Talleyrand Morris was born in
Washington county, Ohio, November
5, 1912, died at his home in High
Point township, on March IT, 1911,
aged 6S years, 4 months and IL
days.
The deceased left home when a

catur county, and was at one time a
member of the board of supervisors.
He was a man who was highly re-
spected by all who knew him, and
his death after an illness of only a
few days was a great shock to his
family and friends.
He was married to Miss Sarah ].
Stout on March 10, 1874, and to
their union were born three children,
two sons and one daughter, who with
their mother survive him, all being
at home at the time of his death.

home on Sunday, March 18th, at 2
O'clock, conducted by Elder L. M.
Kob, assisted by Elder A. L. Sears,
interment being in the High Point
cemetery, the Masonic lodge of
which he was an honored member
having charge of the last sad rites.
A very large concourse of people
were present at the funeral to pay
their last tribute of respect to their
neighbOr.

Triumph of a New Idea.

About the quantity of reading
matter furnished in the average
Sunday newspaper there is no rea-
son to omplain-unless it be on
the score of too-muchness- the
quality often leaves much to be de-
sired. The only shining and un-
qualified exception to this rule is
found in the unique Sunday Maya
zine of The Chicago Record-Herald.
There is nothing else like it in the
whole range of American journal
ism. 1t is a real magazine that is
regularly issued as part of the
Sunday paper. 1t is filled with
first-class fiction, able articles,
choice pictures and wide range of
good miscellany, all by popular or
really famous authors and artists.
When writer's such as Conan Doyle,
Anthony Hope, Rudyard Kipling,
Jack London; Sewell Ford, Cyrus
Townsend Brady, and Roy Norton
are counted among the contributors
to Sunday paper it's triumph can
no longer be doubted.
The Sunday Magazine of The
Record-Herald is far and away the
best literary treat offered to news
paper readers in the United States
today. The largest monthlies and
Independent weeklies cannot sur
pass it in quality or sustained inter-
est. You will always find one of
the finest serials of the year in it's
pages, often captured from the big
monthlies at record prices. It's
short stories, including those of the
delectable Shorty McCabe,. can't be
surpassed. 4.

Twins Have Different Birthdays.

Seeing the article in the Ledger
of recent date which told of three
boys in one family having the same
birthday anniversary, DR.. T. P. Pee
yer, of Yuba, California, sends us q
copy of his home paper, the Suffer
County Farmer, which reports a
really remarkable instance of BIRTH
day anniversary. The Farmer says:
The home of Andrew Schmidt,
near Oswalt, has two fine baby boys
who were born about midnight last
Tuesday night and the mother and
sons are getting along fine, A PEI
culiar fact in CONNECTION with this
case is that althoash the boys are
twins they each have different BIRTH
days, not only different days but
different months in the year to cell
citrate their anniversaries.
One of the little fellows was born
shortly before II o'clock on Feb
ruary 28th, and the other shortly
after IL on March LIST. 1t is a good
thing this is not leap year or one
of them would have had birthday
only once in four years. The par
ents are quite proud of the young
sters and may we'll he.-Albany Led

Samuel Lindsey.

Samuel Lindsey was born May u,
1920, in Pickway county, Ohio, and
passed away at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. w. J. Sullivan, in
Leon, Iowa, March II, 1911, at the
ripe old age Of 80 years, 10 months
and 5 days.
The deceased was the last surviv-
ing member of family of seven
children. Until 1856 he made his
home in Pickway and Fayette coun-
] ties, Ohio, THENCE he moved to
Washington county, Iowa, where he
resided two years. Then he moved
to Decatur county where he has since
resided with the exception of four
years spent in Great Bend, Kansas.
On October 80, lo45, he was united
In marriage with Eliza Tomlinson,
and to them were given seven chill
dren, two sons and five daughters,
31ve of whom are yet living Mary J.
Martin, of Leon, Iowa, Mrs. Sarah
Woodland, of Omaha, Neb., Milton
Lindsey, Mrs. Harriet Sullivan and
Wade Lindsey, of Leon, Iowa. He
leaves to mourn his departure be-
sides the five children, fourteen
grandchildren, twenty-three great
grandchildren, and large circle of
friends.
Mr.. Lindsey was citizen of Leon
for nearly fifty years. He was deputy
sheriff for number of years and
was most faithful servant in the
performance of public duty. Some
years ago he became a member of
the Methodist church and ever cher
ished in his heart the sense of divine
things. He was man of benevolent
spirit. In the days of his active life
no one was allowed to suffer within
range of his benevolent spirit and
none ever applied for shelter without
receiving from his beneflcent hand.
He was an ardent foe to intemper-
ance and no effort against it's ravages
was ever too intense for him, for he
was in sympathy with all consistent
smoveents to destroy the evil.
The funeral was held from the
Methodist church in Leon Saturday
ut $3.50 p. M, conducted by the pas
tor. Interment in the Leon cemetery.

THE COSMOS.

Bernard and Delmar, billed as the "act
that has made two continents laugh,
certainly kept up their reputation at the
Cosmos yesterday. and kept the four big
audiences in convulsions during their ap-
pearances on the boards. Bernard Is
surely a comedian, and his style is en-
tirely different from the usual eccentric,
and may only be likened to Bigelow's at
his best The act closes with bit of
pantomime that brought down the house.
Jean Irwin, a winsome singer, offered
her three songs in as many changes Of
costume. Miss Irwin puts over her songs
nicely and has a much better voice than
is usually heard in vaudeville singles" ."
Another funny act is presented by How

Woodford's Animal Circus, with Consul
H. the trained monkey, gave clever
performance. Frederick and Venita in a

the success of the bill. The latter has

AT THE LYCEUM.
"The jolly Girls"

Again the seasons wheel began a-turn-
ing at the New Lyceum yesterday. 1t
whirled about gayly. dizzily. with that
seasoned fun-maker, Matt Kennedy,
whose coming to Washington is as un-
failing as the equinox-in a concoction
denominated THE Jolly Girls" which
proved a great delight to two large audi
ences.
OF course, a burlesque show would be
nonexistent without its comedy Irish
man, and there are comparatively few
men who can give any pointers to Ken
nedy in this line Of work. Equally the
comedy Dutchman is a matter of course.
And girls, coryphees. ladies of the chorus
growing in numbers and pulchritude
every year. Lena lie Couvier and Clara
Gibson are the leading feminine men,
bers of the show and are infectious,
exuberant soubrettes.
"Alexander's Rag-Time Band" was not
among the missing. And a most pleas
ing and unexpected stroke was the bur-
lesque of "Pinafore,' with our old
friends Dick Deadeye and Little Butter
cup stalking about as Of yore.

THE GAYETY.
"The jersey Lilies.v

Ushering in the second week Of what
promises to be the most successful sea-
son Of the Gayety's career, THE Jersey
Lilies played to capacity at both per-
formances yesterday. The name of
Charlie Howard and James Cooper on
the programme contained a promise
which was amply fulfilled. Everything
had the CLINT of newness on it and all
the scenery and costumes are brilliant,
and the girls good looking and active.
OF course, the honors go to Howard,
for he is still the same funny man as
of old. In his drinking scene, he kept
the house in an uproar, and his dance
with Dorothy Hayden was the hit Of the
bill. James Cooper, as Gus Crouch -
caused considerable laughter and was a
good foil for Howard. Fannie st.
Clair made a hit in her several songs,
and played the part Of the ingenue
cleverly. Lucia Cooper was in evidence
all through the show, and was especi-
ally good in the olio. Gloria Martinez,
a good looking lady with a voice, cor
nered a large part of the generous ap-
plause Of the entertainment. The SYM
phony Quartet, composed Of Washington
boys, gave one of the most pleasing parts
of the bill, and were welcomed home in
great style. Others who contributed
were Jim Dixon, Robert Algier, Johnnie
Walker, Marty Reagan, Marty Alexis,
and Della Schall. The show is divided
into the two regular parts and an olio,
in which Cooper and Cooper were the
hits.

In addition to the divers, the other
four acts that were booked for this
week and scored so we'll yesterday will
be seen to-day and the rest of the week.
They are Johnny Eckert and his six
summer boards in Love by Wireless -
a tabloid musical comedy that is girly
and gingery and decidedly a hit. Ray
Fern is a Knockout in his singing and
talking creation. The Chiyos. Japanese
equilibrists and jugglers, are about as
classy as any performers in this line
seen in Washington. Davie and Emer-
son put across a novelty musical act
that gets the laughs.
The new photo plays, THE Wages of
War" and Simple Ike Decides to Get
Married." are exceptionally good, being
the largest pictures projected this week
in Washington.
