LIES AND ISLANDERS

Usually react upon their authors.
A certain insurance agent of Willmar
and member of the insurance trust
has been circulating the statement
that the Minneapolis Fire and Marine
Mutual Insurance Co., which is repre-
sented by F. P. Olney had policy on
the building known as the Bonde
building which was recently damaged
by fire and refused to pay. Also that
the company is not good and does not
promptly pay it's losses. The facts
are that neither the company nor MI.
Olney had policy on that building
nor the contents and it was a "board"
company that did the kicking if ahy
WAS done, but then these people must
say something to induce people to pay
two prices for their insurance, and 8
man who will enter into a combination
to do up his neighbors and friends
must not be expected to tell the truth
where a lie will make him a dollar.

Safe from earth's darkling shadows:
Safe from it's smiles and tears,
Ger the sun-gilded waters
She passed in her sinless years
Her tender feet grew weary
OF earth with it's sodden leaves
SO she glided in lifes morning
TO the crown the angel weaves.
All! lonely sorrowing father.
With grief thourt stricken low:
There's a void in thy heart forever,
thorn in thy path of woe.
Day by day you'll miss her footsteps
And see but the empty chair:
You will yearn for the happy daughter
And kiss but u lock of hair.
And the song and sound of music;
How memory enshrines them all;
Theyve become but the living echoes
Of the loved one past recall
-FROM HER FRIENDS.
The young lady whose demise is
chronicled above came to Twin Bridges
from her home in Willmar, MINI. :,
last May, with the hope that our eli
mate would prove beneficial, as she
was not enjoying good health. She
was a bright, lovable young lady, just
budding into noble woma manhood, and
though her sojourn in our midst was
brief, it was of sufficient duration to
win the affection of all who were so
fortunate as to form her acquaintance,
all Of whom extend their deepest SYM
pathy to the relatives and friends of
the beautiful girl, who has bowed to
the will of the Creator and inevitably
responded to the call from the Great
Beyond, in their hour of intense sor-
row.
The deceased young lady's brother,
Roy, arrived on Saturdays train, in
time to see his beloved sister during
her last moments on earth.
The corpse was conveyed to Will

for boys, and when really excellent
book for older girls appears 1t seems
worthy of especial notice. We accord
ingly commend Decks Fortune" by
Adele E. Thompson, a well known writer
of short stories. although this is her first
book. Beck, the heroine, is an orphan
girl, bright but impulsIve, self-willed, and
embittered by her hard life. who is de-
pendent upon the meager bounty Of a
miserly grandfather living on a lonely
farm At the old mans death she in,
herits his secret hoard, which seems to
her a vast fortune, and after ludicrous
and Notifying attempts at being fine
lady is placed on the road to noble, Gull
tured womanhood by the family of Judge
Stannard, whose son the imperious heir
ess chooses as her guardian. 1t is not a
love story, although Beck at last finds
her best fortune in the honest affection
of her guardian, whose manhood has
been strengthened by the nobili OF
character in the girl of whose affairs
1t falls to his lot to have charge. It is
rather a story Of the development If a.
girls possibilities through life at a typi-
cal seminary to which Beck is sent. This
school life is portrayed with rare skill
the conversations are all piquant and
natural, and the different girls have their
counterparts everywhere. A sparkling
humor pervades the book to relieve its
more serious side, and the sterling good
sense taught throughout will be grateful
ly appreciated by all mothers looking for
the best reading for their daughters. The
book is very attractive in appearance

physical attractions, she had hand
some fortune of her own It was there
fore natural that everybody should expect
her to make a very brilliant match. Her
sisters had done WELL and she was ex-
pected to do something phenomenal in
the matrimonial line.
Then Mr. Duncan Elliot appeared on
the scene. He was as fine man to look
upon as she was woman. They were
Of exactly opposite types. While she was
small. 1.-THE and dark, he was tall. heavy
and blonde.
Duncan Elliot is the son of a late emf
nent Philadelphia physician. Although
of excellent family and social position,
he had no money. In spite Of this defect
he entered with ease and celebrity into
the most fashionable New York society.
He had some pleasant sort Of business
position. which enabled him to pass most
of his time in the windows of the Knick-
erbocker club and the rest in the coun-
try.
Duncan Elliot stands six feet high, Is
broad-shouldered and quite handsome.
At one time he weighed over 200 pour DIS.
but now campaigning has made him
thinner and harder. He Is particularly
noted for the development of the biceps
of his arms picture Of which once
appeared on certain brand of soup
tins. He Is Columbia man.
1t was in the society that centers about
the Westminster Country club that Dun
can Elliot's courtshipfawas carried on.
Miss Hargous' relatiyesswere to some ex-
tent opposed to him BECAUSE he was poor.
but love won theaday for him.
The Westchester set was very bril-
liant then. The .Waterburys gave their
famous circus, In which society men
and women figured as trick riders,
clowns and so forth Duncan Elliot and
Sallie Hargous went among the perform
ers. Johnny Fhrmar gave a party at
his cottage, at which Robbie Hargous
danced his famous pas seul. He repeat
ed this later atVthe Westchester Coun-
try club, with merely pink lamp shade
for a skirt. People thought he rather
Overdid 1t that time.
Sallie Hargous and Duncan Elliot were
married at NEWPORT at the close Of the
season of 1891. Then men said ne WIS q
lucky dog, and the women said that she
had got the handsome st man of the dag
for husband. In short, they were the
object of almost universal admiration.
They went to live In q charming cot
| tage in the grounds of the Westminster
| Country club. Here they continu tc
| be conspicuous In the local set. A shad-
ow fell over that set when the Cordage
Trust smashed and the Waterburys and
many Of their friends lost all their
money. At this time many OF tie gilded
youth reformed and went to work. One
OF them even became a plumber. Dun
