Thomas.

During the early morning of
Monday, August s, 1910, the spirit
of Mrs Mary A. Thomas went back
to its maker, and the tired body
was left free from pain. For about
ten years Mrs. Thomas has been a
great sufferer.
She was born in Rails County,
March rs, 1886. Her maiden name
was Abel. She was married to
John B. Thomas who died about
twenty years ago Mrs. Thomas
was the mother of fourteen chill
dren, seven of whom are now liv-
ing, and these with three sisters
two brothers and many kindred
and friends mourn the departure of
Mrs. Thomas, altho they know she
has entered into that rest prepared
for the good.
She was faithful Catholic, a
member of the church at Brush
Creek. Funeral services we're con-
Quoted at Brush Creek church Tues
day by Father CQnley.

popularity, and the esteem in which
he was held by his fellow citizens.

force of character. When his mind
was once made up on any question
he took a firm stand, and there he
stood as immovable as the rocks of
Gibralter. There was about him no
cant or hypoCraCy. What he was,
he was, regardless of consequences,
no matter what others might say
or think. His friendship was price
less, for he was true as steel The
writer of this sketch was happy to
count him among his friends, be-
cause Of his frankness and sincere
ity.
Judge Umstattd was a good citi-
zen and in the community he was a
useful man. He was kind and char
liable to a fault. Because he sound
ed no trumpets, made no noise. and
called no attention to his doinas,
the world knew but little of his
many kind acts and charitable
deeds. If one was in need Judge
Umstattd was among the first to
respond in a substantial and practi-
cal way His last illness was long
and exceedingly painful. Being a
man of such wonderful determina-
tion he made a desperate fight for
life, but he was patient, thoughtful,
and so very considerate of his
family and loved ones. Like a wise
man he set his house in order, and
with great calmness, characteristic
of his iron will arranged his busi-
ness affairs
Early in life he united with the
| Methodist church, but at the time
of death was not connected with
the church.
At 9:10 p. m. Sunday, August Z
1910, he closed his eyes upon the
scenes of earth, at the age of 81
years, 10 months and % days
. Earlier in the day it became evident
to him that the end was near, and
he called for his family, bidding
} them each goodbye, giving to his
sons fatherly counsel, and without
fear he closed his eyes upon the
scenes of earth.
He is survived by his wife and
four children, three sons, noble,
manly young men, who will be a
constant joy and support to the
mother, one daughter, one sister
and other relatives, and hosts of
friends.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church Tuesday at 2:3O
p. m, conducted by Rev. B. D.
Weeks, his close, personal friend,
assisted by Revs. w. P. Wynn and
W. E. Reavis. A large congregation
was present, including all the coun-
ty officers. At the close of the
service in the church the remains
were escorted to St. Jude's ceme-.
terry by the Masonic fraternity of
which he was long an honored
member, and there laid to rest with
Mason honors.
Generous friend and brother,
farewell.
Love will dream and faith will
trust,
Since He who knows our need is
just,
That somehow, somewhere meet
we must"

TAX ANOMALY IN MICHIGAN.

Many Acres of Land In Marquette
County Have No Owner.
A peculiar situation with respect to
delinquent tax lands exists in Mar
uuette County, a Detroit dispatch to
the New York Herald says. There are
very large tracts which properly be-
long to the commonwealth, yet no
part of them is included in the pub
lie domain.
No lands delinquent for taxes In
this county have been formally decided
to the State since 1884. In conse-
ouence the county treasurer's office Is
numbered up with a large number OF
delinquent land descriptions, on some
of which taxes have not been paid
since 1881. All these descriptions are
offered for sale each year, but no buy
ers have been forthcoming. and not
infreQuently the total taxes now
charged against the descriptions run
into the thousands Of dollars.
There are 1000 descriptions delin-
Hquent for taxes on record In the treas
urer's Office, Of which 665 descriptions
became delinquent prior to 1905 and
could be decided to the State. These
descriptions will probably average
eighty acres each, which means that
there are in the neighborhood OF
SO, 900 acres in this county which are
properly part of the public domain,
but which, as a matter Of fact, are
not owned by the commonwealth or
anybody else. The lands will doubt
less be decided to the State in due time,
and will be put on the market, but for
the present, with the accumulation OF
unpaid taxes charged against them.

REFORM IN ORPHAN ASYLUM.

Social Barrier In Versailles (Ky.)
Institute Pulled Down.
From the beginning Mrs. Kate Van
Der Veer, head of the Cleveland Or
phan asylum at Versailles, KY, deter
mined there should be no barrier to
set her girls apart from the rest of
the community as charity children,
says Mabel Potter Daggett in the De-
lineator So she took off their uni
forms and sent them to the public
school. Versailles was aghast at first.
But she insisted: why not? My
girls are as nice and sweet as
yours!"
This month, she told me with pride,
roll that is published in the Versailles
newspaper. AS they go along to school
together you would not know Mrs. Van
Der Veers daughters" from the 9TH
ers, unless by the fact that their per-
Gales are a trife daintier and their
butterfly hair ribbons trifle fresher.
l have seen her as she critically looks
them over before starting for school.
A loving hand pushes back soft waves
Of hair and kindly eyes scan scrutin-
izingly for any small area of demarca-
ton.
"Oh, Marie" she says, you will
have to wash your neck again"
Louise, here's a button coming OH.
Hurry, dear, and you'll just about have
time to sew it on" Jennie, / believe
you'd better get fresh handkerchief"
Meanwhile she is deftly pulling out a
little starched skirt here and fitting
q hat there at a more becoming angle
for the bright face beneath. At last
they are all of In order. At the gate
they turn with a flutter of waving
hands and across the morning a carol
of fresh young voices is calling good
by. The lady on the piazza waves
back.
Then she stands with her hand shad-
ing her eyes, to watch them as far as
she can see up the street to the town.
"Arn't they just dears?" she asks, turn
ing with a smiling face. Il expect
have to be little more particular with
mine than most mothers are. Every
little while ask them, Tell me, dears,
are your dresses just as pretty as the
other girls?' And when there are
new textbooks to be bought | promptly
see to it that they have theirs on time.
I'm not going to have any one point
to them and say, Because they are
orphans / don't even like any one to
call them that. We had preacher In
this town who from the pulpit once
prayed the Lord to bless the orphans.
They never would 60 inside his church
after that, and l was glad they
wouldn't"
