OLD ACQUAINTANCE RENEWED
Two friends Meet in New Tim After
s lS ssd OF No; 81 81

Have you the Sherlock Holmes faculty
for remembering faces or not? # the
latter is the case, would DR.. Watson's
assistance be Of any benefit to you in
recognizing an old time friend whom
you had not met for over twenty-one
years?
Regardless Of your ability to carry a
mental imprint Of those you meet during
the journey thru this vale Of tears an
interesting episode took place at the
Setter House one day last week.
A. L. Rice, successful farmer living
near Hanska, was in town on court
business and j. D. Brubacher, a travelling
shoe salesman, with headquarters at
Window, was in the city in the interests
of the firm he represents. They met at
the above hostelry, Mr.. Rice being the
first to discover that they were old time
friends. At that, he was not any too
positive and exercised little diplomacy.
Walking up to Mr.. Brubacher, Mr.. Rice
said: Pardon me, but ] believe / know
you?" A mutual glance and the reply
was: well, if you remember Jake you
are correct
1t is almost unnecessary to add that
the two gentlemen spent very pleasant
evening together, the retrospective view
recalling many incidents that brought
forth a laugh and others that caused
shadows to temper the joy.
The last time the two met previous
to the incident mentioned above was in
1896. The acquaintance was formed
originally in 1885 when Mr.. Rice en-
gagged in the genial pastime of tilling the
soil near Window and Mr.. Brubacher
was employed as head clerk by John
Hutton who conducted a general store
at that place. The friendship was con-
tinued up to 1896 when Mr.. Rice moved
to his fathers farm in Albin Township,
this county, where he has since resided.
About that time Mr.. Brubacher took a
position on the road. Mr.. Rice has re-
tired from active farming and for the past
few years has been taking his quota of
unalloyed joy out of life. In that time
he has travelled thruout the west and
northwest. Mr.. Brubacher is still in
harness and confesses that he expects
to remain there until Gabriel plays "toot,
foot" for him, all of which is another
why the young men should
stick to the farm.

MINNESOTA WHITE WAY TO
BE DIMMED AFTER XMAS.

As part of the fuel saving plan of the
government, the white lights along
Minnesota street will be dimmed after
Christmas in accordance with orders
received from the fuel Administrator.
This order extends to all Minnesota
cities having. these lights, and it is
expected that a great amount of fuel
will be saved by the decrease Of con-
sumption of electricity.
Another measure for the conserva-
ton Of coal has been issued to the
fuel dealers who are forbidden to sell
coal to farmers OF others who have
wood lots.

New Years Eve in a happy whirl at

annually at the Firemen's Ball. All
preparations have been made for a big
event and everyone is looking forward

their particular institution, the New

CHRISTMAS DELAY.

Owing to the fact that Christmas falls
on Tuesday which is press day at the
Review office, the paper will not reach
readers until day later than usual,
next week. We believe that our sub
scribers would prefer to have their paper
come to them day late rather than that
we should be obliged to overwork the
employees in order to get it out day
earlier. At any rate, we are taking it
for granted that that is the sentiment
which prevails at Christmas time at least.

NEW ULM A SUMMER RESORT
Alex Waibel Cuts Short His Trip to


Alex Waibel, one Of the best known
farmers in Brown county, and who re-
sides about ten miles southwest Of New
Ulm, arrived in the city Friday evening
from trip to the extreme northern part
Of the state where he has extensive IN
teres Is. Mr.. Waibel left here when the
temperature was normal and was greatly
surprised on reaching Warroad, situated
on Muskey Bay to find the Thermometer
registering twenty below and better.
After spending few days in that vicinity
he took trip across the line and on ar
irving at Winnipeg was amazed to find
that the heat there registered forty be-
low.
Alex had no disposition to linger there
at that temperature and, transacting
his business as quickly as the exigencies
of local conditions and the neither end
of the tubular globe would permit,
headed south, knowing that upon his
arrival at New Ulm he would find
climatic conditions that would appeal
more strongly to his personal comfort.
Mr.. Waibel reports that the northern
part of-the state is practically free from
snow. However, upon his arrival here
he was delighted to see Mother Earth
covered with mantle of white as it is
emblematic of the feelings he cherishes
for and hopes are reciprocated by his
legion of friends IN this vicinity. 81
Regarding crops in the northern part
of the state Mr. Waibel had this tosay
Speaking generally the oats crop in
that section was failure and the same
might be said of the wheat harvest with
this exception: there were some good
yields but the latter applied to those
farmers who got their seed in the ground
early and secured the advantages Df
the rains that came too late for the
average farmer. The same holds true
Of the potato crop. Understand that
section is practically speaking potato
country and those who were willing to
plant early and take chance with Jack
Frost reaped bounteous harvest, and
this despite several heavy frosts- that
mpped the tops. But the underlying
fact is that the roots had got a strong
toehold and the drouth that followed
was minor deterrent compared to the
troubles of those who held off from
planting until all danger of frost was
over, only to find that the ground was
SO devoid Of moisture that the sprouting
was slow. At that, the people are pros
porous, contented and working hard TO-
keep warm. The latter reason is why /
hurried home"

The helmets are described by ex-

rather ornate French headpiece.
The United States helmet is consid-
cred a big improvement over the
German article.
The German fighters wear a very
heavy helmet which is proof against
Bhrapnel splinters and bullets in q

wear q much more artistic steel hat,

the German headpiece, and lends a
