DEATH OF MRS ANNA EVANS

On last Monday evening, June 18th.
at about o'clock Mrs. Anna Evans
died at the home of Mrs Seeley, who
had been taking care of her for nearly
a year. Mrs. Evans long and painful
illness extended considerably over a
year and death came as kindly re-
lease from her sufferings
She was born in the state of Ohio
in the year 1843. She was married in
to Kansas Twice she was out of the
state going to Colorado and Califor-
MIA but returned each time and for the
past twelve years resided in her little
cottage home in the south part of
town.
While hers was a quiet and retired
life yet she made many warm friends
who looked after her comforts and
nlinistered to her needs in the last
months of her illness. She was refined
and courteous in her manner and al
ways had a pleasant word of greeting
for all. She lived true Christian
life, practicing daily the precepts
which she had been taught and which
she believed. She was a member of
the Methodist church having Joined
that denomination in the days of her
young Womanhood and kept her faith
in God bright and true until the last.
She was the mother of three children
two of them dying in infancy, and is
survived by an only son, Harry, who is
well known here having lived with his
mother a number of years on a farm
on the Saline about nine miles north
of town.
On Wednesday afternoon the fun
eral was held at the M. E. church and
conducted by Rev. C. v. Powell, the
pastor, assisted by Rev. Westerman,
of Colby. Rev. Powell spoke most
beautifully and comfortingly from the
18th verse of the 14th chapter of Rev.
elation. The floral offerings were
numerous and beautiful bespeaking
the esteem in which the deceased was
held. Mrs. Evans being widow of a
soldier of the civil war it was fitting
that the following members of the
State Guard acted as pail bearers G.
Z, Hays, C. H Poffenberger, Lee Hin
shaw, Judd Benson, Schuyler Gibson
and Morgan Wollner. The interment
was made in the Wa-Keeney ceme-
terry.

use of fireworks, frecrackers and all

PRESERVE EGGS FOR WINTER
USE

Manhattan, Kans., June IA Store
eggs now for use next winter is the
suggestion of Ernest H. Wiegand,
state poultry club leader, division of
extension, Kansas State Agricultural
college.
Eggs are cheap and plentiful and
can be stored without waste to the
consumer at this season of the year.
This prevents flooding the markets
with the product in the season when
losses are unavoidable. Every con-
sumner should store away at least 80
dozen eggs in the next month for
home use This can easily be done by
the water glass method of preserving.
For 80 dozen eggs use two five-gal-
lon crocks-capacity Is dozen each.
Boil 18 quarts of water and cool. Mix
with two quarts of sodium silicate.
Place the eggs as collected, fresh
and clean in the crooks previously
scalded, keeping them covered to a
depth of two inches with water glass
solution. Place this crock in a cool
dark well ventilated cellar and cover
it with waxed paper to prevent the
evaporation of the solution

COMMON SCHOOL COMMENCE
MENT EXERCISES

Last Friday afternoon the Common
School graduating exercises were held
at the Court House. Not with -+-nding
the extreme heat a large crowd at
tended. Edwin L. Holton, Dean of the
summer school at Manhattan Agri-
cultural College was the speaker and
made an interesting and excellent ad-
dress, which was instructive and help
full to his listeners. Clemford Kulp at
the piano rendered a splendid march
to which strains the sixty eight mem
bers of the class of 1918 marched in
and took their places on the platform
which had been arranged for them.
They were a bright looking crowd
of happy eyed boys and girls and
made fine showing. Unfortunately
ten of their number found it impos-
sible to be present which would have
brought their number up to seventy
eight. Miss Katherine Hemphill rem
dered vocal solo "Spring Flowers
in an unusually pleasing manner,
possessing very clear, sweet voice
Professor Niesley introduced the
speaker whom we have already men
toned and who delivered splendid
address. After the presentation of
the diplomas by Professor NiesIey,
who made his usual splendid talk,
Misses Ruth Bingham, Elsie Zeman
and Sheldon Campbell played a pretty
piano trio which broupht the ever
cises to a successful close.

HOW THE HOME MISSIONARIES
CAN BE HELPED.

Did you ever know that the Catho-
lie Church Extension Extension So
ciety receives offerings for Masses and
distributes them among priests, who
many times would be forced to give
up their good work in poor sections of
the country were it not for the Mass
Intentions that are sent to them by
the Extension Society? With these
offerings they are able to buy enough
to feed and clothe themselves, and
thus keep up the good work in dis
tricts where the people are too poor
to support a priest, and where the
field for doing good is usually SO large.
At any time, therefore, that you
would like some missionary to say a
Mass for you in this little chapel, you
may send your offering to the Catholic
Church Extension Society, $50 McCor-
mick Bldg, Chicago, Ill, and feel as
sured that the Mass will be said in
accordance with your wishes.

KEEPING LENT IN INDIA.

Father Won Haaren, S. j.. finds his
flock at Raghabpur Mission (Calcutta)
very re7dy to keep Lent, and thus de-
scribes the beginning of that holy sea-
son among his Hindu parishioners:
"On Ash Wednesday | crossed near
ly three hundred foreheads, an impos-
ing number for a small parish. There
was nothing striking, with one excep-
ton however. As the babies had to
take part in the ceremony, their moth
ers must have told them that they
would get sweets, for many of them,
instead of presenting a bold forehead,
showed a very eager tongue. | am
ashamed to confess that | was badly
tempted to drop the ashes on their
tongues; | don't think | did it. Each
Friday in Lent we make the Way of
the Cross, at which good hundred
people are present. At the kissing of
the crucifix many people, big and
small, seem to strike out into new
paths of devotion Instead of kissing
the feet of the figure, they kiss with
great reverence the skull attached to
the cross and when I covered the
skull with my hand, those good souls
kissed my fingers"

aged Superior, Sister Vincent McCar-
thy, she gave a restrained eXclama-
ton Of joy because for years she had
been praying for the coming of Eng
disappearing priests to China, and
she knew that this was the purpose
of my presence in that country. She
was matronly woman with a
countenance that revealed intelli-
gence, refinement, genial humor, and,
best of all, the charity that is born
of heroic faith.
And who was she, this Sister Claire

she had always been to any publicity,
so much SO that in writing of her
works l had rarely disclosed her
name. But now there can be no
further objection because Sister
Claire has gone to her reward. She
was Lady Fielding of England, the
sister of Lord Denbigh, and her min
istrations in China covered a period of
more than twenty-five years.
The news of her death was sent
by her cousin, Sister Xavier, who also
has labored a quarter of a century in
the Chinese mission field. The only
regret which our heroic mission
workers, such as these two noble
English ladies, have is that eve stay
at-homes cannot realize the oppor
tunity that lies waiting for Catholic
apostles in China

WISE WORDS ABOUT AFRICA.

Father H. A. Gogarty, c. S. Sp,
labors in Zanzibar, but his stirring
words apply to the Dark Continent
generally, and show that we should
turn our eyes upon Africa, as we'll as
China, if we would watch the wide
spread growth of our religion. He
says:
much has been done with Gods
grace. Much more remains to be done.
The sway of Mohammedanism is
being brought to an end. Founded and
spread by arms, it decays with the
decay of military power. The roots
whence it drew nourishment and sup
port in Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Arabia
are being cut. The greatest obstacle
to the bringing of the whole world to
the bosom of the true Church dis
union in Christendom-is ceasi1g,
being broken down; cataclysms in
Europe, social and political, will
hasten the recognition of the Catholic
Church as the true mother. of wisdom,
peace and liberty.

to the teeming millions of Africa and
Asia. But whatever may come, through
veal and woe, the Catholic Church
must carry out it's appointed task, Go
and teach all nations The islands
that are afar off must hear her voice
But the noise of error is bewildering
LAS it dies away, these simple
straightforward people will hear more
distinctly the sweet voice of Christ
| calming the tumultuous waves of the
world of passion where it exists
| Their minds will perceive that He
alone is Truth, and their hearts made
to love will beat in unison with the

WHERE A WIFE is OUT OF PLACE.

Father Mertens gives the following
interesting account touching the
restoration of the Catholic missions
at Nagasaki Japan, in 1865. Our
readers will recall that in the seven
teenth century persecution utterly
destroyed the Catholic missions in
Japan and drove from the country
every one of the clergy. The laity,
left to themselves, continued the Cath
Ollie traditions in their families, so
that when two centuries later the
priests returned they found Christian
communities whose members were
validity baptized and who retained the
Catholic faith of their ancestors.
The incident of 1866 is thus related
by Father Mertens: "A short time
before a Protestant minister had
established himself at Nagasaki. The
old Christians, seeing the cross, had
f1ocked to him, visited the chapel and
heard him preach. But they remained
in doubt, refusing to give him their
names. Finally, as he was dismissing
them, the minister said: Come again,
and bring your wives, and | will in
troduce mine to you This last phrase
put an end to their doubts. They
didn't come again. They failed to find
in the Protestant one of the three
signs which our Fathers two cen.
