Obituary---Mrs. !. @. Snare.

Laura M. Jordan Snare, daughter
of John and Francis Jordan, was
born in Stark county. Illinois. !, Mo-
vember 8. 1861. When she was
fourteen, her parents moved from the
farm to wyoming, Illinois, where she
received her education, completing
1T in the high school. Early in life
she made public profession of her
faith in Christ and became a mem
Der of the Congregational church in
which she was an active and eff
cient worker till her removal to Kan
sas when she became member Of
the Christian church. She was mar
ried to Lincoln G. Snare March 5,
1892. To them were given four
children, three of whom with her
husband and a brother and sister
are yet living. For number OF
years she has been member of the
Eastern Star. In 1910 the family
moved to Abilene from Toulon, ILL.,,
with the intent of making this their
permanent home. The family has
already become a vital part of the
citys life and the death Of Mrs. Snare
will be felt in many circles. The
funeral was held at the home; 1893
N. Buckeye, Saturday afternoon, and
was conducted by Rev. c. "A. Cole
of the Christian church. Burial was
made in the Abilene cemetery. Mrs.
Snare was all that could be said of
a mother and home-builder; de-
voted Christian; congenial and pleas
ant in her social relations; unassum-
ing and optimistic in her bearing.
and exceptionally patient in suffer-
ing. The loss is felt distinctly byl
the church and neighborhood, and
the family of children and the hus-
band will receive the more kindly |
ministration by virtue of the worth |
and spirit of the mother and wife who
has gone to the city whose builder
and maker is God.

ANT|-GUN LAW FAILS.
Trial in New York Shows 0rdi-
nance FalIacious.
Has Had No Effect on the Criminal
Element, While Law-Abidlng citl-
zens Are Left Without Means
of Protecting Themselves.

New York-One year has passed
since the Sullivan law" aimed to
prevent the carrying of concealed
weapons, became law, and, as was
predicted year ago, the law proved
an utter failure. Crooks and other
criminals continued to carry con-
cealed arms in spite of the law, which
fell heavily only upon number of
law-abiding citizens who were the pos
SCISSORS of arms for protection anc
neglected to get rid of them before
the law became effective.
In other words, the law merely had
the effect of depriving the law-abiding
citizens of their means of protection.
while the criminals, against whom
they tried to protect themselves, were
left in possession of their weapons
According to the annual report of
the coroner, just issued, there were
LOG homicides by shooting during the
last twelve months in Manhattan, only
two less than in 1910, when the high
water mark In the number of homi-
cides by shooting was reached In
eighteen of these cases the circum-
stances did not call for an arrest,
while in lightweight cases arrests
were clearly in order. AS a matter
of fact, however. arrests we're made
only in thirty-seven of the cases, leav-
ing fifty-one cases in which no ar
rests were made.
Under the Sullivan law it is Illegal
for any dealer to sell pistol or othar
dangerous weapon prescribed by the
law to any person not in possession of
license for owning and carrying
such weapons. In spite of this fact
1t is estimated that during the last
twelve months more than 5000 revolv.
ers were sold by dealers and pawn
brokers in this city in violation of the
law.
John Schrank, the man who shot
Colonel Roosevelt, admitted after his
arrest that he had bought the revolver
from which the shot was fired in q
shop on Broadway, near Canal street
in this city Another significant fea
ture is that gang fights in which PTS
tolls were used were more frequent
| during the last twelve months than
| ever before. This clearly shows that
the lawless element paid no attention
to the law and evaded the enforce
ment of 1t, while the law-abiding citi
zens suffered. just as had been pre-
dicted.

Jewels OF light. A squirrel is fioun-
dering about in the snow trying to
locate some buried nuts and a blue
jay is scolding saucily from a maple
tree hard by. And then, into the
quiet comes a man. He Is sturdy
man with a wooden cap drawn closely
over his ears and nose. There are
Sits for his eyes. On his feet are
great wooden packs with rubber shoes
and his trousers are tucked inside
the packs. His coat is very odd, to
you, consisting of a great, bright
sweater sort of garment, buckled
closely around him. On his shoulder
he carries an AK. He begins to cut
Christmas trees and the one you
have in your home is a. very pretty
one that pleases him as he hauls 1t
away to where his team awaits. With
many other trees your tree Is put on
the sled and after time, is hauled
to the depot where 1t is shipped to
your grocer.
The man who cut 1t was no doubt
lumberjack and If he is like his kind,
he lives in a log cabin with his wife
and children. In the olden days he
worked in the timber exclusively, but
now he farms during the summer on
wee farm that he is clearing of
stumps, and in the winter time he
cuts wood for the lumber companies.
And his little ones always have a
Christmas tree, for Christmas trees
are free where he lives, but probably
it is not as plentifully loaded with
gifts as yours, for which you should
be very thankful.
