In the Kings Pockets.

Like every man who values the
look of his clothes, King Edward
carries very little in his pockets
besides a handkerchief. In his
waistcoat pocket he carries a gold
pencil case, a cigar cutter, a little
passkey, a gold watch, carefully
regulated by Greenwich time, and
half a dozen s%overeions. In his
coat pocket he carries a tiny note
book, and in the winter he puts
his gloves in the pocket of his
topcoat. The king never carries
a cigar case, except a gold case
which holds one cigar, but he al
most always has a small box of
lozenges. Unlike his nephew,
the kaiser. he never carries a
fountain pen in his pocket.

been in poor health a number of years, but
for the last year has been gradually failing

the daughter of the late Loami B. and So
phronia Downing. She waSborn in Brown

Jr., in Novem Der, 1S49 Most of her mar

a number of years she and her husband
have been among the oldest citi zens.
She had long been a member of the M. E.
church at Barton and though her health
was such she was not able for some years
to leave home much, those who knew her
best know what true Christian life she
lived. She was social, full of pleasantly,
kind and motherly and loved by old and
young alike. She was kind to the poor,
ever ready to help those who needed her
help, to cheer those in sorrow. During her
long sickness she was always patient and
hopeful; and in many respects she was a
remarkable woman. The community loses
a firm friend the like of whom is seldom
found, and her family mother and wife

hose for just such emergencies the entire
barn would undoubtedly have burned as
it was only slight damage was done. the
fire gaining no headway. The high wind
and the distance of the hose carts from the
fair ground made it well-nigh impossible
for the fire companies to have reached the
building in time to have saved 1t, and the
immediate application of water from the
hose at hand saved the day. (After the
fire several parties came into the MONITOR
Office asking US to preach a sermon to
someone because OF the condition of our
electric wires, the clashing of the wires in
the wind causing sparks to fly from the
wires, and incidentally the burning out of
several telephones, when the two systems
of wires came in contact as they do in
wind. We refrain from preaching the
sermon here but respectfully ask one and
all who feel like giving a piece of their
mind to come out to village and telephone
meetings and say their word. That is the
time and place to preach and act. ED
