An UnSung Hero.

In the American Medical Journal
for 1921 is a brief but significant item.
It says:
Henry Harrington Janeway, New
York; College of Physicians and Sur
geons in the City of New York, 1898;
aged At; a member of the American
Society for Cancer Research; attend
ing surgeon to the Memorial Hospital;
died February 1, 1921
DR.. Janeway died at As failure as
dollar mark men judge success. He
had spent years in poor and obscure
practice. He had a large family to
support. Timidly and with poverty al
ways haunting him he obtained a
chance to make cancer experiments
on hopeless cases. Before he died med
icaI science knew him as a genius.
A hopeless cancer case himself, DR.
Janeway fought against time to per-
feet his experiments. With the disease
boring into his skull and his face
carved away by repeated operations
he worked feverishly to test his the
cries and perfect them. At the end
still making that race with death, he
won. Death came but the quiet, timid
surgeon had made cancer slough
away and disappear in numerous cas-
es. Living tissues were not affected
The patients he treated are alive and
healthy today.
We still build costly and futile
things. spending millions on them
Some day we will buy radium, infinite
ly more costly than gold, to reprieve
thousands of death sentences. And
then the unsung hero will have his
monument.

No One Free From Worry.
Basil King.

Basil King, a man who worked his
way to fame and fortune after he went
blind in mature life, puts to shame the
millions of sound and able-bodied peo-
pie who whine over their hard luck.
Shut in on himself Mr.. King was
forced to find q principle that would
give some constructive sense to his
crippled life. Looking about him, he
saw no one was exempt from trials
and worries. All seemed affected by a
hodge-podge of vexations. Those who
had money and seemed fortunate
were as bad off as the poor. The
poor worried because they were poor,
the rich because they were rich. If
by any chance man was free of vex-
ations he went to work and manufac-
tured them. Even religious people re-
garded care as chastisement to
which it was wise to submit, seeing
there was no escape from it.
How Mr.. King solved the puzzle and
made his life stand up, contented and
constructive, is a long and interest
ing story. The significant part of his
experience was his triumph over
things that would make an ordinary
person an embittered misanthrope.

Scrut it0r.
Scrutator writes ably and vigorous
ly for the Chicago Tribune. His COM
ments on political. industrial, econo-
mic and social conditions are read
daily by millions. His thought is COM
nonsense and constructive. He hates
demagogs. He exalts honest effort He
says things will work themselves out
if left alone.
Yet Scrutator writes for the success
full public. There are people always
who have the gift of success. Their
life flows along through smooth and
easy channels. They see affairs we'll
adjusted as they are and consider it
wise to leave well enough alone. Scru-
tator tells these people the things
they think subconsciously but cannot

CHILLY" NOONANISMS.
(From the Baudette Region

The fathers of eighty-three stud
ients at the University of Minnesota
have been told that their boys
would be better at some trade than
trying to learn profession. That
shouldn't fill the souls of the
fathers with anguish. With car
penters getting twelve dollars day,
putting on shingles is more profit
able than putting one out.
A western woman is trying to
grab off a million dollars heart balm
in the courts from former Duluth
woman, claiming she stole her hus-
band away from her. A lo5 OF
wives would let their husbands go
for less than that.
Magnus was licked, but Governor
Preus will have to hold an onion
to, his eyes before any tears will
triekle down his cheeks.
A noted woman lawyer says a
woman can't really live without a
husband. Or with one.
You tell 'em that Magnus has
been licked. Some of them won't
believe us
With Magnus and Tom Schall
beth making speeches, the astonish-
ing part of the election was that
Mr.. Farrell didn't win.
There are more important things
than being out in the woods hunt
ing, but we can't think of any of
them right now.
Ted Christianson's friends are
not surprised, that he landed in the
Governors chair. All they wonder
g. is what detained him.
Some of the members of the leg
islature say they can't live on the
salary they get. The state would
be ahead if few of them would
quit trying.
A home. for down and out print
ers Is to be built in the south, and
unless you delinquent subscribers
pay zap we may have to engage a
suite in it.

Bloomfield Academy in 1915

Through the courtesy of Charles l..
Whittier OF Harmony, we have had
the pleasure of seeing a catalog of
Bloomfield Academy published in
1876. This is a little 4x7 pamphlet
printed by Moses Littlefeld, who
seems to have done about all the
job printing of this vicinity for some
years preceding the date given and
for several years thereafter. Moses
no doubt felt proud of this edition
and it may even be called creditable
for that time, but of course it would
not shine among the wonderful crea-
lions of the printing art in 1874.
This particular copy is not trimmed
quite square. being little wider at
the top than at the bottom and the
fellow who fed 1t into the press made
matters little worse by careless
registering, so that the lines do not
run straight across the page but have
a little slope toward the southeast
corner. Nevertheless, with these
slight imperfections, the little volume
Is rich in history and far more in
teresting to thoughtful person than
the most elaborate catalog issued by
our most pretentious educational in
stitutions of the present day.
It contains list of the students
of the spring term of that year. Sixty
six young gentlemen and forty
young ladies' total of 106. Among
these are many who afterwards made
names for themselves and for their
descendants.
Registered from Cornville was
Warner P. Whittier, father OF Charles
l.. Whittier. above mentioned. War
ner p. entered the Civil War and
died in Louisiana, near the city of
New Orleans, in 1868. Like many a
northern soldier, he succumbed to the
unfamiliar climate rather than from
the destructive efforts of the Confed-
crate soldiers. Among his COM
rades at the time were Horatio N.
and John Longfellow
Mr.. Whittier has some record of
his family connections but it is not
nearly as complete as he would like.
He would be pleased to hear from
others of the same family name or
their connections.

MOTHER ESCAPES WITH.
NINE CHILDREN

Madison, May 27.-The farm build
ings of George Yiger, three miles
from Madison ON the River road to
North Arson were burned about 10
o'clock Friday night. The fire caught
in the stable and it is thought II may
have started from spark from an
automobile as Mrs. Viger had return
ed from North Arson only a short
time before. Most of the furniture
was removed from the house and Mrs.
Viger and her nine children escaped
from the burning house safely. The
fire department was summoned but
could not give any help, as there was
no hydrant in the vicinity. The loss
on the house and stable is estimated
at $500 and is partially covered by
insurance Mr.. Viger is serving a
term in the county Jail for the viola
ton of the prohibitory law.
Sunday night about nine o'clock, an
alarm of fire was rung in from box
Is from smoke issuing from num-
Der of the Madison Wooden mill
house, occupied by John Landry. A
passerby seeing the smoke from an
oil stove Immediately rang in the
alarm without investigating the cause.
The firemen responded in their usual
prompt manner but their services
were not needed and in a short time
the "All Out" whistle was blown.
Monday afternoon about $3.50 the
alarm rang again for a grass fire on
Old Point avenue, which was quickly
extinguished.
