Early this morning occurred the
death of William j. Baum an, one of
the best known and most highly re-
spected Of the Irish-American patri-
archs of this county. For many
weeks he suffered greatly and it has
been known that he could not long
survive. All the aid that science
could give, all the ministrations that
loving hands could tender. all the
consultations that his church could
bring were his during the hours of
pain. He died at peace with God
and man, surrounded by Loving hearts
and conscious that he carried with
him the respect and affection Of q
very wide circle of friends.
Mr.. Bauman was born in Auburn.
N. Y, on the 9th day Of August
1887. When twenty eight years Of
age he was married to Miss Elizabeth
Brosnahan and for nearly halt GEN.
tury they have given shining exam

their home since that time. Mr..
Bauman held the respect and con
fidence of his friends ard neigbbors,
He served his township we'll as jus

Mr.. LALLY and THE JUDCEsMP
Deaisea Man IS Considering Advisabilib klk-
comins Candidate to Fill the ChureG
Vacancy.

The Denison correspondent to- thu
Register and Leader was not warrank-
ed in stating that the Review had M
nounced the candidacy of Hon., r. e.
G. Lally to succeed Judge Church
1t is fact, however, tina. many Den
ison friends and number from differ
ent parts of the district have urged
Mr.. Lally to be candidate and tAak
he now has the matter under eonsid
GRAFTON. Should he decide to beccMe
a candidate he will have the unaDje
NOUS and hearty support of the Pc.
publican members of the bar of t1i0
county and the earnest support AZ
practically every republican in ne
county. 1t would be distinct 6ran-
cial sacrifice for Mr.. Lally should he
be elected to the judgeship and is -
still an open question in his mind a1
to whether he could in justice to- kxs
family. afford to abandon his prac ctieep
even for the honor of judgeship.
1t will give the Review greasy
pleasure to support Mr.. Lally sheuId
he become candidate. He is man
OF large capacity, of brilliant atssn-
ments and of unsullied honor. He
is big hearted man. He has worked
mis- way from the ranks as few mem
have and in him the men who toiR
would have friend. So far az the
republicans of this county are eDo-
cerned the question is up to Mr.. LaE
J ly. II he wants their support we
believe they will stand behind hIm
almost to man.

Iperate scheme. The fragrance Of the
flowers, the soft air, the moonlight
had been too much for the girl to
Withstand. All nature demanded some

afraid now that he was out Of the
moonlight, "but I don't see the use OF
all that"
"Well, how else could it be done?"
she pouted.
why, I'd just go up like soldier
and tell him."
"Oh, no, no; that would never do"
| II don't know. 1 think the Governor
likes me pretty well, and, besides, l
think he's a little soft on mother. I'd
just as soon chance it. I'll bet he'd
say yes"
"Of course he would, you goose, and
that would spoil it all. Anybody could
be married like that. If 1 can't elope,
I won't be married at ALL"
The boy pondered for a moment or
two and then looked up brightly. IF
we ask him, maybe he'll let us elope."
She was angry enough to have box

And how about the ladder?" she
asked.
What ladder?"
why, the rope-ladder."
What do you want ladder for?"
ITO get out of the window. How
do you suppose I'm going to get down?

She gave him a look that was
enough to have withered him. mo,

asked.
"Oh, 1 forgot" she cried. I'VE can't

or the alligator"

here?"

again. We'll, if everythings got to

Woman Built House.

Miss Lille M. Johnson built the
nine room house in which she now
lives, says the Kansas City Journal.
Miss Johnson began work on her house
in the fall following the big flood in
the Kaw valley Of 1903. She was a
Salvation Army worker in Armourdale
at the time of the flood. She lost ev-
erything except 81. She went to a real
estate firm and arranged to buy on
payments, the 100 feet Of ground on
which her house stands.
In May, 1904, Miss Johnson built a
two-room house, doing all the work
herself and getting the lumber on pay
ments. She received two women
boarders and by July she was able to
buy cow. She began taking in wash
ing. Through these various means she

THE HORSE.
He Is So Stupid That He Can Be
Tauqlt Any Habit.

There have been on exhibition at
various times horses that are appar-
entity prodigies Of mathematical insight
that can do anything with numbers
that the trainer can do. Yet we alb
solutely know that no animal can 30
much as count at all. Furthermore,
it is always the horse that performs
these marvels though the horse Is the
most utterly stupid Of all the dumb
creatures that man has made his
friends.
That is precisely why the horse IT,
always taken to be made into an artth-
metician. He is so stupid that he can
be taught anything-any habit, tha'
is-and, having no mind to be taken
up with his own affairs. can be relied
on to do exactly as he is told.
All these arithmetical fakes, what
ever their details, are worked in essen
TALLY the same way. The horse is
taught, by endless repetitions, some
mechanical habit A given signal, and
he begins to paw the floor. Another
signal, and he stops. Press the proper
button, and he takes q sponge and
rubs it over certain spot on a black
board or picks up a card lying In q
certain position. That Ia all he does.
The meaning Of the act exists for the
spectator only. The pawinss count
the answer to problem in addition,
the card bears the reply to a question,
but the horse does not know It He
merely follows a blind habit, just as
he will stop when you say 'whoa!"

your recitation Of the Declaration OF
Observation-Disclosures Magazine.

CHINA NOT OLD.

At Least II Resents Being Thought
Too Old to Learn.
China Is not an old country, accord
ing to opinions expressed by Woo
Shine and Cheng Tau of YinS Ma, Chi.
ma, to a Washington Herald reporter
These two sons Of the Celestial empire
have been delegated by the Chinese
Central government to visit the United
States and obtain all the information
possible on the American railroad sys-
tenn, with view to making use OF
their observations for the improvement
Of the railway service in their own
country. Mr.. Woo Shine speaks Eng
lish fairly well, having acquired
knowledge Of the language in China
His companion Is silent and close
listener and observer and here and
there interjected word or two In
Chinese. Wearing their hair short
they were asked If they were members
Of the reform party In China They
replied they were not; that they wore
wigs in order not to attract so much
attention in the United States. The
wigs were ill-fitting and made from the
straight, black, coarse Chinese hair,
parted in the middle, and in connec-
tion with their unusually dark COM
plexion, gave them the appearance OF
Indians. For the same reason the
Chinese officials discarded their native
garments and are wearing cheap store
clothes, which they bought in San
Francisco. They will call on WI Ting
fang, the Chinese minister, when they
will apear in their Chinese apparel,
sans wigs, sans store clothes, pigtail.
silk gown, and mandarin cap, coral
button. and all.
People say China is an old nation,
that its people are too old to learn" |"
said Mr.. Woo Shine. THAT Is not so
at all. If We are old, we are waking
up and find ourselves young, full Of
life, enthusiasm, and enterprise. II we
were old, we would be useless; but we
are not, as you will admit. Our great
wealth Of mineral resources, Of coal,
iron, gold, silver and all sorts Of pre-
cious metals and stones, has hardly
been touched. We have not yet be-
gun to build railroads, and our rivers
and canals do not show the activity Of
steamboats, as they do in your waters.
We want to learn from America, whose
people we regard as our best friends,
and we want them to teach Us and help
us. China Is young country, like
America; 1t Is a great country like
America, and is imbued with the de-
sire to be Americas best friend. With
strong and powerful China guarding
one side Of the Pacific and America
the other, and the two countries good
friends, no country would dare to dis
turb the peace Of the world. No pow
er as 1t even now dares to entertain
aspiration for the political control Of
China"

LONG FUNERALS.
AbbeviIle Press and Banner Delivers
Singing Criticism.

AbbeviIIe Press and Banner Delivers
Singing Criticism.
The Abbeville Press and Banner
in its account of the funeral Of the
Rev. ]. Lowrie Wilson, makes use Of
the following unusual and stingin1
criticism Of those who held the OBJ
sequies:
Every seat was occupied. Stand
ing room was all taken, and many who
came late fingered about the door
without coming in. The weather was
warm, but it Is presumed that those
who had seats were comfortable
enough. Those who had standing
seats were tired out long before expi-
ration of the hour and a half to which
time the services were prolonged.
"The Rev. Mr.. Law read the Scrip
lures and delivered talk which had
not been carefully digested or rea-
sonably well prepared.
Rev. Mr.. Gregg talked for a long
time in commonplace.
"Our own judgment is. that the fu-
neral services were not up to what
might have been expected Of so good
a man as DR.. Wilson, while they were
cruelty long.
Even in the prayers there was
dearth of thankfulness for the life OF
the good man who had so long labor
ed amongst us, and who had so lately
entered upon that great sleep which
men call death.
I'VE are inclined to think that on
occasions of this kind 1t may reason
ably be assumed that the Lord knows
a little Of us and for this reason the
speaker need not bore an awaiting
audience with q common-p place recital
of facts that are known to us all.
"It is simply next to objectionable
to an audience waiting for an hour
and half that the speakers may talk
themselves instead Of eulogizing or
portraying the character Of the dead. "
We say, this is a remarkable piece
Of writing. but 1t deals with practice
that is all too common in the clergy
and one about which we have often
given serious reflection. Our contem-
porary has no doubt hurt some feel
ings and wounded pride, but it hit the
nail on the head just the same. What
occurred at the funeral Of DR.. Wilson,
as described by the Press and Banner
is by no means an exceptional case.
Many funeral services are too long and
one Of the main causes Of this Is just
what our Abbeviile contemporary
points out, preachers too frequently
fail to assume that "the Lord knows
a little about us.',-Greenville News.
