Julia Ward Howe, with her husband,
DR.. Samuel Gridley Howe, the eminent
phiIanthropist who died in 1876, worked
earnestly against slavery, becoming a
leader in the agitation carried on through
out New England. After the slavery
question was settled by the civil war
Mrs. Howe took a prominent part in the
work for woman suffrage, prison reform

where and will always live. Among her
many works may be mentioned Passion

are also famous, the best known of them
being Maud Howe Elliott and Laura
Richards The intimacy of her associa-
tons with the great writer's and thinkers
of the last half century is shown by the

St. Tammany farmer., 1907-08-03

Yankee serving man, recently hired,
exclaimed, Il won't stay to see those
people dance themselves to hell!"
and rushed wildly from the house,
leaving the refreshments to take care
of themselves.
Years passed in which the butter
fly hunt of fashion began to invade
our quiet, but not yet in. aggressive
numbers. A summer came which
brought Bret Harte, DR.. Holland,
James Parton and Fanny Fern, Col.
r. w. Higginson and Helen Hunt to
the lovely seaside resort. Those con-
genial spirits soon formed a habit of
coming together. We enjoyed many
sails across the bay and chowder
cooked on the sands of Jamestown,
which then boasted few houses and
only one small tavern. Our evenings
we're enlivened by readings, parlor
dramas, charades and delightful con-
versation. The enchanting season
came to an end all too quickly, never
to repeat itself, but never wholly to
perish from the memories of those
whom it had united in friendly in
tercourse.

Introduction Of Substitutes, the
Score 5 to a.

From Saturdays Daily.
Colonel c. w. Neff returned to Lake
Crystal last evening wearing a smile
that wouldn't come off. His ball team
had defeated the Young Mems Chris
tian association club. That was all.
In spite of the fact that the Y.
NJ. e. a. boys were seriously handi-
capped by having to substitute four
men, they nearly won out from Lake
Crystal. Sheldon pitched far from his
usual form, while Osgood covered his
slab in pretty good style for the
visitors, using well controlled spit
ball" with telling effect.
The home boys started out well,
running up four scores in the first
two innings, but failed to keep up
the good work. Lake Crystal scored
in the third and fourth, chased two
more over the plate in the sixth, and
won in the ninth on MeixelPs three
Dagger to deep center. Score 5 to 4.
Murphy distinguished himself in the
fifth by making a long sprint from
center to right field catching out
Johnson on long fly.
A good sized crowd attended the
game and at the gates showed it's APP
probation quite substantially, of the
work the home boys have been do
ing this summer. Several loyal gen.
tlemen handed over dollars to the
IL
boys"
The next game with Lake Crystal
will probably be played at Lake Crys-
tai Monday.

Masgatt of Winnebago was seen, and

when will grandpa's son shine on the

WOMAN is AFRAID OF HIM
Christian Peterson Must Remain In
Jail at ST. Peter.

st. Peter, Sept. 4.-Christian Peter
son, one of the leading figures in ST
Peters witchcraft case last March
still has two weeks of his six months
sentence to serve. He was sent to Jail
to keep the peace and to prevent him
from assaulting woman living on an
adjoining farm, and the summer ht
has spent with Sheriff August Olson
has improved his condition greatly.
When first imprisoned he was un-
kempt and ill-nourished, but rest and
pure food have made him stronger
both physically and mentally, and he
has parted company with few of his
sixteenth century ideas. He will not
concede that the woman who caused
all his trouble is not, to some extent
in league with evil spirits and endow-
ed with supernatural powers, but he
admits that some of the accusations
brought against her must have been
purely imaginary.
As the time approaches for Peter
son to be released, the complaining
witness has shown some uneasiness
She fears that the prisoner will searcl
for and harm her as soon as he il
discharged. and she has asked that he
be put under bonds for another period
of six months.

The Omaha train at one O'Clock
yesterday afternoon brought to the
city Charles Wondlant, and his nine
year old daughter, Clara, who live
between Truman and st. James. The
girl had a bad bullet wound in her
of 22-calibre rifle in the hands of
older sister yesterday morning at their
home. The day before their brother
had been out shooting with the rifle,
and on their return had very careless
ly left it loaded in the hall. The sis
ters were afraid of it and the older
one picked it up to put it away, and
while it was in her hands it was dis
charged, and the bullet entered the
left side of Clara's neck, passing close
to the blood vessels, but not injuring
them. 1t entered from in front and
was DETECTED by the shoulder blade
downward until arrested at the lower
angle of the shoulder blade
The little girl was hastily brought
to this city, and upon her arrival was
examined by the aid of an eX-ray ma
chine and the bullet was located, but
it was so imbedded that it was
thought best not to try to remove it
and it is not thought that the pres
ence of the bullet will give any trou,
BILE. The wound was dressed and
drainage established and the girl was
taken to Emmanuel hospital, where
she will have to remain couple OF
weeks.
