that we can help another into peace.
Jesus said again: MY peace ! give
unto vou.' He could give no other
peace but His own. Nor can we. So
long as we arc anxious, disturbed by
circumstances, vexed and perturbed
by our experiences, we cannot
help others into peace. We cannot
give what we do not have ourselves.
Therefore. if we would be real in
spirers and helpers of others, giving
out cheer, confidence and strength,
we must get the worry out of
OWL lives. This we can do only by
getting Gods peace. And this is a
lesson to be learned, not a gift to be
received. LEARN of Me- said Jesus,
"and We shall find rest" 1t is not a
lesson, either, to be conned in an
hour, like a line of the multiplication
table, but one that will take most
OF us years to master. Nevertheless,
it is a lesson we should take up at
once eeor only when we have learned
it will we be ready to begin truly to
live.

KISSED THE CONDUCTOR.
Who Remembered That He Had Once
a Little Girl, So. His Tears
Were Excusnb1e.

4 bakers dozen of little tots-all
girls-stood under the bridge, in the
charge of a young woman, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. Evidently they were
orphans waiting for a car to bear
them to the sea shore. In little white
bonnets and clean calico dresses,
they stood with cheeks flushed with
excitement and their eyes sparkling
with anticipated pleasures. They
looked as fragrant and were as pretty
as the peeping rosebuds in June. By
the by the proper a came along

had INSTRUCTED the passage Of his
car, and caught a glimpse of the
happy and expectant row His face
softened; he was off his platform in
a twinkling, busy with lifting the
little ones into place, all the passen-
gers looking on with interest and
smiles, and some assisting. AS the
last little tot was lifted into place
with a heavy sigh of satisfaction,
she lifted her little hand to pat the
cheek of the conductor, and her
crumpled rose leaf mouth to be kiss
ed. Everyone smiled sympathetic
cally. Then they saw the eyes of the
conductor fill, two tears coursing
down his cheeks. They smiled some
more with little lip quiyers. Awk-
wardly and hurriedly the conductor,
brushing the tears away, sought his
eyrie, and when there said out
loud: "I'm a big stiff, / know, but the

Armed Guards to Protect the
Ballot Boxes.

st. Louis, Oct. 19.-Rev. Ether Cof-
fee, pastor of St. Johns Catholic
church, preached a sermon, Sunday
on "Rum-Ridden and Ruffain-Ridden
Politics." in the course of which he
said:
"Arm those who are to protect the
ballot"
"Our politics have been controlled
by rumshop keepers of notorious
character and by ruffians connected
with these places"
ION election day prominent citizens
have found their names voted before
they appeared at the polling places.
Protesting, they have been roughly
handled, often injured, by the black
guards who infest the polling places"
"Will we stand by our respective
parties, irrespective of the character
of the candidate, or will we break
party lines and select decent men?'
evil we stand by Mr.. Folk (the
circuit attorney and show him we

THE DECISION OF MEASURE.
Human Standards Are Chiefly UsefuI
for Showing the Capacity Of
Those Who Set Them.

Every one carries with him a meas
ure to he. laid upon everything he sees
or handles. He does not say each
time he seizes a piece of money, a
book. or a promise: "Now I will
just lay my measure upon this and
find its worth to me-" Nevertheless,
declares Philadelphia Young People,
even without thinking the thing is
measured.
1t is this unseen that
makes the very same thing so differ
ent to different people. To one a
piece of money means food, drink,
hat, or coat. To another it means a
book, 8 lesson in music, OF an open
door to school. To yet another, it
means something for church, help for
a friend, or an offering to missions.
The painting ean a splendid work
of art TO one, an inspiration to larger
living to another, only a sum of
money to another. Even persons are
measured in the same way, and are
different to different people. Jesus
meant 30 pieces of silver to Judas, a
good man to the centurion, the divine
and reyered Christ to Peter.
The measure we use gives such de-
cisions on the things and persons we
touch. What we desire most decides
the measure used every time. If we
think the most of something to eat
or wear, we will use the food meas
ure on everything that presents it.
self. If we think more of money
than we do of friendship and love.
we will put the money measure on
those we meet. We will ask what
money or business advantage will
this person bring rather than what
friendship OF love.
Jesus said: with what measure
we mete it shall be measured
to you again." If we put a small and
low measure on what we meet we
shall get back the small and
low values. This is true of money,
of occupation, of friends. 1t is true
in every field Of work we enter. 1t
is true to-day and tomorrow. This
truth IS with us and we cannot get
rid of it. 1t does its work whether
we think of it or forget it. 1t carries
it's threat to every life and it has it's
splendid promise. It's work constant.
ly decides the limits and the kinds OF
profit in property and pleasure that
shall come to us. It makes us rich
or it keeps us poor.
By the use of this truth we decide
whether u eyes shall see few things
or many, common things or great.
Even what Jesus shall bring to us is
decided in this same way. He with
all His power cannot make His hope
and joy and life mean as much to the
n using a small measure as to the
one who has chosen a large one. To
be willing to follow His teachings is
to have our hearts led to choose and
to use the right measure for all
things. He knows their worth and
seeks to tell us the best for us.

me Appetite for sympathy.

What can be more unkindl than to
communicate our low spirits to others,
to go about the world like demons,
poisoning the fountains of joy? Haye
/ more light because I have managed
to involve those 1 love in the same
gloom as myself? Is it notlpleasant to
see the sun shining on the mountains,
vel though we havenone Of it down in
valley? Oh, the littleness and the
meanness of that sickly appetite for
sympathy, which will not let us keep
our sorrows to ourselves! Let us hide
our pains and sorrows! But while we
hide them, let themalso be spurs within
us to urge us on to all manner of over
flowing kindness and sunny hmmor to
those around US. When the verydark-
ness withon us creates q sunshine

AND TRUE.

To be right is better than to be ON
~sistent.-Wellspring.
There is no stay SO strong as an un-
reserved abandonment of self into
Gods hand.-H. L. Sidney Lear.
If we confess our sins He is faith
full and just to forgive us our sins, and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Il John 1:9.
Certain thoughts are prayers. There
are moments when, whatever be the
attitude of the body, the soul is on its
knees. What love begins can only be
finished by God.-Victor Hugo.
There are those who do not do all
their duty; there are those who pro-
fess to do their duty; and there is a
third class, far better than the other
two; that do their duty and a little
more.-Andrew Carnegie.
The finest candor may, and some
times does, coexist with the most dis
eliminating reserve. Friendship.
neighborly relations, even the closest
ties, are best conserved by some de-
gree Of reticence and withdrawal.
"Love thy neighbor," aptly advises a
recent writer, "but pull not down thy
hedges."-Young People.
People OF things can never hurt
us; only we ourselves have the power
to hurt ourselves" said an expert
enced Christian who had come through
a trying ordeal strong and sunny.
The only harm that is real is harm to
the character, and no agency outside
OF self is capable Of ~effecting this. 1t
is not Hfe's treatment of us, but our
treatment of Life that is important.

"JIM YOUNGER
BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.


st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 19.-James
Younger was the youngest of three
brothers, Robert, Coleman and James
Younger, who, between the years 1866
and 1873, gained great notoriety
through their association with Jesse
James. The band, headed by Jesse
James, was charged with innumerable
robberies of banks and railroad
trains, in the execution of which many
desperate encounters took place, and
q number of men were killed. The
members of the band had served
through the civil war, fighting on the
side of the confederacy with Guam
trell and his guerillas. The scene of
the most of their alleged post bellum
depredations was the state of Nilsson
ri and territory adjacent thereto, but
in September, 1876, the band entered
Minnesota, traversing the state as far
as the little town of Mortified, in
Rice county. There, on September 2,
after terrorizing the people on the
street, an attempt was made to loot
the First national bank. Cashier J.. L.
Haywood, who was in charge of the
bank, made a plucky fight to pre-
serve the funds of the institution
from the robbers, and during the n
counter a shot and killed, not,
however, until he had wounded one or
more of the raiders.
Pursuit of the Raiders.
The citizens of Mortified, quickly
recovering from the panic into which
the advent of the raiders had thrown
them, armed themselves and started
in pursuit Of the desperadoes who,
baffled at the resistance they had en-
countered, had mounted their horses
and were attempting to escape. A
week was spent IN their desperate re-

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 19.-James
Younger, formerly a member Of the
notorious James band of outlaws,
which infested the western country a
quarter of century ago, committed
suicide, Sunday, by shooting. He left
a letter to the press, in which he gives
as a eason for his act, dependency
over continued iIl-health and sepera-
ton from his friends. The suicide is
supposed to have occurred about eight
o'clock in the morning. Younger oc-
cupied a room in a downtown block,
and when he did not make his APP
pearance as usual search was made
for him. About five o'clock Sunday
afternoon the door of his room was
broken in and his dead body found
stretched on the floor beside the bed,
a revolver clutched in his right hand.
He had shot himself through the head
and evidently been dead for several
hours.
Younger, since his parole from the
state penitentiary in July of last
year, had led an exemplary life. His
first employment was as travelling
agent for a tombstone dealer, and O .
one of the trips he made about tie
state he was quite seriously hurt by
a fall from a wagon. Old wounds he
had received earlier in life also gave
him much trouble, and although he
soon obtained lighter employment, his
health was extremely precarious, and
this caused him much worriment. He
was "a years of age. The body was
viewed by the coroner, who decided
that an inquest was not necessary. 1t
is not yet known what disposition
will be made of the remains, some
doubt arising under the terms of the
parole as to whether the body can be
removed from the state.
On a bureau in the room was found
a long manila envelope, one side of
which was written:
ITO all that is good and true | love
and bid farewell.
Jim YOUNGER"
On the other side of the envelope
were these words:
"Oh, @lassie, good-by.
"All relatives, just stay away from
me. No crocodile tears wanted.
Reporters: Be my friends. Burn
me up. JIM YOUNGER"
The envelope contained a package
OF letters that had passed between
Younger and a lady with whom he IS
said to have been much in love. The
lady, who is prominently connected. is
sad to have reciprocated his affection.
and it was reported at one time that
they were to be married.
