Obituary.
Ora Vernon Simmons was born
n this county July 20, 1898, and was
1T the time of his death IL years,
1 months and 2 days old. The In
mite God by whose wonderful laws
he happy little patient came and
departed, beneficently taught through
his little life the lessons of tender
less, patience, love, to all acquainr
ances, friends and relatives of the
passing little soul. The surviving
>nes submit the following as a trib-
1te to their childwho has gone be-
lore:
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
\ place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given;,
Although the body moulders here,
He shall be safe in heaven

She will carry crew of some
what over 900 men. These men are
drawn from the young, vigorous men
of the country. Each of these men,
with the improved machinery and
wonderful facilities for production
that we now have, is worth, at a low
estimate. fifteen hundred dollars in
productive power per year; $1,35OO00

We are using up our coal at a
rate that will exhaust our supply
in period variously estimated at
from 800 to 500 years. After while
we shall probably send this great
vessel round the world to show 9TH

voyage we shall use up enough coal
to run dozen ordinary factories a

Then they will anchor off some
rocky bluff and have some little ar
tillary practice for amusement. Ev-
cry time they shoot one of those big
guns they. will shoot away the value
of a snail form or good cottage
home for a worker.
And perhaps worse than oil else,
these men who are imprisoned on
this useless tub for five years or so,
will be so demoralized by idleuess as
to unfit them for any active service
in the Industrial field for their nat
ural lives. Besides, all their intellec-
tual, all their inventive power will
be lost to the country.
Truly, we are set of idiotio lulus
to permit such system. In a thou
sand years the people then on earth
will look upon us about as we look
upon the savage that lay In wait
with his club to- knock his fellow be-
ing on the head and put him in the
soup kettle.

GET IN STYLE BY
HAVING A RUNAWAY.

In spite o. the seriousness of some
of the runa ways recently, the siren
uous persis tency with which they are
occurring has an amusing aspect.
There have been about ten of them
within almost as many days. Among
the latest and the less serious, were
the following:
Last Monday the team owned by
NJ. H. Ogan living on the Imnaha
road, ran away in Enterprise while
hauling a wagon load of lumber. No
one was hurt. The team ran into
an electric pole near the residence
of B. B. Boyd, cutting the pole
off squarely. In some way the pole
caught and held the wheels of the
wagon, thus Stopping the team.
| This, if we have a correct record,
was the eighth runaway here and
lear here. On the same day, in
'ront of his home on Alder Slope,
0rla Beechers team took fright and
an. The report is that the fright
sned animals strung the wagon out
n sections pretty much over that
school district. AS if this were not
anough as record, Marion Langston
While hauling lumber out of the
Mountains, was unable to hold the
cam he was driving, and they ran
lway. Mr.. Langston pluckily held
IN to the reins, and finally got the
frightened animals stopped.

THE sATLEsHlp FLORIDA.

For moment the United States
possesses the largest murder machine
in the world. 1t will not hold this,
advanced position long. A half doz-
en- other nations are straining 10
build bigger and more perfect instru-
ments for man-killing.
Today, however, the palm rests
with the United States. When the
Florida is completed she will be able
TO hurl more murderous projectiles
and destroy more property I'm a MIN
ute than. any other piece Of mechan-
ism on earth.
Her construction Is measure of
the progress that has been made in
constructing these instruments of de-
struction. We are told that with
every broadside she will hurl more
tons of metal than Dewey's whole
fleet could throw when he sailed In
TO Manila bay in 1898.
That was twelve years ago, and
every ship in Dewey's fleet is now
so much junk. A ship which can be
whipped is junk. A ship which can
not injure another vessel Is worse
than junk. Every increase in the
size of ships, every improvement in
armor or armament, makes junk out
Of all previous material.
The Florida created a lot of junk.
The workers OF the United States
are paying for that junk. They are
paying for the ships that make, junk

Suppose the money that has been
invested in a navy were used in the
building of big, beautiful, safe excur-
sion steamers to sail out of the har-
bors Of the great cities on the ocean
and the inland lakes. 1t would be
possible to take every sick child
and every worn-out mother for a
scod, long vacation trip that would
save thousands of lives each year.
We believe that would be better
way to spend the money.

What a Toad Enjoys.

There are few things more amusing
than to watch toad submitting to the
operations of back scratching. He
will at first look somewhat suspicious
ly at the twig which you are advanc-
ing toward him. but after two or three
passes down his back his manner un-
dergoes marked change. his eyes
close with an expression of infinite
rapture. he plants his feet wider apart.
and his body swells out to nearly dou.
BILE its ordinary size, as If to obtain
by these means more room for enjoy
ment Thus he will remain until you
make some sudden movement which
startles him or until he has had as
much petting as he wants. when. with
pun Of regretful delight, he will re-
duce himself to his usual dimensions
and hop away. bent once more on the
pleasures of the chase.
