A HARD EXPERIENCE.
To Escape from Officer W. F. Clark Takes
to the Woods.

Some time ago man, who gave the
name of Willis F. Clark, went to Knight
vile, with his family consisting of wife
and three children. He told such a
moving story to Mr.. Foster of that place
of being out of work with no shelter for
his wife and children for the night, that
Mr.. Foster took them in and made them
comfortable. But the next day Mr.. Clark
and family did not depart, nor for several
days ther eafter. Then Mr.. Foster gave
such broad h int that Clark hired q
house at Willard, and moved in some
furniture. He paid no rent and got q
carpenter to put up small building for
restaurant. When the carpenters pay was
not forthcoming be took possession Of the
building.
At Willard Clark piled his furniture
into cart. after having been evicteG
from the house, and no one knew whore
he had gone. 1t seems that he tried to
lease farm at Scarboro and parties here
learning where he was, gave the papers to
Constable Willard and he arrested Clark
yesterday and brought him to the city
and lodged him in jail, where it was said
last night that he was arrested for debt.
Consta BILE Willard said that the warrants
intlmated fraud on account Of the man
n-r in which Clark left the house at
Willard. He further said that when he
got to Scarboro he had to get Scarboro
officer to help him arrest Clark, as his
authority did not extend to that town.
When Clark saw them he ran out of the
back door and made for the woods, where
after search, they found him. At first
he was inclined to resist, but finally con-
Guided to go with the officers. Clark says
he came from Providence and is AZ years
old.

Goddess of Health.

When you nestle among the lofty peaks
of your summer mountain home, when
the blue hills blend with the azure heav-
ems, when the white clouds are born, in
the ''land of the sky; or perchance you
float upon the liquid stream which has
parted the grand old mountains, as
it ripples and murmurs along verdant
banks; or, sailing under the
shadow of a mighty cliff, you wait and
listen to the enraptured music of the
dashing, sparkling waters of the babling
brook as they leap from crag to crag in
tier bewildering dash for the river,
which bears them on to the ocean; ur,
mayhap, you MAY witness the finishing
stroke of the sunset scene as if with a
magic wand, the painted tints of the
West are blended from horizon to hori-
zon in halo of glory such as none but
the hand OF the Almighty can portray :;
when in the midst of these summer wan
behring's in quest of recreation, rest and
quiet, remember that the Goddess of
Health has taken up her abode in every
barrel of "Ceresota'' flour; and if your
landlord is not already using ''Ceresota"
for his bread and breakfast rolls,
be sure and recommend him to do so,
and insist that it is a matter of business
for him to thus look after the comfort,
health and repose OF his guests. 1t seems
as though nature had cast its subtle in
fuence around and about the dusty
miller" in whose brain was conceived
and by whose delicate hand was formed
the wonderful machinery which, by the
aid OF the Great Creator, who caused the
wheat to grow, has produced the only
perfect patent spring wheat
-four, known by the popular name of
'Ceresota," manufactured by the Con-
solidated Milling Company, Minneapolis,
and for sale by every wide-awake, high
class grocer in every part of the country.
