WHILE Robert S. Ingers0ll is not
often quoted in a Home Circle De-
partment, and his teachings were
harmful to the home, yet he said
some OF the most beautiful things
ever spoken and said them the best.
He was On one occasion asked to give
two views in a symposium Of women
and in reply said: 1T takes hun
|dred men to make an encampment,
but one woman can make home. |
not only admire women as the most
beautiful object ever created, but I
reverence her as the redeemed glory
of humanity, the sanctuary of all vir-
tues, the pledge of al perfect quail
ties Of heart and head. It is because
women are SO much better than men
that THEN. faults are considered grea-
ter. The one thing in this world
that is cons tant, the only peak that
rises above all the clouds, the one
window in which the light burns for
eyer, the one star that darkness can
not quench. Is woman's love. It ri
ses to the greatest heights, It sinks to
the lowest depths, it forgives the
most cruel injuries. A woman S love
| is the perfume Of the heart This is
the real love that subdues the earth:
the love that has wrought all mira
|elcs Of art; that gives us music all
the way from the cradle song to the
grand closing symphony that bears
the soul away on wings Of fire. A
love that IS grea er than power. swee-
ter than ifeand stronger than Death

The writer would be the last man
on earth to knowingly say a word TO
hurt the feelings OF any Of its sub
scribers or citizens, especially at a
time when the dark winged messen-
ger Of death has brought sorrow to
the home, bet from the best OF mo-
tives we desire to call the attention
of our readers to the custom Of pub
fishing cards of thanks It is q
custom that has outgrown its pur-
pose. if it ever had one. When sick
ness and death comes 20 your home
it is only natural that your friends
and neighbors should do what they
could to assist you They would be
heatherns il they did not. They
know from the expression OF youn
lace that you are thankful aud deeply
appreciate all they do and it is not
necessary to rush Into print and tell
the world that your neighbors were
kind when you were in trouble. The
reading public are becoming tired of
the old stereotyped card OF thanks.
You can express to yolr friends, by
look or word your thankfulness in q
moro impressive manner tnan you
can in column of cold type.

THE misguided people who assert
that marriage as an institution is a
failure are generally gazing through
Ispectacies blurred by their own mis-
takes. They have made a failure per-
hap3 and it may be because of selfish

hearthstoncs to one that is cold and
cheerless "a thousand prizes to one

about prizes than blanks, Marriage

AN easy way to spoil an evening

Don't Stop Advertising,

Delta merchants had magnificent
holiday trade. They say in a chorus:
1T was immense" We have been
watching this trade and how noticeable
it has been that the best advertisers
have had the biggest business. We
noticed one non advertiser who put in a
good share of his time looking out of
the window. The merchant who goes
after business by means of sensible ad-
vertisng and who knows how to treat
and hold the customer after the adver-
tisement had done its work, is not
pessimist regarding the value of news
paper space.
There is but one way for the merchant
to go after business and that is by judi
cious advertising He cannot get in
buggy and drive around and ask the
people to trade with him. Such meth
cd would be silly and would lose rather
than gain trade. However. if he will
give his advertising careful thought and
attention. put as much brains into it AS
he does into any other department Of
his business. he will soon realize that It
is mighty implement which he can
use to the best possible advantage if he
will
Following the holidays there is al
ways tendency on the part Of country
merchants to let up on advertising. but
you will not find the city merchant do
ing anything of the kind. In cities.
Immediately after the first of January.
you find the big department stores ad-
vertising clearing out sales.'' They
push every vestigc of winter goods out
that 1t is possible to get rid Of. Thous-
ands Of people wait for these sales to
supply their winter wants and the big
advertisements are eagerly looked for
ward to.
The country merchant can profitably
emulate the example of his city COM
petitor. Put your winter goods on the
rack and make them 20. You can do
it and il is certainly better to unload
than to carry over. People will be
anxious to get the stuff IL you toll them
an inducemcnt will be made to get rid
Of it. Advertise: keep 1t up: don't let
up and you will find each months busi-
ness forging ahead of the same month
Of the year before.

DEATH OF FATHER HENDERSON
neer and An Esteemed
Citizen.

Robert H. Henderson was horn May l6,
1910, in Delaware county, N. Y. and
died at his home in Delta, Colo. Dec. "a,
1906, at the age Of SC years, seven
months and eight days.
He was Oldest of family of twelve
children. One brother and six sisters
still survive him. In his early childhood
his parents moved to Ohio, and from
there in 1857 they moved to Algons,
Iowa. They we're among the first set
tiers of that part of the state. They
knew of the trials of the early pioneers
and helped to redeem that part of the
wilderness and make a glorious future
for it. Then there were only slow go
ing teams to transport any goods or
mail for them. When the first mail
routes were established there, Jas
Henderson, Roberts father, had some
of the first contracts for carrying the
mail in that section. Robert, then a
young man, carried the mail the first
time across from Algona to Spirit Lake.
At later period he carried it from
Algona to Blue Earth City, MINI. At
that time there were very few houses
on the pralries. In winter they had to
mark their route across by willows
stuck in the snow at short distances so
they would not lose their way in the
severe storms.
He enlisted as volunteer on Nov. Is,
1861, as a private in Co. +. Seventh
Regiment. Iowa Cavalry. He served
three years and was in a number of Sc
we're engagements. He was honorably
discharged at Sioux City, Iowa, Nov. 49,
1864, at the expiration of his term of
service.
On Dec. 2G, 1864, he was married to
Nancy Norton. From this union there
we're born six children. One died in
infancy and the rest, Mrs. E. M. Gets,
Mrs. II. A. Richardson, Mrs. W. E.
Lamson and Edna E., residents of Delta,
and VIM. Henderson, of Algona, and
also his wife still are living. He spent
most of his life, except while in the
army, at and near Algona until four
years ago when he came to Delta to
make his home. He was quiet, unas-
suming man of sterling character and
highly esteemed by all who knew him.
His wife tor the past two weeks has
been seriously Ill with pneu monia and
at present writing is slowly recovering.
The funeral was held at their home
on Wednesday, December 26th. on the
42nd. anniversary of his marriage.
