One Of the most terrific wind
storms which has visited this region
for some time occurred on Wednes-
day afternoon last. The wind blew
steadily from the northeast until
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
when suddenly it changed around
to about southwest, blow ing a per-
feet gale and kicking up the big
gest sea we have ever seen on the
bay-so big a sea, in fact, that the
terrY-boat and tugs lying at Stones
dock, Duluth, were obliged to steam
over to the Northern Pacific docks
for fear they would pound to pieces.

Set in royal diadems;
You may boast your diamonds rare
Rubies bright, aud gems so fair;
But there's a peerless gem on earth.

It's priceless, but tits worn by few
It is, il is the heart that's true.
Bring the tulip and the rose,
While their brilliant beauty glows;
Let the storm cloud fling shade,
Rose and tulip. both will fade;
But there's a flower that still is found
When mist and darkness close around
Changeless. fadeless in its hue
II is. il is the heart that's true.
Ardent in its earliest tic,
Faithful in It's latest sigh
Love aud friendship. goiIikc pair.
Find their throne Of gl0sy there.
Proudly scorning bribe and threat,
Naught can break TIC seal once set;
AL tho evil gold csh do
Cannot warp the heart that's true.
