Strenuous Work Develops Character
There is no woman i'm the Woman S
Christian Temperance Union who has
made a success OF her work but has
sacrificed time, money, comfort, and
in many instances life itself. If you
have ever followed the proceedings
of one of our great National Convero
tions, you have discovered that fact
You discern t in the address of the
wonderfully able, untiring President.
You detect II in the reports of hard
worked superntendents of depart

But with every effort made we give
our souls chance 10 find that rich

no development, and we are made
thereby bigger in soul and character.

Dying Of BURNS

Devils Lake, N. D., April 30.-Sixty
hours after the ceremony which made
Miss Ida Glinsdale of Minneapolis and
Frank Kuntz of Starkweather man and
wife, an accident occurred at the home
of the couple at Starkweather, Ram
sey county. which cost the life of
the bride.
In lighting a fire kerosine was used
by Mrs. Kuntz. There were evidently
some live Goals in the store when the
oil was poured in, for a terrific ex-
plosion followed. The woman was en-
veloped in flames, which burned all Of
her clothing. The only physician at
Starkweather was away and in order
to get relief the bride was wrapped in
blankets and rushed by automobile to

A. ! Personal Favor.

The first field glasses brought to the
New Hebrides sorely puzzled the sim
ple-minded natives, who. OF course,
thought them the product of wizardry.
In Islands Of Enchantment, Florence
coombs tells how one of the mission
clergy was walking along the shore,
when a native at his side pointed out
q tiny figure in the distance.
"There goes one of my enemies"
said he.
The white man, drawing out his
field glasses, and adjusting the focus,
handed them to his companion, who,
gazing through them in excited amaze
ment, beheld his foe apparently close
at hand. Dropping the glasses, he
seized his arrows and looked again.
The enemy was as far away as at
first. once more he snatched the magic
glasses, once more exchanged them for
his arrows, and once more was baf-
hed. TO lose such an opportunity was
hard indeed. A bright thought sud-
denly occurred to him.
"You hold the glasses to my eyes"
said he to the missionary, "and can
shoot him.

WELL KNOWN n. D.
BANKER Is DEAD

Grand Forks, N. D., April 3d.
Taken sick Saturday afternoon and
gradually growing worse, John Staub,
than whom there was hardly better
known business man in the southern
part of the county and in this section,
died at about o'clock Sunday after
noon, the direct cause of his death be-
ing uraemiae.
The deceased was presumably in
excellent health up to the time he Sas
taken i'll Saturday afternoon, and the
sad news of his death came as a
grievous surprise to his many friends
and acquaintances throughout this
section. His death followed so short
ly that 1t was impossible for his wife,
who was visiting in Milwaukee, or
his son, who is attending school at
the University of Colorado, at Boul-
der, to arrive here before grim death
knocked. Mrs. Staub reached home
last evening and the only son, Walter
]. Staub, is now on his way home.
John Staub was one of the earliest
settlers in Thompson, having come
to that place from Watertown, Wis,
in the late 70's. His business life
has according to those who knew
him well, been one of square deal
ing, in which he prospered, being
possessed of considerable property in
the vicinity of Thompson, in the west

FOOT MANGLED;
REMARKABLE GRIT

New England, N. d.. April 3d.
While discing in a field near Midway,
Thomas Ford met with an accident
that resulted in the loss Of a part of
his right foot, and the unfortunate
man also sustained several severe
cuts and bruises. Mr.. Ford was disc
ing for a neighbor when his team
became unmanageable and ran away
across the plowed field. He was
thrown in front Of the disc and had
one foot drawn under, but managed
by pure grit and strength to hold onto
the levers, which saved him from be-
ing drawn bodily under the disc.
The team circled about the field for
some time before Mr.. Ford could gain
control of the unruly horses. He
finally brought the horses to a stop
and extricated himself from what was
left Of the disc. Without help he un-
hitched his team and started for the
house.
He was taken at once to the New
England hospital, where it was nee
essary to amputate about one-third of
his right foot. He has two little toes
left and the heel and outside half Of
the foot does not appear badly in
jured. 1t was necessary to take sew
eral stitches to close cut in Mr..
Ford's leg. While the injury is seri-
Gus, Mr.. Ford is getting along nicely
and is happy to think he escaped with
his life.
One of the horses was so badly in
jured that it may be necessary to kill
the animal.
