ENTERED INTO REST
Helen We'll.

In the death of Miss Helen We'll, last
week there went out of the world a
beautiful spirit. She was born in this
city some twenty five years ago (June
20, 1880.
In the course of time she graduated
from the Mineral Point high school
and attended the Platteville normal,
and became teacher in one of the de.
partments of our city schools.
1t was while on visit to her cousin
at Fort Dodge, Iowa, that she was TAX
en- sick but the best of care and medical
skill were Of no avail. She longed for
home, and a weary journey was under
taken. Nothing could exceed the kind
ness of the railway officials in their
efforts to make the journey comfortable
and safe; but she came back, only to
die amid the scenes of her girlhood
and the loving ministrations of her
home. .,.....
In announcing the funeral of Miss
We'll on Sunday morning. Rev. NJ
Chase, her rector, added: why one SO
young and fair is 80 called shows how
mysterious and indiscriminate is death.
Here he quoted the first verse of Long
fellows Psalm of Life, and he added
that this is more than poetry. 1t is
truly the psalm of life which we must
learn. He further added: II have
known Helen We'll from babyhood.
Under my ministrations she was bap-
tiled and confirmed and became a
faithful communicate. Ever bright,
ever true, ever faithful, she lived her
short life here. For her there was
brief sorrow, short lived care; but now
eternal rest. And while our sympathy
goes out without measure to the af-
flicted, we offer our prayer that the
God of all comfort may so strengthen
and establish their faith, that to them
and to us the clear vision may be
vouchsafed which sees in death only
translation to higher life, = not the
mystery of fate and destiny,-but the
vision of God.

made to raise 800, 900 toward the en-
dowment fund of Lawrence College,
Appleton, Wis. 1t was a very enthus-
iastic meeting, and ministers and lay
men responded with pledges to the
amount of 81, 900. At the business ses-
sion Friday morning additional pledges
were made, making a total of $40, 5000.
When the total amount of the pledges
was announced, the Conference rose to
its feet and joined heart and soul in the
singing of the Doxology of praise.
If the college is successful in raising
$50, 600 by October LIST, friend has
promised an additional $50. 900 and pos
sibly $4,000; hence the enthusiastic
effort which promises so great sue
cess. $4,000 more are needed.
In asking for donations to Lawrence,
Bishop Quayle declared that DR.. Sam
uel Plantz is recognized as the greatest
Methodist College President in Ameri-
ca, and that he thought Wisconsin
should be proud in having an educator,
who is so highly honored throughout
the nation. The Bishop also spoke
highly of the educational work of Law
renee, and said that it deserved well of
the people of Wisconsin. Thirty per
cent Of the male graduates of the col
lege are entering the Christian ministry
while many other graduates are filling
important places in business and in the
service of the state.
According to the facts given by DR..
Plantz, these are great days for Meth
odist colleges. During the past four
years $4,000, 600 have been given to
Methodist institutions of learning.

His Remarkable
Christmas Boots

l. PACK was an impatient little chap. He was so anxious 20 get the knot
in his shoesting united that in his hurry he broke it.
There: you aren't a bit careful" Evelyn chided. "Thata the third
shoe lace you've broken this week"
Speaking OF shoes, that reminds me of a story" said daddy
Once there raj a boy named Tom who was always wishing for things
This isn't fe, especially about Christmas, unless you are quite sure you
really wal 9 thing you wish for. &N@
tom ed that he had a pair Of seven Ieagued boots ike Hopo-My-
Thumbs so that he could go striding all over the world and ZEE strange sights
And on Christmas eve the Christmas fairy appeared at his bedside and
held out q very curious looking pair OF shoes t him.
Here re the seven leagued boots that you've wished for said the fairy.
You car put them Q n and go anywhere you like You must always take them
off at night when you go to bed, and you must never set them down anywhere
o their soles. Tie the strings together and hang them up by the strings at
night
Tom was very much pleased. He thanked the fairy and said he would
be very careful He q so anxious to try them that he got right up and put
the shoes IN and started out FIG"
my how he could walkl In no time he was miles from home seeing all
the strange sights he'd hoped so long to se. Now he was stepping over a
river n a mountain In a few long leaps.
And that night when he went to bed In the little cottage where he was
kindly given supper and allowed to sleep he hung up the boots very carefully.
And the next night the mayor Of the town where he stopped had him for
tea and gave him the use of his spare bedroom. And Tom hung the shoes u %
that night '#%## ..,.. #
The next night he spent with the king of the country through which he
happened to be sHidng at sunset and the king made a splendid feast for him.
and after that there was dancing. Tom vas 10 tired and sleepy when he
crawled into bed that he forgot all about hanging up the shoes,
the palace and straight back to the fairy.
And Tom had 10 walk every step o the hundreds OF miles home, Or at
least he thought he did, for after awhile he wakened in his own little bed
with bis mother standing beside him, and she said he had only had a Christ
nightmare"

TREMENDOUS DRAFTS ON COAL

Few Americans, even of those en-
gagged in the coal industry, realize that
the annual consumption of this fuel
In the United States is greater in a
single rear than the total output of
all the coal mines in the country from
the discovery of coa in America down
TO 1870. Every twelve months more
Goal is burned now than was. consum-
ed in a century, until several years
after the Civil war.
In the decade ending with 1876 the
American idea Of American industry
WAS that it was large and rapidly ex-
panding and that it consumed an enor-
NOUS quantity of fuel. Yet in those
ten years the production of coal in the
United states amounted to only 419,-
A2s,104 tons. Now the production is
well above half a billion tons a year.

The new Fargo Teachers club was
organized yesterday afternoon and
there was an attendance of about
eighty of the city school teachers, who
elected the following officers:

Secretary-Miss Berg.
The object of the new organization
is to promote sociability among the
teachers of the city public schools as
well az to aid in advancement in the
studies. The officers will meet in a
few days and prepare a programme
for the future meetings of the society,
for it is hoped to max them interest
ing and pleasant to all who attend.
Yesterday afternoon upon invitation
DR.. G.. M. Olson gave a most interest
ing talk on health in generally, and
particularly on the manner in which
to handle contagious diseases. He
gave some useful information, among
which were the first symptoms of a
number of diseases to which the
children are heir. His talk was
illustrated and was very interesting
and instructive. It is hoped to have
something in the way of an address
or lecture at each meeting of the
club.

SUNDAY FIRED
OUT A DOCTOR
A M'kEEsPoRT PHYSICIAN WHO
WANTED TO HEAR WHAT WAS
TO BE SAID AT A WoMANs
MEETING REFUSED TO LEAVE
AND WAS ROUGHLY HANDLED.

Rev. Billy" Sunday made things
lively for a McKeesport physician a
few nights ago. Here is what an east
ern paper has to say of the occurrences:
"A physician was roughly elected
by Billy Sunday from the meeting
for women only in the tabernacle last
night. He made his exit through a
side door into the mud with the ath-
letic evangelist pushing and kicking
him amid great excitement.
THE incident occurred when the
service was about half over. The
rain caused an intermission In the
service as water came through h roof,
and when the intermission was over
1t was found that half a dozen men
had slipped past the usherS and were
In the building. Sunday asked them
to leave as he wished to resume his
sermon to women,
All the men left except the physi-
clan, who was again asked to leave.
No heed was paid to the e~vangelist's
request, it is alleged. Sunday then
leaped from the pulpit and is said
to have seized the physician by the
coat collar and propelled him rapid
ly toward q side door, vigorously ap-
plying the ministerial foot. AT the
door the physician is said to have
been showed out unceremoniously.
"The 10000 women who crowded the
tabernacle leaped to their feet in con
sternation and for a few minutes ex-
element prevailed. Sunday, however,
returned to the pulpit and soon the
women became quiet.
How many of you will stand by
me in case I am arrested for assault
and battery?' asked the evangelist

A DOLLAR FOR HAPPINESS.

-
The following from The Marshall
town, Ia.) Times Republican, under
the heading, Buy a Dollars Worth of
Gratitude. expresses the spirit Of The
Forum Good Fellow movement:
One of the easiest things a young
fellow does it to let loose of 81 for a
bit Of fun. A dollar isn't much and five
dollars aren't many. There are lots of
ways that a young fellow can get rid
of a SO bill. A few extra dollars on
the winter outfit, a trip to another
town, a short session some evening
when somebody proposed penny ante
or 3 cent points at rum" There are
lots of ways better and worse to make
q SO bill look like 80 cents. BY the
way, it might be mentioned in pass
ing that careless older persons find
the process quite as easy as the
younger fellows. The difference is that
they miss it more when the grocery
bill n other obligations show up on
the first of the month.
Now a couple of dollars isn't much
to a young fellow. Sure he can spare
them when Bill imparts the inform
alton that he is dead broke. But when
you figure out what q couple of dollars
would do if spent for the Christmas
pleasure Of a little child who has no
Christmas ahead 81 go a long ways.
Spent in toys they would scatter hap
piness over a houseful of lonely little
kids. They would buy warm under
clothes for an old woman. They would
feed a family of children we'll. Say,
young fellow, o haven't the remot-
est idea Of what you could do with a
couple of bones until you have tried.
Why two of those Iron men, spent
for a kids benefit and to make Christ
mas Christmas will last as long as
that child lives in a grateful memory
of the one who remembered him. Go
back over your boyhood and recall
some minor kindness lone you and
take note how you remember the man
and the deed. 1t was worth his while
expense, don't you think? Wouldn't
it be a good bargain for you to Gre
ate a place in some little kids kindly
memories, to find and touch a warm
spot in the wtthered breast of some
desolate old man Or woman? Isn't it
worth 81, or 81, or even SIS of those
dollars hat the boys let loose of
when they spend their money like a
prince? And honest, isn't 1t the most
princely thing on the face of the earth
to make some n happy and keep
alive in those who suffer their falter-
ing faith in human kindness?
Young fellow, trv it. It does. not
cost much. It's worth the chance.
Fact is that there isn't any chance
about it. 1t is a sure winner. Hunt
up somebody who needs you. Invest
81 or 50 in gratitude. You'll never
nave a headache or a heartache over
the investment.

first appeared upon the earth. The
answer made by science IL that the
exhaustion Of the coal deposits OF the
United states is centuries in the future
at worst. Long before that time en-
tirely new methods of obtaining heat
and power may come into universal
use.
1t may be possible to employ the
winds and the tides in generating
power, furnishing light and creating
needed warmth. Certainly the water
power of the country in rivers and
smaller streams will be utilized, in the
near future, to a far greater extent
than it has ever been employed in the
past. And there is always the hope
that science may discover some meth

beat upon the surface of the earth into
heat, light and power. in forms avail
able for human needs,
1t is known that there are forces
in the world which are entirely ade-
quate to replace the coal, the oil, the
wood and all other fuels used by man.
All that is necessary is to learn how
to harness and control them and make
them serve the purposes to which
mankind have been put in the progress
Of humanity up from savagery to
civilization.
