The st. Paul correspondent FOR the New
Era recently had an item regarding the case
Of Mabel Stevens, who had Just recovered
from a serious illness OF rheumatism and
nervous trouble, and was able 10 be out for
the first time IN three months. The letter
stated that 1t was very bad case and her
recovery was such a surprise TO the neigh
bors that It created considerable gossip.
Being anxious 10 learn the absolute facts
in the case, 4 special reporter was sent TO
have a talk with the girl and her parents.
They were not at home, however, being some
distance away. \ message was sent TO Mr..
Stevens, asking him 10 write up a full his
tory OF the case, and few days ago the fol
lowing letter was received from Mrs.
Stevens:
