GET YOUR STAMPS.
The Banks Will Furnish the Revenue
Stickers.

The new revenue law takes effect
tomorrow, and every check drawn,
every telegram sent, every promissory
note, every mortgage and real estate
transfer, etc, must bear stamp.
There was a hustling today among
the business men to get stamps for
their check books and other purposes
The banks put in orders for stamps
some time ago, but these have only
been partially filled where they have
been filled at all. 1t is thought that
there will be a plentiful supply on
hand in a few days, and
no trouble is anticipated tomorrow
except in the matter Of stamps of
large denomination.
The banks will have the stamps on
sale. AS soon as the people get used
to using stamps it will not seem half
so strange as it does now.

DOUBLE LOSS.
Editor MorrisOn's Family Sadly
Afflicted.
Oldest Son Disappears, and One OF the
Twins Dies from the Effects of
Drinking Gasoline.

The family of A. M. Morrison, the
editor of the Mankato Journal, is
sadly afflicted. The oldest son, Gar
field, left home without notice Tues
day night, and last evening one of the
twins got hold of bottle of gasoline
accidentally and took a, drink, from
the effects of which it died shortly
afterwards.
The twins were a boy and girl,
two years old, and very bright and
promising children. A bottle OF gaso-
line, that had been used for cleaning
purposes, had been left upon a table.
At about $50 o'clock yesterday after
noon, while noEone else was in the
room, the little boy, Lawrence,
clambered up and got hold Of the bot
tie, and, childlike, had to taste its
contents. The little fellow was dis
covered soon afterwards, but although
medical help was summoned, it was
impossible to save his life, and he
died at seven o'clock.
Garfield, the oldest son, has had a
desire to enlist in the service of Uncle
Sam ever since the war broke out. 1t
was with difficulty that he was re-
strained from going on the first call,
and lately the desire has been upon
him greater than ever. He attended
to his work at the printing office
Tuesday night, but did not go home.
Yesterday morning, when it was ascer-
tanned that he had not been home
during the night, Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
rison at once realized what had hap
pened, and were morally certain that
the young man had left home to en-
list. He is but seventeen years of age,
and Mr.. Morrison is in hopes that he
will conclude to return home. He
has been great help to his father in
the publishing Of his paper. He left
letter saying that his going was not
due to any trouble.
Mrs. Morrison is completely pros

trated by the sad occurrences that
have happened in her family during
the last two days. While the dead
cannot be recalled to life, it is hoped
that Garfield will return to help ease
the anguish of his mothers heart.
Every effort has been made to reach
him, but as it is not certain where he
went it is feared that these may fail.
On this account, the funeral has been
delayed until two o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrison will have the
sympathy of all in their trouble.

DISFIGuRED

Our little girls humor commenced with a
tiny sore on one nostril, but it kept on spread
ing till we thought she would never get it
cured. We tried everything we could get,
but it kept getting larger all the time, till
both Rostrils, the upper lip, a part Of the loacer
lip, and up one side to the eye, acre solid sore.
We thought there was no cure, and that she
would be disfgured for life. Finally we tried
CUTICURA REMEDIES. We used CUTIcURA
REsoLvENT and nearly a box of CUTIGURA
(ointment), and in short time she was en-
tirely well, with no scar or trace of the humor.

and in substance said,
The 1l9 Psalm, the longest chapter
in the Bible, is about the Bible. The
Bible gathers all nations and in
structs them. The Bible is subject
to opposition and rejection by the
human heart. The natural heart
averse to the Bible. Bible rejected
because it is hard to be understood.
1t is rejected because of the things
most clearly understood, e. G. faith,
love, repentance, holiness in life.
It's moral eXactness is Objectionable.
The Bible must mirror the mind,of
it's author. We must not take the
position that because of our high
civilization we do not need the Bible.
Human progress demands freedom to
act and also faith in God. Freedom
and faith must be joined to obtain
the highest advance. The reign of
Terror in France was a result of civil
ization without Christianity.
1t is said that the advance of
science is an objection to the Bible.
Science and philosophy know power
of sin, but knows no Saviour. The
Bible reveals Man who can speak
the language of sorrow. Its truths
build up moral character. The pre-
sent war with Spain is war for the
Bible, for an open Bible for Roman
Catholic Spain. The Bible and the
American flag usually 60 together,
The Bible has come into the world to
stay as long as there is human soul.
God understands best His own Word.
We must bring hard study to the
Bible and let it correct our lives.
We will not give up the Bible.
Rev. Jno. Sinclair, of St. Paul, de-
livered an address on The G. E. in the
Harness, and in substance said: @.
E. is the harness in which the young
Of the church do the work of the
church. The speaker asserted that
in the S. S. the child takes in, and in
the G. E. he gives out The Bible,
through the G. e. brings three mil
lion young people each day to it's
pages, one-half of whom, at least,
! would not look into the Bible but for
this agency.
The Endeavorer should have his
affections harnessed. The quiet hour
is great help to the spiritual life.
We need to have the intellect har.
messed. The g. E. literature is very
stimulating to the mental and moral
| fibre. The speaker spoke of moral
Law in the Spiritual World" by
i Drummond. How many G. E.'s cad
write twominute essay on repent
ance, justification, faith? The 9. E
must have the will in harness. In.
cidents illustrating the power of the
will were graphically related by the
speaker. If all the 9. E. were throw
ing the will into their Christian work,
neither man nor fallen angel could
turn them aside from the accom-
plishment of their purpose. The
reins must be put into the hands OF
the Lord Jesus and then the work
will be done.
