Written for The Junior.
Twas only a glad good morning
Uttered by a clear. young voice.
Yet it raised a heavy burden
And made a heart rejoice.
Twas only a friendly hand clasp
From q neiShbor passing by.
Yet it made day the brighter
And repressed a weary sigh.
Twas only n kindly visit
.. From one on love intent.
Yet it eladdened lonely invalid
And ray OF sunshine lent.
Twas only the refrain Of a song
Breathcd on the evening air.
Yet ii touched an crrinS heart
And left its message there.
Twas only the words of a prayer
Falling in accents low and sweet,
Yet it told the 'o!d. Old story,
And stayed the wanderers feet.

only little things are they.
Yet they maxi life worth the living,

Junior; As Aunt Susie has given the Junior
correspondents d very nice subject. I will
try my hand. Now. does wealth always
bring happiness? ! would think il dcDon,ls
largely upon what Kind Of a person or per
sons the wealth is bestowed uD0u In my
opinion, if it is given a very poor nerson
all OF a sudden 1t would bring happiness
at least for a while. but if it was given
one that was already wealthy | believe it
would add more fuel to the fire Of misery
We very seldom see real wealthy pcoDle
happy. Generally their wealth is invested
in way that ii requires all of their time
study and skill to keep from losing #: or
sometimes it is invested in way that they
can't be happy, for their whole mind is on
Their wealth. Therefore, / can't say wealth
always brings happiness. [ believe the heart
has something to do with earthly happi-
ness. If the heart is free from all sin, |
believe happiness viii come with wealth or
poverty. If wealth brings happiness, pov-
crty certainly must be curse, Poverty.
from the earliest ages. has been regarded
as misfortune, a p.tiaoie condition and a
curse" "poVerty and the consequent diff
culties Of procuring pleasure in this world
will often take our hearts away from
worldly prospects TO work Tor happiness
and heaven" Poverty, accepted as Il dis
pcnsatiOn of providence, is not Il curse,
but may be made It blessing. Wealth will
bring happiness of the possession to u GER
tain extent. one may possess large sums
of money or own broad acres OF land or
Whatever way wealth may be acquired, but
if God is rot in his heart It VIII only ada
more misery to the soul. Wealth Is Il
blessing or a curse according as its posses
sor uses it as 4 means Of comfort and
charity. II we ave very poor. we can't
do very much in God's great work of char
itv that He has, given US to do Wealth
enables us to lay up treasures in heaven
by sharing our own on earth; The Bible
plainly tells us the way is dlfllcult for the
rich man to reach heaven. Then, why
should we not be cOnteEted with our power
ty? But our being poor does not give us
any more inheritance than the wealthy; 1T
is how we accept it that makes us happy
Now [ will say. in conclusion, mat poverty
IS not a disgrace nor is wealth an honor.
I think it depends on how we use our wealth
or accept our poverty that brings happi-
ness to our souls.

ARUSTlC ROMANCE.
Believed that the Killing O,
William Fielding at Watab
Was a Case of Suicide.

The killing of William Riedding b..
Northern Pacific train Thursday
noon in Bent IN county, is said to
contain the elements of a rustic rO-
nance. The authorities are prone
to believe that Riedding's death was
that of a suicide, and man de-
mented by an unrequited affection
soug ut oblivion In death.
Rie'lding certainly knew of the
presence of the train. He had been
at Little Rock bridge when the train
crew had brought the engine do wn a
short time nefOre the accident.
Several cars Of cinders had been
brought down from Rice and un'
loaded at the bridge and the Victim
of the casualty had converse;7 with
the engineer. The latter had taken
the locomotive back to Rice. at.
tached it to his train and was com
ing down to Watab when Riedding
was run down.
All the usual signals were given to
alarm the man and make him leave
the truck but he ignored them and
paid for his Indifference with his life
He WIS q young man-Only: about
thirty years old-and was In possess
sion of all his faculties. The excuse
of deafness Ia therefore invalid, and
that he was not Intoxicated is evi.
denced by the statement of Section
Foreman McAanus, of Sank Rapids,
who saw and conversed with him
at Little Rock but a few minutes be.
fore the fatality occurred.
The theory Of the authorities IL
that Riedding was In love with q
young woman, named Rose Barrett,
who lived with her people on the
shores Of Little Rock lake, and that
she had Tilted him. They believe that
in q fit of dependency the young
man decided upon putting an end to
his existence. His effects ave ut

CROW WING LOSES.
CaSs Gets Back the Seventeen
Townships in
Dispute.

Several years ago proceedings were
taken by residents of seventeen town
ships in Cass county to detnch the
territory from Cass county and at
tach it to Crow Wing. Apparently
the necessary number Of petitioners
asked for the change. and it was al
lowed by the state officers having
control Of the matter. The Oppo-
nents OF the plan took the matter in
to Court, and it has been fought for
a long time. The supreme court
gave u decision on the matter Thurs
day, adverse to Crow Wing county,
and the tract will go back to C,.As
The decision reads:
Held, that 1t appears that the e
was no competent evidence before
the commission 10 sustain their find
ing: that the petition presented to
them was signed by S. per cent IF
the actual residents Anu legal voters
for the territory proposed to bc
taken from Cass county and at
tached to Crow Wing county, "as
shown by the returns Of the last pre-
ceding general election"
p, Also, that 1t appears from the evil
dence before this court that the
actual facts did not sustain such
finding. 1t was not necessary that
one who had signed such petition,
but wished to withdraw his name,
should appear In person before the
commission 1t was sufficient, II.
before the commission had acted on
the petition, he communicated to
them in writing, So authenticated as
to show it's genuineness, the fact
that he was not 10 favor Of the pro-
posed change and wished hin name
withdre WI and not counted IN favor
of the change. A communication to
the effect that he did not untlerst md
the nature of the petition when he
signed it, that he was opposed t"
change and thereby asks for an OPP
portunity to- strike his name from
said petition" is sufficient with
drawal. A writ Of custer IL ordered.
