Parental Responsibility.

A celebrated Geramn physician says; 'When our little ones come
 runsling into the house crying
 from a blow on the head a slap on the face, a bruised knee or a bleeding nose, the whole house is excited, everybody comes running and the first questions they ask are; What is the matter? Who did it? But the same persons look on cold and indifferent while institutions are busy file d with childfeD who are dutlards, epi-, leptic anG sdiOtic. No one asks Who is ito blam efop these thou sands Of children whose golden spring time of life is overshadow- ed by St. Vitus'Dance and epilep- sy?' Ask the physicians who have investigated the causes of these diseases and they will say to you You, yourself, are the cause. To you is due the greater part of this misery. More than half of all feeble mindednesS and dslllness i'll children is due to the tippling of their parents. More than half of the unfortunate little ones who have St. Vitus' Dance and epilepsy are indebted for it to the ignor- ance of their parentstf He fur they says; Tt was not the sudden fright nor the unexpected blow not the b.ack cat that ran across the way, nor the red dog that parked at the mother was the cause but the father who under- mined his health with 'strength- ening wine, beer and whiskey and beQueathed to the chi.dreen more or less deranged nervous system
 Prof. Von Bunge than whom no higher authority could be quoted says; The use of wine and beer not only causes the children to bs diseased and defective but I have found by most exact investiga7 tlunS that the use of alcohol is the cause Of an increasing disabil1 ity Of women to nurse their chil1 dren which of coures robs them .of their natural nourishment. What a source of danger to life is shown by the fact that the death rate of bottle fed babies is six times greater than of those naturally nourished.

A FALSE PREDICTION

Mime. Cleo, prima-donna so- prano of the Rush opera company, sat before the long table in her dressing room making up' for the evening performance.
 A dash of rouge, a dab of powder, myriad beads of blue cosmetic along the slender edge of her blond eye lashes, and she was transformed from plain, middle-aged woman into a radiant vision of youthful beauty. Suddenly a shrick, sound ing from the stage, startled her.
 Scream after scream went up from the chorus of fairies gathered for the opening tableau. Madam's first thought was of fire; catching up her chamois bag of jewels, she made a dash for safety, but the scene which her open door disclosed treasured her.
 It was no fire It was only an &C., cident to one of the chorus girls. h. differently she would have turned back to her preparations, but she spied the manager, Lynn Rush, striding through the excited crowd.
 "What is it?" she called to him.
 Rigging broke; one of the girls killed, l suppose" he answered, shortly.
 "Her own fault, probably" she flung back. ''The 'firefy girls are too careless. Don't let it annoy you; come in moment, Lynn"
 He paid no attention to the honeyed invitation; he had long ago sounded the depths of Mime. Cleo's

 But you have a husband," cried Amy, aghast.
 "Ha, hal" laughed Cleo. Hear the little innocent. That is what you will never have if you continue to accept Lynn Rush's favors."
 A step on the threshold.

 He drew Amy away, leaving madam undecided whether to resort to mysteries or to faint. In Amy's dressing room the man. ager of the company slipped an arm around her.
 "You have not said if you will ac- cept the husband l offer, sweet heart"
 A blare of instruments, the call- boys cry of "overture," drowned her whispered reply, but love under- stands though lips remain mute.- Wayerly Magazine.

breathing. To all appearances the girl was lifeless; it had been a cruel fall from the flies.
 ''Here," he called to some of the men, "help me to carry her into Cleo's room."
 They lifted her gently and bore her to madam's door. The star dressing room was on the stage, only a few feet away, but madam was in no mood to play the role of nurse to a mere chorus girl. She raised her voice in loud objections. until Rush, disgusted, bade the men bring carriage at once.
 ''Does anyone know who this young woman is?" he asked.
 Several of the girls told him.
 "Amy Ames; she lives at 19 Well ton court, with her blind mother.o And some one added: 'She is her mothers only SUD- port. What q pity if she is killed"
 Lynn Rush, man of the world. theatrical manager, and as selfish as such life is inclined to make one. felt something like pity stir his heart. She was pretty little crea- ture lying there, white and helpless, against his breast. The carriage had come; without reasoning why. he stepped in with his unconscious burden, gave the address to the driver and slammed the door.
 ''What a pity if she is killed" he repeated. "Poor little fotsam upon life's ocean," And he caressed the hand that lay Imply against his knee.
 She struggled to sit up and he helped her; in the darkness of the carriage he could see her extreme pallor, the weakness which assailed her, but she made a brave effort, smiling faintly as she told him that she was better, asking where she was, where they were going.
 He told her.
 "Oh, but 1 must not go home" she exclaimed in distress. My mother-it would frighten her; and l cannot lose nights salary! Please take me back"
 You are not fit to work. Be- sides," he added, kindly, "you shall not lose a nights salary"
 "Are you MT. Rush? I thought 1 knew your voice."
 So, she had known his voice, and he, self-centered cad had not known Of her existence.
 It was long ride to Welton court, but Lynn Rush felt that it was too short He ought to be in the ''front of the house" at that mo- ment, still it was with reluctance that he left her in the care of her blind old mother, after being as- sured that no fracture had been sus- tained.
 Never again was Amy permitted to be drawn up into midair as a "firefy:" Lynn Rush locked after her so closely that Mime. Cleo be- came alarmed fearing the waning of her own influence.
 A month passed; Amy had been given small part and sang it so well it was suggested by Rush that she take the understudy for the prima donna.
 When Cleo heard of this she sent for Miss Ames, all the arrogance of her nature flashing from her eyes.
 "Ah, my dear," the tone was sweetness as of distilled nectar. "So you are to be my understudy? 1 congratulate you; but, really, do you realize the danger to your reputation If you continue to permit our man. ager to show you such marked favors? You are surely not so stupid as to imagine you are capable of singing my part. Be careful, my dear, be careful. You are young

AUTO T0PPLED OVER
MRS. A. M. JOHNSON, SPIRIT LAKE,
KILLED NEAR LIE SUEUR.
Distressing Accident Occurred Late
Yesterday Afternoon; One of the
Seats of Machine Struck the I'm
fortunate Woman's Neck, Almost
Severing Her Head From Body;
Car Rolled Down An Embankment.

A distressing automobile accident
occurred about three o'clock yesterday
afternoon short distance north of L,
Sueur.
Mrs A. M. Johnson, wife of the
leading dry goods merchant of Spirit
Lake, Iowa, one OF the most promi
nent business men of northern Iowa
was instantly killed. Other members
of the party escaped without serious
injuries and the car was not badly
damaged.
In turning out to allow team to
pass, the car was run too close to the
edge of the road embankment, and the
filling giving way, toppled over and
rolled into the ditch below. AS the
car went over, Mrs. Johnson fell to the
ground and the edge of one of the
seats struck the unfortunate woman's
neck, almost severing her head.
The party included Mr.. and Mrs
Johnson and their son, A. M. Johnson
and his bride. The young couple were
on their honeymoon, which made the
accident the more distressing.
News of Tragedy Brought Here.
News of the tragedy was brought
to Mankato by a party of st. Cloud
people, including Mr.. and Mrs. "A. G.
Whitney, Wheelock Whitney and Miss
Lois and Pauline Whitney and Mr.. and
Mrs. c. L. Atwood, Miss Marjorie At
wood and Crandall and Allen Atwood,
who are making tour in two large
automobiles, and arrived in the city
last evening, being guests at the Saul
paugh last night.
The johnson party arrived in Man
kato yesterday morning, en- route from
Spirit Lake to Minneapolis, and ate
luncheon at the Saulpaugh. Early in
the afternoon they started northward,
a very happy party, little thinking the
Angel of Death was near, and how
soon their enjoyment was to be turned
into deepest sorrow.
Party Rendered Assistance.
The st. Cloud party reached the
scene of the tragedy only few min
utes after the accident and rendered
every assistance to the grief-stricken
Mr.. johnson and son and daughter
The body of Mrs. johnson was taken
at once to LIE Sueur, preparatory to
taking it to Spirit Lake and no
thought was given to the car lyingg
at the foot of the embankment.

and their respective families left this
morning for Owatonna where they will

DEATH IN HIS SLEEP
w. H. CALL KILLED NEAR EAGLE
LAKE SUNDAY MORNING.
An Escaped Inmate of the Insane Hos
pital at St. Peter Struck By a
Freight Train on the Northwestern
Road; Had Sought Rest on Cat
tie Guard; He Was Former
Resident of Pipestone.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Life snapped out by west bound
Northwestern freight train, the body
of William II. Call, an escaped patient
of the state hospital - st. Peter,
was found about nine o'clock yester-
day morning by A. j. Loeffler near
the Northwestern railroad crossing a
mile and Q half east of Eagle Lake.
Call Fell! 1Asleep.
Coroner L. r. Kennedy, who viewed
the remains short time afterward, is
of the opinion that the unfortunate
man sat down OH the framework
around the cattle guard, with his head
in his hands and fell asleep. An early
morning freight train Numbered past
and the beam of the engine pilot struck
Call on the left temple, killing him
instantly and hurting his body end
over end for distance of several
feet. &c -
Andy j. Loeffler; the well known
baseball pitcher, was walking on the
railroad track near the point known
as Loeffler's crossing when he came
upon the lifeless body of a man lying
with his feet near the rail.
Coroner Kennedy Summoned.
Coroner Kennedy was summoned and
conducted an investigations. Men living
in the vicinity said they had seen
the man around barns and haystacks
for two days past. Some of them
had fed him, but the man refused to
eat anything but bread and milk. They
thought him only eccentric, however,
and that he might be an escaped in
sane patient never dawned upon them.
The fact that the only wound on his
body was the ugly cash in his tenn
pie, and because the body was found
near the cattle guard, led Coroner
Kennedy to the conclusion that the
man was killed as above stated, and
no inquest will be held.
His Identity Established.
Calls identity was established by
means of papers found in his clothes,
some of which showed that he was
once an inmate of the ST. Peter hos
pital. Coroner Kennedy called up the
institution by telephone and learned
that Call had escaped Thursday or
Friday. Other papers disclosed the
fact that he had money deposited in
the First National bank at Pipestone
and that he had relatives i'll that city
and in Aurora, S. ID. He was a man
C
age.
The body was brought to the under
taking rooms of the John Klein Co.
in this city and prepared for burial.
The authorities at st. Peter telephoned
yesterday afternoon saying that they
would take charge of the remains and
arrange for the funeral.

few game fish were entrapped, but
1T is likely that these fish ore scarce

well patronized yesterday, both for
dinner and supper. Many went by

Found Elks' Antlers.
Early in the day, the seine brought
up from the bottom of the lake a
pair of giant elk's antlers, measuring
five or six feet across, and many
pronged. They were broken in sew
eral places. The skull was attached
to the antlers and one bone foot
or more long was also recovered. 1t
would appear that in the early days,
when elk roamed this country, the
animal was driven into the water by
wolves or bears or mountain lions and
became mired and persisted there. w.

NORTH MANKATO COUNCIL MEETS
Meeting Date Changed to Last Friday
in Each Month

The North Mankato village council
held meeting last night and allowed
the bills and talked over several mat
tiers. A change was made in the time
of holding the regular meetings, and
it was decided to hold them on the
last Friday evening of each month in
stead of on the first Saturday night.
The matter of providing drainage for
the lower part of Belgrade avenue was
talked over. 1t was thought that it
would be good thing to secure the
services of an engineer to lay out a
drainage system for the entire village.
