AN invitation reaches our desk this
week to attend the marriage of Miss
Ethel May, daughter of our esteemed
contemporary L. A. Brooks of the
Hector Mirror, to Mr.. Melvin Bur
nette Childs, which happy event will
take place the 18th inst. at the NJ. E.
Church, Renville, MINI. We are eX-
ceedingly grateful for the kind remem-
brance, and at first glance decided to
attend the joyous event, as, having
once passed through this experience,
we could enter into all the mingled
feelings of joy, happiness, doubt, trepi-
dation, and where is-this-a ll-g going
to-end feeling, which attends these
sometimes all right occasions. Upon
second thought, however, we are
forced to send our regrets, as, having
other engagements demanding our
every hour, occupied and otherwise,
we cannot lend our presence to grace
the festivities, neither can we send the
customary Offering of plated sugar
bowl, or pewter knives, not even the
old shoe and rice, while having an
abundance but we do send our kindest
thoughts to these young hearts about
to embark upon the sea of life, bic
them Godspeed, and pray that theil
future years may glide happily away
without care or sorrow, that no shadow
will ever hang over their fair name
To the father and mother who bu
lose daughter to gain son, we wisl
many years of life, and that these year
may be frightened and cheered by tn
merry prattle of grandchildren with
out number.

the morning, to ride still more de-
corously behind two horses and stiff
backed cOachman IN the afternoon, and
to dance tremendously in the evening
to the lasclvious piping of disaffected
piano, a rebellious fiddle and blatant
cornet-these are the joys of those who
are too poor to race yachts with princes
and too rich to catch cells by the light of
kerosene lamp" No very sharp
moral points this little tale. Such as it
is, the seeker for summers fun will
have no trouble in finding for himself.
The question is, will he have the cour-
age to give it self-application.- Boston

man had gone twenty-eight days with
out eating. The name Of the paper he
was editing was not stated.
We are all Democratic editors here
tonight. but looking at it one way it
does not make much difference Wheth-
er Congress is Democratic Or Republic
can. In either event the editor gets
the usual quantity of public docu-
ments'' with which to light the fires
in the sanctum stove.
Yes. editors have much to bother
them, but Mr. Talmage is wrong
when he says all editors are miserable.
Some of them are dead. Occasionally
there is a good deal of competition in
our business. / have noticed several
instances where newspaper in a
small town had a hard time making
living, another is started to help it
starve to death.
1t has been charged that there are a
great many old jokes in the papers,
but that can't be helped. Newspaper
men are good and die young, and the
newcomers in the business don't know
what has already been published.
am pleased to notice that with al
our trials and troubles you will still
uphold the time-honored traditions OF
the profession. Every woman that
commits suicide has 'lovely golden
hair" every trout is a "speckleC
beauty" every social gathering is "the
most recherche affair of the season; :
every lady is still "beautiful and &C
complished, and every newspaper VIZ
hate is still "our esteemed contempt
rary."
While we may not be rich, most O.
us have valuable assets. [ am offer
ing right now to exchange six spring
poems for bottle of cough syrup.
Gentlemen, in conclusion, drink t.
the freedom of the country press
which is due to its unshackled con
ditiOn.

The World at Play.

AS class pleasure seekers offer an
interesting subject for superficial study,
or, rather, observation. This is the
time of year when tired business man
and the social devotee begin to devise
means for their summers recreation,
while the plodding, accomplishing,
easily satisfied citizen looks smilingly
on and comes to the logical conclusion
that those who get the most enjoyment
out of the summer months are the very
wealthy and those of moderate means.
1t must be granted, though perhaps
reluctantly. that those whom we are
wont to speak of satirically as the
-Four Hundred really show great
wisdom in their summerings. In polo,
tennis, yachting, ocean voyaging, and
later on in riding across the country,
they keep the health and vigor of the
body up to fine pitch, and they make
the mind alert to get the best enjoy
ment out of their pleasures.
But even better than their fun is that
of the persons of moderate means who
betake themselves to the less-eXpensive
resorts along the shores of the Atlantic
coast or among the mountains and
hills of New England. They show true
wisdom in their manner of employing
their vacation hours. They revel, says
an observant writer in the luxury of
clothing which they are not afraid to
tear Or soil. They sheer not at the
most modest and retiring catboat, even
though she be clinker built and have a
green deck. They take no thought OF
the cut or texture of their bathing
suits, but they display a marvellous
amount of agility and hilarity amid the
breakers, and they get up baseball
games in which the number of runs is
approached only by the number OF
muffs, and the lack Of skill is dis
counted by the amount of enthusiasm
and noise.
How different with the unfortunate,
misguided creature whose only wealth
is in his pretensions. No rolling in the
sand for him, if you please; no loung,
ing among the daisies of the field, MOI
any sliding to bases, nor any polo, MOI
any yachting, nor any whooping it UP
generally. He has too much respect
for those confections in dress without
which some Of the wearers might, to
, their horror, be mistaken for persons OF
moderate means; and others are so ex'
pensive that persons who are only toll
erably rich cannot attempt them with
out being at once detected in the act OF
aping those who, in their hearts they
believe to be their betters. "Te battle

A Famous Authors Religion.

Mrs. Amelia E. Barr writes to the
editor of The Ladies Home Journal as
follows: IL believe in God my Father
and Preserver. l believe in Jesus
Christ my Redeemer. I believe in the
Holy Ghost my Enlightener and Con-
soler. l believe in the forgiveness of
sins, in resurrection of the body and in
the life everlasting. [ believe in the
Holy Bible, from it's first word to its
last, as the word of God to me. At my
side lies a bible three hundred years
old, filled with the annOtatiOns and
combinations of my ancestors, who not
only read, but thought it worth their
while to fight for the right to do so. [
would do the same today, if occasion
demanded it. l want no revised
Bible. l want no 'woman's' Bible.
The Bible of the martyrs and confess
ors of our faith is sufficient. 1t has
never deceived and never failed me.
1t has been sufficient for life; | doubt
not it will be sufficient for the hour
and article of death.
eff now you ask me about my creed,
l answer, am an Episcopalian; but L
worshiped happily with the Presbyter-
ians for twenty years, and could have
done the same with the MethOdists
Baptlsts, Quakers, etc. etc. My con-
viction sways decidedly to the Inner
Light of Quakerism-the Light greater
even than the Word-'the Tighten that
lighteneth every man that cometh
into the world; but [ find good in
every denomination.
II have gone seldom to church lately,
because l want only an old-fashioned
clergyman, antiquated, sloW-that is,
| want minister who will preach the
Gospel, and not politics, prohibition,
sanitary science, etc. If | could find a
minister with the Gospel lodged in a
large heart, love-fraught, self denying,
making Christ Jesus the luminous cen
tire and the very effuigence of his soul
and teaching, would go to hear him
every day. But | do not respect the
new minister any more than L respect
the new woman. I am so Old-faShiOn-
ed that I cannot comprehend how a
man may dedicate himself to preaching
Christ, assume the title of Reverend as
mark of his calling, and then give at
least six-sevenths of his time to run
ming a milk farm or an intelligence
office or a boarding establishment.
But I recognize the variability of HUI
man creatures, and if others find these
guides sufficient l do not presume to
judge them. For myself, there is the
fatherhood of God, the intercesslon OF
Christ and the omnipotence of prayer.

WE have heard of men so stingy
that they would pinch hole through
copper sooner than part company
with it, but West Superior has got a
fellow that it would be no crime to
hold up. Recently this prince of
penuriousness lost pocket book con-
tanning $500. A laborer found it and
left it at Duluth bank for the owner.
When the owner recovered the cash
he said: THANK you, let's take a
drink" and kicked because the city
contained no free water fountain
This is putting premium on honesty
with a vengence.

THE Decoration Day edition of the
South Dakota Mail is the best Of any
institutional paper we have yet seen.
The entire paper, even inside and out
side of cover being devoted to the ma
tons dead, filled with words of patri-
otism. One half the paper is printed
in blue, the other in black ink and the
effect is very pretty. We congratulate
Supt. Ainsworth, the editor, on his
very able paper, and wish The Mail
unbOunded success.

IN the following calculations, if the
German, who compiled them, and
who could give several cards to
some of our school graduates on the
mysteries of figures, is correct, there is
only one feature that in any way affects
us. We do smoke. We kiss not, Meth
or do we raise our hats to an acquaint-
ance, therefore we do not expend as
much vitality as our unfortunate
brother on the outside who does both.

In the recent interstate debate be-
tween Minnesota and Wisconsin,
Minnesota won the contest. The ques-
ton was: "Resolved, that the United
States Senators should be elected by
direct VOTE" Minnesota taking the
negative and receiving an unanimous
decision in their favor. The debate
was an able and interesting one.

SCHOOL closed for the term last Fri
day night, and was in all respects the
most successful in it's history. THE
MIRROR has endeavored to keep its
readers in touch with the schools prog
ress and the results Of the work &C.
complished during the entire term.
To say that the Deputy and his assist
ants, who have been in attendance at
every session, are grateful for the rest
they can now enjoy, would be putting
it mildly. The teachers and scholars
also are glad to be relieved, although
many of the latter have retained their
books and will continue their studies
during vacation, and prepare them
selves for higher classes, those who un-
fortunately will remain here, at the
commencement of the next term, Oct. 1.
Allunite in saying, however, that the at
tendance has been pleasure, and speak
in the highest terms of the great inter
est and efficient services of Prof. Aylard
who had charge of the school. The ex-
pressions of some of the inmates toward
their fellow inmates and teachers,
who did so much for them; the patient
and kind manner in which they helped
them through their studies, is certainly
refreshing. Although these teachers
worked hard, and without remunera'
ton; giving up the three evenings each
week, that they might have devoted to
personal matters and reading, they
have done service of far greater i'm
portance, than teaching their fellow
man how to read. They have created
friendship and goodwill among men
a priceless thing in prison. Thei!
greatest reward lies in the fact of hav
ing been of benefit to fellow-man; Of
making pleasanter their unpleasant
condition.; in opening the doors o.
knowledge that they might see them
selves better, as they are, more full,
comprehend their duties as men, an(
be better equipped to meet Iife's strug
giles when again in the world. Thes'
teachers deserve the very highest prais
for the zeal and great interest the.
have shown to the members of thei
respective classes, and THE MIRRO1
who has watched the school closely
can from personal knowledge assur
them, that their work meets with tn
highest commentator and apprecia
ton from both officials and scholars.

THE Democratic Editorial Associa-
ton of the state of New York recent
ly held their convention in that city,
and at the reception and banquet
given at the close of the convention,
some of the leading lights of the Dem
ocratic party were present, including
members of the cabinet and the
Governor of the state. The Tdmn1any
Times in commenting upon the general
good time contemplated suggest that
some one might, could, would or
should get up at the close of festivities
and make few dlsjointed and ramb-
