Early PiefY.

The command of God is to seek Him
early in life, and the promise is that
He will receive and bless those who
thus come to Him. Youth is favorable
to grace. The mind is not yet flied
with worldly things; habits are not yet
confirmed; associations are not yet set
tied. The child is more In sympathy
with the finer and more spiritual
things. because 1t is not warped and
perverted by the evil that surrounds 1t
and develops within. A life thus under
the grace OF God from childhood Is
purer and stronger in later years. 1t
has had solid growth and is firm In
Its texture and grain, 1t works up
into whatever 1t Is used for with more
beauty than II part was spent in sin.
1t is sweeter life, for there are no
memories Of sinful days which left
their mark on the soul. 1t is a life
nearer to that of the Child Jesus.

The Saving Power of Hone.

In our strong reaction from the pop
ular view Of forgiveness as the blotting
out of the inevitable consequences Of
wrongdoing, in our eagerness to teach
that character is salvation. we must
not ignore the saving power of hope.
Souls burdened by sin ana shame need
not be polluted to the law Of conse-
quences. What they need is something
to inspire in them new hope.-Presby-
terlan Banner.

 We Ce1ebrate--Good Purses Up.
 Everything is under full swing to make the celebration of the com ing Fourth of July, one that will g down ill the annals of local his- tory, as the most complete and sue cessfu1 event ever held on the lower river.
 The committee of arrangements, J. w. Duncan, Lynn Smith and Billy Porter have left no stone un- turned that would tend to make things pleasant all around and Joe Anicich and Geo Lane have col lected the money toward the purses to be competed for, from our local merchants, who have subscribed most ,liberally.
 Among the many events, one is almost sure to find some line in which he excells, and as the entries in each are free and can be made up to the last minute, it is antici- pated that each purse will be stub Do rnly contested.

RAILROADS AS HOSTS
How Storm Delayed Passenger.
.- Were Entertained.

Great Northern and Northern Pacific
trains from the coast which were block
AIDED by the blizzard, came in last night.
The railway companies were not blamed
for the delay, but instead received praise
for the manner in which the passengers
were entertained. Some of the passen-
gers were delayed six days, but had no
regrets save for the delay in business and
in the keeping of appointments.
On the Northern Pacific over a dozen
trains were stalled at Mandan at one
time. The passengers in day coaches
were boarded at hotels and the others
were served in the diners free of charge.
A bowling alley was leased for the benefit
of the patrons Of the road. L. NJ Stuart
of Milwaukee, who was a prisoner for
six days, praised the company without
stint. Several theatrical companies were
stalled who missed one-night stands, but
enjoyed life in the Pullman cars.
On one train was man on the way to
Indiana for the funeral of his brother
He was due in Minneapolis, Sunday, and
of course has missed the services.
C. S.. Wells tells of man who has a
grievance. When the 500 train pulled
into Minot the conductor announced that
the train would go no farther. p A man
was waiting who had purchased a ticket
for Minneapolis and expected to have the
conductor take his fare, thus compelling
the company to pay his hotel bill. This
he had to to pay himself, however.
. w. S. Jones, who took train at Devils
Lake, reports that many homeseekers
had started for their claims and undoubt-
eddy suffered much. Although they car
ried lumber to build shacks, they expected

The business manager Of the chlldren's
opera company, which will be seen in this
city next week, tells some interesting
stories OF the inception of this unique
idea, and Of some of the adventures which
the company has met in it's travels. Mr..
Pollard says:
My father, J. ]. Pollard, conceived the
idea Of children giving comic opera
through his giving childrens fancy dress
ball, in which the little ones appeared to
such advantage, representing peasants,
noblemen and all grades of people, and
sang and acted some small parts in lit
tie comedy in such a creditable manner,
that my father asked himself, cannot
these children do something in a profess
sional way? The idea reached maturity
in 1879, the first opera selected being
'Pinafore, which was then all the rage.
This presentation was an instantaneous
success and was followed by Les
Pirates of Penzance,' Patience and
other reigning favorites. The company
toured Australia, Tasmania and New
Zealand, and everywhere the children
made themselves favorites. 49,
'"Their first trip to India was made in
1882. From thence they went to Colombo,
in Ceylon, and then to some of the Chi
to Batavia, island of Java, and back to
Australia by the way Of Queensland.
I'm 1884 ]. J. Pollard died and the COM
pany was put under the management or
his sons, G. A. and Tom Pollard Since
that time the company has made con-
tinued success, though the prosperous
times have been interspersed with occa-
sional vicissitudes, through war, fire and
storms at sea.
''In a town in New Zealand named New
Plymouth, the theater caught fire few
hours after the company had retired for
the night in a neighboring hotel, and
they were awakened only in time to see
the fire lick UP their entire wardrobe and
personal belongings. The management
engaged the local hall, and the girls and
women constructed the scenery and ward
robe, and the company played The Mix
ado the next night as though nothing had
happened. On going from Melbourne to
Sydney on the Laura, we encountered the
worst storm I have ever experienced IN
thousands of miles of sea travel. To say
that was frightened, is putting it mildly.
AS she was 144 hours out, they had to
burn everything they could lay hands on
that would make steam, and that was
when our scenery and wardrobe went in
the fire again.
During the storm we were all locked
down in the saloon, and such a terrified
lot of children do not want to see again.
The main mast was carried away as we'll
as the cooks galley, including the cook,
and the balance of the voyage we ate
what we could get in the way of timed
meats and sea biscuits. The bridge was
also swept off, knocking the funnel into
old iron, and the men had no end of work
to keep the water out of the fire room.
1--WE sealed up bottles containing mes
sages and set them atloat, for no one ex-
pected to get on shore again. Sydney was
