Obituary.

James B. Gibson, son of Thomas
Gibson and Elizabeth Brown Gibson,
was born in Augusta county, Virginia,
March 10, 1882 and died near Willetts-
vile, Ohio, April q, 1910, aged 7s
years month and II days.
The deceased was one of family of
nine children, six Of whom preceded
him to the better land. His parents
emigrated to Ohio and located near
Hillsboro in 1888. They were devout
members Of the Presbyterian Church
and carefully reared their children in
that faith, this son having been a
faithful member for more than half
century.
In 1860 he married Elizabeth Reed
Hogsett, with whom he spent many
years Of happy welded life, and only
one week previous to his death, the
fiftieth anniversary of their marriage
was celebrated. The devoted wife,
three sons and one daughter are left
to mourn the loss of loving and
faithful husband and father.
He cheerfully responded to his
country's call in the Civil War. He
was a man of sterling integrity, strong
and positive convictions and lived
sincere Christian life. No eulogy is
needed for one such as he, who lived
for three quarters Of century in the
vicinity in which he died and whose
life speaks more eloQuently of good
and noble deeds, than any words may
express.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
safe on the gentle breast,
There by his love Ger shadowed,
Sweetly thy soul hall rest

To Destroy CutwOrms Around
Sweet Peas.

Make rather strong suds with
laundry soap. Pour suds along row
of peas, watch the ground closely
while the suds soak in and you will be
astonished to see how quickly the
worms will come to the surface.
Gather them into small pan of the
suds and they will soon die. Repeat
this every morning or as often as you
can and the worms will soon be de-
stroyed. Soap suds will not injure
the sweet peas. Any suds left from
the wvsh will do, providing no wash
ing compound has been used in the
water.-From Woman's Home Com

In MemOriam.

In loving remembrance of Otho NJ,
son Of Ira M. and Mary A. Gossett,
who departed this life and went to
dwell in that beautiful home beyond
on May l5, 1909
Just one year ago to-day
Since dear otbo passed away;
Under the cold and chilly sod,
But his home is now with God.
otho's gentle voice is hushed,
His warm true heart is still
And on his young and innocent brow
Is resting deaths cold chill.
His hands are resting on his breast
We kissed the lovely brow,
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no darling now.
Now our hearts are sad and lonely
For thy cares we feel no more
Thou hast crossed life's steady ocean
To dwell forever on that shore.
Dear otho's gone but not forgotten
Never shall his memory fade
Still our thoughts Will ever linger
Round the gravewhere he is laid.
Earth has lost its look OF gladness
Heaven seems to us more bright
Since the spirit Of our darling
Took It's happy homeward flight.
o, we long to cross that river
Long to rest upon that shore,
There to see and know and love him
With the Savior evermore.

NOT FEAzED BY IDENTITY
Tracewell Told Attorney General
Wickersham He Was a Fool
and Didn't Retract.

Robert j. Tracewell of Washington,
comptroller of the treasury, who Is
the only man in the government
whose decisions are not renewable by
a court of law, is a bluff Indianan,
who rarely minces words in making
himself understood. Recently he had
before him, in substantiation of a
claim against the government, an
opinion rendered by the department of
Justice saying that the claim was
good. He went up to see Attorney
General Wickersnam about it.
"Mr. Wickersham," he said, Il have
called to say that some blamed fool in
the department of justice has given
an opinion here that is all wrong, and
for which there is no precedent"
Mr.. Wickersham looked over the
opinion and smiled.
oh, see," said the attorney gen
eral, smilingly, Il am the. blamed fool
who wrote it"
Without turning a hair, Mr.. Trace
well ignored the confession and made
good his claim that the opinion was
wrong. Mr.. Wickersham thereupon
modified it in acco1 dance with Mr.
Tracewell's views and the comptroller
went back to his Office well satisfied
with his call.

HAUL LAUNDRY IN CARRIAGE
Uncle Sans Vehicle Used to Carry
the Family Wash of Federal
Officer.

AS if to fling defiance in the face
of those who are opposing the use of
government carriages for private pur-
poses, one of these carriages was seen
dashing through the streets of Wash
ington piled full of the family wash
and guarded by one Of the family
servants.
Perhaps it would be better to say
guarded by one of the negro messen-
gers of a department, who also does
duty as a family servant at the house
of an assistant secretary.
For a number of years congressman
have objected to seeing assistant Sec
retaries and bureau chiefs lordily rid
ing about town lolling back in their
carriages, which are paid for out of
the government treasury. Charlie
Lands tried to stop it by procuring
an amendment in an appropriation
bill, shutting them off, but he did not
succeed.
Then it was asserted that these car
riages are used in official business. It
has been found that government car
riages are in professions at all func-
lions. carrying the assistant secre-
taries, bureau chiefs and their wives,
and in other ways they are used in
spite of the legislative prohibition.
Senator Flint Of California thought
he would gain some information, and
introduced a resolution directing the
senate committee on appropriations to
ascertain what carriages were being
put to private use in Washington.
IF the California senator would get
on the streets early Monday morning
he would see that the family wash
gets ride in government carriages.

Nearly all the millinery worn in
own boundaries. Even the fiction of
its French origin is growing out of
favor. This does not mean that we
owe nothing to the French, but that
we could be quite independent of
them If we chose and that we have
designers in our midst who under
stand our needs and also how to de-
sign beautiful millinery, and we have
come to understand this.
These very simple. very pretty and
very American" (if one may be al

they belong to that class of hats

color called ''taupe"-an elephant

the color of the hat
There are various color combina-

trimming is so simple, it is clever
and chic looking affair which one
may wear with perfect satisfaction.

"Nemesis Of Standard Oil" Worked
Many Hours Day for His
Victory.

Frank B. Kellogg, Nemesis of

argued for two whole days verbally
before the delivery of the Sanborn de-
cision, which may eventually be the
means of breaking up the worlds
greatest trust, followed the trail of
the octopus for just three years and
five days before he had the pleasure
of hearing this decision.
During these years Mr.. Kellogg has
travelled 10000 miles collecting evil
dence for the suit, and helped material
ly pile up the expense account Of over
a million which the suit will cost the
government. So crowded was his
daily routine with Standard Oil evil
dence that he was compelled to study
documents going to and from his Of
fee in his auto and on trains.
For these BIZ years, the trust bust
er's friends in Washington say, his
only recreation has been 20 minutes of
golf per day by the watch. or 80 min

strain began to tell too much.

10 PROTECT THE EMBROIDERY
Lavender FIowered Bags Of Chiffon
Make Pretty Gifts and Have
Distinct Use.

Quite wonderful and most beautiful
are the lavender Powered bags made
as gifts and to hold the most delicate
pieces of embroidery. They are chif-
fon, white with some rambling spray
in pale lavender. The bag is shirred
into lavender-covered circular bot
tom, and at the top of it's 12-inch
height it is folded to provide material
for casing, folded over an e,nbroid-
cry hoop and sewed over it in casing
shape.
There are neither strings nor rib
bons, but after the work is put into the
opening of the bag formed by the
shirred-in hoop, the bag is twisted as
it is dropped from the hands. The
twist incloses the work as securely as
would a drawstring.
