Our Courtesy.

There is nothing which so exalts
and graces a man in the opinion Of
others as his politeness and consid
Grafton for his wife Instead Of being.
as some unfortunately feel it. unmanly
and weak. it is the highest type of
manliness. and to such service Of love
and respect the woman will invariably
respond with all the tenderness and
affection of her nature" says an au
thority on etiquette
What a splendid thing 1t would be If
every married man would take that
paragraph into his heart and model his
manner to his wife upon 1t!
One Of the awkward moments q
guest sometimes experiences Is being
a witness of a mans rudeness to his
wife. Sympathy for the woman. wrath
at the man and Indignation on her
own behalf-for rudeness to his wife
indicates the man would be discOurte-
GUS to all women II he dared-make
her contemptuous Of one so lacking In
true manliness. Fault finding about
food. criticism over small Oversights,
impatience over errors at cards-all
trivial matters that man should re.
gard as the accidents Of the moment
and rise above-make the spectator
wonder how the wife fares In the
privacy OF home.
Such things wound and humiliate
the wife and lessen her love. Yes.
they do. How can she believe in a
mans love who will not regard her
feelings in public at least? She laughs
them off-it is the only thing she can
door she passes them over in silence.
but she knows how other women re-
gard them. and she knows her hus'
bands stock Is going below par in
their estimation. and that hurts her
pride in him.

LEARN TO BE GENIAL.

There are many people who ex-
cuse themselves from the little famil-
iarities and kindnesses Of life on the
ground that they are not natural to
them. These people say they are
reserved by disposition and cannot
be free and easy in meeting other
people. But we can learn to row
a boat or to write shorthand or to
speak a new language. That un-
affected simplicity Of address which
made Ruskin 20 approachable to
child or man was the work Of a
long Gfe's discipline.

ISAAC BERG MOURNS THE CON-
PLETE LOSS OF HIS CASE AUTO
WHEN NO. 1O6 ON THE 500 PUT
1T OUT OF INESS-DRlVER
HAD NARROW ESCAPE.

Isaac Berg, who is employed by the
Case Co., nearly met death at the
500 crossing on First street Wednes-
day afternoon at / o'clock when the
500 passenger train, No. 106, ran in
to his $3.50 Case automobile, wreck
ing the machine SO that it is worth
less.
Mr.. Berg informs the Independent
that he was coming up the street care
fully, but did not expect to encounter
a train as the gates had not lowered.
He was within twenty feet of the
Main track when he saw the train
approaching. He applied the brakes
and the machine came to stop with
in foot or two Of the track. He at
tempted to back the machine, but the
engine was too near and caught the
front corner Of the machine, twisting
it all out of shape. The first jar
turned the machine partially around
and the engine gave the rear of the
auto another terrific bump. Mr.. Berg
was riding alone in the machine. He
escaped injury. This is a dangerous
crossing.
Mr.. Berg feels as tho he escaped
very luckily, but thinks the 500 ought
to come thru with the price Of new
car, at least.

away farm team had crashed into his
rig.
Mr.. Roach is lying at his home in a

sion of the brain and since the acci-
dent he has been unconscious. Two
doctors and nurses are with him con-
tinually and everything is being done
to save his life. His main injury was
cash over the right ear, caused by
his head striking the pavement.
Mr.. Roach was driving east along
First street when a pair Of large gray
horses owned by Nelson, a Drady
farmer, came tearing down the street
at high rate. The horses had be-
come frightened on Reishus street
when the bolster Of the wagon allowed
the hay rack to slide against them.
They ran east on First street, and
while the driver displayed lot of
nerve in trying to control his team,
he found it utterly impossible to stop
them. The Waverly bus got out of the
way of the horses just in time to es-
cape mixup. Several men, including
Fire Chief O'Leary, rushed into the
street and tried to stop the horses
but failed. Nelson guided them we'll,

M'GAhAN INJURED
BY AUTOMOBILE
OF THE DEMOCRAT
NEARLY LOSES HIS LIFE NEAR
BERWICK WHEN MACHINE
TURNED TURTLE - HARRY
BEAL PAINFULLY HURT.

L. D. McGahan, publisher of the
Democrat, nearly met with death Sat-
urday when his automobile turned
turtle, pinning him to the ground. The
accident happened about two miles
from Berwick while Mr.. McGahan and
Harry Beal were returning from a
hunting trip. The steering gear broke
and the driver lost control Of the ma
chine, which left the road and turned
over. Mr.. Beal was thrown clear of
the machine and his ankle was pain
fully sprained. He was able to get up
and managed to lift the machine, al
lowing Mr.. McGahan to crawl out. Mr..
McGahan has been belfast since the
accident, his back having been pain
fully injured. He will be all right in
few days.
The injured men were taken to Ber-
wick and came home on the train. The
machine was pretty badly broken.

JOSEPH ROACH VERY
SERIOUSLY INJURED

however, and attempted to pass Mr..
Roach's buggy, but there was not suf-
ficient room between that vehicle and
the curbing. One corner of Nelson's
hay rack caught Mr.. Roach's buggy
at the rear wheel, overturning it. The
buggy was smashed all to pieces and
Mr.. Roach was thrown heavily to the
pavement, beneath the pile of wreck
age. Walter Saunders, who has
charge Of the G. N. stock yards, was
riding with MI. Roach and he was al
so thrown out heavily, but suffered
no other injury than some painful
bruises.
Mr.. Roach was rendered unconscious
by his fall. He was picked up in an
apparently dying condition and car
ried to his home in bus, where he
has been cared for since. There were
grave rumors about the city that Mr..
Roach had passed away but happily
the report proved to be an error.
Nelson's team, after running into
Mr.. Roach's buggy, tore along to the
500 freight house, where the wagon
struck one corner of the building and
stopped. The horses went on. Mel
son was uninjured.
Mr.. Roach has been very unfortu-
nate in the way of accidents during
the past decade. Ten years ago he
was in the judges stand at the fair
grounds when that building collapsed.
At that time he nearly lost his life.
Eight years ago he was run over by a
farm team near the Second National
bank and nearly killed. Only last
summer an auto ran into his buggy
and his escape was narrow.
Mr.. Roach is 68 years of age and the
shock he received in Wednesdays ac-
cident is most serious. The doctors
in charge have made no statement ex-
cept that Mr.. Roach has fighting
chance to recover. His many friends
trust that this may be the case.

that he has ever visited.

ocese," Mr.. Sheffield declared to an In

had several other requests in both
North and South Dakota, but after

NURSES FEAR
JACK THE PEPPER
FORMER PATIENT BELIEVED TO
BE CAUSING TROUBLE FOR
THEM-SEvERAL HAVE ARM
ED THEMSELVES.

The nurses at st. Joseph's hospital
were startled Saturday night at late
hour when someone tried to enter their
home, located close to the institution.
It is said that former patient, a
Greek, imagines. that he is in love with
one of the nurses, who fears that the
poor, deluded fellow will attempt to
carry her away. Two Of the nurses
have armed themselves with automat-
ic revolvers and they bar their win
dows at night. If this bold fellow
persists in making himself obnoxious,
he'll get into serious trouble. The fell
low was plainly seen peering in the
windows Saturday night.
