ling, or Grandma" as she was affectionately called; we are, therefore, called upon to second the death of a beloved one whose life was one of exceptional chris tian virtues, one whose life shone from an ropen and generous heart. She was known far and near, and to know her was to love her.
 She was born April F, 1S47. She was married to T. w. Hal comb in 1S47. God, in His wis dom, saw. fit to take from her, her beloved husband in 1S4S. In 1852 she married J. w. Riding, and in 1879 he died, leaving her a widow since that time.
 She had to pass through many sore trials and disappointments, but in all her sad and dark hours she went to Him who helps in time of need.
 She professed faith in Christ and joined the Baptist church at the age of 15. Since that time she lived a consistent and devot- ed christian life until her death, which occurred at her home, T. J. Purtle's, Feb. 20, 1907. She was S3 years, 10 months and 3 days old.
 "Grandma" was a loving and devoted wife, a tender hearted and kind mother. She loved her church with all the devotion of her heart. Her faith in God was strong. Her desire for the sal vation of the lost was great. She bore her affiictions with great patience she often asked that Gods patience might be such that she would not murmur nor complain. Grandma is gone. We cannot see her face any more, but, thank God, she has left a life so full of noble deeds of love to God and man that we truly say that we are glad she lived. Now to the bereaved ones: Grandma is gone, but we feel sure that she stands with beck oning hands at the gate of the beautiful City of God. bidding loved ones come.
 In her death the church has lost one of it's strongest and most faithful members, and the home ones the light that shone so brightly. She leaves four children and a host. of grandchil- dren to mourn her loss. May God s richest blessings rest on them, and may there be happy reunion of the loved ones in the Home of the Blest.
 Lfe's race well run,
 Life's work we'll done,
 Life's crown well won,
 Now comes rest.
 Resolved, That copy of this go upon our church record, and that it be sent to the county pa pers and the Arkansas Baptist paper for publication.
 Done by order of the Lane burg Baptist church, May 4th, 1907.

Aprons and Their History

Aprons are by no means modern in
ventions; their pedigree is extremely
long. and very interesting. There have
been fashions in aprons. as well as in
gowns, for at least 600 years, for in

at the TOP. These were more for utility
than for ornament. but beginning with
the reign of Queen Elizabeth the apron
became and remained an important ae-
cessory to the toilet until late IN the
last century.
1t was Queen Anne, or rather during
her reign. that lace aprons were fol-
lowed by satin creations marvelously
embroidered in colors. and bordered
with gold or silver fringe or lace.
The grande dame never wore a bib
upon her apron; only children and the
lower classes did this. The elaborate
aprons were very expensive, and were
often of Oriental workmanship.
They came into wear even for dress
occasions. these satin and gold lace
affairs. and IL was not until the shirt
WASTED empire styles came into vogue
that the dainty little ornaments. for
such they had become, were gradually

Erf1a0dgdnce in JeIOeLS

Truly the influence OF the barbaric is
felt in the question OF jewelry more than
IN any other. Precious and semi
precious stones alike are used with
astonishing prodigality on almost every
thing from hatpins to pocketbOOks. In
jewelry for evening wear there is not
so much chance for originality, except
IN the design Of the tiara or necklace.
but for daytime there are continually
brought forth all sorts OF dainty things
for my ladys use. Watches have been
glObular of late, according to the die
tates of fashion, but now they must
be as fat as possible, and arc worn lock-

As for bracelets. was there ever such
a vogue as there Is for wrist ornaments
II started with the engagement bangle
two years ago. and as the fancy gained
upon popular taste the jewelers. brought
out hundreds OF new designs and as
many antique ones. Jewelry. like furs,
seems TO run in cycles. When a piece
goes out of fashion, instead of having
it altered TO suit the fad Of the moment,
il may be laid away. and is pretty sure
to come into style again within the gen.
Grafton Look at the broad gold band
enameled bracelets that were worn some
fifteen years ago. The girl who posses

handed down by her mother is an object
of real envy at the present moment. A

Pearls or diamonds show of the white
ness of the arm perhaps better than
any Of the other stones.

Empire Aprons.

In France very large aprons almost
entirely hiring the scanty skirt were
worn during the Napoleon era. but in
other places the apron only appeared
for home wear. in the time of our
great-grandmothers is was made OF
shiny satin. usually black, but some
times of gay hues. embroidered with
hideous clusters Of flowers and pipings
or ruchings OF lace.

Just now the June bride is the most
Interesting figure in the dressmakinS
world. for her trousseau is uppermost
in the minds Of professional and home
sewers. How to stretch the amount
laid aside for bridal finery is the ques-
ton which agitates the bride-tO-be and
her mother. How TO secure the most
bridelike results from the fabrics and
trimming provided is the problem of the
Ciressmaker. for in a day of garment
luxury, the bride must stand out pre-
eminent.
To accomplish this feat on a limited
amount of money, rare discretion must
be shown in the selection of weaves
and colors. Often the very shade Sc
lecJed may deaden a costume and make
it unsuitable for the rousseau, Whi'S
soft, clinging weaveS, with a Saun-nn-
lshed surface should be given the pref
erence for all but the most practical

dash of colored embroidery or French
applique. fancy buttons and velvet RID

eral air Of festivity must emanante from

um. has just completed thorough ex-
animation Of the bones Of prehistoric
animal found In cave near Holiday
burg, Pa, and Is OF the opinion that
the find is one Of the most important
ever made. Among the bones un.
earthed were those OF an immense
bear, wholly unlike any other in exist
ence at the present time. 1t was about
twice the sine Of the present polar
bear. which Is the largest Of the bear
species, and Is possessed fully twice
strength and courage OF the polar
bear.
Among the other bones found were
those OF what we're at first supposed
70 be the young OF the great bear. But
an examination By DIR Holland set
aside this theory. and be now announ-
ces that these bones are those Of nam
moth calves. DR.. Holland claims
that the great bear must have raided
the mammoth herds, killing the
young and dragging them TO the bear
cave, where they were devoured.
There are a large number Of bones

A Story On The Travelling Fulton Girl

Kansas City Star.
A young lady OF Fulton was on a
train near indianapolis when the
President visited that city recently.
She was suspected Of being an Anar-
chist. In her suit case, placed near
the steam heat coil, were several magic
hair curriers' made Of celluloid. 1t was
early In the morning and the heat was
on. Coming in contact with the coil
the curriers' began to burn and emitted
a dark smoke from the suit case. The
porter was asked to carry the suit
case to the platform so the burning
articles could be removed. He was
scared half 10 death and baked. He
thought that there was some internal
machine in the suit case that would
explode any minute. The young lady
carried her belonging to the platform
and took out the burning curriers'. The
passengers in the meantime had be-
come excited, and the train force came
out on the platform and went through
everything in her suit case TO be sure
there was no Internal machine In the
case that was being taken to Indian
apolis by some anarchist.
