For a better under- i ter Bome business matters and also standing regarding slaves in those j days we would here inject a "note 1 on slavery." In Greece, Homers itime. au prisoners of war were treated as slaves. The Lacedaemo nian youth, trained in deceiving and butchering slaves, were from time to time, let loose upon them, to show their proficiency in stratagam and massacre, and once for their amuse ment only, they murdered, it is said. 3000 in one night.

Was this slave before untrust worthy. Philemon will find him now, since he is converted, worthy to be placed be side Paul, verse 17. That is what t he gospel of Jesti Christ produces; unprofitable man. becomes profitable, the profane, a man of prayer: the I indolent will be active in the church for his Lord and King; the changed man w,n not walk in the council of j tbe UIlgr0(uy. nor stand in the way D inrers. nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, but his delightful is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night," Ps. 1. 1:2. The beautiful characteristics of Paul displayed in this short letter, are well worth to imitate, for they are Christlike. We shall have one more letter of Paul written in Rome, next week. L. NEITZEL.

Forty Marooned by a Snowstorm in North Dakota Motorists, Many of Them Women and Children, Prisoners Fifteen Automobiles Stalled Mandan. N. D. Isolated in a small cabin five miles west of here, more than forty persons, who abandoned their automo biles during Thursday's snow storm, were rescued late Friday when a snowplow opened up the road leading to their Bhelter. St. Paul Forty persons, many of them women and children, were mar ooned Friday night in a small cabin five miles from Mandan, N. D., un able to leave because of the sleet and snowstorm that swept the north west and stalled their fifteen auto mobiles. While efforts were being made to free them, restoration of communication facilities continued in North and South Dakota and north western Minnesota, disrupted by the unseasonable weather that indirect ly was responsible for two deaths and early Friday. Word of the plight of the maroon ed group near Mandan was received there when several men arrived af ter traveling thru the deep snow on foot. Efforts to reach the party were unsuccessful. Motorists abandoned the cabin, which is inhabited by a highway maintenance foreman. The Mandan Red Cross prepared to give any aid that may be necessary when the party is reached. On North Dakota highway No. 10 ifrom a point three and one-half miles to seven miles west of Mandan were forty automobiles stalled in drifts caused by the nine inch fall in that section. A plow was ordered to the highway by Morton county officials. Crews brought in from sections that did not feel the fury of the sleet, snow : nd wind aided already weary worker who in parts of North Da kota and northwestern Minnesota were restoring service disrupted by the Sundav storm when the second ty's plight was taken to Mandan by peroral men who made their way over the snow covered road into the city. The board of county commis sioners immediately ordered a snow plow to the rescue. S:me Districts Snowbound. Chicago The northwest plains struggled to restore communication and order Friday in the regions iso lated by snow and wnd.

Twenty-four hours after the peak of the storm many com- , munities had not yet been heard from, but the reports that had trick- j led thru the crippled communica tion lines told of two deaths, trains delayed, roads blocked hy huge j (.rifts and thousands of poles and miles of wire leveled hy the sudden blast. Temperatures thruout the middle west were lower, hut the snow was confined mainly to the upper great iake? region. The storm center had apparently shifted into Canada, where Winnipeg reported transpor tation services demoralized and busi j ness at a standstill due to the deep i snowdrifts. The weather bureau ex j pected colder Friday night in all of the Chicago forecast area except the i extreme western sections and colder J Saturday in the upper great lakes land Indiana. The district around Sidney appar (ently bore the brunt of the storm in I western Nebraska and roads were still blocked. Four hundred sheep I on one ranch were stampeded into I a creek during the storm and drown jed. Much of the damage in South I America was attributed to sleet, the 1 telephone company at Aberdeen esti mating the wire damage alone at $500,000. State Journal.
