Some entertain the belief that in the lexI-
con of charity there is no such word as sim
position Unlike other believers they carry
It out in every day life. An Official, con-
nected with one of the most deserving char
liable institutions in ST. Paul. made a tour OF
the furniture establishments for the purpose
of gathering many articles essential TO the
comforts of the inmates of the institution
with which the Official was connected. This
visiting official was not supplied with ready
cash or VITA checks. Such little details were
not considered of an serious moment. Into
a store the official went and straiy htway the
clerk was directed TO place such aud such an

"Dust thou art" is Il sentence and a poet
ical quotation that can be applied, without
any great stretch OF the imagination to the
streets OF st. Paul at the present time. Along
Third street clouds of dust arise and partly
conceal from view the open and flowing river
at the foot OF the hill, as well as the snow
covered hills on the other side of the stream.
The dust is not confined to this thoroughfare,
but unlike the pavements, gas and water
mains, is all over the city. The question
naturally arises when ones lungs are inflated

stood and looked on while his brother, smaller
and younger than himself. pitched in and
whipped the third party most Numerically.
The fight over the two brothers made their way

narrated TO their father.
"How happened il, my SOM" queried the
father OF the non-fighter, "that you permitted
yourself TO be insuted and did not take up
the fsht? What were you doing all the time
that your brother was whipping the boy?''

TO create the impression that the Hon

publican nomination for governor. The ed
itor of the Dispatch further says that ''Mr
| SchefTer' authorized the statement that he
is in no sense a candidate for governor, but
that he is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for congress in this, the Fourth
| district.
