Continuin’ Mr. Binkley said: " ■.■ ■ '''' C "After a feller gits thro’ sparkin' these days he's insolvent. Lots o’ good sensible fellers would like t’ git married bu,t they don’t feel able t’ spark.

MORTGAGING LIVES.

The day has long passed when it was popular to pay as you go. People don’t do that any more. That is one of the causes of the high cost of living. „ People nowadays are not only mortgaging their houses, they are mortgaging their lives and in many cases their very souls. The Rothschilds taught the world how to run so deeply into debt that it can never pay what it owes; but such debts must not be personal; they must be arranged so that everybody’s earnings are mortgaged says the Calumet Record. *The English people, for instance, owe $6,600,000,000, “a sum which has never been repaid and can never be repaid.” That is, the principal, can not be paid—but the English people in time will pay it all several times over in interest. England paid in 1911 alone about $200,000,000 in interest on its debt. The French owe more than. $7,000,000,000. The Germans owe about $4,000,000,000. All these debts are based on Rothschild’s great little idea. 22r We do not owe so much, but then we started late—we are on our way now. though, and going strong. We ewe about $2,000,000,000. The interest on that is only about 5 0 cents day a family. It will grow. These figures are from an article in Pearson’s: magazine, ■:2

Voters are tickled to death to vote for bonds, city bonds, county, sanitary district, parks, harbors, subways—any old thing. Politicians are ALWAYS in favor of all kinds of bonds. This means lots of public money to spend in graft, fat contracts, etc., etc. I Only the tax payer objects. He ( gets hit first. For the interest on these bonds must be paid, you know. It doesn’t come out of the air. Bonds mean interest, which means higher taxes, w-hich means higher rents, which means higher prices for every- ■ thing, which means more bonds, which means, etc. Principles which apply in daily, business affairs seem to be forgotten by the voter in the booth. He ch6er-; fully bonds his future, bonds his children into debt, bonds posterity. Is there no limit? Constitutional limitations are evaded by the very simple act of; boosting the valuation of taxable' property. Does that make the prop- j erty worth more? No, it does not. 1 That merely means higher taxes and more bonds.—Lake County Tinies.

Obituary.

Mrs. Lucia M. Keener was born in Frazeysburg, Muskingum county, Ohio. March the 21, J 834), and died at the home of her duaghter in Fair Oaks,lnd., Feb. 10, 1914, aged 83 years, 10 months and 20 days. She was the daughter of Brunson and Catherin Harrington, who were early pioneer settlers in northern Jasper county and who died many years ago. , She was married to Jacob\keener in Union county, Ohio, Apf-il 7, 1850. To this union three children were born, two of which preceded her into the life beyond, leaving as the sole survivor of her family Mrs. Francina Allen of Fair Oaks, Ind. She emigrated with her husband from Ohio to Indiana in June, 1855, settling in northern Jasper county on a piece of wild land adjoining the village of Virgie, and now known as the old Keener place. Their marriage proved to be a happy one and together they lived in perfect harmony until the death of Mr. Keener, which occurred at Fair Oaks, Dec. 4, 1905. ’At the time of their settlement in Jasper

cinnamon drops, spruce gum, autograph albums, an’ natural complexions, a feller had a chance t’ win a heart without th' use o’ dancin' pumps, or without neglectin'his business an’ denyin’ himself many o’ th’ real necessities o’ life. Love makin’ wuz almost self sustainin’ in 1880. lrl -rls looked ahead o’.ther noses, an’ th feller who gave promise o' bein’ able t’ support a wife eventually wuz treated like one o' th’ boys. Girls didn t make love o er th’ chop stiey bowl or in a secluded alcove o' th’ stuffy ballroom. An’ they didn’t expect t’ git on th’ outside of a few cocktails an’ a filet mignon after ever’ performance o’ th’ Two Orphans or East Lynne. Th’ parlor or th' narrow livery rig wuz th’ clearin’ house fer affairs o’ th’ heart. "What s th' sense o’ exhaustin’ all gh’ pleasures o’ life durin' th’ first few months o’ courtship an’ finally marryin’ t’ git rid o’ each other? by not save a few pleasures besides Niagara Falls t’ look forward t’ after you’ve satisfied th’ instalment houses? Marriage at best is quite a comedown fer most any girl, specially if her engagement period has been long an’ riotious an’ up-t’-dat,e. An when th tale tellin’ furrows o’ •are an’ disappointment begin’ t’ appear in her face an’ she appeals t’ a young husband fer a new pair o’ shoes, it haipt goin’ t’ git him nothin t say, ‘huzn I alius good t’ you in th’ ole days, Nell’? It's fer better t’ have loved an’ kept still about it than it is t' stall along on nothin’.”

county it was a wild, uninhabited region, and for this reason they were compelled to endure all the disadvantages, privations and hardships that are incidental to pioneer life. Mr. and Mrs. Keener in early life embraced the Christian religion and united with the Christian or Disciple church, and during all the years that followed, though deprive' much ol the time ol church privileges they never faltered in their devotion to their church or to each other; they were always ready to give their money, time or service to any cause that had for its object the uplift of humanity. Aunt Lucia Keener, as she was familiarily known, had her sorrows but she always took an optimistic view of life and cheerfully submitted to the inevitable. Since the death of her husband earth seemed to hold no charms for her. and she has often expressed a desire for the messenger to some and call her to join that “innumerable company of saints and angels and spirits of just men made perfect.” No doubts ever seemed to assail her but with child-like trust and simplicity she accepted as literally true the declaration of Him who said: "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth on Me though he die, yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth and believeth on Me shall never die.” Her charity was as unbounded as space and continually welling up like a mighty fountain. It seemed that; no difference how far away ono might go, she was always ready to believe there were extenuating circumstances surrounding them, and if any one ever had that charity “that thinks no evil ’ she certainly possessed it to a pre-eminent degree. To her friends still battling with the storms of life on the shores of time, her pure, sweet life must ever piove an inspiration beckoning them onward and upward. In addition to her only child, she has one brother, C. A. Harrington, six grandchildren, sixteen great grandchildren and fouV great-great grand childern, besides a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her Idss. The funeral was held at the Chrisiian church Thursday morning at 10:30, Rev. Chas. W. Postilh pastor Of the M. E. church conducted the services. Interment at the Prater cemetery. W. J. Wright of Rensselaer, was funeral director, xx
