NEW LONDON TINES:
While hauling hay Mr.. Hans Christensen
had the misfortune of having the load tip
and the next moment the entire load was
upon him. Prompt work on the part ofEdw.
ohnson saved him from being snothered.
Elmer Erickson and Lars Hanson were
working together with the extra gang in the
gravel pit just east Of the village, digging
and taking out roots and stumps, both were
working on the same stump with grub hoes.
Elmer was STOPPING over and when Lars
swung his hoe over his head with the inten-
ton of chopping off root, it struck Elmer
on the head giving him an awful cash. It
will probably keep him from his work for
sometime.
M. A. M ostue came down from his claim
near Drisco1l, N. D., last week. He returned
on Monday and will build a house on his
claim at once. He will move his family
there.
Last Friday evening, lightning struck the
| residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Pete Lundberg in
| Colfax, knocking down the chimney, and
| tearing out part Of one of the walls. The
shock rendered Mrs. Lundberg unconscious
| for some time. Had she been in the house
alone the result wonld probably been worse

But the prompt action of Mr.. Lundberg in
extingushing the fire probably saved her life
as we'll as the house and it's contents.

extra gang down at the gravel pit was at
work spiking down rails last Monday when,

EUROPEAN HOTEL WILL
PATTERN AMERICAN IDEAS

European hotels or the better class
are being AmericaniZed in point of con-
struction, equipment, and management
as rapidly as their owners can bring
about change. American patronage
that owners of big Continental hostel
ries say their success depends upon
adopting American methods. and, be-
sides Europeans generally are learning
their lessons from Americans in this re-
spect and beginning to add their de-
mands to those of the visitors for more
modern accommodations. a score of
large hotels to be erected in European
cities next year will be modelled almost
entirely on an American plan.
Builders of several OF these Struc-
lures are now in New York studying the
biggest hotels there, ano in other cit
les. They are enthusiastic in praise OF
what they have seen. These men are
Herr Antoine Aulich, proprietor of the
Savoy West End Hotel. in Carlsbad;
Herr Arthur Geissler, proprietor OF the
Campbell, the Columbia, and other no.
tells in Paris and Trouville, and M. Leon
gina, one of the best known hotels in
the French capital.
Herr Aulich and Herr Geissier are be-
ginning the construction Of a large no.
tel in the Champs Ely sees, near the Arc
de Triomphe, and NJ Tauber is build
ing another in the Avenue Kleber.
These new places will be constructed
New York, and their present plans will
be remodeled as result of what the
proprietOrs have seen in this country.
Messrs. Aulich. Tauber and GeissIer
nave visited Washington. PHILADELPHIA
Sunslo, Niagara Falls, and Boston.

and William T. Deming, both OF the
architect firm of Wood. Dom & Deming.
The houses adjoln. and are located at
2021 and 2O23 Connecticut avenue.
The houses are unusual in plan. The
arrangement is such that the light court
is in front instead OF in rear, as IS usual.
This scheme gives two rooms on each
floor a street frontage. The servants
entrances are from the front by side
gates.
Styles Combined.
Another distinctly attractive feature OF
the houses is to be found in the provi-
sion for entertaining.
While the drawing-ro floor IS one
story above the street. on the English
basement style. the plan also has the
great advantage Of the usual sloop
house Of having the kitchen on the din
! ing-room floor
| The servants hall is in the basement.
All Above Ground.
The main floor contains the drawing
| room. library on the court, the pantry.
back stairs and kitchen The houses
have wide entrance halls in the front
part OF the Easements. Back OF the hall
ways are the furnace rooms, laundry and
servants hall.
The houses each contain fourteen
rooms and three baths. and no portion
of them is below ground.

door once more hung on rollers? John
and the boys were getting the garden
ready for early vegetables, and the
neighbors were talking of the wonder
full transformation OF John Thompson.
John smiled, but held his peace, even
toward Mary, until one day the waters
did indeed turn the wheels Of a mill
that became the most fiourishing in the
country.
On the site OF the old home a fine
residence was erected, but John would
not allow the house to be destroyed. 1t
WIS removed to the rear Of the grounds
and its exterior neatly improved and
covered with vines. The interior was
never changed. John loved to draw

he did years before, on the night he

land of Might Have-Been and there

into the sitting room, where a cheerful
blaze invited him to sit down just long
enough to think where he had better
lay the foundation for the mill.
So absorbed did he become that at
first he noticed nothing of what was GO
Ing on around him. Gradually, how
ever the conviction grew that he was
not alone. The fire had burned low,
the room was in semi-darkness, but
over there in the corner was something
gray and misty. AS his eyes became
accustomed to the half-light, tine gray
mist assumed the form of a woman,
tall and strong and supple, with long,
black hair, and great hollow eyes that
searched him through and through. The
blood grew chill in his veins, a cold
sweat broke out all over his body and
frozen horror paralyzed his tongue
when the figure seemed to reach out
toward him. For full FIVE minutes this
lasted, then John gasped.
who are you and what do you
want?'
In a deep, sepulchral tone the wom-
| an exclaimed:
You. l am the spirit of the uncom-
pleted past. Year by year you have
given me shape and substance. You
have reared me well, my beloved, and
now l claim you for my own. You
are mine and l am yours. Come, let
us away" and she stretched out her
arms as though to draw him to her en-
brace.
John shrank back and murmured, at

home. l cannot leave them"

ply. They are but parts of that which
has made me stronger year by year.
Your wife has few of the comforts and

show you them by and by. Your home
is crumbling shell, amid tumble-down,
ill-kept surroundings. And where are
your children's dainty food and soft
raiment and educational advantages?
They are all mine. Your wealth, your
ambition and your highest manhood lie
on my altar and 1t Is meet that you
yield me still more. l am greater and
wiser and stronger than you. Come
with me-"
Vainly John begged for one more day.
The unfulfilled would not grant one
hour. With a swift movement she
clasped the agonized, helpless man to
her breast and bore him swiftly over
land and sea. On mighty, windswept
plain she laid him down and babe him

Tenderly, pityingly, she lifted him to
place beside his loved ones. The
mill quivered and trembled, then grew
strong as adamant when Johns sturdy
shoulder rested against it.
Sadly the Unfulfilled laid her down
and died. and from her ashes rose a
fair and gracious matron, who ruled the
world with a mighty strength and
grace. The Everlasting Present was
her name, Futurity was her daughter,
and Do and Dare her handmaidens.

CANsT THOU FoRGET3

Canst thou forget the days of loves
awaking,
The fair, sweet days, when life was so
complete;
When We forgot that hearts are ever
breaking,
And sorrow something which we all
must meet?
Canst thou forget the touch Of clinging
fingers,
The purple sky, the sunlight on the
lake!
Is there no word which in the mem'ry
fingers
message treasured for the past's dear
sake?
Canst thou forget the life we planned to-
gether,
The scent of fow'rs, the story Of the
The far off hills, with mists as blue as
heather,
The weird, strange voices mid the
summer breeze2
,Const thou forget the castle walls we
builded,
The pictured scenes of journeyings
afar,
The dreams which seemed as BY an angel
gilded,
The love we trusted as a guiding star?
Canst thou forget, when sad of heart and
weary,
Oppressed and spent with toll and trials
sore,
And troubled long amid the wears so
dreary,
For one blest hour of days that are no
more?
Canst thou forget, o, love of mine for
ever,
Tho time and distance lie our hearts
between,
The link that binds us nothing can dis
sever,
And naught can rob 1t of its old-time
sheen?
Canst thou forget, when all our tasks
are ended
And silence frees us from the hearts
regret,
II, facing God, life's wrongs may be de-
Tended
Canst thou forget, o. love, canst thou
forget?
