Business is yet at standstill; the tray

Remarks we're made by Prot. Kiehle
during which he stated that the school had
not received that treatment at the hands
Of those to whom it had looked for sup
port for the coming year that had been ex-
pected, but the pupils must not feel dis
couraged. The Lord is on the side of the
school and all will come out we'll yet.
A half hour was given to promenading
and social conversation, after which and
solo by Prot: Rhys, the pleasant evening
came to an end.
Sir George Elliott, who purchased the
Egyptian railways for English capitalists,
WA once pit boy in the mines. He is
now the largest coal proprietor in the
world, and member of Parliament
change.
We will venture to say that Sir George
Elliott, when boy, didnotspend his nights
running through the streets with dissclute
! boys; that he did not haunt saloons and
GROCERIES drinking and carousing that he
did not spend his earnings for beer and
cards. Had he done so he would never
have risen above the level Of "a pit boy in
the mines" He would not be to-day the
man of wealth and influence that he is.
There are = good many boys in St. Cloud
who may find in this little paragraph some
thing Of interest to themselves. There
are only too many of them who are ruin
ing health, morals and all prospects of
advancement; who frequent saloons and
play billiards or cards and drink until mid
night; who spend in dissipation all the
money they earn and sometimes money
they don't earn. If these boys would only
stop and think they would see that they
are growing up without that which is in
dispensable to every boy or man who
would rise to positions of honor and prof.
it, character-that ifthey continue a. they
are now doing they will always be "pit
boys" Boys, aren't you paying a pretty
dear price for your "fun''7

A pest there came, a loud saloon
Its filthy traffic then began;
But praying bands were mustered soon,
And SO the guilty keeper ran;
''For what avail'' said Higgins, think,

~ He came like pilgrim, without drum;
Statistics spread, and speechifed.
Entlcing other men to come,
And share like martys pure. with him.
His honor, bed and fodder Slim!
They came, brave men from various lands:
Fleeing from caste and tyrants chain:
And bought their lots, and put their hands
At once to work for honest gain;
And he to all, rich, or dead broke
Some words OF good cheer, always spoke.
So grew the town beneath his care.

Editor Anti l!oxopolist:
Knowing your hatred for all lnonopoliss
end you the following poem " hich was written
for the Atlantic Monthly, but which in conse-
quenoe of unaccouutable delays in its trans
mission, did not reach its destination, until a
poem OF similar nature, entitled "Eoson and
which 10 printed above, appeared in that mag
zine. This much seems necessary to say IN
order to rtute any charges OF plagiarism that
might be made.
The Atlantic works upon the theory that he
who prints first is beyond question the orig:-
nator OF poem. This principle you can see Is
the trick oil monopolist. Postertsy, like Gov.
Austin will sooner or later shake such nom
sense over-the proper place. Like the great
question Who is the author of Beautiful
Snow,''-it will he settled upon its merits.
Yours sincerely,
