Many Friends Pay Tribute
of Respect To Dr.. Dubois
18-Hole Blind
DOGGY Sunday
Dub Tournament Drew Large
Number of Golfers To Course
Sunday

Following the dub tournament
that drew more golfers and would
be-golfers to the Country Club
course than has been seen in a long
time, the tournament committee
has allowed no let up in their tour
ney schedule stating an 18-hole
blind DOGGY event for Sunday morn
ing. The first round is to tee off at
$3.50 a. m.
Dragging the boys out in the
early hours of the morning is nee
essary, announced w. J. Bryan,
since otherwise the event would
run into the early afternoon. En-
try fees for members of the Coun-
try Club has been set at Csc, for
non-members the fee is IS cents
which includes the greens fees.
The committee asks that members
and non-members enter in this
first event.
The dub tournament last Sunday
was the event that brought the
chuclxles to those more familiar
to the game, and brought beads of
manly sweat to the brows of the
boys who swung-and missed-for
the first time. An even dozen of
the dubs took part and scores
ranged from a surprising SO for
low, soaring to a SO for high. Low
on holes 5, 6, and 9 was Fay Coop
er with a total count Of Is for the
trio, and high on 2, z, and 8 was
DR.. wager, counting % strokes.
For several days the event has
been the talk of the street, and
heads of the club are convinced it
was one Of the most satisfying
events staged for early season i'm
petus.
Not to be outdone by the men on
the tournament angle, the ladies of
the Niblick Club were all set to
swing 1t Tuesday with tourna-
ment scheduled for that morning.
Heavy rains that greeted this vic
Unity necessitated their postponing
the event until Saturday, May %.

Funeral Service Thursday
Afternoon Largely
Attended
BURIAL IN GREENWOOD
Editor Eastman Stressed
Courage And Loyalty In
Funeral Address

A large number of friends gath
cred at the family residence on
Third Street last week Thursday
afternoon to pay their last tribute
to DR.. Julian A. Dubois, prominent
resident of this city. The last sad
rites were held in the home and
many were those present who were
unable to gain admission. This tri-
butte Of honor and affection was
well merited through the more than
fifty years of residence in Sank
Centre.
Rev. p. J. Jansen, pastor of the
Congregational Church, conducted
the prayer service and Alvah East
man, editor of the st. Cloud Times,
gave the funeral eulogy. Oscar
Dowswell, Of this city, sang a
group of songs.
Interment was made in Green
wood cemetery with John, Patrick,
David and Julian Dubois, grand
sons OF the Doctor, and Ben Tom
and Frank Tillotson as pallbearers.
In paying tribute to DR.. Dubois,
Mr.. Eastman stressed the courage
and loyalty shown by him through
out his entire lifetime. He spoke as
fellows:
when we pay our last tribute to
those we love and admire, what we
say is not for them, but for the
living, that we may gain inspira-
ton and helpfulness from the lives
they lived.
when the spirit is released, that
is not death but only the unshack-
ling of the soul from the weary
body.
There is much that might be
said, and many will be giving it ex-
preston in the years to come, of
the life and service of Julian A.
Dubois. To him life was an adven-
ture and a challenge to be met
with courage and fidelity, adequate
preparation. being necessary to
give the high type of service, to be
rendered with kindly zeal, under
standing and helpfulness.
Loved His Fellows"
'TIe is one who loved his fellows,
and in service and in inspiration
his name stands at the head.
Tie had that admirable blending
of wit and humor, deep sympathy
and kindly appreciation, that made
him an ideal friend.
IT recall many visits from him,
and they were bright lights in life.
He was lover of the best, good
books, noble poems, great orations,
himself gifted as a writer and yet
he received more of value in his
contact with people, because he
was interested in them. He was
ready with words Of cheer to those
he met, and if one could garner his
words of appreciation to those
along the highway into a great
wreath, interviewer with cheer and
comfort and aid, it would reach
the heavens.
'TIe was a gifted man in many
ways, and he would have succeeded
in any vocation to his liking-and
yet he was ever faithful to his pro-
fession Of physician, that was not
limited to the medicine he gave,
but the courage he instilled, to
make a winning fight. Great COM
fort he gave to many, who on this
day and hereafter, will recall his
service and his life philosophy,
that will cheer their hearts, and
those who will carry on the story.
HE had lived many years, filled

AS Denny lay in the darkness
she became aware of the sound of
water flowing past the boats hull

crept into her heart.

questioned aloud.
Her words hung suspended in
the room, unanswered, as they had
been when she put the query to
Harp and to Revelry Bourne. Yet,
from somewhere came a sense OF
comfort; it was almost a convic-
ton. 1t seemed to her that her
father was about to make known
to her some secret which his wife,
Sylvia had never learned.
She then came to a sudden de-
cision about Rcvelry Bourne. Cir
