n Thought Om Charity.

It's said that charity is a
code of morals to an upright
life, Then it is a boon,
which if we correctly follow,
will lead You and |, dear
reader, TO a realization Of the
fact that though there is a
mote in our brothers. eye,
there may be a beam in our
own. A great many people
are gifted in the practice of
finding a screw loose in some
body else, when nine times
out of ten, we have two
screws loose in US.
This practice leads to the
art Of bug placing" How
often do we sec our nelghbor
do something that fails to
reach our standard Of cor
rectnesS, and instead of
either keeping our bazoo
shut or personally trying to
right the mistake, we sneak
of and put d bug in some one
else's ear about it, greatly
magnifying the deed? OF
course the bug tickles, and
has to be kept moving, until
it has tickled the ears OF
the whole c ON m Il n / { y,

An exchange tells the fol-
lowing;
A lady died, and while the
pallbearers were conveying
her to her last resting place,
by some mishap, they stumb.
led and dropped the corpse.
The conclusion brought the
deceased back to life and she
lived six or seven years and
died again. On the way
to the grave they passed over
the same ground, and when
the pallbearers reached the
identical spot where the
stumble had been made at
the previous funeral, The

a Note FYGEn %rribbter,

Sidney, in many resPeCt"'
is fast becoming a place OF
note. It's almost surprls-
ins to know how rapidly size
is coming to the front.
She can boast of having
one of the best schools III
the country. The enroll
nent has now reached about
one hundred and fifty, in
GLIDING twelve boarders, and
vet there is others that will
enter soon
The people of this com
munity no longer suffer un-
easiness with regard to the
success of this school. They
are all working in harmony
and feel that the present
standard bearers are able
to carry her on to success
and to victory.
She not only boasts OF
having one of the best schools
in the country but she boasts
of sending out one Of the
largest and best equipped
army of teachers Of any
other place in the country,
there being thirteen In
actual service this winter,
and this is a small number
compared with the number
that will 90 out from this
place rext spring, as there
is quite a number in attend
ance now who contemplate
the field neXl
We are proud that so
many of the young people OF
this community are looking
forward to the future with a.
eye. My advice to
you, being one among you
who is striving to reach a
higher plane in this life,
would be to strive on, Set
your ideal standard high
and though your way to
this high plane Of educational
life be rough and riged, rem,
ember that it is a long
from nothing to
manhood. Mans home is
not in the cradle Of ignor-
ance but on the heights where
drives away the fog
and mist, Then do not
become discouraged for,
where there is a will there
is a way" rally those forces
that lie dormant within you.
Eeach mind is dead until the
warmth of great impulses
quicken these dormant ener-
gies,
Education means an awak-
Sleep no longer.
Morning has come, Day is

in justice to that unhappy boy I have

During the conversation Rev. La

Something to Depend On.

James Jones, of the drug firm OF
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking
of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wire was attacked with
lagrippe. and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into Hasty consumption. Hav-
ing DR.. Kings New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she be-
gan to get better from the first dose,
and half dozen dollar bottles cured
her sound and well. DIR. Kings New
Discovery for consumption, coughs and
colds is guaranteed to do this good
work. Try it. Free trial bottle at
Hitchcock & Co.'S drug store. 5

Mr.. Robinson rarely says anything at
the long table, but during the recent
campaign he could not always keep
still. Heis a rabid gold standard man.
He cannot mention Bryan's name with
out frowning, and when he returned
from the lakes after the election he
was SO full of joy that he could not
contain himself. His free silver friends
hid from him when they saw him COM
ing, for they did not want to face the
teasing they knew would come with
him.
Robinson is small man physically.
His hands are small and SO are his
feet. Every line of his face indicates
that wonderful precision and will pow
or that made him great in his profess
sion. Astubby mustache adds to this
impression. He reminds one of a sim
envy deer. He dresses plainly and sell
dom wears any of the splendid jewels
that were given him by many of the
crowned heads of his day and other
admirers. His trophies, which are ex-
ceedingly handsome, are seldom shown
to any one. He cannot bear notoriety.
In short, he is exactly the opposite OF
what the average circus performer
wishes and strives to be. He is pas
sionately fond of fishing. Perhaps the
bobbing of the cork and the gay col
ors of the fishes remind him of some
thing now in the past. Anyway, he is
a successful angler.

many bidders on the collateral assets,
personal property and real estate as
sets, and other articles belonging to
the insolvent Citizens Bank, were
knocked higher than the proverbial
Gilroy's kite by Judge Weber in
chambers at New Ulm on Wednesday
of last week, when Assignee Hunter
and Attorney Bowers presented the
long list of bidders and articles on
which bids had been received to Judge
Weber for his approval or disapprov-
al. Judge Weber appeared to be on
to most of the articles on which bids
had been received, and as a conse-
queuce he had as good an idea of their
true value as did the bidders, and one
or two bidders we're willing to acknow-
ledge that the Court was strictly on
to the game when he turned down the
bids.
One of the bids confirmed was that
of W. r. Caswell for all the furniture,
such as desks, chairs, letter press and
blotter, etc., Mr.. Caswells bid was $19.-
10, about 81 better than individual bids
for the same articles, although two
stools had not been bid on from the
individual standpoint, and hence the
individual bids amounted to about as
much as the collective bid. Another
bid confirmed was that of A. R. Ben
ham for 40 acres of land in Three
Lakes township, or rather the equity
of the bank in the same. Benham al
lowed about $50 per acre for the tract.
One of the confirmed bids for note
was that of the Knopfs for a SIS note,
they obtaining the note for fifty cents.
The Knopfs we're entirely turned
down on their bid for the Turrell farm.
The Judge spoke sharply when he
said that he thought that the bid was no
bid at all-that the farm of $40 acres
was worth great deal more than that,
if it was worth anything at all. He
separated the bid from the others and
ordered the assignee to get more for
the equity in that farm. George w.
Somerville Of Sleepy Eye was there
when all this was going on, and he an
nounced that he would pay $500 more
for the place if he was given an oppor-
tunity to look it over. It was agreed
to postpone the sale, and since that
time there have been four or five call
ers at the farm with the view of buy
ing it. The only thing against the
tract is that there seems to be consid-
cradle of mustard on it, and some of
the buildings have gone to ruin, or
partly so. It is probable that the
farm will bring the estate from $500
to 900 more than was anticipated
by the Knopf bid.
The bids on a few other notes we're
confirmed by the Court. For instance
