ton. Mr. Fuchs was well liked by all,
and his death causes much sorrow.

Salem adult scholars choir sang two
selections under the direction of the
present superintendent, accompanied on
the organ by Mrs. w. C. Jones, and
this very interesting meeting was
brought to close by singing the "Dox-

Rev. William C. Rowlands. ia.
The evening service was indeed SER

music right through. and was most re-
monstrative of child tastes. The build.
ing was profusely adorned with flowers.
and foliage and bunting, over the plat
form being in large letters, "Child-
ren's Day and Semi Centennial" The
children were also attired in charac-
ter, wearing various regalia and badges.
The adult scholars wore badges con-
tanning the inscription "Children's Day
and Semi Centennial of Salem Welsh
Congregational Sabbath School, June IL,
1905"
The children performed their parts
well, rejecting great credit upon the
teachers, especially Professor Roberts,
Miss Hannah Harris, David Bowen and
John L. Harris who had devoted much
time and energy in the production.
The subject of the service of song
was also very seasonable, being "Na-
lures Praises" showing Nature pointing
up. to Natures God and as the poet
has said, Finding books in running
brooks and tongues in trees, sermons in
stones and good in everything" The
exercises were very appropriate for this

A. S. Anderson of I.uverne had an OK

noon about the middle of the week two
men, one of whom represented himself
to be Judge Harris and the other
"Dr. Morgan" of Cedar Rapids, Iowa
drove out to Mr.. Anderson's home and
said that they understood that he had
an eighty-acre farm for sale. This fact
was admitted by Mr.. Anderson. The
Judge" then stated that he wanted to
buy a farm but he would be unable to
spare the time to look at it That eve-
ming. He would, however, send the
doctor" out the following morning at
eight o'clock to look the farm over and
also send money to pay for it, so that
1if everything was satisfactory, the deal
could be closed at once.
Promptly at the hour stated the next
morning, the doctor made his appear
ance and Mr.. Anderson accompanied him
to the farm. The property was perfect
ly satisfactory to the doctor and he
agreed to purchase it for mis- friend at
$50 Per acre cash.
On their way back they met man on

versation with them, inquiring for a
sister, who he said lived in that vicinity
He then told how an uncle had left
him a large sum of money and how he
had lost part of it in "skin game

to the kind of game they had feec-
ed him in and he showed them. The
doctor and the man then began play
ing the game and tried to induce Mr.
Anderson to join. The latter soon be-
gan to get wise to the situation. Twice
he made trial ''for fun" and each
time they made him tip the winning
card and passed over some money to
him. Finally they grew so bold as to
tell him that he had 5000 in the bank
at sIuverne and wanted him to- stake
it, Mr.. Anderson tried to get the men.

to have them arrested, but the "doetor".
