mis- county, ii can do no harm to repeai
1t here for the benefit of the thousands Of
Americans who will read this little book
let.
The story runs this way: II was a the
time of the crucfiXiOn of the Saviour.
Cruel and hard hearted men had nailed
Him to the cross and then Knocked His
sufferings. There seemed TO be no touch
Of pity or mercy in any heart. II was
then that the Robin Red Breasts earned
their badge of honor.
Filled with pity for this innocent suf-
terer for the sin of others. the robins cir
cled about His head and finally. alight-
Ing on the cross. endeavored vainly with
their little beaks to draw the cruel nails
from the Saviour's blood stained palms.
In this futile effort the robins were STAIN
ed with blood and ever since they have
Worn this red stain as badge Of honor.
-rsf--- NEEDLESS MEN.
- The BEAUTIFUL little story about the
ROBIN Red Breasts illustrates how, too
often, eten the breasts of the fields and
the birds of the air have more sympathy
for suffering than a great maRy men.
This is as true today as Il was nearly
two thousand years ago.
Many men are hard hearted-many
more are just thoughtless. They are
careless and indifferent in the presence OF
suffering. even when the sufferers are
near and dear to them.
The average man is wrapped up. body
and soul. in his business ambitions. He
loves his home and wife and his
children, but is too busy in his pursui:
of money-getting to think much about
them. He isn't intentionally hard-leart-
ed. but just needless and unobservant.
He works and drives day after day in
order TO get more money and more COM
forts. and more luxuries for his family.
and in doing so makes .he mistake Of
thinking that he does his whole duty.
He works hard himself. and has false
idea that the women folk at home have
pretty easy time. He doesn't realize how
hard a woman's work is. He doesn't un-
darstand how much more delicate a
woman's constitution is than that Of a
man. When his wife complains OF head
aches and nervous troubles. and is DOWN
hearted and despondent he is incredu-
lous and unsympathetic. and solaces
himself with the idea that she has jusi
got the hypos-

PELAGIC SEALING BILL.
Contains One Provision of Far
Reaching Importance.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lit has
been developed that the bill relating to
pelagic sealing which has just passed
both branches of Congress, and is be-
fore the President, contains provision
of far reaching Importance which has
thus far escaped attention. This places
an absolute prohibition on the further
bringing Of sealskins into the United
States from any source whatever
AS the United States is the largest
market in the world for sealskins, this
complete stoppage Of the trade in this
country will be a severe measure
against the BRITISH and Canadian in
dustries, which take and cure the skins
and then dispose of them largely in the
United States.
The provision is as follows:
Section 9-That the importation into
the United States by any person what
soever of fur sealskins taken In the
waters mentioned in this Act. whether
raw, dressed. dyed or manufactured. is
hereby prohibited, and all such arti-
cles imported after this Act shall take
effect shall not be permitted to be ex-
ported, but shall be seized and de-
stroyed by the proper officers of the
United States.

NEARLY A MILLION IN LOSSES.
Destructive Fire Occurs at Grand
Forks, North Dakota.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. ia special
to the Journal from Grand Forks, N.
d. says:
Fire broke out at 4:3O o'clock this
morning at Nash Bros wholesale groc-
cry store, and by half-hour later had
gone into the hotel Dakota, where
| nearly 130 guests were housed.
The Lady in Black" Company escaped,
as did the other people in the hotel, by
the fire escape. The fire department
rescued a large number, and but for
timely assistance a number Of persons
would have burned. Half the people
in the hotel were pulled out of bed, and
then shown the only way of escape was
by the ladder.
AT $50 the hotel Dakota, Nash's
wholesale grocery and the Grand Forks
Mercantile wholesale grocery were
burned, and all the buildings on both
sides OF Third street for two blocks had
suffered loss. Plate glass was wrecked.
furniture in flats adjoining were strewn
in all parts of the street in an indis-
cr1minate heap.
Nash Bros. carried stock of S150.-
600, covered by about half, and the

at $4,000. All the buildings are
owned by the Security Trust Company
of Nashua, N H., and probably will
not be rebuilt.
The burned districts are in the bus
mess portion of the city, and the blow
to business is a most severe one. The
burned wholesale buildings are valued
at 100000.
w. w. Fegan. wholesale cigars; John
Austin, hair renewer laboratory; Rob-
ert Beram, drugs, and the Peerless
Machine Company occupied stores IN
the hotel, and lost everything.
The loss viii aggregate $45O,000 on
stocks and furniture and 100000 on
buildings totally destroyed, and other
losses will probably reach 100000.
1t is believed that Mr.. and Mrs. A.
c. Howe, who occupied rooms on the
third floor Of the Nash building, per-
ished in the flames. 1t was supposed
that they had been taken to the homes
of friends, but a thorough canvass of
the city fails to discover them.

SEATTLE, Dec. IA letter to the
Associated Press from Skaguay. Alas
ka, dated December 11th, gives the
following additional news brought
from Dawson by Joe Kastner and Geo.
Mclaughlin of Helena, Mont, who left
Dawson November Sd. When they
left Dawson they were accompanied by
Pat Holland Of Butte, Mont, and Will
liam King of Los Angeles, Cal. Each
man had sled and an outfit OF about
140 pounds, which included provisions
and blankets. After travelling lao
miles up the river, Kastner and Nc
Laughlin abandoned their sleds, and
with 100 pounds each on their backs
continued their journey, leaving Hol-
land and King behind-they had de-
termined to stick to their sleds. George
Puth of Flathead, Mont, was overtaken
at Fort Pelly with his feet badly frozen,
but he was being cared for.
Major Walsh will have to remain in
his present quarters until the river is
frozen sufficiently to permit him to con-
tinue his journey. Although the river
was open all the way up, Kastuer be-
lieves that it would have been frozen
solid, as the river was full of anchor
ice.
Between Fort Pelly and Dawson
Kastner saw six boats containing five
men each floating down the river with
the ice. Their position was danger
Gus in the extreme, and it was impossi-
bic to render them any assistance.
Provisions at Dawson were TO be had
only from the recent arrivals who had
come to spare. The prevailing price
was 81 per pound for everything pur-
chasable, from a sack Of flour to pic
or frying pan.
"Wnl there be starvation in Dawst
this winter?" Mr.. Kastner was asked.
THAT is a hard question: he said.
eff people are put upon ratioDs there
viii, N my opinion, be enough food to
tide over the winter, or until supplies
can arrive, and there will be no actual
suffering from want of food
Mr. Kastner went into the Klondike
country to examine the old diggings,
with a view 10 reworking them. He
found the drifts filled with water and
were soon transformed into solid blocks
of ice making re-working at present
impracticable, but he states that fully
one third of the gold is lost by the
methods employed in mining in the
Klondike district He estimates that
the amount of gold that will be taken
out of the district this winter will be
between $1,000, 900 and $1,000 900. Ten
millions could be easily taken out, but
for the scarcity of light. Candles and
coal oil are extremely scarce, and some
miners are trying to work their claims
in complete darkness.

WINTER WEATHER.
Heavy Snowfall Throughout Mis-
souri-Cold in the Northwest.

ST. LOUIS, Dec 1T.-Snow began
falling last night, and it is still COM
ing down. 1t is spread over the ground
almost six inches deep, covering the
tracks of the street-car lines and i'm
peding traffic.
The storm was general throughout
the State, and extended over the entire
southwestern part of the country. The
heavy fall of snow and sleet interfered
with railroad traffic on all lines in
that territory, and in consequence
nearly every train that pulled into the
Union station to-day was behind time.
From Hannibal, in the northeastern
portion of the State, comes the report
that a binding storm is raging there.
The snow is six inches deep and all
trains are very late. The street cars
of that city have not been able to run
and business is at a standstill.
DALLAS (Texas), Dec. 1.-THE first
moisture Texas has had in many weeks
fell last night in the shape of sleet and
snow, brought on by brisk norther.

grees. Reports indicate that the north
er is general over North and North
west Texas.
