The GObbler's Wall

Here on one foot upon the gray rail-post
stand and look my old eyeglasses
through,
Knowing full soon must give up the ghost
To make "a holiday feast, without ado
And oh, Bismillsh. am feeling blne
For in morning paper have found
That hrst-class turkeys now bring eighteen
cents per pound!
What though the landscape bright about me
lies!
What though the sun its golden nectar
spillsy
What though the crow in sombre beauty
flies
Into the purple glory of the hills?
My old anatomy has got the chills
know that soon I'll be stuffed full of SAGE.
And that is why my tears bedew the printed
page.

Ny wattles soon will lightthe old ash-heap;
My plnions soon will make kitchen

A subtle sadness sets me all a-creep.
Here in the bosom of the twilight hush

Laugh at the feast in most exultant tone.
While with young Thingumbobs she snaps
my frail wish-bone

Goodbye, my wives and progeny good

Soon shall lightly swing on yonder door,
Announcing that Thanksgiving Day is

anything but saint. According to that
account. he attacked three tribes which
were friendly TO his protector Acbish,
left neither man or woman alive so
that they might not tell, and then de-
MED it. He conquered the Moabitos,
making the survivors lie down OH the
ground and slew two-thirds of them.
He tortured the people of Rabbah. cut
them with saws and with harrows
of iron and with aXes;' made
them pass through the brick-kilni
and thus did he unto all ,the
cities OF AmmOn;" he slew 200 men as
the price of his first wife; he took at
least ten more wives, and i'm the affair
of Bathsheba broke four of the COM
mandments at once, and murdered a
most faithful servant; even in his dy-
ing charge to his SON he ordered the
punishment of his lifelong and. most
faithful servant for deeds OF nearly.
forty years before; and his last recorded
word is in ordering the death of an-
other man whom he had promised with
an oath that he would spare-''his boar
head bring Thou down to the grave
with blood" If We had to take these
statements literally, they would make
David one of the worst of men. =i
But in the liberal Interpretation they
do not have to be taken literally, but as
the eXaggerations of tradition. We may
see that exaggeratiOn, for instance, by
comparing the twenty-fOurth chaprer OF
First Samuel with its repetition in the
much later took of Chronicles. In the
intervals between these writings we
find 800 grown into LOO; so Shekels OF
silver into 60O shekelS of gold: mere
figure of speech describing the epidemic
grown into terrible angel with sword
and sheath, and David's natural sacri-
flee grown into a supernatural one
kindled by fire sent from heaven.
David's great slaughters also melt
away when critically examined. Those
Amalekites whom he slew had all been
slain a few years before by Saul,
both man and woman, infant and suck
ling" according to the Bible, and though
David now left neither man nor
woman alive;" they reappear a few
him again. David'S slaughterS are
mainly the work of tradition. and left
the victims as lively as before. So of
his other crimes; and Renan doubts
whether that story of David'S aDOmina-
bic murder of Uriah contains any
fragment of truth" The liberal inJerp-
rotation takes away half of David's
wives and half his wickedness. and
makes him far better man than the
old Interpretation did. And from most
of the other Biblical heroes it takes
away the blemishes and leaves the bet
ter lessons. Criticism only purifies the
Bible, and still leaves the prophets
ringing pleas for righteousness, PauFS
noble preceptS of charity and jesus
tenderness and trust as the eternal
truths of the human heart.

Work of the Army.
As Marshal Booth, the commanding
officer of the Salvation Army in the
United States. was riding in Mime
apoIis street car on Saturday lady who
sat next to him, after gazing scornfully
at his odd uniform, snapped out: well,
when get to heaven hope will not
have to SIT in the same corner with the
Salvation Army"
.'Calm yourself. my dear woman" re-
piled the marshal. IF You are going
to sit in corner. you are safe. We eX-
pect to occupy reserved seats"
Marshal Booth is the son of Gen.
Booth, the commander-in-chief of the
army, who resides in England. Gen.
Booth was formerly Methodist minis
ter.
The spread of this organization is
something remarkable. Less than
twenty-five years old. it is now besieg-

than thirty-six different countries, ex-
ponds large sum in maintaining the
organization. and circulates millions of
tracts and periodicals. In Minneapolis
it has four stations, with eight persons
under pay.
The subject Of building permanent
barracks in Minneapolis has been under
consideration, and the organization has
been offered the lease Of a piece of
ground between Third and Second
streets. not far from the postoffice, but
will probably continue to occupy Mar

THE FALL OF THE BASTTLLE.
A Spiritual Parable on the Sub.
ject of Freedom.

ject of Freedom.
DR.. Burrell's text yesterday morning
was: 1.-The Lord lOoseth the prisoners.
The speaker introduced his tale with
a description of the fall of the bastille,
which occurred 100 years ago, July IA,
1889. The mob, after rescuing the pris-
oners. carried them through the streets
of Paris with shouts and songs of joy.
In drawing the spiritual parallel" it
was asserted that the sinful and impen-
itent soul is under condemnation, await
ing execution of the sentence of spirit
ual and eternal death, sits fettered by
habit. "bOund in affection and iron,"
and sits sin darkness and the shadow
of DEATH"
First-The sinner Is lnsensible of his
condition. He deems himself happy
within the narrow boundaries of the
dark cell.
Secono-He has momentary glmpses
of better things. The prisoner of Chill
Ion, climbing up to a crevice, heard the
song of bird
A lovely bird. with azure wings
And song that said thousand things,
And seemed to say them all to me.
Thus the most debased soul sees now
and then possibilities of better things.
Third-There Is no possibility of es-
cape No climbing over, 10 digging
under the walls. There is no hope of
governmental intervention, because the
sentence is avowedly just and the pris-
oner is impenltent, stubborn enemy Of
the good God.
Fourth-A rescue is effected by our
Lord Jesus Christ. He comes to break
every chain and bid the oppressed go
free. On the cross He suffered the pen
atty of our sins. so that we may sing:
Now we are free, there's no condemnation,
Jesus provides perfect salvation.
Fifth-Though the door of our prison
is thrown open, it will not avail US I'M
less we come forth. God forces freedom
on NOBODY. The door is open, but we
may continue to live in our narrow cells
if we prefer. One thing only is neces-
sary to our freedom, namely, that we
should come forth. Jesus has died; it
remains to be seen whether His death
shall save US.

Sinai's commandment is written in the
nature of man. mule and machine
Rest means health, wisdom and wealth.
The specter of disease, disuse and

IN THE woRKHoUsE,

During the day her cell door is open
and she is allowed the freedom of the
corridor. At night she is locked behind
the grated door. The women are given
what little laundry work and sewing
there is to do about the place, but this
is not sufficient to keep them all en-
pioyed. MatrOn Taylor says that five
women can do all the work with ease
and then find time hang heavily on their
hands. Many of the women. however,
are not noviceS in crime. Some of them
are so degraded as to have lost all sense
of shame or decency. The young girl
who might be reformed were she sur
rounded by the proper influences
and Christian training is thrown
into daily contact with these
hardened cases. So constantly does she
hear of her exploits that all her sensi-
bilities are dulled and the influences eX-
erted by their example 90 far toward
making her worse instead of better.
She learns not to look upon her incar-
ceration with loathing. but only looks
forward to the time she may be released
that she may enter upon perhaps more
daring exploits, and she cares not how
deep she may sink. When she is dis
charged some of her prison companions
are always ready TO offer her that aid
which Is denied her by society,
and a few short weeks again
finds her an inmate Of the workhOuse.
What is needed is an institution to
which women can be committed by the
municipal courts, not so much for pun
ishment, but for reformation, where, if
there is but the last spark of woman
hood in the cunvict'S nature, the kindly
influence surrounding her may kindle
it into fame; where her moral as well
as physical welfare may be attended to.
No doubt many of the women would
shrink from such an institution, but the
court should have full power to not only
commit, but to keep them there.
There is one place in Minneapolis
where these girls can find not only a
refuge but home, and that without
money. The House of the Good Shep-
herd, situated on Bloomington avenue
and rwenty-seventh street south. has
its doors ever wide open to admit such
unfortunates. 1t is not prison, but a
refOrmatory in the strict acceptation OF

DRAMATIC DRIFT.
Jennie O'NeiI Potter's Farewell
Ole Olson's Big Hit.

Miss Jennie O'Neil Potter expects to
leave Thursday for New York to join
the Ollie Tarbett Musical company
which opens its season the 25th. The
company is one of the strongest
that Mai. Pond, the veteran man.
ager has organized, and Miss
Potter has brilliant future
assured her if her health will permit
her to fulfill the engagement. There is
one feature about the little lady with
eyes of cerulean blue, and that is that
she has never been known to fail in
pleasing an audience. although she per-
hapS does not possess the histrionic
genius of Mrs. ScOtt-SiddOns. She will
hold an informal reception tonight at
the parlors of the Brunswick hotel, as
sisted by Mrs. E. l.. DanfOrth, which
will be in the nature of a social farewell
to her Minneapolis friends.
The "0le Olson" company has been
doing q remarkable business at the
Bijou theater during the past week. On
four nights of the week people have
been turned away as early as O'Clock,
although the orchestra was banished to
the wings of the stage TO give more
room. Swedish dialect is a dramatic
novelty, and a very amusing one, which
bids fair to open up new and fruitful
field of comedy. The ''Ole Olson" COM
pany can have the credit of doing the
largest weeks business in the history
of the largest theater in Mime
apolis however, the company has
done an equally large business in
the East. where the Swedes are almost
unknown. So the success of "Ole Olson"
can be attributed to the fact that it is a
dramatic curiosity as much as anything
else. Tonight Ferguson and Mack
open at the Bijou in "McCarthy's Mis-
haps."
Victoria Vokes, one of the charming
Vokes sisters will commence three
night engagement at the Grand Opera
tonight, presenting a double bill, "a
Mere Cipher" and Hubby" In the
later play Miss VOkes will be seen in
character of Mrs. O'Braggerty. the wife
of a fire eating Maj. OBraggerty, whom
she suspects of being unfaithful, and in
a disguise passes Though a series of
ridiculous stage situations until a tell
tale picture is secured and catastrophe
is averted.
The sale of seats commences at the
Grand box Office tomorrow morning for
the Pearl of Pekin" engagement on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The Old Homestead" presented by
a strong company personally organized
and drilled by Denman Thompson, be-
gins weeks engagement at the Harris
theater tonight.
Ferguson & Mack begin weeks en-
gagement at the Bijou tonight in
"McCarthy's Mishaps."
D. B. Davenport, formerly of the
New York Herald. but now in advance
of the Boston Ideals, is in the city az
ranging for the coming of that powerful
organizations appearance at the Grand
opera next week.
SCR. Vegara will give his second soiree
musical d. invitation with his pupils at
