The article on Arthur Henry Hallam

The article on Arthur Henry Hallam,
by Mr.. Gladstone, in the New Years
number of Youths Companion, is one of
the most fascinating literary papers ever
written by the great English statesman.
It carries one back to past full of
charm. The remainder of this number
abounds in interest. There is the be-
ginning of new serial story by G. A.
Stephens, a good story of repor er's
interview with the late Emperor Dom
Pedro of Brazil, several other short
stories of exceptional merit, and the
usual rare selection of miscellany.

night transacted considerable
routine business and indulged
but little its usual propensity
to "scrap," the most belligerent
outburst being the collcquy
between Aldermen Duren,
Stevens and Sang over the
payment of certain claims for
salaries alleged to be due city
employees for March, 1897
When the new council fixed
the salaries of the city en-
ployes it made the reductions
date back to March 1, and these
claims were for the difference
between the old rate and the
new, which it was claimed
could not be legally made
restorative. The city attorney
thought, when appealed to for
advise, that these men knew
the law required the council to
readjust their wages and that
they held on to their places
willingly to take the risks.
Aid. Duren suggested that if
the claims were paid the coun-
cilmen might be brought be.

said he chad no fear of the
grand jury" whereupon a
brother alderman retorted,
"and you might add, NO respect
either for the law" The
matter went to the city attor-
ney for more extended investi-
cation. liz
The council was,in a cautious
mood and piled responsibility
upon the city attorneys
shoulders with lavish hand.
To him was referred a bill of
$115 for police caps; and an
appropriation of $3.50 for. the
humane society.
The request from the laundry
workers union for the use of
the arnory for their ball on
February 10 was filed. The
union agered to pay $1,000, but
favorable action was prevented
by an objection that the price
had been fixed at $25.OO.
Miscellaneous bills for De-
cember were allowed; the
democratic city committee was
granted the council chamber
for January 21 to hold their city
convention in; a communica-
ton from the board of public
works referring to the non
enforcement of the ordinance
prohibiting the deposit of rub
bish in the streets was referred
to the chief of police; and the
Northwestern Electrical As
sociation was invited to hold it's
annual meeting in Duluth.
The board of public works
reported that Frederickson had
failed to keep up the insurance
on the pump house, and the
board was authorized to place
the insurance itself and deduct
the cost from the contract
price.
The Carrol-Porter Company
protested against the city's
slowness in paying their es-
Inmates. The company claimed
that $4,000, less a small
amount, was now due. An
estimate was ordered paid
amounting to %,153.16. =
A request from the charter
commission for an, appropria-
ton of 500 to pay stenog-

MOCkING-EIRD COURT.
Butcher Bird Was Found Guilty and
Executed Promptly.

Nhile out in an orange grove the 9th.
er day John Jones, of Sanford, Fla
was attracted by the twittering of "A
large number of mocking birds and
others around a thicket in the lower
part of the grove. Proceeding cautious
-, he WINS enabled TO get close to the
assembly of birds without exciting al
tention or causing them any alarm.
Peering through thicket. he beheld
dozen or more mocking birds that
were arranged in half circle. all twit.
tering and talking as if they were hold
ing council of war or political meet
ing. In the center lay big butcher
bird, its brown p!umage bespaitered
with blood, while one wing hung help.
less down by its side. On each side was
mocking bird holding the wing of
the prisoner, for so it seemed TO be, in
its bill. The butcher bird, by the way.
is deadly enemy of the mocking bird
and many others. 1t is vicious. sav.
age, bloodthirsty little wretch. always
fighting and il has the most cruel ways
of securing its food.
1t would seem that the mocking birds
had combined and caught one of their
enemies and proposed to deal summary
vengeance. For several minutes the
mocking birds twittered. some angrily
some noisiiy and others more quietly.
as if engaged in very grave discussion
as to what should be done with the
butcher bird before them. The latter
lay in the grasp of its enemies. its
bright. undaunted eyes rowing from
side to side. as if seeking to escape
just us the final conclusion seemed to
be reached it made a plunge 10 get
away, but the moeking birds were Wig
liant, and they held on TO it.
AT the signal the mocking birds all
pitched forward, fiercely attacking the
heartless butcher bird. The latter
fought !iercely, but he was overpow
cred, and in few moments he was
literally picked TO pieces. It's feathers
were scattered on all sides. and soon
rothing was left but the bloody car
cass. Three of the mocking birds
pushed it off the stump and the others
brought few twigs. which they cast
over it, showing that they would deign
to bury the body of their enemy.-Chi

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

1work with patience, which is almost
power.-Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
Service to our fellow men should be
made not substitute for piety, but an
expression of it.-Josiah Strong.
You can help your fellow men. You
must help your fellow men. But the
only way you can help them is by be-
ing the noblest and the best man that
it is possible for you to be.-Phillips
Brooks.
1t may indeed be more blessed to give
than to receive; but, when the former
luxury is not within ones honest reach,
it is blessed, too, to receive from those
one thoroughly loves.-George S. Mer-
riam.
'Tis an absolute and, as it were, di-
vine perfection for man to know how
loyalty to enjoy his being. We seek
other conditions, by reason we do not
understand the use of our own; and GO
out Of ourselves, because we know not
how there to reside.-Montaigne.
Why dost thou fear to be wronged?
1t can at the worst kill thee. Who is
born to live forever? Consent to be
wronged be silent under every injury
But of one thing be sure, do the full
est, the most scrupulous justice to all
men, and chiefly to those who have
wronged you.-Mozoomdar.

NEW FASHION IDEAS.

Velvet ribbons are worn around the
neck with evening gowns, adorned with
slides of plain gold set in precious
stones. Some of these slides are in
the form of feur-de-lis, shamrocks or
dragon flies.
Women's affection for net gowns still
holds out. A pretty dress of this type
is of pale-green net, with trails of chest
nut leaves in pale-green sequin. Black
net gowns with leaves and blossoms
done in jet.
A gown which carries no date-for it
is a picture ever beautiful--is of sap
phire-blue velvet, plainly made and
draped with exquisite lace, studded
with tiny jewels. 1t is held in at the
waist by a quaint girlde.
1t is said in the immediate future tiis
hair is to be worn dressed low on the
neck. though at present the higher it is
dressed the better. Not only jewels are
worn in the hair, but a twisted band of
jet Or velvet. with single ostrich tip,
is much in favor.
