usually be attacked in more ways
than one. So can you,-through
your brain, your vanity, and the ap-
petites of your body.
In fortress you cannot choose the
manner in which your enemy shall
attack you. He will seek the weakest
point and the defense must be made
right there. 1t would be a poor de-
fender who massed his troops remote
from the point attacked. So if the
enemies of your character come
tempting you to conceit because you
know more than Others, it is no use
for you to say in defense that you
never eat too much, because conceit
concerning knowledge has nothing
to do with overlooking the stomach
Then again if another time you are
tempted to be greedy, what defense is
it to say that you are not conceited ?
If also some day you are tempted tC
say vulgar words to boys or girls it
is no defense to declare that you
stood at the head of your class; and
so on. could multiply the number
of temptations that assail you from
day to day, all of them different, and
all of them besieging your character
Did we not say something about
the advantage of food and water in
the fortress? The besieged boy toe
can hold out long, if ne have the
body we'll stored with strength, and
the mind filed to Overlooking with
pure thoughts that vanquish impure
ones.
And we must go back to seiges in
order to illustrate a further point to
you. What did we say was the
greatest danger inside a strong for
tress? A traitor. So l want to tel
you that all the enemies that come
against you are not nearly SO dan
gerous as your own will. Your
character has very little chance o.
victory if your will joins with the
temptations, for then you will yield
to naughtiness and find the fortress
of your character taken.

waiting for assault, and the nOlSeieSS
work of the sappers as they endeavor
to get where they can destroy the
walls of the besieged with mines of
gunpowder.
Many of you ought to be able to
remember the facts concerning the
siege at Yorktown; how Washington
and Lafayette carefully made their
plans, threw up earth-works and
with those as a means of protection
commenced to harass the defenders
of the town; and then how by watch
ing for the favorable moment they
moved forward again and threw up
the second line of earth-wOrks not
withstanding the enemy's guns were
) for little time shooting down the
length of the trenches; and finally
how CORVALLIS cut off on the water
side by the French and surrounded
by the land forces, gave up the de-
tense and surrendered over 1000
men as prisoners. In your histories
you can find numbers of other sieges
described, some of them lasting week
after week like that of Sebastopol,
in the Crimean War, which scarcely
ended in a year. Sieges call for great
courage, both on the part of those
shutin with starvation and thirst and
death coming nearer and nearer, and
also on the part of the besiegers who
are sometimes slaughtered in heaps
as they attempt to enter the town
through some breach in the walls.
don't like this idea of an enemy
crawling, creeping, burrowing along
until he is ready to spring up sud
denly and strange power and life out
of you. l expect you do not either
But if the people shut in have plenty
of food and a good supply of water
if their walls are too thick to be
broken by cannon balls, if they can
make sudden rush and break uE
the defenses of the besiegers or i
they can burrow under ground anG
meet the mines of the enemy witt
countermines there is not much tC
fear. Yet there remains one danger
with which even strong forces some
times have to contend; the danger
within from a traitor, who will tel
secrets to the enemy or open th,
gates to them.

of $4,000.

At the court house this morning a
sale Of some of the notes and ac-
counts Of N. P. Clarke and N. p.
Clarke & Co. was conducted by AS
signee Kells under an order OF the
court. The paper was sold in bulk.
and it's face value was somewhat in
excess Of $4,000. Much OF this was
considered practically worthless,
however, one item OF $S,OOV being
worth little, II anything. A. G.

Hon. n. Richardson, at the request
of George Sisler and other represent
tatives III the colony Of Dunkards
who recently settled in township 80.
and 40, range q, in the extreme
southeast portion of Morrison
county. has dra wn up q petition for
the organization Ot the last named
town, and it will be presented to the
board Of county commissioners at
it's next meeting. Mr.. Richardson
completed the petition for organiza-.

Rich Prairie road now completed to
the west end of section Z. township

tn Nick Meyer Of Pierz, who will visit
the colony to get the necessary
signatures to them. .s,,.. \.
At the recent meeting Of the board
Of county commissioners, petitions
were presented by Mr.. Sisler end
Others of the new colony for the
formation of two new school dis
tricts, composed Of portions Of the
two above numed towns and the
board will grant q hearing on them
at the July meeting. .s@
Mr.. Sisler, who was in the lily Sat
urday, with Mr.. Meyer, states that
there are now in those two towns
about 100 families who settled there
in the last year, and that fully as
many more will come in the
spring. o. ~&
1t is said by those who paid a
visit to that section, that the new
settlers have made wonderful i'm
prOvements for the short time that.
has elapsed since the arrival OF the
first members OF the colony. +
Farms are being cleared up, and
the colony has built u large hotel. a
store-building and Il blacksmith
shop at the point where Tibbetts
brook crosses the line between the.
two towns, and this will be the
trading center Of the colony.
Mr.. Sisler says that nearly all the,
settlers are hauling logs this winter
to the saw mills in that vicinity.
There is considerable hardwood
timber in that section and while the
settlers are clearing their farms they
can do a profitable business in hard,
wood lumber. 0
The members of the new colony all
came from Ohio, and are Industrious,
and thrifty people. Theland in that
locslity, though heavily ti.nbered
and difficult to get under cultiva ton,
is very fertile, and there is but little
doubt that In a few years, there will
be one OF the most prosperous com
in the county built up by
these new settlers.

RIVALS OUR NATHAN.
Mankato Has q Policeman 90
Years Oid-Has Been on the
Force Over 20 years.

A special to the Minneapolis
journal from Mankato gives the
history OF a police officer of that city,
who, for a long term office holder, IL
something of a rival Of Hon. N.
Richardson, of this city. The
strange part OF Mr.. kelly's story ia
that, coming from Ireland, he was
about sixty years in this country be-
fore he was put on the police force.
The article Is az follows:
Mankato, Minn., Jan. l2.-Man-
kato has probably the oldest police
man in active service IN the world.
Officer james Kelly Ia over 81 years
of age, and although time mas
whitened his hair and beard, his
muscles are like iron, and the hobo
who is strong enough to escape from
his grasp has never visited the city.
He ia brimtull Of courage, and al
though he has been in many exciting
scrimmages during the course of his
twenty years. service in NankatO.
he has not Il scar, or SO much as a
scratch to show for it.
Mr.. Kelly was born In County
Clare, Ireland, in 1904. and came to
America in 1909, his parents settling
in New York state. He came to
Minnesota in 1865. stopping first
where Lake City now is, and then
going OD to Zumbrota. In 1857 he
came to Mankato, hut after a time
returned east und visited his old
home in Ireland. He returned to
MankatO in 1861. and has resided
here ever since. In 1868 he did service
against the Indians in Minnesota
and South Dakota. He can relate
interesting experiences Of early days
by the hour.
During the twenty odd years that
this faithful official has been on the
local police force, he had never lost a
day through illness. He had charge
of the Younger brothers while they
were In the city on their way from
Madelia to Mortified after their
capture. He has always abstsaned
from the use of int0xicunts. His
wife still lives. and their union has
been blessed with three children, the
youngest being daughter, about
twelve years old.
Officer Kelly has served as county
commissioner and has twice made
the run for sheriff. He is considered
one Of the shrewdest officers on the
southern slope of the state, and
crooks of all kinds hold him in awe
and respect. During his long career
he has seen many notable men of this
country, and few are living today
VINO voted ut the election ut which
he cast his III aiden ballot. He was
one of those who attended the
funeral OF Henry Clay, July 20. 1862.
without a doubt he will serve on
the police force until the close Of the
present century and round out his
own five-sc0re years In the blue
uniform, for under his well-worn
star there beats an honest heart
that still warns his strong frame
with the fire and energy Of youth.
