tenant governor of Minnesota, was
youth of twenty years he met and fell
in love with the belle of Paynesyille,
Ohio. Although he was an ardent ad-
mrer ne lacked the courage to tell
of his love and left Ohio to make his
fortune in the then barren west.
First Lived in Shakopee.
In 1854 he landed in Shakopee, where
he lived and worked until February,
| 1856, when he went to Blue Earth,
which with II. r. Constants and Others,
he helped to organize.
As the years passed and he heard of
the marriage of the sweetheart of his
youth, Mr.. Wakefield married an esti-
mable woman of Blue Earth. Two
wears after the first marriage Mr..
Wakefield was elected speaker OF the
house of representatives of Minnesota
and was elected state senator from
1867 to 1869.
In 1857 he was elected lieutenant
governor and served under Governor
Pillsbury until January 10, 1880. Two
years later Mr.. Wakefield was elected
to congress from the second district
and was reelected in 1884.
Able Citizen and Lawyer.
That he was an able citizen and
LAWYER is shown by the fact that in
1886 Old Trinity college conferred upon
him the degree of doctor of laws. A
few years later his wife died and his
life was lonely one until about three
years ago.
He was then more than eighty
wears old and not in robust health
The sweetheart of his youth ther
came back to his thoughts and thu
old longing to possess the woman
, whom he had left and who in thu
meantime had become a widow came
, to him overwhelmingly.
Wedding Was Arranged.
The wedding was arranged and OF
{ July, 5, 1907, the couple, both owe
eighty years old, were married at Blu
D Earth. The happiness was short LIVED
however, for the aged bride lived littl
\ more than year. The body wa
Q taken to Cleveland and since that sa
event the thread of life in the old pic

), wish was to be buried beside tn
sweetheart of his youth. and this wis
is being carried out.
The former congressman had no nea
relatives, the closest being niece an
a nephew, both of whom live in 5
. Paul.

FOR THE GILL DnE.I.
The 1ancia1 Skeleton.

Obtain piece of board about IS by
Il inches and let this be painted Il
dead black Oh both sides, says the Phil
ade,pAia Ledger. Now get Il piece Of
cardboard painted also dead black to
match the board and cut out the shape
of Il skeleton. Attach the arms and
legs with black thread to the body ana
connect them enc with the other by
means of another thread across from
arm to arm and leg to leg with anoth-
err piece connected with each of these,
SO that when the figure is held by the
head and this thread is pulled it causes
the figure to throw up its arms and
legs.
Have a small tack in the board
toward the top, and on this hang
the skeleton. Now bring forward the
board with piece Of chall; and show
the blank side only. Now with the
chalk make two or three attempts 10
draw a figure, bat rub it out as if IN
satisfactory. Turn the board and the
black figure will not be perceived. Rap
idly with the chalk touch the edges
of the figure, filing UP the ribs, etc,
and taking care that nothing moves
while you are doing the drawing
Pass your hand slowly to and fro
over the figure and asking for Il little
music. take hold OF the thread be-
low the figure. ghs thread when you
pull it will cause the figure to throw
its limbs about, much to the astonish-
ment of every one. who will imagine it
is the figure you have just drawn on
the board.
