MRS.DQUGHERTYDIE8I
AT COOK HOSPITAL
Well Known Fairmont Worn!
an Leaves a Large Circle
of Friends.
Mrs. Cordelia F. Dougherty, aged 65
years, wife of J. E. Dougherty, died
resterday at Cook hospital after a long
Illness. Mrs. Dougherty has been ill
tor a number of months during which
:Ime her leg had become diseased. The
member was amputated several weeks
ago at the hospital in the hope for
prolonging her life. She recovered apparently
from the operation but het
condition otherwise was such that
leath resulted.
Mrs. Dougherty was formerly Miss
Cordelia Davis and was a daughter of
. aleb and Keziah Davis, former reslleuts
of this vicinity. Thirty-six years
igo she was united in marriage to Mr.
Dougherty and for the greatr part of
their married life had lived on Glad

they still reside. Her husband survives
her. Hugh F. Smith of this city,
\ half brother of th edcceased, is the
inly surviving member of her family.
A sister-in-law, Mrs. Martha Davis,
wife of Caieb Davis, who had been
sere for several weeks at Mrs. Dougherty's
bedside, returned home last
week.
The deceased was a member of the
First Presbyterian church having Joinid
that body fifty years ago. She was
i woman of splendid qualities and her
illucss and death have occasioned deep
regret among a wide circle of friends.
Funeral services are announced to
lake place on Wednesday afternoon at
3 o'clock from the residence, conducted
by Dr. 11. G. Stoetzer.. Interment
will be made in Maple Grove tomeery.

Peculiar Superstition.
Tf fake teeth could talk, they would I
tell strange tales. A farmer's wife attributed
her good luck with a certain
kind of delicious cooky for which she
was famous to the fact that the mold
with which she always cut out the
cookies was a set of false teeth willed
to her by an aunt who, in her time,
had been able to cook to beat the
band. Success crowned Iter culinary
efforts because she worked with tills
weird and unwieldy crescent of wornout
teeth. Thus doth superstition lead
us captive 1
Dags and Dogs.
"You can keep a real fine dog in j
rood," says the Fort Worth Star-Tele- |
gram, "at an expense of about $10 u
month, while a real sorry (log can get
out and make a living for himself."
