An exchange puts it this way:

tains and high taxes, low valleys
and low wages, big, crooked rivers
and big, crooked statesmen, big
lakes, big pumpkins, big men with
pumpkin heads, silver streams that
gambol in the mountains, and pious

the night, roaring cataracts and

plains that like a sheet of water
and a thousand newspapers that

DEATH CLAIMS A
PROMINENT CITIZEN
Came to Audbon Many Years Ago
and Was Widely Known-- Bought
Grain and Stock.

The intelligence of the death of Matt
johnson came as a surprise to many
people Tuesday morning. He had been
in i'll health for some time and while
his demise was not unexpected, yet it
was shock when it came. He was
closely associated with the growth and
development of Audubon and Audubon
county, coming here more than twenty
years ago. He bought grain and live
stock tor number of years and later
entered the coal business.
Matthias johnson was born in Dem
mark Feb. 30, 1874 and passed peace
fully away at his home in Audubon,
Dec. 20, 1911 aged 60 yrs. mos. and
"a days.
In 1870 he came to America and re-
manned loyal and honored citizen as
long as he lived. In 1878 he was united
in marriage with Mary Christensen at
Des Moines. Iowa To this union were
born eight children six of whom sur
vive as follows: Mrs. Hans Albertsen,
Mrs. Elda Kempf, Mrs. May Horning,
Chas. l.. and Alva johnson all of Audu-
bon and Mrs. Emma Crone of Ross, la.
Mr.. johnson and family lived in Dallas
county, Iowa for "a number of years
where the entire family was held in
high esteem. In 1892 he moved with
his family to Audubon. where for 20
years he was successful in business
His friends and patrons testify to his
honesty and kindness. He was an ex-
cellent good neighbor to every one, in
dustrious and genial, in fact man
among men. He was kind husband,
loving father, true friend and brother.
When quite young he was baptized
and confirmed in the Danish Lutheran
church, in which faith he died. He
was also member of the Danish Bro
therhood and remained faithful to it to
the end. Funeral was held from the
Danish Lutheran church Wednesdayaf-
ternoon at 2 pm, conducted by the
pastor, ]. p Christensen, assisted by
Rev. j. H. Freedline, who spoke in
English language. Interment in Maple
Grove cemetery.

MERCHANTS ENJOY
EXCELLENT TRADE
Large And Well Selected Stocks
Bring In Scores of Christmas
Shoppers.

Audubon merchants enjoyed the
biggest and busiest day last Saturday
that it has been their privilege to enjoy
for number of months. In fact the
past two weeks have been exceedingly
busy ones for all Of them.
The merchants of Audubon had on
display large line Of Christmas goods,
perhaps larger than in previous years.
Not only did they carry large stocks but
they were particular to let the people
know the goods were here at their
disposal They were very liberal in
their use Of advertising space, and, as
one merchant remarked yesterday,
my advertising this year paid me
better returns than anything else /
could have done"
Everything was favorable to a great
Christmas. The roads were good, plenty
of snow, and above all q happy and con-
tented lot Of people.
No town in the country the size of
Audubon presented better line of
holiday goods. There was plenty of it
and there was an excellent collection to
choose from. We heard shoppers re-
mark that IL was almost equal to a
Fairy Land IN some of the big cities.
All this leads to but one conclusion, | @
Audubon is the place to trade"

AUDUBON WOMAN
LOST AT BLUFFS
She With Her Husband And Family
Were Visiting Relatives Goes to
Omaha--ls Last Seen of Her.

The police of Council Bluffs were no
titled last Friday of the mysterious dis
appearance of Mrs. Anna Waggenel
and her four-year-old daughter, who
with the husband and father, +. M.
Waggener, and four other children,
were stopping at Council Bluffs with
Erwin Waggener. The family was on
the way to Fairview, Neb., and made q
short stay at the Bluffs to visit with
Mr.. Waggener's brother
Thursday morning Mrs. Waggener
took her four year old daughter and
went to Omaha to do some shopping.
Since that time she has not been heard
of by her relatives. The police of Coun-
ell Bluffs and Omaha We're notified of
the woman's disappearance, but have
found no trace of her.
Mrs. Waggener is the wife of the c..
Il. l. IL p. section foreman of this place,
and is described as being heavy set,
weighing about 100 pounds and having
dark eyes and brown hair. The baby
girl also has dark eyes and brown hair.
The husband came to Audubon Sat
urday morning and left the next day
for Council Bluffs where he learned that
a woman answering the description of
Mrs. Waggener had purchased ticket
for Hastings, Iowa. She has brother
and sister living at Hastings and il is
supposed the woman concluded to make
them visit. 1t is expected that Mrs.
Waggener and her sister will return to
Council Bluffs to-day and will later re-
turn to Audubon
Mrs. Waggener has never before shown
signs of mental arrangement, but it is
family trait, and under a deranged
spell she is supposed to have left her
family at the Bluffs and gone to Hast
ings without knowing exactly what she
was doing The affair is indeed unfor-
tunate and much sympathy is due the
family.

TWELVE GOLD NUGGETS BY REV. J.
ALDER, For THE NEW YEAR
Time is fragment of eternity.
What are you doing with your "Frag.
ment?"
The Sermon on the Mount con-
tains more startling facts, than the pro-
foundest works of philosophy,
To ascend the Mount of 'Beati-
tudes, is greater feat than to climb
the "Matterhorn.
Backbone is better than wishbone
any time.
There Is an unseen force that
wins even the display type in news
paper: try to learn its secret.
A strong body, good brains and a
pure heart is the worlds best stock in
trade.
Z Mems fortunes do not consist in
the money or real estate they possess
but in their Creative Genius"
8 This New Year looks optimistic
to me. How does it look to you?
8 Christianity does not consist in q
lot of confused and jumbled ideas and
theories, but of a CONSTANT life, q
symmetrical character.
10 The Golden Rod is found in the
month of September, but you can find
the Golden Rule" every month of the
year by reading Mathew 7:12.
III Take little more interest in the
other fellow" this year, and see If You
won't grower taller, broader, and
sweeter
| ~ True Holiness will not only
clean up mems lives. but it will clean
up the church. put in better equipment,
better methods, pay the pastors better
salaries, and give men plenty of good
common sense,

eternal life, now in this life we are to
build structure which is nothing
more than human character that shall
last forever. Sin must be blotted out
in this life or else we will never mingle
our songs of praise with the redeemed
hosts of heayen. Regeneration must
take place, if we are ever to secure a
title to the mansions in the skies.
Second / remark that we must
give an account of our years as to how
we spend them. Our years and our
deeds are all recorded in Gods great
book They will all stand before us
in the last great day. Not one year
or one day will be forgotten, they will
be presented to us just as we spent
them whether wise or foolishly Our
years like the pages of q volume will
be filled up with our actions, words
and thoughts. Not one incident
whether good or bad will be left out
Our years will fix our state and decide
our destiny Glorious tho'tl if we
are in Christ Jesus our lives will not
be blank, but shine out with brilliant
deeds like stars forever and ever.
Second. Notice ''The Evanescence
and Vanity of our Years" We spend
our years as tale that is told. BY
some students of the word of God
these words are construed as meaning
"a Meditation" or "A rapid thought
of the mind" or "As word that is
quickly spoken" In fact it may
truthfully be said that life is like a
story that is told What is there in a
story to attract our attention. / re-
mark a good story Is always interesting.
n r,f me ne
time been entertained by the story teller
and many time have we entertained
others by rehearsing some story of
some bygone event For instance, who
has not been royalty entertained by
reading Washington Irving's stories
and Cooper's Leather Stocking Tales
and others that might be of interest to
us. But likewise are the Bible stories
very interesting to both old and young.
What better story could one read than
the story of young Joseph down in
Egypt, or the story of Daniel who
meat, or of David the king and psalmist.
And vet our own lives are just as worthy
of note as any of the individuals named
heretofore for this reason, there is an
immortal soul wrapped up in each one
Vi us WHICH u ucSuiucu W i've IOFoNcf.
Our lives are just as interesting rs the
life of the mightiest king that ever sat
on throne, or just as interest
ing as the grestest statesman that ever
stepped inside the senate walls. God
is no respector of persons, the poor have
opportunities as well as the rich, hence
we all ought to do all the good we can
for our fellowmen and In making the
world better for our being here. If we
love and serve Christ who is the author
Ct this great salvation which has been
the means OF comforting thousands and
multiplied thousands of souls who were
in need of friend who sticketh closer
than brother, then we some day shall
have our reward.
Again remark, we spend our years
as imperceptibly and rapidly as tale
is told. An amusing story beguiles
time, we are often amazed, how
quickly the hours have flown; just SO
