A BEACON LIGHT FOR YOUTH.

George Washington has gone somewhat out of fash

ed as requisite to there is an ndispositon to
follow the lines laid down for himself by the man whose
lite and accomplishments should serve as the guide and
beacon Of youth and manhood.
1t is not to be doubted that there are living TODAY
boys quite capable OF assuming the role made famous by
the immortal George in the cherry tree incident But
that because it is still possible for boys to be bows
Even the corrodng influences of the times have nor VET
reached extreme youth and might be better for the
rising generation might contribute to better and clean

perSlstently held up before the youth of the day
The disposition to commercialism has put Washing
ton out of cOuntenance And yet it is to be doubted If
boy could have better training for the commercial life
than close study of the life of the Father of His Coun
try For Washington was above all things else notably
good business
By adherence rules of conduct which he laid down
for himself and which contained all the essential Gle

the conduct of large and varied interests and vet he
never permitted his private affairs interfere with his
duties as citizen the promptngs of his patriotic
heart lie was the most conspicuousy successful man
OF his time, looked at from any point of view.
Arguing from this material standpoint it would be

SHAMELESSNESS OF ST. LOUIS.

Minneapolis may take comfort It's "Shame" was
paraded before the world issue of McClures
Magazine, but partial reparaon by comparison is made
IN the March number of the publication. Mr. Lin
coin Steffens who wrote the "Shame of Minneapolis"
for McClures has article in the last number on the
"Shamelessness of ST. Louis" In the opening para
reformed which puts it in rosy contrast with ST. Louis
which doesn't want to reform
The article ST. Louis emphasizes the fact that
large number of wealthy business men and bankers of
the city prOfed by the footing and made every effort
thwart the prosecution of the municipal thieves Some
thing of this kind developed in MINNEAPOLIS
but fortunately for the reputation of the snrched
as was, no number of supposedly respect
able citizens engaged in the effort to shield the
tionists
When the corruption Of officials of Minneapolis was
proved in court the convcts deprived of official po

OF that city sit four either convicted and under SEN
tence sefconfessed boodlers The laws DELAYS and
loopholes enable these convcts administer the af

extent of passing appropriation enable the attor
ney who convicted them to further prosecute the cases
against their pals.
And through it all St. Louis joys along unconcern-
edy as If nothing had happened caring that she is
Infamous in the sight of the world. Exposure of the
most gigantic scheme of municipal crookedness ever
known was not followed by of popular indgna-
ton, not followed by effort overthrow the gang
guilty of looting the city of millions.

HIS VALENTINE.

My valentine I seize my pen.
To write to you the yearly verse;
shall not tune my Tyre again
To raptures which my soul immersed
Nor sing the archness Of your look
| shall not praise your sapphire eyes,
All, no! chant your bread and pies,
My valentine. for you can cook!
My valentine, love the glow
The ruby glow so softly spread
Upon your tempting, velvet cheek.
When you have been a-baking bread.
Your hair is golden. thick and fine,
In cleaning coil, and curl and loop.
And best of all, on, one divinel
I never find 1t in my soup!
My valentihei Let others write
Their lyrics to your hands and brow.
Your biscuits are as feathers light,
Your cakes are tempting, anyhow.
Let others sing your charms so sweet,
With poetasters' gentle art
For me, the things you make to eat
Have won the highway to my neart.

OUR DISPLAY AT ST. LOUIS.

The 81 be is quite of opinion with the Joint
committee of the legislature that 100000 is enough
money for the Minnesota display the worlds fair to
be held in St Louis That of money judicously
and economically used, will provide an exhibit ADEQUATE
in every respect.
There is an element Of doubt as to the utility and
prohtabeness of such exposions the one to be held
Ihe United States whole isn't in need of population
IN excess Of the normal increase, and an exhibit Of
American goods III the United States not seen by
pie want for customers. The number of foreigners
coming to St. Louis to the fair will be an ininites
NAL traction of the whole attendance In the first place
foreigners haven't the money to travel on and if they
had they would prefer to go Paris, Berlin London or
some other European capital. When mddle-cass for
e1gners come to the United States they come to STAY
bringing with them their worldly possessions
AS spectacle for people of course the
fair at ST Louis will be great event 1t has been ten
years since there has been display of proportion
as to enttle to be called national affair Since then
the people have become better off, they have money 70
spend now, and many hundreds of thousands even mil
lions, will take holiday trip to ST. Louis
Minnesota, of course, should be adequately repre-
sened but not gaudily goregousl That such repre-
senation be had for the sum of 100000 is conf
IDENTIFY believed The fact that prosperous times
all the more for guarding against extravaganza
and the reckless of public money. 1t would not be
bad idea for the legislature to provide as possible
against the possibility of deficiency bill for the fair
exhibit and make condition that contracts for the
expenditure of money of the appropriation can
be made.

be sure and come right to the House.
Sanford saw a very pink Week ahead
of him. He was not very Strong for

Sanford tried to get a Line on Cous-

by the Picture in the Family Album
that Lafe was Pure Character and
somewhat of a Rube. He wore White
Tie and had his Hair gunlned down
On his Forehead. He looked as If he
would like to be a Preacher but could
not quite make It. His open counte-

Once there was a Man living in a
Big Town and he had a Cousin whom
ne never had seen. Some people are
very lucky as to their Relatives.
The Man who lived in the Wicked
Metropolis was named Sanford and the
Cousin who lived out In the Woods
was known as Lafe, although his real
Name was Lafayette.
Every Christmas, Sanford would
send some kind of a stingy Gift and
then Lafe would retaliate by shipping
in a fat Turkey for Thanksgiving.
There was a formal Exchange of Let
ters about twice per Year.
Sanford was a good deal Upset one
day to receive Word that Cousin La
fayette was coming to spend a Week.

WHEN RupYARp WRITES.

When Kipling takes his pen in hand
He may turn out a screed
That will be seen in every land
And mighty kings Will heed.
He may produce a vagrom rhyme,
With every grace bedight,
But what he writes at any time
Will please the Kiplingite.
It may be something which will ring
With bugle and with drum,
Where dusty soldiers hoarSely sing
Their chorus as they come;
It may be something sonnet like,
All fanciful and light
Whatever theme his pen may strike
VIII suit the Kiplingite.
When Kipling takes his pen in hand
He looks across the world,
And when the broad expanse Is scanned
The Ink is swiftly hurled.
Kings on their thrones or wlfey's kin
Are equal in his sight,
He may be sage or harlequin
And please the Kiplingite.
