The papers are making merry over
a recent letter of congratulation sent
to Senator Peterson by some of his New
Ulm constituents, referring in sar-
castle way to the Senator's support of
the Nc Hale anti-tights bill. Here is
an extract from the letter.
We recognize the fact that the i'm
orality which has hitherto been allowed
to permeate city life and to extend its
alluring chains over into the midst of
the most unsophisticated granger legis
lature, is in a large measure due to
that exposure of form which the bill
in question seeks to suppress; and
while we do not doubt that some
of those who have cast their votes in
favor of the bill have been actuated by
experience and Disappointment that
shocked their aesthetic sense, we firmly
believe that your support of the mea-
sure was due to the conviction that
beauty is created to fade away unseen.
1t is our sincerest wish and hope that
the reform so auspiciously begun may
soon be extended to those works of art
which depraved taste still tolerates in
our galleries.

Mortified News: The Republican
minority in the lower house of the leg
islature deserves a great deal of graf
itude for heading off vicious and I'M
fair legislation. 1t has made a record
for the Republican party that can be
pointed to with a great deal of salts
faction. The men to whom special
gratitude belongs for effective organ
ization and judicious management, are
J. M. Diment of Steele county; F. E.
Sear1e, of Stems county; L. X. Stone
and G. N. Bell of Ramsey county;
O. B. Turrell of Redwood county;
Henry Feig, of Kandiyohi county;
Allen J. Greer, of Wabsha county
and O. D. Kinney, St. Louis county.
These gentlemen have watched the in
terest of the people and did their ut
most to prevent any legislation which
would reflect discredit upon the State.
They are entitled not only to the
thanks of the Republican party, but
all good people of the State as we'll for
their earnest and able efforts in behalf
of good government and practical legis-
lation.

Your Choice.

An author whose name stands high
on the roll of fame says: {" a child
brought up in house where Cham
ber's Encyclopaedia Pope's Homer
the Vicar of Wakefield,' Don Quix-
ote,' Pilgrims Progress Shakespeare,
Burns and Scott were upon the shelves,
has within his reach enough to make
him a man of taste and lover of good
books all the days of his life" some
times think that our boys and girls make
the serious mistake of not helping their
parents in the efforts they make to give
til m good education. 1t is impos-
sibe not to acquire something from
every book read. If good is not ac-
quired, evil is. Taste is affected, Ian
guage is affected, ones standards of
life are largely what the literature we
choose makes them. AS l write, a
glance at one of my bookcases shows
almost one entire shelf filed by series
of books issued by one publishing house.
The series contains several of Walter
Scott's novels, Lambs "Tales from
Shakespeare" Kingsley's Greek He
roes, "Irving's sketch Book" Church's
" Stories of the Old World" Ksop's
" Fables" "Swiss Family Robinson"
" Robinson Crusoe," Plutarch's "Lives,"
Kingsley's 4" Water Babies" Grimm's
Fairy Tales" Not one of these books
cost over fifty cents, and many of them
only thirty-fve. The type and binding
are good. There are comparatively
few boys and girls who could not buy,
out of their own pocket-money, at least
six of these books in year. The boy
or girl who is introduced to Shakespeare
through Charles Lambs "Tales from
Shakespeare" has key that will un-
lock a storehouse of literary treasures.
The American children ought to be the
best educated children in the world, so
much is done for them in and out of
the home; but the result would be far
better if the boys and girls would vol
UNFAIRLY reach out and grasp the oppor-
tunities given; they too frequently wait
to be showed forward, instead of step
ping forward to take the advantages Of
fered; and nowhere are the chances
greater, or the results more important
on individual character, than in the
choice of reading matter selected out
side of school-hooks. No boy or girl is
a lump of clay to be nodded into form
by parents and teachers. Each one is
an individual that is helping or hinder
ing the efforts made TO form perfect,
symmetrical man or woman; ana the
books we read that make the strongest
impression are what we choose, not
what we are forced to read'-Chr'Shan
Union.

Miss Kate Marsden is now in Sibe-
ria prosecuting her mission to the
lepers. She writes that at Ola she
met Bishop Dionysius, who has lived
forty years in that district, and his
description of the situation of the poor
lepers is simply dreadful. He confirms
the report that the natives do hold the
secret of an herb which in some cases
cures, and in all cases greatly re-
lieves, the lepers; but hay ng been
among them so long, he is afraid
that her mission will tax her strength
too much. She adds: He can hardly
understand how gladly and thankfully
l risk life and health to go among these
poor lepers as a messenger of peace,
and try, by Gods help, to obtain the
secret of this cure, which, if only it
relieves the 100000 lepers of India, is
worth many lives far more worthy than
niue. AS to the condition of the
lepers where am going, beyond
Yakutsk, his Lordship's description is
too truly awful for me to repeat. -

Our 8ops amo Girls.
Setting an Example.

Polly Jenkins came into nv room the
other day with a very tired look on her
usually bright face. She threw herself
into corner of the sofa with the en-
preston of person who has very little
strength left.
"Why, Polly, dear child, what is the
matter?' l exclaimed. "Why are you
80 doleful on this beautiful day?"
"The truth is, Aunt Marjorie" said
Polly, sitting very erect, and speaking
as if she had the weight of the world
on her little shoulders, "I'm all worn
out with having to set good example
from morning till night. If frown or
answer any one impatiently, mamma
says, Polly, you are setting your sis
ter a very bad example, If fail in a
recitation, Miss Laura keeps me after
school to say, 1t doesn't make 80 much
difference, my dear, your having missed
your lesson this time, but the example
to the others is 80 unfortunate.' One
day not long ago l was late at breakfast,
and papa remarked, Pm sorry nv
eldest child forgets that her brothers
copy her behavior. Don't be late
again, Polly. depend on you to set
good example, And 80, Aunt Mar
jorie," Polly concluded, with a deep
sigh, am simply worn out. almost
want to be bad and to shock every
body"
90 no, you do not, Polly" 1 said,
laughing at her puckered forehead,
mournful eyes and pursed-up mouth,
until her set features relaxed, and she
laughed too. 81 see plainly where the
trouble is in the case; you have fallen
into the habit of considering yourself
too important"
Why, no." she protested earnestly.
" 1t is not /; it's other people who do
that, Aunt Marjorie. You are not bit
kind"
" But you don't quite understand me.
The oldest daughter is really a person
age in the house, and parsonage of
great importance. Her manner of
speaking and acting influences the rest
more than she can imagine; yet much
of the pleasing effect is lost when she
becomes conscious of herself, and stops
to think she is doing this or that thing
with a view to its impression on the
family. Perhaps l ought to find fault
with the grown people, and not with
you, dear. But now for my advice. If
were Polly Jenkins, ! would stop
trying to set an example; would not
think about that for an hour in the
month. What l would do would be
this: To try to remember that being is
of more consequence than doing; that
what we are is always of more impor-
lance than what we do. / should say
to myself: Polly, your business is to
be as nearly right as you can for your
own sake, and not for that of anybody
else in the home or in the school-room.'
Depend upon it, dear, you would set
much better example when not planning
to do so than when giving your whole
mind to it,"
Polly thought little while, and be-
ing very bright little woman, my
meaning came to her. She sprang up,
Rugged me with both arms till she
rumpled my hair and my ruching, and
then ran away, saying:

Deafness CAN'T BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Gus
tachian tube. When this tube gets in-
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever. Nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. They
are free.

Truly, thought, the bitterness of
death is here.
l had never heard the names of these
children pass the lips of the father or
mother, and l need not say that never
alluded to the discovery, which had in
expressibly touched me. On this par
ticular night, l felt in no mood for
listening to the old soldiers stories.
They had a tone of sadness, even the
jocular ones; so sought the solitude of
the front veranda. l sat down on the
steps, basking in the peace and quiet
beauty of the night.
The full harvest moon was riding
high in the heavens, throwing the
shadows of the vines about the porch
on the broad flags at my feet. There
was just enough soft breeze to make
the phantom leaves dance weirdly
The whole place seemed asleep, except
for the " cluck, cluck,' of an uneasy
hen, who could not settle herself to her
mind on the bough of tree near the
porch, where she perversely elected
to roost, instead of in the comfortable
hen-house. The revery into which
had fallen was suddenly interrupted.
{" Does thee believe that every one
has a soul?"
The voice was Cynthia's; but harsh
note in its usual music, and the alb
ruptness of the question, made me
start and look up hastily.
"Does not your church teach you
that every one has soul, Cynthia?"
"Oh, yes," she replied, indifferently
"Then why do you ask me such q
question:"
She laid her hand lightly on my arm
and drew me to the other end of the
porch.
Look" she said, scornfully. ]
