watched the man curiously; saw him
drop the skin and tiptoe toward the

Young sandy's shrewdness.

There is a lad in certain Scot
tish town who is noted for his shrewd-
ness. The other day he was sent by
his father to neighboring public
house with the following order:
please send to our house ten doz-

Now, it so happens that one OF the
publicans faults is propensity to
poke his nose into other peoples bust
ness, and so when he had read the
order he could not help calculating;
"Guid gracious. laddie, and what
ever is yer fether gaun tae dae wi

For moment Johnnie was puzzled,
knowing that his father wouldn't like
him to exactly tell the truth. Then an
idea occurred to him and he quietly
replied;

The Two ordeaIs.


Meantime Lal Singh was hurryinp

toward Simla, more than thousand
miles away. He was happy. Here was
the long delayed opportunity for the
hand of the British raj; a captive
white woman. What better excuse was
needed? There would be armed
Sikhs and Gurkas and Tommies near
Rawal Pindi. Al! how time moved,
how fate twisted! How the finest

arms Of the British raj-assassinated

world!
Ahmed remained hidden in the ba-
zaars, to await the ordeals. Nothing
should harm his mistress; he was
ready now and at all times to lay down
his life for her; In this the British raj
came second. He had sent courier
to Bruce Sahib's bungalow but the
man had returned to report that 1t was
still unoccupied.
And while he bit his nails in futile
wrath and smoked till his tongue grew
bitter, some miles away there was
much confusion in the Jungle by the

Editor II. E. Roethe, of Fennimore

Editor FL. E. Roethe, of Fennimore,
who is a candidate for governor, hav-
ing been challenged by some of the
administration explainers to give
some specific instances where he would
inaugurate reductions in state ex-
penses, published in his paper last
week schedule of where he thinks
the axe might be proftably employed
and a saving of over five millions of
dollars effected. While his proposal
is in some respects overdrawn there is
much in it worthy of most respect
full consideration and many things are
pointed out that might we'll be
adopted at great saving to the
people, without working any injury to
the state. And more than that, we
believe the people intend to see to it
that much of the present extravaganza
shall have an end put to it. Prof.
Adams the imported statistician and
official explainer, not long since al
luded to the criticism by the taxpayers
over high taxes as ''barbaric yawps,
but the agitation now existing among
the state officials and others who are
asking for special session of the
Legislature to cut down appropriations
and taxes for next year, indicates that
they have more wholesome regard
for the |'yawpers now than they had,
and realize that they have to do some
thing to square themselves with the
aroused voters. But they are getting
started at it pretty late.

San Diego, California, will be the

San Francisco will not have the only

have one, too, and already many of
the exposition buildings upon it's
grounds are nearing completion,

day also celebrated the completion of

ton of the San Diego Sun, sent by

A Chicago concern is sending out a
show company called September
Morn, evidently patterned after the
painting of the same title, which
pictured young girl, perfectly nude
;shivering in the edge of a pond,
preparatory to a swim, the wide
discussion of which, it is expected,
has furnished an abundance of free
advertising for the show. This attrac-
ton was billed for appearance at
'Sheboygan, Wis, this month, but the
theatre management inspected the
show at Chicago and decided that
while it might do in the big city it
was "a little swift for a place the
size of Sheboygan. There are
about sixty people in the cast mostly
young women, and the play is describ-
ed by Chicago critic as IAN oriental
salad with little dressing.

At Rest in Heaven.

Another hand is beckonlng US,
Another call is given.
And glowS once more with angel steps,
The path which reaches heaven.
The death angel steps into the home
and in his pathway reveals the flowers
that are blossoming UNDECIDED.
Encompassed with the cares of this
world, the little buds of Immortality
springing up are seldom noticed or
their heaven borrowed tints and
celestial fragrance admired until
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1914-04-08

suddenly they are trodden down by the
relentless foot of the great DESTROYER,
and then, oh, then how sad the loss.
What is lost yea and what is gained?
The flower has bowed its frail head,
but in dying has perfected its lowell
ness, and breathed odors from the
land of infinite delights.
Quickened by the touch of sorrow
gives the knowledge of vanishing
beauty. Like incense from heaven it
penetrates every being, helping life to
grow stronger within US.
Heaven becomes a reality; faith
with cleared vision looks in upon the
unseen and eternal, and brings peace
and love to the sorrowing soul.
The earth receives upon her bosom
the falling blossom, but yields to us
the undying fragrance of the crushed
immortals.
Ora and Nell Kinney were bowed
in grief and their sorrow seemed all
they could bear when their little son,
Donald, was so suddenly called from
earth three months ago, but in three
weeks later his little sister, Dorothy
was taken i'll. All that friends and
medical skill could do seemed power
less to save her. After intense suffer-
ing from ulcers of the stomach she
passed away Thursday, March &c,
1914.
Donald and Dorothy Kinney were
born April 2, 1912 and for the short
time they were with their parents
they were the light of the home filling
the hearts of their parents, brother
Harold and sisters, Pearl and Ivanelle
with joy and gladness, and now they
are gone none can feel that they
sinned in loving them too well.
The funeral for little Dorothy was
held at the home of her grandmother,
Mrs. Mary Taylor, in Lancaster, hav-
ing been there during the past few
weeks that she might receive the
closest attention from the physicians.
Rev. Beavin spoke words of com
fort to the friends and relatives after
which she was laid to rest beside
little Donald in the Boice Creek
Cemetery.
There is reaper whose name is death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grains
And the flowers in between.
Shall have naught that is fair,
Have naught but the bearded grain?
Though the breath of these flowers is sweet
tome
Twill give them all back again.
And the mother gave in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love.
She knew she would find them all again.
In the fields of light ana love.
Oh not in cruelty. not in wrath
The reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the earth
And took the flower away.
To all who paid tribute in kindness
and sympathy during their illness and
sad hours that attended the death of
their beloved babe; for the comfort
ing songs and to all of the friends and
organizations for the loving thought
in sending the beautiful flowers, Mr..
and Mrs. Ora Kinney wish to express
their heartfelt thanks. A Friend.
