little wording in coarse Bingham
frock and stubby shoes, stole out of the
darkness and drew nesr the foot of the
cross.
Stray CLEANS of light from the sanctuary
fell tenderly on the thorn-crowned Christ,
and on the upturned baby face. quivering
with pity and wistful love
The cruel spike transtixing the bleeding
feet thrilled his childish soul with respon-
sive agony, eleyating it to the sacrifice of
Golgotha- A divine impulse to manifest
his love. TO help the tortured Christ, grew
strong within him, and presently became
tangible In votiye Offering.
On the tiles beneath the cross lay some
faded flowers, withered. worthless things,
probably swept into the shadow by the
frou-frou of a silken skirt.
The tiny devotee gathered them eagerly,
and with awkward touch wove them into q
babv's conception of beauty.
Powers for God. poor Cod" he whis-
pered Ieverently, and reaching up to the
pedestal, laid his offering on the mangled
feet.
Was IL only fancy, or did the sanctury
light grow Brighter as it touched the un-
slightly gift? A bsby's handful Of wither-
ed blossoms. but they covered the spike
and the cruel wound.-Donahoe's Maya

MASS. lau VI Teen years, VINO mas Dtel
enjoying his school vacation with relatives
al Southwest and Northeast Harbors, met
with an accident which but for his coura-
geous presence Of mind. might have re-
suited fatally. He was alone in q sailboat
outside the mill dam, Intending TO cross
the harbor. Ia shifting the sal. the boom
caught against the small mast aud before
he could clear ii -qusll struck the boat
and she capsized, finging him into the
water. Being good swimmer he turned
on his back and proceeded to diyest him
self of his extra clothing. by first pulling
the sneakers out of his bootlees. then
pulling off the rubber boots. No, wishing
to lose his watch and money, even though
he might not reach shore himself. he took
of his overcoat containing his property
and dashed it securely to an oar; then
he was ready to swim or sink. Luckily
he kept hold Of the boat. which was hat
on her side. and the rush of the current
took them through the milldam inside,
where ii was an easy matter to reach a
safe landing. Had he become frightened
or have been unable TO keep afioat he must
inevitably have been drowned The art of
swimming should be early learned by every
child.

THE LEGISLATURE.
TWENTY-EIGHTH SESSION.
tuesday, Jan. "a.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 24.--The house econcurrent.res-
olution, calling for an investigation of the OPP
erations of the coal combine, caused q good
deal of trouble in the senate. Senator Don
nelly offered an amendment to limit the ex-
penditure to $500. Senator Day wanted the
limit of expenditure raised to $1,000, but was
voted down by a vote of - to "a. The $500 limit
was then adopted and the resolution was
passed as amended by q vote of Al to 4. Dom
nelly, Dean and Morse were named for the
joint committee.
Senator Craven called up his resolution call
ing for an increase of the committee on munic-
ipal corporations The motion was lost and
the senate adjourned.
The house had busy morning session, but
there was nothing of special interest on the
programme except the introduction of bills
There were host of these, but the majority
of them were of comparatively little i'm
portance. Mr.. Bleecker, of Hennepin, intro
duced two important bills. One of them Is to
knock out that clause in the standard policies
OF insurance companies which provides that
the company shall not be bound by the action
of any agent who has not written contract
MIR. Bleeckers second bill provides for taking
the limitation of railroad tickets and making
. ticket good either way between the points of
destination.
Majority and minority reports on the ticket
scalpers bill were brought in, the majority
recommending its passage. 1t was referred to
the judiciary committee for scrutiny.
The speaker announced that the time had
arrived to take up the Bidderman- Hin richs
election case, but at the request of Mr.. Cairns
it was postponed until the same hour on
the 2Tth

FRIDAY. Jan. 37,

ST. PAUL, Jan. 27.-The house as q body does
not favor the idea of having the federal gov
ernment go into the coal business, and take
possession of the anthracite coal fields as emf
nent domain. They voted down the senate
majority that was large and enthusiastic, The
vote was non-partisan one.
There was little else of Importance done in
the lower branch of the legislature save the in
PRODUCTION of bills, and there were but few of
these. Two free text book bills were among
the number
The Biddeman-Henrichs contest case was
settled by seating Henrichs. Resolutions were
then adopted regarding the death of Mr..
Blaine and the house took recess to 230 D. m.
After the introduction of bills, the senate
went into committee of the whole with Sena-
tor Mcmillan in the chair.
The first bill taken up was that of Senator
Wood, reducing court reporters fees for tran
scriptiOn from l5 to 10 cents. The bill was rec
commended to pass.
The committee arose long enough to receive
and concur in the house resolutions with refer
ence to the death of Mr.. Blaine, and then set
tied back into the harness again. On motion
of Senator La Due, the worlds fair appropria-
tion bill was taken up. The bill calls for an
appropriation of 100000 for the uses of the
board, designed to be used in repayment of the
money raised by the board by private subscrip-
ton Before dispOsing of the matter the COM
mittee arose, and senate adjourned to p. m.
Both houses met pursuant to adjournment.
Nothing of Importance was transacted outside
of routine matters, and adjournment was
taken to D. IN. Monday,

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. = James G.
Blaine died at II o'clock this morning.
The end came peacefully, the ex-secre-
tary passing from an unconscious state
into that of death. His wife and chill
dren were at his bedside. An nattendant
stationed at the door of the mansion to
answer the inquiries of the newspaper
correspondents, made the announce
ment.
The news spread to the Capitol and
throughout the city in few minutes.
1t was everywhere expected. but when
the announcement came the impression
was more striking than any that has
been created by similar news since the
death of Abraham Lincoln.
