We have heard of persons who were
born good, indeed we know of some who
say they were born good, but we were
not, we know we were born sinner, and
an awful sinner, too, but then we feel
that we have chance, and our eye now
is on the chance; and, tell you what
friends, there is nothing like being good,
and we have set out to be good if not
gooder. If you are really and truly good,
you have new potatoes, and peas, and
beans, and such things, brought right to
your door. by friends who really do exert
themselves to make your life one long
summer dream. We knew a man once
who was so good he had more friends
than he knew what to do with, and he
used to loan them out. He fairly revelled
in them. of all sizes and all sorts. He
is the man we are patterning after. He
became president, all on account of his
goodness, and then he remembered all of
his friends with an ofiiee. This is just
what we shall do, and then these crumbs
of bread cast upon the waters will all
come back in huge loaves.

Windsor county, Vermont, in 1913; was
one of family of ten children, six broth
ers and four sisters, eight of the children
still surviving. He removed to Wiscon'
sin in 1867, and to Minnesota in 1859. In
1873 he was married to Miss Anna
Wright, of Linden, Wis, who with TO III
fatherless children now mourn his death
Mr.. Daniels was railroad employee
from his early boyhood, for the last thir
teen years with the Chicago, Milwaukee

company with J. s. Anderson, in 1850
thirteen years ago this month, and since
that time has been respected and hon
