Every church should set a-side money to be used for newspaper advertising, Rev. J. T. Bradner, of the Committee on Conservation and Advance of tbe Methodist-Episcopal Church, declared in an address at Chi cago Sunday. The church can send its message in the paper to non-church readers and to those of its members detained at home because of sickness, business and other causes, he said.

The preacher speaks to hundreds, while the newspapers speaks to thousands. Church members should assist cditois, but criticism of editors and editorial policies of news is harmful. Mrs. Win. Ottermann Sunday afternoon a large con course of relatives and friends gathered at the Evangelical Church at Marthasville, to pay the last tribute of respect to Mrs.

Wm, Ottermann, nee Maria Elise Luetkemeier, who departed this life Thursday evening rather unexpectedly. Mrs. Ottermann had always enjoyed fairly good health until a few weeks ago she became subject to attacks of weaknesses, caused by heart-disease. Her condition, how-even did not seem critical unt'l Wednesday night when she suf. fered a severe sinking spell, from which she apparently rallied during Thursday.

A few hours before her death she partook of the evening meal. Shortly after that she quietly and without any struggle sank into the cold arm' of mortality. As her husband had passed away five years ago; on the 22nd of February, on his birthday, so she entered into the rest of the children of God on her birthday, namely her 66th. The four daughters and three sons realized, as perhaps never before, that they were accompanying to their last resting place the mor tal remains of a dear, Christian mother, the two brothers-in-law, Fred and Henry Ottermann, who had made their home with her for many years, that they were losing an exceptionally consider ate sister-in-law, who had been a mother to them, and many, that a loyal friend had gone from them. Mrs.

Wnv. Ottermann was born February i857 and'eonsecrat- ed to the Tribune God by Holy Baptism in her infancy, March 24. She confessed her faith be fore many witnesses and was confirmed by Rev. F. Moeckli at Augusta, Mo.

Grown to young womanhood she entered into the estate of holy matrimony with Wm. Ottermann, November 6, 1879. Soon after their marriage the young couple moved to the farm 4 miles northwest of Mar thasville. Here they lived work ed and loved, establishing their home, which was made home in deed when in the course of time the children were born to them Their life was not all sunshine though for once the parent? alked in the valley of the -shadow of death when an infant son, and once when an mtant laughter was called to the Home Land. Again the dark clouds gathered when almost five years ago she and trie children ana relatives had to bury the husband and father.

She leaves to mourn four daughters: Mi 3. Herman Fort-mann, Mrs. August Mittler, Mrs. Slroy Kehr, Mrs. Erwin Hilge- ick; three sons: Benjamin, rank and Walter; one brother, Aug.

Luetkemeier, of Augusta; hree sisters: Mrs. Louis Koeh- ler, Schluersburg, Mrs, Ed. Bue- aemann, Independence, Mrs. John Schuster, Levasy; her step-Mother, Grandma Luetkemeier, ugusta; three half-brothers: Oscar and Ed. Luetkemeier, St.

Charles, and Ernil Luetkemeier, Augusta; one ha tf-sister, Mrs. Julius Enirelage, Augusta; two brothers-in-law: Fed and Henry Ottermann; two sisters-in-law: Mrs, August Marcks and Mrs. Jhrist Stegen, and eight grandchildren. The funeral services were con ducted by Rev. L.

Whittler, THE unhappy faculty of not remembering the clever things that would have been so pat and so divert' Ing If said Jn the drawtag-room until one Is going downstaIrs--that Is what the French call "resprft the wit of the staircase. A good many people there are who cart think of Im mensely clever things thatt they might have said, or that they would have said. It Is another case of that bird in hand It Is far better to say some thing only moderately clver, and say It when the occasion onsjes, than to say nothing at all and think of the amazingly clever thing too late. There are some persons who not only, think over what they Bald and what they might have said after It Is too late. but then bore thplr frftpnds by telling them what they might have said.

"I was thinking over what you said about admiring Barries plays last week. If I'd only thought of It at the time I would heive' asked you to use some tickets tht I had. I couldn't go, and as It was. they weren't used Or: "That story fan told was a good one. After I got koine and was thinking It over, I 1 1 nought of another one I know," and then follows a' story that Is only moderately humorous and has absolutely no bearing on the present trend of Hie conversation.

Many persons have difficulty In car rylng on their end of small talk. They are always seeking advice and help the subject. They buy books that promise to suggest subjects of conversation fop every conceivable situa tion, and thqy He awake nights before they are going to go to a social gather Ing of any sort, planning what clever things they can sny. Then when the time comes they seem to be dnzed. wnltlng for the situations that they huve anticipated to up.

They have a splendid story to tell abont camels, If only someone would guile the conversation to camels, and they have some Inside bit of Information about the kaiser; won't someone please run In the kaiser? Now If there Is any help at all to this tonguettedness It Is this: Remember that taking a clever part In the conversation means actual mental exertion. It means getting right Into the ring and making your brain work. It memis mental quickness. If you are nt used to this sort of mental alertness you will perhaps actually find it fntlgnlng at first, but It soon becomes a matter of course. There are pretty girls who think that all they have to do at a party Is to loot pretty.

And there are some less pretty girls who realize Uist they have to use their wits to make up for lesf attractive faces, and somehow it It often these girls who hare the most attention. And there are some conceited young men who seem to think that their personalities are sufficiently interesting to make up for all theii lack of wlttlness. They go to dinner psrtles content only to listen to what other people say sad to est the good -dinner. (T. 1SJ, by McCltire Kmnimr SyndtcHe) Aviators Find Colorado taken.
