Every time he coughed he expectorated
blood. Finally a throat specialist was
called to examine the boy. His only ad-
vice was that an operation would be
necessary. The lads parents would not
consent to this, and SO the lad continued

says that Minnesota is entitled to first
place among the commonwealth for
promptness in recognizing the right of
coming generations to know the true
story of the past. The territory of Min
nesota was organized on March g. 1S49,
and the fifth act passed by that legis-
lature was grant Of a charter to the
Minnesota Historical society, which or

For several years after the admission
of Minnesota into. the Union the society
virtually lapsed. In 1868, it was resus-
citated; and during the next five years
the state renewed a former small appro-
priation to meet its expenses. In 1853 the
appropriation was increased. In 1880 it's
members paid Minneapolis, the new and
fast-growing rival of st. Paul, the COM
pliment of meeting In that city, to cele-
brate tie two hundredth anniversary of
Father Hennepin's discovery of the Falls

ed it's appropriation for historical collec-

The state publications include eight vol

LOCAL ASSOCIATION HIS.
C.. S. ward, Ia Way, Founded ho-
cal Y. Nj. G. A.

C. S. Ward, secretary of the interna-
tionaI committee of the Y. M. c. A, was
the speaker at yesterday afternoons
mems meeting at the association rooms.
Mr.. Wards visit was of especial interest,
owing to the fact that he started the
ball rolling which eventually resulted In
the organization of the st. Paul associa-
ton on a firm financial basis.
Mr. Ward spoke of the workings of the
national committee and of the field work
accomplished during the last few years.
The spiritual influence of the movement
had, he thought, greatly increased, rather
than decreased although conditions had
somewhat changed the methods employ
ed, but the purpose of the association
had not changed in the least. The asso-
citation aimed to reach all classes of men,
and, as a aworkngman's club, it's success
had been acknowledged. The educational
features resulted to the betterment of all
who were willing and anxious to improve
their faculties. The speaker referred to
the gymnasium as the great mixer" of
men. where the millionaire and poor
mans son met oalike on common ground.
The wholesome. influence of the physical
training feature was one of the very i'm
portant departments of the association
work.
