There is not the slightest doubt
that there is another city OF its size

said he. 1t was found that the
Fourth ward has not single 81

Lane requested that arc lights be

BUILT HOME FOR
BROTHER IN A DAY
NOBLE WORK OF MODERN WOODMEN
Provided for Brother Member in
Distress, and Made Day One of
Real Thanksgiving.

J. NJ. Reeds Thanksgiving Day
was made one of happiness and jov
by the helping hand the members of
the local camp of the M. w. A. ex-
tended to him when he was in trou-
BILE. Nov. 30, 1906 is day he will
never forget.
Last spring Mr.. and Mrs. Reed,
their two daughters, Nettie and Nell
lie, and a small son, came to this
city from Gilmore, Minnesota. They
were energetic people and at once
went to work to make a home here.
Mr.. Reed labored all summer on the
county and state roads under Mr..
Lancaster and Mr.. Lum, and in the
fall, when the apple crop was ready
to gather both he and his family
went to work in w. L. Wright s
orchard in Fruitvale. With two
weeks work yet to be done the
father was taken down with the
fever and confined to his bed seven
weeks in a small tent in Modern
addition, on a lot which he had pur-
chased with his summers wages.
Here he had intended to erect a small
cottage for his home.
Before Mr.. Reed was able to
walk again his wife and daughters,
weakened by caring for him yield
ed to the same disease, and the
whole family were ill in the one
small tent. At this time the small
son was sent away to friends to
be cared for and Mr.. Reeds young
niece came to attend to the inval-
ids.
Before his wife was taken sick
Mr.. Reed wrote to the camp of the
NJ. w. A., of which he was a men,
Der in Iowa and they sent an or
der for $50 to the local camp. Be-
fore this was paid over the other
members of the family were i'll and
the Woodmen realizing that the $50
would not be sufficient to carry them
through took the matter in their own
hands and supplied the necessary
fuel, food and clothing. Thursday
morning 20 of them went to the
lot owned by Mr.. Reed with lumber
and erected beside his small tent a
comfortable building 14x20 The
rooms were papered and carpeted
and made as comfortable and home
like as possible. 1t was a splendid
forenoon work. The unfortunate
family was provided with home
in keeping with their needs and
when the work was done they were
certainly filled with the Thanksgiv-
ing spirit.
When asked what his intentions
were before his FELLOW Woodmen
came to his relief, Mr.. Reed said {:
well, the only thing I was able to
do for the family was to let the
Woodmen pay my policy" He also
expressed his appreciation of their
loyalty and liberality.
His wife and daughters are slowly
improving and with the added COM
fort of tho new house they will
doubtless recover in a few weeks. A
physician is in attendance and all
through the illness of the family has
aided them, not alone with medical
attendance, but also with groceries
and other necessaries. Among those
who assisted in the erection of the
house were r. Sanders, Mr.. Hutch
ings, Mr.. Whited, ]. Perry, Ben
Shay, Ed Walker and brother, Paul
Kruger, ]. w. Stohr, Gus Swanson,

Memorial Day is the day which we

deeds OF the soldiers killed during the

tho Southern States, and was copied by
some Northern States on different days,
all In the spring. In 1855 Cen John A.
Logan, then mmander In chief Of the
Grand Army OF the Republic, ordered that
May S0th OF that year should be cele-
brated az "Decoration Day" Since tina.

THE POPLAR
TREE.

One night just as sunset an old man
found a pot of gold which lies at the
end of the rainbow.
"Where shall find a place to hide IT,
he said, "for 1t is SO heavy cannot
carry it home
At last he came to thick forest. In
the forest grew poplar tree. shail
hide my treasure here" he said.
So he hid the gold and hurried home
to tell his story.
In the morning. Ivy, the rainbow mes
senger, missed the pot of gold and hnr-
ried up to Zeus to tell him OF her
troubles.
Then Zeus sent Hermes Immediately
down to look for 1t. Hermes came 70
the forest where the gold was hidden.
He asked the trees II they knew any,
thing about 1t. They murmured some
thing which Hermes could not under
stand. so he told Zeus.
Zcus looked down from the heavens
and said. Hold up your arms. that I
may see that you are awake" Up went
the arms and out tumbed the gold from
the poplar tree.
The poplar tree hung his head and
grleved.
Father of Trees" he cried forgive
me and | will hold my arms up ever
afterwards.
At first he was much laughte dat but
later all young poplars grow alike. Soon
the poplar family was respected and
loved by everybody.
