PRAYERS BEFORE BATTLE.
Curious InvocatiOns by Famous His.
tOricaI PersOnages Preceding En-.


The menace OF war, just now so violent
brings to mind the devotional side of some
historical belligerents. The pagans were wont
always to make sacrifices to their code before
entering on battle and Christians have i'm
itated them in appealing to the Divine sup
port One of the earliest records in history of
prayer before battle is that of Childric king
OF Gaul pagan, who before going into the
battle of Zuelpich, some 400 years after Christ
prayed to the God Of the Christians to help
him to victory. His foe was Attila king of
the Huns. and Childric vowed If God would
give him the victory he would embrace the
Christian faith says the New York Herald.
King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden in the
thirty-yeaIs war, knelt on the battlefield of
Luetzen 1922 before the beginning of the
conflict. The prayer of the Hungarian officer
before one of the battles fought for the indie.

prayer OF the Fighting Bishop" Leslie be-

1t was an angry crowd Of men and

THE only difference between a receiver
and an assignee Is that one Is appointed by
the court, and the other is appointed by the
party making the assignment and whenever
an assignment is crooked or anything has
been done to cheat or deceive the public, it
IS In the interest Of the party making the
assignment to put in some one who Is his

that party is in duty bound to protect the

I'VE do not say but what Mr.. Aubachek

THE LATEST PLAN.
1t Is to Give the County the Guaran-
ty Loan Law Library.

Tt is asserted that there is q prob
ability that the Northwestern Guar
anty Loan building will transfer its law
library Several attorneys give it out
that the company purposes letting
the legal offices go elsewhere, as the
peculiar construction of the building
adapts 1t for mercantile offices, dem
lists, physicians, etc. AS the lawyers
leave the building there will be little
use for the library, and there is a
probability that it will be presented to
the county Of Hennepin, provided only
that the county takes upon itself the
contract of keeping the library in
shape, and placing it in proper place.
Several attorneys are making efforts
to have plan adopted for using the
fourth floor of the court house and city

Young but successfuI Jockeys.

George Thompson the famous English gen.
tleman rider, claims to be the youngest win
ming jockey. When he was mere child of
nine or ten his father, arranged a match be-
tween the Maid of Shelgate and hack. He
discovered at the last moment, that the hack
was to be ridden by mere boy. Determined
to outwit his opponent, he seated his son upon
the mares back and told him to ride as fast as
ever he could AS his weight was only forty
two pounds. the odds were in his favor, con-
trary to the expectations OF the other side, and
came in first by head. Luke Snowden began
to ride in public at fourteen years of age,
when he won five races. There is no other
instance on record of lad who was only eight
seasons on the turf, and yet was the victor in
two st. Legers, second in two more and a
winner of the Oaks.

there and stated that $4,000 natives stood
READY to accept Christ and enter the Metho-

Pharoah the Oppressor.

The worst blot on his character was
his ruthless destruction of the works
of his predecessors. No doubt. in such
time of distress, it would be difficult
to supply workmen for public monu-
ments; but his utter disregard for
everything that went before him out
does even his orgulous father, and is
painfully in contrast to the careful res
toration made by his artistic grand
father, Seti l. He planted his funeral
temple just behind the magnificent
building of Amenhotep Ill, and pro-
ceeded to smash up every portable stone,
whether statue or tablet, to throw in
for his own foundations, and then
reared his walls with the noble blocI>s
of the great temple, and even stole the
very bricks. Not content with taking
what he wanted, he further defaced
what he could not use; and all over
Egypt the statues of the kings may
be seen with his name rudely cut oN Ell
their inscriptions, or battered with d
hammer on the eXquisitely polished sur
faces of the other monarchs. With
little of scruples, of taste, or of feel.
ing, he was yet not devoid of ability
and energy for a difficult position; and
though we may not rank him with a
Trajan, Belisarius, or an Alfred, YET
it would be hard to deny him the com.

icus. a George the Second, or a Victor

The effect would be to tire them and

especially by the overheating produce

to the wool cause the dropping off Of

AMERICAN PATENT SYSTEM.
IT., first Fifty Years and What HAS beeh
Accomplished.

The American patent system existed
.-,n, the early days of the republic.
nut in those early days few patents were
Granted. and il was not until lS4o that
the American nation began to be noted
for is inventive powers.
IN to the end of the year lS45 only
ga Datents had been issued by the
natent Office Of the United States, When
the year 1895 closed the number vas
ssI go. a wonderful tribute to the IN
yentiye genius of the American people,
because out of this great number COM
,,aratfyely few were issued to foreign
ers. The largeness Of the number Is
n tribute TO the far-sighted liberallty
Of the patent statutes, originally es-
tahliSbed by our forefathers in the days
whom the individual counted for far
more than in the present day OF ferce
competition and wealthy combinations
of capitalists. Even in those days 1t
was recognized that the individual III
ventar required the fostering protection
nj the law and it was known that the
best possible policy for the country was
to grant him this protection for the en-.
richment of others and for the good OF
the country at large"
But. though few patents were granted
in the early days, there is no doubt IT
was the priyations of those days IN
sparsely-settled regions that fostered
and developed the inventive faculty
which has become the birthright OF
the American people. ~ farmer, sep
nrated many miles, perhaps, from the
blacksmith shop, with absolutely no
machine shop within reach, with car
peuters and other tradesmen few and
far between, learned TO do everything
himself. and it was unquestionably III
those early days the farmers of America
displayed a high order of constructive
and mechanical skill and quick adap-
tatioa to circumstances that have now
imprinted themselves upon the entire
American people. To-day the farmer
has complicated machinery to take care
of. and he does it successfully; small
repairs he executes himself, and in HIM

ors are made of.''-Scientitic Ameri-
