During Lind's administration
the railroad commissioners of his
appointment did something.
They made a schedule which saved
southern Minnesota farmers
enormous amounts, and which was
accepted by the railroads; they
fixed reasonable rates for iron are
transportation, rates given up by
their republican successors. Be-
fore they had time to fully carry
out these and other reforms, they
were out Of Office: The men who
succeeded have done nothing, and
the present commission is the
laughing stock of the state.

reduction of over $105, 900, 600
from the year before and $112, 600, :

Wabasha Herald: February
IS, 1901, about two months after
Gov. Van SAINT was 1naugurated,
the United:States: Steel corporation
received it's charter, and on or
about the same day, the corpora
ton acquired the Duluth s. Iron
kange property and the Duluth,
Missile & Northern property.
The facts are open, authenticated,
notorious. They are parallel
roads, touching common points.
They are both entirely within
Minnesota.
These two lines run from Du-
luth, a lake port, up into the iron
country in the northern part Of
St Louis county, and the eastern
part of 1tasca county. They are
now owned and operated by the
steel trust, and no matter how
valuable the property owned by
an individual may be, he could
not operate it at profit because
of the exorbitant freight rates
charged. Why did not the gov.
ernor use his good Offices and the
Ipower of the courts for the pro.
lection of the rights of the people
in this matter on two railroad
lines wholly within the limits o.
the state from which they hold
their charter?

TWO NOVEL FLOWER BEDS.

doubt the selection of varieties was
designed to be the best possible.
The varieties (see the cut) were: (D
La Favorite, the double white; (2) Mrs.
E. &. Hill, single salmon; (3) S. A. Mutt,
double crimson; (4) Mrs. Francis Per-
kins. very superior double pink, and
(5) Athlete, a fine, vivid, single scar
let.
A very snowy and foriferous gerani-
UNI bed, rod in diameter, was
of the variety Dryden. 1t is
single flower, the petals being scarlet
and white in about equal parts or
stripes. I returned three times to have
another look at it, it was so striking
and peculiar. A Long Island florist
had an oblong bed of the new scarlet
geranium Pasteur. It is a brilliant
scarlet, of gigantic size of truss and
very free bloomer.
A very peculiar bed was small oval
ons of giant-leafed, copper-colored
coleus. The leaves were as large as
large plantain leaves. The prevailing
color was copper, with dull markings
o. lighter shades. In contrast the
gaudy colors around the bed were
pleasing, and I have no doubt this
strain of coleus will find a useful place
in artistic planting of lawns.
A large oval bed of cannas attract
ed my attention by the way it was
pla nted. It was in rows, gridiron
fashion, diagonally across the bed, one
kind in each row. This was great
improvement over the concentric ring
form, where an exhibit of several va
riches was made in one group. The
bed was large enough to show 20 or
more kinds. The arrangement is
shown in the cut.
I am not sure but geranium or CO.
leus bed planted in this way would be
more pleasing as change than the
concentric form.

curls as they looked ready for sale; she
wanted to see the box. While she was
admiring it and telling about Teddy,
and how the wine was doing him good,
the stranger with the gentle eyes ar
rived. He talked to the little girl for
awhile, then surprised the jeweler and
little Annie by bursting into tears.
'They've told you about Uncle Luke,
haven't they?" he asked.
"Oh, yes, Often" replied Annie. "He
is in Australia, where the bark falls off
the trees and the leaves stay on, and
where the birds have no wings, and ev-
erything is so queer!"
but what if he came home?"
"Oh, he WON'T" she said; mother
has lost him completely"
but he has come home. I am he"
Then there was what Annie called "a
time"
That was how it happened that just
as the doctor was praising Teddy's pa
thence, and saying how the wine had
helped him, there was a. great flutter
in the hall, and Annie bounced in, drag
glng big man with kind eyes in a
rough face by the hand.
my curls found him. It is Uncle
Luke, mother, and he has money
enough to buy my curls back two or
three times. I know, because he
said So"
And then there was much more of "a
time" And the doctor held Teddv's
hand while Uncle Luke told about his
long search for his sister, and mother
explained about fathers death and her
removal to the city, and how she lost
Uncle Luke's address and could not
get letter to reach him. Then they
talked about Annie's curls, and the
doctor blew his nose furiously and dug
at his eyes, and Annie heard him saw:
"Old idiot that am! I-guess I'll try
to see about way of getting wine
when I prescribe it again for a boy
whose mother has that frightened look
in her eyes,"
Annie tucked her little shorn head
under the Doctors arm and whispered:
"But you see how it was best, don't
you? My curls found so much for u.s.
they brought us an uncle. Just look at
mother; don't she look happy? Isn't
| a good uncle the best New Years pres
ent in all this world?"
Wine is good medicine when one
needs it, and Teddy improved rapidly
so rapidly that he was almost ready
to try the new sled that Uncle Luke
brought home to him on New Years
eve. As for Teddy's mother, the roses
began to tint her cheeks again, and
Annie was sure she was the prettiest
and best mother in all the world.--La-

the Philadelphia Times:

Mr.. Alexander Simpson had been
elected to the office of president of the
Philadelphia Bar association, his law
yer friends went to his house and Of
fered him their congratulations.
Mr.. Simpsons small son was in the
room, and for several minutes he
watched the scene with round eyes.
Then be. made his way through the
crowd until he reached his fathers
side.-
A gentleman had just said: II con-
graduate you, Mr.. Simpson," when
the newly-elected president felt tug
at his coat tails. Looking down, he
saw his son.
''Well, what is it, my boy?" he asked.
II love you, papa!" piped a tiny
voice, in reply.
Overcome with feeling, the father
lifted up his son and kissed him, then
set him down. AS the little fellow
trotted off the men nearest Mr.. Simp-
son extended their hands in silence.
Conventional congratulations some
how seemed out of place.

her mothers brighter than Christmas

streets revolving these thoughts in her
mind and wondering how she might get
the necessary wine she passed many =
gay scene.
Early evening had closed down on
the city, and all the shops were aflanle
with light and brightness. Annie gazed
wistfully at the, pretty things in the
great windows; she was but a little
maid, and could not help wishing for
pretty things for herself and for her
mother and Teddy.
But the wine-she must not linger:
she would only look in one more shop
and then-then she would seek the
great shop where wine was sold in bot
ties; surely the big, rosy-faced man
whom she had often noticed standing
in the doorway of his shop would listen
to her story of poor Teddy and give her
the wine.
So she stood before this last store-it
was jewelry store-and, oh, how
beautiful the jewels looked-sapphires
and rubies and diamonds-how they
glittered. The sight was enough to
fascinate older eyes than Annie's.
Presently something in one corner
of the window caught her gaze-it
wasn't a jewel, it was switch of love-
~ hair; not one, but several, and be-
low them in pretty, shallow, satin
lined boxes, were clusters of curls. A
sudden thought came to Annie; she
pressed her little hands together and
held her breath, then paused a mo-
ment to gain courage, and passed reso-
lutely into the great store. A kind
looking man came forward to meet her
and said: "What can do for you, lit
tie lady?"
''Do you buy hair?" she asked.
"Sometimes, little one; why do you
ask?"
"Will you buy mine? See, I have
Plenty!" she answered, taking off her
hat and shaking her curls down over
her shoulders, and looking up with
anxious eyes.
"But, my little girl, are your curls
yours to sell?''
"Oh, yes, sir; if you only knew why
1 must sell them, am sure you would
buy them. Teddy is so ill that he needs
things, and MOTHER and here she

A Good Resolution

One of the best New Years resolu.
lions we have heard of anybody maxi
ing is this: "Not to speak of mis-
takes which make no difference"
How often the harmony of the home
is destroyed by the persistent men,
Der of the household who will argue
halt an hour over the merest trifle.
If one holds an erroneous opinion
on a subject of any Importance it
should by all means be corrected.
But what possible difference does it
make whether Aunt Jane came to

Yet we have listened to heated dis.
putes that cast an ugly shadow over
on entire meal, or spoiled an even

more moment than the time of a
visit or the state of last weeks

accuracy of statement should be
carefully cultivated, lest a habit of
exaggeration or untruthfulness be

going resolution is worthy of gen.
eral adoption.-Helpful Thoughts.
