Loses 100000 a Year.

Bertha Krupp, the richest woman In
Germany, has one strange HOBBY
which shows her annually net loss
of 100000. She run a motel In the
little town of Essen. headquarters oil
the famous Krupp Steel Works. ana
though the patronage is small and the
rates are moderate, she insists on It's
being conducted in a fashion that
makes il the equal of the best hotels
in the country. But back of the hob
by is an element of sound business
sense that in the long run. prooabiy
makes the little hotel a big success
The sole reason for its existence is 10
cater TO the representatives of the
German and foreign governments who
have remain in Essen when the mu-
nitions OF war for their respective
countries are being manufactured
Year in, year out, the little Essen
hotel shelters under its roof the most
COSMOPOLITAN and interesting company
for it's size, that could be found any
where in the world. Officers from
Central and South American republics
from Russia, Japan and Spain fore
gather there. and though the rates
charged are little more than nominal
the patrons are entertained on scale
that is regardless Of expense and
makes them look back on Essen as
an ideal resting place from their more
active labors. Miss Krupp. as hotel
manager may be prodigal and a fail
ure, but she knows how to make
friends for the Krupp works

The lneorrlaibIe Cannon.

At Pittsburg the other day, Mr..
Cannon said in the course of a
speech:
THE idea that somebody without
legislative experience. however able
he or they may be. can turn double
somersault and In whole minute be-
come acquainted with the Legislative
history Of the country, the rules of
rhe house aid knowledge OF public
men and measures. and be perfectly
efficient. is a mistaken idea
Mr.. sCannon Is singulsrly obtuse.
For at least three years now some of
the most inexperienced men In the
nation have been trying to beat into
his head that ignorance of legislative
precedents and of the historical de-
velopment of law making is an essen
tial qualification of member of the
House of Representatives. Yet he
persists stubbornly in his ridiculous
notions and without an effort 10 re-
wise his ideas.

Mrs. Juda A. FentOn.

Another of Gods noble women
has passed away. Her work was
done, ours is the loss, but her
eternal gain. Mrs. Juda A. Fenton
died Friday, November Goth, 1909.
Her memory lives and her sweet
Christian influence shall live on
in the hearts of those whom she
influenced toward goodness. We
can say of her, "Blessed are the
dead that die in the Lord from
henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their
labors, and their works do follow
them" Rev., 14:13. She was a
true woman and a true Christian.
The pure life that she lived, the
kind words she has spoken, shall
live on and they shall reproduce
themselves in other lives, for she
was a staunch friend to her friends
and a loving and tender mother.
She was a faithful member of the
Big Creek Missionary Baptist
Church for many years. Ere the
last breath had left her she talked
to the loved ones around her and
by her words we learned that she
contemplated with Joy the. APP
preaching journey which would
lead her to the great white throne
of God, and realizing that the end
of her earthly pilgrimage was
drawing near, tears of sorrow and
Joy filed her eyes and she said,
~ want you all to rejoice with
me-" and her greatest sorrow was
that some would not try to meet
her. She was born February 9th,
1853. Interment was in the cem-
etery near Sabula, Mo-, Sunday,
November2Sth, 1909. Many friends
and relatives were present as the
last sad words were spoken DER
her bier. May the mantle of this
assembled saint fall upon the
shoulders of some one who saw
her parted from them, and with
this symbol of power lift the
world to a higher level. x.
