There was no rheumatism about him last
night. His agility in the dance would have
done credit to a youthful acrobat, and his
loneliness for fires is just as pronounced as
ever. There is nothing chestnutty about

Ridden tn the Feast.

A circular from the board of directors of
the Minneapolis industrial exposition was
yesterday received by the merchants. manu-
facturers and people of st. Paul, cordially in
viting them to avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity afforded by the exposition to present
Northwest at the exposition. The hope is ex-
pressed that the business men of the two
cities will make display that will not only
excite the admiration of visitors from all
parts of the Union, but standing side by side
with the displays made by the leading firms
show to the trade and the people OF the North
west that there is no occasion to go past these
cities for their supplies of any kind. The low
railroad rates will attract many visitors, who
will get their impressions of the Northwest
from the style and nature of the displays
made. -.

SOME POLITICAL HASH.

The pleasant face of Albert Scheffer
looked over the top of his private desk in
the Bank of Minnesota yesterday as GLOBE
reporter stepped in and asked him if the
political situation had assumed any new
phases. He smiled as he answered, mot Il
phase"
Mr. Scheffer has been away from his
desk during the past half week, and 1t was
suspected that he was trimming up his po-
litical hedges, but he stOutly denied that
there was any ground for the suspicion,
and stated that during his absence he had
not said word about politics. He has, he

DAKOTA POLITICS.
There is liable to be more or less fun
among the territorial politicians in Dakota
next fall. The fight for supremacy will be
between two well organized parties, the
Democrats and Republicans. At the Mer
chants yesterday j. c. Gill, county com
missioner in Cass county. and }. c. Mir
ply of Bismarck. assistant district attorney,
were found in the rotunda. They
did not object to being interviewed. but
they were exceedingly reticent regarding
their personal ambitions or prospects in the
coming fight. They said the indications
We're that there would be lively contest i'll
the fall. and that both parties would bring
their full force into the field. The interest
in the legislative contest will be increased
by the county campaigns, and before the
first of August the entire territory will be
simnering in the political caldron, There
are candidates and candidates for delegate
to congress. Among the most promising
seem to be Ey-Marsial Allen of Fargo, and
Governor Gil. Pierce. While the people
seem to he booming Governor Pierce for the
delegatesliip. Elk Marshal Alien is working
up his own interests. 1t seems to be the
impression that Clifford. the present incum-
bent. will be buried beneath the troubled
waters. So far as can be learned the Dem
ocrats and Republicans in the territory
were never better organized than they are
at the present time. The fight will be
clean trial of strength on legitimate
grounds.

THEY TALK POLITICS.
Prominent Men Drift TO This SUBJ
icct in the EsOtundas


The Hon. Henry Poehler, Henderson.
was all arrival at the Merchants yesterday.
He represented the old Second district in
congress from 1879 to 1881. defeating at
that time H. B. Strait, who two years
later defeated Mr.. Poehler In the latter
election the district was changed so that
the success of the Republican candidate
was assured, and Mr.. Strait has succeeded
IN being its representative, as from the new
Third district, ever since. Before going to
congress Mr.. Poehler was several times
sent to the state assembly as representative
and senator, and is one of the very few
Democrats of the state who has been per-
mitted to represent the state at the ma
tional legislature
-
Mr.. Poehler is a merchant at Henderson
and is likewise engaged in the banking
business. He is quite a large man, some
90 years OF age, whose plain face indicates
great decision of character and rare good
Judgment. He has been away from home
for the past few weeks and, as he eX-
pressed it, was not well posted on the cur
rent political affairs of the Second con-
greSSional district.
He was not prepared to admit that Con-
gresham Wakefield was out of the race for
a denomination for congress. but rather in.
clined to the belief that when the conven-
ton was held Wakefield would be in the
fight. He said that it was the opinion
about Henderson that the announcement of
Wakefeld's withdrawal was not made with
his authority, or at least was of a condi-
tiOnal character.
49,
L, FL. McKusick. Pine City, was about.
He has represented the district i'll the leg
lslature several times, and is Republican
OF the most pronounced type. He said that
in his opinion Fletcher of Minneapolis
would be the next congressman from this
(the FOURTH district, as he thought there
had been good many changes since the
last campaign and that as a result of the
changes Fletcher would succeed GiIhlian.
AS near as he could understand the stua-
ton the fight would be between Fletcher
of Minneapolis, Albert Scheffer of st.
Paul and Gillian OF Minneapolis.
Speaking of the race for governor, he
said that SO far the contest was between
Gilman and Gibbs, but he thought that a
new man, possibly Strait, would step up
and make lively squirt for first place as
the time for the convention approached.

STR EET SAYINGS.

A handsome life-size oil painting of Dennis
Ryan, the work of John Phillips, the re-
nowned portrait painter, stands on an easel in
the reading room at the Ryan. 1t is a won
derfully natural face that looks out from the
canvas at the passerby. But the most nat
ural feature of the painting, as was remarked
by citizen yesterday, is the writing on a
sheet of paper lying on desk near which
Mr.. Ryan is represented as standing.

the citizen, ''but that writing is the truest

A Brave Boy.

of the brave Covenanters, that he might
drag them to prison or death for the great
crime of reading the Bible, or meeting
for prayer or praise, one day we might
have seen, walking leisurely along, a
young Scotch laddie. He has book in

he is absorbed in its contents. But bark

Enjoy as You Go.

Some people mean to have a good
time when their hard work is done
say at fifty. Others plan to enjoy
themselves when their children are
grown up. Others mean TO take their
pleasure when they get rich, or when
their business is built upon sure
foundation, or the farm is paid for, or
the grind of some particular sorrow is
Overpast. These individuals might as
well give up ever having good time.
The season of delight, which is so long
waited and hoped for, too rarely comes.
Disease, poverty and death claim each
their victims. The lives of those whom
we love or own go out, and what is left?
Then take your pleasure to-day, while
there is yet time. Things may not be
in the best shape for that visit you have
been so long planning to your only sis
ter. 1t might be better if you could
wait till you had more stylish suit of
clothes, or till the boy was at home from
college to look after the place; but she
is ready now. You are both growing
old-you had better go. John drives
around with the horse. Jump in,
mother" he says; 1T is lovely day,
you need the fresh air." Don't say,
!" 1 can't go. 1 was intending to make
doughnuts," or "my crimping- pins are
not out" or "my dress isn't changed"
Put on a warm cloak, tie veil around
your hat, take your ride. If you don't
take such things when you can get
them they are apt to be shy when you
want them again. Don't say, 81 shall
be glad when that child is grown up.
What quantities of trouble he makes!"
No; enjoy his cunning ways, revel in
his affectionate hugs and kisses; they
will not be so plenty by and by. Enjoy
his childhood. 1t will look sweet to you
when it is gone forever. Enjoy the lit
ties of every day. The great favors of
fortune come to but few, and those who
have them tell us that the quiet, homely
joys which are within the reach of us
all are infinitely better. Then let us
not cast them away, but treasure every
sunbeam, and get all the light and
warmth from it that the blessings hold.

Tell Your Pastor.

Tell your pastor when his services
have been a blessing to you. His
words may have convicted you of sin,
warned you of some lurking danger,
guided you in perplexity, comforted
you in sorrow, elevated your groveling
desires, and brought the very life of
God to your soul. Whatever good his
words may have conferred upon you,
make it known to your pastor The
knowledge will comfort and encourage
him. He has many discouragements
in his work. Among these is the reti-
cence of his people respecting their APP
probation of his services, or of the
blessing which, in whatever form, may
have come through his words to their
souls. There is no danger of pride
being engendered in his heart by your
cheering words, as it is sometimes i'm
agined might be the case by superficial
thinkers. Gratitude, praise, Joy are
more likely to fill his heart and burst
from his lips. Besides, you owe it to
your pastor to tell him how you have
been benefited by and through him. 1t
is part of the reward allowed him by
God for his work. 1t is only following
in the footsteps of the good in all ages,
and the example is given by God him
self, who will say to each faithful serv-
ant, Well done" Do not let your
pastor, then, be discouraged through
your failure to inform him of his
agency in your spiritual good. Tell
your pastor.-Pulpit Treasury.

Orange Trees.

According to a writer in Ell Diario de
la Marina, there is still flourishing in
the porch of the convent of Santa Sa-
bina in Rome an orange tree that is
said to have been planted in A. d. 1900.
Another in the monastery of Tondi is
supposed to have been planted by Sir
Thomas Aquinas in 1878. In the Moor
ish Alcazar of Seville, Spain, exists
one that was planted during the reign
of Pedro L., between 1850 and 1866.
Others here, known to be 340 years
old, are described as having height
of from 13 to 10 metres, with trunks
from 1923 to lao metres in circum-
ference. Age is not, however, indi-
Gated by size, as in Andalusia there are
many younger trees that are consider
ably larger than these. In Alcala de
Guadaira are two, the trunks of which,
at one metre above the ground, are re-.
spectively $50 and 2.60 metres in cir
conference. The yield of some orange
trees in Malta and Naples is simply
astounding, reaching as high as 1000
oranges to the tree, and in the estate
known as the Huerta Grande in Ma
irena del Alcor there are two that are
said to have borne $4,000 oranges each
in season.
