BRIEF LIFE SKETCH Joseph George Henry Denley was born May 16, 1874, in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England, .and _died Nov. 25, 1917, in Bemidji, Minn. He came to Amerlca with his parents when he. was a lad four years old, and resided in Wadena, Minn., for a number of “years. Then his father. who was @f‘Episcopalian clergyman, called to-do the work of a mmslon-' ary among:the Indians, took up.a homestead .in Hubbard county. As a boy in Hubbard county, George, as he was known, became closely . acquainted with the J. C. Courtney family and as a result of that acquaintance he married Belle Courtney. They were married four- teen years ago. Ten years ago last August Mr. Denley came to Bemidji with his wife and little son, Merton. For five years he served on the clty| police force and during the last five years he had served as a deputy un- der Sheriff- Andrew Johnson. He leaves to mourn his death a wife and one child, Merton, age 12, a father and mother who reside at Dorset, Minn., and brother, Thomas A. of Bemidji, and two sisters, Mrs. James McKenzie of Sharon, N. D., and Mrs. Mary Hagan of Larado, Mont. Mr. Denley was a man of most ex- cellent character. He was a faith- ful and a fearless officer. He was a dutiful son, a loving husband and a kind and affectionate father. He was appreciative of every kindness shown him or his. He was charit- able and sympathetic towards those less fortunate, and though quiet and unassuming, he was of genial and sunny disposition. He was .a member of the B. P. O. E. and the I. O. O. F. lodges. In childhood he was confirmed in the Episcopal church though in later years he attended the services of the Methodist Episcopal church. His faith was a living faith and found its expression in a c¢lean life and devotion to duty. B. D. H. Old Custom Prevails Among Poorer .Classes, While the Rich Have Eu- i ropean Knives-and Forks. i+ The use of chopsticks is general in Japan, except among the richer classes, who have adopted European knives and forks, and, to some extent, the Euro- pean cuisine, London Tit-Bits says.

In the case of rice, which would be tedious to pick mp grain by grain, the bowl is often raised to the mouth and the rice shov- eled or pushed in with the chopasticks, ft is also custemary to pour a little %ea into the rice bowl after it has been pearly emptied, and in this way the few remaining grains of rice are washed down as the tea is drunk. At public places the chopsticks at gach meal must be new; this is indi- cated by the fact that the chopsticks are made from one piece of wood and are left joined together, as were matches at one time. These new chop- sticks are incased in a thin paper en- velope, sealed at the end, and bearing Japanese characters advertising efther the hotel or some firm that has fur. pished them free to the proprietor for Ve sake of the publicity thus gained Some thlngs are never enjoyed in excess. They never breed regrets, says an exchange. Who ever heard of a city that ‘fearned, as it grew from youth: .to maturity, that it had too many -patks? Where is the municl- pality that is sorry it has so many pleasure ggpounds for the use of its citizens? Was there ever a town which felt that its children enjoyed too much room for their play, its invalids too many qulet nooks for rest and recuper ation, its aged and infirm wmore than sufficlent outdoor space for their spe sial wants? ———————————— “Hore’s a “‘Grackerjack” A pneumatic Fountain Ink Well. ' The name of the well is the ECLIPSE. Nothing to get out of order. No valves, no floats. The ink from the res- ervoir falls into a small cup at the pase, which provides just enough ink to cover the pen. NOT THE HOLDER. The ink ;annot splash.
