A Friendly Gander.

The following story is given as
true by an exchange. We will not
vouch for it:
"a certain man owned a blind
horse. A flock of geese occupied
the pasture jointly with him. A
gander, seeing the difficulty the
horse had to get around, attached
himself to the horse, leaving his
fellows for that purpose. All day
long the gander could be seen
going in front of the horse, giving
signs of his presence by a constant
cackle; the horse following the
sound, the gander led the horse
to the best pasture and to water.
At night the gander accompanied
the horse to the stall, sat under the
trough, and the horse would occa-
sionally bite off mouthful of corn
and drop it on the ground for his
feat cred friend; and thus they
would share each others meals.
Finally, one Sunday, the old horse
died, the gander seemed utterly
l)st, wandered round disconsolate-
~ refusing food; and at the end of
week he, too, died, although his
life had just begun, for a goose will
live many years.

The faker is again abroad in the
land. This time it is the call wool

''eXtra fine wooden goods" with the
usual story that bankrupt sale, and
the seller is travelling for his health
and to benefit mankind in general
and the farmers in particular, says
Wilmar Argus. The goods are always
of the very poorest quality, composed
of cotton, shoddy fiocks and all such
low grade stock, we'll worked in full
ing, and carefully finished to cover
defect. They are no good After
loading the farmer down with this
perfectly worthless trash, the faker
clinches him with a note, which is
sold at the local banks. The farmer
has the note to pay, and pays it; the
faker has the money and skips. If

class prices your local merchants
would know it and keep them on

DEATH OF wendell BIENAPFL.

Wendell Bienapf, son Of Geo. Bien-
apf, departed this life few minutes
before the whistles blew for II o'clock
noon Wednesday. He was taken
down with the grip on the 9th day OF
January and after several weeks of
pain and suffering, managed.to return
to his duties. a few days later he had
relapse from which he never rallied,
but continued to sink until death

Austria, March 25th, 1865. Two years
later he came to this county with his

he was engaged in learning cigar
making at H. r. Wickings' establish
ment. One Sunday, with several 9TH
er young men, he took ride on hand
car and in some way fractured an
arm, which necesSitated the amputa-
ton of the member so useful in life.
Being a bright and energetic person,
Mr.. Bienapf put his knowledge to a
good use by becoming school teach
er in one of the county schools, where
he taught in such a manner as to re-
fleet credit upon the school and him
self. He gave up teaching after a
time and became an employe of
Messrs. Vahle s. Westhoff. His pop
ularity among the people was of no
small measure and in 1889 he was
nominated and elected City Recorder

years later he was again nominated
for the same Office and was once more
elected. The position of City Re-
corder is responsible one and with it

now left as consolation to the be-
reaved and sorrow-stricken wife.

BRIGHT LIGHT GONE OUT.

John @. Simpson, who has been
sick for about three months, died last
night, at $50 o'clock. He was taken
sick on the first day of January, and
although every attention was paid
him, he grew worse and last night bis
soul took its flight.
Deceased was born at Stockbridge,
Mass, March Is, 1912. At the age OF
five years he left the east and located
for time in Illinois, but removed
after short time to Fond du Lac,
Wis. When the war broke out and
volunteers were called for, he re-
sponded and served his country in. the
cavalry until his discharge. In the
year 1864 he removed to Mankato,
and soon thereafter was appointed
local agent of the American Express
Company. in which capacity he served
faithfully and well for 16 years. The
company approaching his worth as a
trusty employe, promoted him to the
position of messenger, his route being
from ST. Paul to Council Bluffs, Iowa.
For the past three years he has been
what is known as route agent, whose
duty it is to visit the various offices in
his district, and see that everything
is all right. Time and time again the
company showed their appreciation of
his services, and even during his sick
ness he received his salary.
In the early days when steamboats,
were seen plying the river here, he
was agent for that company as well as
agent for the stage line running from
here to Winona and also to st. Paul.
At that time railroads were an I'M
known quantity here. Mr.. Simpson
was married several years after COM
ing to this city and was blessed with
two daughters, Matte and Hattie.
The life of John G. Simpson cannot
be written in few words. He was be-
loved and respected for his kindly
manner and splendid disposition. In
every sense he was man among men.
and wherever he went he made friends.
While his sky was heavy with clouds
of impending gloom, he looked beyond
and there found hspe and comfort.
When those who had been untiring
in their efforts to tighten his burdens
of suffering saw the end approaching.
his sister, Mrs. B. Dec, of Eldora.
Iowa, was sent for and was by his
side when his spirit fled to the God
who gaveit. Deceased leaves behind
him the fruits of life, well balanced
and well lived, and it can be truly
said of him, "Well done thou good
and faithful servant, enter into the
rest prepared"
John G. Simpson is dead, but his
life work will remain and be talked
of fer years to come. The tender
