THE GOOD WE May DO:
Even the Smallest Seed Of Kindness Will Bring
Harvest.

Even the Smallest Seed Of Kindness Will Bring.
Harvest.
When doing kind act how seldom
one stops to think what the results.
may be. Yet the simplest act of
kindness not infrequently proves to be-
the foundation stone of high and noble
lives The writer calls to mind an
instance where q very simple act of
kindness proved to be of lasting benefit
to the receiver. One rainy Sunday
years ago q little girl was wandering
listlessly about poorly furnished
room in her home in search of some
thing with which to amuse herself
and help shorten a long and dreary
day. Finding nothing to interest her
she stepped to window and began
counting the raindrops as they fell on
the window sill and rolled off. A lady
across the way CHANGED to see her and
thought the child looked lonely. When
the rain ceased for few moments she
went into her beautiful grounds and
cutting a large bunch of purple lilac
bloss oms, beckoned to the child to,
come and get them. The little girl
being an ardent lover of flowers ap-
preclated the simple offering more
than older people would value costlier
gifts. and all the remainder of that
gloomy and cherries day the cluster
OF purple flowers was COM
fort and pleasure to her. To
her the delicate construction of
each tiny petal was beautiful and
Interesting study. While thus engaged
it occurred to her that painting and
faithfully portraying flowers must be a.
very beautiful occupation. With the
thought came great longing to be-
come an artist. why should 1 not.
be an artist?" she said. Taking pen
Gil and paper she seated herself before
the bunch of lilac blossoms and CON-
menced to draw. At first her efforts
were very far from representing the
flower she loved so much. However,
never getting discouraged, she spent
the rest Of the day practicing drawing
That was twenty-five years ago. The
little girl is now an artist, whose name
encirc]es the globe, whose flower,
piece S, for beauty and delicacy, have
few equals. One thing she never
tires of painting is lilac blossoms.
When some one spoke of this she re-
piled: "All that am I owe to these
beautiful blossoms, and to the kind
ness OF the lady who gave them to me.
For with them came the first inspira-
ton, the first longing to be something
above what I was, and the yearning
for this pure and refining art. 1t
seems strange thing to say, that all
the love of art possess was awakened
in me by so simple a gift, but so it
was"

Under Arrest.
Sioux CRY, Iowa, Special Telegram, Dec.
31.-Sherif Magner returned to-day from
Window, Mimi. with Nels Peterson, who
is charged with defrauding A. T. Larson of
this city out of s., 500 worth Of property by
false representations There has been con-
siderable difficulty experienced in getting
legal hold on Peterson, and County Attor-
ney Bennington has visited Window several
times on the matter.
This case is one of the many that have
been the result of the wholesale frauds
practiced by the now detuncr firm of Fred
erickson & Co. of Chicago. Some time last
year Nels Peterson entered into nego-
tiations with Mr.. Larson, wishing to
trade land in Cottonwood county, Mimi,
for a lot of horses and mules. Mr. Peter
son was acting as agent for Fredercksen &
Co.. and after some little delay the trade
was made. In return Larson received a
contract for deed for the land and he
went to Chicago to secure the papers, At
this time the great fraud was exposed, and
Larson found that his deeds were not worth
the paper they were written on.
PETERSON and man named Olson were
indicted by the grand jury of this county.
Peterson is accompanied by his attorney,
and arrangements are being made to secure
bail.

GILL AND THE STRANGER.

The Latter Spurns an Apology with Dis
A few nights ago as Mr.. De Lancey Gill,
the artist, was returning home from his club
he accidentally brushed the arm Of stranger
in passing. He apologized, but to his surprise
the stranger turned abruptly and in anger de-
clared that it was premeditated act. This
aroused Mr.. Gill's ire, and he replied that 1t
was no more his fault than the strangers.
The latter at this struck out with his heavy
right fist and smote Mr.. Gill on the lips Mr..
Gill is of rather slight build and looks too
delicate to do much in the way of scrapping,
but his appearance is deceptive, as he is sur
prisingly strong Although the blow stag
gered him for moment he soon righted, and
gave his assailant few on his own account.
The street was quiet and little frequented, the
hour being late, so the combat continued on
for several minutes. Finally the stranger
was thoroughly licked and deposited at full
length upon the pavement with pair of
beautiful black eyes and a rapidly swelling
nose, from which blood flowed copiously
Seeing that nothing more in the way of ex-
citement was to be had Mr.. Gill proceeded on
his journey, full of the sweet consciousness of
duty well performed. Just who the rash
stranger who made the onslaught was Mr..
Glll does not know positively, but he is
thought 10 be a callow youth who has taken
few boxing lessons recently and became
pulled up with sophomore pride in his imagi-
nary mastery of the manly art.
