Chinese VILLAGE Names.

The villages of China rejoice in z
choice assortment of names, some of
them very ludicrous. Indeed, the mum.
Der of these communities seems to
have been too much even for the in
genuity of the Chinese. Wang, for
example. is so general name for
village that they are driven to speak
of the 'Front Wang" the Rear
Wang" the Wang Under the Bank"
the Smaller Wang" and so on through
every possible adjective or phrase to
which Wang can be tackled. Among
some of the names of villages may be
selected such gems as Bitter Water
Shop" "Liu With the Black Eye"
Dropped Tooth" Horse Words"
Ducks Nest" and. oldest of all
Where They Wear Pug Noses"
Another David
Before David Belasco had reached
the top rung in the theatrical ladder
in fact, when his foot was on the first
step and he was small and obscure
play producer in San Francisco-he
was one time rehearsing melodrama
at the old Alcazar theater The play
contained a few Biblical lines. and the
rest was stirring western drama. The
company rehearsing was none too in
telligent and none too familiar with
the great literary works of history
Melodrama was about all some of
them understood. When the hero came
to the quotation from the Bible he
looked a little puzzled and turned to
a companion to ask who wrote that
part with the quotation marks around
it,
"Oh, David" replied the other actor.
"Well. Belasco always was rotten
writer" exclaimed the hero, with dis
gust. Somebody ought to stop him.

The Monitor printed an item in it's
Issue Of Jan. 10, IN the Orleans locals
stating that Mrs. O. B. Dodge re-
ceived telegram telling of the seri-
Gus illness of her only sister, Mrs.
Hovey of Marshalltown, Iowa. Mrs.
Dodge, accompanied by her daughter,
Mrs. Fred Allchurch, started on
Tuesday, Jan. 18th, for Iowa. We
print some extracts from the "Bulle-
TIN Journal" of Independence Iowa.
''The many friends of estimable lady,
Mrs. Rhoda Lyman Hovey. widow of
the late E. A. Hovey, and her family
were deeply panied yesterday morning
when word arrived here that she
passed away that morning, SsJan. 10,
afthe home of her son, Maurice w.
Hovey, in Marshalltown, at the age
of rs years, 10 months and 13 days.
On Saturday evening, Jan. 8. while
arising from her chair in the home of
hire son, she fell in some unknown
manner and sustained fracture Of
the right hip. To add tn the serious
ness Of the injury was chronic
heart weakness and her advanced age
made her recovery doubtful. The
shock proved too severe or her sys.
TEN and death finally relieved her of
her suffering yesterday morning.
Rhoda Lyman was born in Glover,
March 6. 1884, and therefore would
have been rs years old next March.
She was one of the eldest in family
of six, of whom only two survive.
These are Newell Lyman of Glover
and Mrs. O. B. Dodge of Orleans.
Her parents were Timothy and Maria
Hazen Lyman. Her mother died
when quite young, the home cares de-
volving on her, the eldest daughter,
until her marriage with Mr.. Hovey
on July 4th, 1857. To this happy un-
ion were born three children, Adele
in 1858, Silas B. in 1861, and Maurice
w. in 1886. In 1868 Mr.. and Mrs. How.
! ey removed from Albany to Independ-
ance where they have resided most of
the time until their death. Mr.. How
ey preceded his wife in death, he hav-
| ing passed away on April IL, 1908.
Mrs. Hovey was a good and faithful
member of the First Baptist church
| for period of over forty years. In
her daily life she lived true and cor
scientious Christian. Hers was a
| happy pleasant nature. She was al
ways cordial and cheerful, making
lasting friends of all with whom she
came in contact.

IN HOLDING FAST TO THE
CONSTITUTION.

Mfnneapolis.-After speaking at the
Conservation congress in st. Paul Mon
day morning, and at the Minnesota
State fair grounds outside this city, in
the afternoon. President Taft left for
Beverly by way of Chicago.
In his conservation address, the
president won a quick response from
his thousands of hearers, by an appeal
to practical common sense in dealing
with conservation problems.
In the opinion of many who heard
him, he also made answer to the re-
cent agitation for new nationalism,"
or federal Capitalization Of power,
by declaring that the only safe course
to pursue was to hold fast to the limi'
tations OF the constitution and to re-
gard as sacred the power of the states.
Mr.. Taft, amid applause. made fire.
quent references to the services of
Theodore Roosevelt in the cause Of
conservation, but he declared that the
time for rhapsodies and glittering gen
eralities had passed. He suggested to
the congress that 1t should invite its
speakers to come down to details. to
specific evils and to specific rene
dies.
These sentiments by the president
seemed to receive the approval OF
nearly all his hearers. They came near
the end OF long, detailed and ex-
haustive discussion of conservation,
and he ended his speech with the au-
dience on It's feet.
Mr.. Taft did not attempt to solve
the problem of water power site con.
troll. as between the states and the
general government. but after stating
the arguments advanced on both sides
OF the subject. he said he would sub.
NIT the whole matter to the federal
