home near Camp Grounds on Sunday
morning about o'clock from the eff
fects of burns received during the
night while attempting to fix her fire
in the coal stove Miss Robbins had
been quite i'll for the past three weeks,
with lagrippe. She had been cared
for by a nurse during this time, but
on Saturday felt so much improved
that she insisted on needing no care
during the night, so all retired. At
about 2 o'clock in the morning, she
felt cold and got up to stir the fire.
She opened the upper door of the coal
stove and the supposition is that when
she poked the fire, gas burst into
flame, and set her night clothing on
fire. She was so badly burned that
death resulted The deceased moved
here from Gypsum City, Kansas some
months ago, and during her stay made
a warm circle of friends throughout
the neighborhood. She was an aunt of
Newton Bushnell and of Mrs. Hake.
The body was taken to Kansas for
burial, Tuesday, accompanied by Mr..
Newton Bushnell.

Mrs. Harriet l.. BarStOM.

Our papers of January 13 gave the
sad news that Mrs. Harriet Barstow
was dead at the age of 76 years.
Through weary months of suffering
Mrs. Barstow has been attended by
the loving care of her daughter and
friends. Everything that could be done
was done. But medical skill nor con-
slant care could detain or rescue the
patient, gentle spirit; earth could not
claim her longer. After years of faith
full devotion to her family, cOnsiderate
for her neighbors, sympathetic with
her friends, her trust in her Saviour
complete, she has gone to the Beauti-
full Beyond only waiting for her loved
ones. Without a struggle she seemed
to go to sleep. Her life among us is
a bright beautiful memory forever.
To the bereaved daughter our hearts
go out in tender sympathy may God
comfort her. We who have passed
through trials deep and terrible, fully
comprehend. We have lost for a time
friend tried and true and we can
only pray that the great Comforter
may send peace to all our hearts, that
his strong arm may be sufficient to
support the darkened home filled with
his sunshine that "shineth more and
more unto the perfect day" Where we
shall again clasp hands to part no
more. Mother is gone, our thoughts
go out in sympathy and may God pity
the lonely daughter left alone, yet
HE does all things WE'LL
Not as / will.
The sound grows sweet,
Each time my lips the words repeat,
Not as / will.
The darkness feels,
More safe than light,
When this thought steals,
Like a whispered voice to calm and
bless,
All unrest and loneliness.
Not as l will.
Because the one,
Who loved us first and best has gone.
For we must all His love fulfill
Not as l will
Funeral services were held at the
home, conducted by Rev. Studebaker
of the Congregational church. The
words spoken were full Of sympathy,
and the prayer offered commencing
the bereaved one to the tender mercy
of loving Father, must bring strength
and comfort
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful A large audience assemb-
led to do honor to this most estimable
woman. She has been laid to rest till
"He cometh." A FRIEND.

SMOKING IN THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

On May 10, 1915 all boys in the APP
pleton high school were requested to
give their history as to smoking. Re
ports were given without signing
names, and care was taken to get a
full and frank report from every boy.
Out of 1877 high school boys 12S had
learned to smoke, though only Al were
smoking at the time of making the re-
port Boys had learned to smoke at
all ages from to IS, and the causes
Of starting were curiosity, teasing,
humiliation of being different from the
bunch, tobacco at home, drug and to-
baccO stores, different from others,
shacks and picnics, thought it manly
and smart. In some cases older boys
suggested and taught the habit. The
boys were asked the solutions of the
practice of smoking and gave twenty
different possible ways of roofing this
habit out OF the high school. A student
committee worked out plan based on
these findings. The plan includes the
taking of pledge to abstain from to-
bacco temporarily or permanently and
the barring from social and athletic
events in the high school in case the
pledge is refused. Also a committee
is to be reported to work with the
smokers and lead them to break the
habit
"The personal work done and the
general interest aroused in the cam
paign to eradicate the use of tobacco
has brought about very good results,
and it is hoped that the campaign will
eliminate smoking entirely and per-
manently."

WILL POWER.

The mastcrffui success Of the German army is
not alone due to the lnasterful training OF the
Germa soldier, nor il it entirely due to the mag
nifcent equipment Of the German army.
The stubborn and unrelenting WILL OWE
possessed by the average German soldier is very
largely responsible for the master stroke winch
these master armies of the kaiser have been
dealing to the aNleu armies OF france, RUSSIA
England, ct al.
The German soldier is fairly afame with an
intense desire to conquer. Where the ordinary
soldier would turn his back to his enemy and
double quick time" to the high hills and fortress
ses, the German soldier would turn his face toward
the enemy and breathe unto himself Il will to
conquer.
II is thus in every walk of life. The man or
woman who possesses an abundance OF WILL
POWER usually has to his or her credit many
victories. It is logged determination possessed
by some people that brings them, with apparent
ease, to the fountains.
This thing we call WILL POWER works, fire.
quently, slowly, but is just as certainly works un-
erringly and unfalteringly. 1t was the WILL
POWER Of a master mind that put through the
Panama canal, as it was, also, the WILL POWER
of master minds that built the Egyptian pyra-
mids.
The most convincing evidence of weakness up
on the part Of any individual is his lack of de-
termination, and determination is another word
for WILL. We frequently hear people say that
a certain mans success in life has been due to
luck.
Luck? Look about you for men and women
who have been successful in certain vacations.
After these men and women have been located,
and you have become acquainted with them, you
will admit to yourself, after having given some
thought of the varied methods employed by these
men and women in their business or professional
careers, that in most of them there is deeply i'm
bedded a WILL POWER, which alone, has been
the cause of their surmounting obstacles and their
achieveing successes.
For example, Woodrow Wilson possesses re-
markable WILL POWER.

There is entirely too much of this popular fat
alisni predominating today. 1t is true that the
trend of life, the habits of the age, and the move
ment of society look as if there were no possibility
of something different. There is a subtle con-
seriousness that, in the long run, things, condi-
lions, movements and not men and women, carry
the day. 1t is perfectly true that conditions have
great influence, that the mechanical elements have
great influence, that the mechanical elements in
modern life are strong but fundamentally the
spiritual force Of men and women and not the
physical conditions are the final powers in modern
life. 1t is not the material force but the spiritual
powers which reign.

GOOD ADVICE FOR BOTH YOUNG AND OLD

The last will of James H. Allen, of St. Louis,
brother of Private John Allen, of this State, con-
tanned the following good advice:
~ hope my children will try to live true, hum
BILE Christian lives, working to upbuild Christ's
Kingdom in their own hearts and in the hearts
of others. Rather be wronged any time than to
wrong others. Always do right, let is cost what
it may. We are never justified in doing wrong.
If others have wronged us, let us leave their pun
ishment in the hands of the Lord and Master.
Try to live every day as if it were your last day
upon earth, for some day may be your last day."
