Obituary.
Managers

We take the following obituary
from the Charles City Press, of Mrs
Myra AtkinstSawyer, formerly OF
this county:
Entered into res, Mrs. Myra At,
kins-Sawyer. 4:40 a. m. Dec. 81,
1915, at her home, 141 East 59th
street Seattle, after less than a
weeks illness of pneumonia. Ser
vices were conducted by Rev Car
son of the Keystone Cong church, at
; p. m, Dec. goth, 1915 followed by
cremation.
Mrs Sawyer was the daughter of
J. l.. and E. A. Atkins, formerly Of
Washington Prairie, Winneshiek Co,
Iowa, where she was born March 9Th,
1860. After losing her mother in
1871 the family moved to DEBORAH,
her girlhood being spent there, and,
in Charles City with her eldest Sis
ter, the late Mrs. B. w. Stevens.
On June 3rd, 1880 she was united
in marriage with William H. Sawyer
of DEBORAH, Iowa. Three children
were born of this union, two passing
away in infancy. Her early married
life was passed in her native state.
About 1886 the family moved to Ore
gon, then to Seattle about 1894.
She is survived by her eldest son,
Ralph of Seattle and two sisters,
Miss A. II. Atkins of Charles City,
and Mrs. Lou A. Lucas Of Seattle.
Mrs. Sawyer's life was devoted to
her home and to the comfort and
happiness of all who came to seek its
shelter. Possessed of a most gener-
Gus nature, she never hesitated to
sacrifice her own personal desires to
promote the happiness and welfare
of others.

Lots of Fun in Robin Hood

The impression prevails with
many, and especially those who have
been in the habit of patronizing the
gallery that Robin Hood is a
straight opera. This is a misunder.
standing that should not stop them
from taking in this worthy entertain
ment Robin Hood is the old style
comic opera that was popular be-
fore the days Of the musical comedy
and has lots of fun and good comedy
in it, and patrons of the Grand opera
house can rest assured that they will
not only hear some of the most beau
tiful music that has ever been COM
posed by an American, but enjoy
some of the most augh-compelling
situations that were ever introduced
into a musical play.

Not as II Sounded.

Dr. F. Osmond Carr has told a story
OF how, seeing one Of his own operas
advertised for performance at Harro-
gate while he was on visit to that
resort. he went IN to see the perform
ance. Before the curtain rose an
aged invalid was carried into the
front row OF the stalls by stRlwart at
tendants, and left there. The COM
poser was gratified to see how the In
valid led the applause after every
number. humping vigorously with the
stick With which he had been pro
vided.
During the first lntermission, how
ever. the humping was continued. and
then the secret was out. The aged
playgoer had expected to see a drama,
was disguised to find that the piece
was comic opera and had been
knocking to signal his attendants to
come and take him out.-London

Ancient Herb Gardens.

The herb garden is no new thing.
and in the centuries gone the herbal
lists were regarded as men OF consid-
cradle distinction, and were in numer-
Gus instances men of considerable
learning. as knowledge Of the sciences
was measured in those remote times.
The herbalist was bOtanlst, pharmacist
and physician, raising his own herbs
making from them his own medicines
and administering them to his own pa
tents. A number Of the gardens of
these old herbalists are historic, a few
Of them have been preserved In Eu-
rope. and in more than one instance a
great botanical garden has been de
veloped out of what was once herb
alist's garden.

EGYPTIANS FOND OF CATS

The Egyptians are the first people

are told by Herodotus of the anxiety
to save the cats when a house caught
fire, and the grief when one died. The
cat seems to have served as retriever

fishing. II seems strange that no mem
