WHENCE COMES THE
'STICK ON STAMPS .

Your stenographer seals and stamps
your letter to be whisked away to dis
tant friends on that modern magic
carpet, the post office, because it's flap
and it's stamp have been touched with
adhesive gum which may come from
Sudan.
The sticky trail leads geographic
Sherlock Holmes from your mahogany
desk straight to the palm-fringed
banks of the Nile where predatory
crocodiles lie in wait for chattering
monkeys to come down to the river
banks for their evening drink.
So that you may paste two and two
together, tawny, scrawny camels and
khaki donkeys, heavy laden with gum
from Kordofan, make their way to
Dueim, above Khartum, there to be
yelled at and unloaded by raucous,
half-naked natives. Their precious
cargo is loaded upon the diverse craft
which clutter the shores for shipment
to Omdurman, Khartum's neighbor
city From there it can be sped by
rail to uses which the natives never
heard of and could little understand.
Don't be too hard on your. office boy
who ticks your stamps instead OF using
sponge to wet them. In its natural
state gum is edible, and the natives
carry it about and eat it with as much
relish as your daughter would eat a
bonbon Perhaps to his juvenile
palate even the prepared form has
savory favor.-From a Bulletin or the
National Geographic Society.

CIVIL WAR VETERANS
HONORED AT BOSCOBEL

Soldiers and sailors of the Civil war
few in number now, were royalty en-
tertained at the annual encampment
of the G.. A r. held at Boscobel last
week. The citizens We'd with each
other in extending welcome to the
visiting patriots whose annual gath
erings will soon cease forever. AS
the years pass the Grim Reaper is
sounding taps and the few remaining
are too enfeebled to join in the testlv-
tiles with their old-time spirit.
Speaking of the sentiment, history
and tradition surrounding the now
shattered ranks of the once mighty
Grand Army the Boscobel Dial rever-
emily says:
"The average age of soldiers of the
northern army during the Civil war
was %. In the south it was lower
Fifty-seven years ago at Appomatox
two great bodies of men, one clad in
blue and the other in tattered gray
decided to stop fighting and live to-
gether in peace thereafter. So these
surviving veterans now average over
so years of age. Few alas are left and
their get-togethers are about to be
discontinued.
"The G. A. R. was organized in
1866, with all the vigor and enthus-
iasm of the American Legion. In 1880
il attained its peak membership of
409,4S9 Now about $4,000 remain.
The wearers of the little bronze but
tons are passing on their march into
eternity at so rapid pace that a de-
cade hence the last one may be gone.
That will be taps for mighty army
that had 2,77S,00O enlistments and re-
enlistments Confederate veterans
have dwindled accordingly and about
$4,000 are left of an army of $4,000,
an army so valorous that it sue
cumbed to superior invading forces
only after four years Of conflict and
starvation.
"As the nation honors these surviv-
ors of the rebellion, it must be COM
forting satisfaction for them to look
about at the powerful union that has
arisen since the war. The north hon
ors the southern soldier and the south
honors the northern veteran. Time
has welded the opposing armies into
an indissoluble one"

MRS. FRANCES WRIGHT
OBITUARY.

Frances Josephine Mcdonald was
born in Reetown, Wis, June 10, 1868,
and died at her home in Los Angeles,
California, May &c, 1922, of heart dis
ease after being in i'll health for some
time. She was daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. A ~ Mcdonald, the we'll known
Beetown pioneer settlers, and was
one of family of nine children, seven
girls and two boys. Her girlhood
was spent in the old town in the days
when Beetown was the live center of
the mining and farming activities of
that section, and her education re-
ceived in the old Beetown school. On
April "a, 1884 she was married to
Henry Wright, son of Phineas and
Fanny Wright, another family of
pioneer settlers, the aged father still
living on the old Wright farm near
Beetown.
Henry Wright leaving the wife with
the burden of caring for two small
children, a daughter a year old and a
son two years older
A devoted mother, her life was al
ways devoted to the welfare of her
children; a woman of tireless' energy,
she always managed to keep the
daughter with her wherever her life's
work carried her. About eight years
ago she went to California and liked
that country so we'll that she made it
her home Three years ago the
daughter Olive, died. victim of the
dreaded influenza. This was a blow
which greatly saddened the life of the
mother, and is believed by many to
have contributed somewhat to her
final illness.
A woman of pleasing manner and
loving disposition, Mrs. Wright won
many friends among all people and
among the many young people of the
relatives and friends. aunt Frank"
was always a favorite while the
grandchildren will always cherish the
memory of Grandma Wright. Her
son, Orville, received word of her con-
dition in time to reach her before her
death. Her sister, Mrs. Roberts of
Platteville, was also summoned but
did not arrive in time to see her sis
ter alive
Those whom she leaves to mourn
her are her son, Orville Wright of Mt.
Hope, five grandchildren, five sisters,
Mrs. Jennie Francis of Gwinn, Mich;
Mrs. Alice Budworth of Bloomington;
Mrs. Florence Roberts of Plattevllle;
Mrs Glendora Steinborn Of Mifflin;
and Mrs. Rowena Jones OF Avelon,
Sask., Canada, and two brothers Eu-
gene and William Mcdonald of Rock
Island, ILL.,. one sister, Nina, preceded
her to the great beyond.
By her request her body was
cremated. The faith which gave her
the strength to surmount the difficult
ties which best life's path and fear
lessly meet death is presented in these
line from Tennyson:
Sunset and the evening star,
Ane one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning OF the
bar
When | put out to sea.
But such tide as moving seems
asleep
Too full for sound or foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and the evening bell
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness OF fare
well
When l embark.
For though from out the bourne OF
time and place
The flood may bear me far,
| hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

BRYAN--AS USUAL.

William Jennings Bryan has broken
into the campaign in the Central
states. He flourishes his trumpet
thusly:
"The revenue bill is the boldest
piece of piracy attempted in recent
wears. It has taken the tax off excess
profits and transferred $45O,OOO,Ooo
in taxation from the profiteers to the
plain people. The bill as passed by
the house has reduced taxes on the
incomes of the profiteers from 65 to
80 per cent and has given benefit
of $9O,0OO,OOO to less than 5000 per-
sons.
"The high tariff bill has imposed
a burden estimated at three to four
billion dollars on the common people,
an average of from $3.50 to $500 on
the average family.
Republican leaders have never been
closer to the plunderbund than today
and never more reckless in their re-
moval of restraint from those who
prey on the public. Mr.. Mellon, Sec
retary of the treasury. went before
a committee and protested against a
farmer being put on the federal res
erve board. Within the last three
years-since there has been major
ity of Republicans in congress-the
senate and house have attempted tc
fasten upon the country system Of
compulsory military training at 6
cost of $7O,OO0,OOO yearly.
"They were prevented by the oppo
sition of Democrats, who secured the
aid of few Republicans-not many
but enough to block the plan.
"The Republican party had no mon
ey for the soldiers bonus, but hao
money to give the profiteers $450,OO0'
900 above mentioned, $90,000,OO0 il
tax rebates to people with big in
comes, $60,000,000 to the railroads ir
guaranteed dividends.
"The Republican house tried to loar
$5,000,000 more to the railroads. They
think they have enough for shig
subsidy, but not enough for the sol
dier who took the risk of war and
shed blood in Europe while the prof
iteers were bleeding their country at
home"

With the intake portion of it's gray
ity water system shot to pieces be-
cause of a rotten pipe line, Athena
finds a sufficient supply for domestic
purposes diverted from the reservoir
AS it is, the supply of water is now
furnished exclusively by the pumping
station at no trivial cost. While the
line is being replaced with new pipe
would it not be we'll to investigate
whether the gravity supply could moi
be increased in practical way, by ex
tension to south where it is claimed
the flow can be augmented in quantity

shadow behind them forevermore
There is no short cut, no patent tram
