HAYWOOD.-On April 10. 1915, as
the afternoon shadows were falling
Ger the landscape, the sweet spirit
of Opal Jeanette Haywood plumed
eternal We are so often reminded
of the fact that death loves shin
ing mark" and again we see in this
death another example. Jeanette
was just entering the years of young
womanhood and the enjoyments of
this life, and sad it seems to see the
young fall before the reaper's sickle;
but while we do not understand, yet
we know there is an Infinite Power
Who .doeth all things well and we
yho are left to mourn her demise
know that with Jeanette all is well,
and we do not mourn as those who
nave no hope, for she had made the
preparation that all should make and
was prepared to meet her Savior,
having been converted some three
years ago. She found much pleasure
in her last illness in reading the Word
and recounting the precious promises
made to those who try to follow in
Ter presence in our midst in many
ways, as she was ever ready to assist
any way that her health would per
init. In the home will be a vacant
place which never can be filed, and
broken hearts that time alone can
3oothe but never heal We cannot
call her back, yet we may follow in
her footsteps, and little do we know
how soon we may be with her in a
glad reunion in a better world where
partings are unknown. Rev. Gordon
of Indianola held services at the
lone at noon on Monday, reading an
appropriate chapter and offering q
comforting prayer. Miss Nellie Fer.
ris with Miss Fac Mcconnell as &C.
lcompanist, sang one of Jeannette's
favorite songs. After the services
at the home large concourse of rel
atives and friends accompanied the
mortal remains to Eddyville where
interment was made. Neighborsf and
friends kindly brought their automo
biles and conveyed all who were able
to go to the funeral services, which
we're held at the Christian CHURCH. con.a
Quoted by Rev. Petit Of Abba who
gave a splendid discourse to a large
audience. Four girl friends of Jean
nette had charge of the music and
rendered a beautiful song service.
Mrs. Madge Lafferty also sang a
beautiful solo which was very com.
forting. After the church service
the remains were tenderly borne tC
the adjoining cemetery where all that
was mortal was laid to rest amid the
beautiful flowers which covered the
casket and showed the token of love
and affection of relatives and friends.
Opal Jeanette, the eldest child and
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Haywood, was born in Mahaska, coun
ty, July %, 1896, and departed this
life at her home near bussey, April
10, 1915, aged IL years, o months and
Is days. She had lived the greater
part of her young life in this vicinity
with the exception OF a while in Mis-
souri, and few years in Eddyville.
While never having good health she
never complained, but always had
smile and encouraging word for those
around her. The immediate reia.

EVOLUTION OF THE CHAIR.
Benches Without Backs Served For
Seats In the Middle Ages.

Benches Without Backs Served For
Seats In the Middle Ages.
1t seems odd to contemplate that,
with the multitude of chairs to be
found in every home these days, once
upon a time there were no chairs as
we know them in any home. In those
days benches answered the purpose
now served by chairs, and when fam
lily drew up to the table for its meals
in the middle ages they sat on long
benches, which had no support for the
backs, instead of chairs.
From long ago there were heavy
thrones on which the rulers sat, but
these throne chairs were so heavy that
they could not be easily moved. Later
the benches were given a back, and
still later the chairs as We know them
today were evolved.
1t was not until 1900 in the time Of
Charles l., that the average English
man knew OF chairs or had them in his
house, according to those who have
made a study of furniture. The first
English chairs were imported from
France, and the native cabinetmakers
and carpenters made chairs in fmita-
ton of these.
In those days the fashion in chairs
changed with the fashion Of clothes.
When full skirts were the style the
chairs became wider, so that mllady
and her skirts could be accommodated
on one chair. The difference in the
size of chairs that we have today,
made In imitation of old styles, comes
from this difference in clothes.-Lon-
don Standard.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

Paul Rolands, Mark Scholfield, H.
e. Smith and Fred Cobb, attended
the ltennis tournament at Waupaca
last week and Mr.. Cobb won three
cups, viz: The Grand View hotel,
individual and winners of singles
Cobb and Smith were in the runner
up contest, but as the latter could
not remain until the finish, it was
won by Carlton and Morrey Smith of
Neenah. Mr.. Cobb's name goes on
the challenge cup for the second time:
also Mr.. Hanson of Waupaca and
Carlton Smith of Neenah. AS it re-
quires that one win the cup three
times before he can become it's owner;
one of these three experts will, no
doubt, become its possessor next year.
Mr.. Cobb took three out of the four
sets in the finals and betting was
even that he would win three straight.
This would have been the case only
for fall in the third set, in which he
strained himself and lost, but came
out ahead in the fourth, winning the
match.
1t is settled that at the next meet
ing of the directors of the Waupaca
Tennis association, the annual event
will be state tournament instead of
a local affair, and thus become one of
the greatest of midsummer sports.

BASE BALL.

The Wausau and Grand Rapids
base ball teams came together at the
Rapids Sunday afternoon and the re-
suit was Wausau was defeated 6 to B
by the Rapids players. The Wausau
bunch and fans are not yet discour-
aged and may yet capture the pen

The game between Stevens Point
and Marshfeld Sunday was won by
Marshfeld by a score of to 2.
1t looks as if Marshfield is going to
win the pennant as it is now over 200
points ahead of Wausau, which has
second place.
There is a controversy between
Grand Rapids and Marshtield over a
game, and the officers of the league
have decided that the game must be
played over and this may make some
difference in the standings.

TAKING PICTURES.
Crosette Combination Reached Wausau
on Friday.

Last Friday night about ten or
eleven o'clock, three pretty tired men
reached Wausau by boat, having
made their way down the Wisconsin
river from its headwaters. gTheir
object was to stop at the various
towns and take moving pictures of
the many places of interest, also pic
lures which were not movies. They
had fat-bottomed boat to which is
attached an Evenrude motor, a canoe,
camera, clothing, etc. The only
mishap met with was a tip-oyer on
Grandmother in which they lost
their camera and all their clothing
excepting what they had on. They
offered 800 reward and recovered
their camera. They left Merrill early
enough, so they thought, Friday to
reach Wausau late in the afternoon,
but they had to get around Brokaw
dam and below that, found the water
SO low that they had to get out and
"hand-spike" every little while and
then they could not operate the motor.
However, they were in good spirits,
and built to take things as they come,
with smile. They were L. f. Cros-
settle, who is in charge of the work:
L. j. Ingraham, moving picture ope-
rator, and l. Fl. Ferguson, still camera
man.
They were taken in charge by J. N.
Manson and w. R. Chellis, president
and secretary of the Wausau Advance
ment association on Saturday morn
ing. They were taken to dinner at
the Wausau Club. with several
other Wausau men, and in the
afternoon driven to the Texas granite
quarry, where moving picture was
taken, and several still pictures of
various places in the city.
On Sunday they went to the
highest point on Rib hill, which is
the highest point in Wisconsin. Pic
lures of the quartz quarry and many
places were also taken, among them
the Alexander farm and stock.
One object was to get a picture of
the entire Bull family. So they have
Grandmother Bull" Grandfather
Bull" "Jenny Bull" "Big Bull"
