/ Mrs. Robson S youngest brother

Leo Orrock, who has claim

/ Mrs. Bessie Peterson and little

Friday from Webster City Iowa,
and are visiting among friends

Mrs. Peterson has not yet decided
OF her plans for the future, but
may conclude to remain here.
Mrs, Auguet Schue,er and three
little daugters started last Sunday
for Groton, to visit relatives and
upon reaching Aberdeen received
a telegram announcing the sudden
death of her mother, Mrs. Marga-
LET Rapp, at hes home at Dickin-
son, m. D., aged about "A years.
Mrs. Schueler immediately took
the Northwestern train FOR Oakes
and from there took the n. p
train, reaching Dickinson in time
for the funeral.
1t is always best to wait for
eviienoe before passing judgment.
When you hear reports detrimental
to people, don't be hasty in form
ing a conclusion. 1t is better to
be charitable when anyone is in
trouble. Today it is some one
else's girl or boy; tomorrow it,
may be yours, Trouble comes to
us all and we should be willing to
extend the same charity we expect
from others. Gossip distorts and
magnifies occurrences that have no
Foundation III fact, ard injustice
is often done innocent parties.
Contentment is an element that
is lacking in mans makeup. The
young child looks longingly for
ward to the time when he may en-
JOY the privileges of mis- older
brothers; youth eagerly desires
the strength and skill of mature
manhood; the man Of fifty looks
out upon romping group of chill
dren ard is suddenly struck
with the thought that it was at
that age he enjoyed life the fullest;
the tottering old man is sure Of it
and embraces a faith which points
to con eminent as a thing to be
enjoyed beyond the grave.
