THE COUNTRY PASTOR.

gsghe country pastor has the best and
safest chance / know anything about
to make Of himself the man God
meant him to be- This is the real
blessedness of life. The man may
be failure even in q country parish,
but If he fail there he would fail any
where
If he has children and they are the
best Of heavens gifts~-he can train
them for best possibilities in life more
surely and safely In country parson-
age than in any other place on earth.
He is making investments in the
kingdom of God. A few of the young
people whom he is helping to, "a right
start will stay with him and sustain
him by their love and fellowship in
his declining years and hand down his
influence to other generations.
Some will pass onward to the unseen
world and beckon him upward to it's
unfading glories. Most will go out into
the world to do work of which he will
be proud. 1t is at first great trial to
see them go. but he grows to realize
that in this way he is doing his larg-
est work for the worlds welfare. 1t
must be a small parish indeed if he
does not send forth an average Of more
t1ld1A OlO CAASlCAL NjAh ASb11A sWOlACI
each year. There will be some of them
of larger capacity and fitted to do a
greater work than himself, while ex-
cept for him their life and influence
might have been lost or nlisdirected.
How much he has counted for he cam
not know. but In Fellowship with his
Master he comes to have subordin-
ate though real ownership in souls, an
ownership of love-
When the years come in which he
must lay aside his official responsible
fly he has an opportunity for rest
which is not idleness, and oftentimes
his presence in the congregation is a
silent benediction to the people among
whom he has lived, and 1t may be a
continuous gospel service better than
he ever preached from the pulpit.
am entirely ready to believe that
the city pastor may be fairly entitled
to a larger and higher position in
heaven, may he rule oyer many things,
as over 10 cities, but the country pas
tor even here may enter into the Joy
of his Lord. and will not be envious
there If he may have quiet residence
by the rivers of the, water of life and
beneath the shade of the trees whose
leaves are for the healing of the ma
lions. So far as can see, there is
nothing better in this world for any
man who is called to it than the life
and work of the country pastor. The
Rev Arthur Goodenough In the Out

SENATOR DEPEW's JOKE.

Tells Story ON Himself I'm Connection
with a Political Meeting.
The fact that Senator Chauncey M.
Depew has a brand new joke was dis
closed by him to number of friends
who accompanied him from Oneonta,
N. Y, to Alton, N. Y, on his private
car the other day. says a Binghamton
special dispatch to the New York
Times. During Senator Depcw's last
speaking trip over the Delaware and
Hudson railroad he was greeted by a
large unsympathetic crowd at Coolies
Kill, N. Y, and when he was conveyed
to the town hall and ATTEMPTED to adj
dress the gathering he was rudely IN
terrupted. In referring to the incident
Senator Depew said:
eI think / offended the crowd at
Cobleskill on that occasion by saying
to them during the brief interval that
I could make my voice heard, that
they were trying to interfere with free
speech and that they were using the
same weapon that Samson used against
the Philistines.
That's a liev shouted one man in
the crowd. Tt wasn't Samson. It was

BEEcHER AND THE ROOSTER

That Henry Ward Beecher was
spared much embarrassment by his
quickness at repartee is illustrated
by the following story:
One evening, as he was in the
midst of an impassioned speech,
someone attempted to interrupt him
by suddenly growing like rooster.
1t was done to perfection; number
of people laughed in spite Of them
selves, and the speakers friends felt
that in moment the whole effect Of
the meeting, and of Mr.. Beecher's
thrilling appeals, might be lost. The
orator, however, was equal to the oc-
casion. He stopped, listened till the
growing ceased, and then, with a
look OF surprise, pulled out his watch.
Morning already!' he said; Tiny
watch is only at ten. But there can
be no mistake about it. The instincts
of the lower animals are infallible."
There was a roar of laughter. The
lower animal" in the gallery collap-
sed, and Mr.. Beecher was able to re-
sumo as if nothing had occurred. -
Success.

With thumbs tightly bound together
Ten Ichi performs wonderful trick.
Two members of the audience, chosen
at random, are summoned on to the
platform, where they superintend the
task of binding this wizards thumbs
as tightly together as they possibly
can with strong cord. Some plain
hoops are the only other implements
| used in this trick. Standing about four
yards from Ten Ichd, Japanese lad
losses the hoops in the air, and as he
does SO the "Mikado juggler,' as Ten
Ichi is called, catches them one on
each arm, so that they pass through
his bound thumbs and fall just above
the elbow. With thumbs still securely
bound, he stretches out his arms to
the audience. and at glance it is seen
that the cord has not been tampered
with.
j In order to prove that no underhand'
methods are made use of in this trick,

unloosened, Then, with thumbs still
tightly bound, he advances toward
them, and with rapid movement per-
forms with his bound hands what the
hoops performed on him; that is to
say, he apparently passes his arms
right through the clenched fists until
they rest on the arms of the wonder

Another feat is performed with a
bowl Of flowers, sword, a fan and
two Japanese boys, from which are
produced four ready-made fountains.

large, juicy fish In his bill he would
swallow 1t without mentioning the
fact to any one But his master has
anticipated any weakness the cormo-
rant may have for eating between
meals by slipping metallic and inc
lastic ring around the cormorant's
neck. The cormorant has sort of rub
Der neck that will give almost any
size fish passport but the neck jew
elry keeps the cormorant hungry. The
fish cannot slip through such narrow
aperture The master, with a slender
rod, simply knocks the fish from the
cormorant's mouth, and it falls out OF
sight In the boat, leaving the cornno-
rant nothing to do but get another.

attributed to the moon, although half
or more OF mankind seem to believe
that the moon does have some con-

PARDONED PRISONER
is STILL CONFINED
Man Pursed of Grand Larceny to Serve
Out Forgery Sentence

John r.. Doherty, a Ramsey. county
man, serving time for forgery in the
state prison at Saltwater, has been
given discharge from imprisonment
for an earlier crime, but he still wears
the prison garb, and will serve over
year before being given his liberty.
Doherty, who was convicted in
March, 1893, under the alias Of Darling,
IN ST. Paul for grand larceny in the
flrst degree was given an indetermi-
nate sentence at the st. Cloud reform
atory. In the reformatory his conduct
was exemplary and he earned a parole
as soon as the board could legally pa
role him. Doherty is a bookkeeper
and with Joseph l. Claire he was en-
ployed, after his parole, in the reform
atory office as clerk

Ooherty, after year or more, was
apprehended in Wisconsin and was re-
turned to st. Cloud. There he was in
sdicted for forgery and sentenced to
three years at Saltwater. He was inn.

was given a final discharge from the

PROTEST. CHANGE TO
STATE SCHOOL BOARD
University Faculty and Students Dis
like the Proposed Idea

The proposed change in the manage
ment of the state university has raised
storm of protest among the students
and the faculty. A bill has been drafted
and will, it is said, be presented at the
next Session of the Legislature, abolish
ing the board of university regents,
the state normal school board and the
state high school board, substituting
for them a state board of education of
three members.
The members of the present board
serve without salaries, while those of
the new board would receive $1,000 a
year. Some of the friends of the uni
versity are opposed to this plan as
they have hoped that the affairs CT the
~ s would be again placed in the hands
Of the board of regents.
When interviewed in regard to the
matter President Northrop of the uni
versity said: ct is as much uncalled
for as it is undesired, and would not,
in my opinion, be better than the pres
ent system. We had best bear those
ills we have than fly to others we know
not Of"
Dean Jones, head of the college of
engineering and the Mechanic Arts,
said: II don't believe the management
of the university should be changed
unless a decided change for the better
is assured and / think this would be a
decided change for the worse. We got
along very well under the old board of
regents and fairly well under the board
of control, and in my opinion we should
make no change of this nature

NOTED WOMAN PAYS
VISIT TO ST. PAUL
Former Wife of Roland 3. Molineux
Passes Through City


w. D. Scott and wife, Sioux Falls, S. D.,
were guests at the Ryan hotel yesterday
on their way home from a trip East.
Mrs. Scott is the young woman who was
in the limelight for a time as the wife of
Roland B. MolineuX, the young New
Yorker who was twice tried on the charge
of murder, and was finally acquitted.
Mrs. Molineux stood by her husband
until he secured his acquittal, when she
went to Sioux Falls and joined the di-
vorce colony. A few months later her
marriage to Mr. Scott, a prominent attor-
ney of the South Dakota metropolis, was
the sensation of the day.
Mr.. Scott is a law partner of Senator
Kittredge, of South Dakota. At the ST.
Paul hotel Mrs. Scott wore a heavy veil
even to the dining room-and sought to
avoid undue attention. With her husband
she took a train last night for Sioux
Falls.
