A Call to the Woods.

"Mr. Busy Man," admonishes Tom
Wstson'in his magazine for October,
'leave your task some day, let the
shop take care of itself, let the mill
go "a it may, let The pillow stand in the
furrow-and take yourself into the
depths OF the solemn, shadowy woods.
Call back, ali, call back the forgotten
years, collect around you the old
friends, che old thoughts, the old am
bilious, the mistakes you made, the
faults you had, the wrongs you did or
suffered, the opportunities wasted, the
vain things you sought, the work that
you might have done better, the kind
words you might have spoken and did
not, the good deeds you might have
done and did not, the frowns that
should have been smiles, thu curses
that might have been blessings, the
tears that ought never to have been
shed, the wounds that need never have
been made.
Commune with yourself-your past,
your present, your future-your crimes
your weaknesses, your doubts, your
fears, your hopes, your despair; and
thus let Conscience and the Angels OF
your Better Self beat your soul into
the prayer:
''God be merciiul to me-, sinner!''

Farm Residence Burns.

Tie farm residence of Aug. Beck
man, residing about three miles south
east of town, was totally destroyed by
fire last Saturday morning between
the hours of six and sever. The
origin of the fire is unknown as there
was no one at home, Mr.. and Mrs.
Beckman having left that morning
early to attend the street fair at
Willmsr. A number of the neighbors
saw tho smoke rolling out from the
roof and hurried to the ecene but up
on their arrival found the entire build
ing all in flames and all possibility OF
saving any of the contents was out OF
the question. There was little or no
wind thst morning which was very
fortunate, or the barn and other build
ings might have been in danger. Mr..
Beckman knew nothing of his misfor-
tune until notified by someone at Will
mar in the afternoon. His loss is
quite heavy with only 500 insurance.
He has been very unfortunate In the
past four years, losing his residence
by fire four years ago and large
barn about two years ago and again
his residence now.-Raymond News

during q long residence in -Wil|mar
attained considerable .toriety, has
Of late been conducting q refreshmeIt

ments dispensed by the old gentleman

quaiuted with his eventful career but
to the uninitiated it may be necessary
to state that he was running what
some people vulga rly call q "blind
pig" H.
He soon made many acquaintance
and his cronies described him as q
"perfect gentleman who had been
made jail-bird by the church people
Of Willmar, His efforts to relieve the
thirsty were highly appreciated by bis
patrons and it is said that he has
done very lucrative business.
But sad to say, this eams, was
carried on in violation of the state
law and ordinances of the village OF
Spicer and there were people so hard
hearted as to believe that the laws
should be enforced. These people
secured evidence against Waterman
but he got tip from some of his
friends and quietly skipped without
leaving his address with the officers
of the law.
The old gentleman s cronies are now
disconsolate and the only comfort
they can take is in getting their heads
together and cursing the meanness OF
the people who are 'truining" the
town by trying to uphold the law.
The "perfect gentleman's" friends
think that such people "a he ought to
be encouraged to remain in business
