BEAUTIFYING A HOME WITH
CASTOFF BALLOONS.
(Subtracted from the Ladies' Home
Journal by a North side woman.)
First get your balloon. Nearly every
broken down and broken boned aero
naut will sell one to you at not more
fhan $4,000, or nearly as reasonable
n price. Give the gas bag a thorough
cleaning. This may be done by filling
it with a ton of ivory soap and rocks
and then claiming it to a river bank,
allowing the balloon to sink to the
bottom of the stream.
After three or four weeks of such
immersion the balloon should be re-
moved from the water with derrick
and dried by stretching it on the cir
Gus grounds.
The cloth may now be cut into sec
tions ten feet square and removed to
cur home. Your husband should be
glad to do this after business hours as
a recreation.
Then the squares can be convenient
ly cut up with timers shears into art
cquares, napkins, rugs, etc. Artistic

made rugs BY firing a charge of buck

bosne in Davis City, January 1900.
Bessie was born near Randall, Kansas.
March II, 1887. When but small child
she came with her parents to this state
and grew to womanhood in Decatur
county. Bessie was converted and bap-:
tized into the Methodist Episcopal
church, under the pastorate of Rev. j !,
R. Bingaman. Her health began to fail
about three years ago. She went to
Colorado, spending a year there in
hopes OF benefiting her health, but not.
receiving any special benefit she wished
to return home. She was then advised
by her physician to go to Iowa City and
take treatment at the sanitarium there.
Everything was done that loving hearts
and willing hands could do but without
avail. The grim monster of death had
marked her as his own, and awaiting
the final summons, she was ready and
anxious to go. She was of loving and
sweet disposition and loved and re-
spected by all who knew her. The fun
eral services were held at the Metho-
dist Episcopal church at Davis City,
January 18th, at o'clock, the discourse.

pastor, taking for his text ii Cor. la,
who comforteth us in all! our tribula-
tions that we may be able to comfort
them which are in any trouble by the
comfort wherewith we ourselves are
comforted of God" The Methodist
Episcopal rites were also used in the
service. She was buried with the beau
tiful rites of the Rebekah lodge. of
which she was member, and inter
ment was made in the l. O. @. E. cem-
etery. She leaves father, mother and
four brothers to mourn her demise, be-
sides a host of other relatives and

she was converted and united with the

she remained member until the time
of her death. Those who we're present
at the time of her Baptism remember
how she came from the water with
shouts of victory; and her christian
life is spoken of as having been one of
consistency and beauty. Before her
death she gave evidence that she was
at peace with God. Her last illness was
long and painful, the physicians pro-
nouncing it uraemic poison. Her death
was peaceful, being but the passing
from a long period of slumber, into the
quiet sleep of death, while the spirit

Ralph Cornelius Hughes,

Ralph Cornelius Hughes, infant and
only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hughes,
of Abba, was born January 4, 1909, and
departed this life January II, 1909, be-
ing only eight days old. His stay on
earth was short, but in the few fleeting
days he took hold of the hearts of his
parents and held them captive; filling
their hearts with bright anticipation
for the future. And now in his going
the tender ties are not broken, but
strengthened as they draw the parents
hearts toward the heavenly home. We
have lost him for little while but he
has gained heaven for all eternity. His
parents with four grandparents and
many other relatives and friends are
left to mourn his early departure. May
their sorrow be lightened by the pres
ence and power Of Gods holy spirit
richly shed abroad in each heart.
Wait, my little one, wait,
When you come to the mansions above,
For ] want the first glance of that sweet little
face.
To stay on my little love.
Stand close by the shining gates of pearl
And beckon MS through the deep
For We was called SO soon to weep.
