TWO GooD-NATuRED MEN.
 .-.s Neither Lost His Temper, But the Pas sengers Became Peevish.

From the New York American.
 T am the most even-tempered man alive, never get mad"
 Nothing ever makes me lose my tenn per either. I might feel ruffled, but 1 would just smile and never show it."
 I'll bet box of cigars I can make you mad before you can rattle me-"
 It's a go''
 This conversation, which had taken place between A. E. Hobson and E. I. Sells, passengers on the steamship Lusi- tania as that vessel was leaving Queens town, was the cause of the sleepy looks and tired actions of score of second cabin passengers when the Cunard liner reached her dock yesterday.
 In their efforts to make each other angry Hobson and Sells played practical jokes on each other during the entire voyage. Their neighbors in adjoining cabins were innocent victims of the merry feud.
 On the first night Hobson tied ropes To Sells bedding, and after the latter had retired, pulled them from under him. at the same time upsetting a convenient bucket of water Sells found himself the center of an interested group whom Hob, son had invited to watch the proceedings.
 On the second night Sells found him self locked out of the cabin. He could AAODDOf- OON%@AOf but all efforts to awaken the sleeper seemingly failed. He nearly got me then" said Sells, but I determined 1 wouldn't let him sleep I made an awful row, but still the snores continued. Final ly the steward threatened to put me In irons if l did not stop pounding on the door, and I was obliged to spend the night In chair in the smoking room.
 The next night Sells locked Hobson out but the latter secured bottle of am monia and poured it through the kew hole. This routed Sells. who emerged nearly choked to death. The stateroom was uninhabitable for the rest of the night, and both men were obliged to rest i chairs in the saloon
 Each continued his efforts to anger the other for the succeeding nights without success and when the ship docked Hoh- son was obliged to admit he had lost hls wager. Although neither Sells nor Hoh. son was mad, the other passengers were. and said so to anybody who would listen to them.

WOMAN DOCTOR

 Her Boy SHE PLEADS POVERTY The Lad, However, Is Finally Taken Home In Carriage With His Two Private Nurses In Grand
 Style.
 
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
 Well have to arrange to be here late today, Miss Gray" said the woman doc tor in the dispensary to the nurse. Such pathetic looking womarf came in yester- day with her little boy! He needs an operation-just a minor one--but it ought to be done at once, and the surgical clin- les are full for three weeks I told her we could attend to him after regular hours today. I'm sorry to keep you so late again, but when you see how mis- erable she looks, you'll want to help her D
 When the nurse saw the woman in her shabby black, dejectedly sitting in a cor ner, a heavy boy of across her lap she banished all regrets for her lost hour S rest before evening tasks. As they pre- pared the bowling youngster the parent lowered around anxiously.
 'Hes all I have left" she said to the doctor, land I couldn't have anything happen to him--not now!' She wiped her eyes on suspiciously fine handkerchief
 Poor thing, she has seen better times," said the doctor to herself. .I knew she was out of the ordinary run of dspen- sary patients"
 You can't know how grateful I am to you, doctor" said the woman, 'I said to myself when I saw you that you had a tender heart, and I heard the head sur- geon say to visitor that you were the most capable dispensary physician he had ever seen. So I knew you would take good care of my son. If you only knew tine money I've spent on doctors!''
 Tt is for such as you that dispensaries are founded" replied the doctor. We are busy every hour in the day, but the only time we begrudge service is when we find the patients well able to pay a physicians fee"
 The woman's answer was lost to the doctor, who became engrossed in the te- dious, difficult work. She wondered to herself why this particular operation was called @ minor" one The afternoon was hot, the childs poor physique made con stant watching necessary, and the nurse 2 nd the doctor were worn with the past three weeks of IS hours a day work. Finally the doctor strengthened up.
 "It's all over,' she said to the mother. ''Now he Is waking. You can take him home soon, and bring him back day after tomorrow for a fresh dressing. Miss Gray and I will go over to dinner. It Is far past time, but we may get a cold bite. Then I'll look in on you and the boy in about 15 minutes, if you'd feel more comfortable about it.
 You're not gclng now?" exclaimed the mother. "Oh, do stay, doctor! Suppose he should need anything; I am perfectly helpless
 He's all right began the doctor. firmly. Hes thoroughly awake, and if yiu leave him lying for half an hour he will be ready to go home Then the wo- mans reproachful manner disarmed her "Go to dinner, Miss Gray" she finished. 'I'll stay here"
 After all,'' she said to herself, "wo-

don't you think you ought to save the money? He doesn't need to be taken home that way, and think what neces- sities the money would buy!"
 'Oh, it won't cost me anything" said the woman, calmly: "Ill just phone my man to call for us.'
 The doctor thought that she meant her husband would call, though the woman had intimated that she was ;l widow, so she was utterly unprepared for the liveried coachman and the white-capped maid who appeared pres ently. The two servants managed to carry out the kicking boy, while the mother followed, admonishing them to be careful, as she had no doubt the dear child was suffering greatly. The astonished doctor went with them to the door, in front of which stood Q smart brougham.
 Good afternoon,'' called back the mother. as she drove off. Thank you very much.''
 The doctor sank down on the top step. She knew l had a tender heart" she reminded herself. Tn other words, she saw that I was easy"

men are sentimental creatures. Now, l know she doesn't need me. l am losing my last chance to get anything eatable tonight. I'll not be so careful to tomor- rows patients as l would if l went and yet stay.''
 The child fretted and cried to go home. He insisted that he would not lie down. His mother coaxed him, but he only wept more freely, and demanded to be taken away. Finally. it grew too much for the doctors tired nerves.
 What that child needs,' she said, lis a good spanking"
 "Oh, doctorl How cruel! Why, I have never even allowed him to hear a cross word in his life, and much less to bear punishment. Wait until you have chil- dren of your own, my dear young lady, ond then you will understand what only mothers heart can feel. He was his dear fathers idol and he's all I have left Now" turning to the boy, "be quiet for 10 minutes longer and mother will get you a pony tomorrowr'
 The child became more and more un- manageable. Don't you think I could take him home if we drove?" asked the mother.
 Why, yes" said the doctor. "But

 The Avondale public library building is the gift of Andrew Carnegie to the town of Avondale and will cost with the furnishings complete the sum of $10000. The town of Avondale made an appro- priation of 5000 per annum to pay for maintaining the same. and the eontnua- tion of this appropriation is provided for by the setting aside of certain portion of the annual revenues for that purpose

Citizens will be called upon in the near future to give to this cause such sum as they feel able to give and funds are being received by either w R. Starbuck, president. or c. s. Price, secretary.

men and terror of women, the cloud
that shadows the faces of children,
the demon that has dug more graves
and sent more souls unsaved to judg-
ment than all pestilences that have
wasted life since God sent the
plaques to Egypt. and all the wars
since Joshua stood before Jericho.
But even if the women's knowl-
edge is limited and their judgment
faulty, no one would dare to charge
Abraham Lincoln with like feelings,
so hear what he said about legaliz-
ing the sale of liquor. Law is not
for the protection of evil; law is for
the protection, conservation and ex-
tension of right things right
conduct, not for the protection of
evil and wrong doing, Never at
tempt to license the evil.
Lincoln also said, when speaking
of prohibition amendment then
before the Illinois legislature, 'The
saloon and the liquor traffic have
defenders no defense. This
legalized liquor traffic, as carried on
in the saloons and grog-shops, is the
tragedy of civilization. Good citi-
zenship demands and requires that
what is evil should not only be de-
tected but destroyed. The saloon
has proven itself to be the greatest
foe, the most blighting curse of our
modern civilization and this is the
reason why we should be up in arms
against it. 1t is nothing more or
less than a privileged malefactor. y
These quotations are given by one
of St. Louis most respected citizens.
Col. j. B. Merwin, a trusted friend
of Lincoln's. He also gives Lincoln s
last words on the subject which were
uttered the day before his assassin
alton, they were: After reconstruc-
ton. the next great question is to
overthrow the liquor traffic"
| Had the great presidents life
been prolonged, the liquor traffic
might have been overthrown ere
this. His life was cut short. and
the men of this generation will, il
seems. have the honor of freeing the
cruel bondage of the liquor traffic,
and the men of Redwood Falls car
surely be depended upon to emanci.

Had to Get Up.

Many years ago DR.. Oscar Blumen-
thai, the director of the LEASING the
alter in Berlin, had an unpleasant ex-
perience of the vigilance with which
the authorities carried out their du.
ties.
In his comedy, the "Orient REESE"
one of the characters was afflicted with
a mother-in-law of the most objec-
tionable kind. This lady died and. ac-
cording to the belief of her relatives,
went to heaven. The prospect of a
fresh acquaintance with his dreaded
mother-in-law so terrified her son-in-
law that he announced that if this
should be his fate when the resur-
rection comes | shan't get up"
This was sufficient for the authori-
ties. Twenty-four hours after the pro-
duction of the piece an ominous blue
envelope arrived at the Leasing the
alter containing peremptory order
from the president of police that the
lines in question should be immediate
~ suppressed las being calculated to
wound the religious feelings of the
liegeS."

pate their own promising city from

1t is reported that one of the
young men about Redwood Falls hit
upon a scheme to make some easy
money out of the elevator compa-
MES. He would draw the wheat
from the elevator into the hopper
about midday and claim to the ele-
yator man that he had delivered it
at noon during the absence Of the
party in charge. The scheme worked
successfully few times and the
young fellow grew little bolder,
with the result that he was caught,
and with the help of his family set
tied up and avoided a prosecution
and publicity. These snaps gener-
ally end about that way and in this
case the fellow was in luck in having
folks who could and would square
up and keep him out Of Jail. There
are number of men, and some of
them not SO youthful either, who
are qualifying for free trip to
Saltwater and will land there if
hey do not change their ways.

ANY man who knows the saloons
we'll can honestly say that most of
them have forfeited their right to
live. The model saloon exists chiefly
in the minds of editors of liquor
Journals, in the imagination of a
certain type of ministers and in the
mythical stories sometimes rehearsed
at saloon mems camp fires. I'm
fortunately, the average tipping
house is place of i'll fame. place
of shame and debauchery. With
comparatively few exceptions our
saloons are houses of drunken men,
profanity and obscenity of the vilest
possible type.
Does any man suppose that is
the kind of business to promote the
public welfare? Why should an in
telligent, self-respecting community
like Redwood Falls any longer apollo

The Ideal Forester.

To be a good forester man should
combine something of the naturalist
with good deal of the business man.
To know how to use the forest he must
be able to study it. He must have,
therefore, the power of observation, a
fondness for nature and the ability to
penetrate her secrets. But if he is to
succeed he must also have good Dracti-
