Oriuin of Picture Postcards.

Picture postcards originated on the
continent of Europe, probably in Ger
many and Austria, where the enter
prising hotel keepers at the various
spas of those countries induced their
guests to<send them ito their friends
as memehtoes, with shrewd idea Of
advertising their hostelries. At any
rate, artistic postcards gradually be-
came popular in Germany, France and
italy and other countries of continen-
tai Europe. They were introduced to
the English-speaking people by the
firm of Raphael Tuck & Sons, London,
who were hindered at first by the
British postal regulations, which would
allow only a small part Of the card
to be devoted to picture or view:
Since then picture postcards have
spread all over the world. They we're
first used in this country about 1897.

Sank Centre---Its Traditions
and Its Life

enemy in the world" said pioneer
recently. "The community loved and
honored him, but for all of that, ne
died a poor man. u.
"A man of high moral courage and
deep affection for his neighbors, the
hand of this pioneer physician was
ever ready to render assistance. The
doctor was a man who practiced for
the love of his profession and man.
kind, and as such, only too often be-
came the brunt of evil tactics on the
part Of the INSCRIPTIONS. Many an
account in his favor was left unpaid
and many a night the doctor made
long and tiresome journeys through
the surrounding country for which ne
knew he would never be paid for in
material way.
But nevertheless, the doctor was
true to his responsibilities and re-
CARELESS of consequences, never failed
to administer to the needs of the
people among whom he had chosen to
make his home.
One of the interesting features in
the life of DR.. Palmer was that of his
dog "Don" and his horse "Wilder.'
Both of these animals were regular
factors in the doctors life and medi-
cal career and both were apparently
sensitive to their Importance.
The dog "Don" was the self ap-
pointed guardian of his master, anC
always accompanied the doctor on his
long night drives. On stormy night
when passage over the roads was al
most impossible, Don would lead the
way. Running ahead of the horse
"Wilder" with which the physician
made his rounds, Don would act as
guide in the night. The horse woulc
follow Don's trail without hesitatine
and between these two faithful beasts
the doctor seldom had difficulty il
returning to his home through {
storm in the night.
Don preceded his master in death
but Wilder outlived his owner anc
was awarded a place of honor in the
funeral procession on the day thai
his master was laid to his final rest

An interesting story told of the

in schools and in farm kitchens. In
Louisiana 274 cottage-cheese demon
STATIONS, 207 butter-making demon
STATIONS, and 236 demonstrations on
milk products were made, and 26
meetings were held. AS result, 2,698
families were reported as using more
milk, 17S cows were brought in where
there were none before, "a boys and
girls clubs we're organized, and much
improved dairy apparatus was pur-
chased.
In South Carolina the activities re-
suited in the increased use of milk in
1884 families and in the purchase of
73 family cows. Sixty demonstrations
were given in butter making and 3S in
making other dairy products. The
work in Mississippi resulted in placing
322 family cows in IL counties and in
the purchase Of 2,040 pieces Of i'm
proved dairy equipment. Dairy clubs
were organized in II counties, 40 meet
ings were held, and 76 demonstrations
were given.

Among the regular" patients OF
DR.. Palmer's, was woman whose
only claim to medical attention was
tempermentaI disposition and an
occasional spasm of pure, unadelter-
ated cussedness.
On these occasions and while ex-
periencing a "tantrum" she would
take to her bed, and as means OF
further inflicting punishment upon
her husband, would demand immedi-
ate medical attention.
During one of these calls, the
doctor sensed the cause of her aill-
ment, and taking advantage of the
situation, soused his patient with 3
bucket of cold water while she lay in
her bed. Angered to a point where
she could no longer control herslf
the patient" aroused herself from
her "sick-bed'' and followed the at
tending physician to the door while
she gave vent to her ardent and
somewhat dampened opinions. The
woman, however, was apparently
cured of her periodical troubles ano
never again found it necessary tc
summon medical aid.

Untreated cancer means a mortality

Sank Centre, like all other pioneer
communities in the early days, strug-
gled along many months without eff
ficier, medical aid for it's ailing set
tiers.
1t was true that there was doctor
at St. Cloud, but the way was long
from st. Cloud to Sank Centre and IN
most instances, the sick of the COM
nunity were attended only by such
remedies as they knew of and by that
always evident factor in every locality
the unprofesional doctor of all Ills
and ailiments-the local quack.
One of the most important features
in the carly history of the hamlet,
was the coming of the first profes-
sional physician, DR.. Benjamin Z.
Palmer, to Sank Centre.
DR.. Palmer was a native of the
state of Maine who had settled in St..
Cloud in 1856 and who during the
war, served as an assistant surgeon
in the army.
In the capacity of an army surgeon,
DR.. Palmer first came to the troops in
the Sank Centre stockade in 1862 and
remained in the military service until
1896.
While acting in this capacity, the
doctor also looked after the needs OF
the community along medical lines.
He was discharged from the service
and Immediately took up his residence
in Sank Centre.
Building home on the north side
of the Sank River on the site of the
present residence property of William
Parker, DR.. Palmer founded his home
and his office.
There is probably no man ever lived
who was a more powerful factor IN
the welfare of the community than
was DR.. Palmer.
Alone in his profession, his duty
was not only confined to caring for tn
ills within his community, but he was
called upon to administer to the medi-
cal needs of a population scattered all
the way from Sank Centre to st.
Cloud and north to Long Prairie.
Kind and considerable of his fellow
men-always ready and willing to
oblige those who called upon him, DE-.
Palmer built for himself a monument
in Sank Centre which can never die SO
long as there remains a man or a
woman who is familiar with this mans
endeavors.
