Several years ago william L. Doug

friends in New Hampshire. The first
morning there found him taking his
nsuai long walk. He had heard his

Just Tour miles from there. SO he Dc
cided to walk in that direction. He
nao gone about two miles when he
saw an old man summing himself in
the doorway OF a great barn which
stood near the road
Can you direct me to Wilson's Cas-

THE GIRL FROM SWEDEN"

"The Girl from Sweden" is the
attraction this week at the Auditorium.
The fact that yesterday was Palm Sun
day did not keep the people away from
the East side theater, which was crowd
ed at both performances. Several
seasons ago a play was presented at
the Auditorium under the caption of
IA Girl from Sweden,' but in the
vehicle that opened here yesterday
there is only one thing that resembles
the old production-the Indian who
aids Snow, the william, to abduct little
Jimmy, in the third act.
The story is wO en- around young,
awkward but pretty, little Swedish
girl named Hulda. She is employed
at the residence of the hero and makes
it very warm for the villain, who comes
sneaking around, trying to win the
hero's sweetheart, and endeavoring to
cause all the trouble he can. At every
juncture his Vaccinations are foiled
by Hulda and her lover, Ole Ander-
son. There are a number of climaxes
to the production, the principal one
being where Hulda saves Ole from
being killed by Snow.
The scenery and light etfets are
good. The principals, with several
exceptions, were chosen with skill by
the management. Much in praise may
be said of Miss Made De Long as
Hulda. Her makeup and dialect are
excellent and very humorous. She is
ever H1lda, never stepping out of the
role. Harry b. Forrest makes hand
some and "good" villain. Master
Faulkener is an admirable Jimmy.
Mr.. Knute Lea carries the role OF Ole
we'll. The hero and heroine roles are
acceptably handled by Mr.: Morton
and Miss Davenport
Turnout the unfolding of the play
specialties were introduced tn tthoroly
pleased. An especial hit was made
by Master Faulkener, who made his
appearance in the last act in full
dress suit which showed up his diminu-
tive figure to perfection. His\ singing
of "Hiram Greene' and s'Give NV
Regards to Dear Old Broadway was
applauded so many times that he
came back and did really clever
imitation of George Cohan singing his
famous song, "My Yankee Doodle
Boy" Fred Powers and Mia Keene
had fine and novel specially, manipu-
latlng about twenty hoops.

bill at the Auditorium for the week

~ Delaware's Hundreds.
In the days when the Saxons domi-
mated England prior to the coming of
William Of Normandy the people were
formed into divisions Of hundreds.
This was done mainly for military pur-
poses and the convenience of assembly
upon the summons Of the powerful
earls and barons to whom the people
owed allegiance. These hundreds usu-
ally consisted Of ten families, each
family being computed at minimum
Of ten persons. In time the families In
creased tn membership, but did not
lose their Individual identity or change
the designation, of organization. In
the natural order of events these hun
dreds expanded into communities and
ultimately into geographical divisions
and took on geographical designa-
tons. Some Of the American colo
nists adopted this form Of geographical
division, and thus we still have hun.
dreds In Delaware. and Virginia, al
though in the latter state that form of
designation is but seldom used. But In
Delaware hundred Is universally used
to describe the divisions of a county
and is equivalent to the township in
other states. -. .. 81. :

WilDmar's Strawboard Factory.

Clara City Herald: Peter Prins, an ex-
perienced paper maker of Holland but of late
years resident of Minneapolis, was in our
village Friday in order to get acquainted
with our people. Mr.. Prins has patent for
the manufacture of straw board which is
superior to anything manufactured In this
country and he is seriously thinking of start
ing a factory at Willmar for its m anufacture
Willmar is considered an ideal place for such
a factory on account Of it's new peat factory
which will give it cheap fuel. Such a factory
would no doubt be a good thing for the
farmers in this vicinity as the wheat and oats
straw which is now going to waste would
bring about four dollars ton...A. T. Prins
accompanied Peter Prins to Willmar Friday
where they met a represent1ve body of Will
mar business men to discuss plans for the
new straw board factory at Wil1mar. Altho
the above gentlemen bear the same name
they are in no wise related to one another
and had never met till a week ago. Mr..
Prins came over here Friday to meet some of
his fellow countrymen.

Stranxe Siamese Custom.

They. have novel method in Siam
Of getting rid of the bodies Of paupers
and criminals. In one of the temples
is kept a flock Of a hundred vultures,
and the bodies, instead Of being buried
or burned, are given to them as food.
As soon as they catch sight Of body
the rapacious creatures gather around
1t, and It only takes them a minute or
two to pick all the flesh off it.
A repugnant sight it is, but, accord
Ing to siamese physicians, it is an e1-
cellent sanitary measure. The soil of
Siam, they point out, is generally moist,
and hence it is much better that bodies
should be treated in this way than re.
placed in the ground, for, If buried,
they would surely prove more or less of
a menace to the public health.
After the vultures have finished their
feast the skeletons are placed In
wooden boxes and burned.
