"Yes, but could not leave paps lying
there. There can be no question now
about my duty; it is comfort to know
that"
Yes, dearest, your place must be here
little longer; they could not spare you
to me yet. Do you know, | sometimes
doubt whether the old days will ever
come back"
"Oh, Aunt Di! Do you mean / shall
never be able to live with you again?"
asked Alison, in an alarmed voice.
Miss Darlington looked at her in a
strangely moved way.
Il do not think you will live at The
Holn's always; Missile will replace you
by and by. | am quite sure we shall be
together, even if it be not in the old way
Don't look so perplexed. Allie, darling
in this life, with its manifold changes and
chances, things are seldom quite the
same"
You and / will never be different-I
am convinced of that" exclaimed Alison,
not in the least understanding the drift
of Aunt Diana's strange speech. "Oh,
Aunt Di, how delicious the spring will
be! To think that we shall be rowing
on the river again to Long Island, to
hunt for forget-me-nots, and that we shall
hear the cuckoo in Aspy Woods, and L
shall be sitting in the studio watching
you painting and Roger will be with u.s."
That's right look forward Allie darl-
ing; it is your birthright. The young
must always look on to happy future.
Now say goodbye to me, for | hear the
carriage coming round. Christmas will
soon be here, and, heaven willing, we shall
meet again." And pressing her tenderly
in her arms, Aunt Diana turned away.

Educate the Boys and Girls.

Farmers should assist and encour-
age the study of nature In our coun-
try schools. 1t will encourage the boys
and girls to love their home and farm
life, and the city will have less attrac.
tion for them. They will be educated
to prosperous and higher plane and
be better able to keep In step with
the progress and change In civilization
and be better prepared to undertake
their business among the professions.
The time is past when the term "clod-

piled to the successful farmer.

Guy Gets a Twelve-Pounder.

"Now, don't get scared,' remarked
Guy Ewing to Miss flaming, the
summer school instructor whom he
took fishing on Elk lake Monday. .l1
[ should pull walloper into the boat,
for l have caught more than one
forty pound pickerel in this lake-in
fact 1 captured muscallonge here
last year that weighed, after it was
dressed, 81 pounds 9 ounces. OF
course a big fish like that creates con.
siderable commotion in boat and
one has to look out for it's jaws, but
have handled so many that they have
no terrors for me. So don't get
scared, Miss flaming.
Guy cast his spoon a few times and
whiz went the line-he had hooked a
pickerel. "This is probably small
fish," said Guy, probably a twenty.
FIVE pounder-it will give no trouble
whatever. He played the fish for a
time and then brought it alongside.
remarking, "Well, I'm disappointed
this is mere minnow.'' But when
he hauled it on board it cut up some
lively capers and proved a terror for
"minnow." Guy jumped on it,
knelt on it and ran his fingers into it's
eyes, but he could not hold it. II
jumped around in the boat, knocked
Guys hat overheard and would have
escaped had not Miss Tanning, who
remained cool throughout, picked up
the pickerel club which Guy invariably
carries on his fishing trips and put ii
to sleep. The pickerel tipped the
beam at exactly IL pounds.

The Late ii. b. Hanscome.

The Bisbee (Arizona) papers pay
glowing tributes to the memory of b..
B. Hanscome, an extended notice of
whose death appeared in last weeks
issue of the Union. His funeral, on
the 18th ult., was largely attended,
the floral tributes were numerous and
beautiful, and his associates in the
real estate business closed their Offices
between the hours of l and 3 o. M.
during the services.
The Bisbee Evening Miner of the
18th ult., has this to say, editorially,
of Mr.. Hanscome:
"A good name is better than great
riches. No man merely wealthy,
merely greatly successful in finance,
could command the homage of sorrow
and respect that is accorded the
memory of Harry B. Hanscome
today. It is something that cannot be
purchased: it is something that rings
true in the hearts of men, and rises
above mere pomp and circumstance
as the eagle above his mountain crag.
"Now that the end has come, many
acts of kindness and charity are re-
vealed which in his lifetime Mr..
Hanscome would say nothing abo:t
or have known to the world. Here,
again, precept applies that marks
the highest ideal of good deeds, for
Mr.. Hanscome's charity never
vaunted itself and was not pulled up.
"Mr. Hanscome's life has been brie1
but it has not been in vain. The com.
munity is better for the example he
has set, and the rigid course Of
integrity and justice to which he
adhered will live in the memory of all
his friends and acquaintance tc

world smiles, but when the way is

What We Pay for Mud.

America leads the world in the pro-
duction of mud-not cheap, low-grade
mud, but mud of very expensive
quality. Our mud is not packed in
neat boxes; labeled "Made in Ameri-
ca" and protected by tariff duties
from the pauper mud of Europe. tits
spread out thickly over millions Of
miles of our country roads. Only
one mile in fourteen of America IS
roads can be said to be really i'm
proved. The rest are mud-deep, mar
row streaks Of sticky, oozy mud. The
farmer fights with mud when be takes
his load to market. It is said to cost
him "a cents ton per mile to haul
his produce, while the thrifty French
man on mudless roads does it for half
as much. The American farmer paws
for his mud in decreased profits, in
hard labor, in poorer schools; his
wife pays in isolation and loneliness.
Nor is the farmer the only one who
pays the mud tax. The city man who
thinks he is buying eggs is buying
also mud. Mud puts it's price upon
our bread, our meat, and our fuel.
Three hundred million dollars year
is the estimated cost of muddy roads.
We can think of no way in which our
people could get less fun for the same

FOURTH AT Elk LAKE.
Big Crowd Gathers at II. b. Pratt's
Park and Enjoys Ball Game
and Other Attractions.
Spencer Brook, Greenbush and Santi'
ago Also Celebrate Day With
Sports, Dances, Etc.

Princeton made, no attempt at a
formal celebration of the Fourth al
though the small boys and girls
touched off the usual number of fire
crackers, rockets and other noise
producers.
At Elk Lake park, however, there
was grand observance of the
glorious day-and the day was
glorious not only from a historical
standpoint but in its meteorological
combination of sunshine and cooling
breezes. Princeton people and
visitors in large number from the
surrounding country celebrated the
day at Elk Lake park.
The baseball game was perhaps the
most interesting feature of the amuse-
ments. 1t was a rattling good game
played between Zimmerman and
Greenbush, the former winning in a
score of 6 to 3. The dance, which
proceeded throughout the afternoon
and evening in the pavilion, was
also an attractive feature into which
both young and old entered with a
spirit of enthusiasm. Gasoline
launches made excursions upon the
lake and Commodore Bulls gave his
friends spins in his catamaran. The
commodore was one of the busiest men
at the park, for in addition to sailing
the catamaran he was forced into
service as cook-there is no other
man in this neck of the woods who can
cook beans like Andy.
Fishing and pleasure parties were
out in rowboats and the park was
dotted here and there with picnickers
enjoying themselves beneath the
boughs of the giant trees.
Fireworks in the evening put the
finishing touches on the observance
and the vast assemblage was well
satisfied with the program which Mr..
Pratt had arranged for the glorious
Fourth. ~
At Spencer Brook, Greenbush and
Santiago independence day was also
befttingly observed.

AN IMPORTANT CASE
Judge Taylor Rules in Favor of Plain.
tiff in Suit of Chas. Keith
VS.. Nels T. Lee ct al.
Action Brought by Receiver Keith to
Determine and Set Aside the
Claims of Defendants.

Judge Taylor has filed decision
in the case of Charles Keith, as re-
ceiver of the Eastern Minnesota Land
company, against Nels 7. o. Lee, Carl
A. 0. Lee, J. 81. McGilvra and Mile
Laos Land and Loan company, de-
PENDANTS. This was an action brought
by the receiver to determine and set
aside the claims of the defendants to
l6O acres of land in this county, being
a part of the assets of the insolvent
land company. The answers of the
defendants Lee afford the best history
OF the case in brief and set out that
they entered into contract with de-
fendant McGilvra individually to pur-
chase the land for 81, 92O, and had
paid thereon the sum of 81, 66O.7O, and
that they believed that they were pur-
chasing the land from McGilvra as
the officer of said Eastern Minnesota
Land company, and that he, McGilvra,
had received and retained their money
as the treasurer of said corporation.
Judge Taylor says:
The above entitled action came on
for trial before the court, without a
jury, at the April, 1909, general term
OF said court, E. L. Mcmillan, ESQ.,,
appearing as attorney for the plaintiff,
and Messrs. Lord & Romken appear
ing as attorneys for the defendants
Lee, and Geo. c. Stiles, ESQ.,, and

attorneys for the defendants J. 81. Nc
Gilvra and Mile Laos Land & Loan
company, and the parties having
adduced their evidence in support of
the allegations of the pleadings here
in, and the cause having been duly
submitted, the court, being now duly
advised in the premises, finds as
facts:
That all the allegations contained
in plaintiff S complaint are true; and
as conclusions of law, the court finds
that the plaintiff is entitled to the
relief demanded in said complaint.

Dated, St. Cloud, Minnesota, June

Note: Defendants Lee unquestion-
ably acted in good faith, and it is
unfortunate that relief cannot be
afforded to them in this action. But,
as understand the law, plaintiff is
not bound by the contract made
between them and McGilvra, and they
must seek their relief from McGilvra
with whom they made their contract
and to whom they made their pay

Illuminated Auto Parade

With the idea of keeping abreast of
the times, and approaching the
wonderful popularity and growth of
interest in the automobile, the state
fair management has decided to
make Saturday, September II, 'sAuto-
mobile day" with all that the name
implies.
For the past three years the last
day of the fair has been known as
" Automobile day. but the automo-
bile features have been confined to
auto races, held during the afternoon
This year decided innovation is to
be included in the program in the way
OF an Illuminated and decorated auto
mobile parade to be given on both the
mile and half mile tracks at night.
In order to arouse interest in this
part Of the program the board of
managers has decided to offer a
liberal number of prizes for the best
decorated machines, and the prizes
will be so divided that the owners of
automobiles of all classes will have
an opportunity to win cash prize or
trophy as a result of their efforts to
make this part of the great fair a
success.
Both the mile and half mile track
will be brilliantly Illuminated with
various colored fires, which, with the
present searchlight equipment and the
new man-of-war light that is to be
installed this year, will make both
tracks as light as day.
