land it strikes me to tell you
how differently men appear when
requested to help with money.
One looks up at the sky to discover
new pattern for a star, another looks
tired and depressed, another ferocious,
and the last. the one we like. writes his
check with God bless YOU and tells
you to come again. If there Is anything
that does my heart good it is to sit down
with hard-tisted, real stingy old fellow
and tell him his duty and see how he
rides it. When L came to st. Paul |
reveled in the good, pure air, but l
could not help noticing the large num-
Der of saloons. 1t is wonderful how
rapidly vice follows the progress of civ
iliZation. We do not spend over $685.
900, 600 on our churches in the United
States in a year, but we do spend $685.

quent address.
Many citizens think that they
need not register unless they have
moved since last election. This is
wrong. There is new law and
unless you register on one OF the
days named for the spring cleo
ton you will not be allowed to
vote.
