Obituary.

James Hamilton was born in Arron.
Scotland, on the 2s, day of March ls4l,
and died on Sunday Feb. 20. 1914, at
his home in Phillips county, Colorado.
On the IL, day of April 1867, he was
united in marriage with Miss Catherine
Cook, who was born on the same day
that her husband was born and with
him was baptized at the same time in
the Presbyterian church of Arron, Scott
land.
To them were born ten children six
of whom, Mrs John S. Mcdonald of
Lafayette, Mrs. Thomas Murray and
Mrs. Luke Shepard of Cripple Creek,
Mrs. William Crowner. Miss Isabelle
and John Hamilton Of this county and
their mother survive him.
He with his family came to the u.
nited States in 1881 and lived for sew
eral years near Ayr, in Adams county,
Neb. In 1886 he moved his family to
Colorado and took government heme
stead on which he was making his home
at time of death.
He was one of the early homestead
ers of our county and of course was
subjected to the hard labor and the
many hardships and diseouragements
of pioneer life in this western country.
He was of a cheerful and hopeful dis
position and during the most trying
times of pioneer life in the county, it
was always encouraging to have talk
with Uncle Jim Hamilton as he was ia
military called by those who knew him
He had wide acquaintance in our
county and had host of friends by
whom he was highly respected and by
whom he will be greatly missed.
His death was very sudden indeed and
was great shock to his many friends.
True, he had lived little more than
the three score and ten" but he was
still such an active man in looking af-
ter his business that his friends could
not realize that his age rendered life
uncertain, He had had considerable
trouble with his heart but this was not
known to many of his friends. On Sa,
urday he was in Holyoke shaking hands
in his usual hearty manner with neigh
bors ard friends and on Sunday, tn
following day he was taken with bad
attack with his heart and in few hours
passed away.
The funeral services were conducted
from the home. DR.. J.R Hill of Holyoke
preaching the sermon toa large number
of friends of the family and the body
was laid to rest in the Jarvis cemetery
a few miles from the home.

week that it did not reproduce, as q
companion article to its "Petty Poll

graced its columns during the campaign
of 1912 by means Of which it hoped to
elect democratic board Of county com
issioners. Such . companion piece
would have very materially aided its
readers in correctly interpreting its
Petty Politics" article.

Houses are curious things. We talIe
a morsel of illimitable space and wall
1t In and roof it over. Suddenly 1t
ceases to be part of Gods out Of doors
and becomes an entity with an atmos-
phere Of its own. We warm 1t with
our fires, we animate 1t with our af-
fections, we furnish ii with such things
as seem good in our eyes. We do
this to get shelter for our bodies, but
we acquire as well an instrument for
our spirits that reacts on us in its
turn.
In other words, as we live our way
into house, adapting 1t to our need,
the bricks and mortar, the paint and
plaster, cease to be inert matter and
become alive. Superficial sociologists
have taunted women with being more
anabolic or plantlike" than man, but |
count it her second glory. The plant
Is an organism that SLOWLY turns life
less into living matter" and this is the
thing that woman has done from the
beginning with her shelter. In our
houses we achieve almost an organic
extension of our very selves.-Cornelia

WHY NOT ORGANIZE

Since coming to Dallas, we have
learned that there is no G. A. R. Posi-
in this city, and We have talked tc
some of the old soldiers here who all
unite in saying that they would like
to have Post established here.
Why not get busy, it only takes ten
old soldiers or sailors and ten musty
dollars to start with, surely this can
be done.
If the soldiers and sailors of Dallas
will get together and organize a Post
then a Relief Corpse can be organized
which always is composed of the loyal
women of the community and is not
restricted as to age.
The Relief Corpse is the life of
the Post and is constantly giving
some entertainments, etc, for the
benefit of the worthy who need their
assistance, and the women always
know when and where good can be ac-
complished.
There is some talk going the rounds
now about organizing, don't let it all
be talk, talk is all right after the
organization has been completed, but
organize first and then spin your old
yarns which will be better enjoyed
If an organization is not accom-
plished in the near future it never
will, for the old soldiers are rapidly
passing.
Let some old soldier make the
start, get the petition made out, sign
it and carry it around and get it sign.
ed up, and the rest will be easy.

Big Game on Three Rivers.

OF course they promised everything.

Rock, when a wagon-load of tents
merchants, frying-pans, lawyers
shooting-irons, preachers, provisions,
urchins and fshing-tackle rumbled
down the dusty road and out of town,
headed for the Coast Range.
We crossed the beautiful William
ette Valley, dotted here and there
with fruitful orchards of apples and
prunes, and covered with large acres
of green hop yards and golden grain.
The middle of the afternoon found us
sweltering on the road near Villa
nina. We were jolting along, half
asleep, and praying for rain, when a
big cloud of dust was seen rolling
down the road from the southwest.
We wondered if runaway team was
bearing down upon us; but in a few
the cloud of dust reached
us, and with it came the sea-breeze
which quickly cooled us off and made
