GERMAN FIGHT ON VERDUM
BRINGS FEAR TO FRENCH

Germans succeed In capturing 1t, they
almost a straight front from the Disc
to Metz. This would give them line
of communication through Luxembourg
and Metz and permit them to regain
the ground lost when the Crown
Princes army was forced to retreat
from Ste Menhould to Montfaucon.
Many experts believe the attack on
the German right wing in an attempt
to sever the German lines of commu-
nication into Belgium is the crisis of
the battle of the Aisne. The indica-
tons today are that they were mis-
taken and the crisis of the conflict Is
along the Mouse.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-That the des-
perate attack of the Germans on the
line of French Notifications between
Verdun and Toul on the river Mouse
is bearing fruit In indicated by the Of

in MEMORIAM.

George Wesley Cole died at his
home in this city Sunday afternoon,
December 10th, aged sixty.one years,
one month and one day, after an Ill.
ness covering several months.
He was born at Gilboa, N. Y, No.
vember 10Th, 1858. In 1878 he moved
to Saline, Michigan, and in 1881 he
came 70 North Dakota and took a
homestead in Barnes county, near the
line Of Steele county, where he made
his home until about six years ago,
when he moved to Hope.
In 1888 he was united in marriage to
Miss julia Webster. Two daughters
were born to them.
During his residence here Mr.. Cole
has given valuable service as a men,
Der OF the City Council and the Board
of Education. He also was an active
worker In the Commercial Club, and
always willing to put his shoulders to
the wheel and help along any move
ment for the good of the city. This
characteristic also marked his life in
the community where he had previ-
ously lived.
In January, 1908, he became a men,
Der of Occidental Lodge, A. B. & A.. M.
and was IN ardent Mason up to the
time of his death.
He il survived by his wife and
daughters, Olive and Emma; a bro.
Their, Frank, at Colgate; a sister, Mrs.
Rmma Pratt, and a brother, CHARLES
O., both Of Clinton, Mich.
The funeral services we're held Tues
day afternoon at the Congregational
Church. Rev. Hitchcock preached a
splendid sermon, taking his text from
Revelations. He dwelt at length upon
the city built "four-square," giving
its general application to modern cit
les, and then showed how the de-
ceased's citizenship had done q great
deal to put our own city and commun.
ity upon the square"
Occidental Lodge then took charge
Of the service and the solemn Masonic
burial service al conducted in a very
impressive manner by the W%orshipful
Master. r. W. Ehred. The brothers
OF the lodge then escorted the body to
the cemetery, where interment was
made.
Many beautiful floral offerings were
made BY the friends and relatives of
the deceased, and the church was filed
to its capacity with those who desired
to pay their last sad respects.
The bereaved family is not alone in
their mourning. The whole city
mourns. The family has lost a kind,
loving, self-sacritoing husband, ia
Their, brother; the community has lost
a citizen of sterling quality. He has not
lived in vain, however, for the exam
pies he has set and the good he has
done will be remembered and their iu-
1uence felt for years to come.

In olden days there existed II
many places a belief that the girl
who was not kissed under the
mistletoe during the Christmas
season would not be married
during the succeeding year. In
such localities kissing a girl

all men the earth around could

this time they have received
about $500 more for their cream
than they would have received
without the organization.
The home may be so poor and
squalid that the word is a misno-
mer, yet if there are children
within it's doors it is a certainty
that stockings will be pinned to
the mantlepiece Christmas eve.
And what a tragedy it would be
were Old Santa Claus to neg
lect these ragged appeals to his
generous heart, every hole of
which adds a silent emphasis to
the pathetic trustfulness of the
little ones to whom they belong.
But thanks to philanthropio in
situations and philanthropic per-
sons, the Door girl and poor boy,
wherever the hand Of charity
reaches. are assured that the
ragged stocking will not be ig'
nored and that Christmas will
indeed mean something to them
as we'll as to the children more
favored of fortune.
