once to make his word good.
Come, Freddy, bcg," he said cajoling-
ly. "Shall papa cut Freddy's hairf Yes,
papa shall.
Juniper clicked his shears as he spoke
and Freddy shook his tangled head defiant,

'Papa's boy mustn't be naughty said
Juniper, chasing after the fleeing boy,
catching him and plunking him down hard
into chair. Mrs Juniper was not in the
room; she was hidden behind half open
door, watching proceedings, and this is
what she heard:

To Change c current For Cl1mate's sake.
 A Tokyo journal is responsible for the following: "Vladivostok, being the terminus of the Siberian railway, is a most important port in Russia. Not withstanding this fact over four months during the cold season the port is blocked with ice and spring traffic is entirely impossible, and therefore the railway loses much of it's advantages. The Russian authorities have endeavor- ed for many years to conquer nature, and some years ago ice breaking ships were introduced to break open the ice, but it has been found that the operation is useless.
 "A certain engineer has hit upon the rather wonderful idea of retaining the narrowest part of the Tartar strait, be- tween Saghalien and the Russian main land. He is of opinion, if this is done, the cold current that enters the Japa- nese sea from the arctic via Boring strait will be checked and the passage of the warmer tide, coming from the south through the Suyshima strait, will make the water on the coasts of Japan as well as at Vladivostok warm er, and the latter will be warmer all the year around. This scheme was pre- sented to the Russian government for approval, and it is now engaged in its investigations. There is probability of this piece of smart engineering being entered upon after the completion o1 the Siberian railway. Portland Ore pOnian

The grandfather of Ethan Allen Hitchcock, the new minister to Russia, was Judge Samuel Hitchcock, one of the most eminent citizens of Burling- ton, Vt. He was the first attorney gen. eral of that state, holding office from 1790 to l793, and presidential elector in 1792, when Washington received his second election. In the same year he was appointed judge of the United States district court, becoming later judge of the circuit court of the second circuit of the United States, receiving the appointment from John Adams.

State Names.

When Lincoln's turn comes to have Q new state named after him, by all means let our scholars insist upon Lin colnia. If the bad linguistic taste which dictated the naming of the state of Washington had prevailed among our forbears, we should now have Virgin, George and North and South Caro- line instead of Virginia, Georgia and two Carolinas. .-St. Panl Pioneer Press

Only Man Has n Noae.

Man is the only animal that has a real nose or chin. Horses have faces that are all nose; swine have shouts and elephants trunks; lions have vast smelling organs, but none of them any thing that can be separated from their faces and called nose. It is even more true of the chin, which is practically human.

 age which defies all inventory of valu- ables-a soul with capacity to choose or reject, to rejoice or to suffer, to love or to hate. Plato says it is immortal. Sen- eca says it is immortal. Confucius says it is immortal. An old book among the family relics, book with leathern cover almost worn out and pages almost obliterated by oft perusal, joins the oth- ST books in saying am immortal. I have 80 years for lifetime, 60 years yet to live. I may not live an hour, but then I must lay out my plans intelli- gently and for long life. Sixty years added to the 90 have already lived that will bring me to 80. I must re- member that these 80 years are only a brief preface to the five hundred thou sand millions of quintillions of years which will be my chief residence and existence. Now, understand my oppor tunities and my responsibilities If there Is any being in the universe all wise and all beneficent who can help man in such junoture, want him.
 The old book found among the family relics tells me there is God and that for the sake of his son, one Jesus, he will give help to man. To him ap- peal. God help mel Here have 60 years yet to do for myself and to do for others I must develop this body by all industries, by all gymnastics, by all sunshine, by all fresh air, by all good habits. And this soul must have swept and garnished and illumined and glo- rified by all that can do for it and all that can get God to do for it. It shall be Luxembourg of fine pictures. It shall be an orchestra of grand har- monies. It shall be palace for God and righteousness to reign in. wonder how many kind words can utter in the next so years7 will try. wonder how many good deeds can do in the next 60 yearsr I will try.

AS THE SUN WENT DOWN.

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield At night when the sun went down. One held lock of thin gray hair, And one held lock of brown. One thought of his sweetheart back at home, Happy and young and gay, And one of his mother left alone, Feeble and old and gray. Each in the thought that a woman cared Murmured a prayer to God, Lifting his gaze to the blue above, There on the battle sod. Each in the joy of woman's love Smiled through the pain of death, Murmured the sound of woman's name, Though with his parting breath. Pale grew the dying lips of each. Then, as the sun went down, One kissed lock of thin gray hair, And one kissed lock of brown.

Mark you, this is the failure of those who have had large accumulation.
 And then you must take into oonsid- eration that the vast majority of those who make the dominant idea of life money getting fall far short of afluenoe. It ia estimated that only about two out o6 hundred business men have any thing worthy the name of success.

All this matter resolves itself back
into a question Of historical evidence.
which Mr.. Reagan fully presents. That
evidence is that 3Ir. Davis did send the
commission to It's work in good faith;
that that commission did not receive an
official offer from Mr.. Lincoln TO
pay for the slaves; that the report OF
that commission IS conclusive evidence
ca that point, and hence Mr.. Davis he'd
no opportunity either to ACCEPT or de-
cline such = proposition. Mr. Reagan
goes on to prove by official and doom

other side through Mr. Lincoln, made
TO such Official declaration. Hence, he
dismisses the whole subject as unwor-
