'Stokes Jackson "Swaps" His Trusty ..... Walking Stick for "Twirler" at the Capitol—"The Woman
Did It."
"Pride goeth before a fall," so .thinks Stokes Jackson, who is at Washington holding down the ser-geant-at-arms job. The following story from Washington, published in the Indianapolis Sunday Star, shows the truth of the above golden text to the Sunday school lesson last Sunday:
Stokes Jackson, chairman of the Democratic state committee of Indiana, and sergeant-at-arms of the .National House of "^Representatives, was known as a plain, blunt man when he mingled with the plain people out in Hoosierdom. Candor •compels the statement that since he came to Washington to hold down -one of Uncle Sam's best jobs he has •taken on city ways. Out in Indiana he carried a cane that was a cross ^between a crowbar and a railroad tie something plain, substantial :and serviceable.
He blames Mrs. Jackson for a .mishap that is being related with .many smiles around the House of Representatives, but then it is one of man's old tricks, dating as far iback as Adam, to blame everything •on the women.
Mr. Jackson says that Mrs. Jackson suggested to him that, if he in (tended to carry a cane, something ^smaller in size than a sawlog would 'he desirable. He listened—and fc^l. He went downtown and picked out a nobby gold-headed cane that •would have made Beau Brummel .green with envy. It was light and fancy—a regular twirler.
Now it happens that one of Mr. Jackson's old habits, contracted when he was on the farm and found •time between baling hay and shucking corn to take a stroll occasionally on Sunday, is to poke his cane into the ground. He declares that -to save his life he could not tell how he acquired the habit unless it was sort of second nature with him to test the soil as he goes along to see whether it is good for potatoes or corn, or so poor that only tieans would grow on it.
At any rate he was going over from the Congress Hall Hotel to his office at the Capitol, carrying the nobby cane, when he passed right by a flower bed. He was absorbed in contemplation, and, without thinking what he was doing, he poked the cane into the flower bed, and was passing on when he heard something crack.
He paused, looked around him and saw that he had only about a foot of cane with a gold handle in his hand while the remainder of the walking stick stuck in the earth —it had snapped in twro.
Viewing the ruins with sad eyes, Mr. Jackson solemnly resolved that a man of his habits ought to carry a cane that is at least as strong as a handspike, and in the future he will govern himself accordingly.
When Mr. Jackson returns to Indiana after Congress adjourns he intends to call some of his friends together and ask them what he ought to do with the state chairmanship. Ought he resign right away, or ought he hold on until the regular time or reorganization next January? That is the question.
There are various wTays of looking at it. If he resigns this summer he will force the hands of various and sundry candidates for the Democratic nomination for Governor. With the exception of Representative Adair, every aspirant for the gubernatorial nomination probably will try to put across some friend into the chairmanship. Under ordinary rules of playing the political game it is considered a decided advantage for a candidate to have a supporter at the head of the state organization.
Saved Child From Death. "After our child had suffered from severe bronchial trouble for a year," "wrote G. T. Richardson, of Richardson's Mills, Ala., "we feared it had consumption. It had a bad cough all the time. We tried many remedies without avail, and doctor's medicine seemed as useless. Finally we tried Dr. King's New Discovery, and are pleased to say that one bottle effected a complete cure, and our child is again strong and healthy." For coughs, colds, hoarseness, lagrippe, asthma, croup and sore lungs, its the most infallible remedy that's made. Price 50c and $1. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by M. C, Qnig'luy.
New Case Filed.
Board of Children's Guardians of Hancock County vs. Corda Alice Vernon, Merritt, Anna and Arthur Vernon. Petition for custody of children.
MEST SCOTT WILL
Suit Filed By Emma Fort to Contest Wm. T. Scott Will.
Emma Fort has filed suit in the Circuit Court against Stephen G. White, executor with the will annexed, Mary Alice White, Nancy M. Scott and Scott R. Edwards to contest the will of the late William G. Scott, alleging that he was of unsound mind wiien the will was executed.
The averments are that the deceased left this plaintiff, Emma Fort and the defendants, Mary Alice White, as his only children, and Nancy M. Scott as his lawful widow, and the above named persons as all and his only heirs at law. That at the time of his death the said William G. Scott was owner of real estate and personal property to the value of $40,000.
The plaintiff further avers and says that on the 26th day of April, 1911, a certain instrument in writing, purporting to be the last will and testament of William G. Scott, was presented to the Clerk of the Court as the last will and testament of William G. Scott, on the above date was admitted to probate and that Stephen, G. White was appointed executor of said will and gave bond and was duly qualified and is still acting as such executor. The plaintiff further avers and says that said defendants, Mary Alice White, Nancy M. Scott and Scott R. Edwards, are legatees and divisees under said pretended will that said pretended will purported to dispose of all the said real property owned by the decedent at the time of his death. That the principal part of said property owned by William G. Scott at the time of his death was by the will given to the defendants, Mary Alice White, Nancy M. White and Scott R. Edwards, and a small part thereof was given to this plaintiff. The plaintiff alleges that the will is invalid for the following reasons set out in the complaint:
That said William G. Scott was of unsound mind at the time said pretended will was attempted to be executed. That the alleged execution of said will was obtained and procured by undue influence. That said will was unduly executed. The plaintiff asks that the will be declared invalid and the probate set aside and that the appointment of Stephen G. White, as executor, be held for naught.
Joshua Hall Barrett.
Joshua Hall Barrett was born in Green township, Hancock county, Indiana, on March 22, 1859, and died in Brandywine township, in the same county at 2:00 o'clock on the morning of April 29, 1911, aged 52 years, 1 month and 7 days. He left surviving him his wife, Iduna Barrett, one son, Harvey Newton Barrett four brothers, Harvey, Jesse, Joseph and Willard four sisters, Mrs. J. M. Oldendorf, of Riverside, Cal. Mrs. A. N. Rhue, of this county Miss Etta Barrett, of this city, and Mrs. J. F. Keating, of Los Angeles, Cal.
Joshua Hall Barrett was the fourth of eleven children born to Joseph and Jane Barrett. Joseph Barrett, the father, was of Irish descent, and came from the State of Virginia the mother, Jane Barrett, was of English blood and was born in the State of New York. These parents came to Indiana from the State of Virginia in 1834 and settled in Green township, where Joshua was born and where his boyhood days were spent. Joshua's boyhood days were those of the farm boy, working at home on the farm and. attending the common schools during the winter. These days he spent well, laying for himself that foundation which later made him the skilled farmer and teacher.
When 19 years old Joshua Barrett began teaching his first school, in Brown township in this county. He continued teaching in that township until about the year 1883, when he removed to Brandywine township and took charge of a school there. During this time he completed several Normal courses in this county he also, by his reading and study at home, made himself the ripe scholar that he was. Teaching in the winter, farming in the summer—this was his work until about seven years ago, when he gave up school work. The remainder of his life was given over to farming and to business, he taking an active part in the management of The Barrett Elevator Company, of this city, of which he was an officer and stockholder.
As he taught and as he farmed, as he engaged in business life, Joshua Barrett entered deeply into the life of the community around him. He loved to teach well, he loved to farm well, he
ia£:' b-n jgggH
loved to run business enterprise well yet, at the same time, he loved to go farther and to share the life of his neighbors and his friends. Genial, with enough humor to make life sweet, helpful, friendly, charitable, he entered fully into the community life in which he found himself and honest, sturdy, despising all deceit and all artificiality, he always made that life better for his presence. This interest in his work and in his community was appreciated and he was honored in many ways. At one time he was president of the Teachers' Association of Hancock County, and he has been, at different times, a member of numerous boards and committees whose aims were to make this city and county better.
Joshua Barrett also thoroughly believed in the people of his home county and as he lived and mingled with them he often said that nowhere were there better and more able people than here in Hancock county.
Joshua Barrett's interest in the life of his community led him into lodge work. On June 13, 1895, he was made a Master Mason in Hancock Lodge No. 101, Free and Accepted Masons, and later became a member of the Chapter, Eastern Star, Knights Templar, and the Order of the Mystie Shrine. He loved his lodge and its teachings, and from time to time filled some of its principal offices, -being, at the time of his death High Priest of the Chapter.
He was a lover of his home. In 1879 he was united in'marriage to Nettie J. Craig. To them was born one son, Harvey Newton Barrett. Within a short time the mother died. In 1887 he was united in marriage to Iduna Smith. He loved his home and his family, and as the days came when the son became grown and left the home to take his place in the business world, nothing' pleased the father more than the coming of the days when the visits of the son to the father and the mother once more made the home complete. He also delighted in recalling the old days when as a boy he would sit with his sisters and brothers at his mother's knees and listen to the Bible as she read it and passages read then remained in his memory to his death.
When about 16 or 17 years of age Joshua united with the Methodist Episcopal church at the old Center Grove church in Green township. Since then lie has always been interested in c-hur&h work. For a number of years just prior to his death he was a regular attendant of the Bradley Methodist Episcopal church of this city, and also a member and regular attendant of the American Bible Class of the Sunday school of that church' and until recently he taught a class of boys in that Sunday school. He believed in man, and he believed in man's life being true to his God. In his relationship to his Maker he was always keenly interested and ever anxious to see beneath all forms and artiflcialties the real truth and finding out that truth he was ever ready to live it. This attitude of mind and soul was still his through the days of his last sickness. To his friends who called, and to his wife he ever turned to the truths of life: 'Whatever the Almighty says, I say." 'It's the same Lord, but not the same Joshua. The Joshua part is about worn out." "Oh, Lord, forgive all my sins, and forgive everyone else's sins." "I'd like to live to be a hundred years old, if I could, and do all the good I can in the world."
These are some of the wrords of Joshua H. Barrett in the last days of his life as his mind and soul bought of their Maker.
Joshua H. Barrett would have liked to have lived longer he loved life, he loved to live, he wanted to do more good in the world. But He who controls the lives of men called Joshua home. And the life he lived to that Saturday morning has been good. Born of sturdy English and Irish blood, made strong by a boyhood upon the farm, educated well by his school work, his teaching, and his ever continued reading and study., endowed with a remarkable physique, and with a remarkable memory, made practical by his farm work, his business life, and by the spirit of the man, filled with a feeling of right and of justice, embued with a strong belief in the goodness and in the worth of his fellowmen and in the greatness of his God, Joshua H. Barrett brought to life's work that character and that ability which made for service and for efficiency. Wherever he was—whether on the farm, or in the school room, or in business life, or in the lodge room, or in,the church, Joshua H. Barrett was a man. He everywhere and always stood and labored for the highest and best in life and as he did this he was ev-
A
erywhere respected and esteemed as a straightforward, honest, Christian man whose word always rang true and whose presence was worth much to any cause.
FACTS WORTH KNOWING
Cohcerning Nature's Way to Health.
This is an age of progress in th~ world of medicine as well as in arts and science. Old customs, old hi its, old modes of life are giving way to new to keep pace with the onward march of progress.
Men of science are no longer hesitating to denounce the false theories of the past. Inventor, Edison, the electrical "wizard," among other things, says: "Medicine is played out. The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
These are strong words, and in the main an endorsement of osteopathy. Edison's position is one worthy of investigation by all seekers of health.
That the people are doing their own thinking now more than ever before is self evident. In
HO
age has non
medical methods of treatment been so promient. Even physicians themselves are quietly abandoning the use of drug remedies.
The old method of bleeding and purging, depleting the sick, keeping them in the dark with but little food and less water, filling their already weakened systems with large doses of calomel, antimony and arsenic, have gone forever.
It has been demonstrated that a thing may be both new and true. A description of an automobile would have shocked the wise men of long ago. Why not improve upon old methods of healing as well as upon old ways of locomotion?
Overwhelming proof prevails that osteopathy cures where other methods fail. It has been tested by all classes of people and tried in untold numbers of cases until its place in the realm of scientific therapeutics is abundantly proven to be superior to old methods.
This is a personal message to you, sick friend. Many sick people would get well if they only knew the osteopathic way, which is the surer and better way, yet it is unknown to many and there can be no reason for hesitating to tell others about it, You will do your friends a good turn to tell them of the praise-worthy work of the local osteopaths. Their offices, 29-30 New Block are completely equipped and up-to-date. They may be consulted Mondays and Thursdays without charge. tu&f&wtf
