Gently died in Montana, and merely in

lightly esteemed ewenin menial position:
Patrick Ryan began railroad life as a
water carrier to his father. who was a
section foreman on the Fergus Falls

while he became a section man and at
length a section foreman. The next

". while yet young man. he was APP
pointed superintendent OF the Montana
division, with headquarters in Kali spell.
He had neieher education nor influence
to help him alono, all his triumphs be-

It is said that no railroader in the
United States today, has such figures to
his credit at headquarters as RYAN had.
His work was acknowledged by trans
portation officials in all parts of the
country to be the standard ofits class.
His private life was as pure as his Off

The case OF o, H. Johnson against
Henrv Keller was dismissed by the court
this morning. This is an action COM
menced by resident OF Wisconsin on a
mining deal with the senator. The
complain was to the effect that Keller
had sold $4,000 worth OF mining stock
in the Iron Chief Mining company in
1892 to Johnson and one Frank p
Holmes for $500, with guarantee that
if the stock was not sold before GER
tain time he would take it off their hands
at the same price. Not finding sale
for the stock, Johnson and Holmes had
applied to Keller to take it but he had
refused.

Christnas Day.


So dark the night SO long had been
The weary night of Israel's sin
No prophet left to tell ofday,
No star of hope to cheer the way
Where is the King SO long foretold
He who will bring the age of gold?
How long, o Lord-how long ere He
Shall come to set His people tree?
The King HAS come! with Him the day
The cherries night has passed away.
A Sun is He, and in His might
He bathes theNworld in Gospel light.
The King has come! no longer now
Will we before the tyrant bow.
The chains are broken now and He
Leads captives in captivity.
The King has come! He brings us peace,
Our Safety He, Our Righteousness.
His foes before His Sceptre fall,
And He shall reign the Lord of all.
He comes again this Ceristmas day
To be our guest; to take away.
All sin and sadness from the heart,
And all His wondrous joy impart.
My King is He. My heart His throne,
My life, my powers are His alone.
gladly yield them to His sway,
And feast with Him this Christmas day.
