Man Pictures Death After Heart Stopped Arley, Kng., 'Feb. 8.?England tonight had the word of John Puckering, who liked being dead so well he's uorry they brought him back to life, that everybody is "supremely happy" in the world to come. Puckering's picture of the hereafter, as he saw it during four and one-1 half minutes his heart was stopped ; while he lay on un operating table, was painted in these words: "During those five minutes or so, 1 was worried and disturbed. Suddenly everything cleared and I was filled I with great content. "I knew I was dead because I saw I muny villagers of Arley (where they I were all huppy, und 1 was happy, I too." "There were hundreds of smiling faces in a bank of hazy, shining clouds," Puckering asserted. Dr. C. Perceval Mills, whose massage of Puckering's heart gave the gardener his unusual opportunity to bear witness to the life after death, insisted there was nothing "out of the ordinary" about the matter. The thousands of happy people he saw, among whom were old acquaintances, all "seemed to be in a big hall with pillars of clouds and all mixed up in a sort of hazy light," he said. "I was drifting toward them when suddenly everything went black. They had brought me back to life." "I was never extraordinarily religious," Puckering continued, "nor had I ever any active interest in spiritualism. But now I'm convinced there is another world, for what I saw was as realistic as my back garden. j "Wbat I saw during my brief spell of death made me regret that I ever came back. I was surrounded by thousands of people, all supremely happy xxx. They nodded and smil- I ed, so happily that I was overjoyed to be dead. "The grave has no terrors for me now. I realize that earthly life, sorrowful as it can be is just a training ground for something fuller and better." 1 WITH OTHER .PAPERS Before marriage a man yearns for u woman; after marriage he earns for her.?Columbia State.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER Turning fmrn city newspapers to small town pfess exchanges that come to the editor's desk is like stepping i from the slums, full of vice, into an old-fashioned garden sweet with lavender and thyme and the scent of pe-enniai flowers. The pages of the big dailies are so full of murder, thievery, immorality and selfishness that the better news is obscured by these glaring shatterings of the Decalogue. One puts the papers aside with a feeling of depression and heartache that the world is full of terrible and unhappy things. Then picking up the papers that record the happenings of the little towns around us. one gains renewed faith :r. life. Here are set forth only that which uplifts a community?the activities of the businessmen, the church items, the happy social gathering> of the people, the marriages, births and deaths, farmer's items, and all the thousand and one daily occurences that make up the simple annals of the great common people who are really the foundation of this broad country of ours. Sometimes people speak lightly of tthe country newspapers, but it is one of the most potent and uplifting factors in our national existence.?Christian Science Monitor. A thief or thieves stole t.he typewriter out of the office of a branch of a national detective agency in Atlanta, Ga., and the detective in charge asked local police to help him find the machine. Fire started in a warehouse at Frederick. Md., and when firemen chopped holes in the ice of a creek to get water they discovered their water pumps frozen. The property loss was $3,500. Arthur Brisbane in his column Saturday referred to an incident that occurred a few days ago in Chicago, which certainly offers food foi* thought. A crazed mother and her crippled son, when refused aid, killed an investigator, as we remember the incident, and then went to the relief offices and shot three persons there. Failure to secure the help they wanted and thought they should have was at the bottom. Mr. Brisbane speaks about the difficulty of tapering off from a whiskey diet, or the drug habit, and says "easy government money" creates equally as serious a problem. Mr. Brisbane goes on to say: "Multiply that 1,000,000, or 5,000,000, and you would have real trouble."
