When Billy Sunday was holding a
revival at Galesburg, Illinois, there
was woman in the audience with a
babe that was very restless and fret
full. The mother tried in vain to
quiet it. The evangelist stopped his
discourse and looking straight at
the woman said: Lady. | have
noticed you for the last fifteen min
utes trying to put that baby to
sleep. In my opinion the child is
crying for board instead of lodg-

If you appreciate thetfaithful work
of the rural mail carrier you will
purchase postage stamps and attach
them to your letters until warm
weather at least. When a man has
twenty-five mile ride to make he
does not enjoy pulling off his mittens
at every box to pick up pennies.
Buy book of postage stamps at a
time and thus show thoughtfulness
for the carrier who must go over the
ronte, no matter what the weather,
says the Mapleton Enterprise.
New Ulm News: Attorney Nc
Donald of Minneapolis was in the
city Wednesday and settled for the
M. & St. L. railroad the claim of
administrator Fred. Pfander for the
death of Chas. Brandt, section fore
man on the road, who was killed in
the Fritsche ravine near the city,
nearly two years ago, by paying
81, 125 to attorney Albert Pfaender
for the estate. The case was very
doubtful one at best, and the rail-
road has made what may be con-
sidered liberal settlement. Will
linger, who was with Brandt at the
time and was severely injured, has
been paid $500 by the railroad COM
pany.
Candy News: Andrew Kerling met
sudden death at the mill Monday
afternoon in the presence of his
father who had stepped in to speak
to him. He had been employed as
wood saver for the past two months
and was one of the most faithful
and trusted workmen for the Van
Dusen Co. The horrible accident
took but a moment in its complete
execution. He was standing at his
post by the swinging board which
holds the stick of woodland thought
lessly reached over the shaft for
something when it caught a rag
hanging from his sleeve, stripped the
arm of clothing clear to the shoulder
and pulled his body quick against the
board, breaking his neck. The swift
ness of the speed of the shaft did not
even give him time to utter sound
and the deed was done before the
eyes of his parent in less time than he
realized the situation, death being
instantaneous. He was born at
Stacyville, Iowa, on Jan. 21st, 1880,
and came mere with his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Kerling, last Febru-
airy.
