George Seibert, About 75 Old, Dies
From Exposure Early Monday Morning
George Seibert, and old gentleman, who formerly lived in
Dagget Brook, Crow Wing Co.,
and who since about the first ol
October had been living with
his nephew, John Seibert, in the
Charley Weiss house one half
mile north of the village, died
early Monday morning as,a re
suit of exposure during the extreme low temperature of -u.-
day and Saturday.
.Tohn left for Crow Wing Co.,
early in the week. Louis Span-
fellner. always mindful of the
old man's welfare during John's
absence, kept a close eye to the
chimneyi Louis saw smoke curling from the chimney Friday
morning, but saw none there in
the afternoon of that day. Neither did he see any signs of life
about the premises Saturday
forenoon.
About two o'clock in the afternoon, he went over to see if
everything was well with the
old man. After repeatedly peeling into the windows and rapping at the door, a feeble voice
answered: ''1 cannot get up,
Break the door in."
To avoid any possible future
trouble, Louis sent for Charley
Weiss, the owner of the house
to break the door open. The
old man was found lying on the
floor with badly frozen feet and
with hands bleeding. The wall,
the foot-end of tlie bedstead,
and the floor where he lay, were
besmeared with blood from his
injured hands
From the bloody fingermarks
on the footend of the bedstead,
it is evident that he injured his
hands by repeated efforts bo
raise himself onto the bed.
was at once put to bed and
made as comfortable as possible under the surrounding conditions. Though stimuia its
were administered regularly
throughout Saturday night and
all day Sunday, he continued to
sinlc until twenty minutes to
three Monday morning, when Lie
breathed his fast.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
lies. Deafness ia caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars face.

Her Fault.
A certain Scotch professor was left
a widower In his old age. Not very
long after he suddenly announced his
intention of marrying again, half apologetically, adding, "I never would
have thought of it, If Lizzie hadn't
died."—Harper's  Magazine.
Unkind.
"Bliggins thinks he is keeping hl»
light under a bushel." "Perhaps ha
is wise," replied Jllss Cayenne; "hia
light is probably so small that It
would go out If he let a draft get to
It"
The Strong Point.
"I have found Just the party for
you, Lord Duncan—a lady with a dowry of half a million." "And when can
I see this lady?" "Just keep thinking of the dowry—don't ask to see
her."—Fliegende Blaetter.

The Duty of Art.
Every gay, every bright word, or picture, like every pleasant air of music, Is a piece of pleasure set afloat;
the reader catches It, and If he be
healthy, goes on his way rejoicing, and
It Is the business of art so to send
him as often as possible.—R. L. Stevenson.
Putting It the Wrong Way.
"Many a speaker Is lauded as 'having a fine command of language.' of
whom It might better be said, that 'his
language has a oommand of him.' He
has the same 'command of language'
that a rider has of a horse that Is
running away  with him."—Whately.
Signs of the Times.
"I see the young lady next door has
a beau." "She assures me that It is
purely a platonlc affection." "In that
case you had better look over something cheap in clocks, or something
Of that kind." *
Having an Ideal Means Much.
"Year circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not long remain so if you but perceive an Ideal
and strive to reach It. You cannot
travel within and stand still without."—James Allen.
Be Ready for Opportunity.
"There is scope for chance every-
■where; let your hook be always hanging ready. In the eddies where you
least expect it, there will be a fish."—
Ovid.
Success Matter of Will Power.
"Don't flinch, flounder, fall over, l.ir
fiddle, but grapple like a man. A man
who -wills it can go anywhere,, and
do what he determines to do."—John
Todd.
The Saving Element.
"The party'll go to pieces In this
reform wave unless the boys can get
a plank in the platform to protect
them." "I see. A sort of gangplank."
—Baltimore American.
Hobby  Worth  Considering.
A person who. apart from business,
has a hobby,  literary or scientific,  is
usually a  better man or woman than
one who has none.
Nonsense That Deceives.
"Nonsense when earnest is Impressive and sometimes takes you In.   If
you are in a hurry, you occasionally j BeveraT0"f them burnt together,
mistake it for sense."—Disraeli.
Elegance   In   Humility.
"Can anything be so elegant as to
have few wants, and to serve them
one's self?"—Emerson.
To Burn Paper.
There are times when there are
bundles of old papars to be burned.
This Is dangerous In a grate fire. The
following is the method which will
avert danger of the chimney catching
fire: Make tight rolls of all the papers
and fasten them with pieces of soft
wire—broomstick wire will do. They
will then form a kind of a log aud
burn Blowly without a flame. The
rolls may be made   of any  size    and
Duty and Fame.
"Duty well done is noble;  if properly  advertised  It  is  fame."—George
Horace Lorimer.
Competence and the Morals.
There is no harm in having a competence, if it does not produce fatty
degeneration of the morals.
Avoiding Temptation.
What  you ought not to do, do UOt '
think about doing.—Pythagorafc
Realism In Bcbylon.
"A great deal of fun has been
poked at the realistic school of art,"
Bays a New York artist, "and it
must be confessed that some ground
has been given to the enemy. Why,
there recently came to my notice a
picture of an Assyrian bath, done by
a Chicago man, and so careful was he
of all the details that the towels hanging up were all marked "Nebuchadnezzar' in the corner, In cuneiform
characters."—LIppincott's   Magazine.
