Two colored women started yes

foot of Wilkes street for the purpose
Of Willing away the second half of
Labor Day fishing. Fish didn't bite
however, and while they were await
,ng 'nibbles" they began to quarrel
over man who happened to be close
tv. The women had taken positions
on a sunken scow and the quarrel be-
coming acute, they dropped their
rods and grappled. One OF the com"
battants grabbed her antagonist by
the top of the head and pulled out
all her hair at one swoop. 1t proved
to be wig, however, and was dashed
overheard with contempt. The couple
clinched, rolled each other over and

The man who had been the in.

and endeavored to part the women
but they fought like wild cats, ant
he could do nothing with them. First
one and then the other was the I'M
der combattant. when the woman whc
was temporarily getting the worst
of the punishment shrieked pitcously
as her antagonist was sinking hel
teeth in her breast. She managed tc
shake off her tormentor when both
rose to their feet and rushed at each
other again as ticresses. The mill
however, was drawing to d close and
the women eventually ceased TO clinch
Still quarreling, but greatly eX-
hausted, the combattants gathered
their fishing tackle, left the scow
and approached the man who had
been a spectator Of the fight. Each
took ore OF his arms and the trio
sauntered slowly up the hill, the Wo-
men with their tears and smiles
ringling.

is supposed to have been his. Evi-
IDENTIFY he walked out Of the hotel and
vanished, and no one has found any
trace of him since he signed the hotel
register oyer month ago.
The above article was taken from
the Sioux City Journal of Dec. 18th.
Mr.. White and family came up here
from Iowa about a year ago and oc-
cupied the Swenson farm at George
Lake until September when they NOV
ed to this village. He left here on
Oct. % with his family for Manson and
other points in Iowa, where they were
to visit relatives for few weeks.
E. T. Reamer received letter from
him Nov. 2 from Pierre in which he
said he expected to be up here in a

pointment and with whom he was
making business deal. He failed to

Unselfish
Mother Love

Mother Love is one of the most
sacred things in the world. 1t
prompts the mother to give her
strengtl1-her life eve11-gladly-
happily-that her child may be safer,
happier, stronger or better in every
way.
Just food-specially prepared to
aid in making red blood and strong
healthy tissue-is what she needs.
Then all the natural functions of the
body will be easily carried on with
out the least sense of fatigue or
drain. With plenty of red blood in
her veins, mother will feel no i'll
effect from nursing baby.
HEMO will aid mother in supply
ing baby with a quantity of good
quality milk and at the same time
improve her general physical condi-
ton. When it is impossible to nurse
the baby, secure the food most
nearly like mothers milk by asking
your druggist for Thompson's Food
(Peptonized).
We suggest that you try-a Soc
package with our guarantee Of

preacher was descanting on the power
Of religion, and, in illustration, he told
of two wicked young men In that
state, who were drinking and gamb.
ling on Sunday morning, when one
said: II can lick the religion out OF
any Niger
The other would bet one hundred
dollars that he had niger out of
whom the religion could not be licked.
The bet was taken and they adjourned
to a yard. This unique niger was
summoned, and proved to be a poor
old man. His master informed him he
had a bet on him, and the other party
commanded him to "curse ,Jesus!" on
pain of being logged until he did. The
old saint dropped on his knees before
his master, and plead for mercy, say
ing:
"Massa! Massa! l cannot curse
Jesus! Jesus die for me! He die for
you, Massa! no curse him; / no
curse Jesus!" -
The master began to repent. In
babyhood he had ridden on those old
bowed shoulders, then stalwart and
firm, and he proposed to draw the bet,
but the other wanted sport and would
win the money. Oh! the horrible de-
tails that that preacher gave OF that
days sport, of the lashings, and faint,
ings, and REVEALS, with washes or
strong brine, the prayers for mercy
and the recurring moan!
II no curse Jesus, Massa! l no
curse Jesus; Jesus die for me, Massa;
die for Jesus?"
AS the sun went down Jesus took
him. and his merciful master had SOLD
a worthless niger for one hundred
dollars. But, the only point which the
preacher made, was that one IN taVor
of religion. When it could so support
niger, what might it not do Tor
one of the superior race?
For months l saw every day boy
who could not have been more tnan
ten years old, but who seemed to be
eight, and who wore an iron collar
with four projections, and a hoop or
bail up over his head. This had been
mt on him for the crime Of running
away; and was kept on to prevent a
repetition of that crime. The masteS'
who thus secured his property, was
an Elder in the Second Presbyterian
church, and led the choir.
The principal Baptist preacher own
ed and hired out one hundred slaves; ;
took them himself to the public mart,
and acted as auctioneer in disposing
Of their services. The time at which
this was done, was in the Christmas
holidays, or rather the last day OF the
Iyear, when the slaves annual week OF
respite ended.
A female member of the Fourth st
Methodist church was threatened with
discipline, for mailing her cook to the
fence by the ear with ten-penny nail
The preacher in charge witnessed the
punishment from a back window OF
his residence. Hundreds of others
Witnessed it, called by the shrieks Of
the victim; and his reverence pro
tested, on the ground that such scenes
were calculated to injure the church.
