s'SoMEBoDY ELsE."-A lady was walk
ing quietly along the city street, not long
ago, when the door of house flew open, a
boy shot out with a whoop like wild In-
dian. Once on tlfe pavement he danced a
sort of double shuttle all around curb
stone, and then raced down the street in
great haste, for it was evident, by the books
under his arm, he was going to school.
The lady was thinking what thoughtless,
noisy creatures healthy boys always are,
when a few yards before her she saw some
thing yellow lying on the stones. Coming
nearer she fancied it was pine shaving,
and looked after the boy again. She saw
him suddenly stop shor. in a crowd of peo-
pie at a crossing, and come back as fast as
he had gone, so that just before she reach
ed the shaving he did-and picked up, not
shaving at all, but long, Shiny banana
skin. Flinging it into a refuse barrel, he
only waited long enough to say, "Somebody y
might have slipped on it," and was of
again.
1t was a little thing to do }; but that one
glance of the boys clear, gray eyes, and
this simple, earnest sentence, made the
lady's heart very warm towards the noisy
fellow. He had slipped himself; he wa.
far past the danger, and when one is in
hurry, it is great bother to go twice ove1
the same ground, but the somebody else
might slip, and so for the sake of this un
known somebody the Eurrying boy came
back, and may be saved the life or limbs o.
| feeble old man, or tender little child
He might have said, 81 can't wait to gt
back. 1t is none of my doing, and so it {.
| none of my business - but he made it hi
| business, and in this showed trait o
| character which promised well for the fu
ture. There is nothing nobler on eartl
than this taking care that somebody else
shall not suffer needlessly. The child wht
grows up with such spirit always activ.
in him, may make his home like a HEAVIER
upon earth and he will never know wha
it is to be unloved or friendless.

ing abyss many fathoms deep-closed from
ABOVE by the locked cages-all below look
ing dark and horrible.
None, of course, knew his danger his
hands were chilled by the freezing rope /;
his arms, already fully exercised, began to
ache aud stiffen with the strain and intense
cold, added to the bewil6ering sense of
hopeless peril. Good need there was then
that pluck and endurance be found in the
shaitman His square, sturdy frame and
unf1pching spirit were now in on their
trial. Had his presence of mind gone or
bis nerve failed, he must have been para
lyzed with fear, lost his hold, and been
dashed into an unrecognizable mass.
But self preservation is a potent law, and
working in such spirit he framed a des-
perate plan for q struggle for life. The
guiders running down the inside of the
shaft are fastened OH to the cross beams
about six feet apart. johnson hoped that
If he could reach one of these he might OBJ
tain footing whereon to rest, and by their
means Chamber up to the opening in the
brattice work. How to reach them was
the next question that flashed lightning
like through his brain. This he essayed
to do by causing the rope to oscillate from
side to side, hoping thus to bring himself
within reach of one of the cross beams.
And now commenced fearful suing
Gaining lodgmens with one knee in the
loop, he set the rope swinging by the mo-
tion OF his body, grasping out wildly with
one hand each time he approached the
side of the shaft. Once, twice, thrice he
felt the cold icy face of the clubbing" but
as yet nothing but Shiny boards met his
grasp, affording no more hold than the
CLASSY side of al iceberg.
At last he touched cross beam, to which
his iron muscles, now fully reused 20 their
work, held on like a vice. He soon found
footing on the beam below, and then let
ting go the treacherous rope, rested in
comparative security before beginning the
perilous ascent. With Incredible endur-
ance of nerve and muscle he clambered up
ward alongside the guider, by the aid of
The cross beams, and by thrusting his
hands through the crevices Of the timber.
In this manner he reached the opening
into shaft B, where the cage in which he
| had descended was waiting. Chilled,
| cramped and frozen, and barely able to
give the signal he was drawn to the pit
| mouth PROSTATE and exhausted, The boy
| was rescued unhurt by a man being lower
ed to The top of the cages in shaft A.
johnson suffered no i'll consequences, and
hough a hero above many known to fame
| ne still pursues his hardy task as a shafts
| man while beneath the homely exterior
| still lives the pluck and snew of iron that
did not fail him even in his Fearful Swing.

HERE is a Baltimore tramp's story: AT
Perryville l went to a house with a brick
in my hand and asked the lady if she would
please be so kind as to put some.butter on it.
The request excited her curiosity. and she
asked: why do you want to put butter on
a brick?' told her l was going to eat it.
Surely she said, you are not SO hungry
as to eat buttered brick E? Come into the
house and IN give you food baggcd a
square meal, for which had set so slick a
trap. In the western section of the State |
asked at a house for something to eat, and
on being refused begged for looking glass,
which Of course excited inquiry, and when
l replied that wanted to see myself starv-
ing to death, il brought what was after"

THE SIsTINE MADoNNA.-The Dresden
gallery is the finest collection north of the
Alps. The Sistine Madonna alone is
enough to make a gallery famous. 1t is
the most celebrated picture in the world.
1t has been reproduced so often i'm copies,
engravings, chromos and photographs that
it would be difficult to find person who
is not familiar with the conception-the
Holy Virgin, with the child Jesus in her
arms, standing on the clouds, ST. Sixtus on
her left, below, looking up adorinCly, St.
Barbara on her right, with her face turned
toward the spectator, and beneath two lit
tie cherubs leaning over railing repre-
sented near the frame. The pose and ac-
tion of the figures especially of the Virgin,
are admirable the expression sweet, pure
and rapt. Raphael was in the best period
of his short life when lie painted this pic
ture, and taken nltogether-the dignity of
the subject, The beauty of the coloring, the
symmetry of the composition, and tue soul
which his genius here best displays-it is
worthy of its fame. Properly it occupies a
room by itself, and the art lover, who re-
turns TO it again and again, finds that it
daily increases its hold upon his imagina-
tion. The picture is about eight feet seven
inches high and six feet four inches wide.
1t was carefully restored in 1916.

THE CROPS.

The Dubuque Times publishes crop
reports from about forty counties in
Iowa. 1tsays:
From all quarters comes the worl
that the average is unusually large,
that the growth Of straw is very heavy,
and but for the threatening rust and
chinch bugs in some localities, it would
yield the heaviest crop for many years
if we except last year. Wheat, east of
the Cedar valley, will be damaged a.
bout 10 to Is per cent; west Of the val
ley it will be i full average CROP Corn,
although backward, has a good start
and a strong root, and promises an av-
erage yield. Oats, barley and rye are
unusually heavy, while the fruit crop
is generally up to average. Wherever
flax is grown it is excellent.
A Chicago dispatch says:
The crop reports printed in the Tri-
bnne this morning are full Ut promise
to the hard working farmers of the
Northwest. The respondent anxiety
OF two weeks ago, caused by the pro-
tracted wet weather, has given place to
an almost assured certainty of repe-
tition Of last years bountlful yield
One week Of bright hot weather, COM
ing just in the nick of time. has been
the salvation of the corn crop, and has
been worth millions to the ripening Of
wheat, oats and barley.

PAGE ACQUITTED.

The Impeachment trial ended last
week by the acquittal, or rather the
failure to impeach Judge Page. The
Pioneer-Press says:
The first five articles, indeed, which
were rather illustrative Of Pages gen
eral course of conduct than proper mat
tiers of impeachment, were passed over
with only from one to three votes for
conviction. But on the remaining ar
ticles which were relied upon Ivy the
prosecution. the vote was us follows:
On the sixth, q votes ''guilty," and 20
mot guilty. On the seventh II voted
guilty and "a not guilty. On the eighth
% voted guilty and 10 not guilty. On
the ninth q voted guilty and Is not
guilty. On the tenth II voted guilty
and "A not guilty.
A two-thirds vote being necessary to
convict, the Judge escaped by the skin
of his teeth.
We have refrained from comment up
on this attempt to impeach the Judge,
preferring to wait for the facts, and be-
lievlng that nothing could be more I'M
fair and indecent than continual news
paper comment before or during such
a trial. We have always held that the
attempt to impeach President johnson
and the daily howl and demand of the
Republican press for conviction during
the progress of the trial was about the
most infamous episode in American
history. It showed the merciless, un-
fair, blind and cruel spirit of great
party organization, demanding the re-
moval and disgrace Of 4 chief magis-
trate because he was not in sympathy
with the extreme demands of the party.
AS to the Page impeachment, it was
the result of local, political sQuabble,
inst,gated by local politicians who
wanted to put Page out of the way.
It has cost the State somewhere about
$50, 900 to gratify the spleen of the
Mower county politicians, and while
we think It was beneath the dignity of
Judge to enter into partizan contro-

THE LAND RFLSINE,SS

HE LdND Is OSINESS.
The Cleveland Herald, which thinks
that probably one settler has been up to
Minnesota looking for land, of course
with view to catching fur-bcaring an
imals and killing white bears, is invit-
ed to look at a few figures for the month
Of May:
The Northern Pacific Company sold
GOSH acres, valued at $685., 479.
The st. Paul II Pacific, Main and
Branch, sold S9,56S acres, valued at
S251, so7.
The st. Paul & Sioux City Company
sold ,147 acres and the Sioux City &
st. Paul 1902 acres, together 81, 1s9
acres, valued ut $1O3,7O9. Total for
these railroads, $l31 ,59S acres valued ut
SG43, OS4.
And here are some OF the entries at
the Land Offices:
Fargo office, $40 new claims, aggre-
eating 12s, o22 acres.

THE CONGRESSMAN.

OlmSteau county, on Saturday last,
elected delegates favorable to Dunnell
and adopted resolutions endorsing him.
Hon. NJ. II. Dunnell will undoubted-
ly be his own successor. All the Re-
held in the district have instructed for
him. Watonwan will do the san to-
day at Madelia.- James Journal.
We understand that Gen. J. II. Ba-
ker, of M;,nkato, is on the track for
member OF Congress form this District
and is developing considerable strength
throughout the District. Gen. Baker
is probably the most able man on the
stump that we have in the District and
if he is nominated he of course will be
elected and will prove All able and
influential member.-Jackson Repub-
| lie.
The Republicans of Winona county
speak very emrhatically in favor Of
the denomination of Mr.. Dunnell for
Congress from this district. A strong
delegation in his favor was chosen to
represent the county ut Owatonna, and
resolution recommending that lie be
re-nominated was adopted unanimous
ly. A like sentiment prevailed
| throughout the Observation-Disclosures Re-
publican.
| The Mankato Union comes out flat
footed for Gen. Baker for Congress.
And it hits office holders a dig as fol-
| lows:
| Even under Hayes beneGcent civil
service policy, which preserves the
manhood of the otfice-holders and
elevates them above mere party tools,
some of Mr.. Dunnell's ofiice-holders
still imagine that they are living IN
der the old regime, and in contem pit of
the Presidents circular of instructions
to office-holders. are still perambulat-
ing this district, urging the faithful to
continued diligence.
The Window Reporter is out strong
ly for Dunnell and says:
It is a little 'cheeky'' for the Union
to attempt to put upon the Republi-
cans Il man whose garments that party
mistrust against such man rs Mark
II. Dunnell. whose devotion to the Re-
publican party and the people Of his
district cannot he questioned. n
weaker man than Baker could not be
nominated or one who would stand a
| better chance for defeat.
