DEPARTED

At 12:45 am. Feb. 10th, 1909,
at her home near Springfield,
Mrs. E. P. Mcfarland aged
twenty-nine years and six
months. She leaves a husband
and two children to mourn her
loss.
Miss Louise LaSage was born
in Illinois August l1th, 1879 and
was married to E. P. Mcfarland
August 7th, 1898. She came to
Clay county Kansas, when young
thence to Graham county Kans.,
then to Kay county Okla, then
to Baca county, Colo. where the
latter part of her fife has been
spent. The Departed was well
known in Paca county and leaves
behind her many sorrowing
friends. Her illness had been of
long duration commencing about
August of last year with typhoid
fever and developing into tuber-
colosis which soon carried her
fever wealmed frame into state
Of comparative helplessness.
She was quite cheerful and of a
very active frame Of mind. As
the end drew near life became a
more serious thing. and coming
with all the vigor of her strong
natnre to the Savior of the World,
acceptance with Him who never.
turns a deaf ear to the cry Of a
hungry soul. From then on I'M
till the end her life had been one
of peace and consecration until
hearing the voice of her Master
calling she passed through the
beautiful gates with these words
on her lips. "Oh this is beauti-
full"
The Bereaved have the SYM
pathy of the community.
The Remains were laid away
in the Springfield cemetery at 2

His greatness had its only birth.

A Temperance Lecture

Speaking of Peter Brodine, a
former well known citizen of
Monmouth, Colo. the local paper
says.
eBrodine's career was a
strange mixture. AS a young
man he was inclined to drink but
some twenty-five years ago set
tied down and commenced public
contracting. In the firm of Bro
dine & Dunsan he did much of
the city paving and sewer work
and during this time was a tee
totaler. He prospered and lit
lie fortune accumulated.
For sixteen years Peter Bro
dine stayed outside the dramshop
and prospered. Then the old
habit came back and the once
successful man settled back into
5he gutter again. The climax
came when his wife was nearly
burned to death when the deceas-
ed upset a lamp in the home dur
ing a drunken spree. Later the
couple separated. Mrs. Brodine
finding it impossible to live long
er with the husband, and about
4 year ago she died.
Brodine went from bad to
worse until finally he was taken
to the county farm to be cared
for. Here he seemed to assert
himself again, and once more he
tabooed liquor. He returned to
Monmouth but again his appetite
got the best of him and again he
fell. He went to KeWanee and
it was there the end came"

We visited the Garlic school
last week. This school is taught
by Miss Elizabeth l.. Ford of La
mar. This school is small, but it
was interesting to visit them.
The day that we were there,
there were just six little girls
present, the one boy in the
school being absent, These lit
tie girls sang little primary songs,
recited gems of poetry, and in
some of their work, recited well.
Bulah Davis, six years old,
was neither absent nor tardy for
the month ending February 5th.
Elma Kelley's average for the

We may add no lustre to the
name of Lincoln by our celebra-
tions, but it is a good way to fos-
ter love of country. In all the
annals of history there is no
more fitting subject for study, to
llindle patriotism, to stimulate
effort, and industry, to cultivate
manly virtues, and to awaken a
keen understanding of what it is
to make good, than in the life
of this great, simple, honest
American, Abraham Lincoln.
And we are glad that our schools
are celebrating, some today,
and others later. Program by
