Teach Girls How to Use Money,

Would it not be wise if some exer-
cise in the mysteries Of money were
added to the curriculum of every
girls studies? A boy finds it all out
by actual contact with the public as
soon as he is out and part of it;
but a girl may become a mature
woman, shrinking then through the
habit of long protection, and be
thrown on the mercies of the world
with her money to fall the prey to
the first cheat and cozen. She is
taught at school the spectra of the
stars. and the map OF Mars; what
pity that she should not be instruct
ed in the workings of life on the planet
where she lives! That a knowledge
of the nature and meaning and care
OF money should be made part OF
every girls education is growing
more and more evident in this age of
enlargement and prosperity, which
puts money into the hands of SO
many women. And the coming CEN
tury, the woman's century, as it is
already called, in which SO many
women will be workers and earners
OF money, it is all the more impor-
tant, in order that they may be
neither handicapped nor too far out
stripped, that they should be well in
structed as to business movements
and investments. that they may be
directed in the right way before they
set out to earn.-Harper's Bazaar.

BISHOP ZARDETTI
Docs Not Take Kindly to Mr.. ROchoil's
Attitude With Regard to Free
Text Books.

: The Daily Journal Press of Monday
contains translation OF Bishop
Zardetti's letter which recently ap-.
peared in "Der Wanderer," German
Catholic paper published at st. Paul.
also an editorial which appeared in
''Der Wanderer'' OF the same date.
Following are the articles referred
to-: Il
A f'FREE TEXT BOOK BILL FOR MIN
NEsOTA.
Our prediction of fortnight ago
is shown to have good foundation,
viz: During the present session OF
the legislature the attempt wonld
again be made to pass all act per-
mitting free text books to all public
schools. One of the first measures
introduced into the house is the SD
called Winston Free Text Book Bill.
The ground upon which every right
minded citizen should oppose such a
measure, we have Of late years pre-
sented so often that a detailed repe-
tition of it may passed by. One
must protest where such action Is
probable, to his representatives i'll
the senate and house against the
passage of any free text book law,
though such opposition shall appear
in the attitude OF ''kicking. The
state (the political comentary) has
no right to furnish free text books to
a single child at public cost. Espec'-
ally is this true since many thousand
children OF those who send to other
schools cannot use these privileges,
and citizens who enjoy these new
benefits do SO at the expense OF the
children of others.

SUGGESTIONS.
St. Cloud Receives Some with Refer
ence to Water Supply and Fire
Department. @

Hubert Hanson, as secretary of the
local Board OF Underwriters, says
Wednesdays Journal Press. received
a communication this morning from
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's, New York, making the fol-
lowing suggestions in reference to
the fire department and water sup
ply of St Cloud:
!. That encouragement be given
to the steps already taken to pro-
cure new hook and ladder truck, as
recommended by the chief.
2. That the condition OF the water
supply, in view of; the difficulty stat
ed receive special attention. The
movement already made by the city
to compel the water company to per-
form proper service should be en-
.couraged and ne effort relaxed to
secure that end. :.
3. That the provision he adopted
to prevent the obstruction OF fire hy-
drants, and that regular inspections
of their conditions be made.
+. That fusible wires be adopted
as an extra precaution against burn
ing out of fire alarm telegraph ap-
paratus.
5. That an ordinance be adopted
calling for the investigation OF
fires and that the system OF electric
lighting be subject to inspection.

WRECK ON THE j.. F. & D.
Caused by a Broken Flange on the
@ Wheel of a Box Car.

From Fridays Daily. ,z@s . =
The wreck on the Little Falls &
Dakota yesterday occurred about q
mile east of Sauk Centre, on the Sauk
river bridge. 1t was caused by a
broken fiange on u wheel of box
car. <-.e.o~ ...-..-.'' ~ .es ~
One freight car and two coaches
were thrown from the rails and why
they did not roll into the river
is a mystery. Had they done SO a
number Of passengers would have
been killed or injured. AS it is, the
only person injured was A. V. Carpen-
ter, who had his fingers bruised. f.:
The wrecking crew, consisting of
thirty men from Brainerd, went out
yesterday afternoon and Superin-
tendent Law went up on the Great
Northern. This morning they had
succeeded in getting the freight ear
on the track. An effort is being
made to get the coaches up without
breaking them to pieces, but it is
doubtful if it can. be done, as one Of
them rests on the piling Of the bridge,
and is liable to fall into the river at
any time. Yard Master Meyers went
out last night with mail car and a
coach, SO that the train will proceed
to Morris as soon as the track is
cleared.
No. lO1 arrived from Brainerd on
time this morning, but will wait here
until the obstruction is removed,
which will probably be this evening.

EXPERIENCE.
Chief Of Police Roy and Barney Burton
Purchase $40 Worth.

From Saturdays Daily.
Chief of Police Roy went around
to the First National Bank the other
day andpaid a little bill amounting
to $15. 1t was for ''friend who
has gone" and Mr.. Roy has charged
it up to experience.
Sometime last fall there was a
young man in the city who went by
the name of Fred j. Hillpert. Soon
after coming here he event broke''
and drew on his father, who lives
at Fairfax, Minn., for $15 Mr. Roy
endorsing the draft.
The draft was sent back by the
Fairfax bank as the young mans
pa, would not put up. A short time
afterward the bank wrote to the
First National saying to send the
draft and it would be honored, the
cashier did SO, but the Fairfax bank
event up'' a few weeks ago, and Mr..
Roy had to stand the loss
1t also transpires that along in
November, Barney Burton cashed a
check for this young man for S.. 1t
was sent to the First National bank
of Denver, on which it was drawn.
but was returned, as it was
fraudulent.
1t is hoped that Chief Roy and Mr.
Burton will hold an experience
meeting in few days and invite the
boys in.

A bill was presented to the little
Falls city fathers a few days ago
from store keeper who had supplied
a poor family. 1t called for GER
tain sum for "cranberries, raisins and
a shirt" They were highly indignant
at such reckless expenditure and de-
clared that in future the poor must be
supplied only with necessities. In our
humble opinion, though we would not
set it up against the c. f: aforesaid,
shirt is very necessary article at
this season of the year, both for poor
and rich. It is right to economist,
but for heavens sake, gentlemen, wait
till summer; wait till the warm and
gentle breezes from the south begin
to toy with the whiskers Of your ver,-
erable mayor; wait till the robins
come as sain and nest in the tree tops
wait till after Fuller gets back from
legislature. Then, if you must econ
omize in the line indicated, let ,olr
economy, like your charity begin al
home.-Royalton Banner.

In gloomy solitude Deaths mansion stands
Without the weary writers keep nights watch,
And speak in bated tones their story sad.
The stars shed down pale radiance over nll
Fair Lunas veiled in clouds and hides her face.
The great otomac wanders slowly on;
Its archng trees in sorrow bow their heads.
While thro' the leaves mournful requiem steals
The house is dark, save in that upper room,
Where sorrow sts-a Pickering light appears
Faint emblem of the light fast fading out,
There patient wife devoted till the last,
Resigned to God bows meekly to His will,
And bdes the awful end with courage rare.
That palid face, that wan and wasted form,
Can this be he, Columbia's fav'rte son?
The peerless chief OF craftsmanship sublim,
Whose won6rous gifts have been the theme o
Fame,
The idol OF great and glorious land!
IT'S true, alas, deaths dews are on his brow.
The pnmp Of Power. Ambitions lured flame;
Arouse him not, his race is nearly run,
And he but waits the final summons now.
nations grief hangs over that hcme today,
nations prayers for him to heaven ascend.

The man who does all Of his trad
ing at home is OF the most value to a
town. A day labOrer who spends
800 during the year, and spends it
with his home merchants, is worth
more to the business OF a town than
a millionaire whose wealth drops in
to the till of some foreign merchant
whose cut prices of a few leading ar
ticEes advertised in the daily papers
leaves an impression OF cheap prices,

chant, if he had a chance, would like

A BROKEN HEART
Made Whole by the Application of
Twenty-Five Pieces of
Silver.

A young lady Of sweet sixteen
walked into the Office OF Little
Falls attorney the other day and
asked if there was any way by which
she could make a recalcitrant lover
return to her and fulfil his promise OF
leading her to Hymen's altar, while
the year was yet young. She had blood
in her eye and wanted justice with a
big J, and was bound to have it.
From her dress ope would Judge
that she was not wealthy, and from
her conversation that she was of
Polish ancestry.
The man OF law sized her up and
informed her that the best and cheap
est way to do was to see the young
man and try to settle the matter
She took his advice, and after a
time returned with her mother and
the y ung man. 1t was picture
that would bring tears to the eyes of
a stone image as they entered the
office in the following order:
Maiden, with blood in her eye.
Mother, with more blood in her eye.
Young man, very sad.
The young lady re-told her tale of
woe, and the young man admitted it
to he a fact, and proposed to settle
on the basis Of paying the maiden
$2O if she would release him from his
promise, but she scorned his propo-
sition. and asked for $50. After con-
siderable talk, in which the girls
mother took a hand, they split the
difference and settled for $25.
The attorney did not tell us how
much he got for settling the case,
but like all lawyers he probably
does business for glory.

THE BISHOPS ROAST.


Following this is the letter from
Bishop Zardetti:
To the Editor OF The Wanderer:'
From your last number l hear
with surprise that Mr.. Rocholl, coun-
ty superintendent OF schools for
Stearns county, the week before
warmly endorsed Mr.. Kiehle, and in
an unqualified way gave his support
to a so-called free text book measure.
More surprising yet was the an
nouncement in the current number OF
"The Nordstern' that that paper felt
imDelled to give Mr.. Rocholl warm
praise for his stand.
There may be here and there a
farmer who has not seen further than
the line fence on his possessions, and
who for present must use the district
schools for the education of his edu-
cation of his childre II, who in such n
wish agrees with Mr.. Rochon. But
this is certainly not true OF the Cath
olic population, or OF the clergy and
least of all true of his bishop. At the
earliest opportunity, viz. at next
election, Mr.. Rocholl will have to
give answer for his action. All the
more strange is his conduct since Mr..
RocholI belongs to the Catholic
Teachers association, of Stearns
county.
We must never depart from piinci-
pies even though material benefit
accrues from such action. Infurnish
ing free text books, the state plainly
oversteps it's domain. We Catholics
for whom conscience makes it duty
to maintain our own schools, as citi
zens, have been done rank injustice
by the imposition of such a burden.
Here in wintry Minnesota, Lii such
a measure carriesl one thing only
would be lacking: viz, that the pa
ternal power of the state should fur
nish warm soup as well as overshoes
etc., for the children in it's schools.
and have besides monopoly Of in
telligence.
Yours truly.

A ScurrilOus Circular.


A circular signed w. G. Roland,
has just been received by the
TRANSCRIPT. It accuses Robert
.Brough OF Alexandria of the murder
of his mother and accessory and.
implicated in the murder Of his half
bro other Godfrey Nivien, formerly
of the same place, is branded as an
accessory with Brough in the crime.
1t is evident that the intention OF the
writer is to injure the character of
both these men, and Gov. knute
Nelson, as it associates him with
them.
This is about. as low a piece OF
business as we ever heard of, and it
is not likely that> anyone who
receives one of these circulars will
take any stock in the statements
therein contained.
II there is such a man as w. C..
Roland he should be looked up and
dealt with according to law.
P. j. Killeen, who for some years
past has been toiIing for wealth in
far away. Alaska, arrived in the city
on Friday last to make his brother
Tom, a visit. Seven years have not
only made changes in our city which
were pleasant for him to behold, but
they also have made changes in P.J.
and many of his old friends could
not call his name readily. He tells
some great stories of the far away
country but also says he has given
up his residence there, and sold out
his possessions. Like many Others
in Alaska he has heard of the Won
derful wealth and health to be found
in Southern Africa, and thither he is
bound. He does not know how long
he will remain here, but he gives one
an interesting and true account OF
the regions which he SO recently left.
