DUCK AND ASSAULT DEAR FOR TWO
Young Goede and DingIer Pay Fines in Justice
Court.

He won a duck for his Thanksgiving
dinner shaking dice, came near losing
it, and only recovered it after he had
got much the worst of a hard fight
but Ignac Kosek got revenge yester-
day in Justice Henningsen's court
when William Goede, Jr., and Ivan
Dingler were fined, the one for assault
and battery and the other for attempt
ing to steal duck.
According to the testimony in court
Kosek had stepped into Filzen &
Sturm's S saloon to get drink and laid
his duck down near one end of the bar.
The bird looked tempting to Dingler
and he picked it up and started for the
door, followed by Goede.
Kosek discovered his loss and bore
down upon the two young men before
they got outside, but was met with
blows, and rough-house ensued.
Goede was fined for assault and battery
$40 and S6.29 costs, and Dingler paid
$5 in fine and S5.07 in costs into the
city treasury.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The most inexcusable thing in the
world is to unjustly abuse decent cit
zen
1t doesn't do people any good to be
old enough to know better unless they
are also too old to enjoy meanness.
Every man needs a chart to tell him
the degrees Of kinship in his family,
but his wife knows them so well she
can say them backward.
The truth about some people who
seem to be doing so much is that they
always put things off until the last
minute and then have to rush.
The early bird may get the worm,
but the late bird has as good an argu-
ment: He gets his rest which the early
bird misses and has never yet starved.
Be patient with the girl who takes
SO long to dress. By and by she will
be able to do up the work and dress
herself and three or four children in
half the time she takes for herself now.

coll LEGE IS NOT TO Be ENLARGED
Committee Decides to Build Residence for Pro-
fessor sperline.

The DR.. Martin Luther college will
not be enlarged as was proposed at the
last meeting of the Minnesota synod,
but other arrangements will be made
to relieve the congestion at the school
caused by the increasing number of
students.
The committee appointed to look in
to the matter met in this city Wednes-
day and consisted of the following:
Rev. G. j. Albrecht, Herman Schape-
kahn, Henry Cordes, and F. w.
Blauert of New Ulm, Rev. j. C. Al
brecht of Hutchinson, Rev. r. Heider-
mann of Arlington and j. Kroeger Of
Mankato.
Professor J E. Sperling occupies SIX
rooms in the college for a residence
and the committee decided that il
would be cheaper to build Mr.. Sperl
ing a dwelling than to enlarge the
college building, so that this will be
done.

Dangers of Melancholy.

The weak, broken spirited person
grows morbid and melancholy, and the
brain degenerates rapidly under the
influence Of these mental states. Mel
ancholia is something that comes more
within the province of the will power
than anything else. It can be cast off
and avoided only in this way. Some
times for the lack Of stimulating the
will physicians will recommend a
change Of occupation, scenery and as
sociation. This is merely an attempt
to rescue the mind from introspection
and give the will an opportunity to as
sert itself. Sometimes this is accom-
plished, and then, if followed up by
cultivating the will, permanent cure
may be- effected.

COMPENSATION.
All Things Are to he Had If One VIII
but Pay the EuuiYaIent


Life consists almost wholly of buy
ing, selling, paying. There are no
gifts, nothing that does not call for an
equivalent. If we cannot pay for gifts
In kind we must pay in gratitude or
service or we shall rank as moral bank
rupts.
If | would have a good situation I
must pay for it not only in labor, but
In promptness, intelligence, faithful
ness and good manners If I would
have good service must pay not only
In money, but in consideration, recog-
milton, appreciation, fairness I can
hold no one to me if l misuse him.
All things are to be had for the buy
ing. Would you have friends? Then
pay the price. The price of friendship
is to be worthy of friendship. The
price of glory is to do something glori-
GUS. The price of shame is to do some
thing shameful.
Friendship, glory, honor, admiration,
courage, infamy, contempt, hatred, are
all in the market place for sale at a
price. We are buying and selling these
things constantly as we will Even
beauty is for sale. Plain women can
gain beauty by cultivating grace, ami
nation, pleasant speech, intelligence,
helpfulness, courage or good will.
Beauty is not in the features alone; it
is in the soul also.
Good will buys good will, friendli-
ness buys friendship, confidence be-
gets confidence, service rewards serv-
ice, and hate pays for hate, suspicion
for suspicion, treachery for treachery,
contempt for ingratitude, sloyenliness,
iaZiness and lying
We plant shrub, a rosebush, an Or
chard, with the expectation that they
will pay us back We build roads,
mend harness and patch the roof with
the same expectation. We will trust
even these unconscious things to pay
their debts.
Some of our investments are good
and some are bad. The good qualities
we acquire-moderation industry, cour-
tesy, order, patience, candor-are sound
investments. Our evil institutions and
habits are bad investments, involving
us in losses. We become debtors to
them, and they are exacting creditors,
forcing payment in full in money and
labor and sometimes in blood, agony
tears, humiliation or shame. - From
Balance: The Fundamental Verify y
