Penny, was born Oct. 1864, and was reared here in Stanford,hav ing been educated in the Stan ford Female College, from which she graduated with honors. In her early life she was converted and became a member of the Baptist church with her father and mother. She was always characterized by her pride and ambition and hence her school and church life manifested these traits of character. On Oct. 14, 1884, she was married to Rev. R. B. Mahoney in the church that she loved by the same man who baptized her, Rev. J. M. Bruce. To them were born four children, two of whom died in infancy and were awaiting her coming on the other shore, and two, Misses Marie and Virginia, with her af fectionate husband, loving moth er and two brothers. W. B. and G. L. Penny, and a large circle of relatives and friends are left to mourn her death. which oc cuarred Aug. 1, 1904. Mrs. Mahoney was of a bright, cheerful disposition; loved her home with a mother's love; was the joy and pride of her husband, at whose side she so faithfully stood through his pastorates of the First Baptist church at Newport, Ky., Colum bia,Tenn., and Carthage, Tenn., where on account of his, Bro. Mahoney's, failing health and at the earnest solicitation of her father, they returned to her fath er's home to recuperate. Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney have both been frail of health. Through all this she was his inspiration and sun shine, laughing away the "blues" and bringing good cheer and joy to him at all times, as well as ministering to him faithfully in his times of sickness as well as health. She loved and almost idolized her children and they in return found in her a companion and friend as well as mother. She loved her church and was al ways in her place, which was in the choir, for she loved to sing, and led the choir. and did. it well unless prevented by sickness or other providence. She was one of our faithful Sunday School teachers and has left a class of little girls which her little daugh ter, Virginia, was one, She took a great deal of pride and pains in her teaching and also in hav ing them memorize Scripture verses. Dear little ones, in the language of the old Psalmist, as quoted by little Virginia, "You can't bring her baek, but can go to her" a id God grant that there may be a glad reunion of teadh er and scholars on the beautiful shore. She was also an active member of the Aid Society, fill ingthe office of secretary and was also a member of the Missionary Society, but she is not now, for God took her. She will be miss edby her pastor, church, society and friends and on what shall we say about her dear husband, chil dren, mother and brothers? Does not her memory comfort you and her accomplishments inspire you to over come, as she did, and her ambition encourage you to be brave and attempt great things? Her Savior will hold you, the Holy Spirit will com fort. His promises will support you and his love reconcile you and at last in his own good time e will bring you all together in the mansions above. Oh, listen to God as he speaks to us by this sad providence. Let him teach us the lesson that he would have us learn, that we may be ready to answer when he calls "Come home" At their home on Danville Ave nue on Wednesday afternoon at 3 p. in., in the presence of a very large and sorrowing congrega tion the funeral was conducted by her, pastor, assisted by Rev. Hagan, who read the 23rd Psalm, after which, Rev. Glass led in a tender helpful prayer and then a quartette, consisting of Mrs. Dr. Cook, Mr. M. S. Baughman and Messrs. Win. Wearen and Thos. Raney, sang "Go bury thy sor row," and then the pastor made some remarks based upon Jer. 15:9-"her sun is gone down while it was yet day," and then Rev. Mr. Argebright sang ten derly and sweetly "Sometime we will understand." This was fol lowed by some very touching and tender remarks by Dr. Shelton our Father in Israel. and the services closed at the house by the quartette singing one of her favorite songs that she often sang at our church service--"Oh City of Jasper Walls" and then began the removal of the beauti ful fowers, which hid from view the casket 'in which she lay as if asleep. The casket was closed and her face was hidden from the family and friends that loved her so dearly. But we shall see her face again all resplendent in glory in the land above. Then began the moving of the great train of carriages that reached almost from the home to the cemetery, where in a grave lined with myrtle and roses her body was deposited and then the sad returning to home where the empty chair was found and the cheerful face, the laughing voice and cheery spirit are no more. She will be missed, but your loss is her gain and as sweet little Virginia says, you can't bring her back but you can go to her, -0. M. Huey, Interior Journal, Stanford Ky., Nearly Forfeits His Life.

The Third Ward Union Roches ter N. Y. have provided the city with a splendid drinking foun tain. The W. C. T. U. will furn ish Ice with which to cool the water. The Louisiana state union is rejoicing in an anti-gambling victory, the outlawing of the turf exchange and the pool room. This legislation goes into effect Aug. 6. At the recent meeting of the state W. C. T. U. of N. H. it was decided to hold a series of tem perance meetings at the several Chautauquas held throughout the state. Mrs. Jennie H. Sibley, presi dent of the W. C. T. U. of Geor gia, has secured the services of Mrs. Susana M. D. Fry as lectur er at the next annual gathering at Eatman. This union has a membership of 107 and is the banner union of the state. The Southern liquor dealers published at New Orleans, says that Georgia and Mississippi are dead so far as the liquor busi ness is concerned aid at the pres ent rate of progress it will only be a few years till all Kentucky will be dry except the larger cities. It is gratifying to know that the morning for dead hopes and ambitions is no longer con fined exclusively to the families and friends of those who have forfeited business prospects and imperiled souls salvation as the price of their contribution to the prosperity of the drunkard mak er. The town of Newbern, N. C.,in the tide-water section, voted out the saloons by a sweeping major ity. Immediately following this, Charlotte had almost as great a majority in wiping out the sa .oons. The fight is on at Wil ington also, -which city is said to have more saloons per capita than any other town in the state. The temperance forces all over the state are at work. Relation of W. C. T. U. to Church. What is the Woman's Christian Temperance Union ? It is an or gaization of Christian women banded together for the protec tion of the home, the abolition of the liquor traffic and the triumph of Christ's golden rule in custom and in law. Every Christian, whether man or woman, will pray for the sal vation of the sinner, for the re form of the drunkard while it is through Christ that the drunk ard receives his reform the salva tion of his soul. Yet as long as the liquor traffic is allowed to foat over the country, the drunk ard does not stand as good a chance of reform as if there was not so much ligaor to be had. What is the Christians duty to do in order to hely to abolish tee saloons from our land? Vote as you pray. How many Chris tians have we today, who will pray for a temperance wave to foat over our country and de stroy the saloons and wipe out liquor traffic. Yet when election day comes, they never fail to vote to license the whiskey man, and so long as our dear brothers do this the saloon keeper will pay his license and go on~ destroy ing our young boys just as much through the help of the church members, as through the world. The Woman's Christian Tem perance Union endeavers faith fully and constantly, to uphold the standard of pi-ohibition as a part of the religion of Christ, urging that the temperance work s a part of the work of the hurch just the same as the mis sionaries and other benevolent societies. We are bounded together as a great league of Christian wonien in a sisterhood of service. The W. C. T. U. has enlisted women of all nations in one of the widest missionary efforts of the day, and our petitions to all govern ments to terminate the evil of strong drink has been signed by over seven million women and is written in 50 different languages, and we ask every woman that feels interested in the great work of humanity to unite with us for as the waves of the mighty ocean dashing against the shores, gather the sands and pblsthat form the Islands, Hills and Continents, so are we here and there uniting the forces Iof a mighty wave of temperance Iand purity that will finally sweep the rum power, with all its dead ly evils, from our land and we ask our brothers to come out and help us in this one of the great est of God's works. We sincerely solicit the help of the church for it is the duty of the church to uphold this great union of wvo man in its great work of saving men from a drunkard's grave. Every church has and supports its missionaries, sends them into the world to preach the gospel to the heathens to show them the way to Christ and so should every church have in connection with its other benevolent socie ties a Woman's Christian Tem perance Union.

A Cowardly Tribe That Sacrifices Itm Children and Cattle. A cowardly tribe in the interior of Africa, the ILorans. is thus described by a British explorer: "They carry long spears with huge blades, which look grotesque in the hands of such a craven race. They wear loose knickers of American cotton cloth and a wrap of the same material over their shoul ders. These garments are treated with 'ghi' (butter) till they look like black waterproof. This American cloth is very durable and is the only cloth for which there is any demand. It is the ordinary medium of exchange among the tribes from Dirri to the coast. The Boran either shaves his head or keeps his hair short or long in ghi covered ringlets, but he always wears a small pigtail. He ornaments himself with a necklace of small beads or plaited giraffe tall hairs; also with many heavy bracelets of metal and ivory, which often incase his arm up to the elbow. Each of these is supposed to represent some dangerous animal, in. cluding man, which he has slain. Bands and tabs of giraffe skin com plete his costume." Borans are polygamists if they can afford the luxury. Their women have to content themselves with leather gar ments made of bullock hides scraped thin, clothing being considered much too valuable for them. They are weigh ed down with many bead necklaces. Their religion consists in a belief in a spirit, "Wak." The vagueness of their conception of "Wak" is shown by the fact that the same word Is used in the Boran tongue for the sky. They do not believe in any future state of ex istence, but try to avert present calam ty by propitiating Wak. This is done by sacrificing their children and their cattle. A Boran of any standing when he marries becomes a "raba," and for a certain period after marriage, proba bly four to eight years, he is obliged to leave any children that are born to him to die in the bush. No Boran cares to contemplate the fearful calamities with which Wak would visit him if he failed in this duty. After the "raba" period the Boran becomes a "gudda." "This word," says the traveler who describes the natives, "happens to be the Hindoostanee for 'ass,' but if there were any connection the Boran would certainly be entitled to the rank earlier in life." Wak has no claim on Gudda's children, but nei ther has Gudda himself. He has to send them off at a very early age with a present of cattle and sheep to be brought up by the wata, who are the low bunter caste of the Borans. They remain with these people till they are grown up and then return to the bosom of their people. Napoleon's Pime Essay. Napoleon I. gained a prize as a boy from the Academy of Lyons for the best paper in answer to the question, "What are the truths and principles that ought to be inculcated in men that they may enjoy happiness?" Fifty louis he received for his effort. He mentioned the matter with a little pride one day In the presence of Tal leyrand. The latter paid no obvious heed at the time, but a few days later he called on the emperor and handed him the manuscript of his boyish es say. He had just obtained it from the academy at Lyons. "Havo you read It?" asked Napoleon as be took the paper. "No. sire; I have just received it." Napoleon at once threw the paper on the fire. Talleyrand, nat'uraly pained and hurt, flushed up, but Na poleon explained: "I did not wish to let any one see the paper. It .was written when I was very young and might expose me to ridicule as em peror." A Scotch School Story. Dr. Kerr, a Scotch minister, tells this stry of his visit to a village school: "The lesson was one giving an account of a clever dog which had rescued a child from drowning. It was said that the dog was caressed by the par ents of the child. I asked what was the meaning of caressed, and the an swer came at once, 'Made of fond led.' On referring to the list of words at the top of the lesson I found the ex planation given was 'made of, fondled.' Wishing to find out if any child in the class had got a glimmering of the meaning, I went from top to bottom and got from every child nothing but 'made of fond led,' pronounced as four words, to which they attached no meaning whatever. The teacher was surprised that I was not satisfied with the intelligence of the teaching." Japanese swerdu. Unlike the famous blades of Toledo and Damascus, Japanese swords are not flexible or elastic. Th~ey are un equaled for strength and hardness and bold a very keen edge. Japanese steel is said to -excel even Swedish steel in purity. The manufacture of the swords is a very elaborate proseese. Some ceremonlals and superstitious practices are intermixed with the scien tie operations. The sword hardener is regarded as the most important per sonage connected with the manufac ture. It is his name that Is inscribed on the hilt and his reputation that en hances the value of a sword. Those who shape the blade, sharpen and adorn it are of minor importance. The Thirsty Elm. It has been computed that if the leaves of an elm tree sixty feet high were spread out on the ground edge to edge they would cover five acres of land. These leaves, averaging 7,000,000 to a full grown tree, will absorb water to the amount of seven tons during thc normal summer day. Were it not for the ingathering by thc stomaata during the night a few elms wvouid soon draw off all the water from a district. Taken With Cramps. Wmn. Kirmse, a mrember of the bridge gang working near Littleport was taken suddenly ill Thursday night with cramps and a kind of cholera. His case was so -severe that he had to have the members of the crew wait upon him and Mr. Gifford was called and consulted. He told them he had a medicine in the form of Chamnberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarr-hoea Remedy that he thought would help him out and accordingly several doses were ad ministered with the result that the fel low was able to be around next day. The incident speaks quite highly oi Mr. Gifford's medicines. - Elkader. Iowa, Argus Violent Attack of Diarrhoea Cured by Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and Perhaps a Life Saved. "*A short time ago I was taken with a violent attack of diarrhoea and believe I would have died if I bad not gotten - relief," says John J. Patton, akading citizen of Patton. Ala. "A friend rec ommended Chamberlain's Colic. Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy. I bought i a twenty-five cent bottle and after tak inz three doses of it was entirely cured. I 'consider it the best remedy in the world for bowel complaints. For sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. the practices for which he was im peached. a tragic destiny which broke Iitt's heart. It was the Times which startled the world one morning by an nouncing that Peel would repeal the corn laws. It was the Times which published the Berlin treaty in London two hours before it was signed in Ber lin. It was the Times correspondent in Paris to whom Alfonso XII., leaning against the mantelpiece in his study, told the story of the coup d'etat in Madrid which had made him king of C Spain. It was in the Times that Charles Dickens wrote the burning letters .which brought an end to public execu tions. It was in the Times that Lord Brougham, Macaulay, Disraeli, Dean Stanley, Cardinal Newman and a host of famous men-were proud to write. It was the Times that saved the world from one of the greatest catas trophies that could have occurred in modern Europe. All the world knows the story now, but the thought of the French scare sends a thrill through the chancelleries even today. It was Bis marck who this time was behind the C Times-Bismarck, the founder of the German empire, who saved that em pire from itself and revealed to the e correspondent of the Times the terrible plot which would have crippled France a second time. Jealous of Moltke and perhaps hon estly detesting his fiendish conspiracy against a conquered foe rapidly regain ing her strength, Prince Bismarck let Blowitz know, and Blowitz, the Paris echo of the "Voice of Europe," told It to the world. Those who remember the middle seventies remember yet the effect of the thunderbolt which the Times hurled against Count von Moltke. The Times has missed its chance sometimes. In 1892 its editor received a long letter forecasting the alliance of Russia and France, but as nobody but the writer seemed to believe it the edi tor kept it back until 1897, when it announced, with the rest of the papers, that the Franco-Russian alliance was a an established fact. If it has lost prestige in error it has sacrifced itself not once or twice, but many times, for peace and the welfare of the world. One of the most graphic stories in journ'lism is of the foreign minister who sent for the Times cor respondent and shouted a challenge to England In his ears, who flourished a bundle of telegrams in the journalst's face and declared that "- -- should pay for it." The correspondent went not to the telegraph office, but to bed, and the world was no wiser the next morning for the angry scene of the night before, which, hadit-been known,a almost certainly must have caused2 war.a It is something surely to have record ed for so many years the affairs of the a whole world. It is something more to have been through all these genera tions a fearless critic of pr'inces and j kings and the enemy of wrong. . "We thundered forth the other day," wrote Captain Sterling in a "leader" which give the Times its nickname, "an article on the subject of social and political reform," and the Times -Is "thundering- forth" still. The world has changed, and the Times moves with the times, but its ancient glory has not passed, and there is not a liv ig Englishman who would gladly let die the wonderful paper which gives! us today and builds up for posterity the history of the world while it is be ing made.-London Mail. The Spanish Way.* Some years ago an Englishman when traveling in Spain fell in with a mem ber of the national parliament who op posed the government. There had been a dissolution of parliam~ent, and the Englishman asked the Spaniard if he would be re-elected. "Oh, no," he said, "there Is not a chance of it." Present ly they arrived at the principal town of this gentleman's constituency, and he received a regular ovation on his way to the hotel. "Surely," said the Englishman, "you are mistaken. You seem extremely popular here." "Oh, yes," was the reply. "I am very popu lar, but I wont get in nevertheless." "How will the government prevent your getting in?" was the rejoinder. "Oh, they have all kinds of methods. I will tell you one. They will fix a polling place in such and such a barn. A large and very fierce mastiff is kept there, -and when any one likely to vote for me makes'Ihis appearance they will let the beast loose." No Cofree or Dessert In Japa. Col'ee is not popular in Japan. When guests arrive for a dinner party they are received in an anteroom and imn mediately served with tea and cakes before entering the banquet hall. The cups in which the tea Is served are very small and of the finest procelain. They have no. handles, but are passed on metal trays, which take the form of a leaf. The tea is brewed directly in the little cups and served without sugar or cream. Dessert, so dear to the occidental housewife, is also un known in Japan. At informal dinners rice forms the last course. It would be a breach of etiquette to serve the little cakes which come before dinner with the tea during this final course. The Wink Test. I t is easy," said an oculist, "to tell what kind of light most thoroughly suits your eyes. The light that Is best for you is the one wherein you wink least. The wink, you see, is the eye's sign of weariness. I have experiment ed on myself, and I find that an ele~e rinc light is even better for my eyes than daylight. In daylight I wink I two and eight-tenths times a minute, t whereas in an electric light I only wink one and eight-tenths times. Can dle light is bad for me. In it I give six and a half winks a minute. Gaslight Is better, for in it I only give two and f a third winks."f Better Than Gold. 1I was tr-oubled for- several years with chronic indigestion and nervous debil ity." writes F. J. Green of Lancaster. N. H. "No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, which did more good than all the medicines I ever usd. They have also kept my wife ing excellent health for years. She says Electric Bitters are just splendid for 0 female troubles; that they are a grand tonic and invigorator for weak, run 3 down women. No other medicine can take its place in our family."
