The Christian outlook is always hope
full. Christianity is conquering because
it is divinely alive 1t is the thought
Of Christ steadily growing into form
by the power of Christ. 1t is Christ in
human hearts, creating ideals and in
stitutions. 1t conquers error by light,
selfshness by love. despair by faith
the native downward tendency of hui
man nature by an infinitely mightier
upward tendency resulting from the
incarnation. Northern Christian Ad-
vocate

Gods angels drop like grains of gold
Our duties midst life's shining sands.
And from them, one by one, we mold
Our own bright crowns with patient
hands
From dust and dross we gather them;
We toll and stoop for loves sweet sake.
To find each worthy act a gem
In glorys kingly diadem,
Which we may daily richer make.

Justice Henry Rohlfing. of Pleasant
Prairie, is reported improved today.

diilC, Is reported improved To-Day.
Congress passed the omnibus bill
Tuesday. just before adjourning, but
the bill fails to contain any provision
for the purchase of a site for public
building for Kenosha. Nearly every
city in the State has been generously
remembered.
Mayor Michael Higgins has an.
nounced that he will not consent to
the use of his name as candidate for
the office of Mayor of Racine. The
Mayors little run for State Senator
seems to have turned his head against
any of the city offices.
The Strong bill fixing the salaries
for Mayors in all second, third and
fourth class cities has been killed.
This does not necessarily have much
to do with the general charter bill now
pending in which contains a clause
covering the salaries of the city OH
GERS. The comment of one State paper
says: This was wise act. The peo-
pie of the cities are capable of deciding
for themselves what salaries shall be
paid the city officers and it is unwar-
ranted interference for the Legislature
to attempt to dictate"
Eight out of the twelve members of
the Assembly Judiciary committee do
not smoke. All of the eight are law
yers, which caused Mr.. Bradford, one
of them, 10 remark that he had never
gotten so large company of lawyers
who did not use tobacco. Two years
ago the business of the Assembly COM
mittee on judiciary was transacted in
room blue with smoke. This year
there is no smoke in the room at all,
because the members who do smoke
rarely indulge, out of courtesy to those
who do not. The matter was made the
subject of comment,at the meeting of
the committee Tuesday, and it resulted
in the taking of collection to secure
a fund with which to purchase apples.
Herman Miller's crow bill is likely to
have an easy passage through the COM
mittee and through the Lower House,
not because the crow has no friends,
but because of the belief that the crow
is able to take care of itself to such an
extent as to prevent its determination.
The man who can shoot or in any way
kill an old crow will we'll earn the ten
cents bounty that the Miller bill pro-
vides, according to the farmer mem
bers who have frequently endeavored
to perform that undertaking. The
bounty will have the effect of precipi-
tating war upon the crow by the
farmer boy, as nest of crows eggs
will net him cents. The bill is likely
to be changed so as to eliminate the
bounty of cents each for young
crows, because the young man who
runs across nest of eggs will be more
likely to wait until the young ones are
Matched and reap the price of half d
dozen egg bounties than to surrender
the nest for single nickel. D

the several days runs, as they must
go first to the department
'.As a matter of fact, 1 have not
the data for the exact figures as yet,
he said. 1--WE have been up the last
three days and nights practically all
the time and have not spent much
time making estimates In round
numbers, we have covered 1900 miles
in nine days four and a quarter
hours
With this for starter it is seen
that the Kearsarge on the trip across
has logged on an average of ID 1-e
knots an hour. Capt Hemphin stated
that the best days run averaged
about Is knots, while the slowest was
10 knots. This was on the day that
the proximity of icebergs interfered
with speed.
During the entire trip Commander
Abraham P. Zane. the chief engineer.
scarcely left the engine room long
enough to sleep. No small credit is
due to Lieut.. William P. Pratt, the
chief navigator, under whose care the
Kearsarge hardly deviated hair
from the exact course in the trip
from The NEEDLES.
In going across the ocean to partici-
pate in the naval display at Kie1 the
battleship Kearsarge made the best
speed for the distance ever made by q
battleship The route from New York
to The Needles, 3,245 miles, was trav-
ersed without stop for any cause at
an average speed of 1852 knots an
hour, IA to Is knots an hour being re
corded for the final two days. Capt
Joseph N. Hemphill, the commanding
officer, has had experience in speed
ing ships. He commanded the Buffa
10 when it established the thirty-nine
day record from Manila.

1--WE had a good trip, but I can inn
agine circumstances under which We
might better it considerably. In fact,
but for few untoward happenings
we would have come across under
nine days. AS it is, we are about
four and a quarter hours over nine
days Our orders told US to go from
The Needles to Mount Desert rock
under natural draft. We had fair
weather most of the way, but we en-
countered one gale, about a fifty mile
gale and also some trouble from fog
and icebergs. We were obliged to
slow down considerably on account of
the latter, and one day averaged only
about ten knots We also lost a trif1e
of time in picking up the rock.
''The officers and men have all done
their full duty and worked with a will.
They are considerably tired. sut il
they had the orders they would
cheerfully steam back again.
1.-The Kearsarge is in excellent con-
dition, save that it is dirty, as we
took on a deckload of coal on the
superstructure deck and we have
traces of that with US. We arrived
just about the time 1 anticipated, and
SO far as everything but coal is con-
cerned could go back just as well and
rapidly. We had 1,64O tons OF coal
when we left England, and now have
400 tons in the bunkers. This would
be enough to last four days under
economical steam. The trip at this
time of the year, could be made much
more rapidly if we were going from
Mount Desert Rock to The Needles
rather than the other way, as we en-
countered head winds, head currents,
and head seas

The poIitest attention.

chickens were sent in to her by neigh
bors that she lived high without buy
ing much, and the women were SO
kind about dressmaking that her
clothes cost her next to nothing.
About so people were on the tip-toe
of expectation regarding the will. 1t
was the largest funeral ever known in
Branch county. The woman had made
her will and was dead, but 1t seemed
as if some folks hoped to come in for
something by attending the funeral.
There was weeping at the house
something of a rivalry between GER
tain women as to who should weep
the hardest-and there was weeping
at the church. The mile-long funeral
procession moved at a slow and dig
nified pace and there was no undue
haste to get back home.
The executors named did not live
in Rosedale at all, but they were on
hand to let the provisions of the will
be known.
