up about the throat had a few min
utes' animated conversation with Sir
Edward Grey, both of them showing
plainly their great satisfaction at the
happy result of the sovereign's short
stay at Berlin.
Public Mind Easier.
The visit certainly has had won
derfuI effect upon the mind of the Brit
ish public, and the antagOnism against
Germany seems to have disappeared.
Bsrlin's cordial reception of the king
has paved the way for this, and COM
munications have been given out by
the British and German officials in
which mutual satisfaction is expressed
relative 10 the aims and foreign poll
cies Of the two government. All this
has been so sudden that the question
is already being raised how long It will
last.
Diplomats Optimistic.
Diplomats who have been watching
recent events closely are optimistic.
They point out that British and Ger
man interests do not clash in any part
of the world, and that the bitterness
between the, two nations really arose
out of jealousy over affairs in the near
east. Their aims. however, have been
declared identical, and Germany hav
ing reached an agreement with France
regarding Morocco, there appears moth
ing on the horizon over which they can
quarrel,
The endurance of the Anglo-German
rapproachement. il is recognized. large
~ depends on that between Germany
and France. for in recent years the diff
ference between Germany and Great
Britain arose largely from Germany's
supposed hostile attitude toward Great
Britain's new-found French friends.

Mary E. Dunham.

Mrs. Mary +. Durham was born
in indianapolis, Ind. November IA,
l843, and died September %, 1909.
She crossed the plains with her parents
in 1853 and settled in Umpquaw val
ley Oregon. Here in 1859 she was
married to S. r. Dunham, and moved
to Salem, Ore, then they came to
Walla Walla, Wn., and then to this
vicinity, at which place she lived un-
til her death.
She is survived by her aged COM
panion and her children, Charles,
Arthur and Mrs. JAS. Lenan, all Of
whom were at her side during her
sickness and death.
She died at 8 o'clock a. m., Just
with the awakening life of a new day
she went to sleep like tired child.
Surely most fitting time for pure
spirit to take its fight heavenward.
With the eye Of faith one could see
at the dawn Of this memorable Sep
tember day an invisible handwave a
signal, and voice in softest accent on
the morning breeze, announce that the
gates were open and that Gods angels
were waiting to escort her in. Her
Christian life was beautiful from its
beginning to its close and through all
the vicissitude and sorrows that she
met in the way, her faith in God
never wavered. But she has left us
and today the autumn leaves fall upon
another grave that hides from our
sight all that is mortal of true and
noble woman. The funeral was con-
Quoted by the Rebekah lodge of which
she was a member, at the |. O. o. f.
hall The relatives of the deceased
have the sympathy of a large circle of
riends.-Independent.
