Air: 1.-THE Watch on the Rhine
The priestly prayer and red mans cry
Are hushed. The embers fade and die
OF signals on the hilltops old,
OF huts of heroes yet untold.
Chorus
o, Minnesota! stanch and free
0. Minnesota! Mother, thee
We hold in steadfast loyalty, forevermore.
The ak, the plow, the mill-wheel, yoke
How quick the slumbering echoes woke.
And Peace and Learning, hand-inh hand.
Reared school and home throughout the
land.
Thy sturdy trees. thy teeming soil, -
Thy sons who fight, and pray, and toll!
Thy daughters, true as Northern Star,
Loud sing they all thy praise afar.
We love thy lakes, thy laughing streams,
Thy riffs of snow, thy sunset CLEANS,
Thy rivers clear, thy nurturing rain,
Thy meadows rich with golden grain,
o, Minnesota, fostering state.
o, sweet thy name! o, fair thy fate!
Firm stand thy sons in loyal band
And wait the beck Of Gods great hand.

Land did, that 'if you pay, YOU get.'
Once, during the first of his sightseeing
here, Mr.. Griffith found that truth con
cisely demonstrated. He was travelling
from New York to San Francisco, and on
the way fell into talk with quiet. pros
perous-looking American. He says:

Catskills and West Point. and then about

as amended will undoubtedly be ac-

stream gets what it demands; it never
does. but taking everything into con-
sideration. we have gotten even more
than we had any cause TO expect AS
the President of the Board Of Trade,
declares. "the credit belongs to DIR.
Ball" We disagree with his further
contention that there is anything to
show that we should have done better
had we had two senator's That we
need them no one doubts. but the fact
that Dr. Ball was able to secure
amendments whilo the bill was before
the Senate Committee, giving us in
creased appropriations. shows that his
influence is as great there as in the
House. .-..
There was some jubilation on the
part of the opposition press over the
fact that the proposed appropriation
for our river as passed by the House
would be imperative because 1t did
not can for a survey. The provision
which was inserted covering that

and although it may not be considered
by the Committee on the Revision of

clergymen wear boards? Closely as

OF it are minor questions as TO the cut
and length of the beard II worn, and
how far the fashion should follow the
requirements OF individual beauty OF

Gently recorded that one clergyman

sages, seers and philosophers wore an
abundance of whiskers- No one ever
thinks of one of the prophets without
a venerable beard. Try to imagine
jeremiah with a moustache and a

OF Elijah with face clean saving a
bunch on the chin. No; every sage and
prophet comes before our mental vi
