The GAZETTE publishers enjoy life a
little when four new names are placed
on their subscription book, and three
or four more pay advance subscrip-
tons, as was done last Monday. It
creates feeling in the hearts of the
publishers that their work is being
appreciated.

Eugene Kinmore, of Tracy, won
first prize at the State oratorical con-
test at St. Paul last week, his "Tous-
saint L'Overture" being the selection.
Mr.. Kinmore was fortunate in having
a number of contestants barred for the
reason that their selections we're not
strictly orations. His securing first
prize at St. Paul also shows that there
was something "rotten" in the deci-
sion of the judges at Mankato two
weeks ago, where he was only given
second place. Mr.. Kinmore is a bright,
persuasive and commanding speaker,
and if directed right has bright flu
ture before him.
While in the postoffice Sunday, we
observed whole sack full of Christ
mas presents labeled for the patients
at the hospital, from their friends at
home, and were informed that not
less than a thousand packages, little
and big, had been received thus far
by mail and express, says the St. Peter
Tribune. We are told that nothing so
touches the heart CT the poor unfortu-
nate wards of the State, as the little
packages from friends at home. Mon
ey they care not for, but to receive
the Christmas token from hearts that
once were, and in their rational mo-
ments are still dear to them, are evi.
dence to their poor clouded minds
that though separated from loved
ones they are not forgotten.

Rev, John Sinclair, of this place, who
was chaplain of the party: Rev. John
Sinclair, the Chaplain, was soon ia.
vorite with every member of the par.
ty. Liberal minded and gentlemanly
his presence was ever sought, and he
was quick to overlook the frailities Of
the younger members of the parties
who insisted on the chaplain leaving
his bed at the hour of one, two o.
three in the morning, and contribut.
ing to an extemporaneous programme
"Jakey" Hammond is in trouble
