SUNDAY IN THE HOME.

In many families the problems of the other
six days in the week sink into utter lnslgnln-
canoe when compared with that eyer-recur-
ring and seldom answered question, What
shall we do with The Chi dren on Sunday
Perhaps the old ways of keeping the Sab
bath day were too strict, perhaps the new
ways are too laX-there are any amount OF
perhapses, but they don't count for much
beside the undoubted fact that, in most
homes, Sunday is an unsatisfactory day Tor
both parents and children. Some excellent
words by Elizabeth NJ. Rowland, in the
Congregatonalist, bear on this subject:
"No child wants to rest on Sunday. BY
the time he is through with late breakfast
he is rested to death, and wants to begin liV-
ing again. Now what shall the parent cor

there are worse states. Sup pose they get
tired let them sleep-their fathers often 90.

would not keep them from picnic or a
Christmas tree, and encourage them TO be
regular at the evening service also. Don't
delay buying the needed boots, and II the

children, sending one up stairs to learn the

In the Sunday-schools of thirty and forty
years ago we'said our verses, ,'and that was all.
Our lessons are more interesting nowadays,
our classes better taught, but what do our
scholars carry away? Again, not to know
many of our standard hymns is to be de-

sing little, and since 'singingis the only
accomplishment we take to Heaven we
ought to encourage 1t more on earth.

WOMEN WHO DRINK ,

1t has been pointed out that indulgence IN
wine and spirits is lamentably on the in
crease among fashionable women. Many. I
am aware, says a writer in the Gentle
Woman, eschew every other drink for
brandies and sodas, which they call for at
all hours and imagine they do no
harm, because they take nothing that can
''clash" with au excellent pick me up.
In country houses tagged out. hostesses
offer their guests sherry anj seltzsr in lieu
of tea. Others, again, pin their faith to
half bottle Of dry champagne as an anti
dote to fatigue before or after hard even
ing's work. Now, too, that there is some
thing Of a reaction against tonics and
medicines of all kinds women who once con-
tentedly qualfed their iron and quiuine, cry
instead for two glasses Of port or Burgundy
at II o'clock in the morning. The rate at
which we live, the nervous pressure and ex.
citement have everything to do with this
unfortunate craving for stimulants, and
though it is wicked and ungrateful act to
blame the kind family doctor. still it must
be conceded that he should be little more
chary than he is Of recommending half q

TEMPERANCE.
rIS MY TREAT.

rT's MY TREAT.
Three Young men were walking along on the
street;
"Cone, feilowsm said Tom with the best
Of intent,
Lets all have drink-.:t's my pleasure to
treat"
And intod bar-room they merrily went
For sons will treat and mothers must weep
And habits be sown that will misery reap
At the gilded bar a-groaning.
Three young men whose thirst had been
quenched by one glass
And wanted no more fingered still at the
bar:
NOW take one with me-" exclaimed Dick,
for, alas,
he thought it the way to keep honor at
For men will treat for no reason at all
Except from fear to look stingy or small
At the tempting bar a-moauing.
Three young men who hated the liquor they
auafPed
Stood yet at the bar though they wanted
to go;
"It's my turn to treat" I'LL 'em up" Harry
And down their throats slid the demon Of
woe
They love what at first was nauseating Ill
At the deadly bar a-groaning.
II young men would sensibly sit down and
think
How foolish this custom Of treating be-
comes
And how 1T induces the habit of drink
That ruins their lives and destroys their
sweet homes,
Wives, mothers and sisters no longer would
weep,
For those, being tempted, long agonies
reap
At the heartlesf bar a-moaning.
Or, if from good nature, young persons must
treat
Then let them give what will be good to
the end;
A book or a paper or something to eat
Will neither be harmful to them or
friend
For long as men treat fellow-men to the
worst
Themselves and their dear ones will ever
be cursed
At the DEVILS bar a-groaning.

The attorneys for the state are
County Attorney Hughes and Attor-
ney General-elect Childs, and for the
defense Pau & Young. They were
very careful in their examination of
the different men called to act upon
the jury. and whoever had formed an
opinion in the case or showed dan
gerous amount of knowledge Of the
affair was excused from serving. Often
the examination of juror took as
long as the examination of a witness.
Each juror was asked to state in what
paper he saw an account of the affair,
and the answer generally was that he
had read it in the FREE PRESS.
w. B. TOrrey, 0. @. Daley and Jean
Flittie were appointed "triers," and
these passed upon the question as to
whether the various jurors were COM
petent to serve upon this case.
A juror from Judson was asked
whether he believed chat the account
which he said he had read in the Lake
Crystal Union gave the facts. He re-
piled that he certainly believed the
article, as it was in Republican
paper.
One Juror stated that he had read
an account of the affair in the Manka-
to journal, but explained that as he
did not get that paper more than once
month he did not know much about
the case.
G. p. Linton, who is with Lamm &
Schroeder, claimed,eXemption from jury
duty on the ground of being an attor-
ney. He produced his certificate and
was excused.
In eXcusing the six jurors who were
chosen yesterday afternoon, to go to
their boarding places over night,
Judge Severance stated that he sup
posed that everybody would be want
ing to talk with them about the case,
but directed them to neither talk
about it themselves or to let anyone
else talk to them or in their hearing
about it. He said that if it was nee
essary to put such people out he would
Justify the jurors for doing so.
The jurors selected were Chas. n.
Fuller, e. d. Jones, julius Blume,
Herman Lehman, David Crone, Thos.
Taylor, Chas. Yaeger, Hugh d.
Hughes and j. M. Chapman,
Frederick Swanson, Wendelin Mil
