was pastor His illness did not as
sumo serious aspect till Wednesday
evening. when he became suddenly
worse. Two physicians at Knoxville
were summoned. and the following
morning they held consultation with
a physician from Galesburg. Shortly
after the doctors held their meeting
the minister answered deaths call. He
was born in Garphyttan, Nerike, Swe-
den, Dec. II, 1858 He came to Amer
lea in 1880 and entered Ausustana col
lege. He was graduated in 1885 and
then he took up the seminary course
completing his studies in 1887, when
he was graduated. That same year he
was ordained as a minister i'll Chicago.
His first charge was as pastor of the
Swedish Lutheran church of Sioux
City. Iowa. He also served as pastor
of the Swedish Lutheran church in
Davenport for about five years. and
he was with that church when he &C
cepted call to Knoxville last Novem-
Der. He had never been in perfect
health and this hampered him greatly
in his church work He was a man
who made many friends and he had a
countless number in the three cities.
He was president of the Rock Island
district of the Illinois conference, and
his term would not have expired till
this month. He also was treasurer of
the pension fund of the Augustana
synod. He is survived by his widow

What the Mayor Of One Western City
SAYS.

In June. 1909, without any solicit
tat'on on our part, we received an
order from a certain western town
to ship Immediately a car load OF Old
Style lager. This being nothing out
OF the ordinary, the incident was
forgotten until recalled ten days lat
or by receipt of the following letter:
&c. Heileman Brewing company,
La Crosse. Wis: Gcntlemen-I have
Just tried, several bottles OF Old
Style lager and IL is the best beer
| have ever tasted in my life. am
mayor of this city and II there r.
anything / can do for you let me
knew. Yours truly"
The above letter simply illustrates
how "Old Style lager" becomes the
leading beer almost Immediately in
any territory where it is placed on
sale. Just two years ago we were
compelled TO open a Chicago branch,
owing TO the numerous unsolicited
orders we were receiving daily at
La Crosse for shipments 10 that city.
The result has been that we have
been compelled to move three differ
ent times in order TO secure avail
able space for our constantly in
creasing business. Last summer. our
second season in Chicago, we were
selling on the average OF three car
loads daily in that city. Taking into
consideration that every beer Of ma
tiOnal reputation is on sale in the
Chicago market. IL is very evident
that lovers Of a good glass OF beer
find it in "Old Style lager" or most
assuredly they would not have given
it their unqualified endorsement in
so short a period Of time.

A cheerful word or smile will fill
your fireside with pleasantness. re-
kindle the fires of love in your wife's
bosom and brighten the hopes and

fulness is better than doctors medi-

and wherein a sense Of hospitality and
good cheer exudes from the very table

of gloomy elegance, wherein every
thing is for show and nothing TO be
used.
The gleeful life OF happy children is
the best home music and the graceful
figures of childhood are the best stat

From the headwaters of the Missouri
