Mr. Ileale Se In His Life Otie of the Finest Fxainple of liiriMiau M.iiiIhmmI and I sefulnevs A Man in W Ikmii There Was Xo Guile ami No Shadow of Turning. tBy K. F. Deasley.) A private letter which the writer has received referring to the death of Mr. Ashcraft sa: ' It is a great loss to the community, as no estimate can be correctly placed on the value of the life of a good, upricht man to all those around him." This is true, and possibly because we take such a man as a matter of course. We be come so accustomed to him that we fail to think and measure and esti mate him. He becomes like a .real rock or hill beside which we have passed our lives. While In hip he i lived and permanent, and lessei things and iul'uenees move around him. This implosion of strength and fixedness and solidity was the imsl uiaiked characteristics of the deceased. Our subconscious mind often re veals to us things of which we were not fully aware before. A veek be fore Mr. Ashcraft's death I was in Monroe and was told that he was sick, threatened with pneumonia, but was thought to be not 111 danger. Tin inhumation made little impression upon my mind, and the news of his death came as distinct a shock as il 1 had not heard that he had been ill at all. I take it that this lack of se rious impression came not from any lack of interest in the welfare of a man whom I had admired since my hinhood days and whom I always knew to be a sincere friend and wise counsellor. But from that unconscious impression of solidity and penua nance which emanated from his char acter and life. He had been sick be fore, many linns, and in due course was just as he had always heel: Something like this if the meaning could be made clear - is the accepted statu of a man like Mr. Ashcrai; was one of the permanent and solid facts of community life, so unobtru sive, so sound and persuasive ant! natural as to call for little analysis and discussion. Like others who have lived in Monroe I kn-.-w Mr. Ashcraft from my boyhood. 1 cannot remember how far back I began to know him hut I can remember instances that must hae been nearly thirty years ago In all those years of business, social, private and public intercourse I never heard him experess a disingenuous word or to withhold a frank opinion when it was necessary for him to speak. It did not make any differ ence what or where the occasion was. the only question with him was what was right. And so clearly was his sincerity manifest that his expres sion, even if contrary to one's own opinion, left no wound or sting. I am aware that some who did not know him well might not have at times fell this way, hut the better he was known the more certain was it that his real character was best ap predated. He once taught me a les son which I will never forget. And j it was done with such simple and natural dignity that I doubt if he was aware of it or intended it as a 1 lesson. He was making a collection for some object which I have forgot ten. When he called for my contri bution I. like many people do thoughtlessly, showed some irrita tion al beiii'.; called on for "so many thin,"s." "Look here, Rowland, he said, "that is no way for you to be talkiin." 1 was heartily ashamed of myself and never forgot the incident and I never felt the slightest irrita tion toward him. Rather I felt thank ful for a needed lesson. He made one ashamed of unworthlness. And his manner was never that of "Look what I am." This is the r.tu'iide w hich always rubs the wrong way and raises the question of sincerity . It is the attimde which causes unthinking men to say that church people are hypocrites, or that religious men are insincere. Comparisons are said to be invid ious and hence few should he made, and what I am about to say is not a comparison, but a simple truth. I refer to il not to praise but to illus trate the character of the man we have lost. It is this: For year and years he was the backbone ot the Baptist church of Monroe. He was thought of about like the church house itself - always there, Just so, ns matter of fact. He fell into this relation not because he sought il or pei haps because he was even con scious of it, but because he was there Instead, the Burgrave. who seems him and he never tried to stand from iva-winls Have Ketived HuiiKr wf o have lacked the full flavor of the .

Many nun lose their usefulness by simply tailing to grow w ith the times. They tail to expand and blossom them eles and to feel that all the world 1 trowing wrong because it changes. Noi so with Mr. Ashcraft. He was always on the lookout for the better, always ready to welcome an improve u. 1 nt, always ready to take larger :in.l more comprehensive view of things. Hence he never became an old man. It is said that a man is as obi as he feels. He certainly is old when he ceases to grow and young mi long as he does grow. He was a liberal man. Few people knew how liberal he was with his means. He was also liberal in his thoughts, not in the sense that any tail which came along miht attract him under the guise of breadth and lib erality, for that Is not real liberality ancit of ye;Ts ago, nt Countess, beheaded hundreds tan thoroughness and medieval dis e;rs ago. is playing Nemesis to.

The shooting occurred in the I'ran nerstrasse, and death resulted from two shots tired from behind into his head. Eisner's body was carried into the foreign ministry, where it lies in the porter's lodge. Soon after the shooting the Judi cial and police authorities arrived to investigate the assassination. There was great excitement in the streets of the city. The diet, which was holding it? first session today, adjourned in definitely. Herr Auer, Bavarian minister of the interior, has been shot. The shooting took place during a session of the landtag, while Auei was alluding to the assassination of Kurt Kisner, the Bavarian premier. Auer fell wounded in the left side and Deputy Osel was killed and two other officials were seriously wound ed. The shots were fired from the pub lic gallery and caused a panic among the deputies.

At last Cunigunda sent messengers to Albert offering her own hand In marriage, together with the rule of Plassenburg and her other possessions.

If rheumatism gets you, or sciatica, and you have sharp twinges, gnawing pain or swollen Joints or muscles, you can usually get rid of all agony in i just a few days by taking one tea- spoonful of Itheuma once a day.
