CHAS. D. JEWETT Mrs. C. D. Martha. Jewett was born August 72, 1839, at Molina, Franklin ounty, New York. In later years she noved to North Dakota to live with a brother at Fargo, where she met C. DT Jewett, a boyhood friend, a pion eer cf Lancaster county, whom she married. Grandma Jewett, as she was af fectionately known, came to Nebraska for the first time last May. While camping at the Epworth assembly she had a paralytic stroke which was fol lowed by the second and the third, which caused her death on September 28th, 1918. While Grandma Jewett was not well known in Lincoln she was most favorably known by her relatives and friends. She impressed herself upon others by her attention manner and kind and loving disposition. Her greeting was always with a smile and her hand clasp with the warmth of the heart, never failing to make you feel hat kind and loving yet sturdy, thoughtful friendship for others so common among the old stock of New York. She was laid to rest in the Waverlv cemetery, and besides her husband, Chas. D. Jewett, is survived by four stepsons, Erwin W. Dexter, T. Pearl C, and Perry W. CONTRIBUTED. From Lincoln Daily S jir, Sunday, Oc tober 6, 1918.) Value of Introspection. To do anything worth while we must be something worth while, and we can not be If we take It all out in talking. The mind must receive Impressions be fore It can give theia, the heart must feel before It ran make others feel, the soul must be filled before It can over flow. If people would only live more. If they would only think more. If they would only sit In sllenro alone wltn their souls now and then, the words they gave out would mean so much more. Hut alas and alack, the art of conversation Is not lost. It Is flowing on and on until oue longs for silence with a great and overwhelming longing that only silence may satisfy. Ex change. , .
