'swhen HIS Heart Thawed Out"

One day two or three years ago gruff
old man, hard-hearted and given to
drink, and living alone in a house on
Gratiot street, found a crippled boy nine
or ten years of age crying in front of his
door. 1t was his way to curse children
and drive them away, bnt in this in
stance he spoke kindly to the lad, and
even sympathized with him. For that
once his hardened heart seemed to thaw
out, and men who noticed his kind ac-
ton wondered greatly.
By and by the crippled boy, known
as jake, seemed to grow into the old
mans heart and spent hours with him
at his house. He was, so far as any one
could remember, the first and only hu-
man being to say kind word for gruff
old Ben.
When the old man fell sick few
weeks ago nobody missed him for sew
eral days. Indeed, no one cared much
whether he was sick or well, but some
one interested himself enough to dis
cover that the sick man was being
nursed by the cripple. The days and
nights must have been terrible lone
some to the lad, but he was faithful to
the last. The other morning he quietly
announced to the neighbors that old
Ben was dead. Those who went in
ound the rooms in neat order, the dead
man lying as if asleep, and the money
to bury him was safe in an old wallet in
the bureau. When they asked jake
about it he explained:
"He died as easy as a baby. Long
at first he used to curse and swear about
his sickness, but after while he let me
read the Bible to him, and sometimes 1
saw tears in his eyes. !"
"Folks thought him hard man.
"But he wasn't. When his heart
thawed out he was like a child. One
day I brought him from the chest lot
of old letters, the photograph of wo-
man and baby, and he cried over them.
I guess they were dead, and I guess he
had lots of trouble"
"Did he die easy?"
Gust like going to Sleep" answered
the lad. cit was Just at daylight. I
sat by the bed and had fallen asleep
when he put out his hand and whispered:
Jake, I'm dying ? With that I jumped
up to do something, but he said it was
too late. There was a great change in
him. All the hardness had gone out of |
his face, his eyes had kind look, and |
the boys who used to be afraid Of him
wouldn't have known him for the same
man. Twas reading to him from the old |
Bible when all at once his fingers let go
of my hand and he was dead.
"And then ?"
The boy turned away and wept.
From the day gruff old Ben had ad-
dressed him kind word the prayers of
a child pleading for wicked man had
been heard in Heaven. He had prayed
for him in life and after death, and if |
the prayer had not brought that peace
full look to the white, dead face, what
else could have done it M. Quad.

1he DoCorafIon oF the Graves.

Macon, Ga, Telegraph and Messenger.
The Grand Army OF the Republic is al
ready preparing for Federal Decoration
Day, and it has been decided by some
posts to use no decoration except the Stars
and Stripes. This is as noble use as the
old flag can be put to. There is peculiar
fitness in having it honor the men who
fought for it. 1t is at once q monument
to the cause for which they died and a
symbol of their victory. AS 1t floats over
each tomb the soldier and the cause for
which he fought will seem to live again.
The day for the decoration of the graves
of the Confederate dead is even nearer at
hand than that of the Federals. But the
decoration will and ought to be different.
The Grand Army of the Republic has cast
away flowers because they wither too quick
IL and cost too much. But in our genial
climate nature is not so sparing with her
| treasures. She lavishes them with plenti-
full hand. and no Confederate soldier is so
| poor but that a floral wreath may coYer
his resting place. We are glad too, that
| no soldier is so forgotten that loving hands
will not seek out his grave. We would not
| exchange our flowers for martial flags.
| Fresh from the hand of God and the smile
of nature, they are more fitting remem-
| ORANGES than the device of man. And
! when they pale and die they seem more Ia
sympathy with the dead hopes of the Con-
| federacy and the stiffness of death than
the symbols of strife, reused INTO defiance
| by each passing breeze. The Memorial
Society, which has cared for and tended
the Confederate graves, are already pre-
pairing for the Goth. 1t is work of love
on the part of the society, which should
meet with the sympathy and ready aid Of
all our people. We trust that an endless
profusion of flowers will be furnished, and
we may show to ourselves and the stran-
gers who may be with US that our love fol
the boys in gray is not diminished by the
| fight of years.

Capt. Sleeper of Brainerd and others in
terested, have placed on sale in the NIcol-
let house rotunda large number of
Brainerd city lots. Brainerd is without
question the boom Sown of the country
northwest of Minneapolis. Since the
establishment of the car shops of the
Northern Pacific railroad company at that
point, giving employment to some 1900
men, the growth of Brainard's growth and
Development as healthy and promising
commercial center, has been phenomenal.
To invest in a number of these lots now On
sale, is certain to bring big profits
to the capitalist, and to all who wish to
make their permanent home in thrifty
city, where there are any number of ex-
cellent business opportunities, no city can
offer greater inducements. These lots are
now worth from $3.50 TO $500 each, hand
somely located and many beautifully
shaded by a natural growth of timber
Those best posted respecting the prospects
of this city Of the Northwest are confident
in expressing the belief that the property
! will double in value by autumn.

The Miller furnishes the following re-
sumo of the product of the Touring mills
for the week:
There is less favorable condition of the
milling business to note this week, it seem
ing to be difficult for any considerable
amounts of flour to be disposed of at the
advance of last week, the inquiry falling
off and the markets rather assuming their
former unfavorable attitude. However, we
have more mills Running and larger pro-
duction to report, but unless there is a
change, this will undoubtedly not be the
case next week. The cry of the miller is
that wheat is too high for present prices
of -four, etc. According to good suthori-
ty, grain men are putting more than ordi-
nary stress on this argument, predictions
being rife that wheat will soon take a de-
cided drop. There were about sixteen mills,
out of the twenty-five in Minneapolis, in
operation the first part of the week, but
those running up to full capacity were in
the minority. The production of -four this
week will average not far from 14,200 bar
reIs per day, against II 800 barrels last
week. Outside mills are also starting up
to a considerable extent.

that any punishment will be visited upon

the happiness or existence of Stack; ths!
we hope he is where flowers are blooming.
and where pie is perennial; that this is the
way we think matters should be arranged
