Thoughts for Saturday Night.

Times chariot wheels make their road
in the fairest face.
Grabbed age and youth cannot live to-
gether.
We see times furrows on another &
brow; how few, themselves in that just
mirror, see
Childhood itself is scarcely more
lovely than cheerful, kindly, sunshiny
old age.
Old age was naturally more honored
in times when people could not know
much more than what they had seen.
To guard the mind against the temp.
tation of thinking there are no good
people. say to them: "Be such as you
would like to see others, and you will
find those who resemble you"
Testimony is like an arrow shot from
long bow-the force of it depends on
the strength of the hand that draws it.
Argument is like an arrow from cross
bow, which has equal force though
drawn by child.
Spero Speroni explains admirably how
an author who writes very clearly for
himself is often obscure to his readers.
"It is" he says, "because the author
proceeds from the thought to the ex'
preston, and the reader from the ex'
preston to the thought.
Objects close to the eye shut out much
larger objects on the horizon, and
splendors born only OF the earth eclipse
the stars. So q man sometimes covers
up the entire disk of eternity with a
dollar, and quenches transcendent glo-
ries with little shining dust.

Warnin- in Time.

The st. Paul Press prints an article
on the Indian question aptly entitled
"Cautionary Signals" The Press
shows that 1t is natural that apprehen-
sions as to Indian outrages should exist
all along the frontier, Notwithstanding
the assurances of military comman lers.
It recalls the "bloodthirsty insanity
which seized on the Sioux of the upper
Minnesota valley in 1862, when, without
Gny cause or provocation, they made 9
Golgotha of our frontier settlements. !"
Although the Dakota Indians have shown
no unfriendliness as yet, still there is no
knowing what influence the success OF
Sitting Bull over Custer may have upon
the Indian mind. We hear from Min
nesota that there is panic in the border
counties. One journal reports "settlers
from Murray and the adjoining counties
focking into Worthington from fear of
Indians" A dispatch has been received
in Washington from Bismarck to the ct,
feet that Indians have menaced the town.
This news lacks confirmation by our own
correspondent, and so many dispatches
from Washington about Indian affairs
are in the interest of the Indian ling,
that wo receive all such information
coming from that direction with reserve.
But two results have followed the Gus
ter massacre. The first is the conviction
in the minds of the Indians that the
time has come for them to rise and drive
the white man from their soil. Tho 9th
cr, that we have underrated the strength
of the Indians and overrated our power
to deal with them.

A London Tailor.

Most people, says q Tines London
correspondent, have been surprised to
see that Poole, the tailor, left about
El2O,OO0 behind him. Surprised, be-
cause the celebrated tailor lived in o
most extravagant way, and must have
made an enormous mass of bad debts.
Many of his fashionable customers
never thought of paying him" base is
the slave that pays" was their motto
and Poole could not afford to take q
real live live lord, perhaps a bosom
friend OF "the Prince" into a county
court. Peyntn, Pistol, Falstaff and
company could not very we'll be pre-
sented with fig leaf when they came
to ask for clothes, and yet, as q rule,
they neither had the means nor the de-
sire to pay. Poole's bad debs of this
description would make up very
pretty fortune. He was very good
sort of fellow, although little in
clined to put on airs now and then. One
day he was out hunting when rather
large party happened to be in the field.
He went up to Lord Hardwicke and
said, with q gesture of contempt: "a
fine day, my lord, but very mixed com.
pany." "Well, Poole" said Lord
Hardwicke, :" you know you cannot ex-
pect them oil to be tailors."

When the day for the Inauguration of
the President of tho United States was
fixed upon the fourth of March, it was
for the reason that the date occurred
seldom on Sunday. But twice during
our history has the Inauguration day
fallen on that day. The first was the
second inaugural of James Monroe, the
fifth President. March 4, 1921. The
second was when Zachary Taylor was
made President, March 4, 1849. Being
Sunday, his Inauguration did not take
place until the next day. The third will
be the next inaugural, March 4, 1877.
This will happen three times during
each century, or one year after every
seven leap years. Except when passing
front ono century to another there is
slight variation, as will be. observed in
the following dates of the past and
future inaugurations of the first two
centuries of the republic March 4,
1921; March 4, 1919; March 4, 1877;
March 4, 1917; March A, 1915; March 4,
1878.
