Suicide Did Not Get Letter.

Fergus Falls Journal: Winnifred
Davis, a young woman near St.
Cloud, committed suicide Wednesday
by taking carbolic acid. She had been
named Marlette. who was employed
on a farm some distance away and
had written to him from time to time.
The man for whom Marlette was
working misIaid one Of the girls let
tiers, and did not deliver it for several
weeks, and as she received no reply to
it, she became very Respondent. In the
meantime, the people with whom
she was living were placed under
quarantine for d~iphtheria,, and this cut
off further communication. The young
man passed the home two or three
evenings without giving any token of
recognition, and she came to the con-
clusion he was going to call on anoth-
err young lady and ended her existence
by taking the deadly drug.

From the dust of the weary highway,
From the smart Of sorrows rod,
Into the royal presence
They are hidden as guests. Of God,
The veil from their eyes is taken.
Sweet mysteries they are shown
Their doubts and fears are over,
For they know as they are known.
For them there should be rejoicing
And festival array.

Sweet hours of peaceful waiting
Till the path which we have trod
Shall end at the Fathers gateway,
And we are the guests OF God. a

Comparisons with previous months and
years are made.
7. The reports from the metal trades,
