Pathetic Story of the Fate Of a Lose
Child

Pathetic Story of the Fate Of Lose
Child.
Zack Bedo was one of the tender
hearted, ready-handed pioneers whom
Mrs Campbell Praed has described in
her book, My Australian Girlhood."
When Ryman, the fencer's boy, got
lost in the bush, it was lack Bedo who
tracked him for three days and two
nights, and brought the little shoe the
child had worn ana lock of hair back
to the mother. and cried like a child.
when he gave them To her.
He dug out the boys grave with hfH
own hands and tomahawk, and bur-
led him quickly, before the father
could get to the place, SO that the
poor mother might never hear de-
scribed what he, lack Bedo. had seen.
And because he could think of nothing
better, and could not bear to lay what
the hawks had left in the ground with
out prayer, he said the only thing
that came into his mind at the mo-
ment- the remembrance, perhaps, Of
something his own mother had taughB
him Suffer little children to come
unto me, for theirs is the kingdom OF
heaven"
That was the excuse he made when.

added, but that hadn't seemed quite
right, somehow"

STORMS OF OLD ENGLAND.
Many Severe Blows Are Matters Of
Historic Record.

Many Severe Blows Are Matters Of
Historic Record.
England's recent hurricane the Lon
don Chronicle finds to have been a
mere teacup affair compared with
storms Of historic record. In the year
944 in London alone 1900 houses were
blown down. In October, 1891, great
number Of churches and 500 houses
were destroyed. In 1926 it Numbered
for fifteen days consecutively. The
dreadful night during which Crom.
wells spirit passed has formed a theme
for poet and partisan. And the great
storm that "o'er pale Britannia passed"
in November, 1703-the most terrible
In British annals-also has its endur-
ing record In poetry. 1t did damage
in London to the amount Of e2000,-
900, over 5000 people were drowned
in floods in various parts of the coun-
try, twelve men-of-war, with over 1900
lien on board went down in sight of
land, and the Eddystone Lighthouse,
along with Winstanley, its inventor,
was swept away.

TO SAVE TROUBLE.

Governor John G. B:ady, of
Alaska is visiting the Worlds

A World reporter was con-

one day, and in the middle of
the job the shoemaker called
him indoors.
" That is thirsty work you
are doing, john said the shoe
maker kindly, 4 am going TO

Big Compliment.

Joseph Selby, member of the
:fSelby Poultry Company paid
this city a big compliment Sat.
urday. He said;
Monroe is one of the prettiest
small towns 1 ever saw. 1t has
more shade trees and more sol.
id streets than any place I
know of that is anything like
its size and the gravel roads
running OF the Queen of the
Prairies has the best of those
running out of Quincy. Why,
the other day a friend of mine,
visited me from Kansas City
and I took him out for a drive
and he was delighted with the
country and surprised at the
good condition of the gravel
roads.

FOR CAMPAIGN
INCLUDES CONTINUANCE OF HTS
..-~--,s. SPECIAL, COMMITTEE.
A Feeling Exists in the Republican
Central Committee That the Cam
paign Affairs of the County Should
Be Managed Entirely by the Conn
> rnittee ~

Unless other arrangements are eff
fected In conference held by Major
w. D. Hale and Thomas H. Girling to-
day, the Fletcher congressional com
mittee, Of which the postmasterHis
chairman, will participate in the call
ing of the republican convention eau
cuses and will retain it's organization
and perpetuate the dual credential
system for at least another campaign.
The calling Of the, state convention
for March II necessitates, the holding
Of the Henneptn county republican
convention March IA or Is and the
holding Of the caucuses IN this county
about March IL. AS three weeks no
tice must be given, the Hennepin
county republican executive commit
tee, OF which the chairman, George L..
Matchan, is i'll. will meet in day! or
so and make arrangements for the
caucus call. 60 =
When the republicans decided on a
new system of campaign direction,
following the passage, OF the primary
election law. it was specified that the
county central committee should SUI
persede the congressional, judicial and
other committees which had UP Ito
that time been IN ssexistence. The
Fletcher congressional committee con-
tinued in existence, however, althos it
did not attempt to interfere with the
work of the central committee, and
Major w. D.. Hale announced this
morning that the committee would
continue it's organization for the COM
ing campaign.
1t is purposed to have the two COM
mittees work in harmony, furnishing
two sets of credentials for the dele
gates to the state convention and talk
ing equal part. in, the calling Of the
caucuses and decisions as to the basis
upon which delegates shall be elected.
While the central committee has no
complaint to make Of the position TAX
en- by the Fletcher committee in. the
last campaign, there is a. feeling. that
the political affairs Of the county, as
far as the republican party Is con-
cerned, should be entirely managed by
the committee agreed on and elected
by the republicans for that purpose.
Mr.. Fletcher prefers to have his con-
gressional committee kept in the har-
| ness, tho he is no longer congress
man. ~! -
1t is practically certain that the Nc
Kinley vote of 1900 will be used as a
basis for the selection of delegates
from this county and that the county
convention, which Will be attended by
! about 500 delegates, will be held in
| the fourth ward Wigwam. ~
