THE Minneapolis Journal has the fol-
lowing relative to one of the brightest
and most seliable residents of the Sixth
Con .ressional District:
"Word reaches the capitol from the
Sixth congressional district to the effect
that State Senator w. f. Allen of Clo-
quet, IS being talked OF quite extensively
as candidate for congress in that dis
trict next year. 1t is not understood
that he has consented to run, nor does
any one seem to be authorized to speak
for him; but tl.at he is talked of in that
connection by republicans of influence is
true. Tkis effort to bring out Mr.. Allen
seems to proceed from that element of
the party which does not approve of the
course pursued by Mr.. Towne: As the
story goes. there is a feeling that Mr..
Towne's coarse is unfortunate for the
party, and that he is turning things up
side down there politically; that there
has meyer been time when the party
was more widely at variance on any
question than it appears to he now in
the Sixth district on the money question.
Mr.. Towneis held responsible for having
precipitated this conflict of opinion at
this time. If Mr.. Townc is to have
rival for the nomination next yearf he
could hardly have a more dangerous one
than Senator Allen. Mr.. Allen was a
member of the senate from 1890 to '94,
and was reelected. Last winter he was
conspicuous in the legislature as the
leader of the forces which demanded the
passage of the railroad taxation bill.
He organized those forces and mapped
out the plan Of campaign. To him more
than to any other one man in the legis-
1ature is the passage of that bill due. If
he should consent to stand for the con-
gressional nomination against Mr..
Towne the contest would be most in
teresting one.

GOVERNOR DAVID M. CLoUGH, and the
firm of Clough Bros. of which he is a
member, have been forced to make an
assignment, by reason OF N. z. Clarke,
who was indebted TO Clough Brothers
to the enormous amount OF $4,000.
While it is impossible to give the liabili-
ties and assets at present, yet it is init
mated that time is all that is needed to
enable the firm to pay dollar for dollar.
Sympathy is extended to the governor
in his misfortune, which was beyond the
possibility of prevention by anv exercise
of business foresight.

dence:
! "Verily say unto thee, to-day shalt
thou be with me in Paradise"
/ In front of the cross there were sur
prise and CONSERVATION. The cunning
casuists there put the assumption un-
derlying the question and the admis-
sion underlying the answer together.
For saying through the law that he
was the Messiah, they had brought
the NaZarene to the cross; and, 10! on
the cross. more confidently than ever
he had not only reasserted himself,
but promised enjoyment of his para
disc to malefactor They trembled
! at what they were doing. The pom
| tiff, with all his pride, was afraid.
Where got the man his confidence eX-
cept from truth? And what should
the Truth be but God? \ very little
now would put them all to flight.
The breathing of the Nazarene
grew harder; his sighs became great
gasps. Only three hours upon the
cross, and he was dying!
The intelligence was carried from
man to man, until everyone knew 1t /;
and then everything hushed; the
breeze faltered and died; a sitting va
| por loaded the air heat was super
added to darkness: nor might anyone
unknowing the fact have thought that
off the hill, out under the overhanging
pail, there were three millions of peo-
pie waiting awe-struck what should
happen DeXt-they were SO still!
Then there went out through the
gloom, over the heads of such as We're
on the hill within hearing Of the dy-
ing man, cry of despair, if not re-
proach MY God! my God why
hast thou fOrsaken me-"
The voice startled all who heard it.
One it touched uncontrollably.
The soldiers in cOming'had brought
with them a vessel Of wine and water,
and set it down little way from Ben
Hur. With sponge dipped into the
liquor, and put on the end of a stick,
they could moisten the tongue of a
sufferer at their pleasure. Ben-Hur
thought Of the draught he had had at
the well near Nazereth; an impulse
seized him; catching up the sponge,
he dipped it into the vessel, and start
ed for the cross.
"Let him be-" the people in the
way shonted, angrily. "Let HIM be J"
Without minding them, he ran on,
and put the sponge to. the NaZarene's
lips.
Too late, too late
The face then plainly seen by Ben
Hur, bruised and black with blood and
dust as it was, lighted nevertheless
with sudden glow; the eyes opened
wide, and fixed upon some one visible
to them alone in the far heavens; and
there were content and relief, even
triumph, in the shout the victim gave.
ut is finished 1t is Finished"
So hero, dying in the doing a great
deed, celebrates his success with last
cheer.
The light in the eyes went out;
slowly the crowned head sank upon
the laboring breast. Ben-Hur thought
the struggle over: but the fainting
soul recollected itself, so that he and
those around him caught the other
and last words, spoken in low
voice, as if to one listening close by ::
"Father, into thy hands [ commend

and the mission and the earthly life
were over at once. The heart, with

The Home Life of Children.

1t behooves parents to give the pub
lie school teachers full authority ovel
the children during school hours.
Our public school teachers, as a class
are humane, conslderate and well
qualified for their supreme task. Stand
ing as they do in loco parents, they
cannot suffer undue interference from
the parents whose place they take
Order, discipline, progress in study
and habits of obedience in school de-
pend largely upon the pupils convic
ton of the absoluteness of the authority
in the classroom.
The home life of the child should
emphasize the right lesson it learns
abroad, and correct the wrong ones
Nowhere so easily end naturally can
child be taught correct habits, neat
ness, politeness, respect for age, mod
esty and gentleness as at home. Here
above everywhere else, a child learns tC
speak properly to know the meaning
of words, the use of the voice, the gram
mar and po. .sibililies of the English
tongue.
The voice of child is almost a sure
indication ofitshOme training, and par
enls and all the elders of the home cir
Gle cannot too anXlously strive to set
examples of "living wells Of English
undefield." Every well trained child
is sent to Sunday-schOol, and here
again is danger suggested. The time
has passed when religious habits were
so undertaking and loveless and rigid
as to make their observance L terror
and an exasperation to the wandering
minds and restless limbs of the chill
dren of the household.
But unless healthy, wholesome
piety prevails, and devotional customs
are maintained, the child grows to be-
lieve that religion is for Sunday only,
and the absence of it fitting for the
other days of the week. Parents who
have grown careless or indifferent in
observance with age or multiplying
cares are apt to forget the lasting in
tiuence of early impressions on chill
dren. Until they are fit to walk
alone, it is the right of children to be
guided. Example is the best guide

On Bad Handwriting.

One of the most important things for
boys or girls to learn to do ia to write
plainly, so that those who have to read
what they write are left in no doubt as
to their meaning. Several amusing
stories of the embarrassment which
has followed not learning to write legi-
bly, are told. One Of these is of a Mas
sachusetts clergyman who nearly got
himself into a peck of trouble because
of the bad quality of his handwriting.
1t was more than century ago that
this clergyman had occasion to address
a letter to the General Court of Massa-
chusetts upon some subject of great in
terest at that time. When the letter
was received the Court ordered the
clerk to read it, and were filled with
wrath at what appeared to be these
words in opening: 81 address You
not as magistrates, but as Indian de-
wills"
"What !" they cried. "Read that
over again. How does he address
us 2"
"Not as magistrates, but as Indian
DEVILS" repeated the clerk. "That's
what he says"
The letter was passed around, ana
the judges were by no means pleased
to see that the clerk had apparently
made no mistake. Very angry at
what they believed to be an insult, the
judges passed vote Of censure upon
the clergyman, and wrote to him de-
manding an apology. He came before
them in person, when it turned out
that where the judges had read Indian
devils he had written individuals
which, of course, made apology unnec-
essary but the reverend gentleman
was admonished to improve his hand
writing if he wished to keep out OF
trouble.-Harper's Young People.

Attractions Of Heaven.
(Anonyrn0us.)


No sickness there
No weary wasting of the frame away,
No fearful shrinkin. from the midnight air,
No dread of summers bright and crvid ray
No hidden grief
No wild and cheerlcSs visions oi despair:
No vain petition for q swift relief,
No fearful eye, no broken heart Is there!
Care has no home
Within that realm of ceasleSs praise and sung.
Its sursing hillows toss and melt in foam,
Far from the mansion "i the spirit thr"n=.
The storms black wing
Is never spread athwart celestial skies:
Its waiings blend not with the voice OF spring.
AS some too tender flow ret fades and dies
No night distills
Its chilling ,.ews upon the tender frame:
No morn is needed there-the light which fills
The land of glory from its Maker came
No parted friends
Ger mOurnful recOections have to wccp-
No bed Of desth-endurinc love attends
To watch the coming of pul,cieSS sleep.
No withered flower,
Or blasted bud celestial gardens know;
No scorching blast or fierce descending shower
Scatters destruction like ruthless foe.
No bsttlc-word
Startles the sacred hosts with fear ana uread'
The song of peace creations morning heard
Is sung wherever angel footsteps tread.
Let us depart,
If home like this await the weary soul!
Look up, thou stricken one. Thy wounded heart
Shall bleed no more at Sorrows stern control.
With faith our guide,
White-robed and innocent to tread the way
Why fear to plunge in Jordan's rolling tide,
And find the haven Of eternal day:

a Curious Calculation.

Mr. William Garrett, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch, made recently the
statement that wire nails are now sold
SO cheaply that if a carpenter drops a
nail it is cheaper 20 let it lie than To
stop and pick it up, and it is claimed
that one key out of five is never used
but goes to waste. a statistician, fig
uring this out, and assuming that it
takes a carpenter ten seconds to pick
up nail, and that his time is worth
80 cents an hour, remarks that the
recovery of the nail he has dropped
would cost 0.0S3 cent. The money val
ue of All individual siX-penny nail is
0.O077; that is, it would not pay to
pick up ten nails if it took ten seconds
of time worth 80 cents an hour. Or.
dinary men, who are not very quick,
can, however, pick up nail, on q
moderately clean floor, in five seconds.
Assuming that this is better average
then the ten seconds, and that we are
paying the carpenter only 81 cents an
hour, it will still cost to recover the
nail .0349 cent, which is nearly five
times the value of an individual nail.
There is, therefore, u considerable fac.
tor of safety in the original calculation,
and we are bound to believe that it
will not pay to pick up nails.
Such a calculation brings out clearly
the marvellous reduction in prices due
to inventive genius. The lurking fal-
Iacy is: that while it may not pay to
stoop for each nail, it still may be
worth while for an economical man,
at the end of his work, to stoop once
and sweep up, in single handful, the
nails he has been dropping all day.

A Gentleman.
I knew him for a gentleman

KNEW him for gentleman
By signs that never fall
His coat wns rough and rather worn,
His checks were thin and pale
A lad who had his way to make.
With little time To play
knew him for gentleman
BY certain signs to-day.
He met his teacher on the street:
OFF came his little cap.
My door was shut: he waited there
Until heard his rap.
He tDUk the bundle from mS hand.
Ana when dropped my pen
He sprang To pick it up for me
This gentleman of ten.
He thinks Of you before himself,
He serves you If he can:

The manners MAKE the man.
At ten or forty It's the same.
The manners tell the tale:
And | discern the gentleman
BY signs that never fail.

The workmen put their hands to

only the exclamation, divinest OF all

The cross, reared now above all
other objects, and standing singly out
against the sky, was greeted with a
burst of delight; and all who could
see and read the writing upon the
board over the Nazarene's head made
haste to decipher it. Soon as read,

Until comparatively recent date the bridge
belonged to the heirs and aas!gnecs OF the orig
inal owners. and 1t was believed that even the
Legislature was powerless to compel improve
ments. or TO authorize the erection of another
bridge. 1t was during tho prevalence OF that
opinion that numerous attempts were made by
patriotic citizens to burn the bridge. they know
ing that II II was destroyed modern structure
would take its place. Strangely enough. al
though tho bridge timDer~ were dry AS finder.
and the inCendariea always took advantage OF
windy nights. noEH ft,Ir attempts Was success
full, and II necamc a settled conviction among
the natives that the devil was looking after his
own. In some cases l,.trls OF tho bridge were
burned. but that did NOT accom- plish the object
aimed at. for the owners merely patched II up,
leaving IL, il anything, worse than over.
Several yea: : ago the huIcS nf Hartfnrd's citi-
Zcns and the East Hartford farmers we're raised
hy n deal which turned the title OF the bridge
over ~ five surrounding towns. Then efforts
were made TO get the state to take II and re-
place II with new bridge. The Lrgislature OF
1893 finally passed an act apprCpriating $500
900 for this purpose, but il was alleged that this
result had been achieved only through u trihery
a lobbyist. The scandal became so intense that
the present Legislature abrngated the c3ntract
that had been entered Into. leaving the old
bridgc still in the ascendant.

was the outcome OF the dissatisfaction that re-
suited from tho Legislatures action Now there
will have TO be . new bridge. A.
