H(.*r illness wr> of severa months duration. Rosamah Elvira Gilliam was born March 21, 1844, in county, '*lr gfnia. At the age of e : ght #,.e mov ed with her parents to Indiana, where they n-> Had one ye -.). Tlien me faimily started for fire then far west !in covered wagons, camping out ut j night. They crossed the Mississippi May 3, 1853, at Dubuque, ami set tled on a claim near Independfcn/.e, Buchanan county. In September <>) the same year they moved to Winne sn-ek county ami settled near Free por.. On Feb. 6, 1867, she w*i mar ried to George Tyler at Freeport, lowu. After their na< riage tln.-j located on a farm three and one-half, miles from Decorah, ami this been her home since until the time J of her death. Since the death of j her husband in 1901, Mr*. Tyler had traveled quite extensively in Califor nia, Louisiana, Minnesota ami lowa. Five children were born’ to the un ion, all of whom survive to mourn her loss. They are R. F. Tyler, of Aurora, HI., Albert 1,., on the home farm, Hattie, (Mrs. B. O. Brown) of Seattle, Wash., Clementine, (Mrs. I). J. McKay), of Rush City, Minn., ami George Harry, of Ixmg Beach, Cali fornia. All of the children are here except Harry, who just recently re turned to his home, after a visit with his mother. In the passing of Mrs. Tyler tin* community lose* one of its best and most beloved mothers. She was a woman of high intellect, well rea<‘ and her hold on life was wonderful Her mind was cOoar as a crya’ui up to w’itbin a few hours before .‘■he died, being conscious to thp last. One of the last things she said wa- in response to a question from her ‘on Frank, In asking if she wished for anything, ami her answer was “yes 1 want to get well.’’ Mr#. Tyler was one of the early pioneers of this county, and the last survivor- of a family of ten. Her home life was ideal and it was always n pleasure for her friends to visit her, as she was congenial, whole hearted ami always ready to make some one else happy. She was a good mother, ami she will lie greatly missed, not only by the beloved children, but by score* of lifelong friends. The funeral services will be held tomorrow Thursday at '1 o'clock fiom the home. Kev. Fisher of the M.

Tin- author has no' put in n special plea for any individual da** of person*, but he ha- opened sev eral pages of Metropolitan life ami permitted hi- audience to -ee things as ’'hey really are. Another epi-ode pf the *-*ot) opens at a bachelor dinner held on the eve of the wedding of a younthfu! -cion of one of New York’s wr&t'-hleat families. The failure of one of the invited gue ts, to attend tin- dinner left only thirteen at the table, ami inasmuch as the host wa inclined to fear the re-u!‘. of the unlucky num ber, it wa- deckled that the entire group of gue.-1* hould in to the door and invite the first person who passes to cake the place of the miss ing guest. The first one to pass was an old man ami he wa- prevailed upon to fill the empty chair. Under the in fluence of the bright lights ami friendly spirit of the rest of the com pany, the newly found guest w-a* In duced to tell a story. What he tells, w'hich is the true stoiy of his life, provides a drama of unique in terest. It is a -tory of strange ad- venture, of good luck ami bad, or the highlight* and shadow* of “Lights of New York.’’ France Take* Drastic letkin The American people sympathize with France in its failure to collect any consklei able sum fiom Germany to repair the ravages that the Teu ton armies committed. But public sentiment in this oountiy will not generally approve of the course that France is taking to secure her pay ments, ami will regret that she ha seen fit to occupy more German ter ritory. The sympathy and support of 'the other nations will in the long run lie a better safeguard ami coni pen- nation to France than any money or protection she cun obtain through military force. It is doubtful if this' expedition gets any great result* in a financial way, as any increased payment* ecured from the German* m-ay be offset by the. cost of oc cupying a foreign and hostile ter ritory* The warring nations must forget the past to come extent and learn to co-operate, if the wound- of war are ever to heal. —■ Mrs. H.
