R. K. Munsell, of Franklin, IS years
old, a stock buyer, saved his life Tu-
esday afternoon by grabbing the pilot
of an engine after it had struck and
killed valuable horse he was riding

fully but it is not believed his injuries
are serious. He lives at Franklin,
MINI. "a

winning horse at the Minnesota State

ago, Great Western tracks in the
South ST., Paul yards, his view was
INSTRUCTED by train.
AS he came out from behind the
car, second train speed by. The
horse reared and the engine struck its
legs, throwing it in front of the train.

L. w. Doe, president of the college,
and p. o. Holland, business manager,

penters' shop, which were in the
chapel, also were destroyed with a
large amount of equipment.
Faculty members made plans for
taking care of students in the gym
nasium and parlors in which social
functions were held, pending the form
ulation of other plans.
Investigation thus far has failed to
reveal the cause of the blaze, but it is
believed defective wiring in the attic
may have been the cause. The fire de-
partment was unable to get sufficient
pressure to force stream to the roof,
which fell in.
The radio station, Veal, maintain
ed in the building, has been discon-
tinued for the present.
Insurance of $4,000 was carried on
the building, while the pipe organ was
insured for $4,000.
The building was erected in 1906

The Christian world is in the midst
of serious agitation along the line OF
Bible doctrine, even as the material
world is tossed to and fro by economic
questions. Our church has a duty
along lines. We would reach the heart
of the trouble on both lines.
True religion is not thing of doc
trine nor of eager and intellectual
speculation. 1t is the tie that binds
the life on earth to the Infinite and
Eternal Life beyond the Veil. Hence
our effort to help where help is most
needed, both in Church and State.

Road Opened.

]. F. O'Meara, road engineer for
Redwood County, states that the
bridges on State Highway Number 4,
better known as the Sanborn road are
now completed and the road open for
traffic. For the past few weeks two
bridges have been out and it has been
necessary for autoist to make two
detours. The concrete construction
in these bridges has been in for the
past week or more and the dirt filling
completed so that cars may cross the
bridges any time after Tuesday night.
This means that visitors to the Red
wood County fair from the south, will
be able to come by their favorite all
graveled route.

Control Your Tongue.

In the book of Proverbs there
are observations about avoiding
causes of quarrels says the Hurley
Miner, and Solomon says "A word
fifty spoken is like apples of gold
IN pictures of silver"
Be discreet in words. Dom
dwell upon bygone troubles. Don't
talk about i'll health or sickness.
Nothing is worse unless it is the
actual endurance of these afflic-
tions.
Talk happiness: talk faith, talk
health. Say you are we'll, or all
is we'll with you, and God shall
hear your words and make them
true
Self-control in speech is one of
the most important things in life
one of the cardinal virtues. The
happiness of many a fair life is
ruined by want of power to sup
press the word of bitterness, con-
tempt or anger, even under what
might be called reasonable provo
cation.
And then in regard to the alb
sent ones. Never allow yourself
under any circumstances to criti-
else any member of your family,
not even in conversation with your
dearest friend. And in regard to
your friends. Do you know that
one of the hardest things that
men say about women is that their
talk is largely gossip? And of
what does this gossip consist? The
latest scandal. Unkind words about
persons whom they might greet
with the warmest profession of
friendship if they were to come
Iii a moment after the gossip end
ed.
Do not malign your absent
friends. What is friendship worth
1t the moment the person is out
of sight the tongue that has pro
fesed affection becomes a poison
fang, and the lips which gave the
kiss utter words of ridicule? Re
fuse to let your ear become the
graveyard of another's reputation
There are times when keeping still
is wisdom; it is love; it is Chris
t1anlty. Learn to control your
tongue.

rncO0ers Story of Indian Duel

Indians; the ponies names wore
trlcked out with ribbons and al
together 1T was like one of those
ancient tournaments in France
First the ponies were driven
side by side one or two times in
a circle around the council nlace
Then together the duelists and
their friends started out for the
place of encounter, SWIMMING
their horses across the river and
felnlng up on an open spot on
the north side. Crude flags were
hung on poles which were stuck
up IN the sand round about an
Indian sign that a fight to the
death was in progress.
Indian guards were placed 10
clear a ring of 200 or 300 wards.
Heading these guards were Chenoi
and Seeb-wasen. A little outside
the ring, all alone, stood the girl
who was being fought for, ap-
parently Indifferent, her arms
akimbo. The time was an hour
before shutdown and there were
present 400 or 500 whites and Tn.
dians. My father and Juneau
who were there and saw every.
thing, often described it to thei,
children.
"One of the duelists wheeled tc
the right, the other to the left
Then they brought their horses
sideways close together, head tc
tail, tail to head. Either Chepoi
or Seebwasen cried in Pottawa-
tonne, Time is up! Ready"
AT this each fighter instantly
drew his green handled bowie, full
20 inches long. AS they rushed
together there was a frightfuI
hubub among the spectators. Ju.

Let Politicians Keep Off.

Farm regions, where depression
has been the order in recent years
and is still the unfortunate situa-
ton to a considerable degree,
should not fail to note what a real
farmer said at an agricultural
gathering in city a few weeks
ago. Our condition is bad" he
said. But it is the politicians
who are doing most of the COM
planning about it. They are try
ing to capitalize it for their own
advantage. The farmer wants
justice, but not pity. And it is
mainly pity he has been getting.

Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village sm1thy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
He fixes bum brake bands.
His hair is crisp, and black, and
long,
His face is done in oil;
His brow is wet with honest sweat
On a crank shaft he must toll.
Week in, week out, from morn till
night,
You can hear his klaxons blow;
You can see him rushing out to
give
Some stranded guy tow.
And children coming home from
school
Look in at the open door;
They love to see the smith at work,
And hear the patron roar.
On Sunday he goes not to church,
Nor sits among his boys;
For he must work all day and help
