IN MEMORIAM.

In sad, but loving, remembrance of
my dear grandson, William Everett
Custer, who departed this life Septem-
Der l, 1928.
AS the shades of night were falling
The angel Of death was lowering near,
Came and claimed the soul of one so
dear
For William had answered the angel
call.
In the sad and narrow home
Lies sleeping beneath the verdant sod;
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
Where none ever wakes to weep.
You have crossed the river cold
To that gate that stands ajar.
The angel came and opened wide the
golden gate
And welcomed our loved one home.
God wanted another precious jewel
The one we priced so dear,
To shine in His mansion fair,
More radiant and bright.
You were so kind, with manly hopes

in view:
Your home is sad and lonely now;
Your chair is vacant, your steps will
never come
No one can fill the vacant place.
You have left mother dear;
God only knows her grief and tears,
And often on her pillow stain
With tears Of relentless grief.
All our hopes are vanished,
Like the flowers that fade and die,
But small, still voice is saying,
Courage, mother, we shall meet again.
On that bright and peaceful shore,
To that home so free from care,
We will meet our William there
And palms of victory we shall wear.
So father, mother, sisters, dear,
Gods promise is to you and all,
That He will heal the broken hearts
And give US grace to bear our grief.

HARRIET A. BLOCKER.

Plato pictured the soul under the
figure Of a many-headed monster, a
lion and a man, combined in one form
The man represented the higher ma
ture, the reason; the lion the passion
ate element; and the many-headed
monster the lusts and appetites,
The picture is as true today as when
first presented. The lion and many
headed monster exists in every per-
son. 1t can only be changed by the
love of the Christ, by which the lion
is made to be as a lamb

A MARYLAND NAVAL HERO
OF The WAR OF 1912
Commodore David Geisin"~~ a..
of Trio to Wiz
-. sword for
Bravery.
Bravery.
BY Herman F. Kraft,

In the Baltimore Sunday Sun
A hundred years ago the Legisla-
ture of this State voted to present a
sword to each of three Marylanders,
naval heroes of the War of 1872. On
the blade of each one are etched the
battles of the Wasp and the words.
David Geisinger Fiio forti to fedli
Maryland dedit. To Captain Geisin-
ger, then in Philadelphia, went this
letter.

The sword, thus awarded by the
State of Maryland to Commodore
Geisinger was doubtless cherished by
him through many years of faithful
service in the navy. A decade or two
ago it was presented to the Naval
Academy by one who signed herself
Helen Geisinger-perhaps a daughter
of the commodore. The other naval
officer mentioned in the above letter,
Joseph Smoot, also saw many more
years of service in the navy suisse
quent to the presentation to him of q
sword by the Maryland Legislature on
the same occasion, and of both Of these
officers the navy has for some years
been trying to locate portraits. If any
reader knoWns of a descendant of
either, he will confer a favor by send
ing the name and address of such rel
ative to Prof. H. F. Kraft, curator Of
the Naval Academy Museum, Annap-
oils, Md, who is interested in seeing
what these two brave sons Of Mary
land looked like.
David Geisinger, who entered the
navy as a midshipman in 1909, distin
guished himself in the War of 1872,
war from which have come down our
most cherished sea traditions. Early
in this conflict the Constellation, IA
nous Maryland built frigate, was
blockaded at Norfolk by a British
SQUADRON In a boat attack on her,
June %, 1913, a accompanied British
barge, appropriately called the Cent?
pede, and commanded by a natural
son of George ", named Hanchett,
was captured by Midshipman Josiah
Tattnall, David Geisinger and BIaden
Dulany. The attack on the Constella
ton failed, and she lives to this day
the oldest ship afoat in the navy.
The next year the new Wasp, third
of the name in our navy, started out
on her career-the most daring COM
merce raider in this era of bold sea
raiders. Blakely was in command and
/ Geisinger was one of the midshipmen.
The British sometimes say that they
do not feel their navy is on the job
unless it is out of sight of the shores
of England, while the same authori-
ties assert that Americans do not
feel their navy is doing its duty UNI
! less it is in sight of American shores.
The Wasp and the other American
briggs of 1912 took up their stations
about as far from home as possible,
mostly in British waters and at the
focal points of the enemy trade routes.
The English naturally made every
effort to destroy these pesky Wasps
and Hornets. On June 28, 1914, His
Majesty's sloop of war Reindeer, COM
manded by one Of the bravest officers
in the British service, William Man
ners, had a sharp set-to with the
/ Wasp, which was heavier in tonnage
and gun power. Manners paid no at
tention to his first wound. A second
shot through both thighs brought him
to his knees, but he was up again in
stantly with the words, Follow me,
my boys; we must board" Spring
ing into the rigging he was killed out
right by two bullets fired simultane-
ously by sharpshooters in the Wasp's
topmasts. Then Blakely in turn led a
boarding party, and the Reindeer
hauled down her flag, With picked and

CHEFALO

There have been many persons who have pro
claimed themselves to be the highest divers in the
world but we are convinced that these same people
would surely hide their heads in shame after one
glance at the lofty ladders used by Chefalo for his
ladders tower high in the air that it seems as
though they must touch the clouds
In place of the usual tank for landing place
Chefalo uses only ridiculously small net thereby
increasing the hazard of his dangerous undertaking
tenfod.
Thr-seekers cannot afford to miss the startling
stunts of Chefalo The Master Sensatonalist.

From this resume of Commodore
Geisinger's career it would appear
that the awarding to him Of gold
mounted sword by the Maryland Leg
isIature a hundred years ago was a
well-merited honor, rejecting credit
alike on the giver and the recipient.
Commodore Geisinger died in 1860,
having rounded out a career Of half a
century in the navy.

months. His second term as chancellor
began in March, 1928 when President
Won Hindenburg asked him to form q
cabinet to replace that of DR.. Marx.
News of Dr. Mueller's operation came
as distinct surprise to his friends
who knew he had been i'll but did not
know his condition was serious. He
improved Slightly during his first few
days at the health resort but last We'd
nesday took sudden turn for the
worse. 1t was decided then to take
him to the Heidelberg University Hos
pital for an operation.
Lieut.. Gen. wilhelm Groener, min
lister of defense, has taken over the
duties of the chancellory temporarily.
Frau Mueller arrived at the bedside
of the chancellor today

was going down and his pulse was
good.

ABILITY AGAIN
is RECOGNIZED
Coulter. n. ID. Farm School Chief Since
Winter, Now to be Chief
Tariff Economist.

DR.. John Lee Coulter, a nephew of
A. Coulter who lives south of Bruno
and former Minnesota boy has prov
ed his ability to do things and in the
course of the past few months, he has
been twice recognized. Early last
winter he was appointed to the presi-
dency of the North Dakota Agricul-
ture college at Fargo, N. D., and now
comes the announcement that he has
been chosen as chief economist of the
Federal Tariff commission. He will
begin his new duties about August
31st at which time his resignation
from the agricultural college will
take effect. The new position in
which DR.. Coulter will be placed is
one of great responsibility as he will
have charge of the tariff experts and
investigators of the government and
it will be his duty as much as is pos
sible, to place the tariff on a scienti-
fic basis.
DR.. Coulter was born on a large
farm near Mallory, Mimi, and attend
ed grade school there. Being raised
on the farm and having made study
of the agricultural situation during
the greater part of his life, he will
have no little bearing on the future !.
of the farm-aid problem.

SIX LOG CABINS
AT MIDWAY CAMP
Tourists Get Good Accommodations
at Pine City by New
Additions.

The Midway Tourist Camp, just
south of Pine City village, on the
pavement, is constantly making i'm
provements and additions in order to
accommodate the motoring public in
the best manner, the latest improve
ment being that of adding six new log
cabins. The inside measurement of
each is 10X12. Three of them are fur
nishd with beds and bedding complete,
while the other three are not fur
nished complete, being for folks who
bring their own bedding. The little
cabins put UP very nice appearance
in amongst the big butternut, oak,
elm, maple, and Eastwood shade
trees, and are scattered out over the
ten acre plot. E. j. Preis, the propri-
etor of the camp, and who by the way
is the tallest and heaviest tourist
camp man in Pine county, being six
feet four and weighing 1913 pounds,
said the other day that all of the new
cabins would be in readiness for the
public by July 4th. The camp has all
modern conveniences including cleo
trio light, hot and cold running water,
and shower baths.

The championship crown rests
lightly on the heads of the individuals
that make up the Moose Lake base
ball team as the result of two of Sun
days games. By winning their own
game against Markville and since
Sandstone outslugged the Askovites,
there is no argument as to the winner.
But, on the other hand if the wheels
of fate had turned the other way so
as to give Askov and Markville the
wins, then Askov would have been the

The first half of the schedule has

one game out of eight starts, and
