II. NJ. Beadle writes as follows to the
New York Frceman's journal on Pat
rick Henry:
] was much pleased with your account
of this great orator and statesman in
the Freeman of Oct. 90. Henry was.
as Jefferson said, shakespeare and
Garrick combined" AS you say. Henry
retired from public life in 1893. but hc
became a candidate for the Virginia
senate in 1898, when the enforcement
of the alien and sedition law threatened
the country with civil war. He and
John Randolph. of Roanoke. the latter
making his canvass for election in the
federal house of representatives. spoke
from the same hustings, Henry speaking
first. 1t was Randolphs first appearance
before the people and Henry's last. Dur
ing his speech, in which he opposed Of
fering any resistance to the enforce
ment of the alien and sedition law
Henry drew a picture of the probability
of civil war resulting. from such resist
ance, saying that Washington. in such
case. being general of the army OF the
United States, would lead that army:
and he then asked. "Who would raise his
hand against the father of his country"
Some one in the crowd cried that he
would. The old man was reused by the
answer, and turning on the one who had
spoken, with his old force and fervor
said to him: you dare not do it. In
such a parrlcidal attempt the steel
would drop from your palsied arm." 1t
is needless to say the fellow was crushed
by the lightning-like rapidity and force
of Henrys words. Randolph and Henry
were both elected. but Henry died before
the meeting of the legislature There
can be no doubt that Henry was the
greatest orator of modern times. and
probably the equal of any that ever lived.

A Chance for Saving.

The semi-annual challenge Sale at
the Big Store is in progress this week,
and is proving a great success. This
challenge is made twice year by S. E..
Olson Co. to all would-be competitors
that try to compete with the Big Store
in value-giving and price making, but
the challenge" is never accepted II
teaches the people, however, that the
Big Store advertises what it has, and
sells what it advertises, and places the
business trinity of quality, price and
quantity upon the pedestal of confidence
as warning to all amateurs and others
that it is dangerous to tamper with the
confidence of the people by setting up
false values and imitation bargains.
During the coming week special
Thanksgiving sale will be inaugurated,
during which all the many delectables
for Thanksgiving will be offered

The irresistible strength of this

upon Its escutcheon. This campaign OF

THE COMING ORPHAN FAIR.
Every Indication That 1t Will Be q
Grand Success.

Inspired by the charity Of the cause
and the pleasure of aiding the little boys
at the Catholic Orphan asylum, the ladies
and gentlemen who are volunteering to
assist in the coming fair are accomplish
ing more than was expected, and all that
could be desired. The meetings are we'll
attended and from all indications this
will be the best arranged, best managed
and most successful of any fair ever held
in the city. Everyone is enthusiastic
plshed. Each parish in the city will
organize some being already organized,
and the combined efforts of all will pro-
duce results that at the opening meeting
in Indications and determination and
will are indications that never lead
astray.
The fourth regular meeting Of the
Orphans Fair association was held in
Northeast Minneapolis Sunday afternoon
at St. Anthony's church. The large room
was full, standing room only being left.
Upon the question of changing the date
to some time in January, it was unani-
mously decided that no time could be
better than the week Immediately after
Christmas. Before Christmas there will
be too little time for working up the
large contests and, if postponed into
January, new energy, new life, must be
created after the tolls of Christmas shop
ping; whereas, by combining all efforts,
giving to the needy and motherless little
orphans our own expected gifts, the en-
thusiasm that is now alive and burning
will cause the fair to eliminate in =
blaze Of glory amid the excitements and
pleasures of the holiday season.
Among the contests of special note
will be that between the Catholic Order
of Foresters and the Ancient Order Of
Hibernians. A beautiful American flag
will be presented to the winning order
and. prompted by patriotism for the flag
that protects them, and earnestness in
the cause of the orphans, these two or
CARNATIONS will compete for the double
honor of gaining the flag and doing the
most good for charity.

dent O'Connor, at the request of County
Chaplain Mcintyre. After discussing
various plans by which the order could

assist IN aiding IN the success OF the fair,
it was agreed that the county board of
the A. o. H challenge the county board
of the Catholic Foresters to compete for
the flag, Or other trophy, offered by the
fair association. The county board of
the Catholic Foresters met Monday even
ing and accepted the challenge of the A.
o. H. This assures one of the most
spirited contests in the history Of the
Orphans fairs. Father Mcintyre is mar
shaling the forces of the A. o. H. and
enthusing the members to Guido the

Arctander and Harrington are going
to see to it that the Foresters be not out
done, holding before them one of their
The numerical strength of both societies
is about equal.
Every effort will be exercised toward
making the fair an artistic success. De-
signs novel and unique for the booths
will be made. And from this standpoint
it is expected to make things so attrac-
tive that visitors will come if only to
see the arrangements and decorations.
In regard to the matter of soliciting
gifts and articles, it was decided that
no one should have authority to solicit
unless accompanied by book properly
signed and bearing the impress of the
Orphan asylum seal. This is for the
purpose of enabling the charitably in
clined to feel assured of the charity to
which they may give.
