A Woman's Ace? Forget Il.

Man has no right to question w0'
mans age-to even think about It. A
woman, bless her, Is as old as she
makes out or makes up and not
day older. Man is out Of his latitude
when he begins trying to locate wo'
mans age longitude. 1t is her priVi-
|Iege to conceal her age in any form ~
manner she may choose. and 1t is
mans prerogative to assist her as
much as possible rather than hinder or
question her in any way. Man owes
1T to himself to see that she is sup
piled with every means OF concealing
her age or any new wrinkle which she
chooses to keep from the gaze OF the
|overcurious public. Man is not sup
posed to be young or beautiful. he
|couldn't be If he wanted to be and
wouldn't be If be could. With woman
lit is different She wants to be and

PACT OR WAR
Time for Either at Hand.

England as ruler of the seas of the
world and Germany as the dominant
power in Europe is the plan proposed
by Macmillan Harden, editor of
Die Zukunft, who became a promi-
nent figure in Germany by his fearless
exposure of the gross immoralities of
a clique of courtiers that had ingra-
tiated themselves into the kaiser's
favor, including Prince Zu Eulen-
berg.
Writing in his paper Harden says
the time has come for an Anglo Ger
man pact, whereby Germany will per-
NIT England to seize the Congo Free
State and any other district and ter
ritOries she desires and will recognize
England's mastery of the seas through
out the world. In return for this Eng
land is to recognize Germany's pre-
dominance in Europe and her needs
for territorial expansion, permitting
her to absorb any other European
country she may desire to and to ex-
tend her frontiers in any direction.
Unless Germany and England can
work in harmony secure, one or the
other must be crushed.

Pioneer Settler Dies.

After an illness covering period
of about three weeks, Charles A.
Kayser, former county official of
Nicollet county and one of the very
early settlers of this part Of the
state, passed away last Monday, June
FL. his death being due to nephritis
and heart trouble. Charles A. Kay
ser was born in Sieber, Hanover, Ger
many, Sept. II. 1927, and had nearly
attained his Sind year. He came to
this country in the early SOS, and for
a time after his arrival lived in Ar
kansaw. Then he came to Minnesota,
reaching st. Peter in 1856, the year
before Minnesota's admission as
state.
Mr. Kayser first served the county
in an official capacity as clerk of the
court, being elected to the Office in
1861 and serving term of four years.
In 1876 he was elected county treasur-
err, and remained in the Office until
1888. After his retirement he bought
wheat in this city and at Winthrop
but in recent years had not engaged
in active work. Mr.. Kayser was an
honest, upright man, and in his death
there disappears one of the prominent
figures of territorial times.
Left to mourn his loss are his widow,
seven sons and two daughters, The
children are: VIM. c. Kayser, Mil
bank, S. D.: f. Q. Kayser, Pittsburg,

Four Have Been arrested.

The fate of Holly J. Ledbeter, the
farmer who mysteriously disappeared
May 5th from his home in Limetown.
is, indeed, sad one. He was
murdered in cold blood and his life
less body dumped into hole on his
own farm. Ever since his disap-
pearance search was made unsuccess-
fully until Sunday evening. It was
then that the horrible fact of the
heneish deed was revealed and made
known to the public. The parties of
the suspected deed are locked securely
behind the bars and await Justice
which will be melted out to them ac-
cording to the intensity OF their crime.
The story of Ledbeters disappear
ance is known. 1t was said that Led
better disappeared on the morning of
May 9th, the last seen of him by his
wife and those on the farm was at the
barn on his premises. He failed to
respond to the breakfast call and an
alarm was sounded. Neighbors re-
sponded and they instituted a search.
but no clew was obtained as to his
whereabouts. Stories were told of
how Ledbeter was financially involved
and that this worried him greatly.
and his sudden leave-taking was the
result Of mental depression. This
story was accepted by many while
others were convinced that Ledbeter
was victim of foul play. Mrs. Led
better was repeatedly interviewed by
the sheriff and he was of the opinion
that no crime had been committed.
But Notwithstanding this impression
in his own mind, the sheriff and his
deputies had not given up the search.
Deputy Sheriff Phillips maintained
all along that Ledbeter had been
murdered.
However, it was not until P. A..
Ledbeter of Hayward, Wis, brother
of the dead man, arrived in Mankato
last week that it was determined to
make a systematic search for the
missing man. The Wisconsin Led
better was of the belief that his brother
had been foully dealt with. and it was
upon that theory that the hunters who
invaded the farm on Saturday after
noon proceeded with their work and
successfully finished it on Sunday
evening.
The story of the missing mans
brother, who, receiving no intimation
Of the disappearance of his brother
except through the papers came to
Mankato determined to prosecute q
search for him, at first believing him
alive, and later convinced that he
had been murdered, yet discouraged
on every side by the police, has scarce
IL parallel.

about week ago, visited his brothers

believed the change of climate would
