Obituary.

Mrs. Erickson, Of Vega, was born
at Strangsj0, Stora Mains parish,
S0dermanland, Sweden, March Is,
1850. She was united in marriage to
<Gustaf Erickson in 1871 and emf
grated to America with her husband
and seven children in the spring Of
1888. They located at Deer Wood,
Mimi, where deceased was baptized
and united with the Baptist church
at that place, in 1898. The family
moved to Vega, Marshall county, in
1896, and there they have resided
since and been members Of the
Baptist church Of Vega for seventeen
years. Her husband and two child
rem, a son and daughter, have pre-
coded her to eternal rest. She pass
ed away calmly and peacefully, as in
sleep on June 10, 1916, aged g.
years, 3 months and 27 days. She
is mourned by eight children, a sons
and daughters), three sisters and a
brother in Sweden, 10 grand children
and two great grand children, all
living in town of Vega.
Deceased was a kind and affection
ate mother who knew we'll how to
care for her own home. She was an
upright and sincere Christian, good
member of the church and a true
|neighbor and friend. Her suffering
was long, many times very severe,
extending over period Of 10 years.
Her consolation was that she would
soon pass to the better land, where
no pain or suffering would reach her.
But she did not complain, bearing
her suffering with patience. By her
death an empty place is left in the
home,, where she was the center of
love and affection and nothing was
too good for her. Also in the hearts
of near. relatives, in the church and
in large circle of friends and neigh
bors, she will be greatly missed. OF
her it may be said that "a mother OF
Israel" has passed away. May she
rest in peace until the morn of the
resurrection.

SEARS R0EBUCK COMPANY BEGINS CAMPAIGN FOR A
 BIGGER PARACOULD TRADE
Thousand Catalogues Reach Local Office Resident Merchants, HoWeuer,
 Offer Bigger Bargains.

One thousand Sears Roebuck catalogues reached Paragoud yesterday morning and literally flooded the local postal clerks. They were distributed as rapidly as possble-for postal clerk, accustomed to receiv ing all kinds of mail, does not to have SaWbuck catalogue hanging around where parties coming into the office may see it.
 The season of year is at hand when citizens who ought to be taxed in Chicago instead of Greene county sending their paltry dollars and dimes to this big mail order house. Of course, a great many Paragould- ans received catalogues because they had to and not through choice Such people promptly feed the books to their goats in order to be of permanent destruction
 In Paragould, where the live, wde-awake merchants all advertise, it is said that Sears, Roebuck Co. get smaller percentage of business than goes to them from any other city of like size in the state Local advertising here absolutely does away with the theory that foreign catalogue houses compete with resident merchants Prices quoted in The Daily Press and Weekly Soliphone from week to week low, and sometimes far lower than prices asked by the Roebucks for goods of similar quality

New Bullet PierceS
 20 Human Bodies

New York, Oct. 25.-Army off cers who have observed the tests of the new armor piercing bullet now in progress at the Sandy Hook proving grounds, are enthusiastic over the results. The bullet is of only 80 caliber and can be fired field rifle. At a distance of 50 yards the projectile ploughed through a sheet of steel three-quar- tcrs of an inch thick and then pen ctratcd target planted behind the steel plate. It is believed that one of the now bullets could be fired through from 10 to 20 men stand ing in a row. The bullets are tip ped with a piece of steel, incased in lead, which acts as a lubricant when the bullet strikes steel and thus aids penetration. The projec- tiles which passed through targets in recent tests were but little dis tOrted.
 The great value of the bullets will be against armOred motor cars and against troops hiding in houses or behind other projections. One of ficer said that they would be of service against such instruments of war as the now famous tanks" used by the British on the Somme.

In three minutes the hall is empty of all save the walters clearing off the tables and the off cers have gone back to their duties, General Alexieff leading the band.
 His program is hardly more va ried than that of the director of a great railway system working in an office in New York or Chicago. He simply works harder, that is all He rises about o'clock, breakfasts American fashion and goes at once to his office in the staff headquar- ters building, next door to the em- peror's quarters.

Why Veins Look Blue.

It is a peculiar fact that the veins on the hand or the surface portions of the body look dark blue to the eye, whereas the blood is red. This is because we see the light reflected back to our eyes from this blood through the walls of the veins, which give it a bluish tinge.

GEN. ALEXIEFF
 SON OF PASTOR
Russian Head Of War Staff Is Self-Made Man From
 Top to Bottom.
(By Wm. Philip Simms)

Imperial Headquarters, Russian Army, Sept. 24.-(By MaiD - General Michel Alexieff, Nicholas ITs chief of staff and, next to the responsible for operations along the whole Russian front, is the son of a preacher and a self made man. He is at the top be- cause he put himself there by hard work He never had a pull. Here is story which explains Alexieff.
 When the emperor assumed com mand of the army and General Alex jeff came here to work with him, the czar and his chief of staff al ways lunched together at the czar's quarters. The imperial chamber lain, the governor of the palace, couple of aides-de de-camp, the young heir to the throne, and the cmper or's physician were always at these meals and it was seldom that sev eral important guests were not pres ent. The lunches naturally were of more or less formal nature ending up with coffee and smokes and the inevitable conversations, in all consuming about an hour and a half
 General Alexieff stood this for some days but it was apparent he was getting more and more ill at ease. Finally one day he went to the czar.
 Sire" he said, "I realize it is impossible to cut the lunch shorter. But I am losing lot of time every day Permit me to lunch with my officers, at their mess. l will be very grateful" The emperor laugh ed
 "Of course it shall be as you wish, general" he said. And from that day on the chief ate with his men.
 The officers mess is at a requisi- tion hotel about two squares dis
  is served at 1:30 D. m. Precisely at 1:2G the general appears at the door of headquarters and sets off briskly apart towards the hotel. This is a large part of his daily DOT ton of physical exercise. At 1:29I 3-4 by the clock he enters the mess hall, shakes few hands rapidly, structions and sends his despatches. By this time it is lunch hour.
 After lunch more office work. At 6 o'clock there may, or may not, be military council of himself and visiting generals from the vari- ous sectors of the firing line. But at 7:30 o'clock he has his dinner, again at the mess. After dinner he continues to work out the details of manouyering an army in theI field. He gets to bed late and with about seven hours sleep. He is good sleeper and drops off as soon as his head hits the pillow on his folding camp bed. |
 The generals hair is white around | the temples, sparse on top of his head, and gray. He is a typical Russian type, nose somewhat turn ed up, gray eyes and steely in their glitter He wears silver spectacles which loop over the ears. His white are rather long and out with tendency to turn up at the ends. On the tunic of his khaki uniform he wears only | two decorations, one being the white cross of St. George, awarded | for conspicuous bravery in action, the other the red cross of Vladimir. l
 Officers and soldiers here hold General AleXieff in great esteem, both personally and professionally.

No ship could stay on top of the water unless that part of it beneath the surface displaced as much wa ter as the ship weighed. If the vol ume of water so displaced was lighter than the ship, the latter would sink. It is principle of na- ture that lighter things pass above those of greater weight.
