TRAINING IN POLITENESS. Train
your children to be polite at home and
you will never have cause to blush at
their rudeness abroad The rosy
checked boy and girl and the strong
and vigorous young man who sit in
their comfortable seats in crowded cars,
while gray-headed grandfathers and
grandmothers tug at the straps, are poor
commentaries on home training. Moth
ing is cheaper than politeness, and
nothing pays better. 1t should not be
taught because it pays, but from prin
ciple. The young man who is negli-
gent of his mother and sister at home,
or the sister who is selfish and un-
thoughtful, will be no blessing to any
other home into which they are engraf-
ted until "they unlearn what they have
learned amisS." This is often difficult
and annoying and robs life of its sweet
est hours and its richest gifts. Train
your children in politeness and unselfsh-
ness in all little things, and the greater
will come without an effort.

How q Miller Paid the Parsons
Salary.

SCtLSL-.ys
4 worthy miIIer-as the story is
told in the Rev. Dunbar's memoir-
was once panied by hearing that the
minister was going away for want Of
support, the church having declared
that they could no longer raise his
salary. He called meeting and
address his brethren very modcstly, for
he was one of the poorest among the
comfortable farmers. He asked if the
want Of money was the only reason for
this change, and if all were united in
desiring the services of she pastor,
could they still keep him? There was
but one voice in the reply. The pastor
was useful and beloved; the flock was
poor,
s.WelI, replied the milIer,''I have
a plan BY which | can raise his salary
with out asking one Of you for dollar,
if you will allow me to take my own
way to do it, [ will assume the respon-
siblity for one year. Have I your
CONSENT
or course, they could not refuse
this; although they expressed surprise,
knowing the miller to be but a poor
man.
The year drew to close. The
minister has been blessed in his labors,
and no one had been called on for
money. When they came together,
the miller asked the pastor if his
wants had been supplied and his sal
airy promptly met? He replied in the
affirmative. When the brethren were
asked if they were any poorer than at
the beginning of the year, each one
replied. No" and asked how they
had paid nothing?" He asked again,
Is any man here any poorer for keep
inc the minister" and the reply was
the same as before. Then, " he said,
s.brethren | have only to tell you that
you have paiG the salary the same as
! You always did. only more of It, and
with greater promptness. You re-
member YOU told me to take nv own
way i'll this matter, and [ have done
50. AS each of you brought his grist
to mill | took out as much grain as I
thought your proportion, and laid it
away for the salary When harvest
was over [ sold it, and have paid the
minister regularly from the proceeds.
You confess that you are no poorer,
so you never missed it, and therefore
made no sacrifice Now, | propose
that you stop talking about poverty,
and about letting our minister go. and
add enough to his salary to make US
! feel that we are doing something"
Dr. Dunbar used to say: 20, for a
miller in every church, =

IG7g@The Pioneer Press Of Sunday
gives the particulars Of the storm at
New UIm on Friday. which resulted
in great loss Of life and property, as
follows: ''Friday e7ening the city
Of New Ulm was visited 5y one Of the
most disastrous cyclones that was ever
known to this country The first
place any Of the effects Of the fore
storm were seen was about three miles
west of New Ulm on the line Of the
Winona s. St. Peter road Here it
tore down house and killed a num-
Der of cattle and horses. The fami-
y saved themselves by going to the
cellar before the storm struck. From
where the storm struck the railroad
track the ground is lined with bed
ding and furniture. wagon wheels,
farm machinery, etc. The wind west
of New Ulm tore down the telegraph
poles. The crops were simply ruin
ed. The heads of the wheat were
cut off as clean and as smoth as
though done with heading machine.
From the place where the storm first
struck into New Ulm everything was
swept for a width of about one mile.
The sight is sickening in the extreme.
Trees were torn up by the roots aud
carried no one knows where. and not
a house or barn is left standing in the
line of the storm from where it first
struck until it reached New Ulm. A
gentleman who stood on the bluff two
miles north of New Ulm and witness
ed the cyclone said it was the grandost
yet most terrible sight he ever wit
messed. He says one cloud from the
northwest and one from the northeast,
When they met it appeared to him to
be contest as to which should have
the right way. The storm struck
New Uim at Ais and lasted just II
minutes, and IN that brief time not
less than 100000 worth of property
was destroyed and number of per
sons killed and many wounded. Dur
ing the storm there was perfect
blaze of fire balls. 1t would have
been almost as dark as midnight had

Maine this morning, at nine o'clock.
This event has been expected for sever
al days, as an amputation Of a limb has

ditioD and great age, it was not pre-
sumed he would survive the shock
many days. Judge Clifford was born
in Bumney, Grafton Co., N. H.,
August Is, 1903; was educated at
HaverhiIl Academy; studied law and
was admitted to the bar in 1927, when
he settled in Maine, In 1880, he was

member Of Congress. In 1916, he was

Commissioner to Mexico. and was af-
forwards Minister to that Republic.

THURSDAY, JULY %, 1881.
NOMINATE HON. II. B. SCOTT.

NOMINATE HON. II. 3. SCOTT.
The Medford Star and Ne,cs sets
forth in the following article some Of
the principle reasons why he should
be nominated:
1.-THE time for holding state con
ventions for the nomination Of ticket
to be voted for the coming fall is rap
idly drawing near, and candidates are
slowly looming up. Many names have
been mentioned for the gubernatorial
office, but two of which we will men
ton as the contest, In our opinion,
lies between them. They are Senator
Thos. B. Scott and Gen Jarry Rusk
Our candidate is Senator Scott, than
whom no better man for the Office can
be found in Wisconsin. He is a man
of few words but many ideas; an able
legislator, an experienced business
man, practical, sensible politician, a
firm friend, and honorable man. He
has been engaged in numbering for
years and his employees have always
looked upon ''Tom Scott as their
personal friend. In business he is
shrewd but honest, requiring from all
what is his due, and rendering to all
their due. He has acquired a fair
competency by strict attention to bus
mess and should he receive the nomi-
nation at the convention, and the
election in November the voters may
rely on the affairs Of the state being
conducted with the utmost care and
to the advantage of the state
Senator Thos. B. Scott was born at
Roxburyshirc, Scotland, on Feb. 9th
1929, and is consequently SO years of
age. lie received a common school
education, and came to Wisconsin at
the age of 10 years. He has held
many positions Of trast, in his town
and county, and has served in the
senate continuously since 1873, until
the present time, having been elected
to that office last fall by vote Of
5.l24, against 3,946 for Ambrose
Hoffman of Chippewa Falls. the dem
ocratic nominee.
In nominating Mr.. Scott for the
important Office Of Governor the con
vention will be placing at the head Of
the ticket man in whom the people
of the state have the utmost conf
dence won by years Of integrity and
ability in Office. He is not an Office
seeker, and it was only at the solicita-
tions Of many friends, oft repeated,
that he consented to have his name
placed before the people as a candidate
for the nomination. 1t is a well known
fact that the best men for Office are
not the men who are eternaIly hunt
ing for Office, and it is also a well
known fact in this district that Sen
ator Scott is not an Office seeker. He
has served the district in the legisla-
ture because he was chosen as the
fttest man for the position, but many
time. when his name has been pro-
posed at district convention, has Mr..
Scott used his influence to have some
other man nominated
