SHEALEY. Mary Isabelle Bales
was born December q, 1885, near
Belleville, Monroe county, Illinois.
She was converted in her 22d year
and united with the NJ. f. church.

born to this union, three daughters
and two sons, two of which are now
living-Mrs. E.W. FoutS and VIM. A.
Shealey.
For many months she had been
patient sufferer and her patient self
resigned life was admired by all who
knew her. Grandma Shealey was a
thoughtful counsellor-always on the
side of right Her husband was very
much devoted to her.
All that could be done to make her
suffering lighter was done, and she
departed this life September IA and
was buried at Mt. Olive, her funeral
being preached by Rev. }. NJ. Nhg
to large congregation of friends and
relatives. May God bless uncle Joe
in his S7th year and comfort the be-
reaved ones. j. M. KING.
What Did She Mean?
The British Deaf Times" prints
story or two men who were seen
talking on their hands on the top of
an omnibus. Their conversation ran
thus: 81 want your advice" 81
shall be happy to oblige YOU" "Wel,
you know, I'm in love with Mabel.
AT last | made up my mind to propose
to her. Last night | made the at
tempt" "And she refused you?"
THAT is what am coming to.
don't know whether she did or not.
You see, | was somewhat embarrass-
ed, and the words seemed to stick on
my hands. And there she sat as
demure as dove. Finally, my fin
gers stuck together, and Icould not say
a word. Then Mabel gotup and low
: cred the gas" Well?" "Well, what
! IS b0theTlng IS thlS-Why did Mabel
lower the gas-to encourage me and
relieve my embarrassment, or so that
she could not see me talk and so stop
my PROPOSAL"
