Mrs. Charles P. Hensley

Alice May Gill was born November
Is, 1870, near Atlantic, Iowa; died
near Hamlin, Iowa, May %, 1908. She
came to Audubon county with her par
ents in 1891; she taught in the public
schools for time, and was united In
marriage to Charles +. aensley on
April Is, 1896. To this union were
born two children, Margaret Hensley,
aged ten years; Frances Hensley, aged
eight years who, with her husband sur
vive her; also her aged mother, Mrs.
M. G. Gill, of Hamlin, Iowa. The
surviving brothers and sisters are:
James w. Gill, who lives in the west
Mrs. w. j. Copeland, of Audubon,
Iowa; Thomas r.. Gill, of Extra, Iowa,
Mrs. Il. II. Wallace, now in Jerusalem
Mrs. Fl. e. Thorp of Chicago, Illinois,
Mrs. N. II. Lewis, of Walnut, Iowa;
George B. Gill, at Hamlin, Iowa. la
1901 Mr.. Hensley accepted Consular
appointment at Crefeld, Germany, and
they returned to the United States after
a two years stay and settled at Bur-
lington, Wyoming. For time the
pure mountain air seemed to benefit
her but about one year ago decline
set ia and was later aggravated by
q severe attack Of la grippe. About
the first of the year IL was thought best
to bring her back to the home of her
parents, near Hamlin, where she might
be better cared for, but in spite of all
that human hands could do she sue
cumbed to that dread disease consump-
ton. Shewas surrounded at her dying
bedside by her husband, her mother
and other near relatives. Mrs. Hensley
was most loveable christian charac-
ter, devoting her life to doing good,
and to her family and friends. She
endured her suffering with patience
and christian fortitude and although
10th to leave her dear ones was recon
SIZED to the will of God and passed to
the great beyond trusting in his endur-
ing love and mercy.
The funeral services were held at
the Presbyterian church, in Audubon,
Sunday afternoon, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. ID. G. Macintosh, and
interment was in Maple Grove Gene
terry beside her father, on the family
lot.
The family feel greatful to their
neighbors and friends for their many
acts of kindness during her sickness
and death.

Be Careful What You Say

In speaking OF PERSONS faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw a stone;
If we have nothing else to do,
But talk OF those who sin,
"Tis better we commence at home, "
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge a man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide;
Some may have faults-and who has
notp
The old as we'll as young;
Perhaps we may, foraught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of a better plan,
You'll find it works full WE'LL
To try my own defects to cure be-
fore of others tell,
And though | sometimes hope TO
be
No worse than some | know,
My own short comings bid me let
The faults OF others go,
Then let us all when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think OF the harm one word would
do,
To those we little know;
Remember, curses, sometimes, like
Our chickens, 'roost at home.
Don't speak of other faults until
We have none of our own.
by j. Earl Emery.

Wanted A Good Swimmer

DR.. Henderson of Ottawa, Fraternal
delegate from Canada to the Metho-
dist Conference spoke in part as fol-
lows. "No man can stand as | stand
today and not feel deep sense of our
obligation to you for planting Metho-
dism in Canada. In those days, there
were men of mighty valor. Our mes,
sage sent to the conference in those far
off days-was, Be sure and send US a
good swimmer, as the last man you
sent us was drowned while attempting
to cross the st. Lawrence river. Free
born Garretson was converted on horse
back; it may be that is why Methodism
has been on the gallop ever since.
They were knight Grants of modern
chivalry. Like Bruce's army, won their
victories on their knees.

MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF
Mr.. Frank X. Hess Takes His Own Life
Because OF Failing Health

1t was a great surprise and shock to
the friends and relatives of Frank Il.
Hess to hear the report, last Friday
morning, that he had taken his own
life. Though he had not been here very
long, and was of quiet disposition,
he had become pretty we'll known in
connection with the business of his
uncle, At our request the following
sketch of the young man was prepared
by one of those who knew him best:
Frank II. Hess, who came here from
Pennsylvania last November, and had
since been with his uncle, A. A. Zaner,
ended his life on Friday morning May
20, 1908, by shooting himself in the
temple, thetragedy taking place in the
hay NOW of his uncle's barn. He had
become dispondent over his failing
health, which was caused by Diabetes;
and as it became serious lie realized
it, and rather than to suffer longer he
took this means OF shortening his days
He had severe six weeks attack of
the disease last summer and after re-
covering somewhat from this he decid-
ed to come west in hopes of the CHI
mate helping him, and 1t seemed to do
so until about a week ago when he be.
came worse again. When found he
was unconscious and beyond all earth
ly aid, but still fingered about four
hours when the end came. He had hir-
ed to his uncle, for year at least, with
a determination of learning the butch
err business which he was doing very
fast, as his training before had been
good His habits we're good and his
object was to please everyone, espec-
tally his uncle, and it will be hard to
guess who will miss him most. He was
about Twenty-Five Years of age. On
the Eighteenth day of January, Nine
tee Hundred Eight, he was married to
Miss Eva Prov, and we can say with
out hesitation that the uni ion was a
happy one, as he was of kind dispo-
sition, and we can freely say that the
| lady in question Is fully the same. He
| lerves father, mother two brothers
and two sisters, with host of other
relatives and friends to mourn his I'M
timely end. His older brother, Mr..
Charles w. Hess, came Sunday even
| ing and started home with the remains
and his load of sadness, Monday even
| ing. Funeral will be held at his home
in Pennsylvania on Thursday, June
Four. The young wife had borne up
under the heavy burden of woe with
much fortitudeuntil the actual moment
of separation came, at the Rock Island
depot; but when they placed the cold
form of her husband in The baggage
car ahead, " and she was to see him
no more, her emotions gained the mas
terry and she wept convulsively; and
many tears were in the eyes of brave
men and strong women who were stand.
ing about the waiting room. Then the
| engine bell rang, the train pulled out
| and the young widow was left with only
the memory OF her husband to cheer
the waiting hours.
