Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1920-06-03
FiftyYeArs Ago, 1870.

% Monday our people assembled at
the city hall, bearing bounteous supplies
of flowers for the decoration of the
graves of the brave men in our city
cemeteries who had given up their
lives in the late bloody conflict for
union and liberty After decorating
the graves Of nine soldiers, the company
listened to addresses aptly worded and
we'll delivered by Revs. Couch. Yale
and Trenery, interpreted with music
by the band and singing by the choirs
The whole affair was grand success
and an honor to our city.
The Primitive Methodist conference
assembled at ShullsburR yesterday.
We learn with regret that Rev. j. v
Trenary is not likely to serve this
station during the year.

DISH COVERS AS LIFE SAVERS
Practically Serve the Same Purpose
Now as That for Which They
Were First Used.

We have covers to our serving
dishes today for the obvious purpose
Of keeping hot the food that is being
taken or left upon the table. But to
no such prosaic use does the dish GOV
err owe its existence. The original Of
this article was no mere retainer OF
hot vapOrS. II was receptacle OF
grave and weighty portent of greater
dignity even than our adamantine
safes today For to its keeping was
intrusted more than the protection Of
mere riches-it held the safety and
l'fe Of a king
uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown" was particularly true in the
middle ages, when crowns were the
most transient of things. Every
throne had its pretenders and usurp-
ers and rriomners, who, other meth
DDS failing, often found ii eXpedient
TO remove the obnoxious incumbent by
poisoning him. For a consideration,
cooperation to this end could always
be depended upon from the personnel
Of the Kitchen
To guard against such premature
death an ingenious king conceived the
idea of dish covers. These were al
ways padlocked in the kitchen after
the chef in the presence Of a trusted
official. had tasted the food, and were
unlocked at the table by the steward
Of the household who there partook
Of the contents Of the dish before any
of it was served.
This precaution proved to be efiica-
cious. and dish covers were soon
adopted by all fearful monarchs and
mobiles. And they have come down to
protect US from what we in this unro-
mantle age fear more than poisoning

How Mr.. Lincoln received the news
When the news of the nomination was
received in Springfield, Mr.. Lincoln
was IN the State Journal office. A bow
came headlong into the room with a
sealed dispatch, which he placed in his
hand, Mr., Lincoln opened it and a
sudden palIor came over his features
He gazed upon it intently nearly three
minutes Then his customary smile APP
peared and he rose saying: ''Well boys,
there is a little woman down at our
house hoisinterested in this business, "
and he walked away without further
appearance OF agitation to inform Mrs.
Lincoln Of the joyful news.
People from the surrounding country
find they can save money by coming
into Mineral Point to buy goods, and
hundreds are almost daily availing them
selves of the advantages thus offered.

CHANGE OF
HEART
BY ELIZABETH WILLIAMS

90. 1929, by Mcclure Newspaper syndIcate1
The man shivered slightly. and
shifted his feet restleSsly. He wanted
to look at his watch. but that would
have meant coming out into the moon
light, and, just now, he preferred the
dark. Suddenly a girl appeared on
the snow-covered garden path. In the
cold, winter moonlight she looked like
the shadow of girl, and her slow,
almost cropping movement was like
that of a Sleep-walker'S. thought the
man who watched her eagerly from the
shelter Of the great tree beside the
gate.
As she approached he might have
seen that her large eyes were dark
with trouble and that one hand rested
lightly at her throat ms if she breathed
with difficulty The concealed man
failed to notice her distress, however.
"WellT' was his crisp, staccato ques-
ton as the girl came close to him.
She stopped suddenly at the sound
of the voice from the shadow
"ROnald?" she whispered. You
you frightened me-"
"WellY repeated the man, impa-
tiently.
"You know" queried the girl in
voice so low that it could hardly be
heard above the sound of the light
wind that cracked among the dried

the man impatiently. He told me this
afternoon that the doctors consider his
case hopeless and that he would like
to marry you on his doathbed so that
he might leave you his money-S100,-
600" He fairly purred the words.
"You accepted, of courseT

val such short time agoT
Ronald moved irriDably, then con-
trolled himself with an effort. "You
don't seem to understand Helen, what
this would mean TO me-to us" he
corrected himself. The marriage
would be mere form-a matter of
few hours at most Then you would
be free. We could be married, Just
as we had planned-but with what a
difference ~ he went ON eXcitedly, his
voice growing sharp with eagerness.

THINK TOO LITTLE OF HEALTH
Majority Of People Take No Precau-
tons to Avoid the Attacks Of Dis
ease Until Too Late.

There are number Of more or less
scientific attitudes on the subject Of
health. The first, followed by perhaps
most people, is to give no thought to
the preservation Of health or avoid
ance of disease and If trouble arises to
resort to drugs or call the doctor.
This Is a very careless attitude. The
second is to be very careful to try TO
avoid disease but pay no attention TO
the cultivation of general health This
is only half scientific. The third meth
cd is 10 cultivate general health on
the ground that disease cannot attack
q healthy body and~accordlngly to pay
little attention 10 avoidance Of dis
ease. This is better than the first two
attitudes but Is not sufficient, for Wig
orous people are not always immune
IA infectious diseases Indeed some
diseases. such as typhoid and inilu-
enza. make their most virulent attacks
on the strong and healthy. The fourth
and best attitude is "A combination Of
the foregoing. one should seek to pro
mote the very best condition Of gen
eral health and take all reasonable
precautions against disease. Then II
disease does come in spite Of all, a
doctor should be consulted and, If need
be. drugs may be used to help remove
obstacles in the way Of nature or tide
the person over crisis. Drugs should
never be depended on as o cure or for
habltuaI stimulus.
