CALLED HOME.

Alfred M. Madsen was born in
Christiania, Norway, in 1850 and first
visited this country in 1869. He was
married here and returning with his
bride to Norway in 1873. His wife
lived but few years after his return
to his native country and having
nothing to keep him there returned to
this country in 1883 with three small
children and located at Devils Lake,
n. D. He was again married and
with his family moved to this city,
sixteen years ago.
He entered the general merchandise
business here and was continually at
the same stand up to a year ago.
Noting the business possibilities of
the western towns he decided to leave
here and located at Pingree, N. d.,
where he resided up to the time of his
death. Besides his wife Mr.. Madsen
leaves ten children. One dead, two
in Seattle, Wash, and the rest
residing at their home in Pingree.
Mr.. Madsen had been i'll with heart
trouble at odd intervals since New
Years. Up to two weeks previous to
his death he grew steadily worse and
the three or four days before he passed
away his sufferings were intense
Mr.. Madsen was all that Christian
gentleman could be. He placed his
God before all else and set an example
while on earth that he will need never
repent of while in heaven.
He died as he had lived-in the
arms of Jesus.
The people of Sank Centre extend
their sincerest sympathy to the
bereaved ones.
Why should we view Death as a
grim foe,
Feasting on human life and human
woe?
Does not the pain, the agony, the
strife,
The fear, the parting, belong to life?
IT'S Death that bids Times fitful
struggle cease,
And lays upon the brow the seal of
peace,
That sacred seal, which wrong, or
fear, or pain,
Remorse or grief, shall never break
again.
l.o! the freed spirit! Who shall say
how fair,
How glorious it's eternal mansions
are!
God takes our loved ones to a home
of rest,
And asks US to believe "He knoweth

To Tell Next Years Weather,

To predict weather year in ad-
vance is the latest feat that scien-
lists are trying to accomplish. The
Technical World Magazine contains
an article by John Elfreth Watkins,
in which he tells of the latest ad-
vances in weather forecastings and
of the new United States astrOphysi-
cal laboratory in Washington.
Variations of the heat radiation of
the sun are the basis for the new
science of long distance weather pre-
| dictions, and special instruments
have been devised to meet the re-
quirements of this special work. One
of the most interesting of these in
struments is the bolometer, which
will detect variations in temperature
of the millionth Fart of a degree
Through the work of this branch of
the weather bureau the government
hopes to be able to tell the farmer
whether or not he will have a wet
dry, warm or cold season, so that he
may regulate his crops accordingly
The aims and methods of this new
science are given q popular and inter
esting presentation and the article is
well illustrated.

after you same as if you was poor
passes my understanding altogether.
Here l am a-working and a-slaving
from five in the morning till late at
night, all to keep you and your place
respectable, and no sooner have l got
it all tidy and begin to think / can

comes, as regular as if you done it on

make me lose my temper that you
may go away and talk about it. But
you won't get what you want John
Carter, l can tell you; and you can
put that in your pipe and smoke it.
1 haven't scrubbed your house through
and through for the last twenty years
without learning something, and it
would be very hard if l hadn't got the
length of your foot by this time. Do
you think l didn't know that so soon
as ever I'd got the place looking bit
clean you would come a-tramping
it over with all the dirt you could find.
What do you want to come here for?"
John raised his head for the first
time to speak.
you didn't want nothing. l know
that as well as you; if you'd a-wanted
anything I wouldn't have minded. I'm
not one who keeps their place for or
nament and never allow anybody to
walk over it after tbs clean, as some
people does; but I do hold that it
shouldn't be made dirty wilful, just
for aggravation, and / shouldn't call
myself man if had to stoop to such
ways. If let the place go and didn't
keep it clean I know who'd be the
first to run and tell the neighbors that
his wife never did nothing, but left
her place like pig-sty. Don't stand
there like great gawk" stamping
her foot at him-"you can't undo what
you've done. If you'd got the sense
for it I'd make you go down upon

"WH|SKEY" COLD CURES
Danger Of using Alcoholic Mixtures
or Coal Tar Tablets.

Laying aside all moral objections
against filling up the system with
whiskey or drugs because one has a
cough or cold, the dangerous physical
effects should be sufficient to keep one
from using these strong medicines.
A thoroughly scientific way to treat
a cough and cold as we'll as a sensible
method is to breathe Hyomei through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit. The first breath
of its healing medication relieves the
irritation, and its continued use soon
effects thorough cure.
The best people in Sank Centre
always keep Hyomei in the house
during the winter months, and at
the first symptoms of cold or bron-
clial troubles, use the remedy, and
prevent serious and lasting illness.
The guarantee that Hanson & Emer.
son give with every Hyomei outfit
should convince you of its curative
powers. A complete Hyomei outfit
costs but 81 90, extra bottles if needed,
Soc, and Hanson & Emerson guarantee
to refund the money if it does not
give satisfaction.

Jonn Carter stood at his own door
with a coil of rope in his hand and an
expression of fear on his face. His
wife was within, scrubbing; she had
cleaned her doorstep and was just
scrubbing the last square yard of her
kitchen. A shadow across the broad
patch of sunshine which fell on the
floor made her look up. When she
saw her husband standing there with
| muddy boots on her clean doorstep
her ire was reused, and quickly found
voice.
why, john, she cried in an in
jured argumentative tone, what are
you doing there right on my clean
step? Get off, quick. Whyever
couldn't you have stood outside and
called into me what you wanted, or
have took off your boots and come in
in your stocking feet, same as I've
got to myself at the cost of catching
cold"-with some asperity- rather
than dirty up the place as soon as ever
I've got it cleaned?'
John stepped back and looked down
with fear and sorrow at the havoc he
had caused On the freshly scrubbed
floor were two large muddy foot
marks and the trail of dirty
rope. He had hurried up from
the pond where he had gone to
water the horses, and the end
Of the wet rope had trailed all the
way through the white dust. His wife
saw the mark too, end the first NUT
terings of the storm passed without
single break into the second stage,
growing rapidly more pronounced.
"Of course your own great foot
marks wasn't enough, but you must
try how you can make more work for
me. / dunno'-l,er wrath working to

such lines was opened in 1901, and
since that time quite number OF

the most part comparatively short.
One of the longest lines is that OF
the Charbonnieres-les-Bi nius, near Ly-

tor cars of a seating capacity or
3S passengers each. A line is also
worked between the towns of Neu-

line is worked regularly in connec-
ton with an industrial center in the
neighborhood of Wurzen, Germany,
over which some 80 wagons are taken
either way daily.

Fruit Cellar In Winter.-Where the
fruit is stored should be kept cool.
During the day the windows should
DE opened to let in food of cold air,
and they should then be closed. This
cold air will remain over night at a
temperature sufficiently low to pre-
vent the fruit decaying. This atten-
ton win make the cellar good stor.
age place for such fruits as have the
natural quality of keeping well under
ordinary conditions. The windows
should not be SO made that they can
not be easily opened and shut. A lit
tie attention to the windows and doors
will enable the fruit-owner to store
and keep apples two or three months
longer than he otherwise would be
able to do 20.
