with an unconsciously tragic gesture
waved his arm at the partition. "since

awake to the fact that it had divided
their lives.
The former Mrs. Sands didn't seen
to mind much.
About a hundred feet below their
cabin the partners built one for her
much more pretentious than their
own. They devoted great time and
care to its fitting-and wrought well.
And with her went the partition from
the older home-a menace destroyed.
Then they dropped back as nearly as
possible into the old life and tried to
readjust themselves. They invariably
passed a portion of the evening with
her and, as beftted gentlemen,
worked for her happiness. 1t is doubt
full if eve she had been as happy. !,
One day she died. They gently laid
her away where she had wished, up
on the hillside back of the garden.
where the little cross they afterward
erected could always look down upon
them in loving remembrance and
gratitude for giving her the happiest
days she had W known.
The flowers of spring snuggled
round her resting-place, nor did they
lack care in their n~urturing, for each
night two loving old men carried wa
ter for their replenishing and
w%renched away vagrant weeds.
1t wal on the anniversary Of her
death that they made the last oblitera-
ton. No n knows whether they had
ever discussed it in words. It was as
evening-the long, quiet evening
came that together they walked to the
cabin built for her, and occupied by
none but her, and to It applied the

said Ezra, with = great, gentle. long

Yes, kin see down Jest the way

wistfully answering voice, softly.

And they silently entered their
home, for the first time in their lives
holding each Others hand. The door
closed behind them. the embers died
out, and the great sheltering Father
Of Night stretched shielding palms
over the cabin. the little cross on the
hill, and all those things which
looked jest as they uster."

Funeral of Suicide.

The funeral of Ole Grindahl was
held this afternoon from the under
taking parlors of Lemmer & Gross at
the expense Of the county. Grindahl
committed suicide by cutting his
throat at Spirit Lake something like
three weeks ago, and since then he
has been held at the undertaking par
lors while Mr. Lemmer has been en-
deavoring to locate relatives of the
suicide.
He succeeded in locating a brother
of the suicide, John Grindahl at Gal
chut, North Dakota. From this broth
er it is learned that Grindahl carried
life insurance to the amount of
$4,000 with an insurance company in
Norway.
Grlndahl came to Spirit Lake last
summer from Minnesota. He killed
himself while i'll a fit of dependency.

It is asserted by some naturalists
that the puma, the second largest Of
the big cats of South America, neither
feared man nor regarded human be-
ings as its prey, but on the contrary
sought their society. The following
anecdOte from "Animal Artisans" by
Mr. G. ]. Cornish, long a resident OF
British Guiana, supports the belief
that the puma seeks the society or
man instead Of attacking or fearing
him.
When making an expedition up one
Of the large rivers in a steam launch
our friend gave a passage to an elder
ly Cornish miner who was anxious to
reach the gold fields. Not wishing to
intrude upon his hosts, he did not
sleep on board the launch, but always
swung his hammock between two trees
ON shore. As climbing into a high
slung hammock is not easy, he usually
fastened it rather low, and his weight
probably brought 1t to within three
feet of the ground at the bottom Of the
curve. One morning, being asked how
he had slept, he complained that 1.-THE
frogs had made such a noise under
meath his hammock that they had kept
him awake"
Some Indians of the crew who were
folding, up the hammock laughed a
good deal when they heard this, and
being asked the reason, said, still
laughing, "Oh, tiger sleep with old
man last nightw They had found IN.
der the hammock the marks Of where
a puma had lain. The noise which
had kept the occupier Of the hammock
awake was the purring Of the puma,
pleased at occupying the next berth
below q man.

Story Of Parting Clasp BY One Who

They had been talking about yari-
GUS ways Of shaking hands and had
pretty well gone over the ground Gov
cred by all the philOsophic writings on
handshakes when one of the men In
the group said:
The most expressive handshake
ever saw was given by one man to
another. There was no tie Of kinship
between them.
Each was about forty. Both were
In perfect health. One had the pros
poets Of many years Of life. The other
was to die within a minute, and the
man whose hand he held was to kill
him.
ut seemed to me then that could
read the meaning Of the handshake
given by the man about to die to the
man about to kill him. 1t seemed to
say: You are a good man, and like
you. thank you for many acts Of
kindness and especially for this friend

his own. There was volume Of mean
ing in that motion.
eft seemed to say that there were
the morrow's sunrise and many more
for the man whose hand he was re-
leasing. but for him a few moments
more of life, and then 1t seemed to
say that there was an age Of human
companionship in every instant during
which the two hands touched.
''It seemed to say that when the
clasp was broken he was forever cut
of from the living and was as one
dead. And many other things 1t seem
ed to say that cannot translate into
words.
within a few seconds one of the
men gave the signal that ended the
life of the other.
''It was a case," the story teller con.
tinued, "of the hanging Of a man In
Connecticut for murder. While under
the influence Of liquor with other men
he had dealt one of them a blow that
resulted in his death.
1.-THE condemned man was not by
nature or inclination a criminal. He
had never been arrested before he was
taken into custody for murder.
1.-THE sheriff, who shook hands with
him on the gallows just before the
drop fell, had a genuine liking fol
him. He offered the condemned mar
the usual merciful portion Of liquor
before the execution, but the man re
fused 1t.

Old Cross-ROads.

Captious critics carp upon the de-
cadence of the popular taste of the
drama, but a careful analysis will
show that only the good survive.
Farce, comedy, vaudeville and bur-
lesque may have been found to earn
the more enduring affections in the
heart of the major portion of that
large class of theater partrons, who
frequent the playhouse for amuse-
ment as well as instruction.
Such a play is AT The Old Cross
Roads" which will be presented here
on Friday evening, Jan. "a, at the
Auditorium in precisely the same
manner that it was presented at the
Grand opera house, N. Y. city, where
it scored a remarkable hit and sue
ceeded in packing the big playhouse
nightly during its three engagements.
1t is very taking story of south
ern life and the romance was written
around an actual occurrence. Bright
comedy is we'll blended with the trag-
ic story of the play. The company
which is this year presenting the play
is conceded to be the best which has
ever been seen in the piece, and con-
tains many well known and well Xix
ed people, the cast numbering 20. The
scenery for the production has been
entirely rebuilt this season.
