New Problem

H. b. Oglesby of the Missouri
hoard of railroad and warehou
commissioners found a railroad
problem a day or two ago in Kan
sas City which he is unable to solve
~ was coming in on a Missouri
Pacific train,n he said, "and we
were approaching the Grand Ave.
station when / happened to glance
up at a stable built into the high
bluff. Just as l looked up / saw a
horse tumble out of the door on
the cliff side and it started rolling
down the hill toward the train.
"a moment later the owner OF
the horse jumped out OF the door
and started down the hill in pur-
suit. The horse kept on coming i'm
til finally landed in the ditch along
the track and it seemed certain
that in it's struggles it would get
under the wheels. Before 1t could
get up however, the owner was up
on 1t and sat on its head until the
train got by.
II haven't looked up the law yet
10 see II the board has power to
prevent the building OF stables on
hillsides next a railroad,p he added
l~aughingly.

Old fashioned Methodist used 10
hold "love feasts" at their quarter
ly meetings when the brethren told
their experiences with the world,
the flesh and the devil. The late
"love feast" OF the Missouri Dem

big row had some of the brethren
related their experiences in state
politics. There was not much
confession of sins else there would
have been need of a few more pol

Again we have stepped over the
threshold OF another year. Glad,
bright New Year! One more page
of u life is turned. A page all
spotless and white. May as few

that all the good resolutions be SO
followed that none will be broken,
and no regrets to follow. The mis-
takes of IA lives are many. And
as we take a retrospect view of
the past year we wish they had not
been made. But they cannot be
recalled, yet by asking Gods aid
we can redeem ourtime il we are
willing to profit by the mistakes
of the past. AS the years go by
joys and sorrows attend u path

lives can be so lived that each
year will be our best. And as each

in this glad New Year may Gods
richest blessings be showered upon

HURRIED EATING.

The habit Of hurried eating,
which has become so general
among Americans as to be re-
garded by foreigners as q ma
tionaI characteristic, Is largely
responsible for U being known
as a nation OF dyspeptics. The
relation between food and
thought is so intimate that we
cannot vary the n without az
fectlng the other. Hurry and
worry induce a habit OF hurried
eating, while measured eating
has a soothing effect which is
soon apparent In greater nerv-
Gus energy. II is for this rea
con, chiefly, that thorough
tlcstion improves the general
nervous tone and greatly In
creases endurance, aside from
the saving Of energy that Q
suits from relieving the stomach
from doing the work that the
teeth should do. The natural
way to induce normal chewing
is TO eat only hard food.

Death of William II. Murphy
Last Friday afternoon, March II,
this community was shocked to learn
of the sudden death of Mr.. William
H. Murphy, who for a few weeks
43ast had been troubled with some
affiiction of the head, but nothing
serious was apprehended, until Tues
day, March s, when he seemed to be
getting worse. This continued until
Thursday morning when the throat
and tongue became paralyzed and he
lost the power of speech. From this
time he steadily but surely weakened,
until Friday at o'clock p. m. he
succumbed to the dread messenger,
death. The deceased was born in
Philadelphia, Pc, December 25, 1841,
and while yet young came to Kent
County, where he has since resided.
He served his country three years
during the Civil War, and was given
an honorable discharge at the close
of that great struggle. Five wounds
he bore as a result of the many en-
gagements in which he participated
and from a comrade we have learned
that a braver soldier could not be
found in the ranks. On the eighth
of December, 1874, he was united in
marriage to Mrs. Sarah E. Green,
also of Kent County, by the late Rev.
Enoch Stubbs, of Wilmington. To
this union there was no issue. Quite
early in life Mr.. Murphy united
with the Methodist Episcopal Church
at Blackistons and in more recent
years with St. Paul's Methodist Epis-
copal Church at Clayton where he re-
mained member until death. The
writer we'll remembers what an ac-
tive, interested member brother Muir
ply was only few years since, and
we have reason to believe that the
spark rekindled then had never died
out. Mr.. Murphey was man well
liked and respected by all who knew
him and his many friends extend theil
sympathy to the bereaved family ir
these their hours of sadness and dis.
tress. Funeral services were helC
