children debt l can never pay. A
debt Of neglect and abuse for which I
can never forgive myself and for
which cannot ask forgiveness Of our
Heavenly Father"
"Hush, John, do not talk so," came
from the lips of bis wife "a she placed
one hand in his and nestled closer to
him. "There is forgiveness for all
who ask. The years Of which you
speak were bitter Oh so bitter, but
their sorrows only swesten the joys We
now have. Your noble resolve taken
two years ago and 40 faithfully kept
was inspired by the promptings Of
God in your heart and by mis- grace
and strength you have been able to
hold out against the tempter and joy
and peace IS ours. Let us give Him
thanks for all the good we enjoy"

Where viii It End7

Wages of laboring men and en-
ployees, IN almost every line of bus
mess, have been advanced lately, all
over the country, till there seems to
be a mania for the advancing of SAL
aries. 1t surely is healthy indica-
tion for the business interests and the
general good feeling Of capital to-
ward labor when the big factories
and railroad concerns give their en-
ployees liberal advances without be-
ing asked.
There is scarcely big factory or
large railroad corporation in the
country that has not advanced wages
within the last few months. 1t is
but right that the laboring man
should enjoy his share of the gener-
al prosperity along with the rest.
We notice in our own town, COM
mon laboring men are receiving bet
ter wages than they ever received
before. The prevailing wages for
common labor now is aoc per hour.
1t does seem that this object les
son to the great army OF laborors
should be sufficient to cause them to
see their own interests and stand by
the political party that has brought
about these favorable conditions,
and disregard the pratings of the
politician of either party that cries
tariff reform, simply for some polit-
ical benefit to himself regardless of
the general good of the country.

The Storm.

The high winds that prevailed in
this locality Tuesday night and
Wednesday were but the switch end
of the tail of the great blizzard that
prevailed in the Dakotas. That
country was swept by terrific wind
accompanied by drifting, driving
snow that blocked travel and shook
firm buildings to the foundation.
The storm swept over into Min
nesota and Wisconsin and down in
to Nebraska and Iowa and crossed
into Illinois. Illinois got heavy
snow with the storm and railroad
traffic is very much impeded. AL
though it is quite colo IN the far
north and rather chilly in this local
ity, the storm has not been accom-
panied by the intense cold that
sometimes prevails during such
storms and the suffering has been
light in proportion

Wreck.

The Katy bad quite a serious wreck
last Wednesday morning, between
Stark and SaYonburg, Two freights
came together on the main line at full
drive. 1t seems a good deal like the
engineers Thought they could pass on
the same track. The results were a
general smash up of cars of grain and
various kinds OF merchandise and six
or eight cars Of cattle. The fireman
on one of the engines was very serious
ly injured and will probably die.
Somebody has very seriously blunder-

Glad the Train Was Late

A young fellow was at the railroad
station at Drummond last week. waiting
for the Philipsburg train, which was
about ten hours late, and on which he
desired to go to Granite.
He had imbibed rather too freely of
the cup that cheers until he was in
stage of slopy inebriety-just weaved
and wabbled up and down the station
platform, half unconscious of his con-
dition and wholly oblivious of the sorry
spectacle he was making of himself.
His drunk, however, was of the
silent, dreary sort, and he talked to no
one.
He was spied by a good Christian
woman-one of the fussy sort generally
listed under the head of temperance
cranll-lil<ewise a passenger for the
belated train.
She thought him good subject for
missionary work and acCosted him,
when the following colloquy took
place:
She said, Say, mister, do you know
where you are going?'
"Yes'm, I'm going to Granite.
"Mabe you are, but you are also on
the road to hell"
"Well, madam" said he, "I'm dog
gone glad the tain's late. Philips
