President James J. Hill Showed Rail-

One Of the most versatile men in the
country is James j. Hill, president Of
the Great Northern railroad. He has
a comprehensive grasp of the details
Of railroading that few men possess.
Since he began to pay close attention
to the financial side of railroading pub
lie attention has been somewhat di-
verted from the other phase Of his
management. An incident that oc-
Cured recently, however, shows that
Mr.. Hill is as practical as ever. While

Then, cross from loss of sleep, the

was too fond of the policeman's little
daughter. According to the patrol
mans story, the pup was taken in
hands by the child when the dog was
but a few days old, and the two were
playmates for several years. As the
dog grew older its attachment for the
child became noted in the neighbor-
hood, while its general yiciousness to-
ward everybody else was equally as
well known. The little girl would beat
the dog, drag it about by the tail, stick
things in its ears and, otherwise abuse
it in all sorts of ways without a single
growl of protest on the part of her
canine playmate, but If anyone else
took any liberties with il it was ready
to spring at him in an instant.
Finally the dog became so Jealous Of
the child that it would allow no other
children to play with her, and when
the couple returned from a stroll It
was with difficulty that Mrs. Kidd
could separate them. This state Of af-
fairs was maintained until the father
came TO the conclusion that the dog
was a menace to the other children in
fhe neighboThood, and was obliged to
Ihoot the too faithful beast.

In MemOriam.

Our entire community was greatly
shocked when the sad news was
spread of the death of Eta G. Beck
man, wife of Richard w. Beckman,
who died at her home near Beckman
Tuesday, August 90.
The deceased was 2S years, II
months and 90 days old. She was a
consistent member of the Lutheran
church for nine years and performed
her part well. She was kindly lady,
always ready to lend helping hand.
Those who knew her are deeply
grieved at her death which saddened
so many people, for in the death of a
good woman communities suffer as
do the immediate families concerned.
She leaves a sorrowing husband
and two small children and many rel
atives and friends to mourn their
loss.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
Methodist graveyard near Beckman,
where a large concourse of people
followed her to her last resting place.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Howard, of Bloomington.
Yes, she is dead! No sleep so beau
tiful and calm; so free from trace of
pain; so fair to look upon. She
seemed creature fresh from the
hand of God and waiting for the
breath of life-not one who had lived
and suffered death. Well may we ex-
claim with the poet
Il know thou art gone to the land of thy rest,
Then why should my soul be so sad:
know thou art gone where the weary blest
And the mourner looks up and is glad.
Where love has put off in the land of its birth
The stain it had gathered in this,
And hope the dear one that gladened the
earth
Lies asleep in the bosom of bliss.

WOAAS VA 4 AoAoSs
IT. jay" the versatile Oakland
correspondent of the Cumberland
NeaoS, has the following to say of two
gentlemen well known in Garrett
county and indeed in all sections of
the country for the work they are do
ing and have done in the past:
"Some twelve or more years ago
Louis A. Rudisill organized the To-
peka chautauqua at Topeka, Kansas
Among the lecturers secured by Mr..
Rudisill was DR.. W. L. Davidson, and
these two men, who are now doing so
much for Mountain Lake Park, met
in this way at Topeka, Kansas, about
twelve years ago, Rudisill as superin-
tendent of the chautauqua and Da-
wilson as lecturer. Some ten years
ago Rev. w. N. Frysinger, of Penn
sylvania, organized in a very modest
way the Mountain Chautauqua. Its
growth was very slow in the begin
ming, and when a superintendent was
needed the services of DIR. w. l.. Da-
wilson were secured OF him and his
work l have spoken in this column
and l need not repeat here. AS the
years passed Mountain Lake Park as
ISOLATION prospered and needed
manager. Mr.. Rudisill was recon-
mended by Bishops Vincent and
Ninde and Rev. DR.. G. P. Masden.
Mr.. Rudisill was on his way to Ep-
worth Heights, Ohio, to preach at
the camp meeting service at that
place and stopped at the Park to
look over the situation, and before
he left his services were engaged. In
this way these two notable chautau-
qua workers were thrown together
and have been working harmonious
ly together ever since. Mr.. Rudisill
is member of the Central Pennsyl-
vania conference and at the last an
nual session of that body was taken
from the supernumerary list and
made effective and was then appoint
ed by the bishop as manager of Noun
tain Lake Park. He is the only
preacher who has been similarly ap-
pointed and be was the recipient of
numerous congratulations in conse-
quence. Mr.. Rudisill is a hustler,
and as manager of the Park has been
very successful He has seen the
Park under his management increase
from seventy cottages to a pretty mu
nicipality containing two hundred
and fifty cottages. The bennett and
Mountain Lake Park, two of the
largest hotels here, have been built
under his administration.
IA new auditorium seating six
thousand people was planned and
built under the immediate direction
of Mr.. Rudisill 1t is said by some
lecturers that the acoustics of this
auditorium are better than those of
any large auditorium in this country.
Mr.. Rudisill has had tempting offers
from Chautauqua Beach and a large
real estate firm in Washington, d. c.,
and also from other places, but he is
in love with his work here and has no
thought of leaving the Park. The
past in many respects has been the
greatest season in the history of the
Park, but Mr.. Rudisill and DIR. Dayid-
son are already planning greater
things for next year. Nearly all the
summer visitors have departed and
the park is settling down for the win
ter. Those who expect to remain
here all the winter are filling their
coal houses and laying in other sup
plies to make themselves comfortable
during the long period which must
elapse before campmeeting songs are
again heard all over this lovely park.

He Owes His Life to the Foreughthot of a
COMPANION,

While on camping trip in Webster
county, Mr.. S. |. Stump, of Norman
town, w. Va, had a severe attack of
bloody tiux. He says, II firmly be-
l1eve L owe my life to the forethought
OF one of the company who had taken
along bottle of Chamberlain's Collie
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy"
Moral.-Procure a bottle of this rem
edy before leaving home. 1t cannot
be obtained when on a hunting, fish
ing or prospecting trip. Neither can
it be obtained while on board the
cars or steamship, and at such times
and places it is most likely to be
needed. The safe way is to have it
with you. Thousands of travellers
never leave home on journey with
out it. For sale by all druggists.
