reveille of the morning. They should
hear the Lenten call which says to the
clergyman, "Oh, ordained undershep-
herd Of the Christian pulpit, down on
your knees and prayw Lent calls to
the elders and deacons and Sunday
school officers, Down on your knees
and prayw 1t calls to the lay members,
whether bediamonded and in silks or In
humble homespun, Down on your
knees in prayerw Oh, that we might
all heed the spiritual Lenten call and
make Christ's church veritable "house
of prayer"
Thus, my friends, the spring fast
calls to the men in the social world
and to the men in the home and to the
men in the church to come to prayers.
1t calls at this time because on the
coming Of Ash Wednesday we shall
celebrate the beginning of one of the
most triumphant and yet saddest times
of all Christ's earthly existence. The
Jordanic baptism was just over Christ
was about to begin his divine mission.
We know not how far the human ma
ture he assumed may have obscured
for the time the divine attributes he
possessed. 1t may be that in those for
ty days of solitary thought and prayer
he realized more clearly than in his
former years the sublimity Of his work
and Of his sacrifice. He saw what his
work was to be. He saw how he must
carry the burden of mans sins and die
for man and be resurrected before he
could return to his Fathers throne.
May this coming spring fast of the
Lenten season be to you also time OF
spiritual awakening. May it be time
when you Will not only realize that
God has q glorious earthly work for
you to do, but a time when you can
realize that after work is done you
shall live on and on and with Christ
and never die. May you during the
next coming forty days be much in
prayer, much in earnest beseechment.
May you also feel and know that the
way you are to be best fitted for that
earthly work Is by the depth Of your
repentance as we'll as by the height of
your glorious and triumphant faith.
May God bless this Lenten season to

MOB LEADER BY TRADE.
Hayward Got Up a Riot In Paris For
Any One Who Paid Him.

Paris had for years a professional
leader of mobs, man named Hay
ward. who would get up a mob and
raise a riot any time, for any purpose,
according to orders, provided a SUM-
cient amount of money was paid to
him. He was employed chiefly by po-
litical leaders, and his services were
in great demand at election time.
His regular business was peddling
TOYS. songs and novelties upon the
street. Many of the songs were written
by him, many Of the toys were bis In
vention, and he was a man of genius
I'm some directions as well as q strong
characterize strong that he was called
the Napoleon of the Camelots" and
the "king Of the Camelots." If he had
any principles or opinions Of his own
he kept them to himself. He would
break up a political meeting or create
an ovation and make popular hero for
a fixed sum Of money.
He had under his command and sub
ject to his call at a moments notice,
night and day, between 1000 and 5000
street hawkers, peddlers, newsboys and
other gentlemen with lungs Of leather
and was In the habit Of paying them
from 2 to 4 francs each every time
their services were required to raise
riot or give q triumphant greeting to
any politician who wanted to convince
the public of his popularity. g
With 500 or even $50 Of his followers
Hayward could raise an awful rumpus,
and human beings, like sheep, always
follow q leader. 1t was Mr.. Pick
wick, l believe, who said that 1t was
good policy to shout with the loudest
of the crowd, and no one could have
collected such a band Of howlers In
Paris or anywhere else as the "king or
the Camelots."
He led the mobs and directed the
riots In the interest Of General Bou-
LANCER when the latter attempted to
repeat the part of Napoleon /. and was
the author Of the Dreyfus riots, for
which he was paid by syndicate Of
army officers. The police knew all
about him, but never interfered with
his work because they had confidence
in his ability to control his followers
and realized that any interference on
their part might demoralize them. So
this professional mob organizer was al
lowed great liberties.
He could not have existed In any 9TH
er city in the world. Paris Is the only
place that could produce such a man,
and when he died the newspapers con-
tanned formal obituaries, giving de-
tailed account of his operations for the
purpose of influencing public opinion,
while more than 1900 street peddlers
followed him to his grave.-Chicago

THE MATTER OF AGE.
Men Are Often as Sensitive as We-
men on the Subject.

oh aas oeDs~
The National Academy OF Design re-
Gently awarded a prize to woman IN
competition limited to artists not
over a certain age. The artist discov-
cred that she was ineligible and re-
minded the committee of the fact. In
her frank letter renouncing claim 10
the prize the artist said, "Of course II
isn't pleasant 10 have attention drawn
to ones age"
1t Is a fact that almost all women
more than twenty years old and many
men over forty are sensitive on the
subject of age, says the Washington
Times. but few Of them could give any
explanation OF their feeling that would
not be puerile. Apparently they are
ashamed OF having arrived at years
of discretion" but they would repudi-
ate that explanation Indignantly. Sure
ly there is nothing discreditable In the
bodily health that conduces to long
life, nothing degrading in having es-
capped fatal accident and disease.
Why should 1t be unpleasant to have
attention drawn to ones age when one
is neither very young nor very old!
1t is not unpleasant to have attention
drawn to the color OF ones hair Unless
the color be artificial or indicative OF
that same reprehenslble lapse Of time
which constitutes age. 1t Is not un-
pleasant to be, say, thirty years old,
but It is the correct thing for women
especially to regard reference to the
fact as a personal affront or an injury
to their vanity.
The man who shows sensitiyeness
about his age and tries to appear
Younger than he Is usually is regarded
as a silly person and spoken Of behind
his back as a vain old fool, but until
a woman passes the fourscore mark
she is encouraged by the conventions
of society to flb about the lapse OF
time and keep the vital statistic pages
Of the family Bible gummed together.
After fourscore the vanity Of men and
women takes twist in the reverse d.
rection, and the conceit OF a centena-
rian becomes monumental.
Perhaps feminine disinclination to
tell or hear the truth about age is a
survival from the times when years
were important factors in determining
value In the matrimonial market, or
possibly the unpleasantness OF refer
ences to the subject is as artificial in
its origin as the fear Of mice, which
was considered an indispensable fem
inIne accomplishment a generation or
| two ago.

women,s Work Versus Mems.

The reason why women are not PAID
as we'll as men for what seems to be
an equal degree and kind of labor,
says a woman writer, is in ninety-nine
cases out Of q hundred cases because
the work is not as we'll done as a man
would do it in the same circumstances.
1t is not so we'll done because, first, 1t
is not the custom to train girls as Sc
verely as boys, and precedent and
usage are potent here; secondly and
chiefly, because a girl considers her
trade, be 1t typewriting, bookkeeping,
selling merchandise, dressmaking or
teaching, as a raft that will float her
and her fortunes until she is picked
up-near shore or far at sea-by the
good ship Matrimony. Then the raft
is abandoned and forgotten, so far as
she can forget an unpleasant episode

A Plea For Higher Life.

A Plea For Higher Life.
The Lenten season pleads with busi-
ness men for the higher life, as once
heard Robert Speer plead with a great
audience of men for the higher life.
Men," said he, II have always been
ambitious. By that l mean l have al
ways wanted to make the most out OF
my life. If l had thought could
have made more out of my life by en-
tering the United States army / GER
tainly would have done SO. Had l
thought I would have made more out
of my life by entering business
should have consecrated my energies
to money making. But did think 1
could make most out Of my life by be-
ing an evangelist Of God. Therefore,
men, beg and plead with you, no mat
ter who you are, to live for the higher
life. II you are a merchant, be a
Christian merchant; II a lawyer, be
Christian lawyer; II manufacturer
be a Christian manufacturer" Thus
the Lenten season says: Live for the
higher life. Make your counter, o
man, a Christian counter. Make your
mechanics bench a Christian bench.
Make your Office a Christian office. Be
like Paul, a Christian tentmaker. At
the same time be was a Christian

may be doing, "sanctify ye a fast; call

The Episcopalian Lent in the next
place, is a time for spiritual house
cleaning. AS the Spring fast" imme-
diately succeeds the time when the
business man takes an account OF
stock, we find the spring fast comes
Just before the days when the house
wives are turning the houses upside
down In their semiannual attacks upon
the dust and the moths. 1t Is the time
which we husbands dread, but 1t is the
housecleaning time, which every pru-
dent wife declares is essential for the
physical health Of her family. 1t Is abb
solutely necessary to keep physical dirt
out Of house, yet in spite of all pre-
cautions it will keep creeping In every
where. Although the workmen In the
Philadelphia mint are as careful as
they can be, the dirt and the fine partl-
cles Of gold will sift through the floor
cracks. So great are these siftings that
every year the floor is taken up and
the dirt is separated from the gold, and
thousands Of dollars worth Of gold are
thus collected for the United States
treasury. In spite Of all our precau'
tlons the minute, innumerable stains OF
sin will creep into the heart. There

possible there will be reproduction Of
the scenes in the endowment house.
One form of oath taken is said to be
this: 81 will avenge the blood of the
prophets who are killed in the nation
and will teach this to the remotest gen.
eration.o
During previous hearings all Of the
Mormon witnesses, including the apos-
ties, on the stand refused to reveal
the endowment-hou secrets, insisting
that they were bound by a secret oath.
They were not pressed further, but
were simply requested to state whether
or not there had been any change in
the oath and ceremony since the foun-
dation of the church. They said that
there had not. Now the opposition will
produce witnesses who were once Nor
mons, but have renowned the church.
Three of these witnesses have been
found who have been thru the endow-
ment, one as late as 1898, and they will
reveal all of the secrets. Special stress
will be laid at the coming hearings on
the political power of the church, and
Senator Dubois Of Idaho has been very
active in producing testimony on this

election, said Senator Dubois, goes

RATES NOTICED
PREPARE TABLE SHOW
ING CONDITIONS.
It Reveals That Charge for Hauling
Freight North and West Is Much
Higher Than for Similar Service East
and south-ca Cannot Account for It..

Local shippers are feeling that too
much difference exists in the freight
rates out Of Minneapolis on the various
lines. With the rates to the south and
east as a basis, the rates north and
west are anywhere from 40 to 24O per
cent higher for the same class of mer-
chandise. This is shown in a table
which has been prepared by A. Y. Bayne
& Co., bridge contractors.
The table is complied from the rates
charged by the various lines for bridge
metal, which takes fifth class in car
lots and fourth class in less than car
lots. From it it will be seen that the diff
ferences are great. For instance, in a
haul of sixty five miles to Watkins,
Mimi, northwest, the charge when car
lots are shipped is IA cents, and on less
than car lots, is cents. In contrast
the charge from Minneapolis to Maiden
Rock, Wis, or to Le Sueur, Mimi, east
and south, the charge:is 10 cents and Is
cents respectively.
The greatest differences however, are
in hauls of more than 200 and not over
300 miles. In this the charge to Rogers.
n. D., 300 miles, is 81 cents. on car lots
and AZ on less; to Emerson, Neb., the
same distance, it is 81 cents and 80
cents, Respectively whereas haul of
the same distance south to West Liber-
tv, Iowa, or Savannah, ILL.,, is 20 cents
and 25 cents; and east to Ashland, Wis.
10 and II cents respectively.
