THURSDAY, MAROH 2, 1918
Miss Emily Alexander died Friday
of last week, at the home of her niece,
Mrs. Bara R. Bushman, in Centre
Hall. In the passing of Mies Alex-
ander Centre Hall loses one of its
oldest and best loved residents. Born
near the Old Fort, seventy-eight years
ago, she spent her entire life in the
vicinity of Centre Hall. In early life
she united with the Presbyterian
church, and has since been an active
worker in it. She was a close student
of the Bible, many portions of which
she memorized and carried out its
precepts in her life, choosing rather to
serve than be served, Her one regret
in her later years was that she could
no longer minister to the comfort of
others. Hoapitable, generous, almost
to a fault, to know her was to love her.
Next to her God she lovedjchildren,
aad few indeed are those who have
grown up in Centre Hall during her
long life there but have cause to re-
mamber her loving kindness. Bhe
has gone but she leaves the influence
of a life Bo sweet, so pure and true,
that it is inspiration to others to
nobler living and higher thiuking.
Miss Alexander was a daughter of
Francis and Lettie McElroy Alex-
ander, Two sisters, Mrs, Mary Rois,
of Centre Hall; and Mrs. W. A,
Murray, of Boalsburg ; and a brother,
James Alexander, of Centre Hall, sur-
vives,
Interment was made in the Centre
Hall cemetery on Monday, her pas-
tor Rev. W. H. Schuyler officiating.
By our Boalsburg Correspondent.

From our Linden Hall Correspondent.
Mrs. Catherine Coble, one of the
oldest residents of this place, died at
ths home of her son Calvin, at Oak
Hall, Saturday evening, at eight
o'clock after an illopees of several
months, Bhe lived alone until her
health began to fail in January, when
her son removed her to his home
where she was tenderly cared for by
her daughter-in-law, Mrs, Hetty
Coble,
Her age was seventy-nine years ;
Bhe was born in Brush Valley, her
maiden name being Douty., She was
united in marrisge to John Coble, who
survives with nine of their eleven
children : William, of Mill Hall ; Mrs.
Chestie Miller, Brookville ; Mrs, Jane
Btambach, Brookville; Thomas, of
Los Angeles, California ; Mrs. Mary
Rudy and Mrs. Alice Inhoof, of Btate
College ; Bamuel, at Linden Hall;
Mrs, Lizzie Page and Calvin at Oak
Hall.
To her children she was a devoted
and faithful mother. Left alone to
raise her large family, she tolled early
and late to provide the necessities of
life for them, doing the hardest kind
of work—snything she could find to
do for them. Life for her had been
very hard but, “she did what she
could.” What better can be said of
soy one? Let us hope she ls al rest,
and all her trials and troubles over,
blotted out in that better world.
The funeral was held on Tuesday
morning, the service being held in the
Reformed church, at Boslsburg, and
conducted by Rev, 8, C. Btover, Her
remains were laid to rest In the Boals-
burg cemetery,

' A HINDU IDOL.
its Strange History Caused Mme. Car-
not to Order It Destroyed.
When Mme. Carnot, widow of SBadl
Carnot, died and her will was read a
clause in it caused considerable com-
ment. This was to the effect that a
certain small Hindu idol carved from
f hard stone which would be found
among her property must be taken out
and crushed until completely destroyed.
Many marveled at this apparently sin-
gular request, for the idol seemed a
harmless, ugly little thing, but her in-
structions were carried out to the let-
ter.
The idol had been presented to Sadi
Carnot years before he had ever
thought of the presidency of France by
a friend who bad brought it from In-
dia. Later he learned that there was
a legend attached to it which asserted
that whosoever would retain it in his
possession would rise to the fullest
height of power in his chosen profes-
sion, but dle of a stab wound when at
the zenith of his career.
M. Carnot traced the history of the
idol and found that for 500 years the
rulers who hud possessed it had all
died elther in battle or by assassination
from stab wounds. Yet he laughed at
the story, called the facts adduced by
his search a mere chain of coincidences
and retained the idol. Ile died by a
dagger in hands of an assassin;
hence Mme. Carnot's strange request.
