Funeral ct the Ludden N. E. church
at two p. m. on Thursday. Interment
in Ludden cemetery beside her sister
Genevieve.
Abbie Case Nelson was born October
q, 1883. On her fathers farm and in
Ludden were spent the days of her
childhood and youth. BY her sweet
disposition, thoughtful and loving at
tention to all in need she was able to
count all who knew her as friends.
She and her sisters Joined the NJ. E.
church of Ludden several years ago
and since that time she has lived in
close communion with her Heavenly
Father.
In April, 1907, she was unit..d in mar
riage to Eilert Nelson and for these
two short yeart she and her husband
have lived near Oakes on the C. S.
Brown farm. Recently they moved
to Mr.. Browns farm in Hudson
township. She leaves an infant son,
for whose life she gave her own, who
will never know the sweet tender love
of her angel mother. Only those who
have lost their dearly beloved children
can realize the poignant grief of the
father and mother IN their being COM
PEELED to look their last upon all that
is mortal of a cherished daughter, and
we know that words of sympathy from
kindest friends will not assuage the
grief that wrings their hearts, yet
this most tender sympathy makes us
feel the bond of friendship.
Quiet and lady-like she won the
esteem and affection of everyone who
had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
She was a universal favorite in her
home and among her schoolmates and
friends. Her brother and sisters have
lost not only kind and affectionate
sister but their companion IN all pleas
ures and sorrows of childhood's days.
She leaves her parents, brother Harley,
two sisters, Byrdie and Mary, to omourn
her.
To her husband, who has thus been
deprived of all that life held dear, we
proffer our sincere coincidence. It is
hard to part from those we love, but we
know it is not forever; that sometime
we shall meet again in a land brighter
and fairer than this. Let this thought
comfort you: She is not dead! Gods
finger touched her and she sleeps.

A NoNPARTIsAN TARIFF.

The tariff promises to obliterat;
party lines and to prove that, after all
it was not so inaccurately described
as a local matter. Considerations of
pocket, to say nothing of consideration
of principle, operate as points of
cleavage, and the economic vagaries
which lie enshrined in its schedules
supply each one for itself excellent
good reasons for independence of opin-
ions. Except for the fact that, in the
past, tariff for revenue only" has been
a Democratic slogan, and that the
rock-ribbed standpatters have found a
safe resting place in the Republican
ranks, there never was a good reason
why free-traders, or fair-traders, or
out-and-out protectionists should feel
more comfortable under one party
label than the other.
Of late years the truth of this view
has become increasingly evident Since
in the South, infant industries began
to rear their heads; since it first was
recognized this side of Mason and
Dixon's line that an unscalable wall
of protection was an easy profit-mak-
er, since the producers grew numer-
Gus enough to despise and despoil the
consumers, friends of high tariff be-
came an important factor in the manu-
featuring States of Alabama Virginia,
Georgia, Kentucky and the Carolines.
But they continued to call themselves
Democrats.

Discussing the passing OF the late
Japanese incident on the Pacific
coast, the esteemed Birmingham Ledg-
er makes this pertinent comment:
1t is to be hoped that Japan can be
made to understand that she cannot
direct the affairs of the several states
and that by her bumptious ways she
is educating the American people to
dislike her. There are always jingoes
and if Japan aids them they may stir
up the people so that the whole yellow
gang may be driven off our continent
and her fleet sunk in the great Pacific
and her career as a world power def
nitely closed.

new Yorker Finally Rid Of the Dis.
pIsed High Hat.

There is a certain man in New York
whose pet detestation is a high hat.
In MS journey through life he has ac-

and few hatreds-but his feeling
toward a high hat goes far beyond the
limits implied by the mild word
hatred"
However, family influences were
Drought to bear on him when he had
reached the proper milestone in his
lie, and these influences were SO
strong and insistent that eventually
the man in question purchased high
nat; what is more, he actually
donned 1t.
But his hatred abated not a jot. In
fact, 1t grew. He used to open his
hatbox and eye the hat viciously. mur.
dereusly. But thoughts of what the
family would say If he should adopt
violent measures always deferred him,
and every time he shut the box again,
leaving the thing unharmed, and
vented his rage in profanity.
Once he and his family went to
live at hotel in. the country. And
one night, with appalling suddenness.
that hotel caught fire.
Fortunately, everybody in 1t was
able to get out In safety. The young
man of the hat, after counting heads,
and seeing that his people were out Of
danger, decided to dash into the burn
ing building once more-there was
still bit of time-in order to see
whether he might rescue a few more
things from bis room. In the excite

the fire the hotel guests had been
obliged to look to their personal safe.

of their belongings.
Well, the young man, plunging gal.
lantly through flame and smoke,
reached his room. There, the first
thing which caught his eye was the
high hat.
With look of diabolicaI glee he re-
garded it for a few seconds. Then
with an exclamation of delight-he
kicked 1t into the inmost part of the
room, into cracking flame and eddy

means of escape.
Then, diabolical glee still illumining
his features. he emerged a happy

John Ruskin had this to say long
time ago about a matter that is still
as much mooted as ever: Generally
we are under tn eimpression that a
mans duties are public, and woman'J
private. But this is not altogether
so. A man has a personal work or
duty relating to his own home, and a
public work or duty-which is the ex-
pansion of the other-relating to the
state. So a woman has a personal
work or duty relating to her own home
and public work and duty which is
also the expansion of that.

her neighbors more than she does
now, enjoyed going out to that or

railroad was built, homesteaded that

chard; how the young trees took
hold and grew, how they soon bios
somed and then commenced bearing,
and how in few years the trees
were loaded with the finest fruits
apples, peaches and pears-and
those grapes, how they bore and how
they tasted! One almost wished
he lived back in those days to get
some of them. She told how one
fall some Seattle parties saw 1t and
wanted to buy 1t. How they Offer
ed the Ropers a store, a saw mill
and other property amounting in
value up into the thousands of dol
lars, and how he accepted it. Then
the orchard was neglected, through
owners, and then forest fire burned
the house and fences. But for
years after the fences were burned"
she said, the people from all around
went there to get their yearly supply
of fruit and 1t has only been the past
few years that they were not sup

of man had contributed to their de-
struction.

The Deserted Orchards Near Merlin.


1t is a far cry back to 1925, but
that was the year in which John l..
Lanterman was born, way back In
Hudson, Ohio. Seven years later,
only a few miles distant, at Seville,
Ohio, little girl, named Sarah E.
Harkness, was born. For 20 years
they enjoyed the delights of youth
and then were married. The whole
world was before them-and they
came to Merlin. It was some time
before they found the place that
was to be their home for so long, but
when they came to Oregon in 1873,
they had their choice of the greater
part of the Rogue River Valley, for
the railroad had not yet arrived, and
nearly all Of the section was sub
ject to homestead entry-and they
came to Merlin. True It Is that
Merlin was not known when they
came here, but the valley was here,
the hills were here, the streams were
here, the soil that is just now at
tracing attention to the fruits It will
produce was here, and there was
just as much to make IL then to be
preferred to the other portions of
the valley as there is today.
Then the railroad came to Mer-
lin, and still that old Ohio stock as
exemplifled in Mr.. and Mrs. John l..
Lanterman, remained. And here
they are today, and many an inter-
esting story they can tell OF the
early days, and especially are those
applicable to my purpose which re-
fer to the deserted orchards that
surround Merlin, standing as mon
ument to the blasted hopes of the
pioneers in the fruit raising industry
and have been used as a "bogy" TO
trighten away any tenderfoot who
might have the temerlty to start
anew in the district.
