he dropped the bag of money. prin-
cipally gold. in 1t for safe keeping.
His baby daughter was sick at the
time aud died within a few days.
The doctor forgot about the
money. When a clerk in the post
office told him that the funds were
$3.50 short he took the money from
his pocket and made up the short
age. the hiding of the money entire
ly slipping his mind owing to the
worry over the sickness and death of
his daughter.
Last week he had to moves his
books and decided to burn some of
them. He picked up several of the
books, shook them to see If there

FANS FOREST FIRE
CONDITIONS IN NORTHERN MIN
NESOTA STILL DANGEROUS.

Duluth, Aug. 19-With a rising
wind today the forest fire menace re-
turned in Lake and st. Louis coun-
ties. Scores of fires still burning
We're famed to new life as the wind
increased. A light rain last night
helped but little. So far, however,
there has been little damage and no
loss of lives. The only big damage
was reported at Cotton where five
shacks of road construction gang
and road building machinery valued
at $4,000 was destroyed. Every
body but the people in the fire scene
is hysterical and as result reports
often have been exaggerated. A
United Press correspondent drove
800 miles through the fire area yes
terday and today without finding
any reports of casualties or extens-
i've damages. Roadways are all open
and settlers are not worried. We
have this every year, they said.

in the right place" Monsignor Or
senigo bowed, and the matter was
closed.
The monsignor had hesitated for
conscientious reasons, not consider
ing himself fitted to deal with the
responsibilities of the position. But
the pontiff thought otherwise. and
thus disposed of problem which
for some time had caused specula-
ton in Vatican circles.
Monsignor Orsenigo's life, for the
past 25 years has been devoted to
works of charity. OF be torn from
the paths he had chosen for himself
made him hold back; he was per-
plexed by the possible difficulties of
a diplomatic post which has acquir-
ed special importance in view OF the
Russian conference recently held al

Usually the representatives abroad
of the Holy See are chosen from
among the young priests who have

localities by showers. Rain would
be beneficial in other parts Of ths

IN SIGHT.

Congress is disposed to follow
most of the suggestions made by

pected to refuse to sanction federal
control of coal, however.
