The members of the &. A. h. who
honor true patriotism. their sons who
are organized to fill the dwindling
ranks that Time is cutting down with
fast and frequent slashing of his scythe,
should determine with firm resolve
not to allow another Memorial Day to
dawn unless its loyal light shines down
upon a proper tribute to his worth at
the grave of Key. Let his memory be
honored with monument and then in
future years his grave will be the
Mecca at which not only on Memorial
Day, but on every day of every year,
those whose boSoms ache to be soothed
by the salient sense of something high
and beautiful IN life can gather and be
brought In overdose communion with
the spirit Of the dust reposing there.
Make that tomb Il fitting shrine for
the one whose human relics it en-
shrouds, and it will draw from every
corner of the land pilgrims to worship
at the symbol everlasting of valor,
love and patriotic pride.-Frederick
Ners.

A woman never sets prunes before
the man she loves.
The woman that never sings isn't
much of woman.
The best mirror for person to look
into is his conscience.
What the world needs is less medi-
cine and more nature.
A tender-foot is man who has
boils on his backbone.
Persons who know the least are al
ways the most critical.
A woman's most forgetful moments
are when asked her age.
While man is at public meeting
talking economy his wife is at home
practicing it.
Candidates and flies come in the
Spring together. The flies leave in
the Winter but the candidates we have
with you always.
The philosopher who said that all
things come to him who waits might
have added that the man who goes
after them gets them much quicker.

Nice Construction,

a gentleman, dying, left all his
estate to monastery, on the condition
that on the return Of his only son, who
was then abroad, the worthy fathers
should give him whatever they should
choose When the sou came home he
went TO the monastery, and received
but a small share, the monks choos
ing to keep the greater part for
themselves. y barrister, to whom he
applied, on hearing the case, advised
him to sue the monastery, and promised
to gain his case for him. In arguing
before the court the ingenious lawyer
said 1.-The testator has left his son
that share of the estate which the
monks should choose these are the
express words of his will. Now it is
plain what part they have chosen by
what they keep for themselves. My
client, then, stands upon the words Of
the will. Let me have says he, that
part they have chosen, and | am
satisfied" This plea gained the suit.

Geo. W. Somerville is just little bit
of politician himself. He hasn't at
tempted to fly yet, but the feathers are
there to make senator or even con
gresham out of him. ~
John Kolbe came down from Leaven-
worth with the hope of getting seat but
the committee on credentials was -agi'n
him. Maybe the fact that Kolbe spoiled
the last senatorial delegation for Peter
son had something to do with it.
Geo. Harrington was on deck as usu-
al-this time, however, contesting for a
seat. AS someone is heard to have re-
marked, when you see Geo. Harrington
on the street you can makeup your mind
that Republican convention is being
held, for he has attended them all for the
last thirty years.
Geo. Raverty and Andrew jackson
Gilman generally furnish the fun for the
conventions. They quarrel enough to
make one think they were York State
Democrats, but then there Is this differ
ent after half an hour Of dispute for
the amusement Of the crowd, they take
each other by the aim and wander of
alone to convenient place to drown
their sarcasm and their jokes.

issued. This is just what certain delegates
to that convention contended at the time
but Peterson and his heutenants thought
they knew better and so the senatorial
delegation of twenty was chosen. Then
the senatorial committee met and decld-
ed on basis of 20 for Brown and 81 for
Redwood. They took the presidential
vote for their guidance, but the resolu-
tion sets forth that inasmuch as the Office
of senator is state Office, the apport;on-
ment should be made on the vote cast
for some state Office, for instance COVER
nor. Such logic is without precedent or
sense, but of course it suits Peterson and
that's what is wanted. Accordingly the
resolution names 20 new. delegates, in
Guiding many Of the old delegates, but
leaving out all the doubtful ones, and
instructs them not to enter conventio n
that is not called on the bases Of one de-
legate for every so votes cast for Nelson
and if a call for such a convention is
not issued, tc hold convention of their
own if they see fit and nominate can
didate Of their own. The latter is the
only possible outcome, for the delegation
elected at Sleepy Eye IS just as legal and
will go into the convention tomorrow
and nominate Republican candidate for
senator and it won't be Peterson either.

A considerable proportion of failures
in business and 90 per cent of the defal-
cations and thefts and ruin of youth
among people who are employed in pla-
ces of trust are due directly to gambling.
I have seen in my vast employment so
much misery from the head of the fami-
ly neglecting its support, and squander-
inghis earnings in the lottery or the po-
licy shop, and promising young men led
astray in small way, and finally becom-
ing tugitives or landing in the criminal

ates public gambling cannot have pros

The truest education is that which
most adequately prepares the young for
those duties which they are likely to be
called upon to fulfill IN later years, but
none are so important as those which
pertain to their relations to humanity
and of these immeasurably the most i'm
portant are those dependent on the mar
riage tie. It is my deliberate conviction
therefore, that knowledge of the laws
which govern such relationship should
not come with sudden shock and bewil.

Isabel Somerset, in the Union Signal
Chicago.
Unless current information upon the
subject is misleading, both master and
mistress in an English home can buy
much more domestic comfort than the
same expenditure could gain for them in
America; and that mainly for the trite
reason that English servants are better
trained, more easily procured and cheap

During the first six months of the pres
ent fiscal year more than 100000 per-
sons slept in the public dormitory in this
city, or to be more correct, the number
OF lodgings furnished during that period
amount to more than 100000. To be
sure it may be taken for granted that
many persons slept there many times and
some persons probably every night, But
even under these circumstances the num-
Der seems very large. Institutions of
this kind are not established for the ben
eft of habitual beggars or tramps, and it
would be we'll for the managers to have
those who make habit of sleeping there
every night arrested and sent to asylums
or institutions where they can be given
work during the day. If this be done
there will surely be less begging, and
possibly less stealing, done in the
streets.-Two Republics, City of Mexi-
