Tribute to Noble Woman

and enterprising woman, and in the
new country her keen intelligence
and kindly manner won the respect
of all who came in contact with her
in the brief time of her residence
there. Rock Island had been her
home almost from the first years of
her marriage in 1853. William Haw-
thorne, her husband, died in 1896.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Hawthorne
were of Virginia ancestry. coming
from Frederick county, Va, mem
bers of the old colonial settlers of
Virginia and Maryland. The family
names are familiar in the history of
Virginia, the Greens, Carriers. Tay-
lors and Hamiltons 1t was an in
nate spirit of independence that led
this brave woman to the far west in
her old age. Looking back over the
long years of residence in the beau
tiful city of Rock Island that she
loved so fondly, she realized that the
instinct of acquisitiveness does not
belong TO the southern nature, hence
the failure TO have acquired wealth
from all the opportunities offered by
over 80 years of continued residence
in a growing city like Rock Island.
Always a property owner with a COM
Portable living, necessity did not

with the intention of assisting her

been spared. and the sympathy Of
the family and friends go out to the
son and brother and his family, from
those who knew DR.. John Hawthorne
in this community from his child
hood days as a devoted son and ear
nest citizen.
Mrs. Hawthorne had spent her en-
tire time. since the death of her hus-
band. in travelling and in visiting
families of her children, and she did
not realize any sacrifice in going out
to a new country, looking forward
to it with happy anticipation. o. ".

Funeral services for Mrs. S. ]
Hawthorne were conducted by Rev.
II. w. Reed in the First Baptist
church at 1890 Saturday morning
Many old time neigh bors and friends
were present. The floral offerings
were beautiful and prOfuse. The
Elks lodge of EIdorado, Ark, pre-
sented a sheath of sweet peas and
carnations; the Masonic lodge OF
Rock Island a sheath of pink roses
Neighbors and friends brought flow
ers in the spirit of loving remem-
brance for one who had been cheer
full. pleasant companion to all. Mrs
Hawthorne numbered among her
near friends the young and old, sons
and daughters of the companions OF
her own young days, and it was a
blessed tribute TO her memory that
these kind. faithful friends follow
ed her in tender service to her last
resting place in Chippiannock. Mr..
Reed spoke on the influence that
followed from the life of the de
parted. 1t was a beautiful thought
nObly expressed. knowing Mrs.
Hawthorne for many years, the COM
forting words were fitting to the oc-
casion and appreciated by all. Mrs.
w. b. Ullemeyer, accompanied by
Miss AlwiIda Young, rendered this

The death of Mrs Sarah J. Haw-
thorne at Lusk. Wyo., May 10, was
a shock TO her many friends, and
an explanation of the cause will no
doubt be appreciated at this time.
Miss Georgia Hawthorne, grand
daughter of the deceased, acCompan-
led the body 10 Rock Island, but
did not give the particulars of the
death until after burial. Mrs. Haw-
thorne's demise was caused by
ptomaine poisoning, from eating
canned chicken. Before partaking
OF this food she was in perfect
health. In less than 10 hours poi
son proved fatal. Mrs. Hawthorne
was alone in her sons house in
town. where she insisted on remain
ing for the night, as she had come
in on matter of business, and
where they expected to call for her
the following day. Though death
came in a severe and unexpected
form. and found the mother far
from home, and even the loved son
she had followed so closely, yet it
did not rob her of the self control
and noble presence of mind that gave
TO her face in life and in death the
message Of comfort so dear to ali
who knew her.
Mrs. Hawthorne's presence in this
western country is accounted for in
the fact that last fall DR.. John Haw-
rhorne purchased a large tract of
land in Wyoming, and as his mother
expressed 4 desire TO purchase an
adjoining tract for herself. the doctor
saw no reason why she should not
do so. Mrs. Hawthorne was an able

HIS PLANS.

Say, I'll be mighty glad when it
comes June;
Dad says it will be here so doggone
soon
That he won't hardly know 1t till it's
here;
But every day till then will be a
year
To me; that's what 1 told dad, an
he said
1t might seem 80 to me, but If in
stead
OF gettin' out o. school to romp an
play
June meant that 1 would have a
note to pay.
L find that nothin' else would come
So soon,
So gallopin' along to me, as June.
You know. I'm kind O. sorry for my
dad;
When he was young, he says, they
never had
No movin' picture shows to go an
see,
An never had no automobiles he
Could get a ride in sometimes II he
knowed
A kid whose father had one, an no
With interurban cars was runnin'
then;
I'll bet he wishes he was young
again.
So he could see the picture shows
an he
Could play at marbles an go snucks
with me.
I bet he thinks I want vacation time
So can go swimmin' an can climb
Trees after birds eggs an have
kinds o. fun
That had last year when romped
an run,
An didn't think o. nothin'. but de
way
To get up some new game US kids
could play
I'm gonna git a Job an help my
dad,
An I'll bet when he knows it he'll
be glad,
shan't waste no more summers
like I did
Do you know someone wants to hire
kid? Chicago News.

Principles Of Baking.

The principles Of baking without an
over are the same. whatever article is
selected. Care must always be used
to keep the baking article well COW
cred and to prevent burning. 1t is
best to begin with the simplest things.
such as potatoes with the jackets on.
and then graduate into the more COM
plex. like pies and puddings. There is
no mystery whatever connected with
the process and no involved details
to be followed. Two things only are
to be particularly remembered: Do
not turn the gas too high. and
wherever possible. especially with
pastries. use heavy iron skillet in
addition to the hot plate. as this re-
tafns the heat with little danger of

Denver.-Denver will be little
further off the railroad map of the
country in the future, SO far as being

about by the refusal Of the Southern
Pacific, the Western Pacific and the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
railroads to handle the through cars
of the Burlington and Rock Island
entering Salt Lake or Ogden, via the
Denver & Rio Grande from Denver.
The trouble is caused by disagree

rates.
