WOman's Work i'm the Second
Presbyterian Church.
CONTRIBUTED.

The Woman's work of the
Second Presbyterian Church OF
this city is carried on through the
agency of the three missionary
societies and the Ladies' League.
The Ladies' Missionary Society
meets on the third Tuesday of
every month. 1t has a contribut-
ing membership of about sixty
ladies, and an average attendance
upon it's meetings of about TWEEN
ty.ive. The contributions are to
the Women's Boards of Home
and Foreign Missions, in fulfill
ments of the Masters command,
eco ye into all the world and
preach the gospel" A carefully
prepared programme Of exercises,
consisting of reading, recitations,
and short talks on home and
foreign missions, Christian con-
secration and reports from the
mission fields, is carried out at
each meeting and necessary bust
ness is transacted. Miss s. b.
Scott is the President of this
society. 90 '..'''"
The other missionary societies
are the Young Ladies Circle, and
the Children's Band, each manned
by it's own officers, and all work
ing together for the advancement
of Christ's Kingdom at home and
abroad.
On Sabbath evening, Novem-
Der 23d, the three societies united
in their annual meeting for prayer
and praise, and thank offering.
The President of the Ladies' So.
ciety presided and made a short
address. There were readings
and glad songs Of praise. The
offerings were made by nearly al
the congregation, children as wei
as older members, and were en-
closed in small envelopes alons
with scripture texts expressive o
the feelings Of the givers. Th'
reading Of many Of these text
by the pastor formed one Of tn
pleasantest and most profitable
parts of the service.
The Ladies Leagueincludes il
its membership most of the ladie
in the church who have eithe
time or inclination for any dutie
outside of home. 1t was organ
lied for the purpose Of carrying
on systematic Christian work il
our own community, visiting th
poor, and waste places of the city
urging on the carelass and god
less an attendance on the SabbatI
services and trying to discove
the places where mission work
most needed in our own city
They also endeavor to aid thei
pastor by visiting among tn
church members and welcomin
strangers, and inviting them t
help with the Christian work
These are some of the ways i
which the Christian women {
this church become 'fellow helE
ers to the truth" and gladden. th

sympathy and hearty co-oper'

A Hebrew Bible has just been
resurrected from the dust in the
Vatican library. 1t is supposed
to be the oldest in the world, and
is valued at 100000. 1t is so
weighty that it requires two men
to lift it, the binding being in
heavy metal. In the year 1912
the Jews of Venice offered Pope
Julius III. its weight in gold for
it, but though he was financially
hard up just then he refused the
offer.

Dick started up and carefully
searched through the grass for
some that had fallen. Not plum
was there.
AT last Dicks mother, who sat
at her sewing out Of sight with
in the window, heard strange
rustling, dropping sound, and
looking out, this is what she saw:
Dick was tottering about the
ground, muttering to himself.
"What lazy boy | am! I de-
clare, I'm so lazy [ can't stand

against the tree and fell. Down
came the plums.
"Whyp' he exclaimed, as if
astonished, "who'd'a' thought it?
Lots of plums on the ground!
Papa said 1 might have these.

devour them. lapilalaF
He got up then and repeated
the experiment. Again the plums
fell. Again Dick had a hearty
feast.
He was about to continue the
process, soliloquizing and falling,
when his mothers voice ex-
claimed: Orchard Hanson, come
here to meat oncep'
Dick obeyed the summons and
stood before his mother, little
sheepish, but after all, he wasn't
"much afraid Of mamma"
"Have you been eating your
fathers plums -the nice plums he
forbade you to stouch?" and the
voice was stern and grave.

"But why did they fall on the

"Well," slowly confessed Dick,

against the tree. / wouldn't pull
the plums!' he added heroically.
"Will you tell me the difference
between pulling them and shaking
; them down? Why didn't you pull
them?" r@,gr
As the tones grew deeper and
sadder, Dick's1eyes filled and his
. voice trembled as he said IL was
afraid to pull them. You said God
: could see me-"
{ "And did my little boy think he
could cheat God? Did you think

Dicks father did forgive him
but he punished him severely, as
he had threatened.

punished him with terrible

A Mutiny Of Madmen.

London Globe.
ii A mutiny of an extraordinary char
acter took place recently at the Bicetre
Iunatic asylum, which was only put
down by. the arrival of the soldIery.
Some of the dangerous lunaticS had APP
peared more excited than usual owing
to the sultry weather, and one Of them,
an athlete of great strength, named
Jolly, succeeded in breaking out of his
cell. Having opened the cells OF four
teen of his companions, all OF them
made a rush at the keepers. who were
walking up and down on guard. The
lunatics then laid siege to the
nearest rooms and broke windows,
chairs, tables, and everything else on
which they could lay their hands. Aft
erward they went up to the keepers,
sleeping places, and, Selling all the ra-
zors, hammers and other dangerous in
struments which they could find, re-de-
scended into the quadrangle and began
shouting out that they intended to kill
everybody who should interfere with
them. One Of the keepers. a nj. Petit,
received blow from the leg of a table
which broke his arm, but his colleagues
succeeded eventually, at the risk OF
their lives. in cutting off the retreat OF
the madmen by shutting them up in the
quadrangle. The governor, NJ. Pinon, now
interviewed. and tried by soft words to
calm the rioters; but he was threat.
ened by Jolly. who said that he would
spare his life if he went down on his
knees and begged pardon OF all the in
mates. AS M. Pinon refused to do this,
Jolly hurled a f1ower-pot full of earth at
him, but keeper threw himself before
the governor and received the pot and
it's contents on his chest. The governor
and his men then withdrew and sent
for the police and troops. The inspector
of police, who arrived first, found the
madmen straddling across the wall,
s where they were bfandishing theiI
razors and subjecting part of the asy-
lum to a bombaEdment of rubbish,
stones and bricks. Jolly, when called
upon to surrender, cried out:
1--WE are outside of the law; we are
madmen, and you can't do anythingP p
When twenty-four soldiers, with, fixed
bayonets, arrived from the Bicetre fort,
the lunatlcs became more exasperated.
whereupon the keepers turned Oh the
hose and gave the, maniacs a few
shower baths. This was followed by a
voiley Of blank cartridges. which eff
feetually frightened them. They de
scended from their wall and allowed
themselves to be handcuffed. After
thatthe most obstreperouS were put
into strait waistcoats. Four of the
keepers were placed hOrs de combat
during the riot, while a sum, of EGO In
bank notes, belonging to one of the
asylum attendants, was destroyed by
the lunaticS. ,s .s1if.

ADJUSTMENTS.

That the Wilburs are thoroughly i'm
bued with the spirit of Three Black
Cloaks," the pretty opera by the hand
of .Bucalossi, was evidenced in the in

whatever married the sweet harmonies
of that delightful work of the French
romancer, except the indisposition of
Miss KirWin. Our little favorite is suf-
fering with severe cold, contracted on
Sunday morning, and, but for the ear
nest consideration of her place in the
cast, Miss Kerwin would certainly nurse
her ailing instead of brayelY attempting
to please the theater patrons. The ex-
tent of Miss Kirwin's illness was appar-
ent. the moment she uttered the first
word of the libretto, and the consequent
struggle of the little soubrette with her
lines and music caused the auditor to
Sympathize one minute and admire her

the creditors got together and decided
the property to trustee, Paul Black

and pay the debts, paying the railroad
company S2.33 per hundred on all logs

March, 1890, the railroad company
commenced an action in Carlton county,
alleging that the trustee had not paid
stampage and was in debt to them $751;
900, and also asking that the contract
sbe declared forfeited. Then the trustee
applied to. Judge Young for an order
compelling the railroad company to
show cause why it. should not be re-

railroad company pushed the suit to

PRENTICE LOSES.
The Big Duluth Land Suit Goes
Against Him.

The court room of the United States
circuit court was filed with lawyers and
interested spectators yesterday morning
to hear Judge Miller, of the supreme
court, decide one of the famous Prentice
cases, which involves title to large
section of land in the heart of Duluth.
The substance of his findings and epin-
ion are as follows:
The Chippewa Indians, by the treaty
of the 30th of September, 1854, coded
certain lands to the United States and
by that treaty Chief Buffalo was al
lowed to select one section of land at
such place in the ceded territory as he
should see fit. That treaty was ratified
the 10th day of January, 1855.
Chief Buffalo, on the 30th of Septem-
Der, 1854, executed paper whereby he
selected tract of land one mile square,
living OIL the west shore of st. Louis
river bay, Minnesota territory, immedi-
ateIy above and adjoining Minnesota
point, and directed that the patents be
issued to Benjamin q. Armstrong and
three other persons. The three other
appointees conveyed their interest to
BENJAMIN &. Armstrong. Armstrong, on
Sept. IL, 1856, gave Frederic Prentice
a deed for One-half of the land, describe
ing it as beginning at large stone or
rock at the head OF st. Louis river bay,

Duluth freight yards. There are large
oil tanks, forwarding warehouses and
other interests in that neighborhood.
There is only one cistern Whereabouts,

The Law and the Lady.

Judge Brill has decided in the case of
Mary Butterfeld against James Butter
field that the house and lot in question
belongs to Mrs. Bntterfeld, and she is
entitled to immediate possession there
of. 1t is also found that James Butter
field to some extent superintendent the
construction of the house on the lot, but
the value of his services is not determ-
ined. The value of the house is 81. 800,
but it does not appear that James But
terfield contributed anything towards
its cost. The court further says that it
was doubtless the intention while the
house was being built that the mother
and son should live together, but there
was to be no division of title.
