Davis, deceased was born in Belmont county, 0., Nov. 27 1824 and departed this life on the evening of Sept. 27, 1903, aged 78 years 10 months. On Sept. 11, 1845 he was united in marriage to Nancy Brokaw. Together they struggled through the hardships of the early pioneer life each having faith in the other and both strong faith in God. This union existed for*sl years or until and wife was called to come up higher to receive her greater blessings there in store for her. To this union were born ten children five of whom preceded their parents into the unseen land. Those left tomeurn their loss are Robert A.. John R. Porter, and Geo. W. and F.M.Davis of Springfield, Mo. Besides these, the deceased leaves 14 grand children and 17 great grand children all of whom survive him. Early in life' the deceased expressed his faith in ’ Christ and was a faithful devote ■ Christain throughout life, being a | class leader in the M. E. church I for a period of 25 years and a faith-I till accendant at, ail church services until nature departed him of faculties which every man must have whom God holds accountable. The Master has come for the servant, Whose last days’ work is done; And taken his spirit up higher Where eternal life hath begun. A life witout death, without sorrow, There we shall meet loved ones of yore, A life full of joy, peace and gladness A life he shall live evermore. in fancy I see a reunion Os loved ones upon the bright strand, He is welcomed asone of their number And sits at the Savior’s right hand. Now we leave him with God and his loved ones, And return to our work incomplete, To await the call of the Master Our loved ones in glory to meet. Good-bye, thou hast left us forever, Thy spirit hath taken its flight, To the laud of the pure and holy Where all darkness is faded to light. Thy soul is at rest with its maker, Thy body we place in the tomb, While Christ in the portals of Heaven W’elcomes thy spirit home. Funeral services were conducted last Tuesay at the Steele M. E. church by Rev. Jas. A. Sprague.

IN MEMORIAM. It is with profound sorrow that i we record the death of Mrs. Annen, I daughter of Comrad J. R. Parrish 1 and wife, and to the husband whose home has been made desolate, yet her memory is a shrine of pleasant ' thoughts, soft as the scent of flowers and sweet as the song of birds. Farewell sweet life, its memory will remain like a benediction over every one within the circle of her acquaintance. Resolved, That as a Corps, we tender our sympathy to the _ bereaved family let us say to them the Lord bless thee and keep thee. Resolved, That a copy of these resuolutions be inserted in each of the city papers and a copy given to the family. In loving sympathy, Lou Kennedy, Eliza Peterson, Committee. Nourishment by Bathing;. “It is well known that the skin Is a great absorbent, and nutrition even can be conveyed through its agency,” said n trained nurse. “A physician once ordered a beef tea bath for a child that I was nursing who was apparently dying of sotne exhaustive bowel trouble jaA-.’fiA-tiCi.kdb'ie * myself have found that rubbing delicate persons with warm olive oil is an excellent tonic. If I had the charge of a puny, sickly baby, I should feel inclined to give it oil baths instead of water baths and try the effect. The oil is quite as cleansing, and it stands to reason that such tiny beings, particularly if they are badly nourished, should not have the natural oil of the body continually washed away.” He Speke. He was in tile parlor of a St. Louis residence while his fiancee was playing a Chopin sontita on the piano. Her mother was seated almost opposite her future son-in-law, and ■when the proper opportunity presented itself she said: “Don't you think Edna has a great ear for music?” “I certainly do,” replied the young man. “If you'd stretch a few strings across, it would make a lovely guitar”— But he never finished his sentence. — New York Herald. Origin of a Famous Saying. Euclid, who is sometimes called the father of mathematics, taught this subject in the famous school at Alexandria. Being asked one day by the king of Egypt (Ptolemy Soter) whether he could not teach him the scienee in a shorter way, Euclid answered In words that have been memorable ever since. "Sire, there is no royal road to learning.” Not many scraps of conversation have lived, as this reply has, for 2,200 years. Mineral, and Life. The base of nutrition in all living beings is oxygen, water, salts, carbon and nitrogen. Forster tried to feed dogs on organic substances deprived of nearly all their mineral matter. Death from starvation occurred sooner than if the dogs had been completely without food. M. Herrera says in Revue Sclentifique. Paris. “Living beings are but aggregations of mineral substances and biology is but a chapter in mineralogy."
