ED. PFAFFLE LAID 10 REST.

The funeral of Edwin Henry Pfaffle. under the auspices of the Pioneer of Alaska Igloo No. 1. took place Wednesday, April 3rd. and was one of the largest of the year. The pioneers assembled at Pioneer Igloo and marched in a body to Neily's undertaking par lors, where the body was escorted to the Federated church and fun eral services held..
 Rev. Newton took as his text, Study to show myself approved unto Cod. So run that ye may ob- tain; to meet God spotlessly, should be the goal of life." To reach this goal is like unto running a race, we should do it unburdened with the goal uppermost in our mind, so that the prize of ever lasting life should be obtained. Live in the sight of God as Abra- ham lived. Do nothing that you would not like God to see, say nothing that, you would not like God to hear. do not gossip, speak no ill of men behind their backs. If We should practice this rule amongst ourselves. we should be closer to the prize of meeting God with his stamp of approval on our lives.
 Beautiful Isle of Somewhere was sang by Mrs. Rynning and "A Whispering Hope" by Mrs. Rynn- ing and Mrs. Newton.
 The ritual of the Pioneers of Alaska, beautiful in its magnific ent simplicity, portraying death as the ending of our earthly trials, where at it's ending we closed our eyes and opened them upon the infinite beauties of immortality.
 The funeral cortege followed by the pioneers and many of the de- ceased friends, then wended their way to the cemetery where the body was laid in the vault to await | word from his relatives as to it's future burial. On the death of | MT. Pfaffle the Nugget in its last issue gave short sketch of his life's activities. but since then we have learned, from his business as sociate. MT. Wallace Porter, who | came by dog team from Dime creek to attend the funeral. that l the deceased was born May 1st, 1873 at Benson, Iowa, and that his early life was spent on farm l where he learned the habits of frugality, steadfastness and hones- ty, which helped to make him not alone a, successful business man,
 but also a generous friend and one

Week End Death Toll in Middle
 West Remains at 26

St. Louis, Mo. April 23 (UP)- Rampant nature. which for three days scourged the Mississippi Valley with floods and tornadoes, appeared to be subsiding today.
 The toll of dead in the weekend tornadoes and floods remained at 26. Property damage was heavy. es- pecially in farming regions where freshly sown crops were destroyed by winds and flood waters. Actual damage to homes in towns struck by the tornadoes was negligible.
 The dead include l3 at Tillar. Ark, ' at Dahomey. Shaw and Starkville. Miss, 2 at Oakridge. La.. at Walton. Ky. 1 at Reece. Kan. and 1 at St. Louis.
 Close watch was maintained on overtaxed levees for hundreds of miles of river front. Unless addi- tional rains occur to swell flood crest now slowly moving southward, government observers here anticipat- ed no further damage than that caused by levee washouts at two northeastern Missouri points and at Laconia, Ark, on White river.

RENTING attentions, thinking that II
she died, Henry might marry some
woman who would be her enemy.
Catherine played the part OF the
humble wife, but waited for the day
when she would be in position to deal
the cards.
It came in 1859. during tournament
in celebration of the approaching nup-
tials of Marguerite of France and the
Duke of Savoy. The queen and the
whole court were on hand, including
Nine. Diane, her children and her
grandchildren. Diane was as beautiful
as ever and triumphant because the
king wore her colors in the fitting, in
which he was extremely skilled.
The entertainment was drawing to
another lance.

Nay. SIRE" replied de Montgomery,

Henry was imperative, so the count
had unwi!lingly to comply. The two
combatants came together with great
force. breaking their lances dextrously
But Montgomery neglected to drop the
fragment OF the lance remaining In his
hand. He struck the kings helmet and
raised the visor. A splinter penetrated
the royal eye and injured the royal
brain.
Eleven days later Henry died. Cath

to send the royal jewA back to her as
quickly as possible. and to come back
to court no more. Diane complied, TAX

Catherine no longer was meek and
humble. Henceforth she intended to
rule France as she wished.

A Sermon for Today
Loves Better Way,
BIZ REV. JOHN n. GUM.

Text: Love thinketh no evil.
Cor. 134-5.
That is, love takes no account Of evil,
does not make a record of wrongs,
never broodS over wrongs.
The opposite of love is hate. Hate
thinks evil, never fails to make record
OF wrongs, harbors them and broods
over them.
Love sees the good, the beautiful. the
commendable. 1t may recognize unde-
sirable qualities, but it does not mag
MY them and keeps no record of them.
Hate sees the bad, the ugly, the con-
demnable. 1t enlarges upon every
wrong. 1maglneS wrongs where none are
intended, nurses its wounds and pre-
pareS to strike back
Hate breeds diScord, dissension and
strife. Love makes for peace, brother
illness and neighborlineSS.
There is lot of badness in the world.
much that is ugly and evil. But If we
get in the habit of making a record of
all the wrong and ugly things we see we
become cynical, critical and grouchy.
Nobody likes a chronic crouch. Nobody
wants to be picked on all the time by a
habitual critic. A cynic is a pest to
high-minded people. A cynical, critical,
grouchy disposition makes one obnox-
.ious to people of refined senSibilities.
One afflicted with such a disposition
will destroy the peace and happiness of
any company into which he enters.
Love reverses this disposition. If we
let love rule us. We form the habit of
looking for the good instead of the bad,
the beautiful instead of the ugly. The
result is happy, bright, hopeful dispo-
sition. Instead of booting everybody,
We become boosters. Instead of sowing
discord and dissension, we sow harmony
and happiness. What a difference II
would make if We would all follow loves
better way.

Queens were apt to have a tough
time Of 1t In the old days, because the
kings were so apt to have a lot OF
sweethearts.
It didn't make it any easier for
Catherine de Medici of France that her
husband, Henry II. preferred Diane de
PoitierS. a brunette to herself a blonde
OF course, Catherine was fat. She
loved her food. Diane, on the other
hand, was beautiful. She kept her
beauty to the last.
She had to go to lot of trouble to
accomplish this, but 1t was worth 1t.
Her beauty enabled her to boss the
King from the day she met him until
the day he died.
1t will interest present-day seekers
after beauty to learn that one Of
DANES recipes was to wash her face
in we'll water every morning, no matter
how cold it was
1t will interest middle-ag beauty
seekers, too, to learn that Diane was 10
years older than Henry II when she
first met him, and that he was still
crazy about her when he was 40 and
she was so. She managed him with
such fnesSe that he made her Duchess
of Valentinois and passed over to her
the crown jewels.
The strange thing was that Gather
inc de Medici and Nine. Diane re-
manned on the friendliest of terms.
But this was all pretense. The truth
was that Catherine hated Diane. How
ever, she had come to France under
unfavorable circumstances, and when
she married Henry. 1t was not expected
he would ever be king. 1t was neces-
sary for her to repress her dislikes and
court favor wherever she could.
AS for Diane, she was anxious to have
Catherine remain queen as long as pos
sible. Once Catherine was threatened
with a dangerous illness and Diane was

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August 27.-It
is inevitable that the trend OF comedy
should change with the introduction OF
talk.
The nuances which speech brings to
humor are beginning to show in what
was yesterday the two-reel slapstick
comedy Of the village.
TWo-reelerS, by no means the smallest
department Of movie making, carry a
unique burden in the evenings enter
tainment. When a feature picture OF
great pathos or tragedy has been given,
when a story of terrific dramatic ten
sion has kept the audience keyed up
for more than an hour, the two-reeler
Is the anodyne.
On it falls the burden Of reviving
the spirits of the public. 1t comes to
eye sometimes bright with tears. 1t
falls across the gloomy mood engendered
by some tragic tale. 1t must be gay and
silly without being offensive, funny
without being beyond the limits set by
good taste.
To its making some Of the cleverest
brains OF the village have been dedi-
Gated, and at the time talking pictures
broke across a silent art the magma
tons and resources Of this group had
been strained to the breaking point in
the search for new situations.
The talking art brings to comedies
such nonsense as the burlesque Of Faro
Nell" by Al Christie. In the early days
Of movie making the West was the field
of all romance.
Heroes wore Stetsons and chaparajos,
carried six-shooters which they used on
the slightest provocation, met at the
long mining town bars or the saloons of
the cowpunching paradises which were
the locale of their hearty adventurings.
The Faro Nell" story was made and
remade, with slight variations in plot
and scene It was the old tale Of the
girl raised in mining camp among the
crude musketeers who searched for gold
in the California hills. Each picture
ended with a near-hanging. The hero
under cloud for crime he didn't COM
nit, was invariably found astride a
horse under a spreading oak with the
moose atty adjusted about his neck.
Just as the rope was to be pulled the
rescue gang arrived.
This is the tale burlesqued in the
Christie version done with dtalk Louise
Fazenda, the Faro Nell Of the picture
brings some Of the most delicious work
of her entire screen career to this ironic
travesty which would not have been
possible in pantomime.
The dialogue Is delicious. When the
hero returns to camp after q pursuit
Of the villain. bringing his neatly las
