The Mankato Monitor, reporting a fire, says, "but fortunately it was extinguished by the time the fire department arrived." Would it have been so unfortunate if they bad arrived sooner? The State Health Bulletin advises against shaking hands, as one means of avoiding flu infection. Prospective political candidates are boping that all danger will pass before campaign time. "Apres La Guerre" It is sometimes hard to distinguish between ambition and envy. An Omaha man won a prize for proving that a man could afford to marry on $125 a month. Gee Whiz! Does it cost that much now? The stingy guy can now be in fashion by proclaiming that he is only thrifty.

It is reported that a Paris rag and bone dealer now has a "fortune" of a million francs, which he made by dealing in U. S. army salvaged goods. From experience, we would say that he hasn't anything to brag about yet. Just wait till he tries to turn his francs into real money.

He has long been a devout Christian, having been a member of the M.

E. church since childhood and superintendent of Sunday School at the age of 14, and his daily life and actions have' always been evidence of an enviable, untiring faith in a better world to come. While he lacked a few months of reaching the allotted age of three score and ten, yet we feel that, measuring a life by good deeds, his measure was full and overflowing To him the struggle and burden bearing of this earth are ended, and we confidently trust that like one who wakes 1 from a troubled sleep, he has awakened to see life's endless morning break, and knows himself at home, with all the loved ones missed from earth about him. To the bereaved ones, we can but point them to the promise; "At eventide it shall be light." Card of Thanks.

Funeral services were held at the Methodist church at Montrose Kansas, February 17 at 10:00 a. after which interment was made in the Greenwood cemetery.

GENEVIEVE Into our midst our darling came. And her spirit glowed with a gentle flame; With smile-wreathed face and gleaming eye She greeted us oft, so eagerly. Into her life Yet her Her temple But her came many a change, soul burned on with its gentle flame, weakened and pined away, soul flew on to eternal day. And methinks, where all innocent children are, Where the blood. washed saints and God's angels are, Where Jesus is worshiped by hosts above.

Her life abides in redeeming love. Card of Thanks. We wish to tender our thanks to the friends who so kindly assisted us during our late bereavement. Mr. and Mrs.

She made her home with her aunt, Mrs. Silas Stone, until her marriage to Chester Althouse on March 15, 1893. To this union were born five children, Ira Maurice Mrs. Mabel Pendergraft, Howard and Goldie May, who, with her husband, two sisters, and two brothers, survive her. After her marriage she lived in Jewell county two years, then moved 'o Harper county, where she lived sixteen years, then lived in Chase county four years, then the family moved back to Jewell county two years ago.
