OBITUARY Mils. AMANDA KANOfPF. In narrating the story of the life of Mrs. Kiidoupo, the widow of Hc.v. Peter Kanouse, the simple truth becomes one of the gracious influ ences which enrich our younger lives. This lady died at. the nge of ninety-two yenis anu two rmmJis, near Lynchburg, Va., t the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jones, Febiu ary 21, 1903. Her interment took plnce at Sussex, N. Y., February th. Her long life running through nearly a century of our country s growth. History is worthy of more than a passing notice as it was allied with all that is best in our nation's growth. She started life in Northern New Jersey, where the external circum stances of her girlhood were not propitious; where opportunities of self-culture were limited. But there la an education which is neither of the head nor hand and which fills the heart, in the morning of life and which forms the basis of character in after yeais. Mrs. Kanous'e came under the gracious power of Christ in early life and it was the crown of her character, the secret of her cheer and the glory of her hope Sue was a plain, thoughtful woman believing in God and in duty industrious, intelligent, vivacious brave, - worthily carrying forward her work as a pastor's wife, inter ested in the moral and spiritual uplift of the people under her bus band's care. Perhaps In Northern New Jersey no community was ever blessed with more gracious visita tions of God's Spirit than the charges under Rev. Peter Kanouse. Presbyterian churches were orga nized between 18!!0 and 1840, other denominations were happily affect ed by religious fervor resulting in the uplifting of a whole township in moral life. Doing away with number of distilleries and inaugura ting two noted schools whose far reaching influence is felt even to this day, Rev. Peter Kanouse died soon after the civil war and for nearly forty years this venerable lady lived alone rearing unaided Christian family and giving one son Rev. Charles Kanouse. to the Presbyterian pulpit. She has been a subscriber of The Christian Work And Evangelist from the beginning an ardent admirer of Dr. Fields and thoroughly interested in the themes from ish genial pen, which came to her as moral and spiritual food through The Christian Work and Evangelists table of oontents. The long years of her life hud no effect in cooling the warmth of her heart. She retained the freshness of youth in a remarkable degree and though bo far removed from the tropical verdure of youth, she still was in close sympathy with the joyousness, the cheer, the laughter of youth. The cold winds which make havoo with gray hairs could not reach the warm heart beneatli No one could doubt iu her, the power of grace to sweeten character, to be feet winning courtesies, to endure the increasing influences of years with patience, to be sustained down to the last hour by the assurance of the nobler lite beyond. Amid the confident strains of the church's grand old hymn "Rock of Ages Cleft for Me" her spirit took its flight from earth's winter and entered into God's eternal summer Christian Work and Evangelist. A Jack Knife Speech Anent Senator Morgan's extended sjieeclies on the Panama canal treaty the New York Tribune's correspon dent tells a Btory. Home one said in Senator Hoar's committee room that Morgan could talk an hour with jack knife as a subject. The senator dropped in soon afler and was show n a queer knife. He began to talk about It nnd continued for an hour and a half. Senator Hoar is reported to have fallen asleep and the other senators one by one vanished from the room. The subject, however, of jack knives is an interesting one. The best of them are now made in the United Slates, but as Senator Morgan is a good democrat, he would probably contest this statement as they are the products of a protective tariff. J. Pierpont Morgan w as in Wash ington the other day. He vUited the president and also saw Senator (iorinan and Senator llanna.

The lecture on "Courtship and Marriage-' was well attended and was very entertaining. This has brought to a close the course of four entertainments given by the Kp worth League. financially, the success has not been ns great ns we wit-died, but socially and intellectually, the entertainments have been good They have been exceedingly enter taining and have given something more than amusement. As an Ep- worth League we may wsll feel proud of the course and in the futme put forth, constant effort to give our young people, good, clean, wholesome on tert (tinmen ts. Through the kindness of Miss Olmstend ten choice books, from the library of Mr. Winsor, have been added to that of the writer. A good book is a good friend, and the giv ing of good hooks is an expression of true friendship. He who enjoys good reading need never be lonely. People who never read except to fill the mind with trash find the characters of sensational novels poor companions for the serious hours of life, while those who have rend nnd pondered the nobler forms of life ns lived by worthy men, nnd true women, alwayslmvecompnnion- ship that elevates the soul and cheers its weary hours away. I rejoice to lenrn that among our young people there are those who ninke such good use of the public library. It will be a nource of great satisfaction to Mr Pinchot to know that bis effort to improve the uobler side of life meets with appreciation Twenty dollars has been sent to the witter, from summer friends of our church, for the parsonage im nrovetnent fund. The amount thnt has been pledged or paid, thus far is tl60. We will need from 75 to f 100 yet to pay for all the improve ments. Wo have great reason to rejoice that this part of the church work is progressing so nicely. This amount is independent of the work that the Ladies Aid society are do ing.

We are on the sunny side of win ter, crows, robins, spring fever and the grip are becoming plentiful. Mrs. Peter Decker of Lehman died, March 6, of pneumonia, leav ing a husband and three children. It is said Alonzo Cron and family will soon remove to Dunmoro and David Cron will occupy the Lay ton farm vacated by his brother. The poverty prtrty was successful beyond expectation and all enjoyed the refreshments and amusements. There was ah exciting contest be tween two yonng ladies to determine who should have the cake donated by tho president of the L. A. S. No bashful yonng men oonld be found and the result is that tho society will have a surplus to begin next seasons work. There was an interesting discus sion here lately as to the manner of candidates presenting their names "subject to the rules of the patty." Sinco the voters of Milford and Delaware nt tho last election cut loose from old traditions and rules we expect candidates in future, it they desire election, to obey the people and not the voice of a ring which would dictate for its own interest. There is a scrap on here bet ween the auditors nnd supervisors over the purchase by the latter of an 80 bridge from the comity to replace one winch was built only a year ago. Probably the court will have to settle if, but out auditors deserve credit for not ullowing bills until they are satisfied they are proper and necessary. , Viewers of bridges should see that abutments are built with good quarry stone and not with oobble stones which aro cheaper at first but cost more iu the end. Rafting ties is now in order and our lumbermen are happy. Isaac Smith is vory sick but later reports say he is improving. David Jaggor hopes soon to be entirely well again. Thb old folks ou the farms are having hard times. The young peo ple seek employment in the cities and on railroads and leavo the parents to look out for tho old place, but when they get stranded they are glad to- play tho prodigal and get a share o' th'i fatted calf.
