not to be- filled:
They never quite leave us, our friends
who have passed,
Through the shadows of death to the

A thousand sweet memories are hold

To the places they blest with their
presence and love.

The funeral services for Mr.. Babe
were held at the house Wednesday
at IL o'clock, and at the church at
1 O'Clock p. m. The Rev. Johnson had
charge of the services. The choir
sang two selections, Going down the

solo, Some Day He'll Make it Plain
to Me-"
The remains were laid to rest in
the Bruno cemetery amid the beau
tiful flowers given by friends and
neighbors which spoke of the love all

fering and pain were long and many
and his rest was blessed and sweet
but we shall miss him. Our loss is
Heavens gain.

BRUNO RESIDENT.
CALLED BY DEATH.
John Babe Succumbs to Ten Weeks
Illness.-Buried Wednesday
in Bruno Cemetery.

John Babe, IS, passed away at his
home near Bruno Monday morning at
1870 o'clock after an illness of over
ten weeks.
Mr.. Babe was born near Madison
Wis, Feb. Z, 1865. He moved with
his parents to Nebraska when a boy
and lived there until he moved to
Bruno, Pine county, in 1904 with his
brother, Louie. and Carl and sister
Sofa, where they settled on Sand
Greek east of Bruno. On March 16
1910 he was married to Mary Just al
Centrallie, ILL.,, and they moved into
their new home where they resided
until now. Mr. Babe leaves his wife
three brothers, Louis of Fairfax, Hen
ry of Leigh, Nebr., and Dora Lue-
schian of Leigh, Nebr, Carl of Bruno
Sofa Freeman of Scanlon and a host
of friends to mourn him. Mr.. Babe
was of happy, cheerful disposition
and one whom it was a pleasure to
meet. Although IS years of age he
was young in actions and enjoyed the
boys and girls that their home was
always open to. Mrs. Babe who was
always by his side at their work will
always cherish the spots made beau
tiful and home-like by the sweat OF
their brows. Their union has been a
very happy one and few people en-
joyed their home and the company
of each other as Uncle John and
Aunt Mary Babe did, which will be
a blessed memory to her through her
remaining days and although, hard to
part, will feel happy for the years
they enjoyed each other.
Mr.. Babe was a faithful member
of the Presbyterian church, joined
as a charter member when the church
was organized and has taken great
pride in our little church and its
work. He taught the Bible class
many years and until the last few
years since his health has not been
good, Mr.. and Mrs. Babe were always
in their place at church and Sunday
school. Many happy times have all

Church Impressions.
Gunnar Westin, associate professor
of church history at the famous Upp-
sala university in Sweden. has lust
returned to his home from an extern
sive American trip. He reports that
almost everywhere in the United
States he found what he characterized
as -antiqhated church life;;" every
where else he had noticed immense
progress and development. but. he
said American church life remains
stagnant and refuses to recognize the
fact that religious ideals must needs
change with changing general condi-
tions of life and civilization. We could
not successfully offer the people of
Sweden a religious system of the
American type-it would be a couple
of hundred years too old for us. But

park and along Main street. Every
night gorgeous spectacle greets the
visitors i'm Pine City as the lights of
the trees go on. In the park, 20
foot tree has been set up and this
throws a wealth of beautiful light
over the park every evening.
And now old Santa Claus is COM
ing. OF course he feels badly about
those rumors that the seven or eight
year-olds throw out about there being
no Santa Claus" so he just has to
come in person. Never mind about
the disbelief little boys and girls, so
long as you little folks and big folks
know there's Santa Claus, why old
Santa Claus will come, no matter if
your older brothers and sisters pass
through a few years of doubt. Santa
Claus is coming to the park in Pine
City next Saturday and through the
generous assistance of the Lions COM
mittee, Phil Silesky, Clint Boo and
Eugene Sullivan, he will be prepared
to give at least a thousand boys and
girls each a box of candy and amin al
cookies. He will arrive in town about
1870 with full pack. If the weather
is favorable, the band will be out to
help celebrate.
One of Santa's best friends, H. ~.
Turner, is in Long Beach, California,
this winter. Mr.. Turner owns the
Family Theatre and his advertise
ment appears regularly in the Ameri-
can. In his absence, the theatre is
being run by Glen Turner who will
stage a free show for the Riddles i'm
mediately following the celebration in
the park. The name of the show is
Salute" and it promises to be one
that all will enjoy. Last year nearly
a thousand children attended Mr..
Turner's show. A candy bar will be
given to each boy and girl that at
tends.
So, boys and girls. tell your mama
and papa that you do believe in Santa
Claus and that you want to see him
in Pine City next Saturday.

He lures her into the country under the pretext of taking her to see the missing Mrs Porter Mason. His deception is revealed when his car develops motor trouble" and MT. Carew embraces Jao- queline and ardently pleads his love. He threatens and caj0les but Jacqueline is unmoye c d. Forty-five miles from London she is intent on getting home.

 The old gentleman looked his amazement. But what are you doing out here alone, if, as you say you live in London, and are not To- cated, as it were, hereabouts?"
 "I-was out for walk, a sort of picnic replied Jacqueline. And got lost. I was just sitting on the stile thinking things over when you came along. It's good job for you I happened to be lost here"
 Tt is a good job indeed" replied the injured man But I don't understand, my dear"
 Never mind. You don't have to understand
 He was looking at her clothes. He could see her plainly. He found it difficult to reconcile them with the facts. They bore the mark of quality.
 Now" said Jacqueline, you are to sit here and not move till I come back. I am going to get help for you. I'll run all the way" She vanished in the fog.
 She did not have to go far before she found the beginnings of a vil- lage. She knocked up the first lighted cottage, and was told, to her relief, that there was doctor who lived not far down the road. He proved to be man of action. He had a small car out in min ute, and drove off for the scene of the accident. On the way Jac- queline told him she wanted to get back to London right away.
 "If you really must get back to London" the doctor said, T think you can just about do it. When we have got this gentleman back, my man will drive you to the main line station, and you will just have about time to catch the mail"
 The injured man was brought to the doctors house without much trouble, and Jacqueline waited just long enough to hear the report that the injury was not of a seri- ous nature.
 The injured man was surprised that the girl was going, but ap- ,parently too drowsy to contest the point.
 T hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again. he said. You have done more for me than you seem to realize and should like to have further opportunity of expressing my gratitude. Here is my card. Will you promise either

 T don't think you could" replied Jacqueline. Because all the house I've got is in London, and that's about 45 miles away from here, believe"

 "Then you ought to know better, charging about the country like that, in a fog. At your age. tool I could understand it if you were a young fellow like Teddy"
 "Who is Teddy?"
 He's a boy I know"
 "A nice boy?'
 Not so bad as boys go," answer ed Jacqueline, turning her head away. The old gentleman's eyes were fixed on her eager young face. As his head became cleared he found the situation more and more astonishing.
 T have a son named Teddy" he remarked.
 "A nice son?" asked Jacqueline.
 Not so bad, as sons go," replied the old gentleman with twinkle

A NICE OLD GENTLEMAN

Jacqueline's experience with faints was far more extensive than MT. Carew's and she knew exactly what to do for the old man.
 She unfastened his collar and dipped her handkerchief in the water in ditch nearby and applied it to his forehead
 Soon he returned to conscious ness and in the light from the headlights of the overturned auto mobile saw the features of Jacque- line as she knelt beside him, sup porting his head in the hollow of her arm.
 Feel better now?" she asked, as if she were speaking to child.
 Yes" be answered faintly. IT. am much better now and I thank you very much for your kind and eager help. My dear, you are rather wonderful--a young girl like you, and a little thing--the way you got me out from under that car
 After a brief consideration, Jac queline decided that as he was quite old, there was no objection to his terms of endearment. He looked like a nice old gentleman
 She was busy now wiping the blood from his face and picking out splinters of glass. The side of his head was cut and the blood had stained his white hair and run down his cheeks. She could see,
