COOK.-Jefferson County Republic
can: Ruth Whitson was born in
Wayne county, Indiana, Dec. 81, 1886,
died at the home of her daughter,
Mary Tracy, near Brighton, March 10,
1912, aged 70 years, months, IA days.
She lived with her parents in Wayne
county, Indiana, until young woman
hood when she was united in mar
rage to James Frazier, Aug. 16, 1859
She was left a widow by his death
Aug. 13. 1890. She was again mar
ried to Elijah Cook in 1898 and again
left a widow by his death Feb Z, 1905.
BY her first marriage she became tho
mother of eleven children. eight OF
whom are living: Charles w. Frazier
of Cuba, Mrs. Anna Wilson of Des
Moines, Oliver NJ. Frazier of Econo-
my. Ind, Lindley J. Frazier of Pack
wood, Mrs. Eta Frederick of Oska-
Ioosa. Mrs. Mary Tracy of Brighton,
Anuel Frazier of North Loup, Neb..
and Mrs. Hannah Effkamp of Clinton.
The three children not living died in
infancy, one son and two daughters,
buried in Walnut cemetery. Besides
the eight children she has one broth
er. and sixteen grandchildren who
survive her. In all these years OF
care for her large family she revealed
that sympathy and self-denial and
torgiving love which characterizes
true motherhood. She always went
directly to her Father in Heaven In
earnest prayer for needed strength
and guidance. Her last illness was
accompanied with intense suffering
which gradually subsidized as the dis.
ease advanced. Through Il all she
realized that these light afflictions
which are but for moment worketh
for us far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory while We look not at
things which are seen hut al the
things which are not seen, for the
things which are seen are temporal,
but the things which are not seen ara
eternal.

Business Throughout World Dis.
playing Phenomenal Vitality
Despite Wars.
BY n. C. FORBES.

New York. March 23.-''There are a
thousand sticks of dynamite lying
around
That statement has just been made TO
me by one of Americas best known
bankers, an authority whose finger is on
the financial and business pulse, not only
of this nation, but of Europe. Temper
amentally he is an optimist. but for two
years he has been disturbed by increas-
ing unrest among the laboring classes.
Democracy is mounting the saddle;
new conditions are evolving" he de-
clared.
Business throughout the world is dis
playing phenomenal vitality. The. indus
trial crisis in Great Britain, the labor
unrest on the Continent, the foreign wars,
the threatened miners strikes at home,
the revolution in Mexico, and the tight
ness of money in several financial CEN
ters must all prove temporary.
The British colliers are not to-day quite
SO jaunty as they were when first they
came out of the pits and entered upon a
boiSterous holiday. As predicted some
time ago, the merry making gradually
began to pail, and the cables during the
week have repeatedly told US that in
many district the men were eager to re-
turn to work, regardless of settlement.
The union leaders appear to have mis-
x
From the workmen's point of view, it
were well not TO prolong the strike
for many more weeks.
The indications are that there will be
a stoppage of work during the greater
part of April, and that the settlement
will be advantageous to the workers
Meanwhile householders may make up
their minds that their coal bills will be
heavier this year. Everything points to
at least 50 cents being tackled on to the
price of every ton Of coal purchased.
With cloths costing more to manufac-
ture, coal prices advancing, and the
charges for producing other commodi-
ties rising, the outlook for those on fixed
salaries is not pleasant. How can the
cost of living come down under such
circumstances? The truth is that every
thing makes for heavier burdens.
A wholesale reduction in the tariff Is
imperative.
But do not make the mistake of imag-
lining that any action Congress may take
will prove a panacea for all our ills The
conditions Of modern life are not gov
erned by any one factor.
We are living at a pace not known to
the last generation. My own opinion is
that most of us could do something to-
ward tightening our load by paying strict
attention TO thrift, by being less ready
to follow every fiashy fashion that comes
along, by spending more time inside our
homes or out in the open air, and less
inside playhouses, restaurants, and other
costly places.
