 Friends are expecting Donald Fa1ken home for the Easter holidays. Dr. Packard has received an inter- esting letter from Fred c. Beach. Esq, who was on the way home from Colo rado where the snow was two feet deep. He will be at home on Satur- day and will manage the lantern at the illustrated lecture next Monday evening on the Passion Play at Ober- ammergau, at the Congregational church After witnessing the great religious play in 1900. Dr. Macfarland, the lecturer, wrote in the Boston Con- gregationalist:
 "The question is often asked, Is the Passion Play a religious observance or is it a spectacle? With those who en- act it's scenes it is unquestionabay religious ceremony. With those who go to see it it may be either. It de- bends entirely on the auditor. and be-. holder. Viewed in the right spirit, 1t brings wildly to one's mind and heart the story that has transformed the life of the world.
 {.sNo, it is not the drama nor the act. ing; not the spectacle that holds and moves one. It is the story itself The story of one who loved, who suf- fered and died for sinful men. Sinful men are listening to the story. They have been moved by it for two thou sand years-noved to penitence, to love. to suffering and to sacrifice. And they are moved today. The Passion Play at Oberammergau. witnessed in a reverent spirit, awakens a. profound religious feeling. a deep love for the Saviour of the world. awakens the deepest longings and the finest aspira- tfonS of the human soul"

 It is said by some of the dealers that there is not more than one-half the regular supply in New York Boston or Philadelphia now
 The situation is such that many churches will not be able to give away the large pieces of palm to their com municants that they have customariIy given on Palm Sunday

One Way Of Findinu Il.


A farmer was working in his hay
field when a neighbor came up and
engaged in a chat. which developed
into dispute about something or
other
TITS like looking for a needle In a
haycock." said the first farmer.
"And that's easy enough" said the
neighbor
EASY, is it," retorted the other. II
bet you shillings you won't find q
needle I'll hide in that there haycock
in an hour!'
"Done with you for 8 bobr cried
his neighbor.
The first farmer thereupon hid a
needle in the haycock and called
''Time!"
His neighbor drew match from his
pocket, set fire to the haycock and
rushed of at top speed to his own
house. Back he came presently and
found the haycock reduced to heap
Of ashes. Flourishing a huge horse
shoe magnet, he plunged it into the
ashes and in minute withdrew it
with the needle clinging to it.
1.-THE result of scientiflck eddication!
he said proudly to the first farmer,
who was gazing ruefully at the ashes
Of his haycock. IF you'd a bin ed
dicated scientifically up to date like
me you'd be richer by bob and the

Senators Nelson and Clapp of
Minnesota not only voted against
placing news print paper on the
free list but voted to increase the
House rate Of 81 to 81 per ton. To
them the interests of six hundred
local newspapers and their readers
appeared less than that of two or
three paper mills in the state. But
still no doubt most Of these sheets
will continue to lick the hand that
smites them and continue to boost
these illustrious gentlemen politi-
cally. In the case of Nelson at
least, we know he is not laboring
under any hallucination as to the
foreigner paying the tax, because
in his speeches he has admitted that
the consumer paid the tax.

The Gladiator,

Do you know the origin of the word
"gladiator?" Well tell you:
Marcus Antoqus and his wife were
out one day for spin on the Adriatic,
and Octavia, the mother-in-law, was
there. The question arose as to what
they should call the new fighters in
the arena. and Octavia got so abusive
about it that she slipped and fell over
board. Now, sharks were much larger
in those days, and one was ready.

rushed to the side just in time to see
the last of his mother-in-law. Then
being overjoyed at the kindness of the
shark, he cried:
'I'm glad he ate her! Pm glad he
ate her! Pm glad he ate her!"
Hence the new word for these fight
ers, and Marcus first duty on getting
back to Rome was to "call or see 'em,"
because he had new name "for 'em." J"

an offer on their system as follows:
They would sell local system at a
discount of 40 per cent from the
cost Of construction or for $500,
and their eight farmers lines for
$1,000. The directors of the local
company will consider the offer at
their meeting tonight. The farm
ers are inclined to the idea that
they can build cheaper than they
can buy the old lines. Since the
system would have to be rebuilt
within a few years it seems that it
would be better to put in a new
system at once. The Minnesota

their rates and the new schedules

SUSETTE
AND THE SENTRY.
A Spell Of Genuine Joy For the
Royal Baby.
BY HARRY c. CARR.

There was vivid flash in the sun
shine as the sentry by the palace gate
raised his saber in salute to the Prin-
cess Susette.
Her highness had run away from her
nurse and stood peeking out curiously
into the great world beyond the gates.
The children of the lodgekeeper were
making mud pies in the creek that
skirted the palace grounds. The Prin-
cess Susette wished that she, too.
might make mud pies.
The flash from the sentry's saber
caught her eye. The Princess Susette
meditatively sucked one little pink
thumb and surveyed him with round
eyed wonder. He looked big and ter.
rible on his great gray troop horse.
''What makes you do that?" inquired

The Intelligent Trout.

A correspondent says that when fish,
ing in small river he hooked a small
trout. "After little l managed to
pull him free, and he came along the
surface side up toward the landing net
without further resistance. Finding
the line little too long, began to reel
in, carelessly allowing the rod to drop
almost to the straight, when the fish,
then only foot or two from the shelv-
ing shore, suddenly recovered his wind.
The water was but two or three inches
deep at the spot, quite still and clear,
with one or two small patches Of sur
face grass on it. Instantly the trout
rushed at one Of these patches and
seized the grass in his mouth, holding
on for all he was worth and defying
me to drag him free. I then put the
net under him and lifted him out with
the bit Of weed stuck in his teeth."-

WEDNESDAY, JULY Z, 1909.
THE IMPROVING OF FOOT LAKE.

The acquiring of the Homewood
Park for the city of Willmar is the
first result accomplished towards
doing something to improve our
home lake. There were hundreds
of people who attended the celebra-
tion last Monday who had never
been down to the park before and
were delighted with the fine stretch
of beach at the lake. We predict
that the park will prove very Pop
ular place thruout the summer sea-
son and no doubt more boats upon
the lake will be needed.
1t is therefore to be hoped that
the movement towards improving
Foot Lake will receive an impetus
that will lead to further achieve
ments. A boulevard should be laid
out along the shore of the lake
connecting the new park with First
ward.
We would like to see movement
started to acquire a body Of the ma
tive woods on the shore near Gill
gers place as another future public
park.
The most important question,
however, is the establishment of a
higher water level. Some action
should be taken by the city to de-
termine the old time natural water
level Of the lake and build a dam at
the outlet that will hold the water
up to that level. There is no ques-
tion apparently but what the bot
tom Of the old outlet has been tam
pered with.

fortunate individual, "do you mind re-

"Yus, l do" she snapped and glued
her eyes once more upon her idol.
"Look here, MISS" persisted the pale
man, II want to look as we'll as you!"

round and looking him straight be-
tween the eyes. Then you'd better
