Humbly Born twenty-five Years Ago, It Has
Made Steady and Remarkable Growth.

in means of commandments fast
smail. the telegraph and the telephone
together with the wonderful machin-
cry invented for the making of news
papers-the perfecting web press, the
stereotyping process, the typesettlng
host Of minor inventions-have all
combined to save time for the news
paper. These things have made it
possible and practicable to gather the
news of the world and print it on the
same day. 1t is no longer necessary
to wait until the next morning. And
inasmuch as most of the great hap
| light. the reason for the success OF the
evening newspaper is plain. It is the
| Dan Patch of the newspaper world,
for it is not only the speediest Of them
| all, but it is constantly breaking its
own record.
The Policy That Has
Brought Success.
The Journal was founded in a
little city with u great future. It grew
with the city and with the territory
tributary thereto. 1t printed the news
accurately and also promptly. On this
foundation was It's success built solid
But. tho news is the foundation OF
every successful newspaper, it is not
all. The public requires character in
| it's favorite newspaper. This is ex-
hibited in it's attitude on public ques-
tons, it's independence from unworthy
or partizan influence, it's Jealous guard
ianship Of public rights and generou:
aid in public enterprise. Newspapers
being born of man, are humanity fall
lible. They make mistakes. But much
twill be forgiven them if they are hon.
est and Independent.
Whatever may be said of the policy
Of T h e J n a ] turnout it's ex-
istence and under varying manage.

from this pioneer, the fact that in 1858
there was a. Journal in Minneapolis is
interesting. Its sponsors were G.. II.
Petit and John G. Williams, and they
acquired a press on which to work
off their editions from the Gazette,
then just defunet. But the day had
not yet come for. the real Journal
and, before a year had elapsed, the
paper had gone the way of its pred
ecessors, while in it's place appeared
the State Atlas, with the famous
Colonel Williams S. King bearing the
responsibilities, Atlas fashion, on his
broad shoulders. He it was whose tai
ent for laundering won him the
sobriquet of "Thaunaaturgus. =

was to be born. The new paper first
saw the light of day just twenty-five
years ago to-day. It was on a Tues

The First Newspaper
Published in Minneapolis.
Judge Isaac Atwater, who is still
living in Minneapolis, and who, tho
an old man, contrives to visit his Of
flee in the Kasota building every day,
was the first Minneapolis newspaper
man, and he in 1851 founded the first
newspaper in what is now Minneapo-
lis. He called it the st. Anthony Ex-
press, and he edited it. for eight years
before giving up the unequal fight,
When the Express had Melted him a
loss of $4,000. he gave up the uncer-
tainties Of journalism for the more
certain emoluments of the law. He
soon became a member of the first SUI
preme bench in the state, and after his
service there was for years a leading
member of the bar.
Newspaper ventures were numerous
in those early days. and-strangely
enough-failures were almost as nu-
merous. One of these emprises was
christened The Minnea polls Journal,

GAIN THE GREAT EXPERIENCE
Let something High Enter the Soul
and Ii Will Ersancipate You from.
Lesser Attractions

In RaphaeHs picture of Peter in
prison the splendor of the angel
subdues the light of the torch and
OF the moon. And in the realm of
the inner life a. great emotion OF
love. ambition or devotion makes the
ordinary impulses of life pale and
dull. That was the philosophy to
which st. Paul constantly reverte ed.
1t was as If he had said: Gain the
great experience. Let something
high and noble enter the soul. and il
will emancipate you from all other
attractions. walk in the spirit, and
We shall not fulfill the Iusts of the
flesh" The point is not that the
great experience crowds out the low
err, on the principle that two bodies
cannot occupy the same space at the
same time, but that the great experi-
ence puts the others Into subordipa
ton In kaphael's picture the torch
sun burns. the moon still shines but
these injector lights become insig-
niiicant IN the glory that radiates
from the heavenly visitor. We make
a mistake when we put things out of
cur hearts by crowding them out.
especially if they have some right
there. That is the error of asceti-
clsm. What we want is to make them
take and keep their proper places.
AND that is to be accomplished by
the entrance into the heart of some
bright angel.-BuSton Waterman.

CHRISTIAN COURTESY,
There Is No Walk In Life where Tht.
Grace MRy Not Find Useful
Exercise.

There is politeness which springs
from the pit and another that comes
down from Heaven. Elattery, insin-
cerity, eXaggeration, are alike alien
10 the Christian life; but interest in
another's welfare, Difference TO an
others views and the wish to bright
en- another's path are all graces of
the Christian spirit. Christianity
fosters independence but condemns
boorishness; and Paul has rightly
been called 1.-The finest gentleman in
history"
1t is a remarkable Characteristic of
tine epistles of the greatest of the
apostles that he greets by name SO
many in the various churches to
which the letters are addressed. He
mentions the particular llindnesses
they have shown him, and the indi-
vidual services they have rendered to
the church of Christ. He indicates
his affection for certain of the breth-
rem who were older in the fellowship
of the Master than himself He re
members with loving commentator
those who had proven themselves the
hosts of friendless disciples. He does
not forget to name certain ones who
had put their own lives in peril for
his sake.
But we have a higher example to
follow than of the foremost of the
apostles; it is that of our Lord Him
self, who, in His letters to the vari-
Gus churches selected as representa-
tive, does not begin His message with
recital of their shortcomings but
with the enumeration of their good
deeds. He is not unwilling to go be-
yond their own modest estimates of
their own good deeds and to write in
letters of gold the story of their
otherwise obscure deserts
Whoever therefore has most of
Christ in himself will most exhibit
this heavenly trait lie will not for
get to acknowledge benefits con-
ferred; he will not be too busy TO
repay good intentions with loving re-
membranes; he will not let the
wife's heart starve for want of
gracious speech or the child grow
sick at heart for lack of parental en-
couragement. lie will make a good
neighbor, full of little attentions
which without being obtrusive make
fellowship sweet. He will be hospit-
able to strangers in the church.
Wherever he goes he carries the sun
shine of life which esteems others
better than itself and finds in others
good qualities which come to the pos
SCISSORS as surprises. There is not a
walk In life where this grace may
not find useful exercise, but most of
all is it needed in the home 1t is for
daily wear, not occasional displays;
for beneticent purpose. not for deco
rative exhibitions. 1t is as precious
as its counterfeit is cheap, and it is
the fit girdle with which to grid
about the soul 1.-The white robe which

wrong with this order, they do not

when 1T comes tn true, enduring. spir-
