He has been endeavoring to so ar
range his affairs that he can continue
his residence here. but this will likely
be impossible, and it is probable that

All Will regret exceedingly that Mr..

sIdered Fortunate.

Ice to the thickness OF from % to "a

sipri river, and should this weather
continue several more inches Will be
added to this already heavy coating.
The recent thaw and subsequent Sc
we're cold weather added several inch

the mercury lowering from 10 TO 10
degrees below zero. crystal formation

Ice dealers say they have never
known the ice to he thicker. Twenty
inch ice is considered unusual. and for
the past few years the record has sell
dom been higher than this. 1t is said
that at Rapids City. where Il number
of farmers get their supply Of ice for
the summer. twu-fCot ice has been
taken from the river. and this is eX-
"redingly difficult TO handle.
The local ice dealers feel elatel
over the fact that they did not wait
until February before beginning their
annual harvest. as it would have been
difficult to store away such immense
blocks as would be taken from the
river at present. With two-foot ice
the spring breakup will be watched

ter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as follows: sixteen years
ago. when our child was 4 baby. he
was subject to croupy spells and we
would be very uneasy about him. We
began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a
reliable remedy for colds and Group.
we have never been without ii in the
house since that time. We have five
children and have given it TO all of
them with good results. One good
feature of this remedy is that it is
not disagreeable to take and orr ba-
bies really ike it. Another Is that II
is not dangerous. and there is no risk
from giving an overdose. 1 congratu-
late You upon the success of your
remedy" For sale by all druggists.

my wife?" says troubled husband She spends my money right and left She Is more interested in euchre parties than in the economy of the home. Shall leave herr" What shall you do, my friends? Well, I am not here to tell you in detail. but this l do assert in general: Do not let the injustices of the past blind your eyes to the pressing duties of the pres ent Because your kith and kin and bus mess partners have been and are now doing wrong to you. do not you do wrong to them. Be patient. Be careful, and if you must err let 1t be upon the side of mercy. God does not tell you to weigh the past so much as to conscientiousy solve the pressing responsibilities drect- ly at hand. Stand stil" before you snap the golden cords of affection which blind you to that ~ayward sister, that wayward brother, that wayward child. that wayward husband. Stand still'' if you do not know what to do Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord"
 Be very patient when sickness comes and old age comes and the wearing fac ulties of mind and body seem 10 unfit you for the active duties of life. Be very patient when you seem to be like an old wornout horse turned out upon the commons to eat a little and sleep a little and. live a little longer and then ulcs ol us III Bitdl HhSlo III iho days of our youth used to sing in Sun day school that old hymn

But when the advancing years pass on, and by sickness or old age we seem to be laid away upon the shelf as use- less by busy world, then most of us do not appreciate the petition of that song prayer. We do not want to be nothing, nothing" We want to be something, something" and have that something very active something" Sometimes at the funeral of a strong man we see a suggestive floral tribute in a broken column. That means the man died in his prime. That means, most of us say. "Is 1t not too bad that he had to go when he had so much to live for?" But I do not think 1t takes nearly as much divine grace to die In your physical and mental prime as 1t takes to live on in physical invalidlsm or In decrepit old age.

eryday boys. We are like most of boys. We do what we are told to do and do nothing more.
 But I have a brother Jack The young folks say he Is queer and mean ana stingy. Some people say he is crazy. My brother Jack is not lazy. He works just as hard as we do, but when he makes dollar instead of spending that dollar as we do, he saves 1t or goes and buys some books. Instead loafing about the vil- lage store in the evening Jack is always home studying. If he is not crazy, Jack is certainly queer. One day Jack comes in and tells us he is going to teach win ter school In order to go to college. We think then he Is crazier still After awhile Jack. by working all his summers and all winters, gets through college, and then comes home and tells us that he is going to the law scohol. We think he Is crazier still. After awhile Jack, by years of self-sacrihce and hard work, is graduated. Then he goes to New York city. After awhile my brother Jack pushes his way to the front of the New York bar. What is the re- suit? Do we boys praise Jack for his labors? Do we say, If we had worked as he worked we could be where he is?' Perhaps. But that is not the general rule of the average family. We immediately begin to complain because Jack does not send us money and help support LIS. We take from him all we can get And so, when any man honestly tries to make a success out of life, he immediately has a lot of indigent, selfish, lazy folks about him trying to live off the results of his hard earned toll.
 Some one listening to me says. Yes that is so." Then you turn and say: What shall I do about my drunken brothers family2 Shall I pay any more money to let him keep on drinking?' What shall I do about my daughter?" says another. T do not want her to
 leave her husband, and yet I certainly do not want to keep on supporting both of them in their foolish extravagances." What shall I do about my wayward boy?' says another. Shall let him go to the dogs and not support him any lcnger?' What shall I do in reference to that lazy partner?" says another. He V ont work. and yet he expects half of the profits.'' What shall do in refer ence to my husband?" says a troubled wife. He is always loafiing around or entering into wildcat speculations which bring us in nothing to support the fam fly" What shall l do in reference to
