Scotch, 18 years old, and her name is
Annie Mexican. The lassie's presence
was discovered three days out from
Glasgow, mad she was taken at once
before Captain Wadsworth.
She was not even a wee bit afraid,
and told her story with the uncon-
Germ Of a professional stowaway. The
first question asked by the skipper
was why she had boarded the Column
bia without a ticket. That was easily
explained. She tossed It off in a SEN
tence. She had no intention of sailing
for America.
1T was like this, ye ken," said Annie
calmly. Mrs. David Mcdowell of
Glasga and her five wee BARNS were a

Uncle Sam Has a Great Golden Hoard

is partly in the vaults of the treas
ury here in Washington, some. Of it
is in the vaults of the subtreasuries
and some of it is in the mints of Phil,
adelphia and Denver.
AS matter of fact the greater
part Of it is at the two minis named.
About 935,000,000 of the total coin
ing gold certificates.
Three years ago the government
transferred $275, 100000 in gold coin
from San Francisco to Denver. That
task was accomplished at a cost Of
$275,0O0.
Kaiser Wilhelm and the German
government have stored away a part
of the indemnity from France, which
can be used for war purposes at a
moments notice, if need be. But the
chest of Germany is small compared
with Uncle Sans hoard of gold.
Never before in the history Of the
world was there anything like it.
If all the gold coin and gold bull

ed into $40 gold pieces and laid on
the ground side by side they would
form string Of gold pieces reaching
almost half across the United States.
The string Of gold would reach from
New York to Chicago and good dis
lance beyond.
At the same time all this gold could
be housed in one room of dimensions
not very great. 1t could easily be
put into a room so feet long, 20 feet
wide and 20 feet high. This would
leave considerable space to spare.

IS ONLY LIVING Ex-SPEAkER

One OF the notable events at the
passing of the Sixty-first congress was
the retirement from active political
life of one of the countrys best
known statesmen, Gen. Joseph War
rem Keifer of Ohio, whose political
career has extended throughout many
years. General Keller holds the
unique position today of being the
only living ex-speaker of the house of
representatives. He held this i'm.
portant place in the Forty-seventh
congress, and since the death of John
G. Carlisle this honor has been his
alone.
General Keller took part in the very
first skirmishes of the Civil war, and
when General Lee laid down his arms
at Appomattox the commander of the
One Hundred and Tenth Ohio volun-
teer infantry was there to witness
that memorable event.

daughter seemed to render him un-
able to resist the ravages of his dis

Obituary.

Edith II. Roads, daughter Of E. II
and Laura j Roads, was born Sept
30, 1891, died June %, 1911, aged Is
years months and % days.
She was converted quite early In
life and for many months had planned
to unite with the Methodist church at
New Petersburg, but Ill health pre-
vented her from attending the church
services yet In her home she sought
more closely the BLESSED Christ"
On June 20 her pastor called at hel
home and admitted her into full con
nection with the church which service
greatly frightened her life.
Her faith at this time was unfa tier
ing. AS long as health would permit
Edith was very devoted worker In
the Sabbath School and "a regular at
tendant at the church services.
Her ideals of the home life were the
highest. She lived to make home
and father and sister always found a
home where she was. All people
found her companionable. Children
loved her.
On June % at little past 3Io'clock
in the morning, "The Master" called
for her and looking up into her father, S
face in whose arms she was resting,
she said, "It is my dear Savior's wish
that 1 go with Him. Papa, you and
Mary be good to one another"
Then she peacefully fell asleep. The
father and one sister only remain Of
the family Of eight children, all others
together with the mother having
crossed the Crystal Sea. Many friends
followed the faded flower to the tomb.
Edith, thy sufferings now are DER
Thou art safe on the eternal shore.
Thou canst speak TO friends on earth no
more,
For thee richer treasures are in store.
May the Christ who gave thee peace
Lead US safely till at last,
Conquests DER, afiilction past,
Battles end and sorrows cease
The funeral services were held In
the M. L. church at New Petersburg,
conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. K.
Huntington.
Her classmates carried her to her
rest In the cemetery near the Friends
church at Stringtown.
