MUST LOVE THE LITTLE FOLK
Otherwise the Girl Who Adopts Pro-
fession Of Children's Nurse
Will Not Succeed.

The great essention for any girl
adopting the profession Of children's
nurse is that she must have a great
love for the wee folk, to be able to
enter into their feelings, to sympa-
thize with their sorrows and joys. A
child's nurse must not be a cynic.
She must know the Importance of lit
tie things to children, must know
that the molehills Of grown-ups are
the mountains of boys and girls. Now
adays the children's nurse must be q
comrade and companion as well as
mentor to her young charges, but the
latter role must never be over-e1hpha
sized.
1t is we'll, too, for any girl desiring
to become a nurse Of this kind to go
somewhere and obtain the proper
training for the position. 1t is q big
advantage when seeking employment.
Briefly, the nurse Of children must
be able to superintend the children's
health, their good, their clothes and
their lessons-not at all onerous du-
ties to the girl who is fond Of chill.

WAR VETERAN DROWNED
Joseph Couture of White Bear Found
With Head Under Inches
of Water.

White Bear-The body of Joseph
Couture, 20 years old, a Civil war
veteran, was found with the head i'm
mersed in seven inches of water in a
ditch near the Washington school,
White Bear. 1t is believed that the
aged man stumbled into the pool and
was too stunned to recover himself
before he drowned. The feet had re-
NAMED on the high bank, the posi-
ton being such as to render the man
almost helpless.
Couture was member of the Grand
Army of the Republic and supported
himself and wife as a wood sawyer
He had been seen as late as 1890 the
night before in White Bear village
and it is believed he was on his way
home when he fell. The warm
weather during the past few days
caused the ditch to gather consider
able water from melting snow, so
there was sufficient to cover much
of the body at the bottom of the de-
preston.

for ]. D. Mcmillan, 239 Clifton avenue,
from burning to death in fire which
partially destroyed the Mcmillan gar
age early Monday. The ringing of
the garage telephone awakened Eng
strom when his sleeping room was in
flames, and smoke had rendered him
almost unconscious.
Engstrom staggered to his feet with
difficulty, fell to the floor, crawled a
few feet and sank again. A tongue of
flame, darling over him, aroused him
to his danger. With an effort he
gained the door and fell into the yard.
Fresh air restored full conscious.

house, called the fire department:
The flames were extinguished with
loss of $500. The caretaker declared
he had no idea what could have
caused the fire. No automobiles were
in the garage.
Engstrom refused to give his faith
er's name, but said he had learned
that his father had called him by tele-
phone, thinking that he might be i'll
and need attention. 1t was the faith
er's call that saved the son.

'ERECTS 100000 BUILDING
POWER HOUSE AND HEADoUAR
TIERS PLANNED BY G. NJ.
Operating Over the Different
Hill Lines.

Minneapolis, March II. = Great
Northern construction plans for Min
neapolis, part of the work to start
within a few months and part after
the completion of the new passenger
station on Bridge Square, win put
nearly 100000 into two buildings
besides the cost of its new passenger
station. A power house 285 by 165
feet having a smokestack more than
200 feet high, will be built in the rear
of the station and on the river bank.

opened for traffic.
To Centralize Offices.
A building either two or eight
stories high covering the present site
of the OLD passenger station at Hen
nepin avenue and High street win be
erected, as soon as the opening of the
new station makes possible the razing
of the old one. In it will be housed
the express companies operating over
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific,
Great Western, Omaha, Northwestern
and Burlington roads. The building
will be strong enough for eight stories
and a plan is being worked out to
bring under the one roof the operating
and clerical departments of the roads
and express companies.
Gallery Half Mile Long.
A trucking gallery, sixteen feet
wide and more than half mile long,
will extend around the sides of the
entire terminal, from the track ends

the site of the present old station, a
total distance of more than 1000 feet.

Minneapolis. M. O. Hoglund and
Nels Larson were found dead in their
automobile repair shop at 720 Eleventh
avenue south. The bodies of the two
men were discovered by A. w. Hog
lund, a nephew of one of the deceased.
Gas fumes escaping from the engine
Of an automobile in which the men
had been riding are believed to have
caused their deaths.
Hoglund and Larson went at p. m.
to the repair shop where they had
an automobile belonging to r. j. Gag
ney & Co., contractors and builders
at TIC Eleventh avenue south.
AS nearly as could be learned, the
men drove away from the shop and

1O:30 p. m. A few minutes later they
were seen in the saloon of Oscar
Johnson, a half block away
Spent Night in Shop.
Deputy Coroner B. J. Shallett, who
made an investigation, is of the opin,
ion that the men then returned TO the
shop and decided to remain there rath-
er than return to their homes for the
night.
The door of the shop is a tight-fit-
ting wooden one and it is probably
due to this fact that the men are dead.
When A. w. Hoglund, nephew of M. o.
Hoglqnd, went to the shop at noon he
found the door closed. He received no
responses to his knocking, and then
kicked the door open.
Dead on Auto Seat.
He found the body of his uncle lying
on the back seat of the automobile
The body of Larson was lying on the
floor. Larson's hands were pressed
against his nose. He had bled at the
nose, ears and mouth.
An examination of the automobile
showed that the speed had been
thrown off, but that the engine had
not been shut down. 1t had run until
the supply of gasoline was exhausted.
The fumes from the engine filled the
shop when the bodies of the men were
discovered
