 We, the committee, appointed by the Ladies Aid Society of the Presby terian church to prepare resolutions, commemorative of the death of Mrs. Lonnie Matthews, beg leave to submit the following: That, whereas, death has invad- ed our ranks and the chariot con veyed one of our best beloved members away to the city of the great King, who said to his mour. ming disciples Gin my fathers house are many mansions" leav- ing us with borrowing hearts, be- cause we shall see her face no more on earth.
 Therefore, be it resolved, That in the death of our sister, our Soci- ety has lost one of it's most faith tul members, and the Presbyter- ian church q useful and exemplary member.
 And That hile we bow in hum bic submission to this sad dispen- sation of the Master, who ever chastens in love, and 'doeth all things we'll"
 Though an aching void fills our hearts when we realize that in all our coming meetings We shall see her no more, never again hear her cheery voice, or look into her eyes that always "Through the dews of kindness beamed." Yet we shall ever cherish her memory as a perpetual benediotion, and strive to meet Der in the beautiful city of our God where farewell tears are never shed.
 Fare well sister, thou art
 "Gone in the long procession
 That passes away to the right;
 Gone yea! forever and ever;
 Gone for life's regain of light.
 Out from the shadow of suffering,
 Drifting across the dark main,
 Into the brighter flu ure,
 Out from the gloom of the pain ?
 Be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the records of the society, one sent to the MoNTICELLoNIAS for publication and one sent to the bereaved family of our deceased sister.
 Respectfully submitted.

Farewell to Poverty.

The hard times, often starvation,
that overlook the workmen in our
large cities during the financial panic
of 1898 and the great strike, have evi-
dently taught them a lesson, for they
are leaving the cities in multitudes
and going out to till the fields, raise
live stock and wrest from Nature the
boon Of a sure liyelihoOd-a livelihood
that is combined with good health, a
happy home and contentment.
In no part of the country has this
movement been more marked than in
Northwestern Minnesota where, with
in the past two years, mechanics, la
borers and others have focked into
the country, between st. Paul and
Duluth in great numbers and taken up
land and are already cleaning pros
perity from the tillage of the soil.
The land lying between these great
cities is remarkably fertile and is ca
pable of supporting several hundred
thousand more people than are now in
it. There are at least million acres
of land in this district that are still
available for settlement and can be
obtained at low prices and on very
easy terms.
A finely illustra ted and swell written
pamphlet describing this country will
be mailed Tree to anybody who will
send his name and address to Hope

Som eth1ng He Couldn't Swallow.

Not long since, when several medi-
cal men had met, the conversation ran
to the subject Of the extraordinary
things which a human being might
swallow and still live. The familiar
stories about swallowing silver coins,
sets Of false teeth, and so forth, had
been related, when DR.. Longbow be-
gan to speak.

sealledsin great haste to attend a car
perter in my town, though the mes
sage said that the man was beyond
doubt already dead, for he had, while
holding a large gimlet in his mouth
at his work. suddenly been taken with
a fit Of hiccoughs and swallowed the
gimlet. But when l arrived at the
mans house l found him comfortable.
The gimlet, gentlemen. gave him no
trouble at all to digest
There was silence for a moment.
Presently one of the doctors remarked:
with you for his doctor, Longbow-
the man was lucky that it was only
a gimlet that he undertook to swal-
low"
'What do you mean?"
"Why, if he had tried to swallow one
of your stories, it would have choked
him to DEATH"

Poinsette stopped the faithful night
liner two blocks from the door and went
forward on foot. Poinsette did not care
to clatter ostentatiously to his rooms
at one o'clock in the morning the first
day he inhabited them.
Poinsette found the house without
trouble, and stepped softly to the door.
He put the key his landlady had be-
slowed upon him in the lock, but it
would not turn. The bolt would not
yield to his wooing. Do all he might
and work he ever so wisely, there had
sprung up a misunderstanding between
key and lock which would not be recon
ciled. Poinsette could not get actian
the sullen door still barred him from
his bed.
At last Poinsette gave up in despair.
He might ring the bell and rouse the
house, but he hesitated. 1t was his first
day; the hour needed apology. Poinsette
thought it would be better to walk gen.
tly to hotel and abide for the remain
der of the night. He would solve this
incompatibility Of key and lock the
next afternoon.
Poinsette turned away and started
softly for the street. AS he did so a
policeman stepped from behind a tree
and collared him. The policeman had
been watching Poinsette for five min

Girls Who EcOnOmize,

They were eating afternoon ice cream
and exchanging experiences, and the
girl in red asked the girl in brown il
she ever practiced economy.
Don't mention it!' said the girl in
brown. "Do you see those two gloves?'
and she laid a dainty pair of little
brown kids on the table, palms up.
They're both for one hand" said the
girl in red. How did that happen?"
Easily enough! wear one of those
gloves and carry the other. It all hap

Why didn't you take your glove to a

III, TAKES CAPITAL
To Develop the Iron Mines of Min
~ nesOta.

To Develop the Iron Mines of MIN
nesOta.
A Duluth correspondent of the Min
neapolis Tribune thus epitomizes the
work on the Mesaba range:
The total output of the Mesaba
= 2ge for 1895 is estimated at 100000
:. which is a most wonderful and
Atlfylng growth. In 1892, the first
year when there was any shipment,
but 1916 tons were produced. In 1893,
6l3,62O tons; in 1894, 1,77S, AT. These
figures speak more forcibly than any
comments I can make of the rapid
development of that region, and at the
same time it can be said in justice to
the men who have furnished the
money for this development that they
have aus yet realized only prospective
profits, and by prospective profits I
mean the beginning of a development
which in the future may reward them
for their risk and enterprise. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been expended at the Adams Noun
tain Iron and Lake Superior mines,
and employment given to thousands
of men at the highest wages, given,
too, at period when the entire cOun-
try was depressed and laborers in
many sections were without any en-
ployment whatever. This money has
all been expended in Minnesota, and
not dollar has been paid in dividends
upon the enterprise or a dollar sent
outside OF the state except to meet
the fixed interest charges.
1t is said by those close to headquar-
ters that the Rockefeller interest, for
instance, SO far from deriving profit
from the consolidated mines, of which
they are large owners, have actually
advanced about a million and half
to the mines during the present sea
son.
No one can visit the Mesaba range
without feeling that the capitalists
who have furnished the money to
make this great development have
been public benefactors. 1t is beyond
question that the amount Of produc-
lion will always hold in check the
prices received and that the competi-
ton with other sections of the country
| will never enable them to secure ex-
cessive profits

Terribly TOrmented.

The following conversation is re-
ported to have taken place between a
minister and a widow, both Of Aber-
deem. The widow, who called upon
the minister, seemed desirous Of re-
lieving her mind of something which
oppressed her, ait which the reverend
gentleman, wishing to hurry matters,
exclaimed:
my good woman, you see I can be
of no service to you till you tell mo
what it is that troubles you."
"Weet, sir, I'm thinkin'~ O getting
married again."
''Oh, that is it! Let me see; that is
pretty frequent, surely. How many
husbands have you had?"
':Weel, sir" she replied, in a tone
less Of sorrow than of bitterness, "this
is the fourth. I'm sure there never

THE MAN WHO ATE SINS.
Until Recent Years He Took Part In
Welsh Funerals.


The principality of Wales has within
living memory possessed an official
known as the "sineater." It was the
practice for relative-uSually a
woman-to put on the breast of a de-:
ceased person a quantity of bread an:1'
cheese and beer, and the sin-eater W !:
sent for to consume them and to pro-
nounce the everlasting rest of the de-
parted. 1t was believed that in doing
this he absolutely ate and appropriat ted
to himself the sins symbolized by the
viands, and thereby prevented their
disturbing the repose of the sinner
who had committed them. Such an ar
rangement would obviously leave moth
ing to be desired on the one side, but
how it worked on the other side we
are not told. What was supposed to
be the condition of this spiritual un-
dertaker after the ceremony was con-
cluded? Did his appropriation Of
the. dead mans sins imply a sort Of
moral assimilation of them, answering
to his physical assimilation of the
bread and cheese? The question would
obviously be one of some Importance
to sin-eater in large practice. If the
responsibilities of his profession were
as great as they would appear to have
been on this hypothesis, he would
need to retire from it early and to de-
vote a considerable portion of his
closing years to repentance and good
works. "
Again, it is natural to ask what hap
pened at the decease of a popular or
fashionable" sin-eater. Would any
one among his professional brethren
undertake to eat his sins, even in the
first flush of satisfaction produced by
stepping into his shoes? If so, then
indeed has the epithet of "gallant"
been rightly bestowed upon little
Wales. 1t is as though one doctor
succeeding to anothers practice should
consent to assume the moral RESPONSE
bility for patients in addition to his
| own similar burdens. We yield to none

herolsm of the medical profession. but

THE STUDY OF BACKS.
A Mans Face May Deceive. Hut His
Back Is Said to Tell 1t All.

There is much fascination in study
ing palmistry or phrenology or physi-
ognomy, but we doubt if many per-
sons have ever attempted to study the
backs of men and women. In the Com
n>onwealth of last week Erving Wins
low has an article upon this subject,
which is fanciful if not profound. Most
people will be inclined to doubt the
foundation of such a statement as
this: I'm large assembly one would
hardly go wrong in a majority of
cases, in gathering up a general idea
from the backs Of those before him of
the actual tone of thoughts and words,

perience of the tailor show if not in

times complicated kinds foresh1dowed

for instances to freshen his memory
upon this point. Yet there is much Of
interest in sis article, and a possible
study Of much novelty is suggested by
it. These few words will suffice to

unwillingly play the eavesdropper.
The study of physiognomy has been
so engrossing that bodily expression
receives little attention except from
specialists. AS the face is only ex-
posed, this is natural enough, and,
were mankind simple and pure, its
features and their modulations would
certainly convey the most concen-
trated indications of character and
emotion. When we cover it with a
mask, however, the person, and es-
pecially the back, being forgotten by
