TEMPERANCE COLUMN


Bishop sPotter is making himself
famous 10y taking such an .int0re-t in
toe working man that he dedicated a
saloon as y working mans club where
be can get all kinds Of drinks and free
lLnch and spend social evening away
from home, Tie says how can man
enjoy himself Of an evening who lives iu
> small rooms with wife anu . children.
The saloon to him is a necessity and the
bishop opened it With the Doxology and
when they got through singing Praise
Gud from whom all blessings liow. An
exchange says the blessing" began to
flow and the tune changed to ave won't
90 home ill morning."
Why don't Bishop Potter have some
sympathy for TIE poor mother OF the

who he was, for he died centuries ago:
I know that some little girls and boys
are longing to say now:
"Oh, we're too old for that sort OF
thing. We know there is 90 such
person as Santa Claus. Our presents
are given us by our fathers and moth
ers. We know all about it,
So far as the presents are concerned,
perhaps they are right, but when they
push dear o!,. Santa Claus out of the
way as a myth they are quite wrong,
for Santa Claus was once as mucn
alive as any little girl or boy who
reads this.
St. Nicholas lived about the year 300
A. D., and lie was 4 bishop Of the early
Christian church in Asia Minor. Ihe
name Santa Claus is merely different
form of his real name, just as Carl ana
Carlos are varying forms Of the name
Charles, and Maria and Marie are OF
Mary.
During lis holy and useful life s.,
Nicholas was very good to all the little
children he met, giving them presents
and making them happy in every pos
silylc way. He is, therefore, to be re-
meMbercl at this season because 1t IS

three purses filled with gold into the
window and hid before the girls could
see who it was that sent this unexpect-
ed gift.
The next night he did not go, but the
night following he tapped softly again
and threw three more purses into the
window He waited like time and
then threw them a third present, but
did not hide quickly enough, for they
saw who it was-the kind old bishop
who loved children so tenderly. OF
course, they were very grateful for

FATHER kROfGfR dad.
Famous Physician Priest
Yields to Great Physi-
clan ~.

nave, IN Euo paSG low years, gone u
Epiphany. 8. D., to be treated by
Rev. VIM. Kroeger, who died Thurs
day, Dec. 8tb.
Some years ago Father Kro ger be-
gan his career as a healer and his
practice Increased until thousands of
people visited Epiphany, seeking his
services. He became the principal
property owner in the town Of Epi-
phany. He owned the bank, drug
store, sanitarium, weekly newspaper,
creamery, had his own elecfria light
plant, was the owner of other proper
ty of the town and in addition was
proprietor of stage line which car
ried his patients to and from the ne-r-
est railroad points, Epiphany and
Kroeger being situated remote from
railroad lines Recently ne built the
town of Kroeger, adjoining Epi phany
townsite and there made his resi-
dence.
The deceased was bern in Cincinna
ii, O., Jan. 25, 1858. He served as an
assistant pastor at Cincinnati o., and
! Lafayette, Iud., and was then sta
toned at Elknart, Ind, where ne re-
| mained for fourteen years. In April
1898, he went to Epiphany, S. D.,
! and became pastor of the parish after
which the town ia named. Soon after
he began his medical practice which
| brought him in conflict With the
church authorities. The general leg
islation of the church forbid priests to
practice medicine, and this legislation
was made specific in the laws of the
last Baltimore Council. Father Kroe-
ger in 1898. applied to the Propagan-
da at Rome for permisson to continue
his practice of medicine. Bishop
O'Gorman was opposed to him doing
so. On August 1S, 1898, letter from
the Propaganda was received refusing
to give Father Kroeger permission to
practice medicine. T1ereupo1 the
latter resigned his parish. Bishop
O'Gorman allowed Father Kroeger to
continue saying Mass. with the re-
striction that ne should say it in priv
ate. Hearing that Father Kroeger was
setting up chapel in his sanitarium,
where he intended to say Mass for his
patients, Bishop O'Gorman called his
attention to the fact that it would be
NJ ceesary to obtain special license
! from Rome before doing so Father
Krceger applied to Rome and was
again refused permission. Refusing 70
obev these orders he was suspended
from the saying of Mass.
His patients, however, contir2ed to
increase They arrived principally by
trains at the nearest railroad point,
but the teams Of those who drove
often filled two large liverybarns IT
the railway term: nue.. Five years a<yl
maum rth sanitarium or laboratory
was completed and DR.. Kroeger moved
into it from the residence, in which
he had been conducting his offioe prac
tice. The same year hospital con
tanning about twenty rooms was built
It WAS used for cancer and consump
tive patients. At mis- death his invest
ments in Epiphany amounted K
$173. 900.

MERCHANTS WARNED.

The fire insurance underwriters assS-
ciatlon Of Minnesota and North Dako
ia has issued circular to the mer
chants of the state calling attention to
the liability of fires during the days
before Christmas. The report goes on
to say that many stores use cotton
and other inAammable material in de-
corating extensively and that several
fires from this source have been re-
ported already.
The general reason of these Eres is
laid to the carelessness in surrounding
electric lights and electric wires with
these cotton decorations The stuff
catches fire easily and makes stub
born blaze to fight. The underwriters
believe that fires of this nature can be
avoided by the exercise of little care
and judgment and hence the circular
is issued calling the attention of the
merchants to the matter.

ARTIFICIAL COTTON.

Artificial cotton has been produced
in small way from cellulose obtained
from the, bark of fir trees says the
Textile Record. The wood is first
crushed into fibrous mass. then sub
jectea to steam pressure in a closed
cylinder for ten hours. The next steps
are a series of chemical treatments
and finally the mass is converted into
fine daments by being forced under
pressure through small apertures. We,
however, know that we are not get
ting anything artificial when it bears
tie name of golden grain belt beer.
This beer is brewed from the finest
barley malt and hops. It is most deli
cious and invigoratina. Order q case
