SEVEN SWEET GIRLS.
They Graduate from the h1gn
School Tomorrow.

There will be seven sweet girl gra-
duates thrown out on the cruel, cold
world at graduation exercises OF the
Redwood Falls high school to be held
at the Methodist church tomorrow
evening. Not a single boy OF the
early class remained with the sweet
girls to wear wreath or garland OF
victory. The names of the young
ladies are:
Laura Baker, May Ferris
Daisy Clayson, Birdie O'Hara'
Ruth Cornish, Clara Wilson,
Lucy Woodward.
Baccalaureate services we're held at
the NJ. E. church last Sunday evening,
Rev. L. L. Hanscom preaching the
sermon with Rev. John Sinclair offer
ing prayer. Class day exercises will
be held at the same church, commenc-
ing at 2:3O this afternoon. The pub
lie are invited to class day exercises
as we'll as the graduation exercises to-
morrow evening.
Rev. Hanscom's sermon was based
on text taken from Timothy: IL
have fought good fight" He in
formed the graduates that their edu-
cation would not be completed when
they received their diplomas. The
experience of the world would be the
complete education. He said that
our most bitter enemy was ourselves
and that pupils could not expect to
conquer in the world until they had
conquered themselves-the last lesson
learned thoroughly.
The minister admonished the pupils
to have the courage to carry on this
battle. He spoke of the early class
with it's large membership, gradually
simmering down as the years went by
until only these seven girls remained
only seven out of a large army have
come out victorious. The balance are
at Mt. Gilead.
Mr.. Hanscom told the pupils that
they had a right to feel proud. He
said that the community felt proud of
them and as fortunate as they might
feel over enjoying these higher educa-
ton privileges the community was
more than glad that it had them to
offer. "The public honors you for
the days, weeks and years of toll that
YOU have done," he said. He eau
toned them to glorify their future
place, no matter what the station
might be, with consecrated life.
"VVhere duty and inclination are rivals
the latter should give way to the
former"
In concluding Mr.. Hanscom said
that every one was sorry that the
"girls of '95' were obliged to share
the honors of graduation without any
Young men at their side. "We hope
your future state will be different" " he
said, and a ripple of laughter went
over the audience. He hoped that
when their life's battle was ended
they could look up and say ~ have
fought a good fight"
The class motto is "Portu Exiens.'

CARRIED HIS LUNCH.
A Snake That Made a Meal of Hts Own
Caudal Appendage.

Talking about snakes" said the
man who had worked as a telegraph
lineman in South America, you ought
TO see the sarpints they have down
there Me and my partner ran across
snake one day; we was working on
the line and we thought at first that it
was log. 1t had just eaten some big
critter, for there was a lump in it's
body, and 1t didn't show any more In
terest in US than if we were sticks. We
got big crate that had come to the
village near us, full of dishes. and
took it and a bottle of chloroform
down to his snakelets.
1--WE knocked him out with the
chloroform, and after "A good deal of
work got him coiled up In the crate.
Then we carried the crate on a wagon
to the station with us and took him
into camp on the train. He walked up
next day, but the cuss wouldn't eat. He
just laid there and sorrowed, and nary
bite would he even take out Of q
lamb we gave him. In about two
weeks he began to look thin, but he
still kicked on eating, so we put him
and his crate in an clubhouse and left
him for two weeks more. When we
went to look at him again he had
changed position and was now coiled
around in such a way that he could get
his tail in his mouth, and he had about
a foot of 1t swallowed, just TO keep his
stomach braced, l suppose.
I'VE moved just after this, and we
took Nero, as we called him, with us,
carrying the crate with us in freight
car. The car was an old one, so we
were allowed to run it OFF on a siding
at the station that we made our head
quarters, and here we left him while
we travelled inland to run a line. 1t
was a month before we got back, and
we both made break for the car, but
gosh darn me, would you believe me,
there wasn't more than foot of that
snake left. He had swallowed and di-
gested about nine feet Of himself. and
he took off six inches more before he
died"

Ths Moon IL Dsvoured by the Immortah
Once q Month.

Certain IL Is that a belief in the moon
As the abode of the fathers was widely
spread among the people speaking the
Aryan language, says the Quarterly
Review. To the present day the peas
ants in Swabia are heard to say: MAY
go TO the moon if did it," instead Of
May def did it," nay, people who
work on the Sabbath day are threat
ened even now that they will go to the
moon; that is, that they will die and
be punished by tho moon.
A more startling idea-peculiar, it
would seem, to lndia-was that of the
moon serving as the food of the gods.
And yet, though 1t sounds strange to
us, 1T was not so very unnatural an
idea after all. The gods, though in.
visible, had been located in the sky.
In tho same sky the golden moon,
often compared to a round OF golden
butter, was seen regularly to decrease.
And II 1t was being consumed by any
body. by whom could it be consumed il
not by the gods? Hence the ready
conclusion that II was so, and that it
was, in fact, this food which secured
10 the gods their immortal life,
II so much had once been granted,
then came the question, how the moon
was gradually increased and restored
TO its fullness? And here the old
superstition came In that the s,.uls OF
the departed entered the moon, SO
that the waxing of the moon might
readily be accounted for by this more
ancient article of faith. Hence the
systematized belief that the moon
wanes while it is being eaten by the
gods, and that it wakes while it is be-
ing filed by the departed souls enter
ing it. A last conclusion was that the
gods when feeding on the moon were
really feeding on the souls of the de-
t,arfad

HYENAS OF THE DANUBE.

PIundsring the Many Dead Bodies That
Float Down the River.
A painful sensation has been created
here, says Vienna correspondent Of
the London Telegraph, by an article In
one Of theVienna daily papers, en- titled
THE Hyenas of the Danube" in which
a grewsomely realistic description is
given Of the annual appearance of hun
dreds of corpses floating down the river
between Vienna and Hungary, which
are regularly plundered by the people
on the banks, and then cynically
thrown back into the swift current of
the stream. never to be heard of again.
The writer considers this horrible
state of things mainly in judicial
light, and complains OF the serious
losses thus inflicted upon the living In
consequence of the absence Of all clew
to the fate of their unfortunate rela-
tives. "Year after year." he adirms,
hundreds Of lifeless bodies-the NOR
tai remains of suicides, victims of

up on the land on one bank or the 9TH
err. Here they are discovered by the
'hyenas,' who rife the corpses, and
then, as a rule. kick them back on the
waves, after which no human being
worries about them more. Thousands
of people vanish from the scene in this
manner, no one ever learning what
fate befell them. Blood-curdling
crimes remain undiscovered, and the
uncertainty whether a man is dead or
will return again TO his family and
friends is often fraught with heavy
losses To the latter. No mound marks
the spot where these unfortunate peo-
pie rest; they are struck out of the
roll-call of humanity; no trace reveals
the course OF their last long journey;
they have simply vanished from the
world like the lost wanderer of the
desert who is buried beneath enormous
sand waves, or like the famished trav-
eler in the wilderness whose body be-
comes the food of birds OF prey, And
yet we are living in Europe"

Joseph Thompson was one day borne
from the scene of western saloon
brawl, wounded and unconscious, to a
hospital. 1t happened to be an Epis-
copal institution to which he was car
ried, and II was more like home than
a hospital.
He had long and hard tussle and
wrestle for life, but he came out of it
at last, subdued, refined as by fire,
changed altogether for the better. His
native intelligence assumed stronger
sway than it had ever gained before
and his heart turned to better things:
TO home, and Julie, and religion. Dur
ing his long convalescence he had the
almost continual companionship of the
young rector who had charge of the
hospital chapel. Joe fitted himself,
easily, for confirmation in the church
He had learned its catechism, creed,
htany and general services when boy
for jules sake; he studied for orders,
was ordained as a minister and was
given charge of a western parish.
The time came when he longed to
preach in the chapel at Perley, and it
was on the Easter Sunday morning of
1898 that he did so. He arrived unan-
nounced at Perley the evening before
John Micou had kept his promise
with Julie, as he always did with all

carte blanche to prepare for the Easter
service the chapel that had grown to

bonnet that John had set his heart
upon her having, though it was not

old rector, who was growing feeble. 1t
had been the request of Rev. Joseph
Thompson that his name should not be
announced until after the morning
services. The vestry appreciated his
wishes. This was his native town.
To Julie there was no need that the
name should be given, even though the
ministers hair was as white as his sur
plice, and twenty-five years had passed
since she had seen that face. She
knew that her big brother John would
never again rally her about her long
lost sweetheart He had arisen.

SxxHSs sSSN~

The light of the world comes from
tomb. 1t is not Golgotha that inspires
the Christian, for tens Of thousands
have died upon a cross; but IL Is the
sepulcher of the Arimathean about
which center the faith and the hope of
all believers. The ages had CROPPED In
darkness until the coming Of the Christ.
True, Job had declared with sublime
positiveness: "Iknow that my Redeem
er hveth," yet he also put forth the
anguished inquiry: IF a man die shall
he live againP" There is nothing IN all
the Hebrew theology that gives sssur-
ance of future life. Here there is a
hint and there a faint suggestion Ia
the Old Testament, but there is not one
absolute promise in all its pSges. The
Sadducees of Christ's day We're philoso-
piers and scholars, yet they utterly de-
MED the doctrine of resurrection. Men
found the terror of death burden
they could not cast off. Christ came and
in His death and resurrection from the
dead brought life and immortality to
light. The Chinese have a Confucius,
the Hindoos Buddha and the Moham-
medans a prophet, each of them q
great teacher and a good man; but
they left the dogma of immortality
where they found it-a gloomy, uncer-
tain, unsatisfactory and ill-defned
something that might or might not be.
They were men who lived, suffered,
died and disappeared without trace,
as countless millions of other mortals
have done The Nazarene so lived, so
suffered and so died. Divinity stamped
His words and His works. but human
ity was in His agony and bloody sweat,
and in His giving up of the ghost. As
man that had been, His body was
laid away in the tomb and His disciples
mourned as for a man that was not.
The announcement: "He is not here;
He is risen," was the Divine thrill that
was destined to quicken all the dead
into life and put a new song into the
mouth Of humanity. Bless God for the
glad tidings, the confirmation of
Christs words to Martha: 81 am the
resurrection and the life. Whosoever
liveth and believeth in Me shall never
die Light comes out of the shadows Of
death, and the face that is wet with
tears at a uew-made grave may look
upward to the Christ-star of promise :
and say with Paul: 20 grave, where is
thy victory?'
o, springtiIne Of resurrection OF
nature, when the trees put on energy
and the ground is instinct with new
life; when flowers spring up as by
magic and send fragrance out every
where, how fitting that Easter day,
Christ-resurrection day, should be com
memorated in the midst of vernal
beauty. How meet that the bells shall
ring glad notes and that the service of
the churches shall partake of the uni
verSal gladness of nature. Christ is
risen from the dead and become the
first fruits Of them that sleep. Hail,
Easter day, harbinger Of mans final
triumph over death, when they that
sleep in Him shall be raised and Join
their deafness Lord.

A Great MAtchmakar.

The first Napoleon was the greatest
matchmaker that ever lived. After re-
peated refusals the doughty little sol
der himself finally won the hand OF
Josephine, and devoted his matri-
monial instincts to the affairs OF
others, No excuse was admitted from
a bachelor. Two officers who pleaded
that they might be killed in battle he
answered.; The more reason for
haste" TO those who urged that they
could not find a wife: BE that my
care" he said, and the same evening
the affair would be arranged. The
poor received dowries and trousseaux.
oAe day by decree the emperor married
of six thousand soldiers at once.
Another day his great court dienitaries
were obliged en- rnasse to marry.
