LOOK UP, NOT DOWN.
,INn,n,UnIcntcdl

Life to some is full of sorrow, Palf ts real, half they borrow, Full of rocks and fuIl of ledgcs, Corners sharp and cutting edges Though the Joy bells may Inc ringing, Not a song you,ll hear them singing, Seeing naycr makes them wise Lolling out from doWncaat eyes All In vain tho sun is shining Waters sparslne blossoms twnns They but sco through these same sor
 rows,
 Sad today and worse tomorrow, See tho weeds among the clover
 Everything and anything
 But the gold the sunbeams bring Drinking from the bitter fountain, To your mole hill seems a mountain, Drops of dew and drops of rain
 swell into the mighty main. All in vain tho blessings shower, Mnd the mcrclcs fall with power, Gathering chaff yo tread the wheat, Rich and royal at your feet Let it not hc so, my neighbour Look up, as you love and labor, Not for one alone woes yials Every man has cares and trials, Joy and pain are linked together Like the fair and cloudy weather. May wc have, oh let us pray
 Faith and patience for today

FEVER AND LOCKJAW GERMS
Are Said to Have been Used by an
Omaha Doctor in Attempts
to Suicide.

Omaha, NeD.-In connection with
the murder or suicide of DR.. Frederick
Rustin, prominent surgeon who was
found dead on his porch in Omaha
last week, the Omaha World-Herald
prints story of alleged former at
tempts of DR.. Rustin to commit sui
eide.
The World-Herald says: "Dr. Rust
in had before attempted to commit
suicide in manner so cunningly de-
vised as to avoid the appearance of
suicide and which was so novel and
unique in the method employed that
it is probably without a parallel in
suicidal annals.
"Dr. Rustin inoculated himself with
the bacilli of typhoid fever for the
purpose of taking his own life, was
stricken with the fever and was so
near dead that the attending physi-
clans despaired of his life.
1T is also stated that at that time
he inoculated himself with the germs
of tetanus, or lockjaw, as well, but
the effects of this were overcome by
the typhoid"

MILLIONS LOST
BY FOREST FIRES
TOWN OF CHISHOLM, MIMI, 10
ALMOST COMPLETELY
DESTROYED.
THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS.
One of the Most Flourshing Towns on
Mesaba Iron Range Is Reduced
to Ashes-only IL Build
ings Were Saved.

Duluth, MINI. After destroying
the town of Chisholm on the Mesaba
range and burning over thousands of
acres in ST. Louis, Carleton and Itasca
counties in Minnesota and in Douglass
county, Wisconsin, the many forest
regions were checked Sunday. If the
wind does not spring up again. it is
not likely that further damage will re-
suit.
A strong wind, which had driven the
flames before it in many timbered and
agricultural townships subsided Sun
day and the thousands of homeless
people took stock of their belongings
and prepared to rebuild.
The subsiding of the wind enabled
the inhabitants OF Buhl and Nashwauk
to save those towns. Several build
ings at the edge of Nashwauk were
burned, but by working all night 1000
citizens prevented the flames from
sweeping over the village The town
was surrounded by wall of fire and
it's escape from obliteration was re-
markable. There is little timber ad-
jacent to Buhl, and although forest
fires surrounded the village the 600 in
habitants had only to extinguish the
incipient blazes started by falling
brands to protect the village.
Chisholm presents a scene of ruin
and desolation. Blackened and smoul-
dering piles of charred wood, little
heaps of gray ashes stirred by the
breeze, scorched skeletons of brick
and mortar, all canopied with a dense
pail of smoke. comprise what was one
of the most flourishing towns on the
great Mesaba iron range. The only
remaining buildings are the new $685.
900 high school, a grade school, a
Catholic church, the Italian church and
a dozen dwellings in the southernmost
part of town. These were saved by
few heroic fire fighters who stuck to
their posts in the face of the cyclonic
onslaught of flames and smoke.
The damage to real property is es-
timated at $1,000,OOO and that to per.
sonal property at $750,00O. Insurance
carried by Chisholm merchants was
about $500,000.
Hibbing, five miles west of CHS
holm, afforded accommodations to
about 5000 refugees from Chisholm
last night.
The Duluth, Mesaba G Northern
railroad started a car of tents from
Duluth for Hibbing Sunday on receipt
of message from Mayor Weirick.
There are many destitute persons, es-
pecially among the miners. Many men
are without funds to buy a meal.
Wrenshall, 600 inhabitants, 35 miles
northwest of Duluth, is threatened by
fire and the entire population is fight
ing it. The flames are within a mile
of the city.
