THE HILLMAN HOSPITAL WHICH HAS BEEN IN SUCCESSFUL

boy cried Shrewsbury cakes" and thought of an English noble who took part in so many of the great movements a hundred years ago. Then there was long stop at Birmingham. You have no idea how I could close my eyes and be- leve that 1 was in Alabama again. There was some delay, so the guard said we might leave the compartment II we wished. Sight seeing has become so much an instinct that the words were like signal for our scattering Making for the town, we wandered around the streets till we found a booksellers stall where we could get postals of the place, and then up the street to see some of the places we had postals of. It was really ideal "bumming' for we reached the sta- ton in time to buy cocoa. and have one of the party to rush in to say that the train was going. In England trainmen do not say they are going; they do so and the passengers stay on till they are let out. This part of the trip was excit- ing from the fact it kept us wondering if we were all on board
 On and on, through a part of Wales we passed. There was grass and fields of yellow buttercups, beautiful white daisies. and the quiet that rural life af- fords-in contrast to the innumerabe furnaces and mountains of slag, some even grass covered from age, around Birmingham.
 Then some one said excitedly. "Strat- ford" We rose exctedly bumped out of our places quickly lest the little train run away, and landed in time to see woman drive away in q pony cart, who was Marie Correll we were told. She lives here. We were bundled into wag- onette and it was more like jolly tally Inc ride than anything else. The driver sat on his box in the middle with two girls on each side. For the excitement I asked to drive, so he sat very straight with his whip al the proper angle while l drove to the hotel at which we stay, "The Golden Lion" He would give di rections as Look out for the bicycle" Keep in the middle of the road" and that speech ever dear to a mans heart, Hold 'em up. l suppose 1 did, for we came to the hotel with a flourish, and none except those by me knew that the man did not drive. But l was seeing Stratford- on-Avon and why not know how their horses go as we'll as what the people do?
 We are also living strenuous lives just now, but l shall try to find time to tell you of this place and the quaint inn at which we are staying.

 AN AUSPICIOUS START

The Hilman hospital has now been open to the public for one month and the ladies in charge feel much encour- aged by the manner in which the work of the institution has started off. Since the opening five charity patients have been cared for each day and the only reason there Nare not more is the lack of funds. Two-thirds of the patients re- eeived have been paying one dollar day but it is the intention to have the wards all filled with charity patients just as soon as possible.
 Since the Fist of July there have not been less than twenty-three patients in the hospital at any one time and on some days there have been as many as thirty-four.
 On several different days there have been as many as three regular oper- ations performed in addition to the rou- tine number of accident cases.
 Much encouragement has been given the ladies by the cheerful manner in which donations have been made for which they wish to make acknowledge ment to the donors publicly.

 Ben M. Jacobs & Bros, refrigerator.
 Mrs. Ed. Cover, (Stowers Furniture company, two ice boxes and two wicker chairs.

MAIL SERVICE NORTH OF Be.
MIDI UNSATISFACTORY
Takes TWenty-four Hours to Get
a Letter from North0me to
Blackjack.

Residents of the towns north
of Bemidji on the line OF the M
4 I. and more especially the bus
mess people are going to try the
virtue of a kick TO the. postal
authorities in securing a better
mail service than they have at
present. They assert that the
mail service the government has
provided them has long been an
abDmjnation and that it is high
time the authorities of the postal
department should do something
to have it remedied.
Mail from Bemidjl to all points
north is handled by pouch at
present. There is no clerk ser
vice on the passenger trains
running north of this city and
this works a big delay to local
mails. For instance a letter that
is addressed from Nortllome to
Blackjack must come to Bemidjl
and be sent back on the next
train. A letter written at Funk
ley a distance Of six miles and
posted this morning will not
reach Blackjack until next Mon
day night.
These conditions the people of
the towns in the tall timber to
the north have tolerated for some
time. They have made a number
of efforts to have a change
brought about but have 50 far
been unsuccessful. They now
propose to start a concerted
effort ia every town on the line
to petition the postal department
to nave the mail clerk go
through on the passenger
trains instead Of getting off at
.Bemidji as at present. The mat
ter will be placed in the hands Of
. Congressman Stevenson and he
will be instructed to use his ut
most efforts with the department
to get some change that will be
better condition.
IF the request is granted by
the department. it will put two
mail clerks on the run and they
will work a week each alter
nateiy.
