The Duluth Tribune. the great. r

The Duluth Tribune, the great re-
ligious family journal, has lost two
and but two subscribers, it says, 'sby
reason OF the views expressed as to
the teachings of the superstitions of
the moss-cOvered clergy"
What is the use of raising all these
issues about religion! The world is
bad enough now; what would it be if
you convinced all mankind that there
was neither God nor heaven nor hell :
There are tens of thousands of devOt-
ed men in all lands and all churches
who are giving the labors of their
lives to making men honest and virtu-
GUS. What will be gained by sweep
ing them all away, Does Unbelief
propose to supply their places by
new set of workers. Not bit of it
There can be no such workers unless
they are animated by a divine enthu-
sIasm which only religion can give.
There has never been a police-force
Of morals in the world unassociated
with some form of religious belief.
The man who Intentionally makes
men morally worse than they are is an
enemy Of his kind. The man who
does this by indirection, by breaking
down human faith in all external
spiritual forces. is nearly As bad. A
nation without religion would be a
nation of prostitutes and thieves.
And right here we would quote the
following significant utterancc from a
New York paper:
One Of the oldest bankers here saws
he never knew 30 distrustful time:
that while the number Of failures is
large. TIE worst feature ia that almost
every one brings to light some new
form OF deception or fraud. and that It
Is more difficult than he ever knew it

with them in your state. If YOU
know any Swedes that are greenback
men send us their names and address
as we can send them sample copies
or IL you know any Americans that
are good greenback men, and live in
the neighborhood of Swedish settle

for which it is published, mentioning
that we send sample copies free to
anybody that will send us a card for

but such is not the case. Many of our

How to Cure a Cold.

If cold settles on the outer coverings of the
lungs, it becomes pneumonia, Inflammation of
the lungs, or lung fever, and in many cases car
res off the strongest man to the grave within q
week If cold falls on the inner coverings of
the lungs, it is plurisy, with its knfelike pains
and its slow, very slow recoveries. If cold set
ties in the joints it is rheumatism, with the ago
MES of pain, and rheumatism of the heart,
which snaps asunder the chords of life with no
friendly warning 1t is of the utmost practical
Importance, then, in the wintry weather, to
know not so much how to cure cold as to avoid
it. Cold always comes from one cause-some
part of the body being colder than natural for u
time If a person will keep his feet warm al
ways, and never allow himself or herself to be
chilled, he or she will never take cold in life
time; and this can only be accomplished by due
care in warm clothing and avoidance of drafts
and exposure. While multitudes of colds come
from cold feet, perhaps the majority arise from
cooling off too quickly after becoming little
warmer than is natural from exercise or work
or from confinement to a warm apartment.

DID YOU HELP HIyIe

Y ears ago, your brother over the way fell into
the sDares of the tempter, became dlssipated, or
perhaps for some criminal offence was lncarce-
rated in a felon's cell, and for long time it
seemed as if he had fallen to rise no more. You,
perhaps, among the rest, deemed him irrecover-
ably gone. Once you were his friend, perhaps
the warmest he had on EARTH You would have
done anything for him. But in his deep fall you
gave him up, and believed he would never rise
again. But his better angel returned, and an
oiuted his eyes, and melted his heart, and in
profound bitterness of soul he wept over his er
rOrs, and resolved, God helping him, that he
wonld try and recover his lost fame and purity.
Who tell the agones of his first remorse,
the trepidation of his first struggles to regain
what he had lost and throw of the chains of
vice that had enthralled him' He looked to see
if there were any to encourage his efforts and
take brothers interest in his feeble beginnings
in retracing his steps. He thought of You. He
said within himself, "surely may count upon
hopes Did You help him! Or did you say, l
have no confidence in his resolutions, 10 faith in
his promises
He struggled on. Often his soul sunk within
him, as he met and another of his old friends,
and saw in their averted eyes or distant greet
ing, how hard it is to regain lost confidence.
But he struggled Oh, bracing himself to meet and
conquer the obstacles to his return. And again
he thought of you, and said to himself, she will
surely begin to contide in me, and cheer me with
his sympathy, and rejoice over my recovery"
But no, you stood aloof STILL
And now, years have passed since he began to
return to the path of rectitude. He has COM
PEELED enemies to do him justice, and friends
have gathered around him who believe in and
love him. He thanks God and takes courage,
and renews the effort to attain an honorable
name by fulfilling his duty to all. But even now
a chill comes over his heart when he thinks that
you who were once dearer than a brother, have
been tacit enemy in all his great struggle: for
he who helps not, binders, in such a conflict.
No, you never helped him when he needed help.
When lie was in his Summer days you smiled on
him : when Winter came you spurned him. or
said, "stand by, am boiler than thou" Well,
he has reached the position which he now occu-
pies without your aid, and he may continue to
rise in the path of dnty and honor, without your
favor. But how will it be hereafter, when both
shall stand in the Judgment, and the once lost
wanderer shall rise up redeemed, and angels
shall sing, "The lost is found, the dead is alive
againiD Will it not then be a torturing thought
that you never helped him in his life and death

He was an old hypocrite, and when he had done

Lord to topple it over on him if he had done
anything offensive in His sight. Well, We boys
found il out, and one day when we saw the Deacon
making for the wall, welgot on the other side
and waited. He kBelt down, to his usual custom,
and went through his usual formula, closing
with the petition to have the wall tOpple over if
he had done anything wrong. And We toppled

Sleep for Children.

There is no danger that children can sleep too
much. The old proverb, "who sleeps. eats" is
illustrated in those children who sleep most.
Wakeful children are almost always peevisil, ir-
ritable and lean. Ifthsy can be induced to sleep
abundantly, they are quite likely to become good
nstured and plump. Their sleep should be as
much during tho hours of darkness rs possible,
and therefore it is better that they go to bed be-
fore sunset to have their sleep out, than to lie
long after sunrise in the morning. 1t is well to
let any healthful growing child or young person
sleep till he wakens himself, and then give him
such variety and amount of outdoor exercise as
shall make him glad when bed time comes again.

near the block house, which stands on the high
bluff which commands the entrance to the Har-
Dor of Erie, and they lay there until 1909, when
his son went on from Chester Co., Pa, to Erie,
in sulky. (two-wheelsd carriage,) and removed
them to their present resting place: On arriv-
ing at Erie, be employed "Old Dr. Wallace" so
called to distinguish him from the present DIR.
Wallace, to take up his fathers remains, pack
the bones in as small a space as possible, and
lash them on to the hind part of his snlky DIR.
Wallace took mp the remains, and found them in
perfect state of preservation, except one foot.
He had been buried in full uniform, aud the
boot of the decayed foot was also deeayed, while
the other boot remained sound; and a man by
the name of Duncan has mate to it, and wore
them out. Duncans foot, Ike the Generals, was
very large. DIR. Wallace cut and boiled the flesh
of the bones, packed them in box, dashed them
on to the carriage, and they were brought and
