she had been since the 2Stb of Septem-

before she died, and when she felt better
had great courage. She was tenderly
cared for by q nurse, Lillian Douglas,
and for the last few days some Of her
relatives were constantly at her bedside.

very devoted, and 1t seemed that Mrs.
Elliott could not have her 20 home, 90

husband did everything they could fol-
her comfort and happiness. Her every
wish had been granted that lay In their
power. Her son also did everything fol-
her that he could, but her disease, which
was acute Bright's disease, was incur.

Here and There.

The fact is considered worthy of being
telegrsphed across the continent that on
Wednesday woman temporarily presid-
ed as speaker over the house of repre-
serta ives of Oregon. Furthermore, the
wires are burdened with the additional
fact that the members refrained from
smoking while she was presiding. The
Maine house does a little better than
that, even without women members. By
it's own seli-imposed rule, aided by
Speaker Bnnney's enforcement sugges'
tions, the house refrsins from smoking
entirely during the sessions.

An interesting story Is that q number
of ex- liquor dealers, disgruntled at the
present regime of strict enforcement In
this state, have conspired to keep sum.
tner travel away from Maine. To this
end they will placsrd the gatewsys Of
the state with huge signs, warning tour
lists not to como to the state where it ID
so dry that they can't get glass of beer
with their meals. Well, there are doubt
less few people who could be scared
away In that manner; but 1t certainly
won't keep away the best people, and We
don't believe Ii will keep away many Of
the beet spenders, either.

was able to get better job at something
else. Brother Shorey is certainly en-
titled to the congratulations he is re-

A COW was sold in New York state a
few days ago for $4,000, which is said to
be the highest price ever paid for COW.
No mention is made in this connection
of the fact that the proprietor of the
famous Hood farm recently refused an
offer Of S25, 900 for cow. But that was
a purely fancy price, and no one ever be-
lieved that she was worth that amount.
