WEDDING DAY.
BY MARaARET J. PRESTON.

They stood together, hand In hand.
Amid the happy wedding cheer,
Upon the bo der of n land
Whose rare, enchanted atmosphere

He was.ihe man OF men for her
She, the one woman made Tor him.

Five years ago Tonight
They knew the realm that st etched beyond
Held heights wherein the purple play
OF loves futi sunshine, fair and fond,
Was never seen To fade away.
They knew that there were CUFFS to cross,
and many a tangled path To tread
But whether strewn with fiints or moss,

But cnui it, dear, be 9th wise
With YOU to We me so-with vou

They had n al red To ask so much
OF bliss that should not know alloy,
Or hope that time would lay touch
So gentle on tucir perfect JOY,
As flashed the future on their sight

The heights that stretch before their gaze,
Like Beulah's, their rapt vision fill:
The tender sheen Of spp sal da =

Her foot has OILY feat the moss,
And hts has spurned the ilints aside;

WHEN the late Bishop Wherefore
demonstrated with one of his clergymen
for hunting, the latter retorted that
dancing was more unclerical than hunt
ing, and that ne had noticed his Lord
ships name Us one of those present at
the last state ball. "True," said the
Bishop, "but / was not in the same
room with the dancers" "A parallel
case to mine, my Lord" replied the
clergyman, "for ride such inferior an

The Temperance Work.

Prohibition is not dead, but only de-
ferrcd. The Constitutional Amendment
Agitation Committee is to be enlarged
and rcorganized for work between now
and the next election of members Of the
Legislature.
The people will hear from this commit
tee in good time, and work such as was
never before done in Minnesota will be
done
Eighty per cent. of crime comes from
the use of strong drink, and the people are
not always going to endure this >unneces-
sary burden.
Never before did the press of this coun-
try have so much to say about this traffic as
at present. Such papers as the New York
Tribune, Chicago Tribune. Inter Ocean,
Minnesota Tribune, and many other lead
ing papers, are discussing the drink traffic,
and it ''must 60" In the meantime, there
is Il general sentiment in favor of making
the saloons pay for a part of the burden
which their business imposes upon the
people in the form of a higher license,
which is merely tax upon their bust
ness.
VIII the Austin Common Council hear
ken to the very general demand of the
better sort of citizens, andiraise the saloon
tax to $3.50?
We shall see what we shall see. l..

The New Postal Notes.

The postofice department is not requlr-
ed to furnish postal notes until Sept. 8,
but it is thought the blanks will be ready
and the notes also by July I. The new
notes will be about as large as green
back, and of all denominations from
cent up to $500. The fee for the notes
will be thesame in all cases up to S5.-3
cents. The notes can be bought at the
postoffice as postage stamps now are.
They are payable to bearer any time with
in three months from the last day of
the month Of ISSUE One form is used for
all denominations, the size of it being not
only stated in the body Of the note, but
punched out at the office Of issue. The
note states where it was issued, and the
name of the office to which 1t was sent.
When the note is paid the holder is re-
quired to put his signature upon it. Sim
liar notes have been in use in Great Brit
ain, where they are very popular and use
full They are not of course in any coun-
try as safe against loss or fraud as the
postal order. but they are more conven-
lent especially for the transmission of
small sums through the mails. They take
the place of the old fractional currency
and also of postage stamps when used az
currency. These notes will not be aban-
doned after their usefulness once becomes
known to the people. The need of such
currency has long been felt, and if the
issue becomes very large no doubt the fee
of issue viii be reduced until the British
scale is reached if not passed.-Er.
