MRS EITsTACE LECCETT.

Mrs. Eustace Leggett, who resided
just south of the Chesterfield town
house passed away Tuesday morning
December 21. The funeral was held
on Friday the oath at Inlet church;
she was laid to rest in the beautiful
Oak Grove cemetery at Morenci.
Mrs. Leggett was one of the widest
known and best beloved women in
Chesterfield township and her pass
ing away will be universally regret
ted by host of relatives and friends.
Probably no other woman had more
friends than this kindly sociable lady
whose life was most exemplary and
whose faithful loving disposition won
for her friends by the legion. She
had been in failing health for the last
five years and the last few weeks it
was evident the end was near. Every
thing that doctors skill and tender
care could suggest were done but of
no avail and as the sun came over the
tree tops she passed into the great be-
yond. While we cannot see, beyond
the veil we feel that all is well with
mother.
Ann Mariah Fulton was born June
18th, 1848 in Mansfield, Ohio and
about the year 1854 she came with
her parents p. v. and Martha Downs
Fulton to Pioneer, Williams County,
10th, 1866. She was married to Eu-
STAGE Leggett and came with him to
Chesterfield, Ohio, where she has re-
sided up to the time of her death.
In the Winter of sixty-five and six
ty-six she Joined the Methodist church
at Pioneer. Ohio, in 1875 there be-
ing no Methodist class nearer than
Morenci, Michigan, Mrs. Leggett
united with the Disciples at East
Chesterfield church which she attend
ed until failing health revented regu-
lar attendance. She always kept her
faith and quietly fell asleep.
She leaves to mourn their loss, a

As forest leaves when winds are rife
Are floating on the river,
So friends up on the stream of life
Must part though not forever.
We see the stars of hope arise
From Summer seas of blue,
And see them blotted from our skies
As sunbeams Danish dew.
And though we look through mists Of
tears,
Fond hope this comfort brings,
Faith sees the stars and love still
hears,
The beat of Angels wings.
And though we weep this truth is ours
Best boon to mourner's given,
That she who faded with the flowers
Will bloom again in Heaven.

SILLY CRIMINAL LAWS.

Perhaps no phenomenon of modern
life is more marked than the prevail
ent mania for penal regulation of
the petty details of conduct. There
seems to be no human action that
somebody does not want to prohibit.
With the Incorporate exponents of
temperance we have become familiar;
the cohorts of Cotton Mather have
reincarnated in Sunday observance in
Sunday observance leagues. But
around these central figures of sump-
tuary legislation circles a host of
minor meddlers. Prohibitions under
penalty of fine and Imprisonment of
than statutory length, and of the
use of cracked china in like institu-
tions are but samples of the absurd
tiles that have already found their
way on the statute books. And the
craze grows apace. Among the bills
reported as introduced in various as
semblies are those prohibiting the
exhibition by any merchant of clock
which is too fast or too slow, and of
the use of face lotions by any woman
under 40 years of age. A recent bill
makes it a penitentiary offense for q
man to put his feet on his desk while
debating to a woman stenographer
And it is rather more than a joke
Thoughtful people complain of the
growing disrespect of law. Who coulc
avoid disrespect for such laws, anc
how few can or will discriminate be-
tween wise laws and foolish wher
both are of equal authority? Ant
the mischief does not stop there. Will
the multiplication of trivial crimes in
volving no moral turpitude arrest!
inevitably increase. 1t is said by al
Investigator of repute that of thu
125,000 people arrested in Chicago il
1914, over half were charged will
committing crimes which were un
known in 1894. Now every unneces
sary arrest is an unmixed evil. Ever,
time that reputable man or boy i
arrested, hailed through the street
and thrust into a police station cell
his self-respect suffers an injury tina
makes him worse citizen. Will tn
refined woman who is treated as
common criminal, as in one state sh
, may be, because her hatpin project
more than half an inch beyond tn
crown of her hat, ever recover from
the shame of it? 1t is about tim
the robust common sense of tn
! American people put summary stol
! to this "verboten" nonsense.-Lay

WAR UPON PAIN.

Pain is visitor to every home and
usually it comes unexpectedly. But
you are prepared for every emergency
if you keep a small bottle of Sloan's
Liniment handy. It is the greatest
pain killer ever discovered. Simply
laid on the skin-no rubbing requir-
edit drives the pain away. It is
I really wonderful.
Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, Cal
writes: '"Last Saturday, after tramp
ing around the Panama Exposition
with wet feet, I came home with my
neck so stiff that / couldn't turn. ]
applied Sloan's Liniment freely and
went to bed. To my surprise, next
morning the stiffness had almost dis
appeared, four hours after the second
application | was as good as new"

Clerk of Courts, Davis B. johnson
has just issued the "Bar Docket" for
the January term. to the court Of
ficials, members of the Bar and At
torneys who have cases in this court
A glance at this issue of the bar
docket is sufficient to convince that
under the new system of a resident
judge for each county the business
of the court is expedited and not
much litigation is left to drag along
term after term, unfinished. Former
issues of the Bar Docket contained
from twenty-five to thirty-two pages
of cases, the present Bar Docket con-
tains exactly thirteen pages that
are devoted to cases and three OF
these pages are blank for the con-
venience of entering new cases as
they may come into court.
The resident Judge is on duty prac-
tically all the time and necessary
legal procedure is not kept waiting
because the court is not at hand tc
attend to it; the result is that litigants
are saved time annoyance and ex
penses and the taxpayers are saved
money.

PACIFICATION OF HAITI.

By the capture and destruction of
Fort Riviere, an old stone structure
held by superstitious Haitians as i'm
pregnable and favored of the revol-
utionary gods, the rebellious Cacos
of northern Haiti were crushed, and
the pacifcation work of the United
States Marine Corps in that section
of the turbulent little island was
finished. Not an American Marine
was injured in the dangerous under
taking, according to the official re-
ports just received at headquarters of
the Marine Corps.
Fort Riviere was built by the
French when Haiti was a colonial
possession of that country and has
been the headquarters of the Caco
bandits for years. 1t has always
been hotbed of revolution, and
Marine Corps officers realized that il
would have to be captured and de.
stroyed before lasting peace coulo
come to that section.
Major Smedley Darlington Butler
led the expedition against Riviere
and to the 5th Company, under Cap
tain William W.. Low, was assigned
the task of making the main or front
al attack. This company delayed a
a distance of about 1900 yards from
the fort and advanced upon it in ex
tended order. The Caco fire was con
tinuous but the aim of the attacking
party of Marines was so deadly tina
they were enabled in a very shor
time to get into position from which
the fort could be stormed. Witt
characteristic dash they were upol
the works, and although the Caco
stuck to their guns until the Marine
had actually entered the fort, the,
were unable to infict single casualt,
in the ranks of the sea soldiers.
Major Butler then ordered the for
dynamited and when the last stone
of the old structure were destroyed
the revolutionary hopes and ambition
of the north Haiti Cacos were burie,
beneath the ruins of Riviere.
