MSS. ANN AUGUSTA ELLIOTT


her life on last Thursday afternoon,
May 20, at the age of so years,
The end was not unexpected, as
she had been a sufferer for some
time from a degeneration of the
heart, and for days had been kept
from extreme suffering only by the
use of powerful tonics. In her de-
cease she is lamented by a large
circle of relatives and friends. She
was the only daughter of Daniel
Currier, who came to River Falls
more than fifty years ago and set
tied on the farm west of town which
still bears his name. The family
moved here from Lowell, Mass.
where Mrs. Elliott was born July 4,
1913. All of her adult life has been
spent in this community. At the
age of 10 she was married to our
townsman, John Elliott, the mar
rage taking place on Nov, 7, 1867.
Mrs. Elliott's life has been spent
upon farms in this vicinity up to
four years ago, when she and her
husband moved into town. Her
life has been essentially that of a
home maker. She gave herself
without stint to her work in this
sphere. 1t was large enough and
glorious enough for her, and the
end justifes the choice she made.
The later years of her life were
marked by a beautiful spirit Of
cheer, and the absence of complaint.
Shortly after her marriage she unit
ed with the Congregations church
and has lived a true and valued
member of that society. She was
the mother of five children. One
died in infancy. One, Jay M, grew
to manhood, but was killed by light
ming in 1895. The other three, Hen
nv, Walter and Belle, (now Mrs.
Frank Hannah), are still living to
mourn with their father the loss of
a true woman and mother.

According to Professor Albion w.

Club.
I'VE modern Americans" he said,
"are the most unhappy people that
have ever lived on the face of the
earth, Why?
Because we are the most prosper
Gus people.
Because we are the freest people.
Because We are the most highly
educated
Misery does not make people dis
satisfied as much rs prosperity. It is
not those who are the most miserable
nor those who lack the most of social
or material wealth whose dissatisfac-
ton over their condition breaks out
into revolutions for reform.
Take the great revolutions OF
modern histOry-the French Revolu-
tiOn or the Civil War, for example
and you will note that the respective
countries in which these agitations
developed were not ripe for revolu-
tion until they had come to a certain
degree of prosperity. which devel-
oped the idea of personal rights and
liberties.
'The main reason why, in my judg-
ment there will be no revolution in
Russia for a long time to come is the
fact that the common people of that
country are so miserable that they
have been, and will long be, unable
to develop a dissatisfaction acute
enough to break into forcible resist
ance.
In the same manner freedom and
education make for unhappiness.
They bring serious responsibilities.
They make the individual feel and
see the actual inequality of men.
They food society with problems
that tax the mind and scar the heart.
So various are the appeals which they
make to our intellects and our feel
ings that we reach for a remedy and

to find how near it fits the disease.
"0ur American forefathers hit upon
political democracy as the remedy for
all social wrongs. We have tried it..
We have twisted it and stretched it
aud revised it and have in the end
found that It has brought us graft,
corruption and social unrest. The
longer we have handled it the more
complex and the more distressing
have our political and social problems
become.
Now we have new doctors in the
field. Social democracy is the cure
all they would have us swallow.
But let us beware. We have been
sorely disappointed in political dem
ocTcy; may not social democracy
bring just as many and just as trying
COMPLICATIONS?
Let us not despair. The talent
for misery is the fountain of progress
1t is only when men can picture to
themselves what they think and what
they want. ana can work up enough
genuine dissatisfaction to get them
selves into action that they accom-
