New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1896-04-22

Several part ocular acq uintances Of mine
were talking on the steps as we passed
out.
Well, old Stars gone up. Sudden,
wasn't it he was fIst.rate fellow"
Yes; queer about some things, but he
had some mighty good streaks, " said an
other. And so they ran on.
Streaks So that is the reputation one
gets during twenty years Of life IN this
world. Streaks
After the funeral / rode home with the
family. It was pleasanter than the ride
down, though it seemed sad to my rela-
ions. They did not mention me, how
ever, and may remark that, although I
stayed about home for week, never
heard my name mentioned by any Of the
| family. Arrived at home, the tea kettle
was put on, and supper got ready. This
seemed to lift the gloom little, and un-
der the influence of the tea they brigh-
tened up, and gradually got mole cheer
full. They discussed the sermon and the
singing, and the mistake of the sexton
in digging the grave in the wrong place,
and the large congregation. From the
mantel- piece watched the group. They
bad waffles for supper of which I had
been exceedingly fond, but now l saw
them disappear without a sigh
| For the first day or two @ fmy sojourn
at home / was here and there at all the
neighbors, and heard a good deal about
my life and character, some IF which
was not very pleasant, but very whole
some, doubtless, for me to hear. At the
expiration of week this amusement
ceased to be such, for I ceased to be
talked of. I realized the fact that was
dead and gone.
! By an act of volition found myself
back at college. I tloated into my own
room, which was empty. went to the
room of my two warmest friends, whose
friendship was, and am yet, assured Of.
| AS usual, half dozen of our set were
lounging there. A game of whist was
just commencing. perched on bust
OF Dante on the top of the book-shelves,
where could see two of the hands and
give good guess at third. My parti-
cular friend Timmins was just shutting
the cards.
"Be hanged if it isn't lonesome with
out old Starr. Did you cut? I should
like TO see him lounge in now with his
pipe, and with feet on the mantcl- piece
proceed to expound on the duplex func.
lions of the soul.''
.'There-misdeal said his VISA Wis

"Spades, did you say?" the talk raj
on. II never knew Starr was sickly."
':No more was he; stouter than YOU
are, and as bravo and plucky as he wa
strong. BY George, fellows, how we dt

"Remember the joke he played o.

"Remember he borrowed ten dollars q
me about that time" said Tlmmins'
partner, gathering the cards for a ne'
