Lake told of in incident in his experience
which illustrates how little is sometime
known by those who ought to be posted
Many years ago brother of Mr.. Lake
was thrown from sleigh and had {
shoulder dislocated. A doctor was called
and after working while with the in
jured man pronounced him all right, the
joint had been Strengthened, and so on
Seeing that such was not the case G. w
Lake fixed up rude contrivance, placed
his brother in position, and by main
force pulled at the limb until the joint
sprang "into shape" This seemed to sur
prise the doctor more than any one else.
But that was not in this community.

Several cars off at the G. w. & B. de-
off IT O
dy called at the Standard Office this after
noon. Mr.. Bundy has taken the paper
constantly for ytorty-oaae gears, and always
paid the printer. A man with such a re-

we have always regarded Mr.. Bundy as
friend as firm as the eternal rocks, and as
true as the needle to the pole. And he is
such friend to all mankind. -. Charlie
