Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1895-12-06

A young English diplomat fell in love
with the handsome sister, and knowing
that her marriage had already been ar
ranged for with someone else, he hit
upon an unusual plan for attaining his
purpose. He procured large, coffin
like box, fitted it with cushions and
holes for ventilation, placed quantity
of food inside, and then concealed it
near the girls home, having previously
given orders to commissary to carry
il to the address indicated The plain
sister was in the secret and was to as
sist in the escape. At the last moment,
however, the courage of the beautiful
one failed, and no argument could in
duce her to go. Here was crisis, in
deed, and not wishing the expectant
lover to be disappointed, and having
a fancy for him herself, the other sis
ter lay down in the box, which was
forthwith nailed up and shipped to its
destination, where it arrived twenty
four hours late, with the girl safe and
sound. The young diplomats conduct
when he opened the box and discovered
the exchange of sisters that had been
made was admirable. If he felt any dis
appointment he concealed it, assuring
the girl that the pluck and devotion
she had shown were more precious to
him than was her sisters beauty. So
he married her, and they were happy
ever after.

CARDINAL VIRTUES.
They Are Prudence, Justice, Fortitude
and Temperance.

They Are Prudence, Justice, Fortitude
and Temperance.
BE thou vigilant, labor in all things,
do the work of an evangelist, fulfill
thy ministry. Be SOBER" ii. Tim iv, 8.
These cardinal virtues of Christianity
are the characteristics of the true faith.
and the source of all other virtues. The
epistles Of st. Paul are full of warning
against the evils that surround us, as
well as of admonition to practice JUS
tice, not only in dealing with our neigh
bors, but towards God and even toward
ourselves, likewise they are teeming
with words of encouragement to COM
bat bravely all trials for the love OF
God, as also to be temperate in all
things. BY acquiring the virtue of pru-
dence we are enabled to discern the
evils of the world. to know God and to
practice the duties of Christian life.
Justice enables us to render unto
Caesar the things which are
Caesars" to act conscientiously to-
ward our neighbors in all things, and
ito God the things that belong to God"
doing His will and in all things seek
ing His glory. Fortitude strengthens
and encourages us in the path of Chris
tian virtue, besides giving us strength
to resist temptation, and to bear brave
ly all trials for the love of God. Tenn
perance is an essential virtue, and by
faithfully preserving it we are strength
ened in life and blessed with many spir-
itual graces. HE that is abstinent,
saith the wise man, shall increase in
life" A practical Christian will not be
satisfied with merely fulfilling the law
of God, by discharging the duties re-
quired Of him, but he will likewise en-
deavor to strengthen his faith by the
practice Of such virtues as will in
crease his sanctity and promote Gods
glory, in fact, it is as much a duty to
emulate all true virtue as to profess
our faith, inasmuch as Faith without
good works availeth nothing" Besides
it is eminently meritorious, for by so
doing we not only draw down great
blessings on ourselves in this life, but
we thereby store up rich treasures in
Heaven, which will greatly increase
our inheritance, toward which we are
looking forward.-Francis S. Mitchell.

TOLD HIS FRIENDS.
Discovered Good Fishing for Himself
and Mates.

anu
Once upon time Lake MERGED stood
high in the estimation of city anglers,
says the San Francisco Bulletin 1t was
accessible and didn't require much in
fiuence to cast line into it's waters.
Big fish fingered among the weedy
depths and browsed along the sandy
shores on the western end Cornelius
Stage then kept a roadhouse opposite
the old race-track, and there was
good dinner for the belated angler I'M
der his roof and fragrant claret. Scott
Tfdball, the artist, John Adams and
dozens of worthy fishermen since de-
parted have swung their rods over the
ripples of MERGED and compared notes
around the blazing fire at night, and
were, perhaps, as boastful and menda-
cious as the anglers of the generation
that succeeded them.
The trout era passed away and was
followed by an epoch of carp. Those
mudgrabbers fattened on the bordering
grasses and led an undisturbed and ig
nominious Incidence. Nobody wanted
them at any price and the barnacles
grew up on the elders of the gang
from simple and unbroken laziness.
Then another change took place, and
the fish commissioners announced that
they were going to put muskellonge
into the lake. A month or so after
ward they did and it was supposed the
reign Of the carp was ovev and thct
the ferocious fresh water sharks would
completely exterminate them.
A sagacious sea lion felt recently
that there must be something worth
seeing beyond the neighborhood of the
Cliff house and Sutero heights. So he
made journey to Lake MERGED and
found the water and the surroundings
congenial. He tasted the carp and ap-
proved of their flavor, and being
genial and generous lion, he returned
to the seal rocks and told his chums
where he had been and what he had
seen. An excursion party, consisting
of select number of gentlemen and
lady marine lions, was at once organ
lied, and on a fine moonlight night
the band started for MERGED. Every
tuluS WdS just dS the pioneer udU rep
resented and brilliant season of feed
ing and general enjoyment was inaug-
urated
About this time the Spring Valley
company drew net across the lake
to see how the muskellonge were get
ting on. The sea lions, now perma-
nent residents of the lake, laughed
heartily at the experiment and waved
their f1appers to the fishermen to en-
courage them to keep on with their nets
and let them know how many muskel-
longe were left. For the muskellonge
had got to the last dozen or so of carp
when the sea lions came in, and the
sea lions had done up the muskel-
longe when the experimental nets were
cast. Nothing but few catfish and
stickleback now remain in Lake Mer-
ced. The sea lions are still there, but
unless some more stocking is done, and
pretty soon at that, they will return to
the sea rocks.

Fathers Domestic Headship.

DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst ID. D., in
November Ladies' Home Journal writes
concerning THE Fathers Domestic
Headship:" While, perforce of ordi-
nary circumstances, the fathers duties
will hold him considerably apart from
the contacts CT home life, yet what
ever successes he may achieve outside
will not atone for any failure on his
part to regard his home as the prime
sphere of his obligation and the point
around which his devotements will
cluster in distinguished earnestness
and constancy. Whatever he may have
achieved in his art, trade, profession
or other engagement, the man who
stands at the head of household has
been in the broad sense of the term a
failure If he has not been a true hus-
band and wise, strong and devoted
father. 1t cannot be successful home
where the mother looks after the chill
dren and the father looks after his bust
ness. The most productive services
rendered are always personal, and any
amount Of exertion expended outside
in providing for the necessities of the
home will not take the place of that
tuitional ministry which comes only by
the direct and continuous contact Of
father with child. However complete
woman may be as mother, there are
qualities of character which the faith
er will communicate to his children
that the mother will be less able to do
as we'll as less intended to do.

Deafness Can Not BE Cured

BY local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When the tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
