Obituary.
Matthew Lany Paulius, son .John and Elizabeth Paulius, was born October 1, l^iM, at Newark, Fairfield county, Ohio died at his late home in Greenfield Saturday August 1005, at tbe age of 80 years, 10 months and 4 da}Ts.
When a boy he worked on his father's farm and obtained a common school education. He also learned the blacksmith trade immediately after attaining- his majority.
In 184G he enlisted as a soldier in the Mexican war and continued in the service until the close of the war.
In 1849 he went to California and engaged in gold mining in which he was fairly succeesful. During his stay in the west he enlisted in several indian lights in defense of the mining camps. In 1851 he embarked in a sailingvessel to return home by the long and circuitous route arouod South America. "When at sea, the ve-ssol was in a calm o1T the coast of South America for many days, prolonging the voyage to sevent^'-cight days. "The crew and passengers were put on half rations later on one-fourth rations and were! ravaged by disease. But few of the crew and passeugers surviv-j ed. and among them Captain Paulius. Some who remained alive became insane and finally •died after landing at New Orleans.
After his return to his old home in Ohio on September :!1, 1853, at Eaton, Ohio, he was united in marriage to Mary Danner, the faithful wife who survives him. They took up their residence at West Alex« andria, Ohio where on January "27, 185", they both united with the Methodist Episcopal church. On the following evening, each went to the mourners bench without knowing of the other's intention so to do, and meeting at the altar they knelt together and prayed to God and wers both, happily converted before leaving the altar. On .June
'27,
following- their con version, they were baptized, each choosing" the mode that seemed to ixe the answer of a good conscience toward God, Captain Paulius being baptized by pouring and she by immersion. The Captain at the time requested his wife to make a record of the dates of their joining the church, conversion and baptism, which she did. and the same has remained in the old family Bible lor almost half a century.
When the Civil war began, the subject of this sketch ag'ain responded to his couutry's call, and early in 180o raised a company of soldiers at Camden, Ohio, and was commissioned captain by Governor Todd, of Ohio, and the company mustered into the Union army, where the Captain remained in active service until near the close of the war, when hereturned home with an honorable discharge. He was wounded in the shoulder at Murfreesboro on January 1, ,1864.
Captain Paulius joined the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in March, 1852, at Eaton, Ohio, and became one of its jno«t faithful and efficient members. He was a member of Humphries Encampment No. 49, and of titoe Canton at Kniglitstown,
U* A*
c,
Ind. One of his last business transactions was to post his books as treasurer of the Encampment and to see that his account was correct to the last penny. He filled all the offices of the Subordinate lodge and of the Encampment and up to the time of his last illness was active in the degree and charitable work of the order. He was for years the best known and the most active, zealous and prominent Odd Fellow in Hancock county and had an extensive acquaintance and held a prominent place among the leading" Odd Fellows of the State. He knew the ritual and loved to exemplify the work of the order. His zeal and fidelity for Odd Fellowship have seldom been equalled and never excelled. To him its principles were living realites and he lived a life of fraternal love and usefulness which has left its impress for good on his brethern of the order and his fellow men in general.
In March, 18(55. Captain Paulius and his wife moved to Greenfield, which has been their home continuously since that date. For a time he worked at his trade and up to the time of his death was prominently identified with the busniess, fraternal, church and social life of the city and county.
He was an active and zealous party man and always took great interest in politics. In 1884 he was elected Commissioner of Hancock county on the Democratic ticket and served for six years or two terms, from November
1SS5.
He bore his illness with courage and fortitude. To the writer he said: "1 am willing to live or read}' to go as the Master may will.''
In life he was a man of the greatest courage, both physical and moral. He was firm in his beliefs and ready to defend his position on any question. He was of the old chivalric school which taught and believed in the virtue of bravery and despised cowardice or double dealing. Whether before the enemy on the field of battle in defense of his country or before a personal antagonist, he was courageous and aggressive. He was as magnanimous as he was brave and when the offer of peace or friendship came in good faith, he was generous to forgive and kind to help on all occasions.
In his fraternal and church life he showed the kind and generous nature which he bore. His honesty, his courage, his bravery, his loyalty, his sympathy, his love for his fellow men, were manifest in his daily life.
He retained his mental vigor to the last. Tb witness him, at eighty years of age, actively ex-

He was an
honest, capable and faithful public servant. Captain Paulius took great interest in the soldiers reunions and especially those of the Mexican veterans, and seldom missed attending. In 19(K] he went to Los Angeles, California, and in 1904 attended the World's Fair and the reunion of the Mexican soldiers.
His zeal for his party, his church and his lodge was a matter of common knowledge which challenged the admiration of his fellow men.
He had been intimately connected with the M. E. Church of this city during his entire residence here, assisted in building both the old and new churches and was chairman of the committee that purchased and placed in position the old bell which has recently been hung in the tower of the new church. The last public service attended by him was the rededication of the old bell. Shortly before his death he and his good wife lay aside the money to pay his and her subscription made to defray the expense of moving and placing the old bell in the new church.

emplifying the work of his beloved order and delivering long charges which are severe tests for younger minds, was an inspiring" scene which his brethern will long remember. His zeal in caring for the sick and afflicted and in elevating "the moral standard of the order i:as accomplished good, that will continue for all time. He never appeared as old as his years would indicate. His spirit was always young. In Sabbath school he was an honored and revered member of Judge Felt's class of middle-aged men, saying, as he did, that he was not old enough to join the old men's class. He was firm in his beliefs, candid in his expression of opinion and faithful to every obligation. His loyalty to the church and Sunday school and his heroic figure and vigorous testimony witnessed so often in class and prayer meeting in church will not soon be forgotten.
That beautiful domestic felicity which makes happy the home and cheers the comunity is a thing of joy forever. For over fifty years he and his good wife pursued the path of life together. While childless, they were father and mother to many and ever ready to help the needy or open the door of their comforta ble home to any worthy person. To their nephews they have been parents and especilly to the children of Claude Wilson and wife they have been grandfather and grandmother in all the tender nearness which clusters around a beautiful and loving home life. Captain and Mrs. Paulius were husband and wife in the fullest sense of that term. They were happy, loyal and contented. Both were courageous and never shrank from any task or duty- .y.Hieir labors were rewarded by a fair competency of wordly goods, long life, a host of friends and a happy home. Early in their career they, together, identified themselves with the church and never faltered in their loyalty to the cause or forgot the God whom they worshipped.
To the bereaved and sorrowing wife, in this hour of great affliction, there is in the record of this life much to cheer. While the separation causes sorrow, the reunion is assured in the presence of God in the new Jerusalem. To his brethren of the order, to his relatives and friends and the community, he has bequeathed the priceless heritage of a loyal, faithful and generous friendship, rnoble manhood and a useful and well-spent life. To the church he has left an example of loyalty and devotion and proved ag'ain the satisfying joy of the Christian religion in life and its sustaining power in the hour of death, for he died as he lived, firm in his belief in God, and entered death's portal with full assurance of his reward.

The August Smart Set.
Mrs. Burton Harrison's name has always been identified with particular]y entertaining fiction and for many }rears she has not given us so capital a piece of work as "The Carlyles,'" the long novel which opens the August number ol The Smart Set. It is by far her most important story, and is a distinct departure from her former novels. The scenes are laid in and around Richmond, during the stirring" days of 1865, and the introduction of several historical events adds greatly to the interest of a splendid dramatic love story. No novelist dealing with the Civil War period has succeeded in creating" a more realistic atmosphere or characters more convincing".
Richard Le Gallienne, who is, perhaps, one of the most in teresting figures in contemporary literature contributes to this number an .idylic story wherein his delicate art is revealed at its best. "The Butterlly of Dreams" is the fanciful title he has chosen, and as a mere weaving together of exquisite words the story is incomparable. Elizabeth Jordan well known throug"h her iks of child life, writes another delightfully humorous story called "We Save Evelina May.'' "The Good Man" by Edna Kenton is a powerful psychological study of a woman who wearies of the petty tyrannjr of her unsympathetic husband.

Sleep nml Deittli.
An animal deprived of sleep dies more quickly than from hunger. One of the crudest of Chinese punishments is to kill a man by preventing sleep, lie dying insane about the fourteenth day. All animals sleep for some period of the twenty-four hours. How and when they do so depend upon their natural habits. But they all have this in common—that after any unusual exertion they sleep longer.—London Mail.
