Mrs. Annio Nelson, left a widow through the death by tuberculosis last fall of her husband, Peter Nel- son, and the mother of eight chil- dren, ig encountering more than a fair share of misiortune, having for the second time lost her home by fire. Mrs. Nelson lives on a 40-acre farm six miles north of Swan River, where by dint of hard work, she ekes out @ living for herself and children the eldest of whom is a girl 14 years. Following the death of her hus- band. the little building that shelter- ed the family caught fire last fall, and was completely destroyed. Gen- erous neighbors subscribed all that each could afford and purchased enough material to build another home, the men volunteering their }a- por. All seemed to be going well with the bereaved family, and by valiant efforts the brave mother be- gan anew, the struggle for her little ones. Tuesday night while the family were all in bed and asleep, the moth- er was awakened by the smell of smoke, Hurriedly she snatched the youngest child, an irfant a few months old, and rushed from the || SOCIALHAPPENINGS Se ee By E.C.

However, that’s 2s may be. Girls, don’t you think it is a catty thing to be always telling someone else's age? I know a woman ‘here who delights in saying: “Oh, I knew her 20 years ago and’ she was in high school them,’ and ‘isha went to school with my sister, who is 10/ years older than me.” This woman, too, girls knows when everyone came to Grand Rapids and what they. had to their packs at that time. and | as for being reminiscent, well, she has “backdoor memoirs” -backed right off the book shelves. ' For the good of the mumerous young couples who are planning to commit matrimony I will quote some- |thing I read yesterday: “Do not cey and Mrs. Becker. imagine that the joy elevator is al-! ways going up. No doubt she is. sweeter than honey, but he is wise | who has a care that in taking honey he be not stung. After all, children, if your minds are made up go on and do it. It is the only way to find out what it is, amd If you are lucky you will be the luckiest things in all the wide world. Because it is so pa when it is bad because it is so good when it is good.” But there, we had better stop philosophizing and get ready for the numerous ‘“‘show- ers” for the aforesaid brides. Brides and April weather are much alike in that respect, don’t you think so? THE LOOKER-ON. Will Have Evening Meeting. An exceptionally interesting pro- gram is being prepared for the meet- ing of the Mothers’ club Friday even- burning building calling loudly at the same time to awaken the remaining | children. Several times the heroi mother rushed into the burni home, returning each time with sev eral children until all were safely | without. The suddenness of awak- ening and the rapidity with which the building burned prevented the stricken family from saving any household effects, and they again lost; every article of clothing except the garments in which each had slept. Mrs. Alfred Johnson, wife of. the section boss, stationed at Goodland, and sister of Mrs. Nelson, brought the news to Hibbirg Saturday and adds further details of the sad plight into which the unfortunate family has been so suddenly cast. The fam- ily is now living in a chicken coop around which boards have been stacked to prevent exposure to the cold. Fire is maintained in the coop and in this manner the little ones have been kept from freezing.
