SENSATIONAL STORY.
About Conditions In Grow Wing and
. Other Counties. .

Other Counties.
A recent issue of the st. Paul Daily
News contained the following article,
which is somewhat like remarks made
by missionary at St. Paul.:not long ago.
1t is to be hoped the article is exceed
ingly exaggerated:
''In hay stack on q farm q few
miles west Of Braiherd. Crow Wing
couty, rests the frozen body of a two.
year-old child, and there it will re-
main until the father finds time to
give 1t burial In and near the little
settlement of Sullivan Lake, Crow
Wing county, are living several COUP
les for whom no marriage ceremony
ever was performed, yet these men
and women call themselves husband
and wife. and are rearing children.
"In hundred or more graves in
various portions of the northern
counties repose the bones of men,
women and children over whose re-
mains no prayers were said before
they were consigned to their last
resting place. Near the little town
of Backus, forty miles from Brainerd,
lives woman who married ten days
after the death of her FIRST husband,
whose body she buried, without re-
ligious ceremony, at her kitchen door.
"These are few of the things that
have impelled the Minnesota Sunday
School association to put a force of
missionary workers into the field cov-
cred by Crow Wing, Cass, Aitkin,
Hubbard, Morrison. and Mile Laos
counties, In an endeavor to bring
about a better condition of affairs. -
"a partial report of these condi-
tions was made at recent meeting of
this association in St. Paul. Investi-
CATION on the ground by The Daily
News establishes the truth of the
story. Three weeks ago two.year.
old daughter of family living
near Gull Lake expired. The father
had crew Of men at work making
roads for logging company and told
his neighbors when they asked when
the funeral was to be held, that he
could not epare the time then. "The
body frozen, has been.placed in q hay
stack. out Of harms way,' he said.
1T will keep nicely until warmer
sweathsr- eomss5 and. then, .pssh Nh assII
will have time to bury it,'''z The
mother Of the child and the neighbors
accept the situation as a matter of
course. and no complaint has baen
made to the authorities.
I'm the Sullivan Lake settlement
are several men and women who have
taken each other for better or for
worse without going before a priest,
clergyman or magistrate, and are now
the parents Of children. They are not
looked down on or ostracized as they
would be in most communities. In
one case the father of q young woman
gave her to the man she now calls hus-
band. He made pretense Of perfor-
ming q ceremony over the young
couple, but as he is not entitled to per-
form the marriage ceremony 1t count
ed for naught. Almost every town.
ship In the counties mentioned is dot
ted with graves over which no tears
are shed. In these graves lie the
bodies Of persons who. were buried
without religious ceremony of any
kind

Yes" said Deacon Stuckup, "the
works of Providence are manifold.
The omnipotence of the Almighty is
seen in all things, great and small,
high and low. The good Lord who
made the great mountains made the
smallest insect that crawls over them !:
the good Lord who made the mighty

THE EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.
Completely Strips Bark From Tree
No Trace of Fire.

That much valuable knowledge as
to the effects of lightning may be
gained by study cf trees that have
been struck by it is maintained by
many English scientists. A tree
which stood for many years on the
side of n road few miles from Wal
lingford, in England. was struck by
lightning during violent storm a
short time ago and utterly destroyed.
Mr.. Percy L. Spielmann examined it a
few hours afterward and found that
the bark had been completely strip
ped off and flung to one side, and
that large branch had also been
torn away and splintered. He looked
for some token of fire but was unable
to find any. He noticed, however.
that the inner surface of the bark
was marked longitudinally with thin
wavy lines. very close set, of which
the crests were about u quarter of an
inch apart. He took several photo
graphs of the ruined tree and he re-
CARDS them as most useful. since they
show clearly the rending effect Of
lightning on n fibrous tissue.

disordered kidneys and backache from

Of annoyance, trouble and pain. The
kidney secretions had bothered me for
a long while, were very irregular, dark
colored and full of sediment. The
Pills cleared it all up and l have not

Billiard Players.

The game of billiards has grown in
popularity of late with the fair sex
According to Shakespeare. Cleopatra
played billiards with her favorite,
Charmion, in the year 80 B. C. At
present the best women players are
the French, who frequent professional
games and eagerly follow the billiard
news of the day. Patti is fond of the
game and had a table made in this
country to take to her Welsh castle,
for which she paid S2,500. Among
American billiard players of repute
are Mrs. George Gould, Mrs. Edwin
Gould, Mrs. Almeric Paget, Mrs.
Burke-Roche and Lillian Russell. Bill
lizards are said to afford excellent ex.
