sion, to elect senator, and Mr. Simon
was chosen. During the interim, Ore
gon only had one senator. It is not like
ly that, in the future, any state legisr
lature will fail to perform it's functions,
because the rule of the senate is we'll
understood. Governors of states can
not appoint to fill vacancies caused by
the negligence or criminality of recall
citrant state legislators.
The leading men in the senate to-day
are not those who are noted for their
much speaking. Perhaps the most
conspicuous republican senator IS Mark
Hanna, known generally as the special
and most trusted friend of President
Mckinley. But while Mark Hanna is
conspicuous, he is not much of power
in shaping legislation. This shows that,
while man may be power in politics
and politically conspicuous, he must
take a back seat as "a new senator"
when he enters the great deliberative
body. It is no reflection upon Mr..
Hanna, but a statement of fact.
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, is a
man of whom you seldom hear, because
of his quiet, unobtrusive manners. But
he is one of the veterans, one of the
workers, one of the managers; and he
has done the bulk of the work in COM
mittee on all tariff and financial meas
ures for the senate during the past IL
years. His handiwork was seen on the
Morrison, Mills, Mckinley, Wilson and
Dingley tariff bills: rs ..-..:.
Mr.. Quay's position has been some
what like Mr.. Hanna's. : Now, how
ever, Mr.. Quay has been in the senate
long enough for his associates to rec
ognize his shrewdness and good sense.
He is thorough partisan, and his infu-
ence is chiefly in his own party. Never
theless the democrats find him good
man to get along with, because he does
just what he says he is going to do, and
his opponents can rely upon his word,
whether he says he is going to fight
them or help them.
Of an entirely different character
from the influence of Senators Hanna
and Quay is that of Senator Hoar. Sen
ator Hoar is scholarly, clear-headed
and able statesman. He has had the
best of academic training, and has cul-
tivated in every way an already broad
intellect. AS might be expected, he
has much influence in the senate on
any matter that is purely intellectual
in character. His power is exerted
through his ideas rather than through
his personality.
There is man on the democra tic side
who during Mr.. Cleveland's last admin
istration was the strongest supporter

the office most two weeks"
''Thank you, Charlie; my CORE
there was such a thing as a post office,'
and he took the business-like envelope
in his hand and wonderingly tore it
open. It read as follows:
New York, Oct. 3, 1S95-Office Of J. W.
Penniman, Attorney and Counselor at Law.
Mr.. H. w. Allen, Oakville Corners, Mich.
My Dear Sir: For the past two months
I have been looking for your address and
have just this day learned it. I now
hasten to inform you of very agreeable
turn in your affairs. When your late la
mented father became involved in financial
difficulties one of the largest and most VAL
liable of his steamships, the Dolphin,
bound for the East Indies, was reported
lost in tropical hurricane Without at
tempting to inform you of details, which
I can better explain in person, 1 will simply
say that the supposed loss, followed by
inability to obtain the insurance, came at
critical time and brought on the failure
It now transpires that the report was in
correct. On the goth of July, only three
, weeks after your fathers death, the DOL
phin arrived in this port with an exceed.
ingly valuable cargo. BY this unexpected
stroke of fortune you are again rich man.
I have very gladly taken charge of your
business interests, believing, sir, that you
would wish me to do so, and shall take
the liberty to act in this capacity until I
hear from you.
No doubt you will at once communicate
with me. but thinking it might be an ac-
| commodation to have a little ready cash,
I inclose draft on New York for 81 900.
subject to your order. Awaiting your fur
| Their instructions, am your obedient serv-
ant, JOHN w. PENNIMAN
Herbert read the welcome news in a
dazed sort of way. He reread it more
carefully, and as its full import dawned
! upon him exultation took the place of
: dependency in his breast. He picked
up the draft with feeling of elation.
''This is indeed New Years gift! This
little piece of paper is worth ten times
as much as 1 have earned this whole
term. No more need to worry for the
future! The news is too good to be
true. Now I can bid defiance to that
august body, the school board of the
Brown district"
Just then his eye happened to rest
upon some very neat algebraic char
acters on the blackboard which he had
purposely directed mot to be erased"
in order to attract the wondering atten-
ton of his visitors that afternoon. An
instant change came over his spirits.
'still I would have enjoyed another
term in this district. It is shame that
ones efforts are so little Appreciated"
The gathering dusk of a winters day
admonished him not to inger further,
and he began to gather up his books
with constantly sinking heart. He

Game Protection.

The first steps were taken for the Or
ganization of game protective asso-
citation by well attended meeting of
Minneapolis nimrods. The meeting
was presided over by Il. C. Hanke, and
+. Il. Bass acted as secretary. The OBJ
jects of the proposed organization were
discussed and it was the concensus of
opinion that there should be rigid
enforcement of present laws, and the
adoption of new ones. The hunters
favor the license feature, which was
discussed by the game wardens of the
northwestern states at their meeting
held recently in Chicago, which would
impose a license of 81 on resident hunt
ers, and $25 on such as come from
other states.

The Last Year.

Commissioner Hermann, of the gen.
eral land Office, announced that the
logging of dead and down timber will
be resumed on the Chippewa Indian
reservation this winter, but will not
be continued after this year. He said
the decision was the result of the rec
ommendation of special agents who in
vestigated the subject for the general
land Office and of the recommendations
of several of the congressional delega-
ton, the idea being that the larger
part of the timber can be logged this
year.

When the oath was administered to
Senator Simon, of Oregon, the senate
became complete body numerically
for the first time in almost two years.
There are now 80 senator's present or
accounted for, two senators for each of
the As states in the republic.
The term of Senator Mitchell, of
Oregon, expired March 4, 1897. The Or
gon legislature failed 20 perform its
duty and adjourned without electing a
successor to Senator Mitchell. The
governor of Oregon appointed Senator
Corbett, but the United States senate
refused to grant him seat. Conse-

must bear
From the darkness into light;
Burden Of my wasted days,
fragments of my broken hours,
Budding promises that grew
Never into fruit or flowers.
Happiness I might have won,
Worthy deeds I might have wrought
Wrongs hate, but did not shun.
Good crave, but never sought;
ALI my proud and lofty aims,
W1thered now to vain regret
Feeble, foolish as the will
To no noble purpose set.
Take them all, my griefs, my joys.
Lay them at the Fathers feet;
He will search If yet there be
Mid the chah some grains of wheat,
He will fan my faint resolves
10 q purer flame and clear,
Bear to Heaven my hearts desire,
Angel OF the parting year.
And angel of the coming year,
Though thy face Is vailed, see
BY the glory round thee shed,
Thou hast some good gift for me.
Is 1t gold, power, or fame?
Perfect peace from toll or care?
Or some sweeter, greater bliss
I had never hoped to share?
Nay, know tits none Of these;
Still walk my narrow ways;
Still does lowly labor fill
All the measures of my days:
This the treasure thou hast brought.
Priced in every age and cline,
Life no greater boon can crave
Gods most precious gift of Time.
Time to shape my common cares
Into duties high and sweet;
Time to learn that patience smooths
All rough ways for tired feet;
Time to scatter here and there,
BY the wayside, loves small seed,
Knowing lowliest hands may oft
Minister to highest need.
SO may each day be cup
With life's sweet havors fraught;
Every hour a shining pearl
Strung on golden threads of thought:
Every moment bright flower
Shedding perfume far and near.
Lend thy grace to make it so,
Angel of the coming year!

M|..INNESO NEWS.
Tho 18th Minnesota.

a dispatch from Washington says:
Minneapolis volunteers in the 18th
regiment at Manila will be given GO
days furlough with pay and mustered
out on their arrival in Minneapolis.
They are expected there the latter part
OF March. The order was made by the
acting secretary of war at the instance
OF Congressman Fletcher.
1t is needless to say that the soldiers
VINO have so uncomplainingly endured
the monotony of police duty will be
given an ovation when they arrive in
Minneapolis that will surpass anything
OF the kind ever accorded Minnesota
regiment.
When the regiment arrives it will
march up Nicollet avenue, and it is
safe to say that nearly every man,
woman and child in the city will be
present to welcome the boys home. In
all probability the new Fourth regi-
ment of militia will turn out to act as
an escort for the Thirteenth in its pa
rade. Besides this, local militiamen,
those who have formerly served IN the
various national guard regiments, are
planning to act as part of this guard
OF honor. There are over 500 men in
Minneapolis who have at one time or
another been members of the guard,
and it is understood that they will
hold a meeting some time after the
first OF the year to discuss the scheme.
Affirmed.
Secretary Bliss affirmed the land Of
ice decision in the contest of the
Northern Pacific against the Manitoba
road, involving two lists of lands en-
bracing respectively 1884 and 22s
acres in the st. Cloud district. The
lands are in conflicting limits of the
grants to both roads and the lists held
for rejection were fled by the plain
tiffs. The first list involves lands Sc
lected on account of the grant to aid
the construction of the St. Vincent ex-
tension, and certified to the governor
of Minnesota. The secretary there
fore rules that the land has passed
from the jurisdiction of the depart
ment and holds the list for rejection.
AS to the second list, the patents there
for had been issued to persons who set
tied thereon prior to- selection by the
Northern Pacific and are therefore
held to be excepted from the grant.
