On Tuesday morning, Sept. Is about
$3.50 occurred the death of c. j. Holl
ing at his late home in Aspinwall
Death came as a relief after a lingel-
ing illness of complicated diseases
since February. Claus John Holl
ing was born in Henstedt, Schleswig
Hostein, June 3, 1880. He came tc
this country in 1850 at the age of 2l
and settled near Long Grove, Scott
county. Two years later he was mar
ried to Augusta Rasmussen. After
residing at Long Grove for twenty
three years he came west in 1915 and
settled on the quarter section of land
adjoining the present town of Schles-
wig on the east. In the spring of 1883
he sold the furniture and undertaking
business at Vail, which business he
conducted six years Disposing of it
in 1889 he moved back near his old
homestead, which was about twelve
miles northwest of Denison and went

taught school eight years before this,
during his previous residence on the
farm. He taught in both the English

year and for the past fifteen years
he was postmaster at Aspinwall. In
the numerous positions of trust which
he held during his life he was count

The Awk,xard Mrs.


A curiously awkward word, If it be a
word, Is Mrs" 1t is not spelled as it
is pronounced-no one but Welshman
or a Pole would be equal to pronounc-
ing 1T as 1t Is spelled--and its pronunci-
etioh is a clumsy contraction Of the
good old English designation .'mis-
uess,"
In days of old, when leisure had not
become, as it is now, almost forgot
ten luxury and people We're less anx-
ious to clip their speech, the full pro-
nunciation was often used, and "mis-
tress" was not altogether elbowed out
Of existence by the vulgar "missis"
But nowadays mistress has become
as much a term Of opprobrium as hon
or, and consequently the contracted
pronunciation of MRS" has prevailed
and holds the field.
Another point worth noting in the
history Of the designation is that about
150 years ago and earlier "AIrs." was
applied quite impartially to unmarried
as well as married ladies. Even chill
dren were sometimes styled MRS

King John and Mccarty.

King John and McCarty.
During session of the territorial
legislature of Montana a measure was
introduced which involved grave con.
sftutional questions, as it seemed to
some. One orator declaimed quite
dercely against it, urging that it was
clearly in opposition to the great prin-
ciples of the Magma Charta which the
brave barons in days of old had wrest,
ed from King John. Another legislator
rose Immediately to reply, determined
to show that he for one was not to be
overwhelmed by high sounding words
or obscure illusions. Plrnging at once
into his subject. he declared with much
vigor that it was time for the legisla-
tive bodies of Montana to think and
act for themselves without reference to
the opinions or principles of King Johp
and his man McCarty.
