Hunting for New Writers.

Eight thousand manuscripts were re-
ceived by the Ladies' Home journal
during the year just closed. Each was
given careful reading, but out of the
entire number only eighty were found
worthy of publication. The Manu-
script Bureau of the Ladies' Home
Journal is operated at large expense,
but the hope of discovering new writ
ers or some aspirants with undeveloped
talent warrants the outlay. 1t can be
seen that the articles secured by such
a careful winnowing process brings the
cost of each up to and above the re-
muneration paid our best writer's.
These facts bring refutation to the
oftrepeated but none the less errone.
Gus assertion that only well-known
writers of established literary reputa
ton are able to find a place for their
work in the magazines. Exactly the
contrary is true. The Ladies' Home
Journal, through the manuscripts con
sidered. has discovered three or four
new writers of excellent merit and
great prohIise, and this "find" its edi.
tor regards as fully warranting the
large outlay of maintaining an expen,
sive bureau for reading all the manu-,
scripts submitted.

PEACE in CHINA.
Ministers Said to Have Reached
Agreement.
Nothing Will be Given Out, However,
Until Home Governments Are
Informed.

Pekin, Dec. 20.-At meeting of the
foreign ministers late last evening
everything in regard to the terms of
the joint note was agreed to, includ-
ing the British notifications.
The ministers refuse to disclose any
thing in connection with the matter,
believing that the home governments
should give the particulars to the
public.
It is learned that the entire misun-
derstanding. which has delayed the
contamination of tine agreement at
Pekin, was caused by the change or
omission of the single digit in a COM
pick of figures making up one of the
cipher messages of instruction to Mr..
Conger.
Curiously enough, the change in this
single digit exactly reversed the mean
ing of the entire message. SO that Mr..
Conger, in opposing the English view
was acting exactly contrary to the
spirit of his instructions, though in &C
cordance with their letter.

The New Ulm Review says the idea
of standing army of 100, 600 men is
repugnant to every principle of our
government We fail to see wherein
it is any more repugnant than the
maintaining of smaller army was a
number of years ago when the ratio of
the men maintained to the population
was as great or greater than 100, 600
would benow. But as matter of fact the
army reorganization bill now before
congress does not provide for such a
standing army as our New Ulm neigh
Dor would lead it's readers to believe.
The size Of the regular army is placed
at go, 900 and the president is given
authority to increase it to loo. 900 by
a volunteer force as occasion demands.
That will be the number at which it
will stand so long as the Philippine
difficulty remains, but no man who
occupies the presidential chair will
keep in service a single volunteer,
when not needed over there. There is
no danger of militarism in this coun-
try unless the people themselves de-
mand it, which they never will, of
course. The constitution effectually
prevents it by limiting any and all
appropriations for the army to two
years, thus giving the people chance
to pass upon it,

as Captain.

Washington, Dec. 30. Congress
has authorized the president to appoint
Representative Charles A. Boutelle,

ing Mr.. Boutelle's retirement.
1t is expected that the president will
approve the resolution, and, in accord
ance with the authorization nominate
him as captain on the retired list of
the navy.
Mr.. Boutelle is member of the pre-
sent house of representatives and a
member of the next house.
1t is understood he will resign his
membership in the house, and thus
open the way for his retirement in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
resolution.
The exact condition of Congressman
Boutelle's health has been given in
writing by DR.. Edward Cowles, super
intendent of the Mclean hospital,
Weaverly, Mass, in connection with
the proposition to place him on the
retired list of the navy.

LEM RETURNS.
He is Grateful to Those Who
Helped Him.
Tells of Other Inmates of the Peniten.
tiary Who Were Sent From
Mankato.

VIM. LEM accompanied W. E.
Young to the city last evening from
Saltwater, and is stopping at the
Clifton House. He called on Mrs. Geo.
r. Hair and others today to express
his gratitude for the work which they
did toward bringing about his free
dom. He will leave tomorrow after
noon for Waupeca, Wis, and will go
to the farm of his parents, who reside
ten miles from that city He, has a
position in view, and if he gets it
will not remain on the farm.
Mr.. LEM is feeling well, and states
that no one is able to describe the
pleasure which he feels at obtaining
his freedom again and getting out into
the world. He says that he is very
grateful to all who have assisted him
in obtaining his pardon, and that he
bears malice toward none. He has
not seen his parents since his trouble
began, and will reach home Saturday
noon, perhaps before they hear of his
release. There will be joyous Christ
mas in that home.
Mr.. LEM was taken to Saltwater
ten years ago next May, but for
twenty-five months previous to that
was an inmate of the Blue Earth
county Jail He is now thirty-fiye
years of age. Several times he had
given up hope of a pardon, and had
done SO last Saturday night, when it
was already signed Last night he
had his first sleep since being inform
ed of it.
In speaking of the prison, Mr.. LEM
mentioned several of the other persons
who are serving sentences there, hav-
ing been sent from this county. OF
VIM. Giefer, who is serving life SEN
tence for the murder of Leonard
Roway, he says that he has the con-
fdence of the prison officials. Giefer
is local butcher, weighs much more
than formerly, and has hopes of even
tually securing pardon.
VIM. Haggerty is a barber of the
first grade, but is not well. He has
been under the doctors care for six or
eight months, and has about given up
hopes of living to get out.
Clarence Crook is in the shoe depart
ment, but is unwell, owing to the lack
of exercise.
Louis Balser, another life prisoner,
has been transferred to the Rochester
insane asylum.
VIM. Wagner is in the shoe depart
ment.
Clifton Holden, the Redwood Falls
murderer, is also in the Rochester
asylum.

House Work is Hard Work without GOLD DUST.
For Christmas.

We are glad for the great Prince OF
Glory,
For us Thou left Thy Fathers house
above
And we rejoice in Thy humiliation,
We adore Thee for thy wondrous
love.
Thou saw us in our lost condition
Down from Thy Throne in realms OF
light.
And knew that there was none so save
us
From gloom and everlasting night.
Thy goodness moved Thy compassion,
For goodness ever is Thy highest
law,
And goodness ever governs all Thy ac-
tions,
And ali Thy thoughts from love and
GODDESS flow.
And Thou for us became incarnate,
Flesh of our flesh did'st Thou be-
come,
Obscured Thy diety in human nature
And own Thyself to be the lowly
Mary's son.
Yet Thou did'st still retain the God
head,
And might and majesty was ever
Thine
The winds and waves obeyed Thy
mandate,
The dead awakened at Thy voice
divine.
