COPPER MINES OF MONTANA.

BROKE IT TO HER GENTLY
Sailor Diplomats Unique Way Of In
forming Elderly Lady Of Her
Pets Death.

Capt. Pritchard Of the Maureta-
MIA was talking about sailors. "We
are a bluff lot" he said. "Did you
ever hear about the sailor and the
parrot? Well, an old lady was re-
turning from abroad with a parrot
Of which she was very proud. She
intrusted the bird, with many adj
monitions, to a sailor for the voy-
age. Seasickness, or something,
killed the parrot the third day out.
The sailor, knowing how upset the
old lady would be, could not bring
himself to tell her the sad tidings,
hut asked a companion, famous for
mis- skill in such matters, to break
the bad news to her very, very gen
tly. The man assented. Approach
ing the old lady with a tragical
face, the famous newsbreaker
touched his cap and said: I'm

SHIPPING AcoRNs.

Eugene Hawkins, living neal
Huntingdon, Tenn, has been for
some time shipping acorns to the
northern states, receiving sometimes
as high as 81 a bushel for them. The
acorns are used for planting pur-
poses, with a view to replenishing
the forests of that section of the
country, where efforts are being
made to restore the timber by plant
ing small trees. AS nearly all the
oak timber in this section of the
state has been consumed, acorns are
becoming very scarce, and it would
no doubt pay the farmers of the
south to follow the example of the
northern people, News

wrought changes in her coun
tenance, railways wore the de-
lightful expression of ineffable
goodness.
Everywhere that she went she
left the tokens of her exquisite
kindness, and all human suffer
ing touched the finest chords of
her nature.
The maternal instinct over
flowed her heart, and found it's
natural outlet in her sympathy
with young life. She delighted
in children, and they delighted
in her, and the simplicity of her
character gave them a sense of
comradeship with her, but her
love for her own children, passed
all words, and was a gauge of
the depths Of her feelings. Here
her gentleness, her unalterable
patience and love we're displayed
in unspeakable tenderness.
She was a patriotic citizen,
proud of the land of her nativity.
Her devotion to American habits,
and domestic life, awoke in her
the liycliest interest. All her
efforts, her labors, her studies
and her hopes were sweetened
by a lofty motive and nothing
ever furnished her close com
munion with her God.
Though the Sense Of sudden
ness in the final summons was a
severe shock, her decline had
been gradual and peaceful, and
in all these days the devotion Of
her friends was intense, for she
had the rarest gift of winning
friendships, being so loving, so
sympathetic, so quaint Of humor
and so untainted by worldiness,
that she ever preserved an un
failing attraction.
There is a classic adage that,
Whom the Gods love die soon"
but if it is a sign of Divine favor
and blessing to die young, surely
it is great blessing to live a
long, happy, useful and blameless
life, and sink calmly full Of years
into the grave regretted and es-
teemed by all.
Life, we've been long together
Through pleasant and stormy
weather,
TITS hard to part when friends
are dear,

Then steal away, give little warn
ing,

Elizabeth B. Thomas.

The generation which illus
trated the history and devel-
opment of Missouri during the
last century is fast disappearing.
One veteran quickly succeeds
another in passing to rest, and
the survivors are few. 1t is a
fresh regret to record the death
of another venerable, and ven
Grated person, who for many
years filed a high place in the
esteem and affection Of the peo-
pie of Lafayette county.
Her loss, is an event which
makes ordinary expressions of
sorrow seem cold and formal.
In a long life she had earned
general appreciation, her days
had been passed in honor and
prosperity; she was surrounded
by troops of friends, and an ex-
traordinary combination of in
t%ellectual and moral qualitie,
made her an enduring favorite.
She was married in early life
to Joseph L. Thomas, a gentle
man Of rare intelligence, I'M
daunted enterprise and activity.
The benign and happy union
shed it blessings upon the child
rem. Mrs. Thomas survived her
husband for some years, and the
habits and training of her
younger days fitted her for the
duties and responsibilities Of
w%idowhood, and the ideal life to
her became one Of earned effort
and retirement, Tapped in the
affection Of her family.
Amid peaceful vocatioGs many
happy hours were spent, her
mind tranquil and her heart in
repose. Her powers of exertion
were great. The cultivation Of
her mind had it's absolute and
intrinsic value in her sight. She
made a study Of history and art
and her information was excep-
tional.
Her fine taste for absolute
truthfulness proved the ac-
curacy of her judgement. A
keen appreciation of nature was
a source of most exquisite
pleasures to her. A fine day, a
sunbeam, a flower, would suf-
flee to delight her. She loved
life, and was full of good taste,
she could laugh over a jewel, or
some womanly trifle, as she
would smile upon a blossom.
She was a person of distinc-
ton both in taste and manner.
She was ever graceful. Her
presence was dignifed, and
bright eyes sparkled beneath
her brow. Though years had

This is the year that every
Democrat should be active
during all the campaign and at
the poll early on election day.
1t looks certain that 1908 would
bring victory for Democracy,
and hat for one term at least
the plum tree will flourish in
the Democratic garden. The
victory may be temporary or
lasting, accordingly as Dem
ocracy makes use Of it's oppor-
tunity. However, should it once
more fail the victory will come
permanently in 1912. The time
has come when the people must
cease to be hoodwinked into the
belief that a political party has a
right to assume credit for all the
blessings which come to a great
and God favored country like
this and shirk responsibility for
a system which has put it into
the power Of a handful of pluto
Gratis to destroy and wreck the

All insurance or protection, when
reduced to Its simple element. is mere
ly a plan for the division OF the loss
among the survivors. The payments
made by a deceased member never
equal the amount of his death.clnin,
unless he survives to extreme old age.
The certain payment OF claim, there.
fore. depends on the collection OF the
money from the other members, or
policy-holders; and II sufficient sum
is not collected from its surviving
members, the death.claims must be
scaled or the company 60 out OF bust

An association with inadequate

experience of oil the assessment as
sociations shows that the deficiencies
created in those early years grow
with age of the association, and ulti-
mately require IN abnormnlly high

then current cost and meet the ac-
crued deficiencies Of the past. 1t fol.
lows. therefore. that inadequate rates

tives; either an early insolvency, with
the total loss OF all benefits, or else n
prohibitive rate OF payment in later
life. when the ability OF the member
to bear even ordinary burdens has
been much lessened by the innrmftics

Each member OF an association with
