she had many OF them. For many
deaf. Think of the many pleasures
of which this deprived her; of how
tedious 1t often made the days How
bright and happy would the world
seem to any of us were we thus af-
fiicted, and when these Affections
are measured by years we can truly
say that Mother Davis was a re-
markably cheerful woman always
ready and apt with some repartee
and making the best of her diff
culties. She leaves to mourn her
loss three daughters and one son;
13 grandchildren; many great
grandchildren, and many friends
AS we look at the hands now so
peacefully folded, and think of the
labor they performed and of
the sacrifices of personal care and
comfort they have made, these
words seem very fitting Mrs. Davis
was sister-in-law of the late Mar
tin Davis of Union township.

Mrs. Ieanna Davis

Mrs. Leanna Davis was born in
Morgan county, o., July 8, 1896,
and died in Wilson, Kan, March
10, aged 90 years, eight months and
16 days. She was the daughter of
Elias Baker and was the last OF four
sons and four daughters. In 1858
she was married to Harvey J. Davis
who died six years ago. To this
home came three daughters and one
son, all of whom are still living.
They are: Mrs. Ida Crofoot of Will
son Kan; Mrs. Frank Crofoot of Sa-
lima, Kan. Joseph U. Davis of Will
son, Kan; and Mrs. Albert Wilson
of Leoti, Kan. They with their par
ents went to Kansas in 1876, and
settled on a farm south Of the
Smoky river, near Wilson. They liv-
ed there about 16 years, and then
moved into Wilson, which has been
their home for about 35 years. In
early life she united with the Prot
estant Methodist church. After 60
ing to Kansas she joined the M. e.
church of Wilson, Kan, of which
she remained member until called
to the church triumphant. We think
of so years and wonder what has
been the vicissitudes of one who has
Travelled life's pathway for that per-
iod of time. How many, many
changes she has seen. We have
heard Mother Davis" tell of some
of the hardships through which she
passed during the Civil war, when
her husband was fighting under the
Stars and Stripes. She could not
have done and borne the awful bur-
dens under, which she labored, had
she not been blessed with unusual
strength If she had trials and diff
ficulties she was not one to publish
them to the neighbors, and we know

The Last Voyage efOdysSens
BY
JOHN ERSKINE

XZOU may have believed Plato's story of
what happened when Odysseus re-
= turned from Troy, killed the suitors
of his supposed widow, and resumed his
place at the head of the household. Or, you
may have believed the version that Homer
gave which indicated that Penelope was in
love with one Of her suitors, and that her
husband return interfered with theromance.
John Erskine, who has delved 50 delight
fully into the private lives Of Helen of Troy
and of Galahad, and who has told us what
really happened in the Garden of Eden, has
version all his own. And what versionl
1t makes one of the most amusing and
perhaps one of the most instructive stories
any magazine ever published.

The charm and piquancy of the.
speaker impressed more than 5000
persons who crowded the auditor
ium, many standing patiently in the
aisles and in the rear of the room.
while Mr., Russell pleaded for the
substitution of rationalism in edu-
cation and politics and with mild
sarcasm ridiculed what he termed
the passions of nationalism.
He traced "causi belli" to human
passions and emotions and termed
the economic factors of conflict
"pretext rather than causes. Po-
Ilitical passions he defined as those
felt by a large number of people
at the same time, consisting mainly
OF myths that can be plainly marked
bv those who stand beyond the pale
Of influence.

"There is a theory that govern.
ments. and not people, cause war.
| Il has been proven. however, that
where there is no democracy and
the people are not in power, the

| when the democracy assumes
