I’he stoiui of last Sabbath
tested the bravery and loyalty i
of the people, and as usual
those who faced its hardships
were not disappointed and found
the services specially helpful
and encouraging. The building
committee resumed its delibera
tions this week and are again
taking up the problems of plans
suitable to our needs, and the
means for raising the necessary
money. They will need all the
encouragement we can give them
in their work. Next Sabbath
morning the pastor will preach
on'‘Teachings peculiar to.leses’’
and in the evening “The Slough
of Despond, how we get into it,
and how to get out again, and
keep out.’’ Our Sabbath school
will bear still further improve
ment, as we need more of the
larger people to attend its ses
sion, and then more of our chil
dren to get the habit of attend
ing church service instead of
going home at II o’clock. Our
worship is public, our Seats are
all free, and our welcome is ex.
tended to rich and poor, friend
and stranger alike,

ST. THOMAS CHI NCH
Dear parishioners: As the
lover and watchman of your
souls. 1 pray you to make this a
real Lent. Hate and avoid the
awful sham of pretending to
keep the sacred season with
“extraordinary acts and exer
cises of devotion," while secret
ly consulting your own conven
ience and Indulging your ordi
nary appetites of the llesh and
mind.
Lent is a season of humanity,
of self-denial, of renewed conse
cration. of faithful service. Try
9
to realize the spirit of (lie time
m all your religious duties and
observances. By real self Ue
nial and real devotion to Christ,
try to get nearer to God and
come into touch with His Holy
Spirit. Beware lest you receive
the grace of God in vain!
Be diligent in attending the
Lenten services, that y o u r
minds may be drawn more fre
quently to spiritual things. Do
not let small inconveniences
and obstacles hinder you from
coming to God's house. Let
self denial begin just here, that
it may spread over the whole
compass of thoughts and Life.
Make this Lent a real work
of devotion, so that with the
Lord you may have a holy and
happy L ister. Your Friend and
Hector.

\1 v IVar Mother
Arrived in Tanger this morning
at S:d5 a. m. and found it i retty
chilly and cold
Went ashore at 1 :.>0 p. in., on
liberty until 5;30 p. in. and am all
tired out from climbing up and
down hills, over uneven cobble
stones, getting humped in the
back and trod on by donkeys and
camels. ' The streets are from
fifteen to thirty feet wide and
packed with throngsof merchants,
beggars and fakirs. It had Cairo
defeated when it comes to being
cosmopolitan. They will take
any money that was ever stamped
out bv any country in payment
for their wares- On the old slave
market, now used as a produce
trading mark, you can see them
bartering fish for fruits, etc. It
certainly is interesting to be a
looker-on and take note of the
novel sights.
I walked all o\*er and went to
the prison and saw the convicts
working. Was a very tilths' place.
Addressed my postals at the Ame
rican Consulate thereafter wrang
ling prices for halt an hour over
a queer tom-tom for a souvenir,
all oyer a shilling. He wanted
four from the most gracious and
honorable American and 1 would
give but a shilling. The same
old story in these countries. 1
got the article at my price with a
thousand blessings.
We leave tomorrow at 2 p. in.
for Gibraltar Hay to join the fleet
After coaling up and taking on
fresh provisions, then for Hamp

going across the Atlantic.
Will close now- Keep well and

DIED AT SALEM
She Leaves a Husband And Two
Children
The entire community of Salem
sustained a very sad shock when
news was received that Alice
j Kelly was dead. Full of life but
a few days ago it came as a great
surprise and it is hard to realize
that she is no more. Alice Ad
ams was born Dec. Kith, 1SGG,
died at the home of her mother
near Salem. Wednesday, Feb. 10,
1000, age 40 years, 1 month and
1s days. She was married to
James Kelly. March S, IS,so, and
to this union were born a son and
daughter, both of whom are liv
ing to mourn the loss of a loving
mother,
Mrs. Kelly was converted to
i Christ twenty-four years ago and
was baptized by the Rev. W. N.
Potter, and united with the Chris
tian Church, of which she has
ever been a iaithful, true and con
sistent member. That the com
munity has sustained a great loss
is attested by the fact that she
was universally loved.
To the faithful husband and
sorrowing children will the loss
be irreparable and no finer tribute
could be (laid a wife than the
words of her husband, which is a
testimony of her faithfullness
“She has been a consistant Chris
tian and has done nothing to
j cause regret.”
She was a faithful worker in
j Church, IJible School and Society
and her presence will be sorely
j missed, but more than all. in the
I home, for she manifested a great
| love for the notne and there will
tier loss be more keenly felt, and
to the sorrowing husband and
i children is extended the love and
sympathy of the entire com
munity.
She leaves beside the husband
and children, a mother, three sis
ters, three brothers and a host of
relatives and friends to mourn her
loss.
The funeral services were con
ducted from the Christian church
at Salem. Thursday,* Feb. 11. at'
2 p m. by the Kev. F. Ellsworth I
Day. of Falls City.
The floral offerings were very
beautiful and were a silent testi
mony of the tender love and sym
pathy o! the entire community.
May the loving Father give help
and strength to the loved ones in
this hour of sorrow is the prayer
ol all.
BIG LAND DEAL
Mr Ulmer Pays $25,600 For The
Hummel Farm
What mav be regarded as the j
biggest land transaction ever
made in this vicinity occurred this
week, when Emanuel Ulmer pur
chased the W. G. Hummell farm
I consisting of one-hundred and
sixty acres, adjoining his farm,
tor twenty-five thousand six hun
dred dollars. Mr. Hummell gets
the use of the farm until March
of next year free of charge.
This is the largest price ever
paid for a farm in this vicinity,
but the place is well worth it, con
sidering the quality of the soil
and the improvements.
Mr. Ulmer now owns four hun
dred acres of the finest farming
I • • ^
land in Richardson county. He
has his original place of one-hund
red and sixty acres, an eighty on
the south of that, and the Hum
mel place, adjoining his farm on
‘ the west- This makes his place
| worth close to seventy-five thous
and dollars, and places him in the
list of large land holders of the
county.
Mr. Hummell will farm another
year, and will then doubtless re
tire and enjoy the fruits of his
labors. —Dawson News Boy.

DRAMATIC RECITAL
Kansas City Journal Says Clark is a
Distinguished Reader
' There are those who contend
that for intellectual and imagin
utive people the reading of a
play is better than the acting.
The question is a debateable
nnc, and some distinguished
authorities have taken opposite
sides in the discussion. Doubt
less those who contend for the
acted drama have the advan
tage tor the simple reason that
there are so few opportunities
to hear a play well read, Such
an opportunity was presented
last evening by S. H. Clark. He
is a distinguished reader and
1 teacher. He is a man of scholar
ly attainments and artistic dis
crimination, tie is surprising
ly successful in his interpreta
tion of the several characters,
and also in his presentation of
the story. He is modest in his
personations, and yet by skilful
modulations of voice -or rather
from character conceptions that
make their own modulations -
he detines his people and pres
ents the temperamental con
trasts, the varying motives and
the poetic beauties of the play,
in such a way as to hold even
an audience that would not be
classed as a gathering of stu
dents.’’ Kansas City Journal.
“Ma s New Husband
Do you want to see the tunni
est lesson ever given a boy by
his teacher? Do you want to
see the most old-fashioned and
cunning boy that ever took a
lesson from a teacher? Then do
not fail to see the performance
of “Mas New Husband" at the
Gehling Theater. Thursday eve
ning. Feb. 25, the only chance
that will be offered to >ee it in
this city. At tirst sight these
questions may seem irrelevant,
but when you are let into the!
secret that the boy in question]
is really a full grown man in
boy’s clothes, you will begin'to
see the humorous side of the
scene. The bouts between these
two are brimful of njirtii and
they form only a small portion
of the lud e: ous happenings that:
occur during the performance of
this entertaining musical farce.
tUlur cities highly praise the
members of the company pro
vided by Managers Scott it Kay
