Obituary.

Z Last Saturday the remains of Mr.
Nels August Johnson, a well known
farmer, near this city, we're con-
signed to their last resting place, the
grave. It was very cold day, and
the snow was drifting so as to make
travelling inconvenient. Very few
people for that reason could come to
the house Of the deceased, but in the.
church large number had gathered.
The Swedish Lutheran church was
draped in black and white, and the
decorations with flowers Of many
kinds were beautiful Rev. F. N.
Anderson preached in both Swedish
and English to large audience.
The pallbearers were Ed. Rosen-
dahl, L. M. Olson, Aug. Lundgren,
Fred johnson, j. P. Mattson and
John Westman. Miss Ella Lundgren
played the funeral march and the
church choir sang two very appro-
pirate. songs.
The deceased was born Dec. 13,
1856 in Hellersmala, M0rlunda sock
en-, Kalmar San, Sweden, and died at
Warren, Mimi, on the 28th day of
December, 1916, at the age Of 81
years and Is days. He came from
Sweden to Varna, ILL.,, in 1882, mov-
ing afterward to Wenona and later
to To}uia, in same state. He came
from Illinois to Warren, March 6,
1913. Mr.. johnson has always been
a member Of the Swedish Lutheran
church and has been member of
the congregation in Warren since
the time of his arrival here. He
was married to Emelia Sofia Hylin
from 1890 to the time of his death.
He is mourned by a beloved wife
and six children, four boys and. two
girls, namely, Herbert Leroy, Ernest,
Clark, Paul, Edith and Maurine. He
is also mourned by two sisters, Mrs.
John Hylin, Magnolia, ILL.,, and one
sister in Sweden and by one brother,
Otto johnson of Wenona, Ill.
Mr.. Johnson was skillful and
ouSSCoo4u1 1dIllCI.~+ he udS maze
many improvements on his splendid
farm near this town. Everything
was going fine, and JOY and bliss
beamed in their home, until the
grim reaper, self-invited, sneaked
over the threshold and laid his cold
hand on the head Of the family.
Mr.. Johnson was taken to the
Warren hospital last summer and
there went through several opera
tions. Under the care Of. the skill
full doctors at the hospital, he soon
began to recover, and NOT till late in
the autumn was it known that he
had an incurable disease.
Like every other mortal, Mr.. Johu-
son desired to live to see his child
rem grow up, yet, he was willing Is
abide by the will of God in every
thing.

to die is gain" Phil. 1:21.

Friend Mattson- Being in arrears
to your paper for about a year,
herewith send you payment for same
to date, or $1.50. A number of
items and articles in the Sheaf still
interest us, tho being away from the
North Star state for nearly eight
years, you will understand that such
interest must needs have waned
somewhat.
Family and myself are, with the
exception of cold, which is epidem-
ic, contracted by some of the mem
bers, all well. The weather is pleas
ant, as rule, but on Christmas day
it was stormy, and a number of
nights are cold this winter.
Living nearly one hundred miles
from the Mexican border, we have
had no disturbance so far, and really
don't expect any. A number Of
Spanish Americans live in the towns
most of them U. S. citizens and
good, law-abiding people. There is
some race bias Of course, but it is
confined almost entirely to social in
tercourse. 20
Hoping you are we'll and that the
new year and succeeding ones will
have all the best things in store fol
you and yours.
remain,

"A SAINT FOR THE WEEK,
ST. JOSEPH OF LEoNlsSA.

Joseph was born in the States of the
Church, A. d. 1856. His parents dying
early, he was placed in the charge of
an uncle, who, after a time, proposed
to him most honorable marriage.
But Joseph had resolved to live al
ways virgin, and fleeing to Assist,
became Capuchin. His obedience
was perfect; he received commands
bareheaded and on his knees. He was
always recommending himself to the
prayers of others, and in spite of per-
petual penance was never downcast or
sad. His superiors, seeing his great
love for souls, sent him to Turkey to
preach to the Christian galley-slaves.
Crucifix in hand, he taught the poor
captives to unite their sufferings with
those of their Lord, and by his pa
thence and gentleness gained many a
hardened soul. With the same saving
image he consoled the Turks, struck
down by a devouring plague, and con-
verified numbers to the Faith. For this
he was tried, imprisoned, and at last
hung on a gibbet by one hand and one
foot, but the sentence was changed to
exile before the crown was won. He

place, preaching, visiting the prisons,
and founding hospitals for the sick.
A long and secret martyrdom, from a
most painful cancer, at length CON-
pleted, in 1912, the unfinished sacrifice
After death the wounds and scars dis

a most sweet fragrance.
st. Joseph had most tender devo-
ton to the image of Jesus crucifed.
He never preached without crucifix
in his hand, and often spent entire
nights before it. Towards the end OF
his life, when about to suffer the oper-
alton for the removal of his cancer,
the bystanders wished him to be
bound. But he fixed his eyes upon the
cross, and said, This is the strong
est band, this will keep me still bet
ter than any cords could do" and so,
gazing on Jesus crucifed, and saying
over and over again, Holy Mary, pray
for us, miserable afflicted sinners" he
bore the pain without a murmur.

my whole heart, my whole mind. nv
whole soul This and naught else is
the Catholic act of faith.
With Faith There Must be the Works
of Faith.
Blest, Beloved Brethren, are we
whose teacher is the Church, founded
by Christ. The truths of Christ's
revelation are within our reach to
illumine our minds, as are, also. the
graces of His Redemption to purify
and strengthen our hearts. But blest
far more are we when those gifts of
divine love are so received, that they
permeate to the deep fibres of mind
and heart, making our manner of life
the very mirror of the life of Christ,
like unto His own in cleanliness from
sin, in radiance of divine beauty. 1t
is much to be disciples of the Church
of Christ. Yet this of itself is vain
and without effect in the great task
of our salvation. The name of Cath
Ole, the profession Of Christ's faith,
is not the all-sufficient pledge of our
salvation: with faith there must be
the realization of our faith in our
every thought, word and deed: mot
every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven; but he that doth the will
of my Father who is in Heaven, he
shall enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven" 1t is much to accept the
truths taught by the Church: it is
much to be of the sheep of His fold,
of the citizens of the society founded

by Him. But the commandments also
there are, making for the upbuilding
of the soul into Christ's superna1 life,
towards which all else is only means
towards the end. The commandments
must be loyalty kept, if we are to be
truly the disciples of the Son of God !:
'But if thou wilt enter into life, keep
the commandments. Yea, on the last
day double guilt will be charged to
those who knew and did not practice,
who were children of the Church and
did not keep the commandments.
They will have sinned without the
excuse of ignorance: they will have
of the graces of which the Church is
the guardian and the dispenser.
Beloved Brethren, let us rejoice
that we are Catholics, honoring the
Church by the goodness of our life,
saving our souls by our plenary obedi-
ence to the reign of Christ, our teach
er, and redeemer, making sure beyond
all peril, that children of the Church
of Christ, militant on earth, we one
day be the children of the Church of
Christ, triumphant in Heaven.

eral churches of the Diocese on the

WINS
MUCH APPLUSE
Same High Standard Being
Maintained By Navar-
rete Opera COMPANY.

Notes smoothly flowing, liquid. rich
and mellow-such was the impression
one received from hearing Emilia
Leovalli as Violetta in Traviata at
the Texas Grand theater Friday night.
Traviata was heard by the same lit
tie band of music misers who have
been gloating nightly for more than
a week over the voices Of Navarrete,
Leovalli. and other members Of the
Navarrete troupe.
LeovallFs voice is perfectly suited
to such part as that Of Violetta She
is dramatic, but never rants or
screams. Her poise and intelligent re-
serve are worthy of more than pass
ing comment. A shrug, a flash OF the
eye, the flirt of a fan-inro these
LeovalH can place a meaning that
words. Her singing and acting are al
ways wholesome and sympathetic No
one could fail to follow the thread of
the opera, even though sung in Ital-
ian. Leovalli is not alone a singer of
golden notes-she is an excellent act
ress, with the artistry which does not
permit mere acting to detract from
her singing Her work in "Pagliacci"
tonight VIII be worth hearing and see
ing. 1t is one of the most memorable
OIL TINS
Notable in Traviata are the duet OF
Leovalli and A Lopez Gontis in the
first act, and the solo in act , Of Ed
uardo Lejarazu, who sung the part Of
Germont, father Of Alfredo. In Le-
jarazu and Gontis. Leovaln had most
excellent support. Lejarazu is the re-
markable clown in "Pagliacci-"
Leovaln presented new interpreta-
ton of the part OF Violetta- the
Camille OF Traviata. Notably a differ
ent Interpretation was the finale
where Violetta- to whom Alfredo has
become reconciled, dies. Nioletta has
died sitting stiffly in her chair. and
she has died in the arms of Alfredo,
but Friday night Leovall cast herself
upon the floor, with the remainder OF
the company serving to concentrate
attention upon her, and not serving to
detract from the scene.
Tonight Cavalleria Rusticana and
Pagliacci will be presented by the
Navarrete company. Sunday La b.
heme will be the offering.
Sunday night an army officer made
the following comment: Had the peO-
pie of FL PasO been asked to pay opera
prices to hear the Mexican-American
company, I believe the house would
have been packed throughout the
opera season. 1t is a peculiarly OF
the American people that they value
sciously. perhaps, their reasoning fol-
lows this line: II the prices for hear
ing this company are small, IL can be
worth no more than is charged Had
they been compelled to pay IS a seat
to hear this company. I'm confident
that the attendance would have been
much greater. The people Of this city
do not realize that they may hear IS
opera for a fraction OF this amount"

as evening dress calls for decollete,
the woman who wants to make the

So even If you are young. and your
neck is firm and white and without

you should exercise it While If you

First, you should exercise. You can

by many opera singers-or you can
swing the head in a circle around the
shoulders. This swinging or rolling
the head, stretches and strengthens
all the ligaments.
Wash the neck with a flesh brush.

the skin is warm and relaxed from
its scrub. rinse with cold water or
keep an ice pack on for ten minutes.
Professional beauty specialists do
this, for il tones and tightens the
relaxed skin. and makes il brilliant
in tint Or, massage with a flesh
building cream, beginning at the
chin and working down, then work
ing gently around the whole neck
The cream that is not absorbed may
be wiped off with soft gauze.
A fat neck needs massage without
cream, or, with only cleansing cream
in place of the flesh making sort. 1t
also needs astringents.
