EVENING SENTINEL; PAGE SIX SATURDAY, FEB. 27, 1915 DEATH OF MRS. DR. GIVEN Formerly Connected With Carlisle Indian School and Well Remembered The following notice of the death of Mrs. Dr.

Given is from the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal of February 23, Many Carlisle people have an ing recollection of Mrs. Given, and will greatly regret her death. The Journal says: Died, in this city, February 18, at the home of Allison, her nephew Mrs. Lydia Brown Given, aged seventy-one years. A five weeks' illness, resulting from a nervous breakdown, preceded, but at the last she passed, peacefully away like "a little child tired of long play, at close of summer's day, lies down to quiet dreams." Mrs.

Given was born in ton county, Pennsylvania. While yet an infant she went with her parents to Madison, where her father, Rev. James Brown, D. of the United Presbyterian ministry was pastor. The family in 1855 moved to Keokuk, Iowa, where she was married February 2.

1871, to Dr. 0.1 G. Given of Olathe, Kan. After a short residence at this place and Lawrence, she went with her husband to Fort Sill, I. where he was appoitned physician for the large Indian agency at that point.

Here, four years of her life were spent on the frontier, working with her hus-1 band for the uplift of the red men. In the fall of 1877, Doctor Given went from fort Sill to Washington, practicing his profession there until September of 1882, when he was called to be the resident physician at the government training school for Indians at Carlisle, Pa. He was a most careful, conscientious physician, and, in devotion to his work, forgot himself and gave up his life April 26, 1889. After his death. Mrs.

Given, received the appointment of matron for the small boys at this great institution. Here for twelve years she labored and out of the richness' of her womanly, loving heart, supplied the place of mother for these little! wards of the government. Her work here is reflected in the hearts of hundreds of fine young Indian men throughout this country, in whom higher ideals of manhood were implanted by "Mother Given." In 1901, Mrs. Given went to Ponca City Okla. making her home for several years with her two sons, located at that place.

In 1906, the health of her elder son, James having become SO impaired from rheumatism as to render him a cripple, she went with this son to Holton, to the home of her sister, Mrs. A. B. MeCandless. The remaining years of Mrs.

Given's life were devoted to the watchful, loving care of this invalid son. An added sorrow came to her in 1911 with a great shock, when her, younger son, John was drowned at Ponca City, Okla. In May, 1913, the family, consisting of her sister, herself and her son, came to Lincoln to make their home with Mrs. 0. J.

Allison, Mrs. MeCandless' daughter. Not quite two years have passed in this new and pleasant home and now she is called into the joy and peace of the heavenly home. Mrs. Given was an earnest Christian, and her brave and cheery nature drew friends to her wherever her lot was cast.

She was like her blessed Master, ever watchful for an opportunity to be helpful, noted for her forgetfulness and self and thoughtfulness for others. Truly it may be said of her, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. They rest from their labor and their works do follow them."

Any number of players may take: part in this gande, which is really good fun. The four corners of the room' are named after the four points of the compass, north being diagonal to south and east diagonal to west.

One of the player's is called the wind; the rest are weathercocks. The latter should stand in a A'ne in the center of the room. When the wind points to one corner, calling out the name of that cardinal point, the weathercocks must immediately face the opposite point. Thus if wind says south they face north, and so on. If he should name a point they are already facing they must reman perfectly still.

When the wind cries "Variable!" the weathercocks must raise themselves to toes and sway back and forth until the name of one at the cardinal points is again called, when, as before, they turn to the opposite point. Whenever the wind calls "Storm!" or "Tempest!" each vane must whirl entirely around three times. Any player failing to obey any one of these directions, which are ruore confusing than they sound, must: forfeit. some article, such as handkerchief, ribbon or trinket, to be redeemed by a humorous "stunt" after the game is over.

Roster of Army Shows That One Member Lives In Porto Rico, Two In San Francisco, Ten In Eastern States and Remainder In Middle West -He Is Rich Enough to Humor His Whim.

Washington. -Not so very long ago three army officers were testifying before a house committee on the matter of a bigger army, when one of these officers remarked that the reserve army of the United States numbered sixteen. Representative Augustus P. Gardner of Massachusetts happened to be present, and with his ever present sense of humor he resolved to give the sixteen :1 He wrote to the war department for their names and ad- Photo by American Press Association. REPRESENTATIVE A.

Washington looks at it, Mr. Gardner has mapped out a pretty big task for himself. Inquiries by friends recently drew from him the smiling information that he had been so busy on the shipping and immigration bills that he hadn't time to think much about the dinner. but that he intended to go through with it. There is one feature, howerer, that Is causing Mr.

Gardner's friends considerabie merriment. the matter of transportation. The list shows that there will be one fare to be paid from Porto Rico, two from San Francisco. another from Pike county. ten from New York and Brooklyn and others from Indianapolis and West Philadelphia.

But Mr. Gardner is rick enough to humor his whim. He has a peculiar twinkle in his eyes at all times, and he gives the impres. sion of being constantly on the point of strangling a good joke lest his congressional dignity be lowered by the telling. Of late when anybody mentions the reserve army dinner his eyes sparkle more than ever.

and Washing. ton is about equally divided in opinion as to whether the dinner will ever come off. At first there was a general impres. sion that Mr. Gardner in some subtle way was trying to the war department and that the war department resented the attempt.

If this was true the department has bad a 'sudden change of heart. for inquiries concerning the reserve army, its origin, number, location. have been answered with the greatest good will. Recently it has developed that the reserve army once consisted of seventeen men. but last year a reservist was dropped at his own request to able him to join the navy.

for the creation of a reserve was given in the 1912 Authority, army appropriation act, and the provision became effective Nov. 1. 1912. From that time on the war department raised its enlistment periods from four years to seven, and it was provided in each enlistment contract that the soldier serve four years with the colors and the remaining three years on reserve. subject to call in event of war.

This is the invitation that Mr. Gardner sent to each member of the reserve army: "My Dear Sir-I am contemplating inviting the members of res reserve army of the United Statad to be my guests at a dinner in WasHington, and SO to have the pleasure of meeting each one in person, and write to asb whether it is likely that could he present. "If your engagements ate such 69 to make it impossible for cou to he in Washington at that cube would appreciate it it you would send me 1. a short sketch of yoursels and your service in the army, together with photograph.
