The object of washing is to make
things clean, sweet and pure, and the
first requisite is to have clean, sweet,
pure soap, such as Maple Grove, so
rich in soap quality that it does the
work effectually, without slavish rub
bling, and so pure and nice,-well, it's
just lovely-and women who use it
raise their voices with the birds in the
tree tops, as they sing the high praises
of sweet, pure Maple Grove Soap, and
all the people will sing its high
praises when they learn of its wonders.

A Stearns County Enoch Arden.

A story comes from St. Joseph of the
return of a missing man, who found
that during his obsence of many years
his wife had been married to another.
The report cannot be verified from the
first parties but the facts as near as can
be learned in this city are about as fol-
lows: On Feb. 18th, 1882, Matthias
Verkennes and Anna Gross were mar
ried at Fieeport, this county. They
lived together for some time and a
child was born to them. After this the
husband suddenly disappeared and his
wife never heard anything from him
and finally gave him up as dead. She
came to ST. Cloud where she worked
to sustain herself and the child. Here
she met Chas. Pogrzeba and believing
her husband to be dead she married
this man Jan. 1st, 1892. They were
married in Minneapolis by Judge
Stephen Mahoney, of the municipal
court.
A few days ago Matthias Verkennes
returned to St. Cloud after an absence
of six or eight years and inquiring for
his wife found that she had been mar.
ried as stated in the foregoing. The
Pogrzebas now live on a farm owned
by A. W. Kraemer in the town of ST.
JOseph.-St. Cloud Times.

Shem, Ham and Japhet.

Whatever one may believe in regard
to the Biblical account on the estimate
placed by Noah upon the merits and
capabilities of his three sons, Shem
Ham and Japhet, there can be no
doubt that there is wide difference
between the Semitic people and de-
scendants of Japhet, as to the direction
of their mental activity. Religions
and PHILOSOPHERS have had their orr gin
in the East, Indicating that the Semi
tic mind concerns itself more with
philosophical reflection and specula-
tion than with the improvement of
earthly surroundings. The Teutonic
nations, on the other hand, though for
ages behind their Oriental brethren in
philosophy have always been intensely
practical. 'What relation will this
bear to us now? How will it effect our
present condition." have been the two
supreme questions. Consequently we
find the Teutonic peoples the pioneers
| in discovery, in the mechanic arts, and
as we might expect, the inventors of
the steamship, the railroad, and the
practical improvements which develop
modern civilization. No country is
more thoroughly practical than our
own, and here it is that we find the
greatest and best equipped railroads of
the world. Occupying the front rank
is the Burlington Route, with its 1000
miles of track, reaching all points in
theseentral West, E For maps and time

The washout on the railroad was of
unusual magnitude, carrying away the
grade on the Eastern and St. Cloud &
Hinckley at the junction for as much
as 100 feet each way. Four cars of
coal were slid into the lake and steel
rails were twisted like so much wire.
The road has been built on piling now

Joseph Vancourt, of South Harbor,

Anoka Union: 1.-THE physician upon

they thought wise to take at one time.
If this does not disappear, I will have
to undergo another operation. How
