Mrs. phillip Williams.

Samantha j. Willet was born in
Decatur County. Indiana, Dec. 6, 1916.
When small child she moved with her
parents to Davis City, Iowa. On Nov. 6,
1869 she was married to John Croy, and
to them were born three sons, all of
whom are still living. She united with
the Friends church when about 35 years
old, and continued therein till about
seven years ago, when she was united
with the Methodist Episcopal church,
OF which she was consistent member
till her death. @
Her husband died in April, 1901. In
June, 1907, she was united in marriage
to Phillip Williams of Davis City. She
passed away Jan. q, 1909, leaving her
husband, three sons, two brothers, and
one sister.
Mrs. Williams left with her family,
the church, and the community, the
impress Of good life. The sadness of
her loss is deep one. She was a great
blessing to the home she has left. All
possible effort was made to restore her
health, but fatal malady had laid hold
of her life, and her death came SO
suddenly and unexpectedly that we
could hardly realize that it was the
fact.
She died in the hope of christian,
and we believe that hope was steadfast
and sure, for those who knew her be-
lieved in her. Such are those "who
rest from their labors, and their work
do follow them
She was laid away in the l. o. o. F.
cemetery, after the funeral services
had been held at the Methodist church,
conducted by the pastor. The sym
pathy Of the people Of Davis City is
unstintedly extended toward Mr..
Williams and his family at this time.

To get waiter quickly In big cafe

od from a New York friend which Is

man was giving dinner In one or

New Yorker and two women as his
guests. After long delay a waiter
came and took the order. Then one or
the women decided that she must make
a change IN her order. The host sig
nailed one waiter after another without
avail. After about ten minutes OF yio-
lent gesticulatlng on his part the New
Yorker said:

attention. I'll bet you S5 | can bring
a waiter To this table within thirty
seconds"

phian, drawing out his watch. The
New Yorker reached over into the

Green Feed for Laying Hens.

If the best results are to be obtained
with poultry they must be furnished
with a plentiful supply Of green feed.
Where fowls have unlimited range on
farm they will secure green feed during
the spring, but during the winter 1t
must be supplied for them. The ques-
ton of how to supply the best feed at
the least cost is one that each poultry
keeper must decide largely for himself.
1t will probably make but little differ
ence what kind of green feed Is supplied,
provided it is relished by the fowls.
Cabbage, turnips, beets, potatoes, ETC.,
are suitable for this purpose. The larg-
or roots and the cabbages may be sus-
pended BY means OF wire or string, or
thew may be placed on the floor, In
which case 1t would be well to split the
turnips or beets lengthwise with large
knife. Potatoes and turnips should be
fed cooked. The mangel is an excellent
root for feeding raw. Cut clover soaked
in boiling water fed alone or with the
mash is good. Glover meal and ground
alfalfa make very good feeds for this pur.
pose. Where the fowls are yarded and
not enough green feed is furnished by
the Yards, a small patch Of clover, al
falfa or rape may be sown. Any one ol
these, if frequently moved, will furnish
great quantity of green feed in a form
which is relished by the fowls. Canads
field peas may also be sown for this pur
pose, and when fed in tender, crisI
condition are escep readily. Rye Is {
good crop for late fall and early spring
for 1t will germinate and grow in very
cold weather and will live through th'
winter. As a general thing, fowls should
have once day about all the green feet
they will eat.

quickly. and still Pike stood there IN
an attitude of incomprehension.
The point he had striven for had
failed. He had shown this girl the
true rottenness Of the people she had
tried so hard to ally herself with. and
the knowledge had failed to move her.
His brilliant plan had recoiled upon
his own head and had resulted In more
firmly implanting a sense OF duty IN
her heart. He saw no way out now.
AT first 1t had been desire-now 1t
had become a duty. and he wondered
II he had the right to withhold from
her her Patrimony.
II was not until he saw dark
figure with a bag in its hand walk

The entrance garden. not until he had
