who died at st. Paul last week from
typhoid fever. Mr.. Arey was known to
hundreds of people in this northwest

than thirty years. Mr.. Arey was a
gentleman with all that the term i'm

A farmer living near town was mrkine
deposit at the Merchants Bank las,
week. He thought he placed his pocket
book containing about fifteen dollars in
bills and silver in his pocket. He had
on pair of overalls and instead he pu,
the pocket book between his pants and
the overalls. The farmer started for the
door of the bank but as he opened it he
missed his pocket book. 1t was not or
the floor and some people who were il
the thank passed out about that time
He naturally supposed that some one o.
these picked up the book. But of course
could not locate the party. After dinner
he was called to the store of a. D. Cavi
leer and handed the pocket book witt
the contents safe. The explanation i:
that puppy dog belonging to Mr.. Cavi
leer brought it in the store. The farmer
says that he has an indistinct reelection
of seeing the puppy pass in or out of the
bank when he was there. There is {
little Lesson to this. 1t is one of tn,
most common things for anyone WIT
misses or losses anything to think o.
say, somebody stole it, when perhap.
it was the puppy-or possibly just mis-
laid.
