HE SAW TIE NEW YEARS suN

All, sad sight! There lay the little child
love, drenched and running with water;
her long locks, like dank seaweed, lay i'm a
piteous fringe on the stone floor; her kerr
chief, sodden with moisture, surrounded a
face that-Ah, that face! eckenridge
could not look on it, as he s. .hen. lie
reverently stopped, cut off d lock of tie
poor wet hair and placed it within his lit e
pocket Bible; then he flung a white She t
over the body, the last poor respect he
could show to the dead.
"Menas," he said, "you will have to turn
Mussulman, and at once"
otis all the same to old Menas," replied
that philosophical Armenian Christian,
The sergeant walked to his stable; he sad
died his horse; in one wallet of his saddle
he put a bottle, in the other a store of silver
coin. He put on his boots, buckled on his
spurs and his revolver belt, he jammed his
solar topee down over his eyes, and seizing
his big Persian whip, with its five foot lash
and its one foot handle, he cantered out of
Kun. As soon as he reached the open, he
gallOped; he did not spare his horse, he knew
he should never ride that trusty beast again.
He rode the four-and- twenty miles to the
first lonely post house in the desert. AS he
reached it he turned toward Kun, and saw
the rising sun of the New Year light up the
golden dome. He got post horse saddled;
there were three in the stable, and only
three. He knew them oil well, and he
chose the best. He told the post house
keeper to stand at its head when he had led
1t out; then he went into the stable, and
silently with his pocket knife he houghed
(cut the large tendon Of the hind leg) the
other two horses and his own poor beast
And then he rode-rode for the Caspian Sc a

FLYING FROM PERSIA.

HOW sERGT. BRECKENRIDGE SAW THE
DAWN OF THE NEW YEAR.
The story of Sergt Breckenridge Is
firmly believed by many of the Europeans
in Persia, though whether it is a fact, or
merely yarn or myth, l am unable to
state. This is the story, however, as
heard it in Teheran.
In the early days of the telegraph line
through Persia to India, the employees were
few, the stations very far apart, and many
of the siglalers were sergeants of engin-
GERS. These men were frequently alone in
the towns or villages, where the testing sta
tons were situated, for months together.
If, as it was termed, they shit it Off with
the Persians," their pay was raised little
and they remained in the town or village,
occupying position of some importance,
the sole representative of the department,
and i'm the eyes of the Persians, the out
ward and visible sign of the great Dowlet
Ingleez. Hence these men occupied a sort of
semi-diplomatic rank, and were respected
and treated accordingly.
Kun is a holy city. In its huge shrine,
under a dome covered with a sheet of pure
gold an eighth of an inch thick, which gilt
tiers for many a mile in the glaring sun, re-
pOoeo IiC VI TuJlLltL, OH0
of the most sacred and best beloved of the
Shah saints. This shrine and its precincts
are an inviolable sanctuary. In fact,
Kun is what the Jews called city of ref
uge. Hither fly all murderers, and political
offenders, and here, once within the huge
chain of the sanctuary, they are safe. And
the sanctuary is not the shrine alone, but a
large quarter of the town, with its bazaar,
its bath and its mosques. Woe betide the
importunate creditor or the messenger of
justice who attempts to arrest the bankrupt
or criminal within the sacred bounds! He
would be literally torn in pieces by an in
furiated mob of priests and pilgrims.
Of course Kun is fanatical, for its very
subsistence is drawn from religion; the
large revenues of the holy men, the streams
of pilgrims, the very graves Of the faithful,
whose collins arrive by hundreds to be in
TERED in the holy ground, all depend on
the sacred shrine; and the signaler who
lived at Kun many years ago had need to
be a solid man, man who could at least be
tolerated, and even liked-in fact, a quiet
man who would shit it off with the Per-
sians.' Such man was Sergt. Brecken-
ridge: tall, fair, good looking fellow, who
was liked by everybody, a man who never
drank-an intolerablc thing in a. city so
holy that III" mere existence of the unclean
liquid would be the most horrible defilc-
ment.

could not we'll be done; and so Sergt.
Breckenridge always brought his own hub
Bile bubble and special tea cup was kept
for bis use. Possibly the hospitality of the
Syud was not wholly disinterested. The
dream Of his life was to convert an infidcl,
and frequent were the exhortations which
he delivered to tho sergeant Hadji Aga
Mohainned, tho other neighbor, also toler-
ated Breckenridge, but it was from motives
OF policy, and In the hope of securing some
share of the golden shower, which i'm those
days descended on those men of position
who could be useful, from the liberal hands
Of the Indian government.
The Hadji was u man Of 10, and hadn't
tooth In his head; nevertheless he was a
man with three wives, and he was quietly
looking out for another, to complete the
full amount of married bliss allowed by
MOhammcdan law. Now, the reason why
Sergt. Breckenridge never applied for
change of station was a fair one-a very
fair one. Tho fact was that the good look
ing sergeant was over head and ears in love
with tue daughter of Syud Mohammed
Bagher Not that he declared his love-
that would have been dangerous indeed; the

Four days OF snow, then. round and grim.
A moon of a stecly brightness;
You eazed away TO the mountains rim
On u world of mufIied Wilderness.
Obi fair to zee. but fell to feeli
The grip of the frost was cruel:
The folk cried out for pinch OF meal,
And u stick or q sod for fuel.
One day to the n robin comes,
And waxing bold and holder.
From the hermit's hand it would peck its crumbs.
Or perch on his hooded shoulder.
And still no change In the ruthless sky!
And now, as their need grew direr.
Stole wariy ngh with watchful eye,
Full many shy inquirer.
The deer would stand and gaze In HIS face,
With her brown fawn, darky spotted,
Till slowly gathering heart Of grace
They came for the share allotted.
The birds perched round In friendly fiocks.
The hare was no more a stranger;
At the mouth of the cave a peering fox
Would waver twxt need and danger.
And now, AZ he gazed upon beast and bird,
Thus thrown ON his weak protection.
In the heart of the hermit there woke and stirred
The thrill of a soft affection.
II deepened and waxed till the love he felt,
From his wrath began to win him;
His hardness and hate did yield and melt,
And his heart was changed within him.
Lord, forgive" he knelt and cried;
THE rock of my heart is rven"
From heaven it seemed that a voice replied,
Yea, and thou art forgiven
Then forth to the town, forsworn so long,
The hermit Jared on the morrow;
AT the grave of the man who had wrought the
wrong
He knelt in pity and sorrow.
And back to his cave no more he went,
But housed among needy neighbors,
He lived thenceforward, spending and spent,
In gentle and loving Iabors.
And this New Year message he spoke with might:
Freely forgive each other;
Your prayer will never go up Alright
The while that you hate your brother"

Bargains in Real Estate.
The Time TO Invest in Valuable Prop
Grty in a Prosperous City is Now.
A Few Points Worthy Thought
full Consideration

Advantageous investments in city real
estate are only made in prosperous and
growing cities, and more particularly in
cities which possess natural resources
through which men of energy and cap
ltal are offered opportunities for estab-
fishing factories of various kinds. Such
a city is Mankato, with her inexhaus-
table stone quarrses, cement stone, clay,
suitable not only for building brick but
also for fire brick, pottery, ETC., lime,
sand of a superior quality for glass, and
a great variety of all kinds of wood.
Among the successful Industries already
established here are the Mankato Lin
seed Oil works, Fiber works, Cement
works, Tile works, Tub factory, Canning
factory, Foundries and Machine shops,
Carriage works, Paint works, FIGURING
mills, Cigar factories, Lime kilns, and
Brick yards. Our wholesale business
has, during the past year exceeded
the most sanguine expectations. Among
those doing most gratifying business
are: Wholesale grocery, drug, boot and
shoe, and dry goods houses
Mankato, as railroad center, offers
exceptional transportation facilities
something in this particular equal to the
larger cities-and each year witnesses
additional consideration in this essen
St. Paul, Minneapolis d Omaha, with its
branches; the Chicago d Northwestern,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroads, and the Cannon Valley road
is now nearly completed into the city
and will be in operation in the early
spring. We have street railway, es-
tablished about four months since.
which is doing prosperous business,
and has proven a great convenience to
our citizens.
All that is needed to make MankatO a
large city is capital and enterprise. Let
capitalists and men of energy visit our
city with its contiguous fine agricultural
country and take advantage of all or a
portion of the favorable opportunities
offered. The time is certainly coming,
and at no remote period, when Manka-
to will rank with the largest cities In the
State and in the whole Northwest.
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth are
now classed as the largest of our Mime
sofa cities, and Mankato will soon fall in
as next in rank.
Mankato Is increasing in population
very rapidly. She has now quite 1900
inhabitants, and never in her history
was there such an opportunity offered
for investing in real estate as at present.
An Investment made at this time will
pay an enormous interest 10y the open
ing OF spring.
