BURLINGTON NEW8. vLaui Week.)

The past was a sad week in Bur-linxton homes. Three of Burllngton'B popular residents passed away, name­ly ivir. H. Wesley White, Mrs. Alii3 Kinney and Miss Gertrude Tyler,

Henry Wesley White passed away Thursday morning at a o'cIujk, at Ins home, S42 Val ey street. The dee-ai>_u was born in Missouri June U, i but made Burlington h s nome lor thu past ten or fifteen years. Air. Whjtp was a well known resident and was of an honest and Industrious nature. He leaves a wife and five children, a sister, Mrs. Irene Reed of this city, and -a brother in Muscatlnei. The funeral was held at St. John's A. M. E. church, of which ho was a member, Saturday at 2 p. m.

One of the saddest, or in fact the saddest, accidents was witnessed by a number of people, the burning of Mrs. Allio Kinney and Miss Gertrude Tyler at their working place on Tnird street last Thursday at 3 p. m. The fire originated, it seems, when Miss Tyler had carried a bucket partly filled with gasoline into the kitchen, and was pouring hot water into it from a tea kettle on a gas stove. The fumes of the gasoline ignited from the flame of the stove, and the room was on fire in a moment. All the inmates escaped to the street except Gertrude and Mrs. Kinney. Mrs. Kinney was able to reach the door­steps, where she was picked up by willing hands. Gertrude, the most seriously burned, had to be taken from the building by the firemen or she would have been incinerated In the building. Ambulances were sum­moned and the victims were sent to the St. Francis hospital, where both succumbed to their burns. Mrs. Kin­ney regained consciousness before her death, but Gertrude passed away with­out regaining hers. Both funerals were held Sunday, Dec. 9th, from St. John's A. M. E. church. M!ss Tyler was buried at 1 o'clock and Mrs. Kin­ney at 2:30 p. m. Mrs. Kinney was a hard working woman. Her husband died two years ago. She was about 45 years of age, and is survived by one siste r,Mrs. A. L. Drew, wife of the rural mail carrier. The fol­lowing gentlemen were pall-bearers: Messrs. Chas. McGinnis, Sam E.Cook, J. W. Mackey, Geo. Parker, Joseph Mosby and John Ivy. Rev. Williams officiated.

Miss Gertrude Tyler was an esti­mable young lady and was loved by all of her acquaintances. She was born Nov. 5, 1877, and was raised in Burlington and educated in the public schools of this city, and lived with her aged mother on Starr avenue. She was one of Burlingtons most popular young women and no entertainment or party was a success unless Ger­trude was there. Besides her aged mother she is survived by two broth­ers, ('has., of St. Paul, and George, of this city, and a sister, Mrs. Cooper, of St. Paul. Miss Tyler's pall-bearers were Messrs. Henry and Will Jack­son, Elmer Smith, Archie Mitchell, James Brooks and O. O. Polgs.

Mr. Geo. Arbuckle, of Mt. Pleasant, attended the funeral of his niece, Mrs. Al io Kinney, Sunday.

Mrs. L. R. Palmer of Des Moines at­tended the Tyler funeral Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. Kinney, of Ft. Madi­son, were in the city Sunday

Mr. Chas. Tyler, Mrs. Mary Cooper and Mr. Herman Orange, brother, sis­ter and nephew, respectively, of the late Miss Tyler, are in the city.

A number of people were in the city to attend the funerals but the correspondent was unable to obtain their names. ,

Mrs. Bertha Carey, who has been visiting in the- city, has returned to her home in Benton.

Mr. and Mrs. Alex Drew entertainei at supper Friday. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Peter King, Sara E. Cook, A. Sydney, Mrs. R. Brooks and Bertha Carey of Buxton, Miss Mary Brook and O. C. Folks.

Mrs. W. Spotts of Chicago visited Mrs. Sam Cook last week.

Inspiration from Cat*. -Whilst Ouida wrote "Under .Two

Flags" her great gray Persian cat sat either on the table she wrote at or on her lap. The cat is dead now, but al­ways, whilst sho works, one or more are in the room with her. The French poet, Francis Coppee, is another lover of cats. He has a great black, short-coated cat, which sits beside him for hours a3 he works. He frequently strokes its thick, closo coat and de­clares that the electricity from its fur gives him inspiration.

Beer Drinking in India.

The natives cf India take more and more to beer. Former! ythe consumpt tion was very small; there are now, however, many large breweries, and last year their combined production aggregated nearly nine million gal­lons. It is said that about 40 per cent of this production is consumed by the army. Most of tho breweries are i« the Himalaya mountain districts, on the railroad line between the stations of Murree and Darjeling.

Under Restriction. We consider that the riCicule which

has greeted a notice in a Glasgow mu­sic fcali to the effect that "Whistling or cheering with the feet is strictly prohibited" is undeserved. While U may be difficult to cheer with the feet we believe that it is by no means im­possible to whistle with the feet. We imagine that instead of two fingers be­ing placed in the mouth the whole foot goes In.—Punch.

Thick Skins. The skin of the men and women of

some nations is much thicker than that of others, particularly in hot countries. TLe Central African negro ha? a skin about half as thick again as that of a European. That of a ne­gro is thickest over the head and b,ack —evidently to form a protection from the sun.

The Sewing Circle Vindicated. Ever remark that a loafer is always

glum; that he is always saying dis­agreeable things? The contented, help, ful, useful men are the men who are bu&y. Mofet of the mean things said in a town are said by the idle men sit­ting around the loafing places.—Atchi­son Globe.

Tea Cigarettes. The tea cigarette has taken the

place of the morphine tablet with many vomu of the smart set in Lon­don. It Is extremely injurious; with­in a fortnight twenty victims of the habit were taker, ta private sanatoii-cms.

The trouble with a train of thought is that it isn't always on time.

"A Christmas wedding is rather an tnusual tiling. At Christmas-tide everybody's mind Is set on something other than weddings, and to have one then seems almost like an interruption of the just mirth which reigns the world over," writes Muriel Falkland in the Housekeeper. The writer goes on to describe how the idea of a Christ­mas wedding was prettily carried out in favor of one of a group of twelve girl friends who l*ad planned,to h&xe. distinctive celebrations of this great­est event of their lives.

"The -ceremony was a home one, of course, and as (Catherine has a host of brothers and sisters and another iost of young nephews and nieces, there was every reason for as genial a time as the occasion and the season warranted.

Our first move, when we arrived to set thing? in order, was to cover everr floor in the house with crash.

This gave the white background we had wished and afforded besides a splendid facility for the luxurious ever­green trimming which w& had- plajpnpd to make the spirit of Christmas gen­erally felt. Every picture and every doorway and window frame was out­lined with evergreen, the spicy odors filling the house, ere we were half through. Holly we used only to wreathe the chandeliers and bank the window 8ill» and mantel pieces. Long ear land 8 of evergreen were hung in festoons along the upper side of the wall from the ceiling, twined around the balustrade and put in loops and circles wherever wall space offered. At eacL window a beautiful hollyi

wreath, tied with floaiting streamers of scarlet ribbon, was hung, and on the end of each of the chandeliers hung a great ball of poinsetta, mingled with a few feathery green ferns and tied with eaarlet.

This was in the halls and chambers. In the drawing room, where the cer­

emony would be performed, u beauti­

ful archway of ferns and poinsetta was erected by the florists under Eliza­beth's direction, and from the middle of the arch a cluster of bells, also of scarlet, was hung in position like a chime.

The wedding was planned to occur at half past seven, and Just at a quar­ter past the chimes of the ohurch at the comer began their hour of music, so that we had this sweet accompani-

.ment, to the ceremqny. Promptly at half-past seven we

emerged from the room upstairs where we had been dressing, Bince the early five o'clock dinner, and we could see for ourselves as we went slowly down the broad stairway that the scene was a beautiful one. First m the procession walked the four small­est nephews and nieces of the bride, two by two, the girls wearing frocks ol white with scarlet ribbon in their hair and carrying baskets of holly, the boys in red, each with a branch of evergreen. Then went Katherlne, dressed in white gleaming satin, with a bunch of mistletoe fastening her

'veil/and q white vellum prayer:book in her hand. Then we girls, six of us, walked, two by two, each dressed in white, but wearing crowns of frost­ed holly and carrying a great armful of poinsetta blossoms from which long streamers of scarlet ribbon hung to the edge of our gowns.

From the foot of the stairs to the sides of the archway two other nieces, also dressed in white and scarlet, stretched lines of glistening white satin ribbon, in which small bunches of holly were knotted at Intervals, and through this enclosed palthway the bride walked to the improvised altaT, leaning on her brother's arm. Dur­ing the ceremony the sound of an organ playing the sweet old Christmas hymn, "Adeste Fideles," penetrated the room, and continued while the sol­emn words of the marriage service were spoken, making a most beautiful accompaniment for the scene.

Christmas Stockings

Hang up the Christmas stockings, Leave not a dear one out,

And wake on Christmas morning With ringing song and shout.

For In the silent midnight Shall Santa Claus appear.

And crown with gifts of gladness The rove-tli&e or the year.

Hang np the baby's stocking; The cunning little elf

Is still too very tiny To do it for herself.

And hang the mother's stocking Oh, very plain in sight;

Some one must think for mothar. Or she'll forgot it quite.

Hang father's sturdy stocking Right here between the boys ;

And give hhn books and papers. As ne gives the children toys.

Let Santa Claus be careful About the politics;

For father has a conscience That to the right side stioka.

Hang up the old folks' stocking*, Hang up the little girl's;

Dear grandma with her silver hauv Sweet Flossy with her ourls,

Will both be very happy when dawns, in roseate cheer.

The Merry Christmas morning, The love-time of the year. —BvVwfl Bridges Is; Royal Neighbor.

When it was over there was a mer­ry clash of bells, apparently coming from the very air about us, and when we looked in astonishment to see the reason, we found that ail older boy had begged and borrowed all the bells he could, of every kind, and had set them going in the various rooms of the house, as soon as the ceremony was finished and the merry congratua-tions had begun.

The newly wedded pair did not In­tend to leave the city that night, so the gayest of Christmas wedding par­ties was in full progress within a few moments after the marriage words concluded.

Supper was served first, and ths merriment enhanced by the fact that in the bunches of holly composing the centerpiece, which the brMesinaids drew to our plates at the conclusion of the meal, we found each an ex­quisite little locket Bhowing a branch of holly, with green enameled gold leaves and bits of coral for berries, as souvenirs from our bride.

Dahcing came next, to the music of a stringed orchestra stationed some-where out of sight, and through the drawing room, halls and dining room we whirled, counting the moments only by our flying footsteps.

It was half-past eleven oefore we stopped, and then only at a signal from the band. This was no less than a .march—or rather, the Christmas hymn played in march time,' and stop­ping our waltz suddenly, we wondered what it meant, until Katherlne and her husband, taking the lead, beckoned us to follow in procession. Wonder­ing a little, we did so, and found our­selves led through the hall across to the library doors, which had been re­ligiously closed all evening, rather to our surprise, since we needed the extra dancing place. Katherlne flung open the doors and a moment of amazed silence ensued. There in the middle of the room stood a magnifi­cent Christmas tree, hung from root to top with glittering emblems of the season and aglow with myriads of tapers fastened to its branches. At a signal from Katherine's brother, the electric lights in the hall and dining room went out and we found ourselves with nothing to detract from the ra­diant splendor of the symbolic tree.

Every housekeeper should know thar If they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—oue full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up In %-pound pack­ages, and the price is the sane, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem­icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of beforo he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in largo let­ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks.
