passed to the great beyond, his
pain and suffering being more
than he could bear at 10
O'Clock Friday night and consci.
Gus until within few minutes of
MS death, and while bis suffering
was awful, he talked with tie
members of bis family and others
who had assembled about the bed
side. 1t became apparent early in
the evening that death was only a
matter of a few hours as the shock
had been too severe and the news
cast a shadow of gloom over the
entire city.
There was no more generally
loved boy in Fort Scott than
Elmer, and his death is a sad blow
TO the members of his family and
his many friends. Expressions
of grief could be heard on all
sides last night when the news
spread that he was dead. No
arrangements were made last
night for the funeral.
Although the Mende1haIIs have
not lived in this city for some
years We still consider them Great
Benders, and we know we voice
the sentiment of the scores of
friends of the family when we
unite with the people of Fort
Scott in expressing our deepest
sympathy to the bereaved parents
and relatives.

There was light from six lanterns, held
BY giant negroes, to greet me when I
had mounted the ladder and was at last
on the deck of the great ship: but none
OF the men spoke q word, nor could I see

touched me on the shoulder, and follow

above me- and again by the covered forms
OF quick-6ring guns. We descended q
short ladder to a lower deck, and 30 to
the companion way, and to a narrow pas

Fling warm rain of late summer. and
there was spray from fresh sea. For
some minutes set myself to ask where I
was; but 1 knew that I was bound at
the left hand and at my feet, and when
l raised my head, l saw that lay in
an open boat, but my feet were towards
the stern OF 1t, and could see nothing of
the power which moved the boat or Of the
scene about us.
The boat in which I lay was painted
white, and was Of elegant build. She
had all the fine lines Of a yachts jolly-
boat; and when l raised my head could
see that her fittings had been put In only
at great expense. The silence was broken
at last by a shout, and the boat ceased to
move.

and after that heard the o-heaye" Of

Scratched Furniture.

A good way to remove scratches
from furniture is to use pulverized
pumice stone. Rubb it on to the mar
red surfaces with a soft flannel rag
that has first been wet In crude or
raw linseed oil. Apply briskly until
the scratches disappear, then rub with
the linseed oil alone until the surface
comes to q polish.

Owen Nudge was a very sensitive
man. More than once at a harsh word
he had forsaken profitable work and
gone home for sympathy to his wife.
One morning Owen started out to help

stump-pulling machine and was pre-
pairing to clear a field,
Toward noon Owen came back. Mrs.
Nudge sighed and waited sympathetic
ally for the explanation.

rubbing his jaw. when I see that

tracted. The first thing l knew I was
