Mr. Honey was born at Windsor. April 6, He came with his par ents to Ohio in 1838. At the outbreak of the Civil war he enlisted in Company 9, 36th Illinois Infantry. He was wounded at the Battle of Stone River, December 31, 1862, which made it necessary for him to remain in a hospital for over three months, after which he rejoined his regiment and served until he was honorably discharged at Indi anapolis, October 12, 1864.

He came to Kansas in 1865 and set tled in what is now Cloud county, three years before there were any railroads in this part of the state. He moved to Clay county in 1888 and to Clay Center In 1892. He moved to Ogden in 1895 and made that city his home until his death on November 15, 1923, being at that time aged 90 years. 7 months and 9 days. He was twice married, the first time at Monmouth, 111., to a Miss Underwood, to which union four sons and one daughter were born.

The wife died in the early seventies and one son followed a few years ago. The second marriage was in 1876 to Mrs. T. C. Dell of Washington, and to them two sons and five daughters were born, one son and two daughters preceding him In death.

Those surviving are the devoted wife, the four sons and four daughters, one stepson, E. L. Bell of Clay Center, and two step-daughters, all of whom. save one son in Conconully, were present at the funeral, and a num ber of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The funeral occurred Saturday last at Ogden, the sermon being by Rev.

Rogers of Manhattan. Members of the American Legion post at Ogden acted as pall bearers and there was a guard of honor and trumpeter from the Second U. S. cavalry at Fort Riley and the flags at Ogden and Manhattan hung at half mast. Mr.

and Mrs. Bell attended the funeral. Woods Mrs. Chas. Frank received a telegram Tuesday temng or the death of her sister Mrs.

Wm, Woods, at Colorado Springs that morning. It Is supposed that her death must have been sudden as her relatives did not know that she was ill. She is survived by one brother, Walter Mall, of Los Angeles, and four sisters, Mrs. A. L.

Duff of Holywood, J. M. Younkin of Mullen, J. M. Doyle of Lincoln, and Mrs.

Chas. Frank of Clay Center. Mrs. Duff iston her way from California to Colorado Springs and' will accompany tho body from there to Clay Center for burial beside her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs.

It cost one Kansas man $1,200 to fasten a board over his dwelling chimney opening at the ceiling and another $800 to smoke in bed, it is re vealed in the fire report for October, issued recently by Elmer E. Scott, state fire marshal.

Both these fires as well as 75 per cent of all others in Kansas were caused by carelessness. the fire marshal observes. Floyd Schultz has been showing the picture, "Down to the Sea in Ships," this week Monday and Tuesday. It was not a faked picture but a picture of real life on the sea, among the whaling vessels. The destruction of the row boat by a whale was taken of an actual Incident.

The moving picture men lived among the whalers for months in order to secure this picture. If the High school foot ball team de feats the Manhattan team in Clay Cen ter on Thanksgiving day, it is quite likely that the Topeka foot ball team will come here rfeht awav after Thanksgiving for a post season game. Tne Topeka team has been playing some good games this fall and if Clay county beats Manhattan, a game be tween the home boys and Topeka should be some game. George Stegman, who formerly lived out on Clay Center route 3, on the old Will Heimerich farm, but about a year ago moved down near Keats, bet ween there and Manhattan, has sold his farm In Riley county and expects to soon move back 'to Clay county, to again live on the old Keith farm, east of Clay Center, where his son Will has been living.

Nearby stood a golden-haired girt, watching them with unmistakable interest. "Will you leave my girl alone "She isn't your girl 1" Bingi Biff I They were at It hammer and tongs. The storekeeper's son put up a plucky flgit; but he was out-mastered from the beginning. In a minute the storekeeper's boy rolled in the dust. "Say, will you leave her alone?" "No." "111 smash your face in "Harry! For shams I Aren't yon ashamed; a boy of your age, striking down poor Roger! Go and find some one your own size to fight with.

The girl assisted Roger Benson to his feet and they walked away together. Harry Soames, the judge's son, watched them sullenly. He didn't quite understand. The girl ought to have gone to the victor. Why had she turned him dotfn? Harry Soames was back from college, and there was a big party up at the Soames place.

The Soames family was well connected. Myra was a distant connection, although a poor branch of the family. Still, she and her mother had been Invited to the garden party. The great tin of ice was late. But soon the wagon was seen careering along the road.

I know you wouldn't disappoint us. It was Myra speaking. Roger braced up, smiled back. Harry Soames gave her sullen glance. Somehow she seemed to have destroyed all the effect of his superiority.

And what did she mean by speaking like an equal to the son of a tradesman? And be recalled dimly now, years before, when he had beaten Roger In a fist battle, she had walked off with the vanquished instead of with the victor. Years had passed. Myra and Harry Soames were supposed to be as good as engaged. Roger, the young lawyer, had left off calling at the house. He was, In fact, ostracised In the town.

for he was handling the government case against the Soames. Father and son stood indicted for corruption and bribery and graft. It meant a sentence of long Imprisonment for both, If they were convicted. And Myra was their cousin. When she bad stopped to speak to Roger in the street he bad said: "I mustn't ask for your friendship any longer, Myra.

now I'm prosecuting. Let this be good-by." And Myra had hurried away. The effort of the young lawyer had attracted nation-wide recognition. It was an intricate case, an Involved one. and a terribly complicated one.

False evidence was rampant. It was the universal feeling that, despite young Benson's masterly handling. the Soames family could not be convicted. For one thing, they stood too high. They were as good as above the law.

The last address had been made. It was a speecn oy Benson tnat wouia make his reputation. No office was to be too high for him thenceforward. He knew that. He had heard the cheers that broke out in the courtroom with Inevitable satisfaction, but with a sinking heart.

This meant good-by to Myra forever. And he had dared to hope, to dream, that some day but now he knew it was hopeless. If he won, he could never speak to her again. If he lost she was, they said, only waiting until Harry Soames' name was cleared In order to marry him. The Jury was coming back, and he put the thought of Myra resolutely out of his mind.
