The farmer, if be only knew it, Is
a little nearer the kingdom of heaven
than anyone on earth. He is certain
of three square meals day and is the
only man who can fence himself in and
live in spite of the rest of mankind.
A few cattle and sheep and fowl pro-
vide him with food and clothing, while
his field yields him -four and source
Of revenue SO generous are these
provisions and so common that hard

For most of us by this time. that
reign of terror for mankind is past,
when the thrifty house wife arms her
self with all necessary equipment and
proceeds to turn our hitherto peaceful
abode into a hodge podge of furniture,
dust cloths, brooms and soap suds.
We trust that most of our fellow suf-
terers gathered up an extra supply of
patience TO enable them to weather
that trying time with becoming forth
tude And now that it is all over, the
quietness and order seems all the
sweeter for that brief period of spring
house cleaning.

OF old SCHOOL
PASSES AWAY
"Marse Henry" Watterson,
Dies in Florida Follow
ing Brief Illness
, MIND CLEAR TO END
Louisville Journalist Was One of Best
Known Southern Writers and Demo-
Gratis.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 23.-The
body of Col. Henry Watterson, old
school journalist and internationally
known editor, who died in his hotel
apartment here early today will be
placed in a vault tomorrow after a
simple funeral service at which only
members of his immediate family will
be present, there to remain until
spring when it will be taken to Louis
Vile, KY, for interment in the family
plot in Cave Hill cemetery.
This arrangement was determined
upon by his son, Henry Watterson,
Jr., because of the state of health OF
his mother, deeming it inadvisable
for her to go to Louisville during the
winter. The Rev. Mr.. j. T. Boone,
pastor of the First Christian Church
of this city, will officiate at the serv-
ice.
Colonel Watterson, who with his
family came here from Louisville
three weeks ago to spend the winter,
passed away as the result OF heart
trouble superinduced by bronchial con-
eestion, after an illness Of only few
hours.
With only their son and daughter
and several grand children present.
Colonel and Mrs. Watterson cele-
brated their fifty-sixth wedding an
niversary in their apartment Tues
day. During the day Colonel Waiter
son contracted a slight cold, which
was not regarded seriously, but yes
terday forenoon he suffered an acute
bronchial attack and was ordered to
bed Immediately by his physician.
Colonel Watterson suffered very
little, but was in comatose condition
the greater part Of the time from
early in the evening until he passed
away, with brief periods Of con-
seriousness during which his mind was
perfectly clear. At midnight he
realized the end was near, but his son,
who with his mother and sister, was
at the bedside constantly, said he did
not discuss it other than to say he was
ready to go.
His wife was alone with him dur
ing the last few minutes of con-
seriousness short time before the end,
and he passed away in her arms.
Years ago, before undergoing an
operation, he said to the managing
editor Of the Courier Journal:
81 am prepared at any time to sur
render my life to God who gave It.
We do not know about these things
and | face the outcome with serenity
whatever it may be. 1t IS perllous
thing for a man in his 10Th year to
submit to the surgeons knife, but l
am ready for it and, all that may
follow"
Mr.. Watterson was known as a
fearless writer, who, having arrived
at a decision on matters of public
policy, fought brilliantly and with
tenacity for the position he and the
Courier-Jo journal had taken.

What Is The Salvation Army?

The Salvation Army is religious
body existing in two phases, namely,
the evangelistic, which is the primary
and the social relief, which was made
necessary by the evangelistic, and
which operates to give permanency to
many of it's most important results.
1t was founded by the late General
William Booth, in London in 1865.
First known as the Christian Mission,
It's present name was adopted in
1878. 1t derives its name from the
fact that it works for the salvation
of mankind from all forms Of moral,
spiritual and temporal distress. It's
government is military in form and
its tactics militant and aggressive.
In the United States the Salvation
Army owes its legal existence to an
act of the legislature of the state of
New York entitled "An act to provide
for the incorporation Of the Salvation
Army" chapter 4GS, which became a
law April 2S, 1899.
The Salvation Army opens its
doors to every human being who may
need help; no conditions, creedal, ,
ethical, or racial are made. Real need
is the sole condition. To the deepest
gutter in the farthest and most for
lorn corner of America it is carrying
it's heartening creed of "a Man May
Be Down, but He's Never Out" 1t
is allaying teh actual hunger and
cold of hundreds upon hundreds OF
human beings and the starvation Of
hearts and chill of spirit. Of many OF
social relief effort and their world
wide development make the Salvation
Army the strongest and largest sin
gle social relief (or charity organi-
zation in the world.
The field or evangelistic work is
fundamental. Each corps or field
unit holds its religious meetings IN
open air and in halls, to which espe>
cially the poor, the grossly sinful, the
obviously lost, the outcast, the repro
bate, the morally impotent are invited.
Here the gospel is preached in diction
suited to the simplest of men. Here
strong spiritual and moral motives
are brought to bear directly upon the
individual. And special dealing en-
forces and makes personal the APP
peals made from the platform imme-
date decision for Christ is the Key
note in ALL The field officers also
visit the homes of their constituents
and others of the poor and become ac-
quainted at first hand with their needs
their sorrows and their joys.
So keep the pots boiling. Help
your Salvation Army to go over the
TOP. Thank you,
Captain Mcintyre.
