back that we were now all right He
had discovered some huge rocks at
what was known as The Mounds
which was only about three miles from
Luverne. This information raised our
spirits and gave us new life, as from
that point to the town it was more
thiclSly settled and we had no difficulty
in keeping in what was the road when
it was not full of snow. But it took us
over two hours to get from there to
Luverne, which place we reached about
three o'clock on the morning of the
18th, where we found plenty of kind
and willing people who had learned of
our leaving Pipestone by it being tele-
graphed from Pipestone when we had
started, and who had remained up all
night waiting to see if we should get
through. We were all well cared for,
and although we were showed in there
for several days, we were only too
glad to remain quiet aud not make an
other attempt to get out, especially by
team.
Talk about dangers, adventures, ex-
periences all have to say is that such
an experience as that was will last a
man lifetime. It was about the 1st
of March before we finally got out OF
Luverne and the trains were again
running" G. E. WELLEs.

How Some Mobs Have Been Dispersed

How Some Mobs Have Been Dispersed
by Soft Answers.
During the early excesses of the
French revolution, a rabble of men and
women were rioting in the streets of
Paris. Lafayette appeared and ordered
young artillery officer to open fire
upon them with two cannon. The Of
ficer begged the general to let hin. try
first to persuade them to withdraw.
cit is useless to appeal to their rea-
son." said the general.
Certainly" answered the officer;
land it is not to their reason, but to
their vanity, would appeal"
The officer rode up to the front of the
mob, DOTTED his cooked hat, pointed to
the guns and said:
"Gentlemen will have the kindness
to retire; for l am ordered to shoot
down the rabble."
The street was cleared at once; for
none could brook the idea of being
classed with the scum of the city.
During the agrarian riots. which dis
turbed England in 1882, a mob of rick
burners and machine breakers ap-
peared at the old mansion of two elder
" maiden ladies. The walls of the hall
were decorated with suits of armor and
antique weapons-pikes, halberds,
swords and battle axes. The mob
clamored for the weapons and for
drink. The ladies refused their de-
mands, and when the mob seemed
ready to resort to violence, Miss Betty,
the elder of the ladies, went up to the
leader, hideous looking man, and said
You, too, of all the people in the
world! I'm not surprised at these poor
misguided creatures. But that such a
good looking, intelligent man as you
should attack two defenseless women
does astonish me! You are the man
should have looked to for protection
But YOU are not the man | took yor
for! Never again will trust to good
loolss!'
There was no standing up agains
that compliment. The man took of
his hat, and said: "Come old lady, We

some beer We would not harm hail

New Kind of pInster.

Samples of new composition known
as iegine are exhibited at the museum
in the royal botanical garden at Kew
This substance consists of powdered
cork mixed with fine plaster in the pro-
portion of ten per cent. The cork con-
fers upon the plaster a solidity, dura-
bility, and, above all, ightness which
it does not possess when used alone,
and the new composition can, there
fore, be used for mouldings on thin
partitions and ceilings without any
danger of overweight. Liegine is also
made into brick. 1t can be used as q
non-conducting coating for steampipes
and fin Is ready employment in variou:
other lGays This new material is {
very good illustration of the utilization
of waste product; for it is obvious
that the very smallest cuttings of corl
can oe used up in its manufacture. l
may be added that the cork is reduces

What Big Chicago Crowd Looked at the

It was at an hour, one day lately,
when the intersection of Clark and

street cars, buses, carriages and
wagons. Suddenly a blockade oc-
Cured. People swarmed to the center
of the intersection to see what it was
to which big policeman seemed pay
ing particular attention. The officer
wore merry smile which the people
easily read as meaning that he had
something on hand worth their while
to squeeze forward and see. And sure
enough, as usual, they read Alright
There at his feet lay a huge black bear.
A big bullet hole square between the
ewes showed how the fine-looking ami
NAL had met his fate. Men, women,
newsboys gazed at the strange, strik-

THE CONDITION OF CHINA.
Its Loose and Unstable Form of Govern
ment.


ment.
To describe IChinas condition in the
political terms of the west is very diff
ficult task, so inadequate are these
terms to express the different phases of
oriental life. The government is patri-
archial, and is sustained by the accumu.
lated force of centuries of use and
won't The emperor is lin theory the
father of the people; his subordinates
are little fathers. The officials, high
and low, are supposed to govern accord
ing to established customs and to good
code of laws founded on the precepts of
Confucius. But there is no strong ma
tional sentiment The empire is an ag.
gregation of states, with few of the
connecting links by which, in the multi
form corporate life of the west, prov
ince is knit to province. China leads q
sort of polypus life. The provinces are
separated from each other by spoken
languages, diverging from common
source, as widely as do French.
Italian and Spanish; and within
one province there are variations
of dialect so strongly pronounced as to
make the speech of one district almost
incomprehensible to another. The
means of communication are slow and
costly. There is no highly-vitalized
energy throbbing from one end of the
land to the other. The blood circulates
very slowly through the corporate body.
Strong clan jealousies and mutual dis
trust keep the people apart and force
them to live sectional, disjointed life.
The Chinese system of government
lacks entirely the progressive and uni
flying element of popular election. The
people have no voice in the choice oi
their rulers, and the rulers consider the
people as SO many sheep to be heeced
The officials are paid starvingly low
salaries. and many offices are openly
bought. Corruption and extortion may
therefore, be said to be almost sane
toned, the only restraint being tn
dread of insurrection and the power o
guilds, clans. and secret societies. Ther'
is imperfect protection from robber
and pirates, many villages preferrini
to subsidize robber bands rather thu
| to have to deal with the worse form Q
robbery practiced by tho officials .
