CHEAPER POSTAGE
TO OLD COUNTRY.

Two important changes in postal
regulations affecting foreign went
mail into effect Oct. |. Letter writer's
can now send twice as large a letter
to their friends abroad for the same
price as they could before. They
may also purchase return postage
coupons which will be redeemed in
any one of ffty-four countries of the
world for stamps of sufficient value
TO send letter to America. The
postage rate is reduced from cents
for a half ounce to 5 cents for an
ounce. Each additional half ounce
will cost cents instead of S cents.
This was agreed to by the countries
in the Universal Postal Union which
met in Rome last May. The return
postage coupon is in reality an in
ternational money of small denomin-
alton. It is exchangeable in other
countries for a stamp of value
equivalent to the coin paid for it in
the country of purchase. These will
be sold in every country and redeem
ed in any country. The interna-
tional clearing house will be at
Berne. Switzerland.

A TOO TRUE STORY.

In the October number of the
Circle there is story by Hamlin
Garland that finds it's counterpart in
nearly every community. A young
couple had settled on the bleak
Dakota prairies and in the course of
years had built up fairly comfort
able home. For years they lived in
a shack no bigger than street car,
but rooms were added as the family
increased. The trees which the
husband planted grew slowly but
they grew, and we're at last furnish
ing both shade and shelter. A
school house had arisen at place
where the roads crossed. neighbors
had come to make life more con-
genial, and a little town had
sprung up not far away in which
they could do their trading, and
serve as link connecting them with
the great busy world. All these i'm
provements made life more congenial
and worth the living. But in spite
OF all these softenings of Dakota life
the husband had made a trip south
and returned home with the Okla
homa fever. He was determined to
move to that wonderful land-a land
of perpetual summer. The wife had
no desire to move and begin pioneer
life over again, now that she was GET
ting old and the children needed the
school and the church that had been
established i'll their little communi-
ty-yet she would follow her
husband. She only hoped the new
home in the south land would be as
fair as the husband had pictured to
her. They moved. Again they
found themselves out upon the lone
ly prairie as they had twenty years
before, and IN a low board shanty
by muddy stream. When she saw
Che new home, the wife broke down
and sobbed. The husband consoled
her saying they would soon build a
larger house. Suffering with loneli-
ness and the intense heat, the
troubles of the family we're added to
by the sickness of their little girl.
In order to save the baby's life the
mother makes long trip to town to
see the doctor. Here the story,
which is continued, leaves them.
In reading this first part, we could
not help thinking how true it is to
life. How many farmers right here
in Marshall County have not endur-
ed all the hardships of pioneer life
and just as they have gotten in COM
Portable circumstances and could en-
JOY life have they resolved to sell out
and remove to Canada or some other
out of the way place to begin anew.
Some people are never satisfied un-
less they can live on the outskirts Of
settlement and civilization. But life
is short, and it is enough for a
family to build up one home and
develop one farm in their life time.

ENDS LIFE
BY SUICIDE
Fred L. johnson, of Town OF
Comstock, is another victim of
the Suicide Mania.

Fred L. Johnson we'll to-do farm
er in town of Comstock ended his
life by the rope route on Wednesday
night last week without any apparent
cause whatever, except that he must
have been tired of life He had
been working at threshing for one
of his neighbors during the day. and
towards evening the machine, owned
by William Turnlund was, moved on
to his farm in order to commence
work there the following day. Mr..
johnson left his home before night
fall saying that he was going over to
one of his neighbors to get him to
help thresh in the morning. He did
not return home in the evening, but
his family was not alarmed, thinking
that he had concluded to stay at the
neighbor's house over night. as it was
very dark and being near sighted
they knew he could not very we'll
walk home then. When he did not
put in his appearance in the morn
ing. his folks thought that he had
gone to another neighbor farther
away but when they learned he had
not been there either, they began to
suspect that something was wrong.
At noon the whole threshing crew
commenced a search for him. and
after little while found him in a
poplar grove short distance from
his home, his body hanging in a
tree from a moose made of binding
twine, a very shocking find. Word
was sent Immediately to the county
authorities and on Thursday evening
sheriff Forsberg and coroner Baker
drove out to the johnson farm.
AS twas plain case of suicide it
was not deemed necessary to hold an
inquest. Neither his family nor
any of his neighbors can throw
any light on Mr.. Johnson's rash act.
His domestic relations are said to
have been pleasant and he was IN
easy financial circumstances, the
owner of 800 acres of land, and other
farm property, all practically paid
for, and besides had money in the
bank. He was not drinking man,
and his habits in life were simple.
That he should want to bring this
great sorrow upon his wife and chill
dren is hard to understand. The Oldest
son, Who is full grown, and has been
out west. had recently returned home
at the father solicitation to help
work the farm. All the neighbors
were greatly shocked to learn of Mr..
Johnson's death in this horried,
cowardly and unexpected manner.
No one can account for it in any
way. It may have been due to over
work, or worry over his worldly
possessions, or to some illness which
he did not disclose, or some other
cause that will always remain a
mystery. He was 81 years old, and
have lived in Comstock during the
past Is years or more.
