Christ Set the Example.

The sacrament Of service! =. Here is the
great struggling, weary, un-Christlike world
at our doors, and here are the dreams and
hopes of Christian discipleship which hover
before us as we pray; and to give the one to
the other, the high ideal to the lowly deed.
the great thought to the slight kindness, and
to do all this without ostentaton or conceit
that is as though once more Jesus rose
from table and bent in His sacrament of
service; and as He bent looked up into the
face of His disciple and said: ~ have given
you an example that you should do even as
have done to you."-F. G. Peabody, D.

All animals, even the wildcat, can be

of man and be: domesticated to some
extent Here, for. instance. are two
very curious facts about. cats. Many
persons, including some Of our greatest
naturalists, believe that our English
domestic cat Is descended from the
Egyptian domestic cat. We, all records

There can be very little doubt that
the potter's wheel. or potter's lathe, as
1t Is also termed, represents today the
most ancient form of machine tool
known. Among the many sculpturel
records of the trades and occupations
which so wildly represent the customs
and habits of the ancient Egyptians
the potter and his wheel have bcen
found frequently depicted, and 1t ia
curious to note that through the al
most countless generations since that
time this crude type of lathe has under
gone no material modification.
The primitive form was evidently q

free to revolve, being turned BY hand

NEN FRANCHISE RULING
JUDGE LOCHREN MAKES ONE OF
IMPORTANCE TO
CITIES
HELD TO THEIR BARGAINS
Little Falls Electric and Water
Company Holds the City to
Terms of Its Agree
ment.

The decision of Judge Lochren, of the
circuit court, yesterday, sustaining the
Little Falls Electric and Water company
in its suit against the city, is of much
wider application than appears on the
face Of it. 1t stands, in fact, as a ruling
on municipal franchises and contracts in
general, and holds, broadly, that munic-
ipalities have no more right to violate the
terms of a bargain entered into with their
eyes open than have individuals
Volumes of testimony were submitted by
the parties in the case. The city based
it's position on two points, namely, that
the franchise had been granted for an
unreasonable term of years-thirty-and
that the hydrant rental was exorbitant.
The company sought to show that CAPT.
tai would not risk investment Of this sort
without liberal returns; that the fran
chise was not for an unreasonable time
the charges not exorbitant, and asked an
injunction restraining the city from men
acing Its interests by installing a munich
pal light and water plant. In gathering
testimony the litigants went into num-
Der OF states for facts bearing on the
controversy, and the fund gathered has
busted the court since March 27, when the
case was heard.
Judge Lochren refused the injunction
asked for by the company, but held that
as the city went into the deal with it's
eyes open, there being no irregularities
on the part Of the duly constituted munic-
ipal officials, the city must stand by the
bargain the same as an individual. He
did not consider the thirty-year term un-
reasonable, or the hydrant rental exor-
bitant. He therefore ordered judgment
for the plaintiff company, and that If the
parties could not stipuiate a settlement
of their account, it should be referred to
a master.
Several years rentals have been held
back by the city, and avery considerable
sum is now due the. company.

HOW THEY ARE GARNERED BY

That a p'nI.y saved is penny earned,
and that several pennies saved Will re-
suit in dollars, is what the Associated
Charities Of st. Paul have for over three
years been trying to teach the children
of st. Paul by means of the ProVident
Savings fund. The records kept by Sec
retary Gutridge. Of the Associated Char
tiles, show the result to be most encour-
aging. There is nothing complicated In
the banking system of the savings fuod,
and no doubt that is one reason why the
children have taken 1t up with such in

ing on the outside the simple rules that
are to be observed by the depositors, to-
