God Of our fathers, known Of old
Lord of our far-hung battlc-linc-
Beneath Whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, =.
Lest VIC lorSct-lest we forget
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart :
Still stands Thine ancient Sacrifice,
An humble and a Contrite heart. ~
Lord God OF Hosts, be with us yet.
Lest we for9ct-lest we forget!
Far-called our navies melt away
On dune and headland sinks the fire,
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Ninevah and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
If drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in
awe,
Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the Law,
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
For heather heart that puts her trust
In rocking tubs ald iron shard,
All valicut dust that builds OF dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard,
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy OH Thy people, Lord
Amen.

An Excess of 100000 Over Last Years Ship

From the Helena Independent
 The sheep arriving in St. Paul are, in large proportion, en route for other markets. They remain here from bs- tween sixty and ninety days. The men engaged in the business here of feeding sheep buy the stock in Montana They lease the barns for the shelter of the stock yards company. The provender is purchased by the owners themselves from-the mills of Minneapolis and Du- luth, and the hay comes from the coun- try tributary to St. Paul. As a rule, the sheep come in good condition. The Montana grasses are rich and nutritious, and the appearance of the animals indl- cates a thrifty and healthy condition. Of course, when they arrive they go upon an entirely different diet from that to which they have been accustomed from their infancy. There is danger, at first, of gorging. They are gaunt when they come in, so far as outward appear ances go, though healthy and of who'll some flesh. Occasionally the sheep are delicate In their tastes for the altered

THE FIRST CHAPTER
 COMEDY OF ERRORS City Engineer KendFiCk on Trial For
 IneOmpOtency and Partiality. AS PLUMBING INSPECTOR Police and Sanitation Committee, With Alderman PearCO in the Chair, AND CITY ATTORNEY LOWE ON HAND To Defend Kendrick Against All COmers-R. W. Gayle, a Plumber, Furnishes Food For
 Amusement-HeIped to Do Someof
 theCheating in Doing Work
AND CITY ATTORNEY LOWE ON HAND

The first act in the investigation of the charges preferred against City Engineer Kendrick by the Master Plumbers as sociation was a comedy.
 A member of the plumbing fraternity made the startling announcement that every plumber in the city did work with out taking out permits. There were other announcements equally as start ling and the trial was an enjoyable one from the standpoint of the spectators
 For two hours and a half last night witnesses brought up by the Plumbers association were examined by City At torney Lowe for Mr Kendrick and MT. Tanner of Denson & Tanner for the plumbers.
 It was seen that the evidence would occupy several more hours and the trial was adjourned until 7:30 o'clock Monday night
 Every member of the street committee, composed of Aldermen Pearce, Gray, Lynagh, Mcknight, Meighan and Mo Caruin were present. Alderman Pearce occupied the chair and held the gavel.
 City Engineer Kendrick now claims the victory and was apparently in splen-

done the plumbing. He could find no fault exc .pt that I had put in one and onelilalf inch pipe from the dish pot. Hs objected to this and wouldn't pass on the work"
 Mr. Gayle in a Comedy Role
 City. Attorney Lowe then took the witness. He began at once on the in- stancs just cited by Gayle.
 Mir Lowe held a copy of the plumb ing rules and regulations adopted by the council in 1896. He read rule 19. which says that all grease taps shall have Sx12 tap with 11z-lneh inlet. with Pinch outlet.
 Are you familiar with plumbing rules?" said Mir Lowe.
 "Yes." replied the witness.
 Did your work comply with this ruler"
 "That is not a rule. Grease taps were dons away with long ago. Mir. McCar- tim was instrumental in having this done."
 MT. McGartln at once arose and said that it had been optional with the prop erty owners whether they would have grease traps or not.
 MT Gayle thell said the work did not comply with rule 19.
 DO you think mlan who will comply with the rules Is an incompetent in- spector?" asked the city attorney.
 Gayle still maintained that it was not "a rule.
 MT. Lowe asked the witness If his re- lations with MT. Kendrick were friendly.
 '1 have nothing against him only as a plumbing inspector" answered Gayle.
 After a few more questions the wit ness admitted that he did not like Ken drick.
 The city attorney again brought up the Pool case, which. had been cited while MT. Tanner wals examining the witness.
 When asked the depth the drain pipe was laid in this case ha said IS or 20 inches He admitted that the rule said 1t must be 24 inches.
 Mir. Lowe asked him directly if he had compiled with the law in this in- stance.
 NO, butt I think did a batter job than rrlalny others"
 The Morson case was again brought up. MT. Lowe asked him if the pipe which he claimed did not have the right drainage had clogged up
 "I would say the pipe had cloggsd up, although I do not know it," he replied.
 "Is this the spirit of your testimony?" asked the city attorney. "1f it has per- formed its function for Hhree years it ought to be a pretty good drain, oughtnt it?"
 Tt would be a prstty good drain. but
