were loud in their praise of him as a
farmer and a man.
Nelson had been in the best of
health, and ten days ago he made a
remark which throws some light on
the mystery. At that time he told his
wife: IF anything should happen to
me, be sure and be good to the chill
dren.' The parents had four children,
one girl and three boys, and they low
ed the little ones dearly.
The father used to get up early in
the morning and do the chores, and
the oldest boy, who Is eight, used to
run out when breakfast was ready
and tell his papa.
The wife and children are grief
stricken, and the entire neighborhood
Is In mourning. Nelson has lived in
the vicinity of Kenmare about six
years and was one of the leading far
mers in the neighborhood. He had
made success of his vocation, and
everyone supposed that his career was
the embodiment of happiness.

FINDS FATHER DEAD
Little Son Views Gruesome BODY Of
Father Hanging From JoiSt

Papa, papa, breakfast is ready
Mamma says So"
The little boys words brought no
response.
Papa, why don't you come; We'll
eat up the pan cakes if you don t
come"
Not receiving any reply, the little
son of L. G. Nelson, a prominent Ken
mare farmer, went into the barn last
Monday morning and there saw his
papa's body hanging from the joists.
The rope was tied tight around the
fathers neck, and the bullying eyes
showed that the man had met his
death by hanging.
Mamma, something is the matter
with papa. Hurry, hurry, hurry"
cried the boy as he ran into the house.
Mamma and three other children ran
with all their might, and the suspend
ed form of the father told the pathetic
story
Nelson was one of the most respect
ed farmers in Kenmare and the cause
of the suicide is mystery. He had
three eighties six miles north of Ken
mare, and his financial circumstances
were said to be excellent. Everything
around the farm was kept as neat as
rcould be, and the mans neighbors

HIS WHISPERS GO
Old Man SLAVES For First Time in
So Years as Christmas Present

A Christmas gift Of peek at the
face unshrouded by whiskers for the
first time in ffty-three years, was the
donation of Martin Overs of the little
village of Lodi, Ohio, to his wife and
grown children. He had the whiskers,
three and one-half feet long, about
which he had displayed great pride
for years, shaved off the day before
Christmas and went home at nightfall
with a great muffler wrapt about his
countenance to guard against the cold.
Mrs. Overs, though she had united
with her sons and daughter in be-
seeching her 70-year-old husband to
bare his face that she and their chill
dren might see it for the first time, al
most collapsed from fright as he
strobe into the house. She did not
recognize him till he spoke.
"Well, don't you like me now?" he
asked in his gruff voice. j.

youth, but no razor had touched his
cheeks since he was seventeen years
old. The whiskers covered his face
