o slTUARY
THOMAS w. MARSHALL.

The death of Thomas w. Marshall,
briefly mentioned in this paper last
week, occurred on the 31st day of De-
cember, at $3.50 in the afternoon. The
immediate cause was peritonitis. On
the Goth day Of December, while wait
ing in Breckenridge for his train to
leave, Tom was making some minor
repairs on the caboose. In some man.
ner he knocked the skin of the knuck-
les of his right hand. The first sign
Of sickness, following this, came. on
the 22nd of the month, as he was
making a trip from this city to Breck-
enridge. He was so i'll on arriving at
the following day. For nine days he
spread from his hand, rapidly thru
out his body, until the end came on
the last day Of the year. His brother
able to reach his bedside before the
end came.
Thomas Weir Marshall was born on
the 10Th day of August, 1891, in this
city, and he made his home here thru
out his life. His education was Sc
cured in the grade schools Of the city.
After finishing the eighth grade, he
determined to quit school, and enter
ed the employ of the Republican Ca
zette, where he learned the printers
trade. He stayed there for four
years, until he became of age, at
which time he entered the service of
the Great Northern Railway, serving
one year as a fireman, after which he
was transferred to the train service,
as freight brakeman. He remained
with the company in this capacity un-
til his last illness.
Tommy, as he was Familiarity called
by all who knew him, was a young
man Of true Christian character, re-
spected and admired by all with whom
he associated. He was of cheerful
disposition, and had habit of look
ing on the bright side of things. His
love for his sisters was very deep, and
he was very much attached to his
step-mother, and in his last illness,
her kind words and presence at his
bedside, consoled him more than
words can express. His mother died
when he was five years of age.
He is survived by his father and
stepmother, a brother, David W.,
working out of Grand Forks, sister
Margaret B., working at Detroit
Mimi; three half sisters, Marion, who
attends the Moorhead Normal school

He was a member Of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen.
The funeral services we're conduct
od 1oct Wednesday, from tho h0usa al

| ian church at two-thirty. There were
many beautiful floral offerings to tea

ceased was held.

Satisfied With Your Job?

In the American Magazine writer
says
Trimming over the lives Of the men
had known In business, l discovered
this curious fact: Around thirty or
thirty-lve their careefs began I'M
missakably to divide into two classes.
Most of them had given promise of
success. They had moved along about
as I bad until they had reached an
income of $1,000 or $1,000 There half
OF them had stopped; the other half
seemed to take fresh grip on them
selves and forge ahead even more rap
idly. Why had the first group stopped?
1T wasn't lack of ability. So far as
l could see, the men in the two groups
didn't differ greatly in talents, nor was
it lack OF opportunity. 1t was nothing
more nor less than this-the first group
had become satisfied; familiarity with
their jobs had bred contcntmcnt and
contempt. They had settled down in
suburbs just as had; they were happy
with their children; their Jobs were
easy for them: they were at peace with
the world; they had ceased to strug-
sic, which means that they had ceased

and walked over to the woman. What

famous for its baked potatoes. At the

at which the baked potato was the

All these successes have been based
on simple little trick.
A potato should be larded before be-

ATTEMPT TO ROB BANK
Burglars Failed to Blow Open Safe
at Brandon.

Brandon, Feb. 13.-When the EN-
ployes arrived at the First National
bank this morning they found that
the banking rooms had been ransack
ed during the night, the contents OF
the desks and cupboards being strewn
about the floor, and that three holes
had been drilled in the door of the
vault. The burglars, for there were
evidently two of them as disclosed by
tracks in the snow, were apparently
frightened away before they had time
to blow the safe. Nothing, with the
exception of revolver, was missing
The burglars gained entrance to the
building by breaking pane of glass
and smashing a wooden panel in a
door at the rear of the block, giving
them access to "a bar with which the
door was fastened. From the rear
room, which is used for coal and stor
age, their way was again blocked by
another barred door. This was also
opened by smashing a panel and re
moving the iron bar.
Once In the banking room they
made thorough search for valuables
going through all OF the desks and
drawers.
Three holes were drilled in the out
er steel door Of the vault before they
succeeded in striking the lock No
explosives were found, the only
articles left behind by the men being
an old night shirt. Had they succeed
ed in opening the outer door they
would have found three other doors
which would have to be blown open
before they could have gained access
to the funds of the bank.
The rear door TO the bank which
the men entered is near the sidewalks
leading up Seminary hill and can be
plainly seen for a lCng distance vi

EUROPE MAY BE BAREFooTED
Pair of shoes Lasts a Soldier Only
Six Weeks.

rope is not improbable If this war
continues said John F. Stucke, vice
president of the American Chamber
OF Commerce in Italy and general
manager OF an American shoe mach
inery company. in an interview con-
corning supply and business condi'
tions met by Americans abroad.
AT the present time a pair OF
heavy mountain shoes lasts a soldier
but six weeks he said These
shoes have their heels and soles stud
ded with nails at that. The shoes
are largely made in Italy but with
American machinery and American
leather, and the quality of the mater
ial is OF the best we can furnish, but
that quality is, of course, inferior to
that sold before the war When mail
ufactured by the hundred thousand.
these shoes cost, the government
about four dollars each. But the sup
ply IS always behind the demand.
since materials arrive very slowly
from America. On one ship. the Pal
nero. which was torpedoed in the
Mediterranean, OFF the coast OF Spain,
in early December the material for
nearly a half million pairs OF shoes
was lost.
THE retail store trade in Italy is
now Obliged to pay nearly seven dol
lars wholesale for shoes that before
the war cost three and half, and 1t
Is probable that American shoes will
be selling in Italy soon for ten and
twelve dollars the pair. The Ameri-
can shoes. because Of their shape and
lit. have long been the chief product
on the market here, and particularly
since the war, as the handmade shoes
cannot be made quickly enough.
