MAUDE ALLEN
DIES SUDDENLY Y
Young Lady of Fifteen Passes Away
After Only Few Days illness of
Heart Trouble.

Again this week we are called to re-
cord the death of one of our number.
This time it is young girl Of only
fifteen summers who responded to the
death call Thursday after an illness of
only few days. Death was due to
heart trouble.
Miss Maude Allen, the subject OF
this sketch, had just arrived here from
Alva a few weeks previous to her
death for visit with her father and
brother Walter. She had not been
ceiling very well but thought that her
trouble was caused by hard work in
school she just having graduated, and
it was thought that the visit here
would help her. She did feel better
too until the first of last week when
she was taken sick and her brother
brought her to town Wednesday for
medical treatment. Her illness was
not thought to be serious and she de-
cided to remain at the home of ID NJ.
Kile and wife for few days until she
should feel better. There did not
seem to be any change ;or the worse
and 1t was not deemed necessary to ad :
wise her parents of her illness until
Friday morning when she suddenly
took worse and in short time had
passed away Her death was a shock
TO the entire community for few peo-
pie even knew Of her illness until it
was announced over the phone that
she was dead
The news of the death of their fair
young daughter must have been a
shock almost too severe to overcome
for the fond parents. Only a few
weeks previous they bid her goodbye
at her happy home expecting her to
enjoy pleasant visit with former
friends and relatives here and return
to them with renewed vigor and happy
But, instead and without word of
warning the terrible death message
came, bidding them to come ut once
not to see their rosy-cheeked darling
in life but to gaze for the last time
upon her pallid cheek and follow the
remains of their loved one to their last
resting place beside that of her sister
Emma, who also young girl ia her
teens, was called away from them only
about three years ago.
Again We ask the question, why
must this be soy Why are the young

70 them and that at moment noticeI
This girl was in her happy teens; the
time when youth stands waiting be-
fore the half-open door that leads into
a fairer and more promising land OF
usefulness. But. as she would have
entered the Messenger says, Come
this way" and He who doeth all things

we must humbly bow. OF course we
do not understand, we cannot under
stand yet while the mother ana iatner,
brothers and sisters mourn the loss oil
her who was so dear to them they DO
not weep as those without hope. Their
child had lived consecrated
christian life and died trilm-
phant and happy death. Whiie
vacancy has been left in the
family circle dear one awaits them
in that upper and better land where
there is no more death neither sorro"
nor weeping. When the final sum
mons comes, may we all be prepared
as was she whose departure is now
mourned.

The male auartette of the South
western College, Winfield, Kansas,
appeared in Beaver Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights, for the benefit of the
Ladies' Aid, of the NJ. f. church.
Owing to the illness of Dean Platts,
he was unable to come. This was
great disappointment to our people as
Mr.. Platts is a learned man and an in
teresting speaker and we were all sor-
ry to lose the lecture he was to have
delivered. The quartette filled his
date Tuesday evening. They also
gave general concert Wednesday
evening which was literally patronized
and which was rare treat. These
Young men certainly understand their
business and can put on q first-class
entertainment. Beaver welcomes tai
ent such as the Southwestern Quar-
tette possess and whenever they want
to appear here their audience is as
surred.

Straws Show

The National Association Of Credit
Men has recently been in session. One
Of the features Of the meeting was q
symposium of three minute talks on
industrial and business conditions.
The consensus of opinion was that the
country is rapidly recovering from the
recent depression. This opinion ap-
pears to be sustained by the facts.
The mills of Pittsburg are running
to within 10 per cent. of their capacity
The McKeesport Tinplate company

ployes. The Harrisburg Pipe Bend

done the same thing. The United

The Iron Trade Review says that the

When you iron waists, one piece

on the clothes rack. make a number
Of tubes with newspapers, tie with
stout strings and slip the blouse or
dress on these holders and hang them
on a nail or a convenient hook. Once
dry. they will not crush 30 easily, and
can be hung in the closet on these
holders. Mailing tubes are the best
for the purpose. but an old magazine
or two papers rolled tightly together
answer the purpose.
Do not hang ironed towels over
each other, for they will not be
smooth If paced while still damp.
Hang mems shirts by the lower por-
ton, exposing the bosom, neckband
and cuffs to dry. Petticoats should be
folded but once and hung up to dry
around the waistband, which retains
some dampness. Handkerchiefs and
starched collars should be laid upon
paper or napkins near the fire to dry
or in the sunshine.

THE SPRAYED SUFFRAGETTE,
Gladstone Says Hose Was Played on
Her to Save Her Life, but He's Sorry.

London, Nov. 2.-In the house of
commons Home Secretary Gladstone
explained why the prison committee
of Strangeways jail, in Manchester,
sanctioned the playing of the hose on
one of the imprisoned suffragettes.
He said the officials were afraid to
break in the door of her cell because
they feared that the walls might fall
and injure the prisoner, whose en-
forced bath lasted only two or three
minutes.
The home secretary said he was sat
isfied that the committee meant well,
but it had committed a grave error.
The prisoner has since been released.
