The funeral services for Miss Henri

whose death was made last week, were
held at the home of Mr.. and Mrs E. o.
Dewey, Monday afternoon at o'clock
Rev. 9. II. Hanks conducted the SER
vices and beside speaking words of con-
slaotion to the sorrowing relatives and
friends, many of whom gathered to ex-
press their deep love for the one who
had gone, he paid beautiful tribute TO
the life and worth of Miss Williams. A
profusion of flowers bore silent witness

ceased. Surviving her are the follow
ing brothers and sisters Amos l.. Will
liams; Mrs. e. o. Dewey, Mrs. G. Nc
Cormick, Owosso; Alfred q. Williams,
Newark, N. j.; Mrs. L. E. Phelps,
Lansing, Mich.
Henrietta s. Williams was the daugh-
ter of the late Alfred i. and Harriet N.
Williams, pioneer residents of the city.
She was born Dec. 10, 1860, and died
Jan. 30, 1909. Born in the house where
she died, Miss Williams spent her entire
life in the city, save for brief periods
spent with relatives in other parts of
the country and one year in Colorado.
While still young girl Miss Williams
fell in such manner as to injure her
back severely, making her to an extent
an invalid during the remainder of her
life. Despite this, she completed her
course in the high school, graduating
with the class of 1879 with a splendid
record for scholarship. 1t was her am
bition to enter one of the higher schools
of learning but this was denied her ow
ing to her health. She however contin
ued to be student all her life, finding
great enjoyment in good books, in tn,

Marriage and Meanness.

Some years ago there lived In Atch-
ison young woman noted for her
good works and gentleness. She was
always helping the poor and was pa
tient and kind and universally ad-
mired. She married fairly good man
and abused him within three months.
She had been good and patient for
years. but a husband was too much
for her: she had never been cross to
any one until she was cross to her
husband. There is something about
marriage that stirs up hidden depths
OF meanness on both sides.-Atchison

PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting should.
Of course. be durability-and dura-
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and linseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years ago the paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead If he was not familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety If he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages OF
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
1t is a guarantee as valuable to the
house-owner as the education of a
paint expert could be.

The problem of storing supply OF

venting it evaporating has been solved
by the desert plants in many most in

worthy example is the so-called wa
ter barrel" which, of about the size
and shape of nn ordinary beer keg, is,

The conditions that make this a
woman run town come about in the
most natural way in the world. All
the men are fishers and they spend
the greater part of the year at sea.
They are good sailors and they man

When the men do return they find
that the town has been managed so
well in their absence and the thrift of
the women has been SO well exercised
that they are content not to meddle
and to let things 30 on as they have
been going. There are proportionate-
ly more widows, and young widows,
too. in Cancale than in any other town
of France. A fisherman's bride waits

thrown helpless and homeless upon
the fear that at any time they may be
their own resources, that makes the
women of Cancale self-reliant and
that leads them early to seek some
means of their own for an honest live
lihood.
For the men that remain in the
town the women do not seem to en-
tertain the greatest respect Most of
them have become incapacitated for
work or are shiftless and idle. So the
women run matters themselves.
The thrift that the conditions men,
toned inspire is something of a pas
sion among the women. 1t seems that
there is constant struggle with each
one of them to make more money
than the man who goes to sea. They
frequently accomplish this too, for
the returning fisherman finds fire.
quently that his yearly gain of $3.50 or
5000 got after hard battle from the
sea is more than equalled by the pa
tient and careful housewife that he
left at home.

laid claim to a diamond ring, stick

had been arrested in Cheyenne and
had confessed to the theft of the val

Lieutenant Mason and departed from
Fort Russell about two weeks ago He
came to Greeley and while there sold
all of the articles for 80 cents. The
ring. valued at $105. was sold for
cents. Lieutenant Mason refunded

Forest Service Will Watch Stock Loss.

Washington, June 21.-In the future the Forest Service viii
endeavor to obtain complete reports as to the causes Of all los..
of live stock upon the National Forests. Forest guards and An.
have been instructed to keep a strict account of all live stock fou,,
dead in their districts, reporting to the Forester at the end Of each
month the number found and listing the causes of death as lar :.
possible under one of four heads-accident, disease, poisop. ana
wild animals.
It is believed that such a record will be of great value to stool
men in assisting them to figure up the percentage of their losses
and materially aiding them in preventing some of the losses throu0b
corrective measures. For instance, if an unusually large numbs,
of stock are found dead in some particular locality, due to poison
from dangerous plants, it will be possible to meet this condition Nv
fencing up the area, or perhaps digging up the poisonous plants
If several animals are found killed by wild animals in some
lone canyon, the hunter employed for that purpose, or the ranger
himself, can investigate the matter and either trap, poison, o. shoot
the mountain lion or other predatory animal responsible for the
damage. The rangers and guards are constantly riding over their
districts in the forests and have better opportunities for finding
dead live stock than the stockmen themselves, and as each forest
ranger is supplied with the brands of all stock in his district be
can generally identify the stock by brands and marks and thus
advise the owners.
