THE PRIVATE.
They call his title private

They call his title private
he reached no higher grade,
But waited for his orders
And died when he Obeyed.
No pen may write his story,
No chl~el carve his name,
No monument rise Ger him.
No multitude acclaim.
For he was but private,
And served another's fame,
And. dying, gave his country
A never-dying name.
He gave to orders progress
The life twas his to give,
And in his country's annals,
Though nameless, he shall live.
He fought as but private
Without promONon he
To carry freedoms banner
Beyond the rolling sea;
That purpose might not falter,
That peace might have her reign
And justice work with honor
For mans eternal gain.
He fought and died a private,
And never held the sword
Renown did not come nigh him,
His hand holds no reward.
He wrought to give the lawless
The hope of righteous laws,
Nor vengeance marred his valor,
Nor malice cursed his cause.
They called his title private
He sleeps in glory's bed,
And where he fell advancing n
Now other private's tread, II
Nor eulogy nor marble AAs,
Can honor such as they,
Who answers duty's summons
And die when they obey.

NETTIE.

"Now show papa the picture, Elsie,"
she said.
Little Elsie went over to her father
andshowed him the work of art Charles
looked at it earnestly a moment, and
thena light broke over his countenance.
"reminiscences seemed to be chasing
each other across his face.
"Nettie!"
"Yes?"
do you know what day it is?"
Indeed do, dear. 1t was ten years
ago to-day that we were married"
Knocking the ashes from his pipe,
Charles rose, stretched his arms and
looked first at Nettie and then from one
TO the other of the little girls, and then
back at Nettie. Ten years is a long
time, Nettie," he said.

going to celebrate, We are going TO
take a cruise in the little ship you have
painted, Come, get your hats on, and
We'll all go together to have regular
old-fashioned celebration. Come on,
Nette; climb into shirt waist and join
this hilarious gang"
But what are you going to do,
Charles?" asked Nettie.
"Neveryou mind, girl; promised you
ten years ago that we would have a
glorious old time on our anniversary,
and now we are going to have it, and |
don't care what it costs. Tin weddings
don't come every day, and guess we
can afford to spread little Bit
Nettie obeyed the summons, and in a
few moments the whole party were on
the street and headed for the corner,
AS they walked along the Sidewalk
Charles took Nette lovingly by the
arm and whispered to her: when we
have been married 20 years well take
a cruise in our yacht and We'll go round
the world, won't we2"
THAT will be lovely" said Nettie.
"And it will be lovely, too"
Presently they arrived at the drug
store and all trailed in. Throwing a
half dollar on the counter Charles
swelled himself up to his full height
and commanded: "Give us four ice.
cream sodas,"
And thus, in the cleaning, as it were,
passed the tenth anniversary of the
marriage of Charles and Nettie. And
the mon kept on shining, and back in
the solitude of the fiat, when the two
little curly heads were reposing on
their pillows, and Charles and Nettie
had gone out again to get the air on
the porch, there seemed to be nothing
to say. They sat silently for a long
time and finally Charles remarked: 81
wonder what will happen in the next
ten years?"
81 wonder, too," said Nettie.-Chi.

man and his front name was
Charles,
At about the same time there was a
young woman and her front name was
Nettie,
Charles was very nice young man,
and Nettie was very nice young lady,
They lived near each other, and natur-
ally were thrown much in each others
company
The fact Is that Charles fell In love
with Nettie, and the affection ripened
as the days went by, This being true
story, it Is necessary to admit that Net
tie fell in love with Charles, and that
the affection ripened as the days went
by.
Charles grew to mans estate and
raised whiskers and began to think Of
marrying, Nettie grew to a womans
estate and joined a woman's club and
began to think of marrying,
By and by there came an evening,
The sun had set according to it's reg
lilar schedule. The soft breezes were
kissing the landscape and the moon
light was kissing the wavelets on the
lakelet, and Charles was kissing Net
tie.
After that evening Charles began to
wear smile and an abstracted look,
and Nettie began to wear little ring.
By and by there came another day
The sun rose according to schedule and
poured out its usual flood of mellow ra-
dance upon happy world,
In a cottage which was properly vine
clad there gathered little company of
relatives and friends, and also Charles
and Nettie and the air was heavy with
the odor of roses, and Charles was
decked out in brand new Prince Al
bert coat, while Nettie was sweetly,
simply beautiful in the regulation
bride-white gown. The preacher took
his place in front of the bay window.

was all over in a moment and they
were one, And they were both very
happy, and everybody got a piece of
the wedding cake and kissed the bride,
and the bride cried little, and Charles
said anyone that wouldn't get married
was a chump, and so the whole thing
passed Off very pleasantly,
All this happened ten years ago. On
their wedding journey Charles told
Nettie that he was only a poor young
man, with a name and fame vet to
make, but with the inspiring compan-
'onship Of the noblest woman on the
be of the earth he would win fame

The New City General Fund Bonds to be Take

+: ~ Banking Firm. III

At. the regular meeting of tle city
council held last night city attorney
Eckstrin, to-, whom had been entrusted
the details of the placing of the $4,000
refunding bonds authorized by the coun-
Gil some time ago, reported that the
Western German Bank of Cincinnati
declined to take the full issue III accor-
dance with the terms Of their bid. The
objection of the Western German bank
to the bonds was purel y technical and
the council rescinded all previous resol-
utlons affecting the sale of the bonds to
them and will make. tie loan from the
state from its permanent school and un-
iverslty fund. The new loan will be
made at the same rate! Of interest which
would have been paidto the Cincinnati
hank, the only apparn loss being that
of the $3.50 pemlun offered by them.
This, however, will prove no loss in fact
for the reason that within the next two
years the entire loan may be Refunded
and the interest rel luced tot hree per
cent. Another admirable feature of the
loan from the state is the fact that while
the bonds are to run for Il period of
twenty years they will also be payable
on or before the expiration Of that time
at the option of the city.
Upon the proposition of the New
Clm Boot & Shoe company that the city
donate to them lots II, 12 and 13 of

s'The new extension from New Ulm to
Estherville will not be opened to traffic
this winter unless something at this time
should occur" is the reply given by
General Manager Day, of the Minneap-
oils & st. Louis, in response to re-
quest for definite information. While
the track is completed, so far as the con-
struction of the grade and the laying of
steel is concerned, it is yet far from
being in shape for successful operation,
and under present conditions either
freight or passenger traffic could be car
ried on only at continual loss to the
company. The coming of cold weather
has put stop to the complete surfacing
OF the line and the expense of keeping
the track in condition for the running
of regular trains during the wipter
months as to make it impractical tc, at
tempt regular service.
1t is authorita:ive!y stated, however,
that arrangements will be m ade for the
transportation Of Car load freight over

will be done to preveht delay in either
