Mrs. Chas. Leonard Dead

This community received great
shock in the sudden calling from our
midst on Saturday morning, July %,
OF Mrs. Chas. Leonard who had come
with her thirteen month old son from
he home at Judith Gap, Montana, to
visit at the o. D. Leonard home in
Boyden. Apparently in her usual
good health and without a moments
warning she was stricken with heart
failure and death was instantaneous.
A doctor was summoned at once but
it was OF no avail, as her life was ex-
tinct when he arrived. A message
was sent to he husband at Judith Gap
and on account of the distance being
so far and train connections poor the
funeral services were delayed until
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
Della L. Gosline was born in Dixon
county, Neb., on Dec. S, 1878, and at
the age of five years moved to AL
cester, S. D. Here her father, a
blacksmith, died and in 1886 she and
the rest of the family moved to
Hawarden. She received fine educa-
tion in the Hawarden schools and for
thirteen successive years she taught
school in Sioux county. Part of the
time was in the country schools near
Hawarden but the greater part was
south of Boyden. She was married to
Chas. Leonard on June 80, 1909, at
Hawarden, and she and her husband
took up their residence on claim at
Judith Gap, Montana. On July 9th
she came to Boyden with her thirteen
months old son to visit Mr.. and Mrs.
o. D. Leonard and after few short
happy weeks spent here, on Saturday
morning, July %, the grim reaper
came and in an instant she was no
more.
Mrs. Leonard was kind and duti-
full wife and affectionate mother and
was loved and respected by all who
knew her. Her death was SO sudden
that it could hardly be realized that
such severe blow had been dealt
and tho sad to think of the happy
home that has been broken and
friends and relatives that had such
noble person taken from them, never
the-less it is true.
Funeral services were held Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock in the
Presbyterian church, Rev. Jory of
Sheldon conducting the services. The
sermon was brief but his words to
the grief stricken relatives were very
consoling. Interment was made in
the Boyden cemetery. The bereaved
ones have the sympathy of the entire
community during their hours of
w.-Boyden, Iowa, Reporter.

Be optimistic. Learn to laugh.
A good laugh is better than medi-
cine. Learn how to tell a story.
A well told story is a welcome
sunbeam in a sickroom. The
world is to busy to care for your
ills and sorrows. Learn to keep
your own troubles to yourself.
Learn to stop croaking. If you
cannot see any good in this
world, keep the bad to yourself.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under pleasant smiles. No one cares
whether you have the earache,
headache or rheumatism. Don't
cry. Tears do well enough in
novels but are out of place in real
life. Learn to meet your friends
with a smile. A good humored
man or woman is always welcome
but the dyspeptic is not wanted
anywhere and is a nuisance as we'll.
Above all, give pleasure. Lose no
chance of giving pleasure. You
will pass through this world but
once. Any good thing, therefore,
that you can show to any human
being, you had better do now, do
not defer or neglect it, for you will
not pass this way again..

Wheeling is strong in the convention.
even in other ways than numerically,
and there is every reason to believe
that that city viii have the next con-
vention of the state body, in 1912.
The delegates have been busy dis
cussing legislation and organization.
The members have called upon the
members of the state legislature and
demanded that that body pass laws in
the interests of the toiling masses. The
legislature has shown the usual dis
position to thwart labor legislation
while in the senate the bill introduced
in behalf of the laboring man have
had-a hard time finding their way OUT
of committees. The delegates at the
convention, led by President W. +.

Organizers are to be sent into all Sec
tons of the state where men are en-
ployed on public works in an effort to
extend the organization. Through the
efforts of President Ben Davis, of Dis

West Virginia Legislature Nearing End

Session.
EMPLOYERS LIABILITY

Labor Bringing Every Influence to
Bear For Favorable
Legislation.

Charleston, w. ,-(Special.) -So
far, the West Virginia legislature has
been too busy to attend to business.
The session is about over and little
laws, such as employers liability,
chill dlabor, abolition of private thugs.
ETC., have been so far overlooked. We
still have hopes for the employers
law, however. 1t is not much
for it oeds not by any means assure
but it is anyhow start in the right
direction and our hopes, SO bright at
the beginning of the session, have
dwindled until we would be happy to
get only the shadow of part of one
law, instead of all the laws we wanted,
which we were so glibly promised dur
ing the campaign.
Watson-chiIton Banquet.
The coal miners of the Fairmont
field gave big banquet at the Ruffner
to the Republican and Democrat office
holders Tuesday night. The coal
miners didn't know they gave the ban
quet, but Watson paid for it, and Wat
son got the money from his coal
miners. Watson wasn't there, either:
he sent word that he didn't want to
miss session of the United States
senate. He wasn't so anxious to be
present when the ship subsidy bill was
put through, but he is very careful
just now, when there is nothing to vote
on. Chiffon represented both himself
and Watson at the feed. Governor
|Glasscock was present and the ban
quet hall was packed with people who
do not work for living.
Ne Gas Tax.
It now seems certain that the grip
of Standard Oil upon the present legis-
lature is sufficiently strong to prevent
the passage of any law taxing natural
gas production. Although the Demo
Gratis promised this, among other
things, they do not seem likely to en-
Iact it into law, and have spent their
lenergy passing law to prevent work
|ingmen who work all week, from FISH
ling on Sunday. One promise the
Democrats have carried out, however
