Thanks, darlings. thanks, for your pretty gift,
Csnst guess what IT is 10 me?
How every pulse OF my being thrills,
AS the silvery buds see.
Come closer, I'll tell, with message sweet.
They bear in each tiny fold
A message list from the iairest queen
Your eyes could ever behold.
And it tells that soon, in royal state.
She will take her homeward way;
The birds, TO herald her glad approach,
Are singing a roundelay.
And. again, twas only this very morn,
Ciose to the water side,
In the pretty dell we love so well,
Where the blue-eyed viOlets hide, -

How earth and sky in angry mood
Had wrought the mystery.

As I weave this humble rhyme,
Slowly wandering aud rejecting
On the mysteries Of Time.
Slowly wandering and rejecting
Through your room at eventide,
OF the men Of mighty knowledge.
Who now slumber side by side
In the silent vaults Of ages.
Where no knel is ever sung,
Where no tears are shed In sorrow,
And no songs are ever sung.
Ali see you thinking deeply
BY the lamplight, when the sun
Meath he western sky has faded
And the tiresome DAY is done.
Thinking OF the days departed
When together meath the moon,
You and have wandered alowly
Whistling Ger some old love tune.
Often at the hour Of midnight
We would chant some low refrain
OF the times past aud departed,
That wen never know again.
On the trees within the forest
We have carved in lightsome glse,
The initials Of our sweethesrts,
Whom we never more shall see.
Underneath them we have chissled
On tho beaches bole 50 smooth,
Words Of love and dreamy fancy.
Quite appropriate to our youth.
But the hand of times efaced them,
And in memory remains
All that is Of those words tender,
Thst we carved with many palma
All friend, where are those fair faces
That We used to gaze upon7
They are ike the woods we ehiseled,
Faded and forever gone;
Gone 20 other blooming landscapes
To abide the while we yearn
For the happiness Of olden,
Though it never will return.
OF our old friends, some are welded,
Some reside In balls Of fame;
Some are fighting for fortune,
Others struggling for a name.
We alone are left 10 battle
With the giant form Of fate.
But wen end our tolls and troubles
When we reach that pearly gate.

JUDGE BALDWIN RESIGNS.

Il. D. Baldwin, Judge of the NUM-
cipal Court, rendered his resignation
to Gov. Nelson yesterday, and as soon
as the Governor appoints his success
sor Judge Baldwin will form an ex-
tensive law partnership with W. J.
Mcleod, a young attorney from Ar
lington, who will take up mis- residence
here, and B. F. Fowler. the bright
young lawyer, Who has been with
Judge Baldwin for two months past,
the new firm to be known as Baldwin
Mcleod & Fowler.
AS to just who Gov. Nelson will APP
point to succeed Judge Baldwin is a
question, the Office not being suti-
GENTLY lucrative to warrant any at
torney in retiring from active practice
to accept it. Maj. Powell, who has
retired from active practice long since,
has alone been mentioned, but he is
not certain whether he will accept.
He would make worthy Judge were
he inclined to accept.

In concluding his narrative Mr..
Hobart told of Methodist mission
building residences outside of Chin
csc city in order to avoid the filth of
summer. The inhabitants declared
that the dragon which protected the
city lay under the residences, aud the
latter were so heavy that the imagin-
airy animal could not raise up and
drive the evil spirits away. A mob
was organized, the residences were
torn down, the Catholic cathedral in
the city destroyed, and the mission
aries put to fight for their lives. This
broke up the missionary work in that
city for two years.

upon preparatory course of study.
Here he joined the First Presbyterian

In the whirl of things that succeed
ed the breaking up of the Wright ho-
tel combine last fall, Mr.. Francois saw
the necessity of at once throwing his
hotel open to- the public, and at the
same time he realized that. his poor
health would not permit him to con-
duct it, together with his other bust
ness affairs. But the hotel must be
opened Immediately, and a lessee not
being known, Mr.. Francois was fortu-
nate enough to secure the services of
Mr.. Sam A. Minton, then clerk at the
Salspaugh, Mankato, to manage Ho-
tel Francois until such time when a
lessee could be secured. The latter
was found about two weeks ago in Mr.
Applegate, who upon visiting this
city, became infatuated with it and
concluded to locate here if possible
Negotiations we're entered into al
once, with the result that Mr.. Apple
gate will take charge about the time
above mentioned.
Mrs. Apologize will have entire
charge of the hotel outside of the bus
mess Office, and being lady vel
versed in cooking the culinary de-
partment of the hostelry will be PAL
excellence.
Mr.. Minton is not yet..certain of his
future, but his popularity in the trav,
cling world is well-known, and he vii
not long remain idle.

order compelling E. w. Backus & Co.,
of Minneapolis, who closed F L. Simp-
son, at Belview, to turn over $685. Of
money the firm secured of Simpson
just before he assigned. Judge White,
rep esenting Backus, charged Mr..
Madigan with being unprofessional in
asking for the order, and Mr.. Madi-
gan came back at Mr.. White in about
as sarcastic a manner as possible.
Then Mr.. White moved to strike out
from the assignee's allowance schedule
about $1,000 claims of Simpsons .rela-
tives, claiming that ''if the false claims
of all Simpsons relatives were strick-
en- out, Simpson would be able to pay
100 cents on the dollar Then Geo.
w. Somerville was called in for the
Simpsons, and was granted time to
produce af6davits that the claims
we're alright.
Later in the afternoon when Mr..
Somerville commenced an argument
for his client, B. Simpson. Judge
White accused him Of having been let
into the case by Mr.. Madigan to take
another slice out of the insolvent es-
tate.
"That is falsehood! utterly false"
holly retorted the young giant from
Sleepy Eye

Judge White. ,

DESCENDANT OF THE CONQUEROR.
Capt. Castles Remarks ON the Late
Victor C.. Seward.

In the last number of the North
western Printer, Capt. Henry A. Cas-
tie, the veteran Minnesota newspaper
man, contributes an article on Victor
Carlton Seward, late editor of the
Saltwater Messenger, who was shot
down and fatally wounded by youth
whom Mr.. Seward had counseled to
secure better education before COM
msncing the printers vocation. The
murderer was afterwards declared to
be insane. In the course of his article,
tracing Mr.. Stewards career through
his connection with the Redwood Falls
Mail, which afterwards became the
GAZETTE, Capt. Castle says:
Victor Carlton Seward could, with
out presumption, trace back his line
age to civilian the Conqueror." The
Conqueror's only daughter married
the first notable Earl Of Seward, and
the descendants of the Dudleys of
England having settled in early colon
ial days in Guilford, Connecticut, his
grandmother on his fathers side was
q direct descendant of Lord Guilford
Dudley. His father, Amos Dudley
Seward, left Guilford, Conn.,, for New
York, where Secretary Seward, anoth-
branch of the same family, resided.
Later, he settled in Laketon, Ind,
where, on July 10th, 1916, the subject
of this sketch, Victor Carlton, was
born. Early in 1856 the father, Amos

Three Great Navigators.

To review the work Of Columbus
without referring to that Of vespucius
and Magellan would leave the story Of
new sea and world discovery discon-
nected and incomplete. This will be
patent when it Is remembered that,
though believer in the rotundity Of the
earth, it was not Columbus but Magel-
Ian who first physically demonstrated
that fact by circumnavigation. And Ma
gellan might have failed but for the pre-
vious work of Vespucius. The latter
had explored the Atlantic coast Of South
America farther south than any Of his
predecessors, and the south Atlantic
ocean eastward to the islands Of South
Georgia, nearly to the paralleIof Cape
Horn.
BY this journey vespucius demonstrat-
ed with considerable degree Of GER
tainty that the strait, which had for some
years been looked for, leading to the
elusive unknown sea that bounded the
eastern coast of Asia, was not to be found
through the new lands of the west north
of 81 degrees south, at all events. The
mouth OF the Amazon, the bays Of Rio
Janeiro and of the La Plata had been
explored and were found to contain
fresh water, SO that through none Of
these could an entrance to the unknown
sea ON the farther west be found.
