Hillsboro cemetery.
The following sketch of her life was
read at the funeral
just as the day was brightest and
ere the evening shades had gathered,
surrounded by those whom she loved,
and those who with untiring love and
devotion had sought to nurse her back
to health, the close of the life of Liz.

fully.
She was the daughter of William
and Mary E. Spence, and was born
near New Petersburg. Ohio, Novem-
ber 9, 1860, died in the afternoon of
July 81, 1913, aged So years, 8 months
and % days.
On the first day of January, 1897,
she was united in marriage to Moses
Pearce, to which union were born
four children, three of whom died in
infancy, leaving one son, Clarence,
who together with his father, rela-
tives and friends are left to mourn
her loss.
All her life she has been a pure,
Christian woman and about twelve
years ago united with the Presbyter-
ian Church at New Petersburg where
she was faithful member, always a
regular attendant, there being but
few times when she was not present
at the services. She was not merely a
passive member but active and will
ingly gave her time to any task that
would work for the betterment of the
church and community.
She was true friend, an obliging
neighbor, a kind and devoted wife
and mother. Especially was she de-
voted to her home, Frightening and
cheering it by her kind words and
beautifying 1t with lovely flowers
and here she lived in her quiet,
modest and unassuming way, enjoy
ing the close companionship OF her
husband and son.
She has always enjoyed good health
until few weeks ago when disease
seized upon her body and with firm
and unrelenting grip rapidly bore her
tolthe door of.death. But during this
brief illness, although unaccustomed
to suffering, she bore it all with pa.
thence and Christian fortitude.
She is gone, but she has not lived In
vain. Her place In her home is va.

Yes, she is gone, but she is not dead :;
she has only passed beyond the shad-

We see but dimly through the mists and

Amid these earthly damps

May be heavens distant lamps.

WOman's Suffrage Notes.

The meeting of the Woman's Suf-
frage Association at the Parish House
last Thursday afternoon was given up
to planning for the "Woman's Party"
organized by Miss Peck, Of Cincinnati,
during her recent visit to Hillsboro.
Definite plans we're made for interest
ing the women of the country in the
worldwide woman's movement.
The present wofnan's suffrage move
ment is to those who look below the
surface of things only another step in
a movement that has been going on
since the middle ages. For exam nle,
one of the early councils of the church
discussed the question whether or not
women had souls. Possibly one of the
early fathers said "Woman does not
want soul. 1t is our duty to protect
the weaker sex from so great respon-
sibility."
1t is matter of recent history that
an imperial decree commanding the
unbinding of Chinese women's feet,
reused storm of protest. Many me
MORALS we're addressed to the throne.
1t is amusing to read the translation
of the grounds on which the protests
were based. They were three lst.
To unbind woman's feet would de-
stroy her charm. End. 1t would in
terfere with her maternal duties. 3rd
1t would draw her away from home.
The list of the states in which wo-
men vote are as follows Idaho, Wy
oming, Colorado, Utah, Washington,
California. Arizona, Oregon, Kansas,
Alaska Territory. Illinois has just
given an extended form of suffrage,
although ior the present it may be
classed as limited.
Miss Jane Addams, Of Hull House,
Chicago, is to make the principal ad-
dress to the women of the National
Council OF voters to meet in Washing
ton, Aug. Ii l6 This council repre-
sents 100000 women voters. The
proposed constitutional amendment,
giving nation wide votes for women,
will be discussed during this confer
ence. N. M. B.

When we cut flowers we put them
in water to keep them fresh. Like
human beings. they can exist for long
periods on water alone, as the liquid
forms considerable portion of their
bulk. The drinking capabilities Of
plants vary a great deal. and at a re-
cent scientific exhibition held at Sur
biton, England. some ingenious de
vices were shown to register the diff
ferent actions of plant life. The ap-
paratus consists of twin glass tube

into the water in the upper end of
the branch tube, and the lower end,
which is inserted in vessel filled

FOR The CHILDREN
About Queer Birds.

One of the most singular of birds
is the chanting hawk. The sexes pair
for life During incubation the male
turns musician and sings by day and
night Each strain occupies about a
minute, when he pauSeS for h'1e,
then begins again. He is so absorbed
while singing that he may be ap-
preached, though at other times ex-
ceedingly SHY.
Levailant having killed male bird,
the female searched for him on all
sides, uttering piteouS cries III an-
other case, having killed female, the
husband mounted to the tops OF the
trees and poured out a mingled strain
of lamentation and defiance.
The crowned eagle OF Brazil is said
u be the only bird that ventures to
dine on skunkS 1t devours the armH-
dillos, breaking their shells by carry
ing them high in the air and letting
them fall upon the earth,
When flying, the butfoon eagle has
the appearance of bird with the tail
cut off Its name is given from its
habit of tubing like a buffoon in the
air
The condor has been known to soar
to an elevation almost six times great

ordinarily suspended over our heads.
