like TO study law, it had been arranged
for him. His father only said:
"Of all contemplate things, the
meanest is to make a son take up a
work which isn't his"
SO Jimmie studied law, then he went
into an office and moved upward until
he had been an assistant district attor-
ney in New York His brilliant work
had won him big reputation.
Life was so full of pleasures and
OF joys and of everything going on
smoothly. happily. And the last and
the greatest of all the happiness he
had known had been when he had
loved and found that he had won the
heart of Beth Gray
There had been only one incident
which. as Jimmie now looked back
upon his life. had at all made him
unhappy, and he thought of it but sell
dom now.
One of the boys he had liked best
at first at college, and who had had
many winning qualities, had turned
out to be the worst sort of a scoun-
drel. He had cribbed in examinations,
cheated in games. and used money
which had not belonged to him They
had rule at college by which the
student body could expel. and they
had expelled Arthur Cogswell.
Jimmies disillusionment In his
friend had been his only tragedy.
Never had he forgotten the look on
Arthur's face and the fiery red of the
long narrow scar over his right eye
when he said as he gritted his teeth:
Il know you're Irresponsible for this"
(Arthur often made VS. of his r's.)
And I'll get you for 1t some day, If it
takes me all my life"
Now 1t had completely gone out of
his mind. He thought only of Beth
and of being a success for her sake.
They were to be married In three
months. Beth was getting her trous-
seau and seeing about an apartment
and doing the many things she seemed
to feel it was essential to do before
getting married.
The only cloud now upon her hori-
zon was the fact that she was too
stout. and h4piness only seemed to
make her feel lazfer and more con-
tented which was all very well and
very pleasant, only 1t had added
goodly number of pounds to her weight
as the weeks went by. And she would
be happy and she would gain-and
Jimmie didn't like fat women.
She had heard of a doctor who was
famous for his diets, for making fat
people thin, for making thin people fat,

PLEASURE FOR THE CHILDREN
Excellent Idea to Let the Little Ones
Have a Table to Themselves
for the Feast
But what a revenge

Let US not forget the children on
Thanksgiving. Have separate table
for them. Let the oldest child act as
hostess. Cover-the table with one of
the pretty paper tablecloths with
Thanksgiving pictures.
For centerpiece build log cabin"
with stick candy. For a yard build
fence of the small stick candy that
comes In bottles. In the yard place
few small pine trees For place cards
have turkeys cut out of bright red
cardboard. Serve the same menu that
you do the grown people.
When placing the fancy paper nap
kins put an extra one at each plate
and when the children have finished
eating tell them that each one Is to
make a Thanksgiving cap of the nap
kin and put 1t on. Give a little box
OF animal cakes for the best cap.

STOMACH O. K.
Indigestion, Acidity, Sourness
and Gases ended with
"Pape'S Diapepsin"

Millions of people know that it is
needless to be bothered with indiges-
ton, dyspepsia or a disordered stom-
ach. A few tablets of Pape'S Diapep-
sin neutralize acidity and give relief
at once.
When your meals don't fit and you
feel uncomfortable. when you belch
gases, acids or raise sour, undigested
food. When you feel Jumps of indiges-
ton pain, heartburn or headache from
acidity, just eat tablet of Pape's Dia-
pepsin and the stomach distress Is
gone.
The cost is so little. The benefits so
great. You, too, viii be a Diapepsin

From the Tribune:
The entire community was terribly
shocked last Sunday afternoon when
the word went out that Lars Brensel,
one\ of the old-time settlers and one
Cf the most highly respected citizens
of Volga township, had passed away
suddenly. Mr.. Brendsel and two of his
daughters, Mrs. Hamrick, and Miss
Alma Brendsel were on their way 20
service in the Bergh church. While
passing the farm rented by Laurit2
Miller, the car slipped off the grade
some what Mr.. Brendsel and the
daughters worked for some time trying
to get the car back in the road and
being unable to do so, Mr.. Brendsel
went to the house to get Mr.. Miller
to assist him. In company with Mr.
Miller, he started back to the car and
when about half way between the
house and car, Mr. Brendsel suddenly
dropped to his knees and passed away
almost instantly, in all probability be-
ing dead before he struck the ground.
Will Bohlke and mother, who for
the past three or four years have been
living at Brookings, returned to the
old farm southeast of Volga last week
and are west side residents again. It
is needless to say that all of their
friends over this way are mighty glad
to have them here once more. Albert
Aslakson, who has been farming the
place for several years, has given up
farming for the present and will take
a rest for year.
