Obituary Of Catherine Olinger.

Mrs. Catherine Leffcl Olinger was
born in Clark county, Ohio, May u,
1929, and departed this life at her
home at 8l4 Thayer street Jan. 81,
1911, at the age of 81 years, eight
months and two days. Mrs. Olinger
grew to mature life in the county
where she was born, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Leffel highly es-
teemed citizens of that community.
She was united in marriage to
Jacob Olinger in 1S47 and to them
were born seven children, one son
Charles, left home for the West 25
years ago and has never been heard
from since; hence the family mourn
his loss as one dead. The other chill
dren are; Mrs. Mollie Hamilton, of
Mt. Rose, Col, John and Ina of
Plymouth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Olinger came to Mar.
shall county in 1865 and for 46 years
have lived in and about this city.
He was a carpenter by trade and as
sisted in building a number of the
homes in Plymouth, as well as sever
al of the business blocks. One of
the latter was the Packard block,
erected thirteen years ago.
Since the husband and father died
the home had been kept by mother
son and daughter without any change
whatever. A remarkable fact in Mrs.
Olinger's life is that she has not for
thirty years been into the business
part of the city While highly es-
teemed by her neighbors, she was
very reserved, and preferrd to stay
in the home.
Besides the children, Mrs. Olinger
leaves to mourn her, Mrs. n. P.
Comstock, Mrs. S. w. Oldfather, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Leffel Of Warsaw
III. G. Leffel and Joshua Leffel of
Silver Lake all for whom were pre-
sent at the funeral service. Earl
Keesey and Chas. Russ Of South
Bend are relatives.
The funeral took place at the home
Sunday at 2:30 in the afternoon,
Rev. Yager and Rev. Zorns officiating,
Quite a number of her old friends
and neighbors, besides the relatives,
attended.

Saturdays Program
Prof. Lindley began the morning.
work by his lecture "The Education
of the Will"
He said in part "Gravitation is
the short cut name for that great
law, the relation Of one atom to an
other and compared this to the same
law or force in human life that in
dividuals exert over others the force
of individuality.
This individuality or, originality
often leads to ostracism of an in,
dividual but it is only through
originality that progress is made and
that success is only obtained by
the individual being able to adapt
himself to his new and ever chang
ing conditions of life.
He said that the present time af-
forded the greatest opportunity for
individuality or peculiar talents in
that all professions were now call
ing for great thinkers or leaders
that would bring to the world new
truths and that men of genius were
now more needed than ever.
Representative men," he said,
"are men who have an individuality
who speak our inmost thoughts hav-
ing lived in reality things we hope
for. "
The best type of the will of such
men were to be found in the early
pioneer, the hearty whaler or COM
mon sailor who through all Difficult
ties came out on top.
His most valuable thoughts were
the great value of individuality of
school children having the power as
leaders for both good and will. and
how the teachers can use such lead
ership to the advantage of the whole
school and community.
His talk was listened to with an
intense energy by a fair sized audi
ence of teachers.
The following officers were elected:
President-E. B. Rizer.
Treasurer-O. A. Greiner, re-elect-
ed
Supt. Steinebaeh is secretary by
virtue or his Office.

The Graded Union

The purpose Of the Graded Union,
which gave the first public demon

ceived many concentrations Of praise.
1t is a new. revelation in Sunday
school work and it is destined to
add an important feature to conven-

not to help prepare programs. The
township convention, however, was
fortunate in securing the members
of the union for an exemplification
Of their work. Mrs. Plugs method
of teaching the Missionary spirit to

tration of how the child, In its earlier

the missionary idea, and as the child
progresses in years it will become q

Persia's Pine Guardian.

The queen Of pipes belongs to the
shah Of Persia. Why ia the great chief.
tain Of pipes a queen? Probably be-
cause pipe is a feminine DouD in
French. The little shah's pipe was
smoked by his father before him. and
by his uncle, and by his grandfather,
and how many more Of the rulers OF
Darius kingdom we know not. The
pipe is adorned with all kinds OF pre-
cious stones and Is said to be worth
10000. 1t is constantly guarded by
q high court functionary, whose duties
allow him as much leisure as the super
Ahtendent Of the Persian arsenal, but
as there is no arsenal in Persia SO the
extent of the sinecure may be judged.
Still, this functionary is responsible.
This is how his office was created;
Once a grand vizier was found trying
to pry out a stone from the pipe with
his poniard. Then the office Of guard
ian Of the imperial pipe was created
What became Of the grand vizier is
not recorded .-London Globe.
