Katherine Prisby; Mfes Katherine Frisby, a lo*fg $£ne and highly respected citizen of McHenry, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 4, at the home of her sister, Mrs. B. Relihan, on Richmond road, with whom she had made her home since the death of her father and mother, Miss Frisby was apparently in her usual good health up until a few hours before her demise. Her con dition becoming alarming, a physician was summoned and all that the best of medical aid, coupled with the tender and loving ministrations" of her devoted family, was done to stay the Angel of Death, but to no avail and at 4:30 o'clock Tuesday morning her soul answered the summons of its Creator. Katherine Frisby, daughter of Ellen and Thomas Frisby, was born April 11, 1856, in the town of Nunda. She received her education in the district schools of Nunda. Some years later her parents purchased a home on Green street, McHenry, and resided there until their deaths a few years ago. Since then she had shared the companionship of a devoted sister, Mrs. Relihan, living for some time on the Relihan farm, south of this city, moving two years ago to McHenry. where she resided at the time of her death. Miss Frisby leaves to, mourn her passing, three sisters, Mrs. John Bolger of Woodstock, Mrs. John Carey and Mrs. B. Relihan of McHenry, one sister, Mrs. Kane, preceding her in death a short time ago; two brothers, John Phalin of McHenry and George Phalin of Tuscaloosa, Ala.; sixteen nieces and twelve nephews. The deceased was a staunch and faithful member of the Altar and Rosary society of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic church, from which the funeral services were conducted Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. William O'Rourke officiating.. Six nephews acted as pallbearers. Interment was in St. Patrick's cemetery.

Many "Cold*" Caused by Poor Ventilation To find better il?r?entlve methods, doctors in recent years have been studying the common cold more carefully than ever, and two authorities have summarized the supposed causes of this affliction under five headings: chills and drafts, conditions of the weather, Irritation of the membrane on the breathing apparatus, Infection and bad ventilation. The last is regarded as the commonest of all the cause8, as warm stagnant air produces congestion and swelling In the mucous membrane which becomes covered with a thick secretion and affords a weak spot for germs to attack. In cool air, this membrane remains taut and well moistened. Then, in a poorly ventilated room, cold currents of air are likely to strike the feet while the head is exposed to the warm, polluted upper atmosphere. This 1* Just the reverse of what is considered the ideal condition for health, "cool breezes blowing around the head, the radiant heat of the sun, and a warm ground to stand on." Exposure alone will not cause colds In healthy Individuals, the doctors declare. A.rctlo explorers, fishermen, and others who remain out of doors for long hours In stormy, cold weather, often seem Immune from these disorders. Irritation of the mucous membrane of the respiratory passages by dusts and chemicals Is also a common cause of colds. --Popular Mechanics Magazine. & ELMO SCOTT WATSON What Is a Pirate? Plrtte, a. A robber «•' Ik* high nu; * (r**boot«r; a buccaneer. SO SATS Mr. Webster, the friend of the cross-word puzzle fan, but his definition needs considerable qualification. It Is doubtful if there was ever a pirate who was born to his profession. He usually began life at sea as an honest sailor. Perhaps a captain's cruelty caused the crew to mutiny, kill the bated officer, setae the ship, elect a new leader and go "on the account." Or he may have been an honest seaman who was captured by some pirate leader and was compelled to enter aervlce under the freebooter. Sometimes, It mast be admitted, he willingly enough enrolled among the "brethren of the coaet" and embarked upon the career which led inevitably to one end--the gallows. Then, again, he may have commanded a privateer ship during one of the interminable wars of the nations who, two or three hundred years ago, were contesting for supremacy of the seas. In such a case he carried on legitimate warfare under a king's commission or a "letter of marque" against the shipping of his country's enemy. So on these privateering raids he learned his lessons of bloodshed and robbery. Another thing about pirates and piracy--the definition of these is largely a matter of point of view. Sir Francis Drake is one of England's greatest heroes, bat the most ardent hero worshiper of the days when England was mistress of the seas cannot deny that Drake's earlier voyages were little more than buccaneering expeditions, even though his later exploits had the seal of royal approval as privateering expeditions against the hated Spaniard. But could you have asked King Philip to characterize Drake, it is unlikely that be would have spoken of him otherwise than as a "wicked and abandoned pyrate." Sauce for the goose Is sauce for the gander--what American boy has not thrilled at the deeds of John Paul Jones? Yet a British historian who Wrote a "History of Highwaymen and Pirates" in 1814 gave Jones a prominent place as a pirate. And as late as 1924 another British chronicler of piratical deeds includes In his list of "Some Famous Pirate Ships and Their Captains" the names of the Bon Homme Richard and Capt. Paul Jones.
