the older residents of Milbank,
and as he is a little deticientmen
tally his friends here tried to
persuade him to leave the money
in the bank, and check what he
needed, but he would not be ad.

what was feared by his friends
would come to pass at the time
he drew his money from the bank,

with him on his person since
he drew it from the bank last

Obituary.
Miss Jennie Pride Passes Away at
Her Fathers Home in this City.

Jennie Mable Pride was born
in Cerro Gorlo county, Iowa,
April IA, 1880. On Sunday even
ing, May 5, 1912, she quietly
passed away to join other loved
ones in the heavenly mansion.
Nine years ago the family
moved to Milbank The past
few years the deceased made her
home with a sister in Minneapo-
lis, but one year ago the dreaded
lung trouble fastened itself upon
her and she came home think
ing the change would help her;
she rallied through the warm
weather and her family had
strong hopes of her recovery,
but gradually she failed as the
cold weather came and the open
ing spring can have no welcome
for her.
She is survived by her father
and mother, two brothers and
four sisters, who mourn her loss.
She was very patient and un
complaining through all her sick
ness.
The funeral was held at the
Methodist church Wednesday
afternoon, and was largely at
tended by friends of the family
There is no death; an angel form
Walks DER the earth with sileut
tread,
He bears our best loved ones away
And then we call them dead.

MISSION FOR NON-CATHOLICS.
Father ONiel Urges Everyone to At.
tend the Services Beginning
ON May 18th.

In presenting his compliments
to his numerous nOn-Cathollc
friends in and around Milbank,
Father O'Neill issues to them a
most cordial invitation to attend
the services at St. Lawrence 8
church every evening during
the week beginning May 13,
where Catholic doctine from a
Catholic point of view will be ac-
curately and fully expounded in
clear and concise language.
1t is we'll to know both sides of
question before passing iudg-
ment upon it, hence it is right,
and only right, to understand
catholicity as Catholics under
stand it. When a sensible man
is deeply anxious to get at the
truth on any point he simply dis
cards reports and gossip and be-
takes himself to headquarters.
The live newspaper that wants
a correct account of an affair
does not pick up and dish out
street rumors, but dispatches one
Of it's best reporters to the scene
of the event TO interview the ac-
tors themselves or the immedi-
ate eyewitnesses. 1t is an axiom
that everyone is to be trusted in
his own art, otherwise express
ed by mo one knows so well
where the shoe pinches as the
wearer. Frenchmen are the
best masters of French, pilots
the best steersmen on the riv-
ers; and Catholics ought to know
catholicism better than non-Cath-
olics. To know Catholics then
as they wish to be known is the
reason Of this invitation to Fa
ther O'Neill's warm. hearted non
Catholic friends:
The subject matters to be dis
cussed during the week are as
follows:
Monday, May BIS One Re
ligion as Good as Another. =
Tuesday, May 14-"What Cath
olics Think of the Bible
Wednesday, May 15-''Why dc

near the door and everybody is
invited to use it freely. Write
your question briefly, place it il

the same evening. The lectures
will be carried on in a friendly
spirit, no controversy, no abuse

EARLY USE OF ICE SKATES
Holland Conceded to Be Birthplace
OF Skating and Undoubtedly First
Practiced There.

To "necessity's sharp pluck" not to
a desire for amusement, says the
New York Evening Post, we owe the
invention OF skates and their early
use. Holland is conceded to be the
home and birthplace of skating. and
1t was undoubtedly first practiced
there and In the far north.
In country Of lakes and canals the
necessity of walking and running on
the Ice must have been felt from the
earliest days. and, indeed, they were
found In one Of the mounds OF which
Friesland village was built. The
skates were fastened to the feet by
straps passed through holes made in
the bones. A Danish historian men.
tions the sport in 1874.
The bone skates were also the kind
first used In England. Fitzstephen,
In his account Of the amusements of
the young people on the ice in Lon.

twelfth century, notes that II was usu.

animals under the soles of their

ankles. and then taking pole, they

for this plucky, energetic little woman
who had such unbounded faith in her
good-for-nothing husband, and was
ready to fight all alone in his defense.
Eyeing her with renewed interest, he
demanded:

Annie reached the door, and draw
ing herself up to her full height,
turned and said:
I'm going to undo all you have
done, Capt. Clinton. I'm going, to free
my husband and prove his innocence
before the whole world. don't know
how I'm going to do it, but I'll do 1t.

never known-a world of opulence
