For the Mothers.

AS boys grow up make companions
of them, then they will not seek coEi.
panionship elsewh here.
Let the children make noise some
times; their happiness is as important
as your nerves.
Respect their little secrets. If they
have concealments, worrying them
will never make them tell, and pa
tience will probably do the work.
Allow them as they grow older to
have opinions of their own: make
individuals and not mere echoes.
Remember that without physical
health mental attainments are worth
less let them lead free, happy lives,
which will strengthen both mind and
body.
Bear in mind that you are largely
responsible for your children's inner
ited character, and have patience with
faults and failings.
Talk hopefully to your children of
life aud its possibilities you have no
right to depress them because you
have suffered.
Teach boys and girls the actual facts
of life as soon as they are old enough
to understand them, and give them
the sense Of responsibility without
saddening them.
Find out what their special tastes
are, and develop them, instead OF
spending time, money, and patience
in forcing them into studies which
are repugnant to them.
AS long as it is possible kiss them
flf q % a ra in II6 4 h ax,
do like it so, and it keeps them very
close.
If you have lost child, remember
that for the one that is gone there is
nothing more to do, for those remain
ing, everything; hide your grief for
their sakes.
Impress upon them from early in
fancy that actions have results, and
they cannot escape consequences even
by being sorry when they have acted
wrongly.
AS your daughters grow up, teach
them at least the true merits of house
keeping and cookery they will thank
You for it in later life great deal more
than for plishments.
Try and sympathise with girllsh
flights of fancy, even if they seem
absurd to you by so doing you will
retain your influence over your daugh-
ters, and not teach them to seek
sympathy elsewhere.
Remember that although they nre
all your children, each one has an in
dividual character, and tastes and
qualities vary indefinitely.
Cultivate them separately, and not
as if you We're turning them out by
machinery.
Encourage them to take good walk
ing exercise. Young ladies in this
country are rarely walkers. Girls
ought to be able to walk as we'll as
boys. Half of the nerveOus diseases
that affllct young ladies would disap-
pear if the habit of regular exercise
were encouraged.
Keep up,a right standard of prin-
ciples. Your children will I've your
keenest judges in the future. Do be
honest with them in small things as
well as in great. If you cannot tell
what they wish to know, say 80,
rather than deceive them.
Reprove your children of talebear-
ing; a child taught 10 carry reports
from the kitchen to the parlor is de-
testable.
Remember that visitors praise the
children as much to please you as they
deserve it, aud their presence is oftener
an atfiiction than not.-Selected.

The Christian Standard.

Trials. NO saint of God ever passed
through the pearly gates without first
passing through trials. To, this re-
mark there is no exception. II any OF
us expect to get to heaven without
trials we expect to do what no son or
daughter of Adam has ever done. II
we had no trials this world would
cease to be state Of probation. When
we cease to expect to get along with
out trials we will cease to be disapp0int-
ed when trials come. We will greatly
tighten our burdens if we will but take
for granted that trials must come.
No other blessings are so greatly un-
der-valued as are the blessings Of az
fiic.ions, trials, aud prosecutions.
These things are all blessings In dis
guise. We will never know till we get
to heaven what blessings have come to
US through affiiction.
Our readers, when tried and afflicted,
write for an interest in our prayers.
Our sympathies are greatly moved by,
these letters. Our prayers are some
times answered when we fail to reeog-
nize that they are answered. The.
affliction in some cases is removed, but
in other cases the tria, continues, hut
the Holy Spirit whispers to the heart
saying, "My grace Is sufficient for
thee" or, las thy day 30

sometimes more for our good and Gods
glory for US to be sustainedin the fur
mace than to be delivered. We may
mistake and be I'm too great haste to
getout Of The furnace. We pray app
propriately when we ask God either
TO deliver us from the trial or give US
grace and strength to bear 1t.

RATHER COMPLICATED.

The Business Affairs of e. X.
Smith 6 Co. Somewhat Tan
gled.
The business affairs of the firm of E.
<. Smith 81 Co. are at present causing a
great deal of litigation. The application
for a receiver for the firm, which has
been undergoing a hearing before
Judge Russell for the past two days, has
developed a strong feeling among the
various parties interested. In the first
place, upon application of the members
of the firm, a receiver was appointed by
the court to take charge of the affairs
only rs far as protecting each member
of the firm was concerned. Then the
creditors made application for a re-
ceiver, which"was cOmbated by the firm,
which refused to either assign or have a
| receiver appointed.
The creditors have attempted to show
that E. K. Smith, who owns some prop
| erly. sold out his former business on
the business was still as &. x. Smith d.
Co., which led the creditors to believe
| that he was member OF the firm. The
object of the crOss-eXaminatiOn of the
attorney for the creditors was to show
| that E. K. Smith told commercial agen-
cieS that he was a member of the firm,
and that it secured credit thereby. At
attempt was made to show that the sale
to the sons was really without valid con-
| sideration, the payment being in claims
against mining company that was
owned and controlled by the Smiths.

Don Their Sunday Clothes and
Play at Minnetonka.
Yesterday was the day that"the letter
that we longed for never came" for the
reason that eacn servant of the public
wore his Sunday clothes and played.
The largest picnic of the season was in
progress at Lake Minnetonka, where
the mail carriers of the Twin Cities,
with their wives, SweetheartS and
friends, were enjoying their annual
outing. Owing to the fact that Uncle
Sam's post boys cannot all leave
town at once, the crowd reached
the scene by degrees, and the
full attendance at the end OF the
day numbered at least 1,5J0. The squads
went out over the Great Northern road
and Spring Park was picuIc headquar,
tiers. During the afternoon a programme
of athletic sports was held on the picnic
grounds, and fun of all kinds was in
progress In the evening, after the crowd
had assembled. the steamer City of ST..

There was an orchestra on board
and with dancing by moonlight the

STRIKh SITUATION.
Eleven Companies of Militia Or
dered to Be Ready.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 25.-The strike
situation in the Cherokee district is re-
garded as so serious by Gov. Lewelling
and his advisers that eleven companies
of militia have been ordered to hold
themselves in readiness to move on
three hours notice. The lieutenant
governor arrived from the scene of the
strike early last evening ana was i'm
mediately clOseted with Gov. Lewelling,
to whom he made full report of
the situation as lie viewed it, The
governor decided that troops would
probably be neeued, and hb turned the
command over to Maj. Gen. Daniels,
with instructions to act as his Judgment
might direct. Accordingly Gen. Daniels
issued the orders placing the eleven
companies under arms. By noon word
had been received from the captains of
all the companies included in the order
that their men were under arms and
ready for the march. Gov. Lewelling,
in order to be more fully advised and to
be posted as events progress, last night
sent j. F. Close, his private secretary.
to Weir City, with orders to report from
time to time by telegraph.
Lieut.. Gov. Daniels stated this morn
ing that he regarded the situation as
very critical, and that it might break
out into violence and bloodshed at any
time. He hopes that Sheriff Arnold will
be able to preserv order with his force
of armed deputies, but they are so few
compared with the strikers that 1t
would be an unequal contest should the
two forces come together. Lieut.. Gov.
Daniels submitted his report in writing
to the governor this afternoon. He re-
hearses the differences between the
men aud the mine owners which
caused the strike, and says the
disputs now hinges ION difference
without a distinction. The miners say
they are willing to go back to work at
the price per ton regulated by the pay
they were getting before the change in
the screen law. The operators say they
are willing to pay the same price per
ton that they were paying before the
change in the law. Lieut.. Gov. Daniels
says this difference ought to he arbitrat-
ed without difficulty, and recommends
that the governor take steps to bring
about arbitration.
The report discourSes upon labor
troubles in general.

The New England Bank.
Nearly a Confiasration.

Fire broke out in pile of laths IN the
west yard of the Akeley lumber yards
about o'clock yesterday afternoon,
which but for the prompt action of the
fire department must have proven dis
astrous. The lath pile occupies a ground
space of 100 feet square and contained
$500, 600 laths. The fire started in the
west end of the pile, and. with the wind
in a 'nOrthwesterlY direction, might well
have cleaned the place. A couple hours
OF hard work, however, brought it under
control. Nearly the entire force of the
city was called out and worked with
will. The damage resulting from the
fire will not exceed $500, fully cover Ell
by insurance. The entire iath pile was
carrying an insurance of $4,000.

The Minnesota Loan & Trust Co.
Allow five per cent interest on six

OF Vital Importance

petition has been filed in the dis
trict court by the attorney general ask
ing that the receiver of the American
Exchange bank be compelled to pay to
the state treasurer so. 5O2.61, the same
being the amount of deposit on hand
due TO the state at the time or the as
signment. The state insists that it is
preferred claim, and of such nature
that the receiver should pay it out of
available funds. The depositors will
claim that ii the money is paid it will
place the depoSitors of all banks IN the
shape of being liable for state funds be-
fore the bondsmen of the bank. They
will claim that the bOndSmen should be
held first. The matter will come up
next Saturday, and is OF such vital i'm
portance that all the Judges who can be
found Will set when the case is heard.
A similar petition against the State
bank will be disposed of at the same
time.
