him up.
You can't answer when we call
you, Lloyd you can't come when we
want you but heaven is nearer and

who knew and loved you will wait
patiently for the day when there
will be a grand and happy reunion.
A sad Thanksgiving and a sad

gave and he has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

INTO THE BEYOND A GLAD GREETING

Dies at His Home in Miles City, Mon
tana at the Age of Sixty
Three

William Schertfius died at his home
in Miles City. Montana, on Friday,
June 30, at the age Of sixty-three
years.
Word of the passing of this former
we'll known resident of Sank Centre
came in the form of a telegram tc
David Cleveland. No particulars OF
Mr.. Schertfius death have yet been
received
The records of the local lodge OF
Odd Fellows show that Mr.. Scherttius
Joined the order here in June of 1872.
He remained a member of this lodge
until his death.
Mr.. Schertfius came to Sank Centre
early in the seventies, probably not
long before he affiliated with the Odd
Fellows. He was always active in the
order.
Mr.. Scheriffius lived in Sank Centre
until late in 1906 or early in 1907,
when he removed to Montana. He
was in business while a resident here,
we'll known and highly respected by
large circle of acquaintance.
During the latter years of his life
Mr.. Scherffius was in poor health, and
last Fall he underwent a surgical OPP
Grafton. While this afforded temper
airy relief, yet he never was well and
strong afterward.
After leaving Sank Centre Mr..
Schertfius made several visits here
and always enjoyed coming back to
the little city where he lived for SO
many years, and meeting his many
old friends and acquaintance. His
last visit here was some six or more
months ago, and it was seen at that
time that he was gradually failing.
Mr.. Scherffius was constant reader
of the Sank Centre Herald, always
kept his subscription paid a year in
advance and was particular about re.
ceiving copy Of the paper on time.
He leaves a widow, two sons and a
daughter.

various periodically ecorate d
launches. At four large bathing
party gathered on the beach, the la
dies appearing in very up-to-date cos
tunes and the gentlemen in their
striking conventional suits. In the
evening there was fine display of fire
works on the beach, the success of
which must be accorded to that en-
thusiastic member, frankie White
man. The fun closed with very sue
cessful balloon ascension and mid
night serenade. which, however, did
not dampen the spirits of several un-
usually energetic midnight providers.

CALL At GIRLS SCHOOL
MeSSrS. VaSaly and SwenSdeR Spend
half Day Here and Look Over
the Institution

c. E. Nasaly and c. j. Swensden,
members Of the Board of Control,
spent Friday forenoon at the Mime
sofa Home School for Girls. They
arrived early in the day and went at
once TO the institution and sgot
busy" The gentlemen made brief
inspection of the cottages and spent
considerable time with .the superin-
tendent, Mrs. f. T. Morse, going over
plans and estimates for putting the
grounds in order. That there is i'm
mediate need for something to be
done along this line both gentlemen
admitted, and they expressed the hope
that work would begin soon.
Their work finished, Messrs. Vasaly
nd Swensden lunched in the cottage
with Mrs. Morse. They partOok of
the same fare that is served to the
girls and said the food was of excel
lent quality, the quantity generous
and the cooking fine. In fact, said
the gentlemen, the lunch was good
enough for anybody. They left on
the noon train for St. Paul.
Things are getting into shape at
the school, Furr iture has been ar
irving on the installment plan, but
nearly everything is now on hand SO
that the work of the school can move
along without embarrassment. The
girls like it here. They enjoy the out
door life, the bathing in Sank Lake
and all lines of work. The change
from the old quarters to the fine new
buildings is greatly appreciated by all
the inmates.
The members of the Board of Con-
troll hope to let contracts for the adj
ditional buildings provided for by the
1911 legislature, before great while.
Plans are in the process of prepare
ton and it is thought that good head
way can and will be made this season.

4. f. Strehei

A. f. Strebel, whose approaching
marriage TO Miss Alice Dean will be
the social event of the summer. was
the chief figure at a shower" last
Thursday evening.
| OF course Miss Dean was there. but
| the affair was distinctly in honor of
the prospective bridegroom. The
function was arranged by Mrs. j. A.
| Dubois, who issued the invitations,
| but as she was called out of the state
| Thursday morning by the death of a
relative, the proceedings were held at
the home Of the prospective. brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Dean.
The guests were young people,
friends of both Miss Dean and Mr..
Strebel, and few young married
people. The function was strictly in
formal, but was thoroughly enjoyable.
Each guest had provided something
in the way of a souvenir for the pop
ular cashier of the Merchants Nation
al Bank who is soon to desert his
bachelor brothers and launch his bark
upon the sea of matrimony. The
gifts were ''sent around" in the after
noon, and while Mr.. Strebel was cog
infant of the affair, yet he was kept
Gin the dark about anything in the
way of gifts. There were forty or
fifty guests and each remembered the
guest of honor.
The early part of the evening was
spent informally. About ten o'clock
Miss Dean and Mr.. Strebel were sum-
Imoned to the parlor, each blindfolded
and seated side by side in prominent
position. The gifts were t h n
brought in and placed before them.
The cylinders were then removed
and the prospective Benedict directed
to take each article separately, in
spect it, tell the name of the giver
and read any message that might be
found with it.
Mr.. Strebel's friends must have con-
sidered him thoroughly domestic
and industrious person, if the nature
and variety of gifts is criterion by
which to Judge. There was hardly
thing among the numerous articles
that didn't suggest industry of some
sort. Among the gifts were: a wood
saw and saw horse, three carpet beat
ers, one snow shovel, one garden rake,
one hoe, one step ladder, one broom
and dust pan. several tin pals, and
long list of similar articles. In the
line of personal adornment was one
white felt outing hat. Indicative of
rest were two pairs of socks and one
pair of carpet slippers. The list was
motley one and covered about every
thing suggestive of effort.
Mr.. Strebel was fully equal to the
occasion, taking everything in good
part and enjoying the numerous cute
and witty, messages attached to the
different gifts.
Later ice cream and cake were
served and the company broke up
about eleven o'clock. Mrs. r. E.
Hansen presided as mistress of cere-
monies during the evening, assisted
by Mrs. Kirghis. Mrs. E. J. Lewis
assisted in collecting and bringing in
the gifts.
The following morning one of the
gifts Gan axe) was discovered at the
Dean residence, it having been mis-
laid the evening before. The donors
suggested that the recipient might
use it either to split the wood or to
hew his way to fame and fortune.

friends from town during the day.
AT 11:3O a. m. and at 5 p. m. the

Cooper launch with two row boats in
