At Rest.

Thursday night occurred the death
ofFrank Conrad who has been at
tendingSt. Boniface School. The de-
ceased was only i'll few days with
appendicitis and passed to rest and
is now free from the care and strife
of life and has gone to the world be-
You'd with it's JOY and sunshine and
happiness. The departed was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Conrad
and whose home is southwest
of Audubon. The boy was twelve
years old, bright intelligent aud
the future was bright with promise
before him. He was just develop
ing from the dreams of boyhood IN
to the realities of manhood and the
dawn of usefulness to himself and
the world were slowly unfolding
before him and before he reached the
stage of action in the busy activities
of the social and commercial world
he was called to cross the mystic
river of death to the distant shores
OF eternity where he will await his
dear beloved ones who are left to
mourn for one they loved most
dearly and hope to meet in the
world beyond. The funeral was
held at ST. Boniface church, Satur-
day morning conducted by Rev.
Father Failenschtnid. After which
the entire school and many friends
accompanied the remains to the de-
pot. The remains were taken to
Atlantic where the lifeless form Of
clay was laid to rest in the family
burying lot.

Quite number OF people from
the south part of the county are on
the program to take part in the
Farmers Institute to be held at
Audubon FEBRUARY, II, ID, IA. Such
meetings are prolific of profitable
ideas and suggestions that are in
valuable to the progressive farmer.
Every one should avail themselves
of the opportunity to be present
and take part in the discussions.
The butter contest by the butter
makers of the creameries of the
county promises to be of more than
ordinary interest. See the program

DANGER IN THE BOOK
WHY ONE MAN DREADED THE CON-
ING INTO CAMP OF A DICTIONARY.

He Discreetly Left Before the Vocif-
erously Applauded Sentiments He
Expressed In His Speech Could Be
Analysed In Webster.
When the son of the president of the
Big Mountain Lumber company came
into the mountains to learn the bust
minutes that he had come to the
wrong place. He was city chap, new
ly graduated and thoroughly out of
touch with everything mountainous.
He was bright fellow, however, and
amply capable, only the mountains
were not the field for his development.
AS time elapsed his distaste grew, and
his opinion of the mountain people,
their manners, customs, homes, morals
and everything connected with them.
He was wise enough to confide in me
alone and bided his time to get away
to some more congenial cline. And
he got away sooner than he expected.
1t happened that there was a public
meeting one night at the sawmill shed,
and he was called ON to make few
remarks. Every other man at the
meeting except myself, who acted as
chairman, was Of the mountains, and
their illiterate talk had reused the
young college fellow to the limit He
saw chance to get even, in his own
mind at least, and when the call came
for him he responded promptly. His
speech, quite brief, but to the point,
was as follows, copied from his own
manuscript, even the [applause] part:
"My friends, l am glad to meet you
on this occasion, for l have wished to
say to you publicly what 1 think Of
you, though our acquaintance has not
been long. Coming as a stranger
among you, l was only partly prepared
for what was in store. Now, let me
say to you that half has not been told
me. [Applause.l In the internecine
arena your lethiferous conduct has
artounded me by the trucidation and
decision characterizing it among no
men l have ever known. Loud ap-
plause.l In the diversified field Of
mendacity your efforts would make
Machiavelli take to the tall timber.
[uproarious applause.] In all fura-
cious, raptorial and predacious pur-
suits you have done such wonders
that the gifted and great Jonathan
Wild would have felt his latrociny
was sounding brass and his direption
tinkling cymbal. [Great applause. ]
In the broad eXpanse of labor your
torpescent oscillation has made you
sui generis among all pandiculate man
kind. [Cheers and shouts of "Good for
us!'] AS good livers, your tables
groan beneath their stercoraceous and
impetiginous burden. and as drinkers,
your temulent bibacity has made the
crapulous reputation Of Bacchus to be
sign Of puritanical abstemiousness.
Loud applause.l AS for yourselves,
take pleasure in saying here to you,
without fear of successful contradic-
ton. that your nugacity is forever
established; as observers Of the law,
your aberrance is Pathological, and
personally you are Il cohesive concat-
enation of rubigant eXuvin, that I
take especial pleasure in believing does
not exist elsewhere on earth [Vocif-
erous applause. ]"
When the enthusiasm had cooled
down somewhat, he proceeded to speak
on the subjects before the meeting and

A crowd of Mr.. and Mrs. Grant
Browns friends came in one night
last week and gave them pleasant
surprise party. The evening was
congenially passed every one find
ing such amusement as best suited
them. 1t was at late hour that the
merry makers left for home. AS a
token of their friendship and ap-
probation they left fine large
rocker that will ever remind the
recipiants of their friends and a
pleasant evening.

Wonder if the superintendent of
our Sunday schools generally have
looked into the merits of the home
Department of Sunday school work.
The State Sabbath School Associa-
ton is having so much to say about
it's merits that it seems at least
worthy of investigation. We learn
that in Scott county, this state there
are thirty-threeS Sunday schools that
have adopted the plan, and that
throughout the state there are
nearly 5000 Home Department
members. AS we understand the
State Home Department secretary,
Rev. c. J. kephart of Des Moines,
will gladly furnish all needed infor-
nation in relation to organizing
and conducting the work.

| Operations are in progress today
near Boston which will ultimately give
| to that city the proud distinction of
possessing the greatest reservoir Of
| pure drinking water in the world"
writes ii. H. Lewis in Ainslee's Maya
zine for January. Moreover, when
present plans have been realized Bos-
ton can safely claim that she has ac-
complished more, has looked farther in
to the future and has had stronger re-
gard for the health and welfare of her
citizens than any other city either in
this country or abroad. These are
strong words, but they are amply borne
out by facts.
Few people, even those in and about
| Boston, realize the enormous extent Of
| the new waterworkS system inaugural
ed in 1895 and now well on toward
completion. They know that law was
passed five years ago placing the ex-
mission called the metropolitan water
board and that something is being done
to bring water from the vicinity Of
| Clinton, Mass, but the true condition
Of affairs is practically unknown. 1t
will surprise even those who should be
personally interested to learn that with
in half decade the greatest reservoir
ever built will be in operation within
80 miles of Boston.
at will be even greater surprise for
them to learn that when the system
now under construction is finished not
only Boston. but also the cities of Chel-
sea, Everett. Maiden, Medford. Newton
and Somerville and the towns of Bel
mont, Hyde Park, Melrose Revere,
| Watertown and Winthrop, constituting
what is known as the metropolitan wa
ter district, will be kept amply supplied
with water, notwithstanding the natu-
raj increase in population, until 1850.
1t is this half century step into the fu-
ture that will give Boston the we'll
earned reputation of providing for her
and their deserts.
| ne magnitude OF the new water
works system is impressive. 1t will in
clude, as stated before, the largest res
ervoir for potable water in the world,
a great aqueduct and system of dis
| tribution constructed on modern prin-
ciples. To prove the gigantic nature Of
| the reservoir it is only necessary to
state that it's capacity will reach the
| enormous extent Of 63O6S, 100000 gal
Ions, or almost twice as much as the
new Croton reservoir bear New York
city. The building or this reservoir
means the flooding of valley 80 miles
from Boston, the complete or partial
submersion of two thriving towns and
the changing of well known rail-
ways right of way through the valley.
The increased supply of water to be de-
rived by the metropolitan district will
be better understood when it is known
that this new Wachusett reservoir will
have more than four times the capacity
Of all the existing Boston waterworks
reservoirs combined"

THE HAPPY TIME.
The man who cannot rest today.
But says he will tomorrow,

The man who cannot rest today.
But says he will tomorrow,
Finds, when his work is cleared away
New tasks or sits in sorrow.
The merry time, the happy time,
The blissful day in view
Is never gained by them that wait
To triumph and to celebrate,
With nothing more to do.
The man who folds his hands TO-DAY
And contemplates with sorrow
The pressing task that's put away
Unfinished until tomorrow
Has neither rest OF heart nor mind,
For he that looks ahead
To duties long delayed destroys
The sweetest OF sweet lcisure's joys,
But borrows doubt and dread.
Tie man who mixes work and play
At present and tomorrow
Keeps life's poor little ills away
And finds new cares to borrow.
The merry time. the happy time,
The blissful day in view
Is every day for him whose hand
Is turned each day to fair deeds and
Who plays in reason too.

MARVELLOUS MECHANISM.
AutOmatOns That Have Excited the Won
der of Many.

Some years ago a 1eweler of Bou-
logne, France, constructed a wonder
ful automatic conjurer. This figure,
correctly dressed in black, performed
various sleight of hand tricks with re-
markable dexterity. and when it was
a~pplauded gracefully saluted the spec
tators to the right and left. One of it's
tricks was the following: 1t struck a
table several times, and made an &
come out of it. 1t then blew upon the
latter, when out of it came a bird that
Mapped its wings and sang, and after
r entered the egg again. This,
however, was nothing as compared
with the automatic fly manufactured
by John Miller, and which few around
the table during a dinner and alighted
upon the hand of its owner and man
ufacturer, to the great establishment
Of the guests. Another wonderful piece
of mechanism was a minute coach, to
which were harnessed several horses,
and which rolled over the table. Upon
starting the coachman cracked his
whip and the horses began to prance,
~A0 SANA OSCtAA 4uACt Ia SNd1 z O1L
on a trot. The coach stopped and the
lackey jumped from the seat, and,
opening the door, handed out a hand
somely dressed lady, who saluted and
then re-entered the coach. The lackey
closed the door and jumped up the
box, the whip snapped and the horses
galloped off. The famous mechanical
flute player was a lifelong figure,
standing by the side of a broken col
umn, upon which it slightly leaned.
1t was capable of playing a dozen diff
ferent airs with remarkable ease. To
effect this result, there was a system
of weights which actuated a bellows
placed in the interior of the automaton
and through an invisible tube forced
air to the flute, where it acted in the
usual way upon the stopple Of the
opening. In order to obtain the modu-
lations and consequently a complete
air, the fingers Of the automaton were
movable and closed the holes of the
flute Theoretically when at rest. The
fingers were moved by wires and cords
that were tautened and relaxed by the
play of a toothed cylinder.
