Dislocated Her Shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and panied her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seer Chamberlain's Pain Balm adj
vertised for sprains and soreness, and
she asked-him to buy her a bottle OF
it, which he did. 1t quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which
she had not done for several days.
The son was SO much pleased with the
relief it gave his mother that he has
since recommended it to many 9th.

BERLIN is BLAMED.
For Failure of the Powers to Raise
Blockade.

New York, Jan. 16.-There are
signs of increasing Impotence in
England over the delay in raising the
blockade of Venezuela, according to
a dispatch to the Tribune from Lon
don. The moral drawn by the pro-
yincial press from the independent
attitude of Italy on condemning the
blocade and advocating Castro's cause
is that England might have taken the
same attitude if there had not been
a hard and fast alliance with Ger
many.
Meanwhile dispatches are eXchang-
ed between Berlin and London, and
it seems impracticable to obtain an
adjustment of the phrases OF a sim
pie protocol providing for the adj
Indication of the. claims. A settle.
ment would have been reached be-
tween Washington and London with
out delay if there had been no OBJ
legations to refer every detail to Ber-
lin, The Balfour government is not
likely to make another agreement
with Germany before the general
elections in the United Kingdom.

Portland, Ore, Jan. l6.-Henry
Meyer was shot through the heart
and killed early this morning in his
saloon at Twenty-fourth and Thur
man streets. Two men giving the
names of T. A. Edwards and e. H.
Price, were arrested near the saloon
on suspicion of being the murderers.
Meyer was alone in the saloon when
the shot was fired, but his wife, who
was in their apartments back of
the saloon, heard someone ask to be
let in after her husband had closed
up. She says her husband opened
the door and let someone in and short
ly thereafter she heard the shot.
Her husband was found lying be-
hind the bar and all the money in
the cash register was gone.

A 3 TO GET WOOL.
Mill at Big Timber Still Remains
Shut Down.

Big Timber, Jan. 16.-The wooden
mill, which has been shut down since
the day before Christmas on account
of being out of wool, has not as yet
resumed operations. The manager, ].
w. Whitfield, said today that he could
not say when they would be able to
start the mill.
II have been in different portions
of the state" said he, "and have cor
responded with different dealers, but
thus far have been unable to locate
any wool which can be purchased
at a reasonable price. In fact, l do
not know where enough wool could
be found at any figure to run us any
length of time. We did not anticipate
as good a run as we have had when
we put in our stock of wool last fall
or we would have put in a much lar
ger amount. We. have got several
hunderd blankets on hand and will
endeavor to take care OF our
customers at present"
Mr.. Whitfield left today on a trip
into the western and northern por-
lions of the state and will, if possible,
locate enough wool to run the mill at
least a few weeks. 1t is probable
that a much larger supply OF wool
will be put in this coming season,
and thus prevent a repetition of the
present conditions.

A BRIEF But
STIRRING C0URTSHlP
(Original.l

lOr1g1naIl
Elise Marcel was Louisiana creole.
Her father and mother were pious peo-
pie and insisted on Elise maintaining
the same rigorous notions that gov
erened them. She was not permitted
to dance, and she must keep all the
fast days and do penence for the
slightest infraction Of church rules.
Henry Soulard, the son Of neigh
boring planter, met Elise one evening
at party and was captivated by her
oval face, olive complexion, black eyes
and the long cable of hair reaching
nearly to her heels. He was a manly
young fellow, without anything mean
or selfish about him. He asked Elise
to dance, but she declined, explaining
that her parents forbade dancing and
If she did so and they heard of it she
would have to suffer. Henry looked
disappointed, but declared that he
would not bring trouble upon her for
a world. Whereupon Elise was seized
with desire to suffer for his pleasure
and insisted on dancing with him.
When he found it impossible to dis
suade her, he consented, and they
danced together often during the rest
Of the evening. When Elise went
home, she told her mother what she
had done. Instead of making her do
the usual penances Nine. Marcel
simply forbade her ever again to speak
q word with Henry Soulard.
The next time Henry saw Elise he
was on horseback and Elise was ahead
Of him driving her pony. A man was
riding beside her, talking to her, and it
was plain that Elise was offended, for
she answered never word. When
Henry drew near, he saw that the Of
fender was Jean Gaspau, q young
man who had lately inherited a planta-
ton, on which he lived a by no means
exemplary life. AS soon as Henry came
up Elise, with flashing eyes and burn
ing cheeks, told him she desired that
M. Gaspard would ride on and leave
her alone. Henry rode up to her tor
mentor and cut him with his riding
whip, then cutting Gaspard's horse, a
high melted beast, it shot on, carrying
the rider far away.
That afternoon friend of Gaspard's
waited on Henry bearing a challenge,
In that. day dueling was common in
the south, and Henry could not have
declined to fight without meeting con.
sequences as serious as fighting. The
next morning the two men met with
sharp pointed foils. Though Henry was
the better fencer he was so indignant
with his antagonist that he was under
cautious. He received flesh wound
in the side. This ended the combat.
The meeting soon became common
talk in the neighborhood, but as thu
people were not averse to dueling there
were no arrests. NJ. and Nine. Marco

been wounded, took her pony cart and
drove to her fathers plantation. She
found him lying on wicker couch on
the veranda. Though they had seen
each other but twice before, the episode
in which Henry had defended her and
afterward risked his life and was
wounded on her account was quite
enough to draw them to climax. Not
word was spoken before Henry had
clasped her and she had wound her
arms about his neck. When they sepa-
rated, they were betrothed.
1t was great shock to Mime. Marcel
when Elise drove home and told her
that she was engaged to the man with
whom she had danced and who had

"that should have n child to love one

tecting saints surely will leave us a
prey to the devil. Go to your room,
wicked child, and if you ever again
meet or speak to this would be muir
derer you must leave this house and
your poor father and me that you may
not jeopardize our immortal souls"
Elise's love and respect for her moth
er forbade her disobeying, and she
went to her room. where her meals
were sent to her for three days. Then
she was told to 90 to confession. She
promised her mother that she would
speak to no one but the priest. The
promise was sacredly kept, and when
she returned she went at once to her
room. For week she remained day
and night there, seeing no one, her
meals brought to her. Then one morn
ing she was called down into the great
hall which served as living room.
There stood Father De Bleek, the par
ish priest, and there sat her mother on
the old mahogany and haircloth sofa.
Embrace your daughter" said the
old man kindly.
"Are you sure, father, that there will
be no contamination?
"There is no sin to contamination.

would pertain to the young man. But
there is no sin in defense. Has not our

It is one of the sad, memorable
ironies of fate that man of your un-
questioned ability cannot raise hair
and the price of oil at one and the same
thine.
1t seems that nature, in her vast
and profound wisdom, has so arranged
1t that we may each become proficient
in but one line of endeavor. Some of
us become remarkably talented in the
cultivation and growth of long, i'm
pressive foretops, but we have little or
no voice in the current quotations on
kerosene, gasoline, hotel butter and
other Standard Oil products.
Others of us, through years of pa
tlent toll and continued research, sue
coed in cultivating appetites that are
at once the pride and wonder of the
community in which we live, but we
never succeed in having much to say
in regard to the price of benzine, axle
grease and other piesthffs which seem
SO indispensable to many of our cooks
Owing to the answering law of supply
and demand, some of us have made the
quotations on hand-smoked February
sausage take on a more buoyant and
hopeful aspect this winter, however.
But, while many of us have been doing
this, you have continued to control the
price of Pennsylvania sperm oil for
lubricating the skillet or the chest, so
we do not consider that we have gotten
ahead of you in the least. None of us
should become proud and boastful,
for where we exceed in one thing we
generally find ourselves among the
members of the minority committee
on something else. While some of us
are able to just naturally put it all
over you, John, when it comes to long,
scholarly locks, and while others of us
could, perhaps, outeat you with per-
feet ease, you just have US beaten all
hollow when it comes to pumping cod
liver oil and t-blackening from the
sunny dells of Indiana.
