"Three Years Old Today"

Wee Daisy went tripping, went tripping,
Her feet keeping time all the way
To this, the glad song she was singing,
~ am just three years old today"
Then the brides sang her ditty,
While the sunbeams made her crown.
The wind gave her kisses-soft kisses
And the pretty blue sky smiled down.
81 have had so many nice presents!"
Sighed tired little Daisy in white.
Theu she peeped from her chamber window
And said: "Thank you. kind worldl Good

"That is a matter / cannot talk ia

Burton, who seemed to have recovered

Hendricks grinned and bristled.

"Allen killed Jacob Benton ten days

"Of course I shall offer no opposi-

Allen was injured till today. He sent
me a message to come out to East
orange TO see him. He showed me his
wound and stated that he had acciden-
tally shot himself and that it was to
his interest financially to keep the fact
from the Benton heirs. He WAS very
weak and assured me he would explain
it all satisfactorily when he was stron-
ger. He said if the Bentons thought his
life was in danger they would not agree
to sign certain papers. In other words,
they would only be willing to give him
his rights if they were sure he would

asked Hendricks.

Sister to the Pennsylvania Is Due in
New York Tomorrow.
The new steamship Pretoria, of the Ham
burg American line, is expected to arrive in
New York tomorrow.
The Pretoria is the browning triumph of
the extensive ship-buildng establishment of
Blohm & Voss, at Hamburg, Germany, and
adds another success to the many already
achieved by years. She has length over
A. and a displacement of 80 500 tons No
steamship in the world has a greater carry
Ing capacity. The Pretoria measured as
buildings are, is seven stories high, and
above her seven docks, and 70 feet above the
surface of the water is the captains bridge
The Pretoria has capacity for 200 900 tons
of freight, an amount which it would take
twenty-five railroad trains of twenty-five
cars each to transport by rail. To facilitate
the handling Of this cargo she is equipped
with fourteen steam Winches of the most
powerful type, twenty-eight heavy derricks
ana eight steam cranes, or booms, as they
are called in ship parlance. With these mod
ern appliances these tons of freight are
picked UP from the wharf as if they were
but so many pounds, and swung upon the
proper place through some one of the nine
wide hatches
She has accommodations for 32S cabin pas
sengers, and comfortable and roomy quarters
for large number of travellers by Storage,
as well as for the large crew necessary for
hendling her.

There are men innumerable who have
been worn out by the cares and strains
of life, who are less energetic and &C
tive than formerly; who feel a lack Of
ambition when they should be ener
getic, and who do not know the cause
There Is but one cause for all these
troubles, and that is, kidney or liver
disease.
There are many women who are I'M
accountably pale, sallow, sickly, who
lack appetite and are virtually bur-
den to their friends, and yet who do
not realize the occasion of such trou-
bles. 1t all arises from female diff
culties caused by imperfect kidneys. To
all such the outspoken words above
quoted should come as a blessing.
When such well known and noble
men as the above speak in such frank
and manly terms as they do of a rem
edy, they thoroughly know there can
not be the slightest question as to its
great merits and its power to benefit
mankind.

the Rt. Rev. Bishop Edward Wilson, D.

These gentlemen have secured the high
positions they hold and the confidence
which every one has in them through
the fidelity they have shown to human

are men who have the confidence of
all who know them; men who love hu-
mainly and seek by every means in
their power to do everything to benz
fit it.

CHICAGO. Feb. 22.-It is now reported
that the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cthc roads have joined hands to bring about
an abolition Of all Canadian Pacific diffcren-
tials. and will insist that that be an in
dlspensable element in the settlement Of the
present transcontinental rate war.
These differentials are at the bottom of the
trouble. They have been the source of an
noyance and friction since they have been
In existence, and now it is claimed the present
war offers an excellent opportunity of get
ting rid Of them once and forever 1t is
urged that there is really no reason for their
existence. Amy disadvantages to which the
Canadian Pacific may be subjected to in com
peting for transcentinental business on the
one hand are more than Offset by advantages
it enjoys on the other.
1t may be that all the matters now in dis
pute between the roads may be submitted
to arbitration for settlement. In that case the
question of differentials would have to alb de

in dispute. Should the war be fought cut

named will insist on the abolition OF ali diff
ferentials.

Such is the mission OF the Sons of the
Revolution, and of its brother society, the
Sons Of the American Revolution, and such
is the mission Of the magnificent society Of
the Daughters of the American Revolution
In their blessed and far-reaching work of
organized, intelligent patriotism.
Here in Minnesota I'VE can do everything
as briefly outlined except erect revolution
airy monuments and memorials. Fortu-
nately, the Minnesota Society of the Sons
Of the Revolution found a plan in which
to invest its funds and interest it's mem
bers and the public. q The plan was to en-
list the patriotic services of the youth of
Minnesota. by melting them to research in
American patriotic history, and engaging
them in patriotic essay contests on SUBJ
jects assigned by the society and rewarding
made from die furnished by the general
society. To make the competition equal
and fair we opened 1T to the students of
the high schools of the state.
The plan wasi really very simple, as 1t
was only combination of the required
tory, and should have met with a hearty
and instantaneous support of teachers
principals and superintendents.
You have heard of the plan and doubtless
realize its value.
1t is with patriotic public opinion whether
this state society shall continue 1t as a
state affair, or confine 1t to the Twin Cities
OF abandon 1t altogether
II the STARS and Stripes and this
unique and beautiful flag proclamation of
Secretary Townsend cannot arouse more in
