In Memory of Mrs. Martha Huff.

Just as the beautiful month of the
golden October was drawing to a close,
the writer was called to the phone to
] receive the sad message that good
old friend and neighbor, Mrs. Martha
Huff, was dangerously and seriously i'll.
We received this sad intelligence on
Monday morning, the Goth, and on
the 2Sth ult., the poor, patient sufferer
was called to enter the haven of rest.
1t was the writer's privilege to visit
this kind, affectionate mother and neigh
Dor the day before her poor, tired, ema-
ciated form was called to pass out and
anchor into that land-the beautiful
land of rest-that is promised to the
faithful. At last when the last battle is
fought and won, Oh, what a blessed
and comforting assurance to know that
as the death angel is approaching they
can tell their loved ones that all is well,
that they feel they are ready and will
ing to go home, into that great change
we know is awaiting them. We are
glad to know and realize that such was
the case with this good friend and neigh
Dor.
Mrs. Huff was noted for her kind
disposition and was a m of good
deeds and works. This good woman,
though very frail, was always ready and
willing to go to her neighbors' aid and
relief and do all in her power to relieve
the sufferers, one and all. She wa
never known to be particular where she
went to do good; it was a universal prac-
tice with her. She certainly fulfilled
the precepts Of the Golden Rule, so in
her last illness the compliment was in
deed recognized by the kinspeople,
friends and neighbors. All that cir
cumstances would permit we're there to
administer to her in her sufferings and
every n present was willing and ready
to render their services from the least to
the greatest, so it can be truthfulIy said
that all was done to alleviate the pain
of the poor old sufferer.
Mrs. Huff was of a very cheerful ma
ture, a woman of close observation,
good common sense and judgment.
She has always been a great help to her
one and all, and a woman of
great energy and perseverance. Indeed
mother will be sadly missed by all.
Mrs. Huff has made her home with
her s%on-in-law, James helms, where
she has lived since the death of her hus-
band and companion, which occurred
something over two years age. Her

FIVE SENSES NOT ENOUGH.

Our Limited Scale Of censoieusness
Shuts Out Many Vibrations.
Between the vibrations that we call
electricity and the vibrations that we
call heat we imagine there must he
other vibrations filing up the zap, but
we do not know, simply because we
have no senses that can comprehend
them. The spectrum Is just such a
little scale. Below the darkest red at
the lower end we cannot sec; at the
other end as the vibrations get; faster
and faster through the orange, the blue
and the violet is another unknown
gap-that is, we cannot see It. But
surely the vibrations are there. Some
Of them, for instance, that we have
never seen and never can see mark
their presence on Photographic plate.
And this same spectrum may be used
as an analogy to describe spiritualistic
phenomena. Just as there are limits
at either end of the scale Of vibrations
beyond which our own senses can tell
us nothing so may there be psychic
forces at work beyond the limits of our
consciousness. These are seemingly
supernatural to us when we witness
their effect, but they really are no
more supernatural than the x ray that
pierces the solid body or the invisible
ultra violet ray that marks the photo

very interesting and instructive talk
to the Knights of Pythias in their cas-

He traced the foundation principles of
the order back to the Pythagorean
fraternity, which existed for centuries
from the time of the founder, about
five centuries before the Christian
era. Damon and Pythias were men,
bers of this fraternity and the order
which was founded in the midst of the
civil war in 1864, was conceived upon
these same fraternal principles. The
address was highly enjoyed by every
one present.
