HERE AND THERE.

Time. Saturday afternoon, place,
GALAXY, Canada, scene, prize lighting
arena in the center of which is standing
minister of the gospel with uplifted
hand to emphasize and punctuate his
remarks The vast audience gives him
respectable attention because he is com
menting favorably on pugilism. He is
countenancing the sport as compatible
with Christianity and closes by saying
that he was once a boxer himself.
Twenty minutes later on the spot where
this minister stood, Lutte McCarty lay
gasping his last, killed by brutal blow
from Pelkey's fist and seven thousand
guilty, conscience stricken spectators
were snealking away from the scence of
barbarity. Is that preacher guiltless
before God2 Does Christ sanction his
conductl Would you say that he was
called to go Preach Christ, or to "Go
Pound Sand2"
Mrs. Fred Sabel is languishing in the
German Lutheran Hospital at Sioux
City following an operation for appendi-
citis. She is recovering nicely from the

took his wife TO this hospital he tarried
to have tumor cut from his shoulder
Fred proved himself of Spartan descent
by refusing to take an anaesthetic.
A number of nurses held him down
while the doctors carved out the OBJ
noxious intruder from his shoulder af-
ter which Fred rose, shook himself and
came home to his work.

hours the poor creature raved in spasms
so violent as to make it dangerous for
anyone to go near it, Then it quoted
down and stood still while the sweat
ran down its legs until its hoofs were
in, puddles. Finally it fell over,
Strengthened its limbs, quivered and
died.
The stork brought baby girl to the
Tom Crees home few days ago, thus
giving Mr. and Mrs. Crees four girls
and four boys. Just enough to dance
set, says Tom, but we are inclined
to think that the kids" will fun nish
the music to which Tom must dance.
The presence of inflammation and
venomous pus made the removal of
Walter Rube's appendix too dangerous.
However, the operation that was per-
formed is deemed all sufficient for the
boys permanent and complete recovery
At this date he is doing nicely.
So many demands for constitutional
amendments indicate progress and social
vigor. A nation that permits an anti
quated constitution to suppress growth
in new directions will become incrusted
with vicious conservatism anaultimate-
ly die in the shell.
