County Takes Possession.

Contractor Robert BROKER took
possession Of the new courthouse
grounds yesterday morning. Before
he had made any perceptible change
in appearances he was intercepted
by Deputy Sheriff Burrows on be-
half Of the First National Bank of
Duluth and Jos. Borgeault of the
same city, creditors Of the defunct
Northern Building Co., through
their attorneys, Bushnell & Moses
and e. M. Lowry.
These creditors placed an attach
ment on the property at time of the
failure, and the action taken yester-
day was to contest the right of any
one to enter the Enclosure.
r. Meyer, Jr., chairman of the
county board, Dist Atty. Brown
and County Clerk Grifis within a
short time took official possession of
the disputed grounds, and through
Marshal Budworth served an order
on the sheriff signed by Judge Glenn
entson enjoining him from perform
ing any act on the grounds without
due legal performance.
Sheriff Watson refuses to have
anything more to do with the mat
ter unless the above named credi-
tors furnish him indemnity bonds Of

Mr.. BROKER again commenced
work of preparation to complete the
building. Further developments are
awaited with interest.

Nature never wears mean appear
ance. Neither does the wisest man
extort her secret and lose his curiosity
by finding out all her perfection Ma
ture never became a toy to wise
spirit. The flowers, the animals, the
mountains, reflected the wisdom of his
best hour as much as they had de-
lighted the simplicity of his childhood.
To speak truly few adult persons can
see nature Most persons do not see
the SUM- At least they have very SUI
perfcial seeing. The sun Eliminates
only the eye of the man, but shines
into the eye and the heart of the child.
The lover of nature is he whose in
ward and outward senses are still truly
adjusted to each other, who has re-
tanned the spirit Of infancy even into
the era of manhood. His intercourse
with heaven and earth becomes part
of his daily food. In the presence of
nature afwild delight runs throughthe
man in spite of real sorrows.
In the woods a man casts off his
years as the snake his slough and, at
what period soever of life, is always a
child. In the woods is perpetual youth.
Within these plantations Of God de-
corum and sanctity reign. perennial
festival is dressed, and the guest sees
not how he should tire Of them in a
thousand years. In the woods we re
turn to reason and faith.

CLANS for Twenty Years.

The Government Commissioner of
Fisheries has made report of sever
al years careful investigation of the
clam shell industry in the western
rivers.
He claims that clam beds were
found 81 feet in depth notwithstand-
ing the fact that thousands Of tons
have been taken from the beds,
there still remains an enormous
supply beneath the waters of the
Mississippi. The CLAIMS which have
been taken out were merely the
covering of large beds many feet
deep. It has been estimated that at
the rate they have been dug the
past five years it will take at least
twenty years more to entirely ex-
haust the supply.

On y e Su s

Jesus Christ belonged to the true
race Of prophets. He saw with open
eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn
by it's severe harmony, ravished with
it's beauty, ne lived in it and had his
being there. Alone in all history, he
estimated the greatness Of man.
Historical Christianity has fallen into
the error that corrupts all attempts to
communicate religion. AS it appears
to us, and as it has appeared for ages,
it is not the doctrine of the soul, but
an exaggeration Of the personal, the
positive, the ritual. 1t has dwelt, it
dwells, with noxious exaggeration
about the person of Jesus.
The soul knows no persons. It in
vites every man to expand to the full
circle of the universe and will have no
preferences but those of spontaneous
love- But by this eastern monarchy of
a Christianity, which Incidence and
fear have built. the friend of man is
made the injurer of man.
The manner in which his name is
surrounded with expressions, which
were once sallies of admiration and
love, but are now petrified into official
titles, kills all generous sympathy and
liking. All who hear me feel that the
language that describes Christ to Eu-
rope and America is not the style Of
friendship and enthusiasm to good
and noble heart, but is appropriated
and formal-paints demigod, as the
orientals or the Greeks would describe
Osiris or Apollo. Accept the injurious
impositions of our early catechetical
instruction. and even honesty and self
denial were but splendid sins if they
did not wear the Christian name.

BE A SUNBURST.


lance Of being cheerful, although ev-
"eryone capable of approaching any
thing values cheerfulness in others.
1t would seem that majority goes
around imbued with the idea that in
this vale of tears, gloom, fretfulness,
complaining and bemoanings are the
proper things.
"A recent arrival in this city, of wide
experience and extended acquaintance
in various walks summed up recently
in a'few words philosophy which he
finds Of exceeding usefulness in his
way through the world. 1t is worth
embodying in the plan of life of every
one who would be successful.
81 believe" says this modern phil
osopher," that even if I cannot wear
sunburst, can be sunburst."
The words convey their own meaning
Though man may not bein position
t TO dazzle by a display of diamonds
those with whom he comes in contact,
he may impress them with the fact
that all is we'll with him, financially
and otherwise, bya cheerful demeanor.
He may make up for his lack of ability
to scatter favors of more substantial
nature by sowing broadcast pleasant
words and CHEEKY greetings. He may
leave an acquaintance more pleased
with himself and capable Of taking
brighter, more wholesome view of life,
by well-chosen words Of encourage
ment and appreciation.
Of course it may be overdone. Elk
cess in this direction leads to syco-
phancy. But the danger line is
easily recognizable and as easily avoid
ed And the risk of erring in that di-
rection is worth running for the sake
of the good that may be accomplished
by diffusing an atmosphere of cheer
-fulness.
Perhaps in no one thing has there
been a greater change in compare
lively recent years than in that mat
ter Of cheerful demeanor. Time was
when the man who aspired to dignity
despised merriment Asperity was
thought synonymous with ability.
Austerity was mistaken for authority
Gloom was considered a necessary
corollary of goodness. 1t is all
changed and the world is the better
FOR the change.

the king and he announced that if the

should answer to the seer's description
of happy man, but many returned
with stories of real suffering and sor-
row among the subjects of the king
which served to teach him how

last one of the searchers espied a
rascally-looking fellow, tramping
along the kings highway, laughing
with the whole-souled laugh of one
free from care, whistling and singing
with the birds, revealing in the glorious
privilege oflife. The kings messenger
approached him, believing that if in
the dominion of his monarch there was
one who should be called happy, this
was he. The story of the quest was

Ethical Deductions
From EN- erSOn

Suppose a man is so unhappy as to
be born a saint, with keen perceptions.
but with the conscience and love of an
angel, and he is to get his living in the
world; he finds himself excluded from
all lucrative works; he has no farm.
and he cannot get one, for to earn mon
ey enough to buy one requires a sort OF
concentration toward money, which is
the selling himself for a number Of
years, and to him the present hour is
as sacred and inviOlable as any future
hour. Of course while another man
has not land, my title to mine, your
title to yours, is at once vitiated. In
extricable seem to be the twinings and
tendris of this evil, and we all involve
ourselves in it the deeper by forming
connections. by wives and children. by
benefits and debts.
The mind does not create what it
perceives any more than the eye Gre
ates the rose.
Temperament puts all divinity to
rout. I know the mental proclivity Of
physicians. I hear the chuckle Of the
phrenologists. Theoretic kidnapers and
slave drivers, they esteem each man
the victim of another, who winds him
round his finger by knowing the law Of
his being, and, by such cheap sign
boards as the color of his beard or the
slope of his occiput, reads the inventory
of his fortunes and character. The
grossest ignorance does not disgust
like this impudent knowingness.
Action is with the scholar subordi-
nate, but it is essential. Without it he
is not yet man. Without it thought
can never ripen into truth.
Let us affront and reprimand the
smooth mediocrity and squalid content
ment Of the times and hurl in the face
of custom and trade and office the fact
which is the upshot Of all history, that
there is a great responsible thinker and
that a true man belongs to no other
time or place. but is the center Of
things Where he is there is nature.
He measures you and all men and all
events.
