some of the boys spent their time at
the pool rooms in the city, succeeded
in closing them for the time at least
An anti-cigarette pledge is also be

Other parties having hired our rooms,
we were obliged to seek new quarters,
and are now pleasantly situated in
new rooms in the Alien building, tho
rs yet no arrangements have been
made for keeping them open all of the
time. One of our best workers, ana
charter member Of the Union, died
this year, Mrs. Erastus Haskell. A
good Illustration of what our workers
aim TO do is told of st. Elizabeth OF
Hungary, whom Murillo has immortal
lied in his wonderful paintings, which
represents this queen OF the 18th cen
fury in the act of minstcring to the
filthy and diseased. She established
a hospital. in which she herself per-
formed the duties of nurse. In the
picture referred 10, Elizabeth stands
at the entrance to the palace, receiving
the sick and out-aSt. With her own
hands she is washing the head of a
repulsive looking boy, while her at

There is also the legend of the Holy
Grail-thc cup which Jesus drank at the
last supper. According 70 tradition, this
cup was lost. and it was a favorite enter
prise of the knights Of Arthur's court to
lightful of the stories of this quest is that
which Lowell tells in his Sir Launfal."
through fierce storms rode the brave
young knight, till youth turned to agc
and his hair was gray. At last after a
vain search. he turned hOmcWard, An old
bent man, worn out and frIil, with raj
mont thin and spare. AS he drew on
there lay a lepcr, lank and wan. covering
beside him. For Christs sweet sake. 1
beg an aims the leper said. Sir I.a,In
fal saw in the beggar an image of Jesus.
HE parted in twain his single crust,
re broke the ice on the streamlct's brink
And gave the leper to eat and drink"
Suddenly light shone about the place
THE leper no longer crouched at his side,
But stood before him glorIied,
Shining and tall and fair and straight
AS the pillar that stood by the Beautiful
Gate"
Sweetly now he spoke as the knight
listened
I'm many climes, without avail.
Thou hast spent my life for the Holy
Behold, it is here,-this cup which thou
Didst fill at the strcamlot for me but
now:
This crust is my body broken for thee,
This water, His blood that died on the
tree;
The Holy supper Is kept indeed
IN whatso' we share with, another's need
Not what we give, but what we share
For the gift without the giver is bare:

Generous Spirit Shown by Riverside

Riverside Sunday school began a new

at the close of the annual exercises. the
pupils have been presented with candies.

on old Santa and the children will do some
presenting themselves.
1t was proposed by Superintendent Es-
terly before Sunday school yesterday, that
each class agree what it would do to make
some persons lacking necessarics of life
OmfOrtable. The result was surprising
to the officers and to the tea cheers. The
children proved to be large hearted and
voted large supplies of flour. canned meats
and other articles of food, which they
agreed to furnish.
The little ones in the primary and inter-

Mabie, who is making tour of ten cities
in the east and west reported that evan.
geliZatiOn was the great necessity, of the
Baptist church. While he did not wish to
take on the tone of the pessimist, he de-
clared that the clergy must do more work
and more vigorous work, for church at

and would continue to decrease unless i'm

A GOOD ROADS BILL
Legislative Committee of the State
Good Roads Association Dis
cusses New Laws.
Suggestions From the 0lmsted Coun-
ty Association Are Endorsed as
Eminently Sensible.

The several members of the Legislative
committee of the minnesota Good Roads
association met to-day at the office of
County Surveyor c. W. Cooley to prepare
for an active campaign. Among these
present were G. w. Cooley, w. R. Hoag,
James Il. Elwell City Engineer G.. W.
Sublette, G. Anvil and others. Repre-
sentative Lawrence Fl. Johnson who is a
candidate. for = the speakership of the
house was also present. He, is himself
good roads enthusiast and if he is
elected speaker, the good roads movement
will secure a big impetus by having a
friendly committee g.
The committee first took up a series Of
recommendations from the Olmsted
County Good Roads association. These
were found so useful and sensible that
they were" adopted and will be embodied
in 4 bill which the state association will
have prepared as soon as the committee
has made it's report. One proposition
calls for the repeal Of the law providing
for labor on the country roads and the
substitution of a system which will make
the road tax payable in cash.
The committee adopted the suggestion
that Migrants and convicts be employed
in preparing material for road building.
The committee after some debate adopted
the suggestion Of state aid for read con-
strnction and the appointment Of state
highway commission to have general
supervision over the road work

there was no need to bother with a wide
tire law. 1t was gradually iawning upon

in every way in wide tires and that then

HILL MAKES DISCLAIMER
He Says Chicago Interviews Were
Faxed But Has Ideas on
Over Booming.

James j. Hill denies the sensational
chicago interview of Saturday. He saws
no one interviewed him in Chicago, though
three: articles appeared in three different
papers Mr.. Hill said yesterday in st.
Paul:
The business ofSthe country is under
going REIMBURSEMENT to meet changing
The most alarming thing is
the decrease in our exports. We are inn
porting much more than we export
NO. this is not due to a larger home
consumption. 1t. is because our articles
cost too much. Our people demand better
things than those of other countries, and
our production has been overtaking the
needs Of the country too rapidly The
things we manufacture cost more than
other nations will pay, and they buy else
where.
Agricultural products, provisions and
such products sell everywhere readily, and
are staple the world over. They are not
affected by local conditions. e.. :.
mo. I do not look for the production
of articles of a cheaper kind to meet the
demands Of the export trade I don't
know what will be done. It is hoped that
some adjustment will be made to meet the
conditions. There is too much speculatio
now too much boom Just how it will
come out I do not know"
