joyed the entertainment.

DRIVEN BY THE DEACON HIMSELF.

DRIVEN BY THE DEACON HIMSELF.
bingham parasol, was tear stained. As
the deacon slowly got out of the wagon
and tethered the horse he asked, with
fine show of cheerfulness:
"Has your mother heard from the
elder in day or two, John? No? Well,
Marthy and me was just driving by, and
we thought we'd make little visit, you
see, just to ask how your corn crop was
getting on, you know" Then, to his
wife in an undertone, he said: "Now,
be careful, Marthy. It's all right; it's
all right. It must be all right. I tell
you"
The deacon was one of the chief pill
lars in the church Of which the boys ia
ther, before going to the front, had been
pastor, and, like all in that neighborhood
and similar neighborhoods, the deacon
always spoke Of his minister as ''the
elder. This minister had been out
spoken in his patriotism during the first
year of the war. During the second he
had induced many Of the neighborhood' g
ablebodied men to enlist. Early in the
third he had himself marched away as
their captain, with the young men from
his own congregation who had offered
themselves to their country. If the boy
was doubtful about his fathers safety
before the deacon spoke, he was not aft
erward. It seemed to his young mind as
if the deacon has said between his audi
BILE words:
''The elder is killed, boy! Do you
hear? Killedp'
John hurried into the house with his
pail of cherries, kissed his mother and
started on run for the postoffice. It
was hot day, but he did not mind the
heat 1t is dor btful if he knew it was
hot. He thought only of the bare posi-
bility that he might get letter address,
ed to his mother or himself in his IA
theirs dear handwriting, and he ran till
nature was exhausted and he had to
stop and rest under the shadow of big
buttonball tree by the side of the road.
When he had regained his breath, he
started on again, but this time at a
more moderate pace, and as he ap-
preached the little general store where
the postofice was kept his footsteps
Jagged. He was afraid he would receive
the same answer that he had for days.
Nothing today, sonny. Tell your
mother the papers missed this week.
No, there is no letter. swan. wish
there was. )"
That was just the answer the boy did
receive when at last he crept into the
store between rows Of two tined hay
forks and wooden hand rakes, but there
was this addition by the kindly old post
master to the dreaded words that told
the story of no mail:
''Tell your mother that we may get
another mail today, and if we do we'll
send anything that comes for you right
up"
There was no regular service to the
little postofice, for no railroad ran
through the narrow valley, but the mail
was brought from the county seat, IL
miles distant, at intervals by any one
who went that way.

1t was two story frame house,
painted white and with green blinds,
and it stood a little way back from
the road that wound through narrow
valley between low hills Of second
growth timber. In front of the house
was a big, heavily fruited cherry tree.
A boy was perohed upon q ladder
among the branches, filling a tin pail
with the ruby fruit, his fingers flying as
if he we're competing with the birds,
who seemed to think they had mort
gage on all the cherries in the neighbor-
hood. But his haste had another cause.
His mother had but a moment before
told him that when he had filled the pail
three times he might go to the postoffice,
q mile farther down the valley, and in
quire for the mail.
The boy knew his mother to be quite
as anxious as he that the trip should be
made to the postofice. For more than a
week his daily visit after the mail had
been fruitless, and he was certain she
was worrying, in spite of her usual air
of cheerfulness, for the head of the lit
tie family was at the front. wearing a
blue uniform, and vague rumors were
afloat of bloody battle in Pennsylva-
mia.
Singularly enough, the mail had late
ly failed to bring newspapers, as we'll as
letters, and it had not been possible to
borrow from the neighbors as usual The
boy and his mother had not talked much
on the matter; but, whatever his mother
thought, he suspected bad news in the
papers-news that would explain why
there were no letters. He was impatient
to go to the postofice, but he dreaded
the visit, too, and this made him climb
down the ladder slowly when at last
the pail was filled for the third time.
AS his feet touched the earth he heard
the rattle of wheels, and looking around
he saw Deacon Nelson's big bay horse
and decent black democrat wagon, driven
by the deacon himself, draw near. The
deacon's countenance, which was gen.
orally smiling and jolly, was very SOL
emn now. and the face Of the deacon
wife, who sat on the back seat under {.

BELVIEW AND ITS BORDER.

There was a heavy rain in this Vi
cinity Sunday afternoon and evening.
An infant child of John Martins
was christened at the Swedes Forest
Lutheran church last Sunday.
Louis Forde has returned from
South Dakota and reports excellent
crop prospects in that State.
&c. Schoenfelder gave ball in

Rev. Burg thu Norwegian Lutheran
minister will conduct services in the

J. Dawson of Forde & Dawson,
made a trip to Redwood Falls last
Monday, returning on the afternoon
train.
Wheat now stands about six inches
high. The stand is superb. 1t is
thick and even and every indication
points to crop that will fill granaries

are also looking fine.
40. Gimmestad drove to Redwood
Falls last Monday. Mr.. Gimmestad
said that the roads we're heavy on &C
count of the rain the previous even
ing. He stated that it hailed slightly
in the vicinity of Delhi.
Miss Lee, teacher in this district,
left for her home in Mankato Satur-
day, her school having closed with a
concert Friday evening. 1t is hoped
that Belview will have school house
of it's own when the fall and winter
term opens.
There was an immense crowd. in at
tendance at the services in the Nor
wegian Lutheran churchsin SVedes
Forest last Sunday, when 1Rev. Burg
confirmed a class of between Is and
II children. A good many people
who attended were unable to secure
admission.
Wheat took a jump to 63 cents here
last Monday, the highest that it has
been for long time. The high price
of wheat and the brilliant crop pros
poets are having a tendency to revive
the spirits of farmers and business
men. This time, if crops and prices
are good, there will be great deal of
conservativeness on the part of farm
ers in selling their grain and making
purchases. In other words, they will
lay by for rainy day.
Andrew Gimmestad was scheduled
for census enumerator for this COM
missioner district by the powers that
be. But since the census districts
can only comprise two townships and
Mr., Gimmestad has been made aware
of this fact he declares that there is
not enough in it for him to enumer-
ate. His district comprises the towns
of Kintire and Swedes Forest, includ-
ing Belview village, if he desires to
take the job.

one Of the men hastily stuck a newspa-
per, from which he had been reading to
the others, into his pocket.
In the little parlor of the white house
there were several women younger than
Deacon Nelson's wife. Their husbands
were soldiers, too, and at the front with
the preacher. The boy s mother was sit
ting in the center of a circle of kneeling
women, her eyes set and fearless, but
there was sound of subdued sobbing
from some of the others. The deacon
was just beginning a prayer.
Dear Lord, our heavenly Father"
quavered the deacon in tender and rev.
erent tones. Then he stopped. What
was that?
The boys ear was not the only one
that caught the sound of fife and drum,
the fife playing merrily, "Rally Round

you know how it sounds, reader-while
the drumsticks were beating out the
time in lively measure.
A moment more, and the rattle of a
wagon coming down stony slope in
the road was heard. Then there was a
cheer, and the fife and drum changed to
"Yankee Doodle. Presently the wagon,
in which sat the postmaster himself,
the blacksmith, the cooper and the boys
who were playing the fife and drum
drove noisily up. The old postmaster al:

up the path to the door. He was quite
breathless, but he held aloft in his hand

Every body gathered around her as she
took the missive, but it wasn't opened
just yet, for she tainted before she could

said:

safely to the end and bring us all togeth-
or again.
"Let us sing the Doxology, Praise
God, from whom all blessings flow, 4"
said Deacon Nelson, while his eyes
streamed. Then they all sang with the
spirit and the understanding also. When
the singing was over, the newspaper
that had been hidden from the boy was
brought out It told of the battle of Get

in the list of the missing.
