FRIGHrfUL EXPERIENCE
OF a Young Lady-Her Escape
and the Lesson Taught.

A young lady in Morristown, N
D., grasped the guy-wire on the
electric-light pol. in front of hel
fathers house, to see If she could
get a slight shock. Her hand was
suddenly contracted by power
full current which swept through
her body. The young girl scream
ed in agony. She writhed and
twisted and fell to the ground, but
she could not relax her hold upon
the live wire, which was burning
her hands, for she had reached up
with her left to tear the right hand
away. Men and boys ran toward
her, but not one dared to put out a
hand to save the girl. Then her
mother ran out. "Oh, mamma, y
cried the girl, ,'save me- My
hands are burning up!' The
mother quickly grasped her daugh-
ter around the waist, but was hurl-
ed to the ground as if by blow of
a club. Finally man came up
with presence of mind enough to
take an AK and sever the wire. He
was in time to save the girls life,
but she was fearfully burned. The
incident suggests tragedies that
are taking place every day before
our eyes, Many people are willing
to tamper with sin, and run the risk
of slight shock. A boy likes to
drink glass of wine that it will
make his nerves tingle, and many
are asking themselves, how far can
l go in the wrong way without be-
ing overthrownp That is the way
the devil fishes for men and wom-
en- People grasp his wires and
get slight shock, and only laugh
at danger; but some day they take
hold of live wire, that has all the
fire of hell in it, and they are struck
through rnd through with death.
1t is better not to play the DEVILS
wires at ALL. Wilbur Chapman.

the burnt offering began, then the
song of the Lord began also.''
He considered the sources of con-

TIE TRUE WEALTH
OF THE MOUNTAINS,
For Which All Should Strive.

We read of investments in oil
fields, in coal mines, in fire-clay,
in pine and cedar; yea, in all the
different industries that fill the
Golfers with that which "perisheth
with the using. These things,
verify, are not the true riches of
the mountains. The bright minds
and imperishable souls are the
gems which, when found and
brought into contact with CHRIS
tian education, will shine, not as
the glitter of gold but as home
makers and law keepers. Upon the
purity of the home, the intelli-
gence of the citizen, the consecra-
tion of the Christian, depend the
welfare Of this State and Nation.
Whatever tends to uplift woman
hood to ennoble manhood, to deep
en- the spiritual life, should be fos-
tered. This is the aim of our Mis-
sion Schools.
While men are sinking shafts
for oil wells, who will sink deep
the shaft of eternal life and open
up the fountain, of whose waters
if we drink we shall never thirstY
While capitalists are bridging
the streams, encircling the hills,
tunneling the mountains to make
easy highways for the traffic, who
will make a highway, way of
holiness, for the feet of our own
Anglo-Saxon brother, that he "may
not err thereinF'

Reforming Drunkards.

In dealing with "plain drunks''
Judge Riley, of the Lexington Pc
lice Court, follows a plan that
promises well for the cause of TEN
perance. When the one who is in
the habit of indulging to excess in
the FLOWING bowl' is brought be-
fore him he assesses the usual fine
and costs but suspends the penalty
on condition that the offender take
the temperance pledge in open
court. The proceedings are entered
on record, and a violation of the
pledge invokes the reinstatement of
the old fine and the assessment of
new one. Judge Riley has on
these terms administered the sol
emn pledge to number OF "old
soaks," on whom it appeared to
have the desired etfect.-Richmond

The Minnesota Women's Suffrage asso-

yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Warren Up

in Central park. Mrs. Upham stated that
both women and mems signatures were
desired for the petition and that the 41in-

further stated that because of the pc
culiar laws governing Minnesota, permits

panied the petition, send a copy of it to
every Women's Christian Temperance
union in the state.
The matter Of a detention house where
men and women might find a temporary
home after they left the work house until
they obtained employment was discussed
by the union yesterday. The members all
agreed that some home Of the sort was
necessary and as a body expressed their
approval of it. They realize, however.
that it was really a matter for the city
or county as whole to take action upon.

WIDESPREAD FAME
LEGE HAS A WORLD REP
UTATION
TRIBUTE FROM OTHER STATES
Students From East and West At
tended the Dairy School Last
MOnth-What They

Booker L. Washington, the noted negro
educator, president of the Tuskegee Nor
NAL and Industrial institute, recently ap-
piled to President Northrop for negro
graduate Of the Agricultural college who
will be able to fill the chair of agricul-
ture at the Tuskegee school, as was
noted in T h Glob at the time.
Thus far no colored man has complet-
ed the course at the agricultural college,
although there are several cOlored stu
dents in attendance at present. The fact
that Mr.. Washington looked to Minneso-
to to supply his need in this respect is
a high tribute to the Minnesota School
of Agriculture, and indicates how extern
sively it's high rank is recognized.
Such indications are not lacking at any
time. Some years ago a representative
of the Japanese government took a
course and graduated from the agricul-
turaI school to return to Japan to in
struct his countrymen in practical agri-
culture. Assistant Dairy Commissioner
B. D. White has just completed his
four weeks dairy school at the agricul-
tural college with unprecedented sue
cess. There was a very large attend
ance, many coming from far distant
states. There was a student from Mas
sachusetts, one from Illinois, one from
Nebraska, one from Washington, and
several IIOn OIIt6E states EdSC anu w est.
No person is admitted to this dairy
school institute who has not had at least
one year of practical work. The most
improved methods of butter making are
practiced here, and the benefits derived
cannot be over estimated.
The gentleman from Boston was asked
why he had journeyed SO far to take so
short a course, and replied: II made
careful investigation to discover which
state offered the best in the line of prac-
teal dairy instruction, and found that
Minnesota had the best record, so I came
here. I am more than satisfied now
that I came to the right place. In the
East Minnesota is looked upon as the
leader in this department.
The same story was told by others from
outside states. They all said that upon
inquiry they had been recommended to
come to Minnesota in preference to any
other state.

PLAIN LAMPS TO co
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS GIVES
ORDERS FOR SUPPLY OF
WELSBACH MANTLES
CHANGE TO BE MADE AT ONCE
Recent Complications, and Saving
From Period of Darkness,
Make This Step
Possible.

AS soon as an order issued by the
board Of public works yesterday can
go into effect, every plain gas lamp in
the city will be equipped with a Wells
bach mantle and hood, similar to the
arrangement that now exists on Summit
avenue.
The lighting muddle now on and the
money saved in consequence Of the city
being partially in darkness the past
month is responsible for the order, the
board having figured that the difference
in price between the old and the new will
be amply met by the saving.
The order calling for the installation
of the new lamps was placed with the
st. Paul Gas company, and as soon as
the nantes and other attachments are
secured, the lights will be started. For
the plain lamp the city pays $23 a year,
while those with the incandescant ar
rangement will cost $29 a year. While
the plain lamp furnishes an eighteen
candle power light, the new arrange
ment will give sixty-candle power, and
the board figures that if the burden
becomes too great, the number of lamps
now in use can be reduced and the city
still be better lighted.
There are now nearly $500 plain gas
lights in use, and the work of convert
ing them into tncandescents will entail
an additional expenditure of over SIS coo.
Some Of this increase was provided for
in the budget, while the remainder will
