an unprecedented success with his book
called" Students Sengs"-the sale already
reaching nearly fifty thousand copies

A CHAPTER ON GAMBLING.

From the Albert Lea Enterprise.
Complaints reach these headquarters
that the room occupied by what is known
as the smuggling or boxing gallery is often,
in fact daily, freQuented by boys from
six to seventeen years, who not only
learn to "slug" but to ''shake dice" play
cards. and other things not calculated
to improve the morals of young boys.
= but progressive euchre will have
to 60 out of the homes if boys do not
learn to gamble. The prevention of
gambling and it's attendant vice must
needs receive heroic treatment.
We think when person gets so far
out of the path of Righteousness, as to
become an anonymous authority on a
game of cards, as demoralizing and
'exciting" as progressive euchre. his
christianity is SO frail and gauzy that it
should be handled with extreme care.
lest Sigh: jar should break the weak
and unchristian people.
playing is not ga%b 1 e' We wonder p then
what gambling may be-. Perhaps its PLAYING
pin or something simple like that.-Waseca
Radical.
1t has been decided by large majority
in Albert Lea that poker playing, as we'll
as progressive euchre, IS gambling, or
leads to the unenviable habit, and we
guess there is no mistake about it. either
There is general demand that one. as
we'll as the other, ought to go.
The admission in last weeks Enterprise
that pool and billiard playing is gam
bling, is not the general public opinion,
and cannot be so construed in the eye of
the law, in prosecution and execution.
But it is gambling in the eye of the law
and public opinion, for men, ladies,
children, or any class of such, to play at
any game of cards for money and money
value. Be the amount played for pin
money. penny ante, prizes. or pool of
million, gambling is the name and the
game, in truth and fact. 1t does not
make it anything else for party to take
the stand that they do not think so and
that their conscience is their guide. The
Mormons do this, but blgamy is bigamy
still. Pigmies are pigmies still, though
perched on alps. Gambling is gambling
still. though played in parlors, at par
ties, for much or little money value. Con-
science, even in this free America, must
not be too elastic. People cannot violate
the laws of the land, Of society and pro-
priety, and be ornaments in the church.

Sit near mother, now, and be 4 good

/ These words were spoken by q woman
as she entered one of the Maine street
churches on Sunday forenoon. She was
accompanied by two boys, her sons ev1-
IDENTIFY. Having kindly admonished the
younger of the lads, she passed into the
church, they with her. The words were
heard by one other than the boy to whom
they were addressed. A mothers words
similar in import to this mothers had by
him been heard and we're brought back
by them from the half-forgotten past.
There Is in the words. double meaning.
The boy who in fIial love will sit near
mother will be good boy. He will,
sure, every time. The boy who will sit
near mother in church, and love that
mother, and obey her, will in after years
be a good man, almost as sure as
be lives to attain the estate of manhood.
Boys who have mothers should be proud
boys when asked to sit near mother"
They may in after life occupy the seat of
the chief executive of the land, but from
that exalted position they will lovingly
look back through the vista Of interven-
ing years. and in memory delight again
to sit near mother"
Success or failure in life, depends,
boys. in a very large degree on the man
ner in which you receive this invitation
from mother. In all your life it will be
something for you to look upon with
pleasure. ii you but accept the invitation.
Sitting near mother you will never learn
to enjoy evil company; sitting near
mother you Will learn t. be true and
good; you will abominate all that IS bad;
you will cling to all that is good.
"Sit near mother, and be good boy"
She was good woman who uttered the
words were addressed. Proud mother;
happy boy! How many thousands of
men there are who, looking back on such
scene, can from it trace direct line to
their present high position in society,
and all because they obeyed the injunc-
ton; because they made 1t rule of life
to do nothing of which they could be
ashamed were their mother to suddenlyap-
pear before them. How many thousands
of men, alas, dare not look back on a
scene like this. They are afraid to.
They did not sit near mother. They did
not think it manly to SIT near mother.
From disobedience they have gone on in
the same road, down grade and bread
gagged, and while away behind them
may still be seen the light in the home
window, they cannot return; their oppor-
tunity IS past, and no more on earth can
they receive the precious invitation to
sit near mother. These are the two pic.
lures, boys. They are the pictures of
the two phases of the great life before
you all. Your future is in your hands in
great measure. And in no one way can
you assure success in life so easily. so
pleasantly, so proftably, as in listening
to mothers words, bv sitting near
mother, and from her learning the truths
that for all time will stand you in good
stead in resisting temptation, and in per-
forming deeds of kindness for the benefit
of your fellowmen.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense of
weight in the back, loins, and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, fatulency, uneasiness Of
the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once
to the application of Or. Bosanko's Pile Rem
edy, which acts directly upon the parts affect
itching, and effecting permanent cure.

were but 6s7, 1870 native born 417,213

other states and territories. The foreign
born numbered 43O, 878, and of these H.
1856 were born in Denmark, 80, 1875 in Swe-
den and 90, 429 in Norway, making total
Scandinavian population of 184,949
against 245, $50 of other countries, 1925
Of the latter being German born. 1t is estl-
mated that of the native born, those of
Scandinavian parentage would number
as many as these born IN Norway, Swe-
den and Denmark. This would give US a
Scandinavian population-counting those
born in the Scandinavian countries of
Europe and their children born in this
country-of 800. 896, and would seem to
justify the "Nordvesten's" claim that

IT is now thirty-two years since Ste.
phen A. Douglas. in the Senate Of the
United States, on Jan. %, 1854, intro
duced that political pandora box, the
Kansas Nebraska bill. Could the pro-
moters of that measure have looked into
the future and seen the result of thus
forcing the fight in behalf of slavery they
would have stood appalled, at the disclo
sures ten years would have made. They
little understood how deeply imbedded
in the American heart was the love of
liberty. The restraint caused by devotion
to the Union and respect for constitution
al law had misled them as to the real feel
ing of the people on the subject of human
slavery, and they would not unlearn what
they had learned amiss until the great war
for freedom, under the flag of the Union,
destroyed the unrighteous system which
they championed and left them entirely
shorn of power.-Inter Ocean,.
