husband died when the children were young and she was again left to fight life’s battles alone anil finish rearing her children. Three of these children are still living, James having died a few years ago ami can testify as to how faithfully and well this mother performed all the duties that came to her hands, and in addition to the raising of her own children, she has had almost the sole care of a grandchild, Walter, since he was one year old. In 1889 she united with the M. K. Church at Waynesville, Missouri, and then in 1915 went into the Baptist church at that place, and in all this time she has lived a true Christian life. She was a great student of the Bible and while, the old book contained many mysteries which she could not understand, yet she read it faithfully and interpreted it as best -he could. She was a quiet, unassuming woman, honest, industrious and a thorough Christian. What more could be said? She has lived with her children at Putnamvilie for the last three years. Her sickness extended over a period of several months, yet she bore it patiently and met it bravely as she had met all the trials and troubles that had come up in her life. A few days before her death she seemed to know the end was near and made all the arrangements for her funeral and gave her last advice to her loved ones. She told the sons and grandsons she wanted them to live right and prepare to meet her in that land where she was soon going. She leaves four children, Mrs. Nora Alexander and Robert DeLong of Putnamvilie, Ben of St. Louis, Mo., and Henry of La Salle, III.; 18 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren, one half-sister Sarah Burchard of Crocker, Missouri, one half-brother, Marion Forbes of Waynesville, Mo., and a large number of neighbors and
friends.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 16. (CP)—The Shanghai Municipal Jail, a block of buildings in the Wayside district housing lawbreakers sentenced for crimes committed in the Intermational Settlement, is the largest prison of its kind in China and the most congested. According to statistics obtained by the United Press, the Municipal Jail to ay houses 4.<HM) Chinese criminal-. It was built almost 20 years ago for the accommodation of an estimat-
ed average of 1.800.
The crowded state of the prison, where two and even three men are confined in the one-man cells—four feet wide and six feet long—is to be relieved gradually under piesent municipal plans, hut the.-e are lieing j hampered by refusal of owners of ad-1 joining sites to part with their land. The Shanghai Municipal Council, how-1 ever, ha- been successful in purchasing two adjoining blocks ami addition-! al buildings which will accomodate j 1,000 prisoners are under construction.! The new stiucturcs will form aj wing of the pre-ent prison and are scheduled for completion the latter part of this year.
