BRUCE.

From the Herald:
The missionary society met with
Mrs. Ancil Bunday Friday afternoon.
The society is interested in the study
of the religions of counties where mis-
sionaries are established. The sub
ject for the afternoon was India and
the subtleties of the Brahmin teach
ings were touched upon in reading by
various members, and the character
Of the natives OF that country depicted
fairly and impartially. The study is
a fascinating one, and if continued
will probably prove OF much interest
and pleasure to the members. Some
of the subjects, like that of Brahamin
philosophy, are very profound and al
most unintelligible to the western
mind, but comprehension m with
continued study, and a better under
standing Of the peculiarities of va
rious faiths, and the people whose
guide they are, will eventually result.

HENDRICKS.

From the Pioneer:
What might have proven a serious
accident but which merely had a hui
morous finish occurred to a local citi-
zen Monday. Like all good men, he
was going to be handy around the
home on wash day. Everything was
progressing fine and dandy until he
proceeded to carry some water down
into the basement. Then is when it
happened. He made a misstep and
slid down the stairs on the north
west corner of his right ear. Now,
of course, there is nothing funny
about that as it usually hurts to slide
down a flight of steps, but the hui
morous part came when the water
came after him. And he got the
whole works. 1t was a regular Turk
ish bath. You know when you take
one of those things they sling you
around the building for a while and
then throw water at you. But this
falling down stairs and spilling the
water after you is a way of doing it
all by yourself. It's a fine stunt.
Something that everybody can't do
just exactly right the first time. And
the beauty of it is, If a person should
get tired of sliding down or one ear
he can just use the other. 1t is not gen.
orally known that our friend can do
this stunt, but when it is he will no
doubt be pestered for demonstrations
and there is no reason why he should
not show how he does it.

AURORA.

From the Times:
Several of the daily papers, both
in Iowa and Minnesota have been
giving quite lengthy articles on what
they hold up to the public as a case
Of kidnapping at Davenport, Iowa. But
no more a case of kidnapping than it
vas horse stealing or running a North
les are as innocent of any kidnapping
affair as the most new born child,
and IL anybody is guilty of a crime
1t is the parties at Davenport. The
parties to the deal were Attorney
Johnson. of Ivanhoe, Mimi, Miss
Freda Lunschen, Of Iowa, Chas. Lun-
schen, of Aurora and a three year
old son of a brother Of the two Lun.
schen's mentioned. About one year
ago the parents of the child died and
Mr.. Chas. Lunschen was appointed
guardian over the child in Minnesota
and Miss Lunschen in Iowa. But be-
fore the courts had time to act on
the appointment. two aunts, sisters Of
the child's mother got the child in
their possession. After the appoint
ment was made they kept the child,
claiming a bill for support of the
same. which in the estimation Of
the guardians was unjust. A settle
ment was attempted but only jeer
was the response. Attorney John
son. of Ivanhoe was employed and
went to Davenport. and after he salts
fed himself that q reasonable settle
ment was out Of the question, he
still had the old saying In his hat.
"possession Il nine points in law"

So he and Miss Lunschen hired an
auto and went to the house where
the child was kept, it was out on
the lawn at the time, Miss Lunschen
sprang from the auto, sliced it and
placed it safely between them and
quickly hurried to the neXt station
where they boarded the train for
Aurora. They arrived on September
25th and the little one is now al the
home of his uncle and c%ontented. Was
it kidnapping.

entangled in a pully and pulled his
leg into the belt. At first it was
thought his leg was broken but on
investigation the bone was found to
be only cracked, and he seems to
be getting along nicely under the care

Of a physician.

The Sinai Corn Contest held last
Saturday was considered a great sue
cess in every way. 1t attracted a
large crowd of farmers from the sur
rounding country, besides many visi-
tors from nearby towns. The dis
play of specimens could hardly have
been better, even in a year when crops
were considered the best. The dis
play consisted of many samples of
yellow and white corn, besides pota-
toes and pop corn, and were all raised
on nearby farms. The judging and
awarding of prizes was performed by
Prof. A. NJ. Hume, of the State Agri-
cultural college who gave a very inter
esting lecture. Prof, ]. G.. Hutton,
also of the Agricultural college, gave
a lecture in the afternoon which
created much enthusiasm and was en-
joyed by all who heard it.

TTV JZ0E OF DO0PW4Y AEA0rc 10 The
Lh/A,E-0 ok/H1/4TP-

not have embraced one-fourth of the period OF
building activity at Copan.
Again. as We shall see, the hieroglyphic in
scriptions at Copan indicate that it was far
older than any of the Yucatan sites, and that
it probably had been abandoned many years
before the rise of the great northern cities
Still another reason for doubling that Copan
was colonized from Yucatan arise when We ex-
anime the historical data bearing on each. All
the early writer's, native as we'll as Spanish,
with the exception of Palacio, above quoted,
pass over the great southern metropolis In alb
solute silence; but when they come to describe
Yucatan nearly all of them mention the two
largest of the ancient cities there, Chichen
liza and Uxmal, and in some instances even
give brief outlines of their history.
The striking absence Of tradition relating
to such an extensive site as Copan can only
indicate one thing-that its fall and subse-
auent desolation had outlived the memory or
man even at the time of the Spanish Conquest
in 1880; and generation later, when Palacio
visited the place. 1t had been forgotten so long
that he was unable to find out anything about
its former history except the very dubious ira
dition given above.
The ruins are more easily reached today
from Guatemala than from Honduras, in which
latter Republic they are located. One leaves
the Guatemala Northern railroad at Zacapa,
and either by horseback or cart, journeys east
oNN~S
tan The actual distance travelled cannot be
more than 35 or 40 miles at the outside, but
the road is so rough and winds through coun-
try so mountainous that it takes two days to
reach the ruins after leaving the railroad. The
modern village of Copan, where one can secure
accommodations of a sort, is about three-quar
ters of a mile from the main group of ruins
1t is built over part of the site of the ancient
city, and has two beautifully sculptured affairs
standing in the plaza under large tree. Sew
eral other sculptural monuments are to be
found In various pigsties and chicken yards
throughout the village, and there is another
group of two or three. short distance to the
northwest In the campo santo' or buryfng
ground.
Taking the path leading to the east from the
village. fifteen minutes walk brings one TO
the entrance on the west side of the Great
Plaza the largest and doubtless the most I'M
portart court in the city. This imposing area
