TIE STORMS

The Storm epidemic seems 70 have aLat-
ell somewhat. Since the great storm
noticed in our List issue, three or fom
others have dclhGed portions Of the coun-
ty iii good shape. Last Friday great dam
age was done at Forest city, unrooilng
buildings and blowing nany fat. On
Sunday hail fellow" came up from the
W st and perpetrated more mischief than
all the other storms of the season com
blned. The particulars are rather mca-
ger so far. At lIigbmore many lights were
dashed out. As the storms proceeded in
an easterlY direction, the heavy portion
Of it ntruck Hand county south of Rec
Heights. Passing through 10 and Ill
60 and 6S, the damage done 10y bail was
in strip about SIN miles wide. The real
savage part of the storm was perhaps less
than a half mile wide.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
STATE OF MINNESOTA,
Executive Department. !

In obedience to law and custom do here
by set apart and appoint Thursday, the
twenty-sixth day of the present month, as
day of solemn and public Thanksgiving to
Almighty God for His continued blessings
and mercies. The people Of Minnesota have
been led onward through another season in
substantial prosperity and happiness. Peace
and order have prevailed General health
fitness has continued and labor has obtained
employment and it's need. Abundant har-
vests have rewarded the care Of the husband
man. The violence Of the elements has been
tempered and pestilence averted from the
people and their f1ockS and herds. Our ma
terial interests have been prosecuted with
success, and our hearts concern in and sup
port of the great agencies of moral and social
amelioration have been maintained.
Wherefore I recommend and exhort the
people of the State that on the day aforesaid,
laying aside their ordinary avocations and
assembling in their usual places of worship
and around their sacred fresides they cele-
brate in joyfulness of hea with fitting words
and ceremonies the praises of our Father of
Mercy, the Giver of every good.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the State, at the
capitol, in St. Paul, this sew
TGreat Seal. enth day of November, A. d.
one thousand eight hundred
and eighty-five.
L. F. HUBBARD.

FRED Won BAUMBACH, Secretary of State.

What is it to grow old?
Is it to lose the glory of the form'
The luster of the eye? 4,,o
Is it for beauty to fOrego her Wrealh'
Yes, but not this alone.
Is it to feel our strength
Not our bloom only, hut our strehs' n-uo0"S'
Is it to feel each limb
Grow SITTER. every function less exact,
Each nerve more loosely strung!
Yes, this. and more; but not,
An its not what in youth we dreamed
'twould be,
TITS not to have our life
Mellowed and softened as with sunset-glow,
A golden days decline.
TITS not to see the world
As from height, with rapt prophetic eyes,
And heat profoundly stirred;
And weep and feel the fullness of the past,
The wears that are no more.
1t is to spend long days
And not once feel that we were ever young;
Is it TO add, immured
In the hot prison OF the present, month
To month with weary pain.
It is to suffer this, -
And feel but half. and feebly, what we feel.
Deep in our hidden heart
Testers the dull remembrance OF cnange'
But no emotion-none.
1t is-last stage of all
When we are frozen up within and quite
The phantom of ourselves;
To hear the world applaud the hollow ghost,
Which blamed the living man.
Matthew Arnold.

WASHINGTON BUCKET SHOPS.

A Peep at the Persons who Habitu.
ally patrOnize Them.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The ''bucket
shops" of this city begin to brighten up
good deal They have had pretty hard
time of it during the past year. There are
two classes of people upon whom they rely
for most of their business. One is the
congressman, and people of that class; the
other is the department employees. They
have had very few of either during the past
eight months. Members OF congress have
been out of town, and the department
people have been too badly scared over
prospect of removal to venture anything on
margins. They have been inclined to nus
band their money for once III their lives.
Now, however, the congressman are coming
back and business is Frightening up 1or tne
bucket shops You would be surprised to
see the class of people who patronize them.
Go into almost any of them, the most re-
tired the better, during the busy hours of
the day. and you are liable to find some
grave senator or frisky representative
studying figures on the blackboard with an
interest which shows that he has money up
on margins. Almost any day you may see
a very prominent Grant official. whose name
Is known throughout the literary world,
drive quietly to brokers' Office near the
treasury, slip quietly in and spend ten or
fifteen minutes examining the blackboard.
His is only sample case. They are all
annoyed if you catch them at it, but they
keep it up and the brokers go on getting
rich off them, while in nine cases out OF
every ten the statesmen grow poorer the
longer they speculate.

been suspended. The amount of money
appropriated for the completion of the
buildings has all been used. The amount
appropriated for furnishing the building
and putting in hot water still lies in the
treasury, and will probably re-
main there until the buildings are
completed, as the war department will
not likely allow this work to be done before
they are complete or allow the money to be
used on the work, other than that for which
it was appropriated 1t is thought that
when the board of inspection makes its re-
port work may be continued, but it is not
thought that anything will be done until
after the next session of congress adjourns.
