MOrmOnism in Minnesota.
Elk River (Sherburne Coz Star.

Two Mormon elders have been at
work for some time past in the eastern
part Of Baldwin, and are still at it, and
have made q number of conversions.
and their converts are now selling off
their personal property preparatory to
moving to Utah: We. hear the names
Of Newell Judkin and wife, the widow
Young Of Baldwin, and G. r. Colburn
and Barnum Of the adjoining town of
Spencer Brook in Isanti county, men
toned as converts. Mr.. Judkin is an
old settler there, and one of the leading
men of that part Of the town, has a
good farm and is in comfortable cir
Gums tances, and for years has been a
leading member of the Freewill Baptist
church, and is new Highlander by birth
and education. A married son and
son-in-law, the latter a brother to H. e.
Cowles of Princeton, became converts
to mormonism, year or two since, and
removed to Utah. A brother to Mrs.
Judkins, Hoyt by name, is one of the
Mormon twelve apostles we believe,
and this may have something to do with
others of the family becoming converts.

Popping the Question.

One of the Danbury young men who
had occasionally escorted a young lady
home on Sunday evenings, and went in
for lunch, after performing both services
last Sunday night suddenly said to her
Z Do you talk in your sleep?'
Why-no," she answered in sur
prise.
Do you walk in your sleep?" he next
inquired.
"No, sir.
He moved his chair an inch closer and
with increased interest asked:
Do you snore?"
No." she hastily replied, looking I'M
easily at him.
At this reply his eyes fairly sparkled
His lips eagerly parted, and as he gave
his hair another hitch, he briskly en-
quired:
" Do you throw combings from your
hair in the wash basin?'
What's that?' she asked with bland
face
He repeated the question, although
with increased nervousness.
q No, l DON'T" she answered in some
haste.
Again his chair went forward; while
his agitation grew SO great that he could
scarcely maintain his place upon it, and
he further asked:
Do you clean out the comb when you
are through"
"Of course l do" she said, staring at
him with all her might.
In an instant he was on his knees be-
fore her, his eyes ablaze with flame and
his hands outstretched.
"Oh, my dear Miss, [ love YOU" he
passionately exclaimed Il give my
whole heart up to you. Love me and [
will be your slave. Love me as | love
you, and will do anything on earth for
you. Oh, will you take me for your
lover, your husband, your protector,
your everything ?"
1t was critical moment for a young
woman of her years, but she was equal
to the emergency, as woman general
ly is, and she scooped him IN Danb,uy
NeWs.

Mind What you say Before Children.

A gentleman was in the habit of call
ing at a neighbours house and the lady
had always expressed to him much
pleasure in seeing him. One day, jus
after she had remarked to him hel
happiness from his visit, the little boy
entered the room. The gentleman took
him on his knee and asked:
Are you not glad to see me,
George?'
No, sir replied the boy
Why not, my little MANI he con-
tinued.
Because mother don't want you to
come, said George.
Here the mother looked daggers at
her little son, and became crimson. But
he saw nothing.
Indeed; how do you know that,
George ?"
Because she said yesterday she
wished that old bore would not call
again"
The gentleman's hat was soon in re-
QUESTION, and he left with the i'm
preston, "Great is the truth, it will pre-
VAIL"

Presently she dried her tears on her

There was Il tremor in the young

Springfield Republican


The Passamaquoddy Indians have ct
into a bitter wrangle about silver
medal which the French government
gave the grandfather of their late Gov.
Francis for serving on French man
ofwar At the last election a son Of
Gov. Francis was defeated for governor.
and now the claim is made that the
medal belongs to the governor, and is
part Of his insignia of office. The
Francis House is also claimed las the
governors residence. because the State
aided in its building, but the Franchises
and their friends show that the house
was mostly paid for by the family, and
that the State aid was given because of
a general offer to anybody in the tribe
who would build him a home. Both
parties have appealed to the Catholic
bishop.

The BRUTE CREATION.-But ,

The BRUTE CREATIoN.-But what is
needed for the present is due regard
for the natural rights of animals, due
sense of the fact that they are not Gre
ated for mans pleasure and behoof
alone. but have, independent of him,
their own meaning and place in the
universal order; that the God who gave
them being, who, out of the manifold
ness of His creative thought let them
pass into life, has not cast them off, but
is with them, in them, still. A portion
of His spirit, though unconscious and
unrehecting, is theirs What else but
the Spirit of God could guide the crane
and the stork across painless seas to
their winter retreats, and back again to
their summer haunts? What else could
reveal to the petrol the coming storm
What but the spirit of God could SO
geometrize the wondrous architecture
of the spider and the bee, or hang the
hillstar's nest in air, or sling the ham,
mock of the tiger-moth, or curve the
ramparts of the beavers fort, and build
the myriad homes without hands in
which fish, bird, and insect make their
abode? The spirit Of God is with them
as with us-consciously with us, uncon-
sciously with them. We are not di-
vided, but one in His care and love.
They have their mansions in the Faith
ers house, and we have ours; but the
house is one, and the Master and Keep
er is one for us and Them"

THE St. Louis Republican says" Funny
things happen on the Iron Mountain
Railway as we'll as other lines. For in
stance, letter came lately to President
Allen complaining Of a certain passenger
conductor. The complaint declared
that he had offered the offending con-
ductor a 20 cent box of IS best anti
tlllous pills in return for passage to
Carondelet, said passage being worth III
coin 10 cents. The complainant thought
it very hard indeed, and altogether a
fraud, when genuine % cent box of
anti-bilious pills wouldn't balance 10
cent railway fare, He wanted to know
what freedom was worth, and where was
the American eagle when such things
were allowed. The conductor was not
discharged. No pills wanted by the
Hot Springs route

THE MISSING L1NK.-Some years ago
traveller came back from Africa with
a marvellous story of region inhabited
by men with tails. From quite another
quarter of the world the report now
reaches us that the half ape, half man,
is no myth. The Rev George Brown,
who has recently visited the New
Britain and New Ireland group of
islands to the east of New Guinea,
writes that the natives of Blanch posi-
lively affirm the existence of a race of
men with tails at place called Kalili
When it was suggested that the sup
posed men might be gorillas the blacks
Indignantly resented the imputation
upon their intelligence, and asked
whether apes fought with spears, plant
ed yans and built houses A minute
description was given Of the curiously
formed savages, and from this it would
appear that nature has been somewhat
inconsiderate in her design of the APP
pendage. The tail, the natives say, is
hard and inhexible-so much SO that
they have to dig a hole in the ground
before they can sit down, as they die at
once if the appendage is broken The
people provided with, this dangerous
ornament are, however, represented as
rather proud Of it. "Any child born
without it is destroyed, for fear it should
be ridiculed when it grows up"
