An Aged Citizen Gone

! An ASCu SAlaASit 5UIlE
On Sunday morning last at 7.sO
O'Clock John W Birds earthly life
of nearly four score Years came to
a close at his home on South Spruce
street.
To friends and acquaintance his
death was not unexpected. He
was not Of robust constitution, and
for two or three years had been
quite feeble. A few weeks ago he
was overtaken by some sort of
Ifainting spell or stroke from which
he never rallied but .partially, re-
naming Irrational much of the
time.
John w. Bird was a native of
this county, son of the late~David
Il. Bird. and was born in 1885. He
was twice married and is survived
by the second wife who was Miss
Annie Scott of Augusta. Of alarge
family of brothers and sisters all
are gone before except two--G A.
Bird, of Missouri, and Mrs Bette
A. Campbell of Oklahoma.
Mr.. Bird was one of the county's
few living war veterans, having en-
tered the service in 1861 Company
E 31st Va. He was wounded in
the fight On Allegheny, contracting
a case of measles before recovering
from the wound, and at one time
word came to his friends that his
wound would prove fatal. 1t did
not, however, and ne lived to an
swer the final roll-call of 70 years
of age, a half century after the
battle.
Mr.. Bird retired from farm life
some six years ago, moving from
Mill Gap to Monterey, where he
spent the evening of life in quietness
and apparent contentment.
He had been o member of the
Presbyterian church for many years.
and a long time ruling elder. As
a christian, he was faithful in his
support of the gospel and devoted
to the Masters cause; as neigh
Dor and friend he was hospltable
and kind; as a citizen, a man of
integrity and upright life. enjoying
the esteem and confidence of his
fellows.
Although one of the last of his
Immediate family, and far away
from the one brother and sister,
there was no lack of loving hands
to minister to him. and a devoted
wife, two nieces, competent nurse,
neighbors and friends were with
him during the closing days of his
life and rendered all the comfort OF
which human hands are capable.
In compliance with most natur-
al reouest-made some time ago
the burial took place from Beulah
church, where for many years he
had worshipped, the service being
conducted at IL o'clock Monday by |
his pastor, Rev. N. A. Parker.
assisted by Rev. L. L. Lowance OF
the Methodist church. 1nterment
was at Green Hill cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs. D. G. Rnckman o
Sta ,nton. on hearing of Mr. Birds
death. motored to Monterey Sun
day and brought to the stricken
home a beautiful floral tribute.

The contention that Highland is
in better shape, in spite of the
drouth, than at this time last sea-
son is doubtless true as to many
sections, and it is reassuring when
we recall that, in spite of frozen
gardens and frost bitten grass fields
there was an abundance to tide us
over a severe winter. We might
possibly convince ourselves that
the drouth, after all, is psychology
ical. but it would avail but little
unless we could get the old COWS to
thinking the same way.

Lieu tenant Trevor is assigned to look aif- ter Harry Graham. a son Of Colonel Graham. t
 Harry has just arrived from Eng land and been gazetted to the regi- ment- For a time Harry is attentive to his duties but, like so many before him. he fails in the strength of will to withstand the chipping of the older officers and the temptation of the card tables. The result is that he is unable to meet his obligations. Ire vor learns of his indebtedness and for the colone1's sake gives him money enough to pay his debts. making him promise ito be a man and refuse to play again. Nevertheless the promise soon falls through and Harry once more finds hnaiself badly in need of help. But to go further into this story would spoil it, so do mot fail to see this wonderful photopIay given in ad- dition to our regular show which con- sists of six reels of first run photo plays.

'I know I ought to begin saving money against rainy day." said sal aried man with wife and two chil- dren, ''but it's mighty hard. The best can seem to do is to squeeze out a nickel here and there, and that hardly seems worth while"
 How many more are there like that? And what do they expect the years will bring them? What of old age and what of the misfortunes that may come before age chills their blood, slows their hands and makes their steps lag gard? Their trouble is that they uns derestimate the value of the niclzsIs and the importance of making a begin ming. A nickel is a little thing, sure enough, but twenty of them make a dollar The commonest mistake, ana the worst, is to forget that despised nickels and dimes are what make dol Iars-Duluth Herald.

Actions and WorcIs.

An Italian Psychologist maintains that as an orators gestures are invoI- untary, they afford a test of his sim cerity.
 For instance, if the speaker plays with his watch chain he is on his guard and his utterances are not en- tireIy/ frank.
 Should he sway his body from side to side it is a sign of versatility and of. an active mind, while a constant repetition of the same gesture is held to indicate that his heart is in the sub- ject and that he is sincere.
 There would seem to be some incon- sisteney in this. since the orator might fiddle with his watch chain every few minutes.
 The idea recalls the remark of a wit, who said that a mans trousers were indicative of his position in life of they bag at the pockets Was the say ing. he has money. If they bag at the knees he has brains."-Nesv York Telegram.

How to Make Ernnnentx.

One of the old time delicacies in Eng land was furmante. frumenty or fur menty.
 According to the most ancient formu- la extant it was concoeted in the fol- lowing manner: HsTake clean wheat and bray it in mortar, that the hulls be all gone of. and seethe it till it burst, and take it up and let it cool; and take clean fresh broth and sweet milk of almonds or sweet milk of kline and temper it all; and take the yolks of eggs Boil it little and set it down and mess it forth with fat venison or fresh mutton
 Venison was seldom served without this accompaniment but frumenty, sweetened with sugar. was. favorite dish of itself, the ttclean broth'' being omitted when lord was to be the par taker.
 Mutton pies'' was the name given to the mince pie as early as 1896. They were also known as shred and Christ mas pies.-London Answers.
