Whom Robert Bruce died he laid the
solemn charge upon his faithful friend
Douglas to bear his heart-enshrined
in . silver case-to Jerusalem, that it
might be inferred near the sepulcher Of
Christ. The noble Scotchman set out
on his long journey--the relic in his
bosom. But the way was difficult and
the path was periious. In Spain he
was beset by party of Moors, and in
uttsrmost danger for his life. Back
on him and his few trusted adherents
the barbarians we're pressing. In the
instant when it seemed he must be
overpowercd he is related to have flung
the sacred casket ahead directly among
his enemies, and then, with superhu-
man energy, to have dashed himself
after it. e1claiming, "Where Bruce's
heart has gone 1 glass hand will
never fail to follow So he saved
himself and all be salued. Let there
be one, sole, ineligible, purpose in
our whole being. Where went the
heart of Christ? Then shall We follow

How Farmers Are Taxed.

1t is not uncommon 10 hear our farmers
complain of he taxes they nave TO pay.
Sometimes they are too high and the pay
ment of them could be largely lessened BY
increasing the productive power of an
acre of ground. For instance: A farmer
who sows poor seed, raises scrub stock.
or buys antiquated or imperfect nipple
ments, must certainly pay proportionate.

See how strons, how brave, how true;
Well it may be said OF her,
She hath done what she could do.
See the children the Lord hath given her,
Early taught in wisdow's ways;
Rising up to co her honor,
In these sad, degenerate days.
Nobly she hath fought life's battles,
From its onset to this hour;
Looking to her dear Redeemer,
Trusting in His matchless power.
She is drawing near that border,
Where the earthly light will fail;
But the darkness will be followed,
By splendor that will never pale.
1t will burst upon her vision,
AS she leaves times troubled shore;
And she'll here sweet voices singing,
Peace and rest forever more.

Be q sweet, a calm repose;
And as gently falls the dew,
May death her eye lids close.

We, IS Americans, are proud OF our
great colleges AID universities. They
arc doing ncbls work. They appear
as high standards. They are our grand
models. But how valuable the servi-
ces rendered to our country and to man
kind by the rank and file institutions OF
learning in our commendable struggle
for higher education. The work
wrought by our small colleges, in rural
districts and on the frontier, is highly
csmmendable. 1t has been observed
that We do not fully realize the services
| performed by such colleges. Prof.
James Bryce, = disinterested party,
writes in the American Commonwealth,
that these institutions "get hold of
multitude Of poor men who might never
resort to = distant place Of education.
They set learning in visible form
plain indeed, and humble, but digni6ed
even in her humility, before the eyes of
q rustic people, in whom the love of
knowledge, naturally strong. might new
or break from the bud into the flower,

many strong and earnest nature who
might have remained an artisan or

Monday morning three men catered
Strain Bros. store on Central e and
selected two pairs of pants. On coming
in they carelessly threw their overcoats
on the counter. After selecting the
goods desired they asked to have them
laid aside until they went over to La-

filled. As they went ont, how, YER. two
of them contrived to pick up u pair of
pants with their o%vercoats. Tne goods
were missed shortly after their departure
and Mr.. Herbert Strain and n younger
brother started out after them. One man
was soon spotted in d saloon on First ave-
nue. south and was approached by Sheriff
Hamilton who asked him what he had
under his coat. He replied that he had
nothing. The coat was lifted, however,
and the pants dropped to the floor. The
other man was also shortly spotted and
captured and the pants were found
cached back of the saloon II which he
was caught. Both will probably fine
that they could have had pants cheaper
by earning the money and buying them

THE comment of the republican press
on the "Choteau middle" is really anus
ing. 1t is claimed that the republican
majority of the canvassing board were
"unduly Influenced" by the democratic
members and by others present; in other
words that they are weak, vaclllatlng
men who were easily led into error by
the democrats. Now it so happens that
&. ID. Patterson and G. w. Crane, the
republican members of the board, are
good, substantial citizens who have minds
of their own. They could not be led
against their Judgment by any one and
we have no doubt but their intentions in
this matter were of the best. 1t is not
fair TO heap abuse upon these men be-
cause they believed under the law it was
their duty to throw out the irregular re-
