without cost the New England Home
Magazine.
A remarkable instance of newspaper
enterprise has just been impressed upon
! the people by the Boston Sunday Journal
With every number of the Sunday paper,
each week, is given absolutely free the
corresponding number of the New Eng
land Home Magazine.
This magazine is celebrated for its pro-
fuse and beautiful illustrations and for
its choice of articles particularly interest
ing o New England people. How it is
possible for a newspaper to give its read
erS, without a cent of extra cost, such an
expensive publication is difficult to un-
derstand, but the fact remains that the
Boston Sunday journal is doing it, and
Boston Sunday journal readers reap the
advantage. The New England Home
Magazine is surpassed by none of the
the high-priced magazines in the quality
of its illustrations, and has the added
value that the people and events which it
pictures are those in which the public is
at the time especially interested.
As to size, the New England Home
Magazine gives its readers more pages a
month than any of the other well-known
magazines, there being a total of 1922
Regarding the high standing of its CON
tributors, the fact that an army story by
Capt. Charles King is new running, and
( a series of short stories by Sienkiewiezy
the famous author of ''Quo VadiS' is to
begin in next Sundays number gives suf-
ticient indication. The lasting value of a
file of this magazine, kept complete from
W eek to week, and the attractive volume
which could be made by binding it, is ca
silly seen.
The Boston Sunday journal thus gives
its readers now: First, The New Eng
land Home Magazine. high class publ
cation with wealth of illustration; sec
ond, the Illustrated Weekly, a novel
eight page section, illustrated by the ex-
pensive half-tOne process; third, the Fea-
ture Section, containing articles of strik-
ing interest attractively presented; 4th

the world from the Associated Press and

these claims. Take nothing but the

The Fever Triumphs.

After bravely battling for two
weeks with that dreaded malady ty-
phoid fever, VIM. J. Hosken was
| compelled to surrender last Friday
afternoon, and this esteemed young
citizen is forever removed from our
presence.
Until the evening before his death
there was strong hope of his racov-
cry. Indeed for the few days pre-
ceding he seemed to be improving.
A relapse came on Thursday and he
rapidly sank till the end about
O'Clock on the afternoon of Friday,
December 9th.
Deceased was son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w O. Hosken, born in England
July 6, 1866. When about year old
he came with his mother to Mineral
Point, his father having come in adj
vance. Eere he grew to manhood,
attending the city schools and ac-
quiring a fair business education.
For some years he conducted a meat
market here. Later rented and con-
Quoted farm. About two years
ago he returned to the city and en-
gagged in business as baker and
confectioner. By strict attention to
business, untiring industry and hon
orable dealing, he won patronage
and the confidence and respect Of all
with whom he dealt.
In 1890 he was married to Miss
Alice Jones, daughter of the late
Paul Jones. Two daughters We're
born to them, who survive to cheer |
the bereaved young mother and to
cherish the memory of kind and |
honored father.
The funeral was held Sunday af- |
ternoon, with services at the house, |
by Rev. Il. Kent, and GER
emonies of the Order of Modern |
at the cemetery. Over 100
Woodmen marched as escort to the |
remains of their honored Nelghbor |
on his march to the silent camping
ground.

deceased, and wife. of Boscobel, Mr..

Manner of N. Pitts Death.

The sad death Of young Nicholas
Pittz, which was briefly announced
in the TRIBUNE last week, occurred
through the accidental discharge Of
"a gun in the hands Of Peter Paulskill.
These young men with two others
were hunting together. A rabbit had
been shot and partially disabled, and
ran into brush heap. One Of the
young men was probing the heap, to
drive the game out. Pittz and Paulz-
Kill standing near together with guns
ready to shoot. While ia this posi-
tion the gun in Paulzkill's hands was
in some accidental manner discharg-
ed, the load striking Pittz in the
head and killing him instantly.
Diseased was a worthy young man
and the youngest son of an aged
mother, who is naturally prostrated
with grief. Young Paulzkill was so
terrified by the accident that for a
time he was unable TO talk concern
ing il. 1t is thought that the trigger
of his gun. which was cooked. caught
on button Of his coat, and caused
the accident.

Old Man Cremated

An old man named Franz was lit
terally cremated in his home seven
miles southwest of this city last Fri
day. The old man with his wife oc-
cupied a house on farm operated
BY son. the son and family residing
in another house few rods distant.
On the day named the son and the
wife of the aged Franz were absent
from home, attending the funeral OF
young Pittz, leaving the old man in
the house alone. The wife of the
son was at her home and discovered
the house of the old people to be on
fire. She ran there, and got the old
man outside, uninjured. Then she
went to call help, and on returning a
few moments later could not find the
old man, and the house was mass of
flames that cauld not be entered.
The house was entirely consumed
and search revealed few crumbling
bones of the old man among the
ruins. 1t is supposed that after his
daughter-in-law had got him out, he
returned to the burning house for
some purpose, and was unable to
again get out, being 50 years old,
quite feeble, and at best could walk
with difficulty by the aid of a stick.
Nothing remained Of him but lit
tie of the larger bones, and they
crumbled to ashes at a touch.
