Gome oat and encourage the boys. The experimental well whioh Bacon sank for the village last week at. the water works plant was submitted to a test of five hours continuous pumping with an ordinary pump, last Saturday, and it proved very satisfactory. The proposition now is to sink three four- inch wells about ten feet apart, and con nect them so that tbey wiH all be used at. once. Bacon says that he is confident that in this way an inexhaastable supply of water can be gotten. It is not defi nitely settled yet that this will be done, but the probability is that at the next meeting of the board it will be so ordered. BBXLWOOD Froaa the Gaaette.,, Mm.

Ericksoa waa born in Flaan,Sweden, on March 36, 18b8. She came to this country aed to Platte coun ty in 1883. Was married to Godfrey Samuelaon in 1887, died at this place Bonday, April 4, 1907, after a lingering illness of nearly a year. The end was as peaceful aa the close of a beautiful rammer day, when daylight fades into night with iacreasiag loveliness. Life will never be quite the same to those who knew her, while those who were nearest to her will long for her with nn- uterable longings-long for a mother's counsel and advice, and a wife's gentle and loving sympathy. She was a wom an of strong! christian character; pa tient, lovisg and sslfsacrinoiag. The last services were held Wednesday morning at the home at 1.1 o'clock after which the remains were taken to. the Swedish Lutheran church 9 miles south west of town where interment services were held, Bev. Akholm officiating. Biuersu's Seen. RtftflMtioi By atonal brett. Uncontrollable sobs shook John BInnerson's frame as he gazed at the yet girlish face of the one who had - 5een wife, counselor, and comrade to him for five short years. The dying woman stirred restlessly on the bed. then opened her eyes. Seeing his plight, they filled with such compassion as a mother bestows on her child In pain. "Don't cry. Dave," she urged. "Stupid. I'm not worth it Bring Ed. I don't think I'll last long." Death was beyond the comprehen sion of Ed, and he little understood the farewell words or kiss. He no ticed more particularly the grief which shook the stalwart frame of his father. Farewell words spoken to the child the woman summoned all the powers of her mind for a last talk with her weeping husband. She asked him to look well after Ed, and then urged him to beware of gam bling, drinking, and evil companions. She argued and implored with him to remain steadfast to the leading of a clean and manly life. He hung on her words, occasionally mutely nod ding assent to the logic of her coun sel. She had the clearer brain, the stronger will, the ability to protect her husband from himself. He had not realized the fact, but thought his reformatlon'was due to himself. "Don't leave me," he cried. "I can't exist without you. I owe every thing to you." The face of the little woman lit up with pleasure at his acknowledgment. She strove to articulate a last bless ing on the standing pair, but fell back. c Although, until his wife's death. Blnnerson had failed to understand the value of his wife as a protector from himself, his old-time friends well had appreciated why he had be come a reformed character. They flocked back to Blnnerson, and within a few weeks had him. Soon he began to drink heavily and foolishly, trying to forget his sorrow In the excitement of gambling and scenes of dissipa tion. The memory of the death scene gradually became dim, and in three months' time' he showed every evi dence of shortly becoming a worth less man. Then an Incident happened that changed the current of his life's events a thing so slight, impalpable, and. shadowy that for the life of him Blnnerson could never afterwards sat isfactorily explain. how it really hap pened. He hurried to his place of business one afternoon, and ran up the flight of steps, at the top of which was his private office. He was about to enter his room- quickly when something made him give pause. Con trolled by an indefinable impulse, he opened the door softly. In his chair sat Ed, but he was not merely sitting there waiting. About this little figure there hung- a look of dejection, of woe, and sorrow. He had his head on his hands, and apparently was think ing deeply. Into the drink-sodden brain of Bln nerson came sudden remorse for his conduct. "Poor little beggar," he re flected. "In his childish way he's try ing to think out things. He's wonder ing why he's not so happy as he was a few months ago. Maybe he's figur ing out what he'll become. A hard life this Is with the best of training. What chance will he have with me for a father and guardian? Suppose he copies my example? He's her boy as well as mine." Perhaps for three minutes Blnner son had hold of the knob of the door. Suddenly he let go of it, but before doing so a heroic resolution had' taken possession of him. His" mind made up, he strode heavily across the floor and greeted the boy with the re mark: "Hello, Ed; how'd you man age to come down all by yourself?" . The boy started from his reverie and explained how his nurse had brought him and would be back in half an hour. His question, however, showed what he had been thinking about. "Won't you stay home to night, papa? It's so lonely without you, now mamma's gone." Then the telephone bell rang. Three times Blnnerson said "No" to something, and then he grew angry. "Ton and the whole 'bunch' can go for all I care," he shoaied into the mouthpiece of the 'phone. "I'm going' to look after my youngster, home aad business better in the future." Copper in Great Demand. Not less than 370,000,000 pounds of copper wire were in use on the tele phone lines In America last year. This year there is expected an increase- of 53,000,000 pounds.

'1 wish I was an exnert on the phases of mentality." sara a New Yorker. "I would like to be able to trace the operations of the mind when it, is so confoundedly perverse that it turns into the very channels that you are seeking to avoid. "Let me give you an instance. One night last week eight men met in the library of the home of a friend who had just met with a great bereave ment We bad no concerted agree ment as to how we were to divert his mind, but each one, I think, meant to get as far from the track of trouble as possible. ''Every man in the circle of con solation was a man of travel and observation. Three of the party had been around the globe three times. "Soon after we were assembled one of the circle began to relate an ex perience of the day before. He had been in a train wreck. Before he realized it, I think, he was telling of death scenes he had witnessed. "Before he finished he saw his mis take and switched. He was doing finely when the man at the end of the' table broke in with a that reminds me,' and before he had concluded he waa unreeling an experience he had on the west coast of Africa when the ship on which he was a passenger foundered. "He stopped suddenly in the re cital of the worst part of the story, but not before he had told of the cap sizing of a lifeboat. Every one in that boat was lost. "Immediately, to break the effect, a recently returned traveler men tioned that while he was in China, a few weeks before, he .had met one known to all present '"What was he doing in Chlnar asked another. "The man to whom the question was put replied: 'He was there with his family. He was traveling for the benefit of his daughter's health.' '"She Is a beautiful girl.' followed. Quite a favorite in a large circle. "Tea, she was. The saddest funeral I ever attended was hers. She died the day before she waa to sail for home.' "The lull In the conversation was painful. Our friend who had just suf fered the loss bowed his head. In stantly another of the party, who had up to that moment been silent, said: "1 closed a deal to-day for a new house, into which I expect to move as soon as a few changes have been made.' "This turned the talk Into the real estate channel. We were doing well. Values in various parts of the city became the topic. Right in the midst of it some one asked: "Did you sell your place to good advantager , , " financially, yea; I sold, however, reluctantly. But after my son's long sickness there, followed by his death, afl of us felt as if we never could remain In the place where we had our first sorrow.' "Another lull. Another shadow. Another groan In the chair occupied by our friend. "By the way,' broke In another of the little circle, 1 met Judge Blank this afternoon. Ton all know him.

"Too bad to lose such a man.' This sentiment waa echoed by all present. " 'But since he lost his wife, a me ter and a brother all within six months he is a broken hearted man, and wants to get Into a new country. "Well, that revived the shadows. They simply had a walk, around in the room. Every man acted aa If he was afraid to open his mouth. "Some one in the room picked up a copy of Longfellow and opened It. The talk turned to Longfellow. His centenary was broached. "'Read us one of his poems.' said some one, who thought that this waa the safe way out. "'I will read you my favorite.' and ' he began: There la a reaper, whose name is Death "He closed the book as if he had received a shock. We were silent. "Just then a Ire engine dashed through the street. The fire waa around the corner. We an went to the scene. Then we walked to a garage near by. hired a car aad took a long ride. Not a man in the party spoke. We were afraid to trust our tongues. Can you explain it?" Followed Orders. Admiral Slgsbee, In a recent after dinner speech, said of the naval vir tue of obedience: "Tet even obedience may be carried too far.
