WHITEHEAD PREACHED.
Editor of Yankee Doodle Exposed by
Actor Acquaintance.

Editor OF Yankee Doodle Exposed by
Actor Acquaintance.
Michigan City Gnd) Dispatch: Wood
ford Ray, who is with the "Potash and
Permutter" company, tells a story on
Col. Ben G. Whitehead, editor of Yam
kee Doodle, that will be interesting to
readers Of that magazine. Col. White
head filled pulpit once-not as a
continuous thing, just once-out in a
frontier town in the northwest.
"Will Grow, an actor, had died."
said Mr.. Ray. ale had belonged to a
Knights of Pythias lodge in Iowa, and
he asked on his death bed for Pyth-
ian burial. The nearest lodge was in
another town, and Col. Whitehead was
it's chancellor commander. He came
down through a blizzard which pre-
vented the rest Of the knights from
making the trip. But there were rs
knights in that town. all long before
dropped from the rolls. Col. White
head formed a temporary lodge, ap-
pointed the various officers, and they
went to the church, which was filled.
The preacher didn't know Will Crow.
So he talked on general propositions
Of death without abiding to the de-
parted in particular. When he sat
down the editor of Yankee Doodle
arose. He knew Will Grow for years.
He had made up his mind that BILL
as he called him, should be given
decent sendoff.' and he got it. White
head told all the good qualities of the
dead actor with such sincerity, such
fairness, that a druggist there said
afterward, as the tears rolled down
his cheeks, that it was the damndest
best sermon he had ever heard. With
in 60 days that town had a Knights of
Pythias lodge of 100 members. But
Col. Whitehead retired from the min
istry that day."

Drove Back From Canada.

Andrew Eidahl and Christ Berget
arrived in Minot Saturday afternoon
on their way from the Canadian
Northwest. They drove thru with
two teams, travelling the 600 miles in
sixteen days. They were unable to
ship their effects out Of Canada, so
raked together all the property they
could, disposed of the rest at most any
price and started on their wearisome
journey. On their way here they trad
ed a pillow for an immense mounted
moose head which they proudly dis
played. They left Sunday for forming
township, where their families reside.
They are both mighty glad to get back
to the states, for conditions are not
at all favorable in Canada.

BOYS MUST BE BOYS.

Mrs. Ross was quite surprised to see
the chubby face of Jack Ingram, sturdy
boy OF ten, when she answered the knock
at the side door.

away, and he did not often bother her.

Country Clubs and at all places where smart

The rule is, however, to wear plain blouse with

Nowhere has the fad for pronounced color

delicate stripes or clocks are liked. With
