BishOv.

LaPorte country, Ind, May Is, 1888.
She was the second in a family of
| five children, and grew to woman
hood in the same county where she
was born, and on May oath, 1855, she
was united in marriage to Horace
Bishop. They settled on farm near
the city of La Porte where four
children we're born to them: Mrs
Hattie NJ. Webster of Albee, S. D.,
Mrs. Orpha NJ. Webster of Cresco,
Nellie L. White of Cresco and Albert
Bishop of Springville, N. Y. In 1866
Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop moved to West
vile, Ind, where they had the ad-
vantage Of good school. Three
years later they started west and set
tied on some wild land four miles
west of Cresco. In the spring of
1883 they moved to the town of Cres-
co which has been their home ever
since. Mrs. Bishop was converted
and joined the Methodist church at
Door Village, Ind, in 1864. She was
received into the local church in 1871
by Joseph Riddlington who was then
pastor in charge. She leaves to

Frank of Fairmont, Minnesota.
She was a member of the Congrega-
tional church for many years and very
active in all lines of Christian effort,
in the Sabbath School, where
for many years she was in charge of !
the primary department and only gave
up the work when her strength would
not allow her any longer to continue it.
For some years past she has been a
great sufferer and yet with it all it was
3 pleasure to meet her and catch from
he. some of her cheerful spirit. She
was accomplishing and bore all with a
fortitude that was beautiful to behold.
To the very last she carried her cheer
and help to all about her.
On the Thursday preceding her falling
asleep, she walked up to the stores to
attend upon business and on Friday she
worked in her garden.
The funeral was held from the home
IF her mother on Monday, April 26th,
at 2 p. M, DR.. D. T. Robertson, her
pastor, officiating. The remains were

With the ripened gifts Of God;

Bidding summertime adieu.
Mother Nature looks her neatest
In her many -colored gown,
And the redbird sings his sweetest
When the leaves are dropping down
The squirrel and jay are scolding
When the dusky shadows dance,
Many secrets are unfolding
AS the pleasant days advance.
Thro' the mazes Of the dingles
Sounds the crystal brooklet's sons
So delightful are the jingles
Where the cattle stray along;
And If I could tell you only
What the breezes have to say,
You would not be sad and lonely
But with me would be today.
Oh, the glories of September

Like the kisses when you part;

When the air is sweetly scented

Her lips were trembling when she
got through, and he saw it. She was
going then, but he got before her and
shut the door and put his back against
1t.

She was looking up at him with the
faintest shadow Of smile lurking in
the depths Of the alluring eyes. And
her lips were no longer tremulous
when she said: "Oh. no, you don't.

turned and laughed at him again.

And with that spiteful thrust she left

CHAPTER XIV.
Mariery's Answer.

well, 1t has come at last, said
Raymer next morning, passing a now
ly opened letter of the morning de-
livery over to Griswold. 1.-The rail-
road people are taking their work
away from us. I've been looking for
that in every mail"
Griswold glanced at the letter ano
handed it back The burden was laying
heavily upon him, and his only com
ment was a questioning, "Well?'
At this, Raymer let go again.
whats the use?" he said defect
edly. We're down, and everything
we do merely prolongs the agony. do
you know that they tried to burn the
plant last night?"
mo; l hadn't heard"
They did. They had everything
fixed; a pile Of kindlings laid in the
corner back Of the machine shop an
mex and the whole thing saturated
with kerosene"
We'll, why didn't they do it?'
aueried Griswold, half-heartedly. Az
ter the heavens have fallen, no mere
terrestrial cataclysm can evoke
thrill.
That's mystery. Something hap
pened; Just what, the watchman VINO
had the machine shop beat couldnt
tell. He says there was a flash of light
bright enough to blind him, and then a
scrap Of some kind. When he got out
of the shop and around to the place
there was no one there; nothing but
the pile Of kindlings."
Grilswold took up the letter from
the railway people and read 1t again
When he faced 1t down on Raymers
desk he had closed with the conclu-
sion which had been thrusting itself
upon him since the early morning
hour when he had picked his way
among the sidewalk people to the
plant from upper Shawnee street.
You can still save yourself, Ed
ward" he said, still with the colorless
note in his voice. And he added:
You know the way"
Raymer jerked his head out Of his
desk and swung around in the pivot
chair.
See here, Griswold; the less said
about that at this stage Of the game,
the better it will be for both Of us!"
he exploded. I'm going to do as
said 1 should, but not until the fight
is settled, one way or the other!"
Griswold did not retort in kind.
"The condition has already expired
by limitation; the fight is as good as
settled now," he said. placably. I'VE
are only making hopeless bluff. We
can hold our forty or fifty tramp work
men just as long as we pay their board
over in town, and don't ask them to re-
port for work. But the day the shop
whistle is blown, four out Of every five
will vanish. We both know that"
"Then there is nothing for it but a
receivership." was Raymer's gloomy
decision.
Not without a miracle" Griswold
admitted. And the day Of miracles Is
past"
Thus the idealist, out Of depth OF
wretchedness and self-exprobratior
hitherto unplumbed. But if he could
have had even a momentary gift OF
telepathic vision he might have seen
a miracle at that moment in the pre-
liminary stage Of it's outworking.

to Cause Trouble.

Declares There Have Been Some Citl-

cling Bag for Honeymoon.

Washington, Oct u. - President
Wilson for the first time bitterly at
tackled hyphenated Americans who
sought to stir up trouble for the
United States. His attack was made
in stirring address before the
Daughters of American Revolution,
who celebrated the twenty-tifth ami
versary of the founding of their So
ciety. The presidents fiancee, Mrs.
Norman Gait, and her mother, Mrs.
Boiling, were in the audience.
Il would a great deal rather draw
pepper up my nose than incur the hos
tility and dislike Of my neighbors,'
the president said. Anything is prefer
able to ostracism. This is just the
sort of discipline should be melted out
to those within our borders who do
not think of America first.
N"Now we have come to time OF
special stress and test" the presi-
dent declared. There never was

platform than this present time.
There have been some among us who
have not thought first of America,
who have thought to use the might
of America in some matter not or
Americas originative and they have
forgotten that the first duty of a
nation is to express its principles
in the action of the family of ma
lions and not to seek aid and abet
any rival or contrary ideal.

Il would not be afraid upon the
test of America first to take census

United States, for I know that the

Preparing for Honeymoon.
That President Wilson is preparing
for an early trip-presumably his
honeymoon-became plainly apparent
when he went on a shopping tour.
during which he purchased many per-
sonal articles, travelling bag and a
small travelling trunk.
President Wilson and his bride-to-
be are considering spending their
honeymoon at Pass Christian. Miss.
Ii this plan is carried out it is be-
lieved the wedding will not take

U. S. HOLDS UP ARMS
EMBARGO PLACED ON MUNITIONS
FOR MEXICO.
Wilson Approves Recognition Of Car
ranza-viIla to Continue Fight
Against Foe.

Douglas, Ariz., Oct. IAN Impair
tial en- Fargo on shipments of arms
and ammunition into Mexico was put
into rigid effect here and was report
ed to have become operative all along
the border. Supplies consigned to
both Villa and Carranza factions were
held up. Persons and conveyances
crossing the border were searched.
Washington, Oct. 12.-Secretary
Lansing reported formally to Presi-
dent Wilson the proceedings OF last
session of the Pan-American confer
ence, which decided upon recognition
for the Carranza party as the de facto
government in Mexico. The president
gave his approval. Secretary Lansing
said the form in which recognition
would be extended or the time had
not yet been fixed.
According to a dispatch from Ell
Paso grave anxiety is felt for the well
fare of approximately 500 members
of the Mormon colonies of the Casas
Grandes district, when the news OF
the recognition of Carranza becomes
generally known in the Villa army,
modified there.
These colonists have already report
ed depredations by the villa forces,
but have refused to leave their prop
critics. although repeatedly urged to
do so by the state department.
NJ Diaz Lombardo. foreign minister
of the convention government and
Enrique c. Llorente, the Villa agent
here, in a statement said:
Our opinion is that it is very
doubtful whether the Pan-American
conferees have acted wisely in declar-
ing that the Carranzista faction is the
only one with the essentials OF recog-
milton as the de facto government, in
asmuch as that decision is based on
recent military successes which can
not be regarded as conclusive or per-
manent. The conventionist faction
has yet at its disposal powerful ele-
ments and has the advantage of pos
sessing territory within the bound
aries of which there are no Carranza
forces.
General Carranza telegraphed his
agency that Alberto Garcia Granados,
sentenced to death for completely in
the coup which resulted in the killing
of President Madero. had been eXecut-
ed Friday, after trial in which he
had every privilege of a defendant
under the law"
