When the "Helig Olave" of the

mighty happy passengers on board,

KILLED WHILE HUNTING.
Man Living Near Bonair Shot
Through the Heart While out
Hunting.

A shooting accident occurred at
Bonair Tuesday morning of last
week, when Geo. Friend, living near
there, was shot through the heart
and Immediately killed. ,nt-
Mr. Friend has been a great man
to hunt and for weeks has been
awaiting the opening of the chicken
season. Tuesday, Sept LIST the sea-
son opened and early in the morning
he and Lem Ens,ey and Ensley's two
sons, Cecil and Otis, struck out back
of Mr.. Friends residence along the
Milwaukee tracks. About 10 o'clock,
Mr.. Friend, Mr.. Ensley and Otis
started back for the house. Cecil
Ensley was not of the party as he
had been taken i'll and left them
early. These three were coming thru
one of the stubble fields belonging
to the Martin place east of Mr..
Friends. There is lane runs along
the line fence and it was while at
tempting to climb the fence that Mr..
Friend was shot. He and Otis Ems
ley were about to go through the
fence between two of the posts-Otis
near one post, Mr.. Friend near the
other.
Both Otis and Friend had stopped
to let the gun hammer down before
approaching the fence, and it was
not on account of carelessness that
the accident happened. Approach
ing the fence, Mr.. Friend placed his
gun over and leaned it against the
wire. He had hold of his gun with
one hand and with the other pressed
the top wire down Otis gun was
across the top OF the fence and he
was attempting to go through. The
wire of which Friend had hold slip
ped from his hand, bounded and
threw Otis gun into the air at the
same time discharging it. The gun
"a close range shot gum was whirled
from the force of the wire directly
at Mr.. Friends heart, and the
wound was a bad one, tearing hole
in his breast about inches in diane
ter and tearing away half of the
mans heart.
He screamed, turned and stagger-
ed from the fence, going about IL
feet and at the same time said, Lem
I'm shot, Mr.. Ensley was about 80
feet distant. He dropped his own
gun and ran to Friend but he was
already dead.
The accident is one that is deplor-
ed by all, and the entire community
was shocked.-Cresco Plain Dealer.

HOME AND SCHOOL.
Parents Should Make il a Point to
Visit the Schools Regularly.

The first .dayyef school, to the ma
Jority of mothers, is simply a time
when the youngsters must be pre-
sented at the school house, washed
scrubbed and mended. Responsible
ity for their welfare is turned over
to the teacher for the rest of the
term. The ordinary home takes too
little interest in school work.
Teachers do not hold one position
year after year as much as they used
to. They take low paid positions for
short time, then are apt to move
on and up or elsewhere. Under
these conditions, they may not know
the parents personally. Lacking such
knowledge there is little mutual help
fulness.
Another cause creating this break
is the fact that new methods are so
much used Formerly parent could
give the child good deal of help on
problems that bothered him. Now
the language of the text book and the
method of operation are apt to be
wholly new. Assistance rendered in
the home often leaves the child more
perpleXed than he was before. This
creates in the mind of the parent a
feeling that it is useless to interfere.
The less parents understand of
school methods the more they become
critical and suspicious. Hence the
many complaints that this boy or
that girl is not getting fair play.
Also the teacher is left with the feel
ing that the home atmosphere is hos
tile and will not back her up.
Parents should not take the ed
location of their children thus light
ly. 1t is not a matter merely OF
merchandise, which they buy with
their tax bills as they buy their gro
ceries. A little attention to a child
report cards and his tests may help
save waste of school privileges tha,
will afterward he a lifelong regret
1t takes but little time to drop in
at the school room 1t is scene OF
hope and cheer. Any parent will feel
younger for the visit, and may be
able to make some valuable sugges
tons.

passage home. Mr.. Wick sent a tic.
ket to her, but she didn't receive it
and was compelled to buy another
She was given assistance in getting
the ticket by Prof. elise ,Bothne, Of
Minneapolis University, or otherwise
she might have failed to secure pas
sage. Mrs. Wick is one who is GER
tainly glad she is an American citi-
zen.. as she had Mr.. vick's papers
with her and they were a wonderful
help to her. She brought back some
relics, among them a belt and white
waist her mother wore On her wed,
| ding day SO years ago. Another rel
ic she took with her was "Grante
Dye" wooden pudding tub, which
the natives used in taking puddings
to weddings.
Mrs. Wick met Mrs. Pat Roman
and son in Valdres. Mrs. Roman was
in runaway accident there and was
quite severely hurt, but was getting
along nicely at the time of Mrs.
Vick's visit to her.
When Mr.. Haugen went to Nor
way c. o. Hagen sent large Amer
lean flag with him to Carls home. 1t
proved to be the only one in that
township where Carl's folks lived
and they had a great time at their
July Fourth celebration, giving Old
Glory the place of honor, and it is
the place she deserves SO well. On
Mr.. Haugen's return he brought
home with him tailor's measure
book, used by Carl's father in 1872,
giving names of customers, measure
ments, ETC., and also leather poe
'ket book made in 1874, belonging to
an uncle. They are old relics which
Carl prizes highly.
Mr.. Haugen visited Norway three
years ago, and of course the country
was very familiar to him, and he en-
JOyou iIio FloiI FCiy ihuNh. III IdSI
he fieshed up considerably, and un-
'doubtedly was feeling like his young
er self. At any rate he looks it, for
he is minus the moustache he has
worn for the past 20 or 80 years.
Some of his best friends and old Gus
toners didn't recognize him at first
sight, and he has had many pleasan-
tries since arriving home, over the
fact of losing his hirstute appendage.
When a man has worn mOustacne
as long as Mr.. Haugen, friends for
get just how he really looked. The
accompanying picture of Mr.. Haugen
is a reminder.
Most of the DEBORAH and Winnie
shiek county people are back from

rived yet, but some of them are on

are Gilbert Soland and Mr.. Hagen,

Mrs. Pat Roman and son, Miss Even
