Resolutions of Respect

At O'clock, on the eve of Aug
ust %, 1911, our dear beloved
sister, Matte Mcclure, crossed over
the dark valley of death to that
bright and better world above.
Sister Mcclure was a consistent
me mber of the Baptist church since
the year 1900 up to the time of her
death. She bore her suffering with
patience, ever awaiting the beckOn-
ing hand.
She was married to Chas. 7. Nc
Clure July goth, 1902, was admit
ted into the mysteries of the o. E..
s. in the year 1902. She was the
mother of three sweet little children,
two girls and one boy.
How brief and full of mystery is
human life. Who can fathom its
purp oses, disclose its issues? We
enter life as but yesterday, today
we perform our allotted task, and to-
morrow we go, who knows whittier.
We strain our eyes in vain to en-
deavor to scan with mortal vision
the Infinite shore, but our Heavenly
Father bids us look yet again with
triumphant faith beyond the shores
of time, and know that our dear sis
ter though lost to mortal vision, is
only waiting beyond the River, to
welcome us to our Eternal home.
Therefore, be it resolved, that in
the death of our dear sister Mcclure,
that the husband has lost a loving
and faithful wife, the children a
kind, devoted and affectionate

faithful worker, and o. Z. S. true
and honored member, ready and
willing at all times to perform what.

suing the Hoe estate for $4,000,

said his wife secured Inn position
In Hoes manufactury. Later Brown
sued Hoe for 100000 for alienation
of affections and Immediately lost his
job. This suit Brown testified was

get nearly quarter of a million
dollars from the Hoe estate he de-
manded that she promise to share
with him, and according to his story,
when she refused, he agreed to test
ify against her.

LABOR LEADERS
LAY BARE A PLOT

Los Angeles, May 15.-Local lab
or leaders are in possession of let
ter which they assert proves that
"Big Business" is back fthe prose-
cution of John and James Mcnamara
on charges of blowing up the Los
Angeles Times.
The letter tends to show that a
letter writing campaign has been
inaugurated by the Manufacturers
association, say the labor leaders.
They declare that the plan is to
have every business man in Los An
geles unfriendly to organized labor
write or telegraph state officials con-
nected with the prosecution urging
them to "stand for law and order"
and perform their duty in bringing
the guilty to Justice" These phras-
es, say the union men, are so used
as to give the officials the impress
sion that everyone belives the NC
Namaras guilty any way and to
their duty the officials must convict
them.

vented Pigs in Clover" Following
is part of the account of this re-
markable man, who died last month:
TO the present writer, who never
get the hang of single puzzle in
all his life without help, Sam Lloyd
is the most remarkable person In the
world, for he invented 10000 puz-
zles In more than half a century of
disbolical activity. He began when
he was s by soaring the cook with
ventriloquial voices in the kitchen
chimney and taking rabbits out of
the pockets of his mothers guests
in the parlor. At 10 he was a noted
chess player and Invented some chess
problems. He studied to be an en-
gineer, along with side dashes inro
painting and drawing, languages and
mathematics. But his propensity to
puzzle was too mach for him. While
still almost a youth, he invented and.
drew a puzzle in l5 minutes, printed
at first edition at a cost Of less than
SIS and ultimately made $4,000.
Who he said, would have re-

Roy SCOUTS LEARN TO TELL
WEATHER BY THE FLOWERS

When boys go camping they real
lie how much fine weather means to
them. Boy Scouts who will go into
the woods this summer will learn
many ways of forecasting the wealth
err One of the most interesting
weather barometers is the flowers.
There are many flowers that foretell
the weather and they are more re-
liable than the weather man. The
dandelion is en- excellent barometer
and is specially SO when the bloom
has seeded and is in fluffy, feath-
cry condition, in fine weather the
ball extends to the full, but when
rain threatens it tips like an UNI
brella. The clover, including the
trefoil and the shamrock, is a good
barometer. When rain is coming
the leaves shut together like the
shells of an oyster and do not open
again until fine weather is assured.
For day or two before the rain
comes the stems swell to an appre-
ciable extent and stiffen so that the
leaves are borne more upright than
usual. The leaves of the horse chest
unit tree, which are fanlike in fine
weather, droop with the coming Of
rain. The scarlet pimpernei. called

with the design of discouraging en-

through the high range Of bids Of

Washington. May 17.---In nine
great trust cases and in almost as
many smaller prosecutions pending
or planned under the Sherman anti
trust act. the government has it's
work almost doubled by the ruling
of the Supreme court in the Stand
ard Oil case. The decision of the
court that combinations in restraint
of trade in order to be illegal must
be proven unreasonable is the
stumbling block for government law
yers.
Work done by special agents for
the department Of justice, will to a
large extent have to be done over
again, and it is possible some of the
smaller cases may of necessity be
abandoned.
The unreasonable feature of
the law will be tested in the beef

trust wrote their entire demurrer
around the word unreasonable.
