Why Men Like Widows.

Why Men Like Widows.
Widows know how to sympathize-
how to make his stay SO pleasant that
when he does tear himself away his
sole desire is to return.
She knows how to touch the sympa-
thetic chord to make each ones partic-
ular pride vibrate.
Every man feels more or less pleased
with himself If he gets of at the table
what he considers a wise or witty re-
mark. # his neighbors respond he
feels proud and Il doubly pleased, but
If tn yeonly smile the tone of ~self-satis-
faction dies away pianissimo. Now. a
widow understands the witticism. His
most platitidinous remarks are sure to
start a symphony of smiles on her
countenance.
AS for him-she may say anything
she pleases-if she Is a fascinating
widow, he never knows what she says,
but only hears the music of her voice,
as IL her words were the text and her
voice the melody of an Italian opera.

1t has been the will of the all wise
Father and Divine Architect of the
Universe to summon our beloved
brother, Charles Amos, from his earth
ly home, family and loving friends, to
that higher abode not made with
hands.
While we humbly submit to the Holy
Decree, our sorrow will be softened
by a pleasant remembrance of the
gentle life and kindly qualities of our
aged, deceased brother.
He was humble, he was honest. he
was kind. He was a lover of children;
and children, those unerring little per-
ceivers of the gracious qualities of the
human heart, loved him.
Wherever our brother lived the
sympathy and respect of the commun-
ity was drawn toward him.
1t is said no n can escape the bond
age of kindly It's letters
may be silken but they are strong as
those that wheel the earth along in it's
orbit. And while all must obey it's
laws, those laws furnish a currency
with which, if even the most lowly pro
vide himself Herewith, he is better off
in all the markets of the world than
the prince who has it not.
His modest bearing, genial smile,
friendly greeting and constant example
of brotherly love and friendship, will
be missed in his home, in the commun.
ity, and by our fraternity.
Therefore be it resolved by Occident
al Lodge No. q, A. F. and A. M. tina,
we as brothers deplore his loss ant
extend u sympathy and condolenc.
to his family in their bereavement ant
grief.

Insurance
Talks

Farmers as q class carry COM
.paratively little life insurance
probably for the reason that
they do not understand the bene-
fits to be derived from it. A
mong merchants and other town
and city business men life insur-
.ance has a very important place
as much or more so than fire in
surance. In these times no mer-
chant thinks of trying to get a.
long without fire insurance and
very few indeed but who carry a
large amount of life insurance.
Every farmer should carry at
least enough life insurance to
provide his family with money
or immediate expenses in case
of his death.
Death never comes opportune-
ly, and there is never a time
when a family is so greatly in
need of ready money as at the
time of and immediately follow
ing the death of the breadwinner
and provider. Protect your
family to this extent, at least;
don't leave those dependent on
you so that they must twist and
turn and scheme and borrow to
give you a decent burial even to
obtain the necessities of life or
to carry on the farm.
But this is not all the benefits
of life insurance. 1t will not
only give your family immediate
protection, when they most need
it, but will provide all of an
estate. that will help to take care
of them for all time. And more
than that-it will provide an es-
tate for your old age should you
live. 1t will do still more-pro-
vide you with means to raise
money if necessary on account of
short crops or other misfortunes,
as after the third annual pay
ment is made the company will
loan on the sole security of your
policy nearly as much as you
have paid in and at a very low
rate of interest.
The cost of life insurance is
very low-so low that every far
mer can easily carry a SIS, 900
policy. The laws regulating
life insurance companies are
such that policyholders are alb
solutely protected. there is no
possibility of an old line COM
pany failing to carry out it's "a
greement.
Investigate this matter of life
insurance and do it now. No
man knows what the future holds
for him and you owe it to your
family and y%ourself-to see that
your loved ones are provided
for.
We will be very glad indeed,
to give any possible information
about life insurance to any one
desiring it and trust that all in
terested will write us. Don't de-
lay this important matter, to-
morrow may be too late.

for his colleague to suggest a county

(which had been promised. There was

a primary? What does it accomplish?
BY a primary the party builds up an

Through a convention. Who made any

Greek Olympic Games.

1t is quite apparent that there will he
no Olympic games at Athens during the
coming spring. Announcement was
made Immediately after the London games
of 1908 that the Greeks would hold a set
of games of similar character this
year and all the countries represented at
London were to be invited to send teams.
Since then the political troubles which
beset the Greek throne have become so
acute that every one has forgotten all
about the games. The United States has
received no further information about
the games and England has heard moth
ing. 1T would be practically impossible
for either to get together team at this
late date even if the Greeks should sud-
denly decide to held them.
The Greek games referred to should
not be confused with the 1912 meet to
be held in Stockholm. Sweden. in the
summer of 1912. 1t should be explained
that there are two sets of Olympic
games The real Olympic cycle started
in Athens in 1896 and has been ceie-
brated every four years since then.
There are some Greek historians who
insist that II these games We're intended
to follow the ole Greek games In their
chronological order the next cycle would
come in 1910 instead CT 1912. With this
in mind and desire to foster athletics
throughout Greece the Greeks conceived
the idea OF holding set of Olympic
games Of their own every four years and
to come between the other international
meets. This cycle started in 1906 and

TOM WALSH DROPPED
FROM RESERVE LIST

The name of Thomas j. Walsh does not
appear on the reserve list of the Chicago
Cubs this winter, Mr.. Heydler having
crossed il off when he learned that the
player had not been rendered any contract
for some years. Wherein is an amusing
story Mr.. Walsh, perhaps. is the only
ball player on record who wanted his
name put on the reserve list and kept
there after he had quit the game. and
Mr.. Walsh, 1t Is believed, will be sad and
sore when he gets a copy of the lists and
finds his name erased.
Young MIR. Walsh a few years ago was
a college catcher, The Cubs signed him
and he caught couple Of innings. He
looked to be the markings of a star but
when the winter rolled around his father,
rich contractor. took up big job in
Panama and requested the company OF
his son. whom he placed in a responsible
position. Thus did the base ball dreams
of young Thomas Walsh end forever, but
the boy, proud of the glory that was his
in being even an absent or honorary MEM
Der of the Cubs, asked Charlie Murray to
reserve him and keep him reserved SO
that the lists each winter would show his
connection with the great Chicago team.
1t can be imagined with what pride young
Mr.. Walsh each season showed that re-
serve list to his friends in Panama, say
ing: See how much ice l cut up in the
big league and the removal of his name
will give the young man loads of pain.

NEW YORK MAY GET
BIG BILLIARD MATCH
doppe Says Demarest Must
Beat Morningstar or Himself
to Be Champion.
By Willie Hoppe.

With the reconstruction o. the billiard
situation due 10 the clearing away of the
misunderstanding between the chief pro-
rnoters Of the gent!enen's game and two
Of the leading players. the prospects for
the game In the future seem to be very
bright. II cannot be denied that the
game played without tho particira-
ton Of Morningstar or myself very much
resembled the tragedy OF Hamlet with
the omission OF the Melancholy Dane
from the east.
In the recent tournament which was
won by Demarest neither Morningstar nor
myself competed. and the victor is hailed
as the champion at 1872. Conceding that
Demarest has improved remarkably in
the past year still l do not feel that his
title is clear that it will be until he
has vanquished the winner of the match
between Morningstar and myself. As a
matter of fact. | am inclined to feel that
the real champion al 49, will be the
winner OF the 1.5H-point match in which
MorningStar and myself will be the COM
petitors. If Mr.. DemareSt can take the
measure of the man who is the victor In
that contest he will be the worlds cham
pion at Isl beyond all doubt or question.
While the public is not especially In
terested in the details of the disagree
nlent between the promoters and players.
still IL may he stated in a general way
that the dispute related solely to ques-
tons of financial returns to those inter-
ested. The promoters naturally receive
large returns as the result of the sale OF
their goods. and this was due in no small
measure to the publicity derived from
the performances of the experts with the
apparatus in question.
No one questions the merits of the APP
paratus, and by the same token the ar
tistic skill of the experts cannot be over
looked I did not believe that my skill
was receiving proper recognition, and Tor
that reason / refrained from engaging in
tournaments and matches
| make this explanation for the reason
that my attitude in the matter has been
frequently misstated. 1t has been held
that I was a stubborn younSSter with an
exaggerated idea of my own Importance.
This was an injustice to me. as my OBJ
lection to participation in the tourna-
ments was due entirely to a disagree
ment between the promoters and myself
as to the amount of the return l should
get for my skill
We have now reached satisfactory
understanding on that point, and the re-
suit will be that / will now actively en-
gage in tournament and match work. and
put forth my very best efforts in the in
terest of the game.
One other point that / insisted on was
the changing OF the conditions OF match
games for the titles, so that the result
will not depend on chance, but will re-
quire both skill and endurance in the
competitors. | have held for a great
many years that match of one nights
play of 500 points did not furnish a true
test of the skill of players, and that too
much depended on chance. player OF
the first rank is apt to clinch victory in
a ;J00-point game with single run. Wit
