Joseph Campbell Dead.

The death of Joseph Campbell Fri
day brought sorrow to large circle
of friends in this section of the valley
He had been severe but patient suf
ferer from cancer for sometime, anc
though life to him was sweet because
of his many friends and his happy
home life, Death came as a welcome
relief from his sufferings. The fun
eral was held Sunday afternoon from
the home and was in charge of Butte
lodge, A. F. & A. NJ, nearly every
member of which attended in a body.
The services at the home were brief
just a tender, sympathetic, consol-
ing prayer by Rev. S. M. Hunter and
songs, sweetly sung by a quartet COM
posed of Mrs. Newcomer, Miss Rund-
strom, Mr.. Carnage and Mr.. Shaw
and then the body was carried to the
cemetery, followed by a procession of
neighbours nearly mile'long, and laid
to rest on the hill overlooking the
valley the departed loved so well. The
services at the grave by the Masons
were impressive, beautiful and touch
ing.
Joseph Campbell was born in Air
shire, Scotland, May 81, 1851. He
came to America in 1856. He was
located in Cedar City, Utah, for three
years, at Wales, Utah, for two years,
then at Moroni, Utah, and at Salina,

City and Stockton mining camps. He

came to Emmett September 8, 1901
He was member of Butte lodge No
81, A. F. & A. M. of Emmett. He

however, are rather tickle. They will

The recent case against Governor
Hodges of Kansas, in which Mrs. West
notoriety seeking woman of that
state, sued for damages for an alleged
insult, ended as about everybody
thought it would. 1t took jury two
minutes to return a verdict of mot
guilty" The case has stirred up a
hornets nest for the lawyers who
insist on starting cases of that kind.
Is it any wonder that the people are
beginning to laugh at the majesty of
the law and poke fun at the dignity
of the courts? The jackleg lawyers
themselves are to blame for it. The
people have ceased to look upon a
court official as superior being. In
many cases they are openly accused of
being the most ordinary clay. When
lawyers will trump up such silly,
senseless and malicious cases as that
against Governor Hodges, and judges
will permit them to be dragged thro
the courts for week, what can be
expected? No wonder the people be-
come Disguised. The records of every
district court in the country show cas-
es silly and unjust in the extreme, and
is responsible for large share of the
burdens of taxation. Senator Gore of
Oklahoma was recently banrupted in
defending himself in just such case.
1t cost him $1,000 to defend his good
name in the courts.

Wife Is Partner on Farm.

Mrs. F. w. Hatch of the Lotus Wom-
ans club of st. Louis recently read a
paper wherein, after picturing some
thing of the pioneer days and Indian
times in that locality, she told of the
wife of a small tenant farmer. who
paid nearly all OF the farm rent with
the money from eggs and chickens.
She and her husband began married
life with some small savings, their
hands and good health. Mrs. Hatch
continued: r.
HE realizes that she is an able as
sistant. She is his trusted partner
and co-worker, but when they are able
to buy a farm 1t will be his farm, aid
IL he dies the man-made laws of the
state will not give the farm to her. My
point is this That while the division
of labor and responsibilities between
the farmer and his wife might indicate

upholstered seats and rubber tires
may fascinate a small boy for a few
hours, but you'd better place your
faith in a good, old-pattern rocking
horse, with saddle and stirrups, and a
name and tail of real hair. The rock
ing horse Is not going out of fashion
by long ways, and | predict that in
the horseless age, II that time ever
comes, our children's children will be
jerking the name of wooden 'horsey'
and whipping him on his painted
TANKS, and trying to feed him crack
ers. Also, they'll be falling off his
back and humping their little fore
heads in the old-fashioned way, and
'horsey' will have to be thrashed and
locked up in the clothes closet for his
bad behavior.
And as for dolls, you've got to give
them real baby dolls and not grand
ladies in the latest tango gowns and
hats. For the last so years or so
doting parents who are well to do have
been trying the experiment of present
ing their little girls with waxen fash
ion models-only to find the precious
one crying for the rag baby of the
laundress' daughter. Children show
the real mother instinct when they
spurn the 'play-child' which is too
dressy and up to date.
Il have one friend, the father of a
large and lively family. l make him
happy every Christmas time by pre-
senting his kids with bunch Of cheap,
mechanical toys. After about half an
hour of winding them up, the little
ones tire of the clicking wonders and
return to their woolly dogs, rubber
dolls and other simple favorites. That
is when fathers fun begins. He in
sists on winding up the toys and run
ming them all Christmas day, osten-
sibly for the pleasure of his young
sters. He does not cease winding until
the toys begin to get out of order, and
then he has the additional pleasure of
| trying to repair them.
Sometimes l think that manufac-
turer could make fortune selling
toys just for grown-ups. Seeing a
bunch of adults busy working me-
chanical toys reminds me of the time
when the whole family insists on TAX
! ing little Johnny to the circus.

The Shining Face
youths Companion.)


More than seenty years ago, when
the great missionary, Adoniram Jud-
son, was -, home on a furlough, he
passed through Stonington, Conn. In
those days the Stonington line was the
principal route between New England
and New York, and the boys of the
town often played about the wharves
in the evening in the hope of catching
glimpse of some famous man. Two
trains connected with the boat-an ac-
commodation and an express.
One evening, when the accommoda
ton came in, one of the boys noticed
a man whose appearance excited his
curiosity and wonder. Never before
had he seen such light on any hu-
man face. Presently it dawned on him
that the man was the famous mission
airy whose picture he had once seen.
He ran up the street to the Baptist
minister's house to ask if it could real.
ly be he. The minister hurried back
with him. Yes, the boy was right. Bat
the minister, absorbed in conversation
with the missionary, forgot all about
the boy who had brought him the
news. The boy, silent, eager, unable
to tear himself away, stood by and
watched that wonderful face.
Many years afterwards, that boy,
Henry Clay Trumbell, became a fam
Gus minister himself, and wrote a book
of memories, in which was a chapter
entitled, What a Boy Saw in the Face
Of Adoniram Judson."
The shining face is no mystery. Cen
turtles ago the psalmist knew the sec
ret, and wrote, They loked to Him
and were radiant" 1t comes to those
whose faces are always turned toward
Him, as a flower turns toward the
light. 1t was said at the time of the
Boxer rebellion that Chinese Chris
tians could not be disguised-the light
in their faces betrayed them. The
pity of it, that every Christian may not
be known by the shining of his face.
