obituary..

/ John c. Brady was born June 90.
| 1855, in Big Island township, Marion
county. Ohio, and departed this life
| December g. 1910, at the age of So
| years, five months and seven days.
He was the oldest child of Asa and
Harriet Brady, and the first out of
a family of nine children to be called
to the great beyond.
| on January 81, 1878, he was united
in marriage to Fannie c. Brady. and
to this union were born six children,
| two sons having preceded him in in
fancy to the great white throne.
Mr.. Brady was converted and uni
ted with the Presbyterian church.
which is now known as the Union
| church, February 2, 1896, through
Gods hand-servant. the Rev. ID. l..
Myers, and of which church he was
still member. and while he resided
I'm that vicinity was always ready to
| lend a helping hand. But, owing tg
| the fact of so much sickness In his
home, after moving to this city, he
felt his service was first needed in his
home, and for that reason after be-
ing kept so close at home.
| he felt somewhat timid in taxi
ing Gods work anew among so many
| strangers, but to the very end he was
always ready to lend a helping hand
in sickness or death.
Mr. Brady was member of the
Junior Order of Mechanics and man
who was held very high in that order.
and had the esteemed honor of pass
| ing through all the chairs and for
which he received several medals.
Besides the widow and four chill
dren, Mrs. Otis J.. Boyer and Mr..
Harry II. Brady of Portland, Oregon,
Miss Iscah and Master Burrel who
reside at home, also an aged mother
! and two sisters. Mrs w. A. DeLong
and Mrs. j. T.. Gilbert of this city, Mrs
Catherine Lee of Spring Arbor, Mich
| igan, and the brothers, George X,
Brady Of Piketon. A. L. Brady Of
Meeker, NJ. c. Brady of Rushylvania,
Edward Brady of LaRue and b. w
Brady of Louisville, Kentucky, be-
sides a host of relatives and friends,
to mourn the loss OF loving hus-
band, father and friend.
Sometime, If we could push ajar the
gates of life,
And stand within and all Gods
workings see.
We could interpret all this doubt and
strife,
And for each mystery find n keyl
But not today. Then be content, poor
heart,
| Gods plans like lilies pure and
| white unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut
| leaves apart;
| Time will reveal the calyxes Of gold.
And If, though patient toll, we reach
| the land
| Where tired feet, with sandals loose,
| may rest
When we shall clearly see ana uh-
derstand,
| think that we will say, "Gud
| knew best"

CLARK NOMINATED
FOR HOUSE SPEAKER
Democrats In Caucus Throw
Independent Out Of Party,

Washington, Jan. 20. Champ
Clark of Missouri was unanimously
nominated as speaker of the house of
representatives of the SiXty.second
congress at a caucus of the Demo
cratic members-elect. The action OF
the caucus insures MIR. Clark's cleo
tion when the house convenes next
December.
The caucus produced a sensation
in the form of resolution throwing
Representativc-clcct Theron Akin OF
the Twenty-fifth New York district
out of the Democratic party. The
resolution was adopted with whoop
Akin used to he a Republican, but
ran on an independent ticket in the
Twenty-ffth district against Cyrus
Durey. The Democrats indorsed him
and he was elected after hard
fight. Akin, so New York Democrats
say, has declared since the election
that he would not attend Demo
cratic caucus.
The caucus went on record in ia.
vor of taking the power Of appoint
ing house committees away from the
speaker and lodging It with the IA
majority members of the ways and
means committee.
Oscar w. Underwood OF Alabama
was nominated as chairman OF the
ways and means committee The l3

Representative Ansberry took oc-
caslon to boost Judson Harmon for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
tion. He announced speaking very
earnestly, that in the party conven-
tion of 1912 Ohio would present the
name of Harmon for first honor. The
Ohio Democrats applauded, but the
others frowned, apparently regarding
il as unseemly TO drag presidential
politics into a caucus OF this char

ABSENTEE SENATORS
WILLING TO RETURN
MayYet Help Clear West Virginia
Senatorial MuddIe.

Charleston. W. Va, Jan. 20.-There
now appears q disposition on the
part Of the Democrats in the legisla-
ture to concede to the Republicans
the presidency of the senate. Word
was received from Cincinnati that
Republican absentees would return
and help to organize the senate IL
the Democrats would give them the
presidency and agreed not to unseat
any Of their members.
A resolution was offered in the
house calling for an investigation by
the judiciary committee of the pro.
ceedings up to this time. Governor
Glasscock refuses absolutely to rec
ognize the senate claiming 1t has
not been properly organized. 1t is
because the Democrats fear that
there may be a cloud on the status
| of Watson and Chiffon. their canGi.
dates for United States senator's
that they are inclined to accept the
compromise.

CURING BAD HABITS.

She closed the door of his inner office

I was there nearly an hour, during
which time she never entered without

time our conversation was not inter-

Acting Secretary of the Navy Beekman

EVERYTHING FROM GLOVES TO
PARASOL MUST BE INITIALED

If-you desire TO be strictly up-to-
date, have an artist or an artistic
friend make your monogram into a
pretty design and apply it to all Of
your belongings.
Everything from gloves to parasols
must carry your initials, which, when
formed into a quaint and distinctive
design. give individuality and charm
to your lingerie, as well as putting 1t
into the foremost ranks of fashion.
The monogram is used in different
sizes and is carried out in hand en-
broidery in mercerized cottons on lin
gerie, stockings, gloves, parasols,
household linen. table covers. bureau
scarfs, and handkerchiefs.
The prospective bride, preparing for
her wedding in the fall, will do well
to mark the articles included in her
trousseau. The work can be done in
otherwise leisure hours on the porch.
These monograms are sometimes
quite elaborate affairs set in medal
lions, often with the family crest at
the top. Others are simply script let
tiers, run together; and some are done
in Japanese fashion, having their let
ters placed in design, one below the
other.
The girl who prefers severity of out
line uses the plain block letters for
her marking, simply varying the size
from the tiny letters on her handker-
