THE MAN WHO sWoRE OFF.
He II Deserving Of Respect and En-.
cOuragement.

The world, if it knows its business.
will doff it's hat to the man who
swore off New Years day. Notwith-
standing the outlaws of the crowd
at the bar when they hear about it..
that man, says the Chicago Daily
News, is worthy of respect and en-
couragement. Having the desire to
mend his ways, { he has braved the
jests of his associates, the sneers of
those whose unworthy methods he
hopes to forsake, and the curious
glances of casual acquaintance, in
order to exercise his will in resist
ing evil habits. His militant man
hood is worthy of praise. So, for
your own sake as well as for his,
take a patronizing attitude toward
him because of your well-known and
unassailable virtue. Express conf
dence in him and help him to stick
to his good intentions.
Why should not one resolve to for
sake ones bad habits on the first
day of the year? Why should not
one resolve to forsake them on any
other day? Having made the resolve
and entered upon the effort neces-
sary to carry it out, why should one
be the subject of jests, since there is
nothing foolish nor dishonorable in
trying to improve ones methods of
life? If the school of experience
teaches valuable lessons, as every
one knows it does, why should not
one profit by these lessons? Habit
is mainly relic of youth and ig-
norance, so far as it is not formed
on good models or by the firm hands
of wise elders. To improve ones hab-
it's from year to year is the valuabl
privilege of the man or the woman
who has been learning lessons in the
| worlds academy of hard knocks. To
take no advantage of those lessons
| is to write ones self down fool.
Pity, therefore, the man or the wom-
| an who never swears off.

STORY OF A FAMOUS POEM
6ow Gray's "Elegy" Made Its FRS
Public Appearance.

How Gray's "Elegy'' Made Its First
Public Appearance.
One Of the most celebrated of eight
zenith century poems, Gray's .'.Elegy,"
made its first. public appearance in the
shape of hurriedly printed pamphlet,
which was sold for sixpence. This pub
LEGATION was the result of curious
race for priority. Gray completed the
poem some time in 1850, but had no
immediate intention of publishing it.
A copy, however, found its way into
the hands Of Mr.. Owen, the publish
er' and proprietor Of the Magazine of
Magazines, a recently established peri.
odical, and he wrote to the poet stat.
Ing his intention of printing it in his
magazine, and asking his cooperation
The proposal was not at all agreeable
to Gray, but, seeing that publication was
inevitable, he wrote at once to Horace
Walpole explaining the circumstance
and asking him to get Dodsley to print
It Immediately, but without the au-
thor's name. Walpole handed the
poem to Dodsley on Feb. ~, 1851, and
vi IAO SOIA a SOpJ was III OIdy uduuS
at Cambridge, so that it was probably
published in London on, the 18th or
10th. The Magazine of Magazines for
February, according to the then GUS
tom, was published toward the end Of
the month, and may have come out on
the same day. The rival editions must
have appeared, it is pretty safe to say,
within few hours Of each other. The
action of the magazine editor was,
hardly justifiable, but it laid the read
ing world under debt of obligation!
by forcing the poem into print. Sew
eral original copies Of the "Elegy'' in
the poets writing are in existence.
One, which was sold for $1,15OZ at
Sotheby's in 1875, was especially in
teresting from the number Of correc-.
tions and erasures made by the au-5
thor's hand. In this manuscript Gray
had substituted Cromwell and mil.
tom for Caesar and "Tully" as he had
originally written. His friend Mason
is said to have suggested this altera-
ton as well as the title Of the IAoem.

A WEAK HEART,
Hill Climbing or Stair Mounting
Will Strengthen the Organ,

Will StTCnSthen the OTKAn.
1t is not many years ago that the be-
lief prevailed that sufferer from
heart disease was in constant peril
whenever he moved and that the nearer
he approached absolute rest the better
it was for his heart. This is still true
in respect to certain forms Of heart dis
ease-those due to actual disease or de-
generation of the heart muscles-but
when the disease is in the valves, as it
is in the majority Of cases, the modern
teaching is that properly regulated ex-
ercise is beneficial. This is founded
upon the common sense view that the
heart is like other muscles in that it
can be strengthened by exercise to
meet increased calls upon it.
When the valves of pump get out
of order, it requires greater force to
move given quantity of water. If
this force can be applied, it will make
up for the defect in the valves. The
same principle holds good in the case
Of the diseased heart; the valvular de-
feet must be made good-"compensa-

essay increased strength in the heart
muscle.
The heart must be able not only to
meet the ordinary, everyday. extra
strain-this it does automatically, as it
were, by the unaided efforts of nature
but it must be stronger than neces-
sary, just as. it is in health, to meet
some extra strain caused byfillness, a
sudden nervous shock or some abso-
lutely necessary exertion.' 1t is evident,
therefore, that a diseased heart must
to assure the safety of the patient be
strengthened beyond the requirements
Of quiet life. ,
This is accomplished in various ways,
but none is better for the purpose than
hill climbing or stair climbing, the for.
mer for pleasant days, the latter for
bad weather. The exercise should, Of
course, be taken under the direction Of
a physician, for it can easily be over
done, in which case one Of the bad con-
ditions against which it is the object
Of the exercise to provide will be arti-
ficially produced and the heart will be
overtaxed before it is strong enough to
withstand the extra strain.-Youth's

GOOd-By, Old Year.

The minutes are flying. the Old Year is

clock will chime,
When the year. bent and gray, will pass

And the New Year will come in the foot

For that emblem of childhood is waiting
for ALL;
And when in old age you will pass from

The snowfiakes will cover the place
where you fall.
For many you hold what is dearer than

We will never forget you. although you

Bede on the Timber and Stone Act.
Congressman-elect Bede does not
think it would be wise to repeal the
timber and stone claim act and also the
communication clause of the homestead
act. He says: "Ostensibly this is in
PRODUCED for the purpose of preventing
the national domain from being COB
bled up too quickly, but have no
doubt whatever that it is in reality
brought up to enhance the value of
scrip held by certain large interests.
Should the bill be passed the only way
to get land quickly would be by the
use OF scrip, and it's value would then
be materially increased. In the event
Of the bill becoming law, this scrip
would be sought and used to cover the re-
naming public lands. This would work
to the advantage of the large interests
that are able to control the scrip, and
would shut out the small fellows alto
gether, unless they were able to follow
out the regular provisions of the home
stead law.
''The timber and stone act was
passed in 1878, as I now recall it, ap-
plying to certain Western states, but
it was not extended to Minnesota until
later, in 1892, I believe. It should
have applied to this State on it's orig
inal passage, as it is the most equitable
land law ever devised for the rough
timber belt of Northern Minnesota,
and If other states are ready to have it
repealed, our representative in con-
gress should see that it's application is
continued as to Minnesota until all our
lands are taken up. 81
''This is the only law under Which
the everyday American citizen, with
out lying or subterfuge, can secure his
fair share in the public domain. It is
he who makes countries, and if there is
a dividend to be declared he should be
counted in among the stockholders.
'"To also repeal the communication
clause of the homestead law would, so
far as we are locally concerned, be very
much like sentencing the claimant to
five years on the stone pile. This may
possibly be necessary as to certain
classes of criminals in our courts, but
it ought not to be applied to Minnesota
settlers by congress-.

INCUBATION IN ENGLAND.
1t Was Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
Who introduced II

1t was Lady Mary "Ortley MOntagu
Who Introduced 1t.
1t was Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
who first introduced incubation for
smallpox in England. While residing
In Belgrade in 1717 she saw the Turks
practice 'engrafting," as they called
it, to produce mild form of smallpox
and stay it's ravaget~ She examined
the process and. being convinced of its
efficacy, applied it to her three-year. old
son. On her return to England she
introduced it in London. At that time
it was computed that one person in ev-
cry seven died Of the smallpox. Yet
she was opposed by the entire medical
faculty. By order of government an
experiment was made upon five per-
sons then under sentence of death, and
it proved perfectly successful.
But instead of Lady Mary being ac-
knowledged as a public benefactor
she was prosecuted with the most re-
lentless hostility. The faculty rose to
a man against her. Even the clergy
descanted on the awful impiety of seek
ing to take events out of the hands of
Providence. The common people We're
urged to boot her as an unnatural moth
er who had risked the lives of her own
children. However, the Princess of
Wales, afterward Queen Caroline, stood
her friend, and truth and reason finally
prevailed. 1t was about the year 1852
that Lady Montagu was honored by a
monument erected to commemorate
England's gratitude to her for intro
ducing incubation.
DIR. Edward Jenner substituted cow
poX incubation in 1899. He lived to be
rewarded by parliament by a grant of
100000 and later by a second grant of
100000, and in 1853 statue was
erected to him in London. Only bare
credit was vouchsafed to Lady Mary
Wortley Montagu, who bore all the per-
secution without any of the pecuniary
reward she was entitled to and by nc
means fair share of the glory.

First Justice to Wear Gown.

"Few people, venture to say, even
in high official positions, know what
justice first wore the gown in the SUI
preme court of the United States" said
an authority on the subject recently.
"When Justice John Jay took the office,
he thought the members of the su-
preme bench should wear gown of
some sort. Accordingly he appeared
in his own academic gown, which he
wore by virtue of having received a
degree from the University of Dublin,
or, as it was then known, Trinity col
lege.' 1t was a tricolored gown too.
Such a garment would look peculiar
now, since the black gown has been
adopted. Washington Post.
