fore Judge Jones in 1893, and the

and that no report of the loss was ever
made. Judge Jones gave a judgment
for the personal loss but found for
the company on the church building.
Mr.. Hannett secured a new trial for
the church people and in 1900 it was

The company carried the case to

John Goldman met his death dur

at bis home six miles west and two
miles south Of this city, in Beulah

in this city that it was thought
some damage must have been done.
Mr.. Goldman went out to do his
chores while the storm was in pro-
gress. He remained absent so long
from the house that his wife finally
became worried about him and went
out to see il she could find her hus-
band. She went to the barn and
then went to the feed yard. where
she found him lying on the ground.

"Gdrden" Book

NO SUCH dainty, fascna ting, fra
mi grant, inspiring story of a garden
Y has come from the press before as
is Judith's Garden, by Mary +.
Stone BasSctt (Mrs. l.. A. Bassett, Of
Carbondale.) No. not even the famous
Elizabeth and her German Garden. for
this is the story of woman, whom to
meet in the pages of this book is to
love. who by the gardens coming into
the vista of her immediate future is given
the Gift of returning courage TO live, and
who in the digging and planting and
care of everything in this domain of hers
not only wins back to health and exult-
ant happiness herself. She does more.
She carries every reader with her into
charmed atmosphere, pure. serene,
Astounding in joy and the love of natures
lovelicst things in and under the open
sky.
Judith is rare, bright original char
acter. Quite as delightful in his way is
Pat. her chief lieutenant may we call
him, who "comes to garden" There are
plenty of gardeners who know flowers.
There are some who love them. But
never, in life or in books, will you meet
another as original, .as tender-hearted as
unConsciously wise spirited. as he. His
story, as told by himself in the fourth
chapter, is one that touches the fount
of tears, vet ends, with spoken thought
of consolation for himself so whimsical
that it forces smile.
There are other people and glimpses OF
other stories outlined in Judith's tale Of
her garden. They are sketches only, but
the true artists sure touch Is shown in
all. Max. Rhoda, Electrical Brown, poor
Mrs, Allen the orchid lover, Priscilla and
Donald, and Judths unnamed dearest
friend who appears twice only in the
course of the story--every lover of human
nature will rejoice In making the ac-
quaintancc of them all.
We make ono brief excerpt, Judith's
initial planning, when the joyful an
nouncement that garden is to be within
her reach that summer is made to her
on her sick bed:
