A Gamblers Conversion.

An interesting incident related by
Mr.. Crosskey, a Christian worker in
England, is reported by the Christian
Herald:
/ heard Of young fellow who was in
the habit of betting; he felt that he was
on the way to destruction, but the
gambling passion was too strong within
him to be resisted. He told his Sunday
school teacher that he had given up
many bad habits, but that from this
one he did not feel able to escape.
- Were you always with me-" he said,
II might manage it..
II cannot always be with you," re-
pied the teacher; "but when and where
do you gambler"
''Oh, every day at dinner hour; go
down to the saloon at O'clock" was
the answer.
well, Il will tell you what will do, %
said the teacher. Every day as the
clock strikes 1, I will pray for you"
The young fellow was conquered. He
came after a day or two, and said, IT
shall bet no more. Yesterday wanted
to go to the saloon, and / could not. I
thought what shame 1t was that you
should be praying for me and that I
should be gambling at the saloon, and
I could not do it.
Thus by the patient, loving persist
ence in prayer Of a good man, a sinner
was brought into the gospel fold. ''The
effectual fervent prayer Of a righteous
man availeth much"

It Makes a Difference.

Johnson and Thompson were next
door neighbors. Johnson had a dog
that parked considerable part of
every night. Finally Thompson said
to Johnson: & @-
"Lsook here, Johnson, we have always
been friends, and hope you won't take
offense if I tell you that the barking of
your dog is driving me and my family
mad for want of Sleep"
Dear mew said Johnson. That's
queer. I haven't noticed that Leo ever
barked any to speak Of"
Two or three evenings afterward
Thompson came home leading dog
the doggy string.
''Now, then" said he to Mrs. Thomp-
son, 1--WE will soon have a chance to
sleep. I didn't like to shoot the beast
while he belonged to Johnson, so have
bought him. Nobody can blame us for
killing our own dog. I'll get some
chloroform tomorrow"
A month passed, and Johnson and
Thompson met.
"Well, Thompson,you haven't chloro-
formed the dog yet
NO." said Thompson. ''The truth is
we have become rather fond of the fell
low. He is so lively and playful
''But doesn't his barking at night an

'I haven't noticed it"
"H'mr' said Johnson. ''The brute

NocuLATEp ~ SNAKE POISON

Explanation of the Immunity from Harm
Enjoyed by s'Charmers-
AS a result of recent Investigations,
It would seem that science had at last
anearthed the strange secret of the
snake charmer. For years it has been
! mystery how certain individuals could
handle the most venomous serpents
with impunity, suffering not the slight
est harmful effects, even if bitten re-
peatedly. Some time since it was sug-
gested that this immunity from the
evil effects of the poison might be due
| to the fact that the charmers have fire.
11ently been accidentally bitten by
cobras and karits, and, having sur
gived the first attack, experienced no
svil effect from subsequent bites. Much
attention has been directed in India to
The experiments which have lately been
made with view to determining the
value or this theory, and it has been
clearly shown that when the venom is
introduced into the system in gradually
increasing doses the subject need not
fear the vicious fangs of the reptile.
Cases OF immunity from scorpion stings
are also well known. A gentleman in
India, hearing of Mahometan fakir
who had established reputation for
himself in this respect, determined to
investigate the case and Danish, if pos
sible, all chance of trickery. He there
fore dug up the scorpions himself, and
these formidable creatures he describes
as being from 5 to inches long, with
claws like those of Holsters. These
scorpions the fakir was told to irritate,
but to avoid adopting the course usually
pursued by the fakirs for this purpose,
namely, by pinching the end of the tail.
This is almost a sure way of preventing
the scorpions from singing. By touch
ing them on the part of the body indi-
Gated, each one of them stung him
strongly enough to draw blood, but the
man was apparently none the worse.
There could be no doubt as to the
genuineness of the exhibition, and the
fakir was believed when he said that
he had frequently been the victim of a
scorpions sting.

The result was rain. Duluth, which

But In Montana, where the isOthermal

HELPED SAVE INDIANA.
Author of Political Pamphlet in
the City.

Hon. J. B. Conner, of Indianapolis,
was in the city yesterday a guest OF
D. r. McGinnis at the Commercial
club. Mr.. Conner Is not a stranger in
st. Paul. His business interests make
him a frequent visitor here. He left
last night for Chicago and will reach
home this afternoon in time to partake
of the family dinner In Indianapolis.
Mr.. Conner took a great interest in
politics this year. Just which party
he belongs to makes no difference now
as he wrote a sound money pamphlet
that is generally believed to have
saved his state to the Republicans.
More than half million Of the PAM
phlets were circulated in Indiana alone
and later in the campaign thousands of
them were purchased for circulation in
the manufacturing districts of the East.
Speaking of the effort of the Indian
apolis board Of trade to bring about a
conference of representatives Of other
Western boards of trade on the estab-
lishment Of a currency commission, Mr.
Conner said he thought the effort
would be successful and would result
in call for a convention Of Western
business men to take some action to-
ward memorializing congress in this
direction. TT is certain that some
concerted action of the business in
.terest of the West is necessary to any
successful meeting Of this kind" said
Mr.. Conner, and l am of the opinion
that the West will be given respect
full hearing by congress on this sub
iect"

w. G. Nye sent a check for SIS, as
treasurer of the Minneapolis citizens
committee, to Secretary Pinney, of the
Grand Army citizens committee yes
terday. The check was not quite as
large as was expected by the st. peo-
Minneapolis people felt that amount
would square their Indebtedness in pay
ment for all the goods they had re-
ceived from the st. Paul committee
Mr.. Nye also sent with the check, d
long and caustic note He expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Pinney had gone
out of the way to tell the G b e that
the Minneapolis committee was not
paying it's bills promptly. Mr.. Nye
also admitted that the check he sent
was not the final payment of the debts
Of the Minneapolis committee. By way
of contrast, the st. Paul encampment
committee paid all of it's bills and
closed it's books, except for the COL
lection of this particular Minneapolis
debt within thirty days after the close
of the encampment. The Minneapolis
Pythian committee Ia still raising
money to square its accounts. Mr..
Nye resents the printed statement of
the facts concerning the transaction
between the Minneapolis and ST. Paul
committees. Mr.. Pinney says nothing,
but is glad to get the check as he Is
enabled to close an OLD account ana
make the final entry in his cash book
after charging up $3.50 to the wrong
side Of the profit and loss account
the amount being the claim of the Min
neapolis committee in making the set

satisfied that the offset should not be
allowed, but rather than enter into a
controversy about such a small amount
will accept the check sent by Mr.. Nye
as payment in full and call the deal

lief, and it has been done through
the kindness Of one or two gentlemen
who have furnished the money for

In the hope that we shall receive funds
enough at the beginning of winter to
enable US to do our work in aiding the
worthy poor in way that will accom-
plish the objects which we have in
view. AS it is, our means are SO limited
that we are greatly hampered in our
work. The generous citizens Of ST.
Paul have never yet failed to respond
to our call for aid and our old Relief
society has certainly merited, in all
these years the confidence and good
will of all"

During the last quarter the applications for

as the winter advances.
Our treasury is not only without funds but

great work without willing and generous aid
nor can we do more for our worthy poor
than the money and material given will en-
able us to do. Will you not therefore send
TO US, at once, your subscription for our
work Of relief? 1t is not necessary that the
whole amount of your subscription be paid
