A Short Talk on the The Rev. F. L.
Origin Of Languages. Palmer of Still
water delivered short address on
comparative philology before the
prison Chautauqua circle at it's
meeting Sunday afternoon. Elab-
crate as the subject is, requiring
as it does for it's thorough compre-
hension an intimate knowledge of
many branches of learning, still
Mr.. Palmer's lecture was couched
in such simple language and illus
trated SO completely by the use of
blackboards that child could fol-
low and grasp it. He selected a
number of familiar words and
traced them from their Sanskrit
roots through their various changes
to the English, and also gave a
general idea of the manner in
which languages are developed,
pointing out the relationship of
one tongue to another and of each
family group to Its common an
cestor.
Mr.. Palmer also said a few
words on the origin Of speech, ex-
planning as fully as his limited
time permitted the several theo-
ries on the subject and giving the
opinions of modern students con-
corning them.
Owing to the fact that the time
allotted to the Chautauqua meet
ing expired before Mr.. Palmer was
through speaking, his address was
not concluded. He said enough,
however, to bring out the prin-
cipal points Of his discourse and
to interest several members of the
circle in the study to the point of
following it up themselves.
Before adjourning the members
of the circle rendered Mr.. Palmer
a vote of thanks for his kindness
in devoting his time and knowl-
edge to their benefit. It was the
most instructive meeting the Chau-
tauquans have held for many a
day, and they are unanimous in
expressing their appreciation.
/ There were but three numbers
on the regular program. The first
was a class report entitled 'sThe
Apotheosis of Wealth." This was
sincere plea for the cultivation
of an appreciation of the simpler
pleasures of life, and an arraign-
ment of the desire for wealth
where the possession of it fails to
bring sense of responsibility to
the possessor. A solo and chorus
by the Glee club came next, fol-
lowed by paper on Evolution
by a member of class d. This
report was of q fine, hopeful tone,
and met with the appreciation Of
the circle.
The members whose turn it was
to report at the last meeting, but
who did not do SO, are to report
at the next meeting, two weeks
hence.

-ost for Nearly Three Months in the Woods.

A. q. st. George Kemp has passed
through an experience that few men
could endure and live.
1t is thirteen weeks since he started
from Montesano to visit his claim in PIG,
and since that time nothing has been
heard OF his whereabouts until last Mon
day morning, when James Clemens, who
was cruising timber within two miles of
Montesano, noticed smoke ascending
from camp fire. Nearing the fire he
saw man lying outside a small shack
near a small fire. Approaching nearer
he recognized Kemp who was in a dazed
and starved condition, his hair and beard
long and white, showing the results OF
his terrible experience.
Assistance was at once procured and
Mr.. Kemp was placed in the st. Joseph's
hospital in this city the same evening,
where he shows every sign of rapid
recovery.
When Mr.. Kemp started for his claim
he was well preserved man of middle
age, civil engineer by profession, hav-
ing received his education in an English
college, and how he came to lose himself
in the woods is mystery to his friends
as he was accustomed to travelling in the
forests, an expert surveyor and of more
than ordinary intelligence and ability in
woods craft. His friends are waiting
anxiously until he is sufficiently recov.
cred to explain, so far as he can, how he
came to lose himself.

linger illness of several weeks. For some
time MIR. Weatherwax had been com.

that he could shake his illness off, and
endeavored to attend to his office. bust
ness but finally had to place himself
under physicians care. On Sunday,
DR.. J. W. Scamell was called in and
succeeded in giving relief but further
than that found he was called too late.
On diagnosing the case it was found that
both lungs were badly affected and were
rapidly filling up. By Tuesday breath
ing was matter of the greatest difficulty
and it was only matter of time before
he would breathe his last.
No man in Aberdeen exercised
greater general influence on the COM
munity than Mr.. Weatherwax, being
prominent in social, fraternal and bust
ness circles. A Mason of long standing,

knight Templars in this state, is now
the Grand High Priest of this Jurisdiction,

call attention to the fact there were not
SO many "sparklers' as ten years ago,
when the city had population Of about
10000 as compared with 100000 In 1902.
However, 1t is I'll clear now. A prom

likes to believe the best about his fellow
creatures, says he can account for this
state Of things.

.BEN'S BOLD DEF"
B. HELEN, Former Liveryman Here,
Defies Hold-up Artists.
RECENT EXPERIENCE THE CAUSE
He Announces In Chicago Papers
That He Will Meet All
Corners.

Ben HELEN, who for years ran
livery stable at Nicollet avenue, above
Twenty ninth street, one of,the most pic
turesque figures about Minneapolis dec
ade ago, has recently achieved considera-.
cradle notoriety in Chicago by extending
through the papers freefor- all chailenge
to all corners Of the footpad fraternity to-
hold him up.
AS a special inducement, for the next
thirty days he will carry with him $1,000
in currency, two revolvers a bowie knife,
a loaded cane, a gold watch, diamond
shirt stud and diamond ring.
An experience with footpads in Chicago
to defy he whole outfit He returned to
Minneapolis for year in 1900 and met SO
few desperate characters while here that
he was quite unprepared for his recent
encounter. He has lived for years at
1896 Aldine avenue. Chicago.
That there may be no trouble about To-
eating him he has given highwaymen a
"tip' as to his identity in the papers. He
informs them that he leaves his Office in
Dearborn street every evening at 5 o'clock
and alights from Evanston car at Al-
dine avenue at o'clock. Then he walks
to his desidence along an inky dark street,
lined with vacant lots and clumps OF
shrubbery to afford hiding places for hold
up artists.
He was walking along this street last
Tuesday evening when two men,, with
drawn revolyers, ordered him to throw up
his hands. Instead of doing SO, he side
stepped into the street and jumped on the
front end Of a passing coal wagon. The
driver thought it was another case of
hold-up and promptly kicked Mr.. HELEN
in the face.
''Kick him off the wagon" yelled the
robbers. The driver tumbled to the true
situation then and both men set up an
out-cry which frightened the brigands
away.
Ben HELEN is six feet, two inches high
and weighs 225 pounds. He is q good
shot and his exploits in the manly art OF
self-defense are well remembered by for
mer intimates in this town. He believes
ha will get the decision in the next fight.
