A THROW BACK.

The nations Of Europe have reverted to conditions which prevailed in the early dawn of history. The civiliza- tion which 1t has taken the master minds ot the world two thousand years to build, is being swept away like chaff before the cyclones hateful brea'h. The merciful teachings of the Gentle NaZarene have been forgotten, the ad- monitions of the Golden Rule ignored. Millions of men are facing each other to murder and destroy. Billions of money will be sacrificed, and vast stretches of fruitful lands laid waste The channels of commerce have been choked, the whirring wheels of indus try are stilled. In the cities thousands of innocent and helpless babes are starving, dying, because the trains which should bring them life-giviDg milk have been com mandeered to trans port armies and their murderous tools. Out of this hideous travail a new Era is being born-its cradle-song the shriek of shell, the hum of musket ball, it's infant pap the sanguine blood that flows in crimson streams from slaughtered brothers hearts,
 It is the unspeakable crime of all the ages, the apex of brutality, the acme of savagery, the sublimation of wickedneSs, a saturnalia of the foul passions of men run wild. And all because of the rapacity of senile ruler and ihe overweening ambition of vainglorious crown prince.

--1-7-7--------------7---- MRS. MARY E. JOHNSON.

Mary E. Hughes was born in St. Francis county, Arkansas, in the neighborhood of Good Hope church, on March 18th, 1870. She was married November 9th, 1887 to MT John R. Johnson. Four children, three daughters and one son, were born Of this union of hearts and lives. Zelma Lee, who died in infancy, and Olive, now Mrs. F. J. Kyle, of this city: Lucille, now Mrs. F.. E Chinook of Memphis, Tennessee, and MT John Johnson, IT,, of this city, who with their father remain to mourn the loss of wife and mother
 Sister Johnson was a devoted wife and mother. Her home was her great est interest. There her blessed, tender influence was shed abroad as the pour ing forth of sweetest incense, for il was there she believed God had given every woman who was wife and mtho- CT the greatest sphere of activitity, and the greatest range Of real, true influence. How faithfully and lovingly she discharged her high and holy obli- gation no one but husband and child ren can fully appreciate
 Sister JohDSou was converted when only a girl fourteen years of age She united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at that time, and since then has never wavered in her Christian life. and although she was not often permitted during the later years of her life to attend the services of the sanctuary as she would have liked to do. yet her home was sanc- tuary where she was wont 10 draw near to God, and hold sweet commun- ion with the Savior she loved so we'll
 During the last few years of her life she was a sufferer from a compi- cation of diseases which finally over came her persistent and heroic fight for life, until her physical forces gave up the unequal struggle, and her grip on the slender cord of earthly l fe relaxed it's hold, and her pure spirit burst asunder the wasted bands that held it, and winged its way be- wound this vale Of tears to the may mansioned home in heaven.
 Sister Johnson is not dead. but sleeping. That is, all that was mor- tai and fleshly Of her being is sleep ing, but she herself in her real spirit ual personality is more alive today than ever before
 She has only gOhe on little in ad- vance of us, and although she can not return to us, we can go 10 where she is
 Her remains were tenderly laid 10 rest in the Hughes cemetery not far removed from the scenes Of her happy childhood. The services were con- ducted by her pastor, the Rev. F. W. Gee, and were attended by large concourse of friends and relatives, and just about the sunset hour, on Satur- day, August 18th, 1914, her tired body was tenderly consigned to it's mother earth, while her loved ones and friends turned back to the deep worn path of life to toll on, and suffer on, and wait until that glad day shall come when they too shall hear the welcome summons from on high, Well done, y "enter thou into the joy of thy Lord n

LOCAL KNIGHTS
OF PYTHTAS EN-
JOY AN OUTING
At Snow Pond, with Sail on
Lake, Green Peas, Straw
berry Shortcake, Etc.

Knights of Pythias, gay, frolicsome,
and fearless, so strong, took the 6
o'clock car for Oakland Thursday af-
ternoon and after the ride to the end
of the car line and a short sail down
Snow pond, landed at the Carl Hol-
man cottage, where one of the best
outings ever was enjoyed. Early in the
afternoon a half dozen or so of those
who are more skilled IN the culinary
arts, both by practice and natural
adapubility, under the direction of
r. B. Buzzell, prepared a supper of
boiled Penobscot river salmon. green
peas, strawberry shortcake and all the
fixings, that would have delighted the
palate of the most fastidious.
When the debris of the edibles had
been cleared away, the Knights in
true knighthood form enjoyed the
pleasure that arises from mixing with
half hundred fraters on the shores
of lake with nature and high moon
doing all they can to help things
along. 1t wasn't very early when the
tired but happy crowd started for the
city, and the return up the lake by
moonlight was no small part OF the
pleasure of the evening. Brother Ho1-
mans hospitality, the complimentary
menus by McAlary & Joseph, and the
up-and-coming committee on arrange
ments, consisting of DR.. G. B. Hat
field, E. J. Brown and J. S. Barnes.

alarm Thursday afternoon, in answer
to call from Box 214 for small fire
in the house Of Joseph Landry at AL
den and Ticonic street. The damage,
all Of which is covered by insurance,
amounts to about $3.50. Mr.. Landry has
just built a wood fire in the kitchen
stove and went into the parlor to wait
for 1t to burn up.
A neighbor rushed in few moments
later with the word that the ell was
on fire. The flames gained some little
Roadway in a short time and had
burned holes on both sides Of the roof
before they were extinguished. Two
lines of hose were laid. The chemical
wagon was not used. A greater part
of the damage was done by water
rather than by the fire itself.
