LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN.

w nat Is 1t That makes the number
seven favorite? From the esrliest
times this numeral has held peculiar
significance in all things. It is the
favorite number With gamblers. There
are so-called seven wonders in the
world. Shakespeare divides the hu-
man life into seven ages.
Hippocratcs says that the septenary
number, by its occult power and vir-
tue, tends to the accomplishment of all
things, and is the dispenser of life and
the fountain of all its changes. In an
cient times a child was not named an
til it had been born seven days. And
the teeth are first cut in the seventh
month.
In olden times many philosophers
wrote treatises on the number seven.
1t was supposed to have magical pro-
peries for good, and it is the one mum.
Der below ten that neither begets nor
is begotten.
A number Of peculiar condolences
seem to have surrounded the first ssy-
en- Presidents of the United States.
All but one of these were 66 years
old on leaving Office, and the remain.
ing one would have been that age had
he been elected to second term Of
office. Three Of the seven died on the
Fourth of July, and two of them on
the same day and year. These two
last were on the subcommittee of
three which drafted the Declaration Of
Independence. They both died on the
anniversary OF the Declaration.
The initials of the names of two of
the seven are she same; the initials Of
two others are the same; and the ini-
tials of still two others are also the
same. OF the first five, none had =
son, and the two who had sons were
not elected to second, terms.
Another writer divides the human
life as fellows: At three times seven q
man reaches a competent age in the
syes of the law; at four times seven he
is in full possession Of bis strength; at
five times seven he is fit for the busi-
ness of the world; al six times seven
he becomes grave and wise, if hs is
ever destined to; at seven times seven
seven he is in his apogee and from that
time he begins to decay; at eight times
seven he is in his first climaeteric. at
nine times seven he is in his grand
climacteric, and at ten times seven he
has reached the allotted span of life.
This number plays prominent part
in events in the Bible. The creation
took six days, and on the seventh there
was rest. On the seventh day of the
seventh month holy observance was
ordained, and the Isrealites tasted
seven days and rested seven days.
Noah had seven days warning of the
food, and the seven years of plenty
were forotold in Pharaoh's dream by
seven lean beasts. We speak of the
seven heavens, and the seventh son
was supposed to be endowed with pre-
eminent wisdom.
In short there is no other number
which enters into the Biblo 80 often
ss seven. No doubt the wide popu-
larity of the number and the supersti-
tions which are connected with it came
from its wide use in the Bible:

He had walked for nearly an hour
before he became conscious that his
feet were numb with cold and his face
no longer felt the sting OF the sleet.

A young girl, turning briskly to
enter the house, exclaimed, so you

Wingate murmured something

followed the girl into the house.

commented the girl kindly. "Out this

Mother here's Bertram Wingate.
He was out this way and has looked

into the cherry sitting room.
he was thankful for the easily as
sumed explanations and glad to follow
the girl into the cosy room. Mrs.
Whitcomb greeted him heartily and
the whole family gathered about him,
pressing him to stay and asking news
of his people. There was an air Of
pleasant affection and Differences for
his accomplishments which was sooth.

When he took his. departure, Mrs.
Whitecomb said kindly, "Can't you
spend New Years with as, Bertrand"
"lt would be real charity on your
part if I may" said Wingate, flush
ing warmly at the thought Of the
other charity dinner be had expected
to eat.
otis real nice of you to speak that
way Bertram," said Mrs. Whitcomb,
stroking his sleeve, but you know the
pleasure will be ours in having friend
from the old Dakota home to share
the day with us."
The New Years dinner was by no
means the last which Bertram Win

If Won cannot, it is due to an
irritated or cor~ested state of
the brain, which will soon de-
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
OF CncOnsciousness relaxcs the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
1t is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
cry nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as DR.. Miles Nervine.
During the past winter I had two

allow any but the regula alton cards to
be sent. When the matter was first
discussed there was a tendency on the
part of the makers to bring out inn
proper cards, and a willingness on the
part Of the public to purchase such
cards and the department. gave all
postmasters discretio nary power about
excluding such card from the mails.
New Ulm people have in general paid
heed to the warning and no complaints
have been made to the New Ulm office
regarding the nature of the cards mail
ed from here. Lately, however, the
warnings from the department. have
become stronger and some Of the post
Offices in other. cities have received let
tiers which set out in no uncertain terms
the attitude of the authorities in re-
latiOn to this class of mail.
Orders are explicit to send to the
dead letter Office all cards of the class
mentioned and many persons who pay
five or ten cents perhaps, for cards
that seem to them funny will be panied
to learn that they never got farther
than the local postohice. Thousands
of cards are being sent to the dead let
ter Office under this ruling of the post
Office department and the money Of the
SenderS is wasted.

PENSION CAME TO HIM TOO LATE
Heinrich Meyer Dies Suddenly Last
Night.

Another of the old settlers of this
city passed to his reward last night in
the person of Heinrich Meyer, who
came to New Ulm in 1855. His death
was very sudden being caused by what
the doctors call heart failure.
During his life in this city he has
been known by all who have lived
here, has been good citizen and at
the time of the massacre bore arms in
defense of the people of the frontier,
for this service the state has only re-
Gently informed him that he was to re-
ceive a pension, though it has not
been paid.
He was born in Hanover, Germany,
Feb. "a, 1885 and came to this country
in the early ffties finally settling upon
this city as his home where he has
since lived. He was twice married, his
first wife dying in 1904 and the follow
ing year he was married to the wife
who survives him. He will be buried
in the city cemetery Friday afternoon
under the auspices of the Turnverein,
of which he was a member.

JOHN RADTKE TEXT FOR SERMON
Fairfax Standard Sermonizes on
Death From Drink.

John Radtke died at ST. Joseph's
hospital at New Ulm, Wednesday af-
ternoon. Acute alcoholism was the
cause. The deceased came to Fairfax
when N. II. Mahowald moved here
from Redwood Falls, and for time
was employed by him as shoemaker,
but later he purchased that part Of Mr..
Mahowald's business and established
a shoe shop on his own account. Like
many other poor unfortunates King
Alcohol had complete mastery over
him and his earnings went to satisfy
his craving for the poison. A couple
Of weeks ago he suffered an attack of
delerium tremons when the authorities
took charge of his case. For sanitary
reasons and safe-keeping he was placed
in the city bastile and a man put over
him to watch him. Later he was
brought back to his rooms and on
Wednesday morning he was taken to
New Ulm where he was placed in the
hospital.
1t is indeed pitiful to see a man die
under such circumstances but his fate
is similar to that Of hundreds Of
thousands who have gone before him,
and points temperance lesson so
strong that every boy or man can af-
ford to take warning. He will be buried
