THECOMET CAME
WAS NO COLLISION
Earth Passed Through
Tail Without a Jar.
SUN SPOTS THE ONLY SIGN
Will be Seen of Evenings for
Awhile, Then Gone for
Another IS Years.

The comet came, the comet went
and this old earth is no worse and
no better and, thus far, very little
wiser. There was no collision, as the
superstitious and the ignorant feared
and. now that the comet is headed
away from us, there will be no re-
currence of the manifestations u
terlor that were recorded from all
parts of the country and of the world.
The earth did pass through the tail
of the comet, and simultaneously
brilliant auroral displays were seen
from Williams Bay, Wis, Milwaukee
and elsewhere, but the majority Of as
tronomers were not willing to concede
that the streamcrs in the heavens were
consequent upon the presence of CO.
metic matter in our atmosphere.
Comet parties were held everywhere
lin the streets, on roof tops, in gar
dens.-but for all that WAS visible to
the naked eye, the tail OF the comet
was indeed the veriest approach to
nothing set in the midst of naught."
In fact, the phenomena of the day
light hours were far the more in
teresting. During the afternoon sun
spots were observed in varying num-
bers about the same hour from five
Western obseryatories. but the as
tronomers who recorded them were
almost unanimous in the belief that
these disturbances of the solar at
mosphere had nothing to do with the
approach of the comet and were mere
ly coincidental.
Thirty sun spots were seen from
st. Louis, Of when the largest was
estimated to be 10000 miles across;
two from San Jose, Cal, with thirteen
surrounding pores or smaller spots;
three considerably accentuated" spots
from Chicago, three connected spots
from Vallejo, Cal, and two from Port
land, Ore. None of the Eastern OBJ
servatories had anything of note TO
report either during the day or night.
At Chicago and at Williams Bay, Wis.,
where is the great Yerkes telescope,
the conditions for observation seemed
the best, and the astronomers there
were confident that the negative MS
we'll as the positive results CT their
examination would be of lasting scien-
tlfie value.
The whole performance took little
more than five hours. Observers diff
fer as to the exact time ut which the
earth began to pass through the COM
cts tail. bat the general opinion av-

Aid for the COnsumptiYe.

Kentucky has about $500 deaths an
nually from tuberculosis and it is es.
timated that there are absGt- 9;C9C
consumptives in our State to-day.
Hospital provision is made for only
about 1875 cases in the whole State
and most of these are in Jefferson
county.
The Kentucky Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, with headquarters in Louisville
is about to start an active campaign
against this White Plague in every
ton Of the State.
1t is aimed that every county shall
have adequate santoria or hospital pro-
vision to ere for Il cases of tubercu-
losls, thus preventing further infec-
ton.
It Is hoped that the people Of
Kentucky will lend this Association
every aid to make Kentucky one of
the foremost States in protecting the
health of its people. Further infor-
nation can be secured by writing to

mel, ut 215 East Walnut street, Louis

Weep not, dear friend, for Richard
AS for one who has no hope,
For those who love the Saviour
Shall never in darkness grope.
He leads them by His power
To the glorious land of light,
Where pain and sorrow never come,
In that land so pure and bright.
Dear Richard has gone to heaven;
Yes, he has gone on before,
To welcome his loved ones in glory,
When they cross to that beautiful
shore.
Dear friends, let's be like Richard,
And trust in a Saviour's love,
To take us all to heaven
To dwell with Him above.

In Cairo With the Colonel.

I'm Cairo with the Colonel" said a
Journalist, Il heard a queer yarn
about the fellaheen.
"The fellaheen are the native rural
lists. They are very poor. Well, when
the British built the Egyptian State
railway the officials were astounded
at the enormous quantities Of train
oil that disappeared.
They knew that all this oil
couldn't be used for lubrlcating pur-
poses, so they made an investigation
and found that it had become the sta
pie food of the poor fellaheen.
THE railroad detectives reported
that the fellaheen all over Egypt were
using the Egyptian State railways
train oil as their chief support. They
buttered their bread with train oil.
They fried their fish in train oil. They
made kind of suet pudding with
train oil as a base. They drank train
oil, headted, as a 'flesh-producer or
er-up.
so the railway officials mixed cas-
tor oil with the stuff, and the fell
laheen, after a years suffering and
vain effort to cclimte their systems

In Memory.

The death angel visited the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Render and took
from their midst their dear son Rich
ard. lie was born in Ohio county
near McHenry, Sept. S, 1884. Early in
life he protested faith in Christ and
became a member of theBaptist church,
but later became dissatisfied. During
series of meetings at Carrier Mills,
ILL.,, he trusted in the Lord Jesus
Christ and found peace to his soul.
He was ever satisfied afterward, and
seemed ~ never tire of talking Of
different passages of scripture. He
told several that he was not afraid to
die, that he was ready to go. The
writer has received many deeds Of
Kindness from dear Richard that
showed more plainly the kind of a
heart that dwelt in his bosom than
any words could tell, He was ever
ready to help any one that was in
trouble.
Awhile before Christmas in the
year 1908, he went to Carrier Mills,
ILL.,, and began work in the mines.
While there he became engaged to
Miss Eunice Hart, a member of one
of Carrier Mills best families. They
Wrip 80 be married the first of April
and come home and visit his people
here. All through the first of March
his people here were busy preparing
for the happy Homecoming of Rich
ard and his little bride. But alas
those happy days never came, instead
almost the saddest they ever knew,
for week or two before he was to be
married, a quantity of slate fell on
him, crushing his hips and breaking
an ankle. His parents were noti-
fled and his father went to him and
nursed him four weeks. BY that time
he could sit up and hobble about a
6ttlH on crutches, and his father
thought he was better and returned
home. In short time he grew much
worse and started home, getting so
much worse before he got there that
he WAS taken from Beaver Dam to
his home on bed. He had one bad
spell after another until the doctor
said nothing but an operation could
do him any good. On May 6, two
doctors from Louisville. DR.. Taylor,
of Beaver Dam, and DR.. Taylor, Of
Hartford, performed an operation and
found that his intestines, which had
been 50 badly bruised, had grown to-
gether in knots, but 1t was too late
to do him any good, so he passed
away May Z. at $3.50 o'clock a. m.
His remains, followed by a host Of
relatives and friends, were taken to
Goshen church. where Rev. Gardner
conducted the funeral services In a
very able manner, after which The
body Was laid to rest in the Goshen
cemetery. A FRIEND.
