Death of Mrs. Jos. Z. Phillips.

At the time of noting the death of
Mrs. Phillips, we were unable to give
any particulars, so we take the follow
ing from the Dodgeville Chronicle:
MRS. Joseph E. Phillips (nee Colds
WORTH died at her home on Iowa street
Wednesday morning, February s, 1908,
from a severe attack of pneumonia, at
the age of Is years and three months.
She was about her home on Saturday
attending to her usual duties, and was
taken with severe cold which resulted
in her premature death. She leaves a
husband, baby girl five months old,
her father, mother, one sister, Mrs.
Albert Jacka of Mineral Point, and one
brother, George Goldsworthy Of Chi
cago.
''She was united in marriage to Mr..
Joseph f. Phillips Nov. Is, 1905. She
was member of the Episcopal church
md choir at Mineral Point and contin-
red to be a devout member until her
oemise.
1T seems sad indeed to see one cut
Gown in the flower of youth when so
UGH depends upon them, but il is not
IRIS to SCI, nor is it ours to Judge, and
lie alone can comfort those who are to
year this sad misfortune. =
TIE body was brought to this city for
burial on Friday afternoon with servic-
es in the Trinity Episcopal church.

Living Within Ones Means.

For several years now the people OF
this country have been enjoying per
iod of abundant and remarkable pros
perity. Yet with the first check to
general business it has been discovered
that tens Of thousands of persons are
practically destitute and compelled to
rely on charity. The reason for this in
the great majority of cases is undoubt-
eddy the prevailing tendency of work
ing people to live up to their incomes
as fast as they receive them. And IN
far too many instances this tendency
goes TO the extreme of even living be-
yond ones means, making purchases
and contracting debts with little regard
for ability to pay. Thus when these
foolish ones find themselves out of en-
ployment, even though it be but tenn
porary, they are forced into privation
and even actual suffering, unless char
ity takes care of them during their en-
forced idleness.
Common sense and good judgment
would seem sufficient to teach every
one the desirability Of living within
ones means.
In Mineral Point, where industry anc
prosperity have stood as prominently
to the front as anywhere, there are
evidences to-day Of the accuracy Of al
here stated.
