Mother belonged to family of great
longevity. A sister of hers lived to be
al years old. Mothers father, Jobe
Matteson, was only about fifteen years
younger than George Washington, and
knew the father of his, country well.
Mother had country school educa-

Upper Sandusky. A young Indian grad

broken all records Mothers brother,

Recollections of His Father and Mother
IT. Mann Tells in Interesting Manner the Story OF
the Lives of His Parents-Father Recently Died at
Ripe Old Age

Some time ago we announced that
Mr.. Mann has received the sad news
that his father in Ohio was dying,
His father has since died and Mr..
Mann wrote a biographical sketch OF
his fathers early life which was print
ed in the Review Of Forest, O., where
his father had spent many of his de-
clining years. Mr.. W. H. Mann Is
well known here and is the Oldest
member of his fathers. large family,
by three and one half years, hence
has earlier recollections than any OF
the others. Don't fail to read Mr.
Mann's beautiful letter to the editor
of the Review. It is interesting.

The Woman In Politics.

Rev. C. r. Nesbitt, Presby-
terian minister Of Nashville, on
Sunday delivered before his con-
gregat;on an interesting sermon
on, Woman in Politics. Among
other things he said:
When a good woman Is led in
to the advocacy of a measure and
that measure is made a political
issue, under the heat and passion
of political debate, she is caught
up and carried on. She is will
ing to sacrifice everything the
friendships of years standing
and the traditions under which
she was reared, ia carry the day
for her idea or the individual.
II has always been true that
when woman goes into poll
tics, moved by sentiment rather
than judgment, she sees onl,
one side."
