A OF MRS.
JAMES ESLICk

Mrs. Julia (Christensen) Eslick, wife
of James Eslick of Belaeld, died at the
Mayo hospital in Rochester. Mimi,
Friday morning, November 10th. Mrs.
Eslick was taken to Rochester over a
month ago and it was hoped that an
operation might be the means of re-
storing her health or at least furnishing
some relief from the pain she VAS COM
PEELED to suffer because of a tumor on
the brain. The operation was performed
about ten days before the patients
death which came as a blessed relief
to the woman.
Mrs. Eslick was born in Norway SO
years ago, coming to this country with
her parents at the age of two years and
remaining in Chicago for about a dozen
years. The family then moved to Stark
county fully a quarter of a century ago.
She was the oldest of three sisters and
is survived by her two sisters, Mrs.
George Thomson and Mrs. Oyhus of Port
land, Ore, and one brother, James
Christensen. and besides her parents and
her husband, she left five children, three
daughters and two sons. aged from S
to Is years.
Belfield had been Mrs. Eslick's home
for many years. She was married to MI.
Eslick II years ago and Stark county has
been their home all this time. Mrs.
Eslick looked after the culinary work at
the Imperial hotel and was kept very
busy, nevertheless finding time to care
for her children, attend to her church
duties and assist friends and neighbors
in the time of need. She was a member
of the Presbyterian church and was q
most faithful worker. Her acquaintance
were many and her friends equalled the
number. Her beautifully trained child
rem are monuments to her true virtue
and her influence in the home and vii
lage will live for years.
The funeral was held Wednesday
morning and was very largely attended,
Rev. John Diehl, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church, officiating. The flora
tributes were many and very beautiful,
several societies and hosts of friends
contributing. The burial took place in
the Belfield cemetery.
MI. Eslick, the five children, father,
mother, brother and sisters and other
relatives have the sincere sympathy Of
many friends in their bereavement.
Many relatives cam long distances t
attend the funeral, among them being
MI. and Mrs. George Thomson and Mr..
and Mrs. Oyhus of Portland, Oregon.

AN APPEAL.

Oracle, though your little form
Makes me bless my humble lot;
Sunny smiles l find too warm,
Now the weather is so hot.
Therefore, love, when l appear
At your mothers leafy cot,
Can't you chill me with sneer,
Now the weather is SO hot?
Greet me with freezing air
Icy tones you have, l wot--
Colby frigid manners wear,
Now the weather Is SO hot.
If my pleasure you'd enhance
Little Oracle, would you not?-
Darling, freeze me with a glance,
Now the weather is so hot.

There is one thing on which hus-
band and wife never have agreed and
never can agree. and that is on what
constitutes well-beaten carpet. When
the article is clean, it's a mans i'm
preston that 1t should be removed
and he be allowed to wash up and
quietly retire. But woman's appe-
tite for carpet-beating is never ap-
peased while a man has whole
muscle In his body, and If he waited
until she voluntarily gave the signal
to stop, he might beat away until he
dropped down dead. 1t Is directly
owing to his superior strength of mind
that the civilized world is not a widow
this day.

How Does He Do II?

Old Uncle Mllas Watts. colored,
is getting up a big reputation as a
fortune-teller. Last week Uncle
Milas made two pointed hits He
told a minister in North Wilkes
boro where to find a locket which
was stolen from his child. The
minister got out a search warrant
and found the locket at the exact
place described by Uncle Milas.
A young lady in Wilkesboro lost
SO in cash aud diligently searched
for it where she had been. Uncle
Milas told her the exact spot to
find tin a bureau drawer from
which she had taken some clothes
and there the money was found.

why he could guess 30 good. He

Has Two Men to Flight.

There is another issue of this
campaign, and that is whether I
am running against one man or
two. I started out to run against
Mr.. Taft Oh the ground that
they had picked a man big enough
and able to defend himself. Now I
find the President comes in and
takes the lead in this fight. I
don't object to it, but I do believe
it is a degradation of the Office
of President to make that office
which belongs to all the people, a
parsy asset in the hands of one
party. I insist that the American
people have a right to elect their
officials with out dictation from
Washington, and l ask the Presi-
dent, after he has nominated Mr.
Taft, to stand asi ie and let us
fight it out before the American
people on our platforms. From
a resent speech by W. ). Bryan.

Fire Caused by Sea Waves.

In spite of apparent impossibility
a fire was caused by water some few
years ago on the western. coast of
Ireland. The rocks along this coast,
which the huge Atlantic rollers
have for centuries been slowly
breaking down and piercing with
great caverns, contain in their
depths masses of iron pyrites and
alum. At one part of the coast the
water penetrated to these, and a
rapid oxidation took place, which
produced a heat fierce enough to set
the whole cliff on fire. For weeks
the rocks burned like a regular vol
cano, and great clouds of smoke and
vapor rose high in the air. When
at last the fire died out, great
masses of lava and clay burned to
brick were found in every direction.

His BRIGHT ldea.

Pat was digging a ditch. On the
first day of the job he dug and dug,
but made small progress. He went
back next morning only to find that
what he had done the day before
was entirely wiped out BY a cave-in.
Then a brilliant idea occurred to
Pat. Half burying his pick and
shovel in the earth, leaving only
the ends sticking out, he carefully
threw his coat and dinner pail over
the edge of the cave-in and then
hid. In a short time people came
along, took in the situation at a
glance, jumped at the conclusion
that the laborer had been caught in
the fall of the bank and went to
work hastily, trying to uncover his
body. Half an hour later three
sweating and puzzled men stood by
the nearly completed ditch and won
dered where the buried man was.
Then Pat came out from his retire
ment and said: "Thank ye, gentle
men. I knowed you'd bite on that"

Miss Baxter, feeling the effects
of a torrid afternoon in June, was
attempting to arouse the interest
Of her languid class by giving, as
she supposed, an interesting talk on
the obelisk. After speaking for
half an hour she found that her eff
forts were wasted. Feeling utterly
provoked, she cried: every word
that l have said you have let in at
one ear and out Of the other. You"
pointing to a girl whom she no
ticed had been particularly inatten-
tive throughout the entire lesson
"tell me, what is an obelisk ?"
The pupil, grasping the teachers
last words, rose and promptly an
swered:
Gan obelisk is something that
goes in one ear and out the other"
