OBITUARY. Elizabeth E., daughter of Elihn and Mary Smith, was horn in Putnam County January 5, 1848, dcceased December 29, 1907. Aged 5s years 11 months 25 days. Was married to Oliver J. Cummings Nov. 14, 1877: to this union was born two children: Rose and Golden, who survive her.

Yet we are consclous of the fact that our loss is her eternal gain. “Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.” The funeral was conducted from the Union Valley church by Rev. T. C. Vaughan assisted by J. W. Cox.

A Dealer Telle Why the Maid Break* Them So Often. "Our maid certainly worked destruction on those sherry glasses, those delicate little glasses." said tiie customer to the dealer. “There were six. and she broke three inside of three months.” “Oh. you got off easy, judging from the stories that come to us,” replied the store man. “Well, I see how it is,” responded the customer. “I tried wiping a few of these glasses myself tiie other night, and the first thing I knew I wiped the side right out of one. As the maids say, ‘Why, they break right In the towel!’" “Now, if you would wait until they were nearly dry," remarked the dealer, “you'd never break any at all. Take this cordial glass with the very thin stem. Von naturally seize it by the foot mid turn it while you wipe the bowl with the other hand. While the glass is wet the dish towel, gripped between two Angers, holds the bowl like a vise, and you just naturally twist the stem in two. But if you let the glass get nearly dry the towel slips, and the danger is over.” “Doesn’t that make streaked glasses?” “No, not if the water and towels are clean. Of course you ought to have towels that you use only for glassware. Towels that have been used on dishes are likely to have grease on them, and grease is tiie great enemy of brilliancy in glassware.” “Then can soap be used in the water?” “Oh, yes. We use pure white soap with ours. Tiie main point is to have the water Lot enough. That helps with the drying, too, because when you take n glass out of very hot water nud set it aside to drain It will dry itself before you cau take a towel to It. Tis sue paper is good ns a polisher because usually it has never touched grease. Alcohol lias a reputation as a polisher, but its function is rather to clean. Cut up potatoes are good to shine up the insides of pitchers and carafes.’’—New York 1’ost.

Interview Between the Boss and the Man He Fired. Neither of the partners had arrived and the clerks that morning wore in duiging in their usual bout of gossip. “Did i tell you. chaps, that 1 was leaving?" drawled the languid swell of tiie staff, whose Incompetence was as palpable as the splendor of his at tire. “Heard you’d got the sack,” replied the spectacled cashier gruffly. “I answered an advertisement yes terday for what looks like a first class job,” resumed tiie overdressed one, ignoring the remark. “I’ve pitched rath er a strong yarn, but you’ve got to do that if you want to keep up with the times.” Just then the senior partner entered, and nil wrote intently. Within five minutes the “old man, 1 who had been opening letters, called the last speaker into bis room, and tiie following dialogue became plainly audible to those outside: “Have you been in our service seven years?” “No, sir; only fifteen months." “And is your salary £4 l()s. a week?” “Eh, no, felr; 30 shillings.” “And are you In entire charge of the counting house?” No reply. “And are you leaving us because of a difference with the firm regarding the management of our colonial branches?" Dead silence and a short pause. Then the old man: “Y’ou should be more careful in your statements, sir. This is n small world. The advertisement you answered was for the situation you are leaving on Saturday. That will do.”—London TltBlts.

Their Sensitive Muscles Make Them Great Telltales. “It’s a queer thing.’’ remarked the professor, "how people can control their eyes and not their mouths.” The inventor with whom be happened to lie talking made the comment that the professor probably meant tongues when speaking of mouths. “No, 1 didn’t mean tongues. I meant mouths,” the professor rejoined. “I mean, if you want to be scientifically accurate, the action of the lip muscles. There's nearly always, In a moment of excitement, of exaltation, depression or emergency, a telltale movement on their part which can't be guarded against. Wtiy can't it l>e guarded against? Because it is so largely unconscious. Most of us from our youth up have been trained to use our eyes and to use them in such a way as to conceal our emotions. It’s different with the mouth. Perhaps we haven’t advanced far enough to do two such Important things at the same time. Anyway the fact remains that we don’t do it. “If, for example, I have reason to believe that a man is not telling me the truth 1 don’t give my attention to his eyes. He may look at me as fearlessly as he wants. What I watch for is something significant in the region of his face below the nose. If there is no change in the expression of his lips I am disposed after all to believe him. But if there is tiie least trembling or twitching, the least exhibition, let us call it, of nervousnesswell, then. I have my doubts." “I suppose,” observed tiie Inventor, “that while that fact does not explain the wearing of tiie mustache It shows that the mustache has uses.” “It does,” returned tiie professor, “but you must remember that the mustache, as a rule, doesn’t obscure the lower lip. And tiie lower lip. if you’ll take tiie trouble to notice, is If anything more revelatory than the upper one. It is usually that lip which gives tiie expression to the mouth. The upper lip follows suit, ns it were.” “Well, well,” said the inventor, fingering liis mustache.—New York Press. A KING'S UNDRESSING.

The Ceremony Was a Wonderful One In Louis XVI.’s Time. In “Memoirs of the Comtesse de Boige" (17S1-IS14), edited from the original manuscript by Charles Nicoullatnl, is found tiie following realistic description of tiie ‘Voucher” of Louis XVI.: “The king's coat, waistcoat and shirt were taken off. He stood there naked to the waist, scratching and rubbing himself as if lie had been alone, iu the presence of the whole court and often many strangers of distinction. The first valet handed the nightshirt to the most highly qualified person, to one of the princes of the blood If any were present. This was a right and not a favor. When the person was one with whom he was on familiar terms tiie king would often play tricks while putting it on, stepping on one side to make the holder run after him, accompanying these charming jokes with loud guffaws, which greatly vexed those who were sincerely attached to him. When ids shirt was on lie put on his dressing gown, while three valets unfastened liis waist l>elt and knee breeches, which fell to his ankles, and in that garb, scarcely able to walk with these ridiculous fetters, he would shuffle round tiie circle of those In waiting \\ hen the king had had enough of it, he shuffled backward to an armchair which was pushed into the middle of the room ami dropped Into it, lifting up his legs. Two pages on their knees Immediately seized his legs, pulled off the king’s shoes and let them drop with n crash, which was a point of etiquette. As soon ns he heard the noise the usher opened the door, saying, ‘Gentlemen will please pass out’ Those present went away, and the ceremony was finished. However, the person who was holding the candlestick was allowed to stay If lie had anything special to say to the king, and hence tiie value that was attached to this strange favor.”

Unlucky Suggestion. An old vicar had a groom who had been detected stealing his master’s oats. Tiie vicar had not decided wbat course to take, and meantime the groom had gone ta_tlie curate to ask him to plead for him, and the sympathetic young fellow hastened to the rectory to appeal to the vicar. The old vicar heard his curate out. hut looked obdurate, so ns a last resource the curate quoted Scripture ns a plea for leniency and said we were taught when a man took our coat to let him take the cloak as well. I hat s true,” said the vicar dryly, “and ns the fellow has taken my oats I am going to give him the sack.”— London Answers.

ooooooooocxxx>6(3oooooooooc>o I A SUDDEN § ELEVATION. 8 Sooooooocoooocxxxxxxxxxxx^ (Original] John Merlweather was what the world would call a self made man. The reason why he was a self n )a d e man was because he had been given by his Creator both the desire and the ability to he such. He had saved his pennies as a hoy. paying for an education by working while studying, had denied himself when a young man i n order to save capital and had forged ahead rapidly by a remarkable capacity for hard work. He now lived In a fine hou^e, drove his horses, was powerful and courted, yet he worked as hard as ever. One day he overheard his butler lamenting to his coachman that the wealth of tiie world was very badly distributed and declaring that an equitable - way of arranging the good things would bo for the rich and the poor to change places once every ten years. “Peter,” culled the master, “corns here.” Peter would have been emharressed at having been overheard, but he had got the equality bee In his bonnet, and he approached his master somewhat defiantly. “Peter,” continued Merlweather, ‘Tve been working very hard lately and need a rest. I want you to be my representative. Go and dress yourself like a gentleman and come back.” At U o’clock the next morning Peter sat in bis master's chair hi his master's office, opening the mail. Merlweather was there giving him Instructions for the first day's work. Ills affairs were iu good condition and easily managed. Indeed, there was little or nothing to do during the day but attend a meeting of directors of tiie Eureka ( .pper company at 3 In the afternoon. Peter, armed with an order to act fur his master, went to the meeting. Some surprise was manifested on the part of the other directors that this Peter Conover should represent one to whom they were accustomed to look for a final decision on all Important dlseuaslons. The question came up as to whether the company should issue bonds for some intended improvements or pay for them out of tiie dividends. After a long discussion over the matter Mr. Conover's views were asked. Peter, resolved not to acknowledge any indecision, remarked that It would tie well to Issue bonds. “Why so?” asked the chairman. Peter turned flaming red and said nothing. The president stepped to the telephone, called up John Merlweather and asked his views on the question under consideration. They v given promptly, with the l»est of re&auag, nm) the meeting adjourned. When Peter went home he concluded to have a drive liefore dinner. On reaching the house he learned that hU master had Just left on a trip. ThU i>oth pleased and alarmed him. He would have free scope to enjoy the luxuries of his position, but no one would he on hand to refer to In bullness matters. His ride was interfered w ith by an architect, who was erecting a warehouse for Mr. Merlweather. He laid his plans on the table and asked for Instructions. Peter was tempted to ask the man to wait till his master’s return, but remembered that ho wss his master. Besides tho architect could not wait. Mr. Merlweather was called up on tiie long distance telephone, and the points submitted to him. A fine dinner was set before the representative of his master, but 1’etefi appetite was somewhat interfered will by the realization that lie was his master only in name, not In reality. I* the evening he went to the theater; but, since he did not care to take wltl him any of the servants, he was obliged to go alone. The play was one of Shakespeare's, mid Peter could nd. understand what the actors were talking about. When the play was over he looked in at one of the swell re* taurants, but bis new position bad tired him, and he needed some real refreshment, so he went to a low grade saloon and ordered a dish of pork and beans and a mug of ale. He felt somewhat out of place in his fine costume, but he was alone while he ate, and tie meal was Peter's only bit of comfort 7 during the first day of his playing tW gentleman capitalist. The next morning Peter opened W master’s letters. Fortunately ho read, lint unfortunately he did not understand them, and if he had understood lie would not have known wl* 1 replies to make. Peter had supposed that all he would have to do la lb new position would be to cut off c 00 ' pons and cash checks for dividend* He now saw that he could not hold tl* position creditably for an hour. ® concluded to let the letters go umm swered, have a good time till bis ms*ter returned and then resign. • Putting a hundred dollars in hi* P 00 * et, he took It home to his family-w-lfe. instead of laying It by for a ra ' n -' day or to get the children clothes,sp*®* it in a trip to the country. Peter c°“ not go with them In his fine appa^ 1 ; bo, not knowing what to do, he to his favorite saloon and ordered 4 slice of ham and a glass of beer Ibe” he sat repeating his beer till inldnlL"! The next day Peter did not open 1 * letters. He stacked them up, and tlA continued to he stacked till Ida n ‘*f ter’s return. One morning John weather walked Into the office aad M Peter sitting liefore his desk wltl bored expression and stacks of <iii»i* . ed letters before him. Peter edged that his training had not I him to represent his master, and it a happy day for him when he dono his livery and returned to the manar meut of household affairs. HOPS H0PKI>*
