Compound Interest
Has Earned More Than Speculation.

If you don't believe that compound interest has earned more money than speculation call and inquire or write to this bank, where money at interest is better than high-grade stocks or bonds. It earns as much as safe se- curtties, and the value of the principal never fuctuates: your money is al- ways worth 100 cents on the dollar, and your funds are always available.

Morrel of Putnam for flowers from the insol- vent debtors greenhouses. The doctor had a contra account against Arnold and had furnished the fertilizer for Arnolds horticultural achievements and the sheriff was determined that the bill against the Putnam physician should never get into hands that would force Dr. Morrel to pay a single cent and that item will undoubtedly be presented to the doctor as a souvenir of the transaction.
 Of more amusing interest still was the bill due Arnold of John Doe. of- fered for sale for eight pounds of but ter amounting to s4S0. There must have been some class to Arnold's herd of Jerseys to have commanded 50 cents a pound for butter, the simling creditors thought and there was no one to find the dairy epicure John Doe and this account could find no bidder.
 Judge Bowen adjourned the hearing to next Saturday, Jan. 25, to look over the books before he will drop down the curtain on the last scene of these bankruptcy proceedings. The common creditors will have to live in hope that Arnold's promises to recoup and pay all creditors in full may come true.

His Work Of Sacrifice
BY HUGH KELLEY

The press announces the death OF
associated with Father Damien in his
work among the lepers of Molokai, and
who, after the death of Father Damien,
took upon himself the care of these
helpless ones. About four years ago
he was stricken with the disease, but
continued his labors until the end.
Last year very interesting memoir
on "Damien and Dutton" was written
by Edwin E. Woodman, of st. Paul, a
few months before his death. The
writer first became acquainted with
Mr.. WOodman when he was civil en-
gineer on the Madison division of the
Northwestern and so had charge of the
work of putting the tunnels through
the hills north of EIroy. Our ac-
quaintapceship, however, ripened and
broadened in after years while he, in
company with John I'll. Powers, pub
lished the Baraboo Republic.
Dutton and Woodman lwere lifelong
friends. I copy the following brief ex-
tracts from the above mentioned
"Memoirs::"
"Dutton's scholarship, his business
training and aptitude, fitted him for
immediated service as quartermaster
sergeant in an office whence were
issued all articles of military use; in
volving large responsibility and cor
respondingly extensive and accurate
accounting. He was so facile in the
discharge of these important functions
that it early led to his promotion TO a
lieutenancy in one of the comp anies,
with more strictly soldierly duties,
and where he served with distinction
during the civil war. For a long time
after the peace be remained in the ser
vice of the quartermaster's depart
ment, collecting the bodies of our scat
tered dead and relaying them in
national cemeteries. This strictly
historical chapter of Dutton'sIlife may
be read in the records at Washing
! ton.
And now I come to a surprising
mental change in him, state to be
approached only with delicacy OF feel
ing, if at all, and / take the shoes
from off my feet to mark it as holy
pr0und For there is no SanctlGV
| higher than mans religion, his re-
larion to his Maker. Here was New

and education, of austere purltanlt

This firm has reputation for good
goods and the orders commenced to
roll merrily in. The results astonish
them. The people evidently take to
the new innovation by the govern

merchants in the home zone.

training, whom we find upon the
career of soldier, novice in mon
astery, having been received into the
Catholic church in 1883 by the Domini-
can Fathers of Memphis, Tenn. A
year or two later, after humanitarian
service in New Orleans, learning of
Father Damien's work, he self-exiled
himself to Kalawao, going secretly and
in poverty to uphold the falling hands
of Father Damien, name now resOund-
ing ia every land where heroic sacri-
fee by man for men is appreciated
Such rapid and profound changes are
so much matters of temperament as
to be difficult of comprehension by
persons of less spirituality than is a
subject of them. I am thus hampered
myself. The rich pageantry and SYM
bolism of the Catholic church do not
deeply affect me and perhaps never
would have done so; though more
probably this is because was reared
in colder school of sinners and did
not feel it's cultural power at an emo
tional period. But buttons mind
must have been naturally pathetic to
it, otherwise he could not have been
swept away in burst of sympathy
into the same martrydom with
Damien; in a spirit, 1 confess, inn
measurably beyond my own strength
of sacrifice. And though lack share
of brotherhood in the august Roman
Catholic church, am not paynim to
question the authentic truth of a
religion that produces such heroes.
When the former lieutenant, Ira b.
Dutton, re-christened Joseph by the
church, arrived at the leper settlement,
Father Damien was already stricken
and with but a short reprieve from
death. The volunteer for the Union
and now for the work of Damien, at
once closed with his opportunity for
human service. He cared for Fathe r
Damien until the end of his sacriicial
life and rounded his grave under a
tree where he first preached to the
lepers. He now harnessed upon him.
