an illness of several months due to a
cancer.

Hallowell, Me-, in lS45, and few years
later at st. Louis Medical college. He
had been in active, medical practice for
half century and while an actogenar-
ian was vet in practice and remarkably
well preserved both mentally and ply
sically up to the time of his last i'll
ness. He began the practice. of his pro-
fession in Wisconsin but in 1859 moved
to Minnesota valley and located in GAR
den City. After practicing there for
thirteen years, he moved to New Ulm
ed in Sleepy Eye.
In the early part of the War of the
Rebellion he was appointed surgeon by
the government to examine men for
drafting. His territory covered seven
counties in southern Minnesota with
headquarters at Mlankato. In 1869 he
was made first assistant surgeon in the
Tenth Minnesota regiment, then station
led at Garden City. He had charge of
the hospitals, which were dwelling houses
used temporarily.

1t will be remembered by many old
settlers that in 1866 regiment of parol-
ed rebel soldiers were kept at Madelia.
DR.. Welcome was physician and sur
geon to this regiment. ,-.s
The old settlers will well remember
the tragedy that took place at the jew
miles east of Garden City, in May, 1865.

the sight that met his eyes was most
horrifying. Mr.. Jewett and wife were

Several years ago William L. Douglas

in New Hampshire, relates the Boston
Herald. The first morning there found
him taking his usual long walk. He had
heard his friend talking of Wilson's cas-
cade, just four miles from there, so he
decided to walk in that direction. He
had gone about two miles, when she saw
IN old man summing himself in the door

lETloUETTE AND BUSINESS.
While Business Woman Is Exempt
from Certain F6rmalities, She r
Expected to. Observe Some:

The rigidfty governing the code Of
manners for the polite world has had to
be considerably altered since the advent
of the business woman, for, despite her
long hours of work. she often holds q
certain position in society, but she is ex-
empt from. certain formalities. The
business woman is not entirely freed
from social duties az is the American
business man, and some few observances
Of the ceremonies of convention still ara
expected of her, but she is not tied down
to severe rules as is the case with her
idle sister, says Margaret Hubbard
Ayres, In the New York World.
The business woman who Is at work
all day long must of necessity be exempt
from formal social calls, such as should
be paid between the hours Of 3 and $50
in the afternoon, for it is always as
sumed that she is busy during these
hours excepting on Sunday.
She reserves Sunday for calls Of pleas.
ure, rather than ceremony.
The business woman invited to din
ner cannot always pay her dinner call
on her hostess within the prescribed
time. She therefore sends a note of
thanks within couple Of days after tho
dinner.
Notes are frequently substituted by
the woman for personal calls and it Is
necessary for her to have her dainty sta
tionery free from the slightest trace or
suggestion of her profession.
Great punctuality in the matter of her
notes of appreciation excuses the busi-
ness woman from calls and visits that
she has not the time to attend to.
She can keep in touch with her world
through these graceful missives and at
the same time courteously furnish ex-
cuses for any seeming delinquency.
There are many occasions when the
business woman can only send cards in
stead Of leaving them In person.
The business woman also sends cards
to her intimate friends and to those to
whom she is under obligations, announc.
ing the change in her home address.
The business woman observes the
same rule as man in never confounding
her business with her personal card,
which should only bear her home ad.
dress.
The business woman also sends her
card with a few words Of inquiry or good
feeling in the case of some illness or mis-
fortune which may have befallen an ac-
quaintance.
The business woman observes a GER
tain amountof formality in her business
relations; thus, she does not send in a
card with her personal address when
making a business call on a man; nor
does she shake hands with business
acquaintance unless he is also a per-
sOnal friend.

RHEUMATIC PAINS
Disappear When Or. Williams Pink
Pills Purify the Blood and
Heal InSlamed Tissues.


Rheumatism is q disease Of the blood,
caused by the failure of the body to cast
of certain poisons. External applica-
tions are Of use only in securing tempo
rary relief from pain-she cure for
rheumatism lies in purifying and en-
riching the blood.
Mrs. Frederick Brown, Of 40 Sumpter
street, Sandy Hill, NY, was sufferer
from inf1ammatory rheumatism from
the time she was sixteen. She says:

FOR A JAPANESE DINNER.
One Can Initiate Many Of the Queer
Dishes-The Matter Of Decor
alton Is Easy.

Numerous requests have come from
readers for strictly up-to-date jap
anese dinner. In large city one can
purchase at a large importing house
nearly all the requisites for such
a dinner, such as the sailed plums,
picked fish and chop suey, soy to mix
with rice and salads, and the dainty
rice cakes, or. at least, the rice -four.
and all sorts Of delicious preserved
fruits, which are served with forks for
that purpose, or If these be lacking
toothpicks may be used With ma
terials the average housekeeper has
at hand she could serve a homeless
meat of some kind. as the Japs never
serve meat with a bone in 1t at the
table, and olives. Rice Is cooked with
tea, but this would not be relished by
the average guest. Salads are always
made of sailed or picked fish: her
ring, could be used. Sweet cakes are
served with tea in cups without
handles. The room should be deco
rated with Japanese lanterns. UNI
brellas and fans. with lanterns used
as candle and globe shades. Tiny fans
come expressly for hair ornaments,
six being none too many for the deco
ration of ones couture. Napkins
come folded most intricately into
shapes OF frogs and other animals. anil
1t is quite trick to see II they can be
refolded in the original shape. The
repast in japan would end with sailed
plums. so pass the olives again.

The Chronicle.
C0LFAX - LOUISIANA
Pauperism a Disease.

Public pauperism Is really parasit-
ism. and 1t seems to be a modern dis
ease, due to the very ease with which
assistance can be obtained. Man, like
every other organism, takes the path
OF least resistance. Once relieved OF
the necessity for the struggle for exist
ence, he ceases to struggle, and his
power Of work atrophies. He then
lives at the expense of the organism
to which he Is attached, says a medical
authority. There is a large class CT
mon who derive good incomes from
railroad accidents which they skillful-
iy bring on. 1t is even reported that
men haye voluntarily suffered serious
injuries even to the point of losing
legs. and all for the sake of the pen
sion. Since Biblical times, and long
before, paupers existed in every civil
ization. but it is only within a century
that they have become a dreadful pub
lie burden; they were formerly more
apt to be hangers-on or retainers OF
the well-to-do. The appalling increase
of public paupers In England is now
being duplicated in America, and it is
real disease of society, disease due
to an abuse of natural laws. 1t follows
the rule Of every disease due to atypic
and abnormal cell growth of any kind.
From being benign, 1t can become
malignant and can injure the organism
(society) or even destroy 1t. 1t is a
very natural result of our necessity to
save every human life and prolong il
to its greatest length. 1t therefore be-
hooves physicians, who are more vital
ly interested In the matter than any
other class Of life savers, to look into
the cause Of the disease and the RENE
dies. 1t Is to the interest of every
worker to reduce the number he must
support in idleness, SO the problem
comes home to every citizen. 1t is
even found that large pension Is apt
to curse man instead of blessing him,
for he ceases the struggle for q living
and Is content with mere food and
lodging, Nothing is more pitiable than
the state OF men who are pensioDed
too soon. 1t is sociologic necessity
to render aid only when 1t is nesded
and compel men to keep up the strug-
gle for existence. The present trend
OF thought is In the direction Of reliev-
ing society Of its burdens and shifting
them to the shoulders OF the individual
families or relatives. In addition,
there Ia growing protest against the
and maudlin charity
which is thought to be responsible for
the dreadful Increase of pauperism.
