NEW RESOLUTIONS.
BY BOB puRpRrrr.

If you're waking, call me early, call me early,
 mother dear, For I've heap to resolute upon this glad
 New Year; There's lots of things I'm going to say that
 Pm going to do, And kind of hope in thousand things I'll
 manage to k ep few. Pm going to do the very best that ever fel-
 low can, And I will make no friendship with a very
 angry man; will not look upon the wine when it is
 glowing red, So may my evening hat sit loose upon my
 morning head. will not loaf with sinners at the corner of
 the street; Nor will I talk about myself to everyone I
 meet: I'll be the good boy of the school, and study
 all the day, Nor prod my seat mate with pin, to see him
 laugh and play. When wisdom crieth at the gates, I'll know
 that she means me; And when she putteth forth her voice, I'll
 answer, "Here be. '" When slugger men affront me. will give the
 answer sort, But the litt'e man who tries it may venture
 once too oft. I will not lie about my age, my salary, or
 weight; To help in deed, tho friend in need, will not
 hesitate. will not scotf at feeble things, our navy and
 the poor; And fractured toys and broken hearts, I'll try
 to mend and cure I'll go to see no gray haired sire pose as g
 Preacher Boy" Nor go to hear sucking babe play 'Little
 Fauntleroy." l will not whistle in the cars the airs do not
 know, Nor hold high revel in my room, while others
 sleep below. will not wear my dress coat when the sun is in the sky. l will not wear a collar more than seven inch. es high; will be so good and sensible that people in the street Will lift their hats to me and say, 'Ah, Ga briel," when we meet. Good night, dear mother, sweet good night nay, do not weep for me, I'm so good tonight, l fear the morn neel may see. But if do live through it, when tomorrow
 disappears You'll likely think your precious boy will live hundred years.

Honey Moon.

''Say, Perkins, old boy, why don't we see you at the club any more ? Has your mother in-law shut down on you?" 'tNo, Brown the fact of the matter is, my home is 30 happy now that there Is no inducement for me to leave it. You look incredulous, but it's a positive fact. You see, my wife used to sui fer so much from functional Arrangements common to her sex, that her spirits and her temper were greatly affected. It was not her fault, of course, but it made home unpleasant all the same. But now, since she has begun to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, she has been so we'll and so happy that we are having our honey moon all over again."

HE DIDN'T HUNT WITH HIM AGAIN.

An occasional contributor sends the fol- lowing true incident:
 About 25 years ago l made acquaintance with man by the name of John Bell, who owned and carried on farm about 35 miles north of New York, not far from the Hudson river. He was well built man, and at that time should judge about 50 years old. lived not many miles from him. One day he came and bought COW of me. I remarked afterward to one of my neighbors that I thought Bell was a little odd. The neighbor said that when Q boy he attended the same school with Bell, and proceeded to give short history of him.
 Among other things he said that Bell was good marksman and a fleet runner. When Fremont was sent out on his expe. dition to the Rocky mountains and to Gal nornia, for government survey and ax- ploration, Bell was with him. The party, when in camp on the west side of the Rockys, were told by scouts in attendance that it would not be safe for one or two to venture far from camp for they would be liable to meet 8 gri4Gley.
 They had not been long in camp when Bell proposed that if any one would go with h1m he would like to see if he could find some game. Ayoung man volunteered to accompany him. So they took their rifles and went. They had not gone far when Bell said to the young man: Drop upon your knees, see bear" About 200 or 300 yards off bear was coming slowly towards them. Some times his nose on the ground, and some times high in the air. Bell said, "Be ready, I think he scents us.' The young man was scared, knowing the danger if they did not kill the bear. He could not. hold his gun steady, his courage was gone. But not 80 with Bell, he was cool and self possessed, and when the bear was near enough sent ball into it's body. It was fatal shot for the bear. The young man said:
 "Mr. Bell, how could you have such courage, when we were in such peril? ?"
 Bell said "I do not think was in danger"
 "You were, just as much as l."
 "Guess not" said Bell. "How is that?" said the younger man.
 Bell replied: "Don't you know that can out run you? ?"
 "Yes, know you can out run any man in the camp"
 '"Well," continued Bell, ''If the bear had come for us should have run and left you behind, and don't you know that he would have taken the first one he came to ?" "Yes."
 "Then while the bear was eating you up should have got away P
 The bear was large one, and as Bel was taxidermist he stuffed the skin and sent it to New York, where it sold for g good price, but the young man never would hunt with Bell again. s.D.T.

The law which provides for the execu- tion of condemned murderers by electrici- ty, in New York state, is singularly incom- plete. It stipulates that the victim shall die by electricity, but no further provision has been made. A sheriff may take the condemned into field and have him struck by lightning, or he can give hlm an end of a broken circuit to hold. The Electrical Review is of the opinion that Electricity is not suited for such work, evidently de- string to retain the fluid for nobler uses,

The Eaptists Moving Ahead.

The pastor, Jos. Anderson, Of the newly
organized First Baptist church of this
city, was met at the regular Sunday ser
vice Sunday morning, with the largest
audience that has yet greeted him. Al
though 1t could be said to be numerous,
it is disadvantage that Minot hall, in
which they meet, is on the top floor Of the
building, as some persons have dislike
to ascending stairs and if the services
were held on the ground floor the con
gregation would then doubtless quickly
increase. Yet, no one should let such a
small thing hinder them from enjoying
the privilege and receiving the benefit Of
attending these interesting services where
they are now held, for they would be am
ply repaid for their trouble,
The pastor seeks to speak in popular
style and in such q manner as to interest
young persons especially. All who have
not yet heard him should do so at once,
A cordial welcome is given to ill who at
tend The subjec of next Sunday morn
ing's discourse will be "The Messiah's
forerunner''
Minot hall, where these services are
held at II n. III. every Sunday, is on the
top floor of the building occupied by the
the First National Bank and the Town
site c0mpany's office.

A Letter From MI. Muzxy.

Editor Fergus Falls Journal:
:, 1t is said that "misery loves company"
and we of Cascade county have the mel
ancholy satisfaction of knowing that,
while we are experiencing al unusual
drouth, the like of which has not been
known by the oldest inhabitant (white,
of course) there are others much worse
off than we. The picture so graphically
drawn of the condition Of things along
the Northern Pacific railroad by George
F. Cowing, shows the condition of vege-
tation much worse off than here, although
in the immediate neighborhood Of Great
Falls no rain worthy of mentioning has
fallen since July 6; still bench land small
grain, if sown early, has made Il paying
crop. These lands are not irrigated, as
the necessary improvement, though COM
paratively inexpensive, has not been
made. The settlers on bench lands are
all new comers and have their improve
ments to make. As the drouth progress
es am more and more convinced that
these high table lands are the farm lands
and that the years when irrigation on
them will be needed will he farther apar
than in Mlpnesota. W. MUZZY.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE TER
RITORIES.

NJ lOn1IAcs
Inasmuch as the friends of woman suf-
frage in the constitutional convention
of Washington Territory wanted the pop
ular vote on that question postponed Till
next year, the decision in favor OF post
ponement can hardly be claimed as
woman-suffrage defeat; particularly as
the convention showed that, when II
viewed the question apart from politics,
It favored the woman. The motion to de-
prive them of the right to vote at school
elections was defeated.
The Press sincerely hopes that neither
Washington nor any other one OF the ter
ritories about to enter the Union as states
will incorporate into its organic law any
cast-iron rule that can prevent its avail
ing itself of the advantages of woman
suffrage. whenever public opinion is
ready for that reform. 1t is already evl-
dent from experience that women are
valuable voters at school and other local
elections.
Who knows whether they may not
hereafter become just as useful in gen
eral elections? Don't put anything In
YOUR constitutions to hamper prosperity
in supplying its needs. The question Is
mt the active Endorsement of woman suf'
frage, but simply one of liberty to those
who may need to apply it at some time IN
the future.-[New York Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Early this morn
ing fire broke out in the kitchen of a
restaurant in the five story tenement
house at SO5 West Seventh avenue. Nine
of the sixty odd occupants of the house
lost their lives and it is great wonder
that many more did not perish. The
dead are:
VIM. Geenan, aged GO years. Burned
to death; Nellie McGeorghan, aged 4
years, smothered; Annie Wells, aged 81
years, smothered; Jane Wells, aged
years, smothered; Thos. Wells, aged 40
years, smothered; Bertha Swetga, aged
40 years, burned to death; VIM. Mckee,
aged Al years, burned to death; Jane JEFF
ferry, aged 65 years, smothered.
The injured are VIM. Glennon, aged
10 years, badly burned; John Glennon
badly burned and injured.
The building was occupied by thirteen
families who have been made temporarily
homeless by the fire. The flames did not
do very much damage in the various ap-
partments but burned out their strength
in the Railways. The pecuniary damage
will not amount to more than S1OO, 1000.
The fire started at an hour when all the
people in the house were sleeping sound.
ly. How the fire started is q mystery
but as the restaurant cook is missing it Is
fair to presume that the accident occurr
ed while he was making fire in the
range. The awful speed with which the
flames swept through the building sug
gests the use of kerosene by the careless
