Where They Began.

Senator Davis, of West Virginia. is
one of the most popular men, being a
self-made man, as the following REM
iniscence shows: In 1882 dinner party
was given in New York City. Henry g.
Davis sat at one end of the table, Simon
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, sat at the
other, and General w. L, Sherman ut
the head. The General began a rem-
iniscence of his life by saying:
when Twas Lieutenant--"
''Come, now, Sherman, interrupted
Mr.. Davis, ''were you ever a. Lieuten-
ant?'
''Yes, Davis" he replied, II was a
Lieutenant about the time you were a
brakeman on freight train

don't suppose either of you ever cut
cordwood for living, as ] did."-C1I-

ABOUT BROODERS.
The Next Best Thing to a Good, Motherly
Old Hen.


Several correspondents want directions
for making good, cheap brooder for
raising a limited number of early chicks.
The cheapest and best brooders for the
purpose are good, motherly old hens. /
know some hens will "raise Cain" with
their broods. but such are the excep.
tions; generally speaking large hen in
proper coop win care for twenty
chicks in way that ought to convince
the most prejudiced incubator manufac-
turer that she knows what is required
of her. But if you feel that the .''exi-
geneies of the case' demand a home-
made brooder, all you have to do is to
get sound box, cover it with tank for
holding water, and keep the water hot
by means of small boiler heated by a
kerosene lamp, or by drawing of the
cold water and filling up with hot water
as often as necessary. The top of the
tank must be covered with some nom
conductor of heat, else it viii cool of
more rapidly than is desirable. Under

Mistaken Ideas-How Thousands of Boys
Are Ruined.
Early in life the thought occurs that
to throw off the guidance and direction
of parents and friends, to be self-di-
rected, is manly; that to adopt the hab-
its, the manners, the course of life of
companions, however Objectionable
that course may be, is manly. Thou

ruined by what are wrongly termed
"manly habits" No well brought-up
boy but would feel blush of shame on
ordering and drinking spirits for the
first time in a public place, but pres
emily, in imitation of those who do not
blush, the ''manly habit would be
contracted, and life commenced

scared and dulled, is ever true in its
pointing to the right path, its faintest
doubts should lead away from tempta-

termination. There should be no par
leying or reasoning when conscience
says No. Conscience is the manifest
instinct, and to obey its teaching, and
to follow its leading, is in the highest
and best sense to be manly.

Who Tills Gould's Farm

New York, April 13.-Regarding the
threatened boycott of Jay Gould by the
central labor union, Robert Blissert, the
great labor agitator, said of it yester-
day: "Just as John Browns death was the
first death in the rebellion, so the death of
these innocent people in East ST. Louis are
the first in the new rebellion that is sure
to come. Negro slavery had to go after
John Brown died; 50 white slavery has to
go, and go it will. We won't burn down
Gould's house, for labor built it; we must
build rather then destroy; but the boycott
is Q weapon more silent and more effective
than fire. and we shall see if Gould can
withstand it. The strikers are going to be
well supported by u.s."
Jay Gould was asked if he had discov-
cred in what way the members of the CEN
trail labor union proposed to boycott him.
He replied he had not, and confessed he
was curious to know. Looking down at
his clothes, he remarked, II have had this
suit two winters, and guess + can get
along with it while longer, if the tailors
boycott me; then you know raise almost
every thing eat on my place at Irvington,
so I need not be alarmed about getting
food"

persons were killed in that city and more
than 100 injured, many very seriously.
superintendent Wakeman, of the Mani
toba railroad, says that between thirty and
forty persons were killed at Sauk Rapids,
and in a small town on the Manitoba and
Northern Pacific roads, few miles south
east of st. Cloud, nearly double that num-
Der were injured. Telegraph wires north
west of this city are down, and no news,
direct from either St. Cloud or Sauk Rap
ids has been received since o'clock.
A TERRIFIC THUNDER STORM
passed over st. Paul and Minneapolis about
6oclock, and heavy hail storm followed
though of but short duration. In fact, one
storm cloud after another has swept across
the state since last evening, and the rain
fall has been heavy. The storm is the worst
known in the state since 1888, when
Rochester and Elgin were devastated by a
tornado.
THE LATEST
reports give the number of killed in st.
Cloud as fifteen and injured about twenty
five, and at Sauk Rapids fifteen killed and
twenty injured. Another terrific thunder
storm Is prevailing here which interferes
greatly with wires.

Enforcing the Sunday Law,

GRAND Forks, OAK. April 14-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The Sunday law was vigorously en-
forced here last Sunday. Barber shops
were closed, and those who depended on
"going to market" in the morning for lit
tie meat were disappointed, as were those
who 60 early for 'bitters." Not place of
business was allowed to remain open.
Drug stores even were closed, and the milk
man On his daily rounds was arrested for
breaking the peace. A brewery wagon
with load of beer for shipment by ex-
press was halted and its driver arrested.
A baker who sold loaf of bread and a
nickel's worth of peanuts was also ar
rested, and it was impossible to get cigar
or newspaper. 1t is thought by some
that this move was inaugurated for the
sole purpose of influencing the forthcom-
ing municipal election. Complaints are
made that the authorities watched the
streets too closely, and did not stop ball
game and militia drill at the fair grounds.
1t is said that next Sunday the lines will
be drawn still closer.

namely: The acceptance Of bribes for
votes on the Broadway railroad franchise
question. Later in the day, ex-aldermen
McCabe and O. Reilly were arrested. The
first one, who passed through what is now

violence and destruction of property, but
at the same time denouncing as murder
the cold blooded shooting done by hired

women and children, and declaring that
those dastardly murderers, instead of re-
tardlng or impeding the work of unifica-
ton among the industrial classes, only bind
hood the wage earners of this country,
and that organized labor will not
rest until all the perpetrators
of those diabolical and murderous out
