David Erwin of Mason was called upon to attend a double funeral Sundaymdashthat of the wife of his brother William and his sister Mrs Gillivray

Mrs Wm Erwin died at her home in Detroit and Mrs McGil-livray went to Detroit to accomshypany the funeral oarty to Jackson for the buriaU wlTich was to take place on Saturday

When the train bearing the party was near Ann Arbor Mrs McGil-livray- was taken suddenly ill with heart trouble and in a few minshyutes was dead

Adouble funeral was held at Jackson Sunday at the First Conshygregational chutch at 2i0 oclock

Mrs McGillivray was well known in Jackson where her husband for many years conducted the Amerishycan House She is also remembered by many in Mason where she was a frequent visitor when Mr Ershywin conducted a hotel liero

A most peculiar feature conshynected with the death of the two Women was the fact that Mr and Mrs McGillivray and Mr and Mrs lirwin jointly owned a lot at Mt Evergreen cemetery Jackson Mr McGillivray was laid to rest there about four years ago and Mr Ershywin last spring

Ve startofl from Williamston on Oct 25 via PlymouUi and Toledo to Cincinnati Ohio where we stopped until the next evening and CO ciiued our journey over the Queen und Crescent Ry one of the best roads in the south to Tus-c josi the former capitol of Al-nbima The old state liouse is still Rtanding a relic of former days P rom there over the Moliilo and Oho Ry to MonLRoniery the jiros-cnt capitol whore Jefferson Dashyvis first cstal)lishcd the capitol of the southern confederacy before it w removed to Richmond Va Co-itinuing our iourney via the A C L Ry to Dothan Ala where we stopped for the iilpht s tartshying neKt morninp for Piinamn City which we reached at 2 p m and as usual stopped rt the Magnolia lloel run by J B Hogeboom of G- nd Rai)ids Midi

On Saturday afternoon T looked oer Tliirmons addition to Panama City and called on Comrades Dem-orcst Crawford and others arid ai 0 I them about Lynn Tlaven to which they rejilied Go and see fc jourself Sunday with some friends from New York we atshytended the M E church in the morning and in the afternoon I

went by steamer to Lynn ITaven There is (|into a town there if you eonsifler the time that it has been building but not half of what they reiiresent on paper Jlie walls of the wholeside drug stoi-e Juit they advertised in the National Tribune were about half up and the new bank builiiing noiii-er com-l)letion 1 visited the printini o -Iie which I found well equipped

bull and ready for business The streeis are not graded or sewers in and 1 learneil there were two dcatlis from fever the week before 1 was there I met 15 P Truesdoll the colony agent wJvomII fouiui a cvy genial gentleman who seemed anxious to do all that he conlu to promote the interests of the colshyony Jle showed me the location for the hotel which the company ])romised to build but which he says they will no do if they can induce private iiarties to erect and run it as the one at St Cloudhas not been iirofitable The location was a tine one near the whirf and overlooking the bay In ray judgment the loijation oi the town on the north arin of the bay and about la miles from the inlet is bad but I understand that it is In keeping with an agreement witli a Mr Gay a turpentine operator of whom they got most of the land whose home is up there and noy occupied by his son but as I did not owe Mr Gay or his partshyner Mr McKenzie anything I concluded not to invest The railshyroad wliich they represent on pashyper is graded from a point ahout two miles from Panama City on the St Andrews Bay and Atlanta Ry to Lynn Haven and some ties scattered along but no iron or rolling stock and as I concluded not to take a tie pass I came back by steamer This was my secshyond visit within a year to invest at what is known as Bunkers Cove which they a t first advershytised just east of Panama City and near the inlet to the bay but Avhich they still refuse to open up until they have disposed of Lynn Haven

Monday morning we started for home via Cottondale and Tallashyhassee to Jacksonville whers wo stopped tor the night and the next day and night took one of those delightful trips up the St Johns River on the Clyde Steamshyship line arriving at home rested instead of tired out by a ride in the dusty stuffy cars aridwe must say to all our friends coming to houth Florida do ho t miss that t r ip on the St Johns River

Concerning the G W R C

A R and

As the time approaches for the election of officers and the comshypletion of the current years work of our orders the comrades of Phil McKernan post feel that we have much to bo thankful for As a post we have been higlily favored Sevshyeral members have been added to our ranks and in comparison with our number five years ago our membership has increased nearly 40 per cent while thus far this year only one of ourcomrades has joined the ranks of tihe gland army on the other side

At Rochester Comrade Oilman in his annual address as commandshyer-in-chief told the representatshyives of the G A Rthat our order would still be in existence 9) years from the present time and while this will probably be true in some centers of population all realize that beforethe expiration of a quarter of a century the smaller posts of our order will liave disappeared Many liave al-rcaily passed and the places of many more would now be vacant ui)on our rosters had it not been for ouir great auxiliary the Woshymans Relief Corps

On Nov tl Phil McKernan W J C presented a beautiful silk flag to the primary and high school rooms of the central buildshying and a similar flag to the prishymary room of the ward school A delegation from W R C No 131 accompanied by members from the post visited the schools and placed the flags in the custody of the scliool board the superintendshyent the teachers and the pupils to be the permanent property of the rooms to which they were Iiresented In the illness and enshyforced absence of the president of the local corps Mrs Franc L Adshyams the patriotic instructor of the Iiost made the presentation Miss Titus on behalf of the piimary room thanked the donors and as proof that the education of the little ones had not been neglected they sang several patriotic songs and gave the flag salute L W Mills fr a son of a veteran and member of the school board acshycepted the flag for the high school room in brief well-chosen words Commander Sariw and Mrs Saraw each made a short appropriate talk and Superintendent Jîggs alshyso spoke saying among other things that if the occasion should arise the boys of today would show themselves as patriotic as American boys had always been ir times when theii country needed their services The school then sang the Star Spangled Banner and at tJie close of the national hymn the visitors withdrew and proceeded to the ward school where the flag was received by Miss Shafer for the primary room and the jiupils of both rooms sang patriotic songs and gave the flag salute

Phil McKernan W R C has iire-sonted each of the Mason churches with a fine silk flag and intends as soon as possible to place a flag in each of the school rooms now without the national emblem

About 15 years ago when the W R C first engaged in this special form of patriotic work this corps placed in our city schools and also in nearly all the rural schools in the southern part of this county flags and other patriotic symbols in addition to supplying such iicliools a line of literature espeshycially designed to teach the rising generation true patriotism and why every American boy and girl should love their country in tact in proportion to its numbers Corps 131 had the honor 6l leading the bulldepartment of Michigan W R Cbdquo in regard to work accomplished along patriotic lines

To again refer to Comrade Gil-mans address at Rochester What the loyal loving energetic wife is to her husband that the Womans Relief Corps has been and is to the Grand Array of the Republic and to make the analogy complete it may be said that the W R C is frequently more earnest and zealous in work of mutual intershyest to the two iorders than its male companion the G A R The formshyer was the pioneer in work along legislative lines for placing the stars and stripes over every school house and it took up the work of systematic patriotic ihstruetion in schools and communities several

Proof of Beef Cattle Shortage

All doubts about the beet cattle shortage have been dispelled by the census report that tho deshycrease in luimbers in the last ten years has been 68 per cent This announcement is very significant This is tho greatest decrease reshycorded in any class of livo stock Horses mules and dairy cat Ic inshycreased to a much grca e r exshytent than any class of meat-proshyducing animals In fact ho censhysus figures indicate a d o r o i s e of about two per cent in sheep alshythough an increase of possiiDly 10 per cent may have been miile in hogs We cannot escape tho conshyclusion that the pro-luction o meat-porducing animals pari u-larly beet cattle has not kept ) ace with other branches of tli 11 (bull stock industry When it is considshyered that the population o the IJnited Slates has increased 1 raquo er cen t while the decrease in beef production has taken place ic is evident that a wide gap miay deshyvelop in the supply

Not only have beef cattle deshycreased in numbers but the avershyage age of marketing has been lowered So true is this that while market prices have appreciated the farm value credited per hear has actually declined The doan-up of large i-angs herds resulting i the marketing ot thousands of imshymature steers and females of all ages has been a factor in the deshycrease which cannot easily bo reshyplaced The expanded mirket in^ of veal is another The Pacific coast demand for meat is t r w-ing cattle that formerly would have come eastward ô marker These factors luive been citeJ is indicating that we are living on our capital not on the increase of it in the beef industry

Witli the decrease in American beef production appearing as a grim reality some consumers are urging the free admittance of beef a t the seaboard in the hope that South America may fill the gap in our markets Even if this shoiild come about it will not destroy our market for first-ciass beef Whatshyever prime beef Americans cat for a long time to come must be proshyduced- oh the corn belt farms of this country

Forced to the conclusion that the corn belt must raise only high-clasraquos beef if any many farmers have established grade herds o beef cows in the last five years using pure-bred beef bulls to se-ctire the desired market- topping quality They havei reaped a well-deserved success that should enshycourage others to engage in this beef-breedingi industry rhere will be a place for the beef when it is ready mdashEditoriali Breeders Ga-

BY the second day of the northshywester SheldoTi was in colshylapse from his fever It had taken an nnfalr advantage of

his weak stale and though It was only ordinary malarial fever in forty-elglii hours it bad rim him ai low as ten days of fever would have done when he was In condition But the dysen tery had boon swept away from Be rando A score of convalescents lin-gorod In the hospital but they were Improving hourly There had been 3Ut one more deathmdashthat of the man whoso brother had walled over him inshystead of brushing the dies away

On the morning of the fourth day of hla fever Sheldon lay on the veranda gazing dimly out over the raging ocean The wind was falling but a mighty sea was still thundering In on Bernndc beach the flying spray reachshying In aa far ns tlie flngstaif mounds the foaming wash creaming against iOio gateposts Ho had taken thirty grains of quinine and the drug was buzzing In his cars like a nest of hor nets making his hands and knees tremble and causing n sickening pal pltatlon of the stomach Once open ing his eyes ho saw what be took to be a hallucination Not far out and coming in across the lesaies anchor age ho saw a whaleboats nose thrust skyward on a smoky crest and disshyappear naturally as an actual whale-boats noso should disappear ns It Islid down the back of the sea He Icnew that no whnleboat should bo out there and he wua quite certain no men In tlie Solomons were mad enough to be abroad In such a storm

She scrutinized tlio house sharply and for some time she gazed at him steadshyily At lust speaking to two of the men who turned and followed her she started up the path

Sheldon attemptcltl to rise got half up out of his chair and fell back belp-iessly He was surprised at the size of the men who loomed like giants beshyhind her rtoth were six footers 11 ml they were heavy In proportion He had never seen Islanders like tlieni They were not black like the Solomon Islanders but light brown nnd their features were larger more regular nnd oven handsome

The womanmdashor girl rather he de-ckledmdashwalketl along the veninda toshyward him The two men wnltid at the head of the steps watclilng curiously The girl was angry Lie could see that Her gray eyes were flashing and her lips were quivering That she had a temper was his thought But the eyes were striking Ho decided that they were not gi-ay after all or at least not all gray They were large and wide apart and they looked at liiin from under level brows llor face was cameolike so clear cut was it There were other strlkiug things about hermdashthe c(^wboy Stetson hat the heavy braids of brown biir and the long barshyreled 38 Colts revolver that hung in Its holster on her hip

Pretty hospitality 1 must sny was her greeting letting strangers sink or swim in your front yard

Imdash1 beg your pardon he stamshymered by a supremo elTort dragging himsolf to his feet

His legs wabbled under him and with a suffocating sensation lie began sinking to the (loor Be was awiire of a feeble gratilJcatiou as he saw solicitude leap into her eyes then blackness smote him and at the moshyment of smiting him his thought was that at last nnd tor the first time In bis life be had fainted

The ringing of the big boll aroused him He opened his eyes and found that he was ou tlie couch indoors A glance at the clock told him that It was (1 and from the direction the suns rays streamed Into tfio room he knew that it was morning At first he puzzled over something untoward he was sure bad happened Then on the wall he saw n Stetson bat hanging and beneath it a full cartridge belt and a long barrelled 38 Colts revolver

The slender giith of the belt told its feminine story and he remembered the whaleboat of the day before and the gray eyes that flashed beneath the level brows She It must have been who had jupt rung the bell The cares of the plantation rushed upon him and ho sat up in bed clutching nt the wail for support ns the mosquito screen lurched dizzily around him He was still sitting there holding on with eyes closed striving to master his giddiness when he heard her voice

Youll lie right down again sir she said

It was sharply imperative a voice used to command At the same time one hand pressed him back toward the pillow while the other caught him from behind and eased him down

VYouve been unconscious for twenshyty-four hours now she went oh and I have taken charge When I say the word youll get up and not until then Now what medicine do ybui takemdashquinine Here are ten grains Tliats right toull make a good pashyt ien t

Tliat I wont My men are men Ive been tmi to your miserable liar-racks ami watched them eat Faugh Potatoes Nothing but potatoes No eii-t Nothing Only potatoes I may have been mistaken but I thought 1 understood them to sny that that waigt all they ever got to euu Two meais a day and every day in the week

Ho nodded Well my men wouldnt stand for

that u single day much less a whole week Where is the key

Hanging on that clothes hook under the clock

He gave in easily enough but ns she was reaching down the key she heard him say

liancy niggers and tinned provishysions

This time she really was angry The blood was in her cheeks ns she turned on him

My men are uoi niggers The sooner you understand that the better for our acquaintance As for the tinned goods ill pay for all they ent Please dont worry about that Worry Is not good for you in your condition And 1 wont stay any longer than I have tomdashjust long enough to get you on your feet and not go away with the feeling of having deserted a white man

Youre American arent you he asked quietly

iiie (luesiiou disconcerted her for the moment

Ves she vouclisafed with a defishyant look WhyV

Nothing I merely thought so Anything furtheri He shook his bead AVhy he asked Oh nothing 1 thought you might

have something pleasant to say My name is Sheldon David Shelshy

don he said with direct relevance holding out a thin hand

Her hand started out Impuisivoly then chocked

My name Is Lackland Joan Lnclc-bullJand The hand went out And let Tis bo friends

It could not be otherwisemdash he beshygan lamely

And I can feed my men all the tinned goods 1 want she rushed on

Till the cows come home ho anshyswered attempting her owu lightness then adding that is to Cerande Sou see wo dont have any cows at Be-rande

She fixed him coldly with her eyes Is that a jokei she demanded 1 really dont knowmdashimdashJ thought it

was but then you see Im sick Youre English arent youi -was

her nest query Now thats too much even for n

sick man ho cried You know well enough that 1 um

Oh she said absently Then you are

Ho frowned tightened his lips then burst into laughter In which she join-laquod

Its my own fault he confessed I shouldnt have baited you Ill be careful in the future

In the meantime go on laughing and Ill SCO about breakfast Is there anything you would fancy

He shook his bend It will do yon good to eat someshy

thing Your fever has burned out and you are merely weak Walt a moshyment

She hurried out of the room in the direction of the kitchen tripped at the door in a pair of sandals several tlmcH too large for her feet and disappeared in rosy confusion

By Jove those are my sandals he thought to himself The girl hasnt a thing to wear except what she landshyed on the beach in and she certainly landed in sea boots

months ago eleven of them sneaked a whaleboat atid ran for Malalta Nine of them belonged to Malalta Two were bushmen from San Crlstoval Thoy were fnols the two from San Crlstoval I mean so would any two Malalta men he who trusted them-

Bclves in a iHint with nine from Snlaquo Crlstoval Yes she asked eagerly Theu

wluit happened The nlneMalalta men ate the two

from San Crlstoval all except the beads which are loo valuable for mere eatlug They stowed them uwuj In the stern locker until tbey landed And those two heads are now in some bush village back of Langa Langa

She clapped her hands and her eyeit sparkled

They are really and truly cannibals And just think this Is the twentieth century And I thought romance and adventure were fossilized

He looked at her with mild amuseshyment

What is the matter now she queried

Oh nothing only I dont fancy beshying eaten by a lot of Ultby niggers is the least bit romantic

No of course not she admitted Cut to be among tliem controlling them directing them 200 of tliem and to escape being enten by themmdashthnt at least if It Isnt romantic is certain ly the qulntessencp of adventure And adventure and romance are allied you know

By the same token to go into a niggers stomach should bo the qulu-tessenco of adventure he retorted

1 dont think you have any romance In you she exclaimed Youre Just dull and somber and sordid like the business men nt home I dont know why youre bore at nil You should be at home placidly vegetating as a bankshyers clerk ormdashor-

A shopkeepers assistant thaoU you Yes thatmdashanything What under

the sun are you doing hero OQ the edge of things

Earning my bread and butter tryshying to get on ill the world

By the bitter road the youngest son tnust trend ere he win to hearth nnd bullsaddlo of ills own she quoted Why If that isnt romantic thou nothing Is romantic Think of all the younger sons out over the world on a rayrald of adventures winning to those same hearths and saddles Vnd here yon are in tho tliicU ot it doing I t and bullhero am I In the thick of i t doing I t

1mdash1beg pardon he drawled Well Ira a younger daughter

then she amended and 1 have no hearth nor saddlemdashI havent anybody or anything-and Im Just as far on the edge of things as vou are

In your case then Ill admit there is a bit of romance ho confessed

Ho could not help but think of tho preceding nights and of her sleeping in the hammock on the veranda under mosquito curtains her bodyguard of Tahitian sailors stretched out at the far corner of the veranda within call He had been too helpless to resist but now be resolved she should have his couch inside while ho would take the tiaininock

You see I had read and dreamed about romance all my life she was eaylng but I never in my wildest fancies thought that I should live it It was all so unexpected Two years ago 1 thought there was nothing left to me butmdash She faltered and made a moue of distaste Well the only thing that remained it seemed to me was marriage

And you preferred a cannibal isle and a cartridge belt he suggested

I didnt think of tho cannibal isle but the cartridge belt was blissful

You wouldnt dare use the revolver if you were compelled to Or noting

I t s a long shot he said with the intention of easing her fhagrln

Rut she hit her Up and fired again

The bullet emitted a sharp shriek an i t ricocbetled Into space The metal block rattled back and forth Again unit again she tired till the c l i | i was emptied ot lis eight cartridges Six of them were hits The block still Bwayid at the galT end but it was battered out of all usefulness Shelshydon was astonished It was better than lu or even nugh ie Drunimond could have done

That s really good shootingmdashfor a woman be said You only missed it twice and It was u strange wcraquo|i on

No fear of my taking it on was his answer Who titught yuu ui shoot

Oil my father nt tirst and then Von and hls cowboys He was a shotmdashdad I mean though Von was splendid too

Sheldon wondered secretly who Von was nud he speculated ns to whether it was Von who two years previously had led her 10 believe that nothing reshymained for her but matrimony

Von bad been In the army and dad was an old seadog and they were both stern disciplinariansmdashonly Vous girls had no mother and neither had I and they were two men after all They spoiled us terribly You see they didnt have any wives and ttiey made chums out of usmdashwhen our tasks were done We had to learn to do everyshything about the house twice as well as the native servants did itmdashthat was so thnt we should know bow to manage some day

More than once one or the othshyer of us had our rifles taken away for n week just because of a tiny speck of rust We had to know how to build fires In the driving rain too out of wet wood when we camped out which was the hardest thing of all-cKcept grammar I do believe We learned more from dad and Von than from the governesses dad taught us French nnd Von German We learned both languages passably well and we learned them wholly in tho saddle or in camp When I was sixteen we three girls were all sent up to California to Mills setnlnary which was quite fashshyionable and stifling I l l we used to long for home We didiit chum with the other girls who called us little cannibals just because we cume from the Sandwich Islands and who made Invidioiis remarks about our ancestors banqueting on Captain Cookmdashwhich was historically untrue and besides our ancestors hadnt lived In Hawaii

I was three years at Mills sem Inary with trljis home of course and two years in New York and then dad went smash In a sugar plantation on Mqui Dad had nothing left aiid he decided to returii to the sea Hed always loved I t and I half believe thot he w a s glad things had happened as they did He was like a boy again-busy with itlans and preparations froin morning till night Be used to sit up half the night talking things over with rae That was after I had shown himithat 1 wasreally resolved tb go along We were readyto starttOTn-hiti where a lot ot repairs and refitshyting for the Miele vêfe necessary when poor diid came down sick and

Concerning the G W R C

A R and

As the time approaches for the election of officers and the comshypletion of the current years work of our orders the comrades of Phil McKernan post feel that we have much to bo thankful for As a post we have been higlily favored Sevshyeral members have been added to our ranks and in comparison with our number five years ago our membership has increased nearly 40 per cent while thus far this year only one of ourcomrades has joined the ranks of tihe gland army on the other side

At Rochester Comrade Oilman in his annual address as commandshyer-in-chief told the representatshyives of the G A Rthat our order would still be in existence 9) years from the present time and while this will probably be true in some centers of population all realize that beforethe expiration of a quarter of a century the smaller posts of our order will liave disappeared Many liave al-rcaily passed and the places of many more would now be vacant ui)on our rosters had it not been for ouir great auxiliary the Woshymans Relief Corps

On Nov tl Phil McKernan W J C presented a beautiful silk flag to the primary and high school rooms of the central buildshying and a similar flag to the prishymary room of the ward school A delegation from W R C No 131 accompanied by members from the post visited the schools and placed the flags in the custody of the scliool board the superintendshyent the teachers and the pupils to be the permanent property of the rooms to which they were Iiresented In the illness and enshyforced absence of the president of the local corps Mrs Franc L Adshyams the patriotic instructor of the Iiost made the presentation Miss Titus on behalf of the piimary room thanked the donors and as proof that the education of the little ones had not been neglected they sang several patriotic songs and gave the flag salute L W Mills fr a son of a veteran and member of the school board acshycepted the flag for the high school room in brief well-chosen words Commander Sariw and Mrs Saraw each made a short appropriate talk and Superintendent Jîggs alshyso spoke saying among other things that if the occasion should arise the boys of today would show themselves as patriotic as American boys had always been ir times when theii country needed their services The school then sang the Star Spangled Banner and at tJie close of the national hymn the visitors withdrew and proceeded to the ward school where the flag was received by Miss Shafer for the primary room and the jiupils of both rooms sang patriotic songs and gave the flag salute

Phil McKernan W R C has iire-sonted each of the Mason churches with a fine silk flag and intends as soon as possible to place a flag in each of the school rooms now without the national emblem

About 15 years ago when the W R C first engaged in this special form of patriotic work this corps placed in our city schools and also in nearly all the rural schools in the southern part of this county flags and other patriotic symbols in addition to supplying such iicliools a line of literature espeshycially designed to teach the rising generation true patriotism and why every American boy and girl should love their country in tact in proportion to its numbers Corps 131 had the honor 6l leading the bulldepartment of Michigan W R Cbdquo in regard to work accomplished along patriotic lines

To again refer to Comrade Gil-mans address at Rochester What the loyal loving energetic wife is to her husband that the Womans Relief Corps has been and is to the Grand Array of the Republic and to make the analogy complete it may be said that the W R C is frequently more earnest and zealous in work of mutual intershyest to the two iorders than its male companion the G A R The formshyer was the pioneer in work along legislative lines for placing the stars and stripes over every school house and it took up the work of systematic patriotic ihstruetion in schools and communities several
