His Letter.

When Willie Blank was at the sea-
shore last summer his father wrote to
him quite frequently, and in each let
ter inclosed 10 cents or a quarter to
add to the little lads pleasure. Willie
was no letter-writer, but one day he
managed to compose the following
comprehensive epistle, which he sent
to his father:
"Deare Papa-I got all your letters,
and you have put some mummy in each

Latest of Fishing Yarns.

Seeing some Of your fish and bear
stories in Maine Woods, 1 must con-
fess some Of them do smell a little
fishy, and for a change 1 will give
you one founded on facts. You see,
it was this way: We were fishing on
one Of the Keswick lakes in the spring
Of 1898, and our catch had been enor-
nous. About 3 o'clock in the after
noon we heard a peculiar noise on the
bank of the lake like tearing Of roots.
So we went to investigate, and on
nearing the shore were surprised to
find a large black bear digging up the
ground to beat nine of kind.
We lay low to watch, and what DO
you think he was doing? Why, he
was digging worms, and after putting
nice fat angle worms on each Of his
forepaws he ventured out in the lake
on an old sunken log, put down his
forefeet in the water and actually
scooped out huge trout SO thick and
fast that he almost darkened the sun.
After while, thinking there was
enough fish for us, we put an ounce
ball in his head. Talk about fish!
Great heavens! There lay trout two
feet deep on which two young cubs
were gorging themselves. Well, we
skinned that bear and, wishing to Sc
cure the cubs alive, / just threw the
bearskin over me and got down on
all fours, and those cubs followed me
right into camp, thinking it was moth
er bear.
The cubs I afterward sold for S25
each, and the hide Of the mother bear,
which was very large one, brought
me $4v, not too bad days work
Oh, yes, about those fish on the bank.
Well, we went back next day and bar
relied up twenty-four barrels of the
best of those trout. The rest were
left to rot in the sun. We put those
fish in cold storage and we have some
of them yet. Next.-Maine Woods.

NOTHING NEW IN THE ARCH.

Most Of the Present-Day knowledge
Was Derived From the Ancients.
The old adage, There's nothing new
under the sum-" applies with as much
aptness to architecture as it does to
many other things. It is well known
that although the building of great
arches of masonry dates beyond the
ancient Roman civilization the princi-
pie that gives strength to the massive
stone bridges of to-day is the same
that built the bridges of the Roman
empire.
The history Of bridge building is to
large degree the history Of the arch.
whose efficiency lies in the truth of the
old Hindoo saying that 1.-The arch nev-
er sleeps" because each separate Sec
ton of which it consists, beginning at
the keystone or central section, is con-
stantly pushing against its immediate
neighbors until the pressure finally
reaches the firm foundation upon
which the structure is erected.
To secure perfectly trustworthy
foundation. therefore, the bridge build
er has often to penetrate far below the
quently the part of his structure thus
covered up and concealed is greater
than that visible above ground.
1t was their inability to solve the
problem of a trustworthy foundation
that led the ancient Hindoos to dis
trust the arch, arguing that the sleep
less activity that held it together was
equally active in tearing it to pieces.
Not only is the modern bridge build
er skilled in setting his structure on a
firm base, but thoroughly acquainted
with the tme-honored materials for
his work, to say nothing Of new mate
rails, and an important part of his
student training in such modern
schools as the Massachusetts, Institute
Of Technology is devoted to methods
of testing materials during construc-
ton that would have surprised and
delighted even the most accomplished
of the ancient Roman engineers.

Boils show the blood is in riotous, feverish

of that state practical farmers with

that he proposes to push himself

Judge Bazille of the Ramsey
county probate court last Thursday
gave hearing upon the interpreta-
ton of a portion of the will of the
late Charles D. Gilfllan, paragraph
8 of the document making over to
the St. Paul Trust Co., as trustee,
the Gilfillan block, so-called, at the
corner of Jackson and Fourth
streets; the Scheffer & Rossum
building ON Fourth street, and stock
of the First National bank, the net
income or proceeds of which was to
be used by the trustees for the ben
eft of Mrs. Giltillan and two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Kingsland-Smith, now of
London, England, and Miss Emma
Gilfllan. To that end the income
or ayails were to be divided into
three parts, and, SO soon as the
sum of 5000 or any greater sum was
accumulated, as to any one part, the
money was to be invested in United
States bonds, the income from which
bonds was to be paid to the benefic-
iaries, the three ladies named, each
according to her share or part, as
long as they lived, and after that
the principal sums were to be paid
to the children of the daughters. if
any, and if not, TO the heirs of Mrs.
Gilfillan Mrs. Gillian Endorsed
her consent upon the will. Mr..
Gilfllan, before he died, and in the
year 1902, added a codicil to his
will, naming in place of the ST. Paul
Trust company, Messrs. E. H. Bail
ey, John Caulfield, and c. o. Gilfl-
Ian, to serve without bond. Mrs.
Gillian did not consent to the
changes made by the codicil, and
now declines to be bound by the
provisions above set forth. The
question before the court is this:
Are she and her daughters bound
/ by the will and is thetrust binding.
If the court holds that the property
does not come within the trust, that
the trust is void, then each one of
three ladies takes one-third Of the
property indicated free and clear OF
any trust.

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn." is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
MIX because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphltes
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

Yom
kippur


may make upon his fathers Of a genera
ton or two ago, one fact can not escape
the unbiased observer of Jewish life,
namely, that the Yom Kippur was act
ually FELT to be day Of spiritual p'lr-
iication, while to-day-well, we are too
near to say with any historical accuracy
what the Jew really feels on this day Of
Kippur. TO some in past generations,
as in the present, the day Of atonement
meant and means nothing but day OF
fast The Lord wants the Jews to fast,
and as obedient literalists and legalists
they fast.
It matters not, of course, that these
pious people Of the letter sleep till past
the noon hour Then peeping into the
synagogue to see whether there be any
new gowns not displayed on New Years
Day, they disappear again to observe the
latest styles in the uptown windows, to
examine the newest fads in photography,
and then, groaning at the inhumanity
of days fast, they watch the second
hand in it's slow and dull rotations and
then gaze prayerfully to the heavens (the
first and only glimpse Of religious feel
ing) to see whether the good Lord in
tends to hang out the celestial lanterns

be broken with pious repast.
This class of Jews may have made
some changes in the dietary laws, but IN
the depth of religious feeling they have
neither ascended nor descended the scale
of Judaism.
The Jews who have departed far from
their noble sires Of generations ago are
those who with a self conscious pride OF
superiority exclaim: ' don t FAST can
be just as religious without fasting.
Or if our modern Jew be a little more
philosophical he will deduce long list
of arguments showing that an empty
stomach is not conducive to high spirit
uality; that the mind cannot contemplate
the high and lofty concepts of the atone
ment teachings unless the digestive or
gans be kept busy breaking down food
stutfs, and therefore speaks the modern
Jewish oracle, in order to enter into the
spirit of prayer and follow the thoughts
of the sermons one must ENJOY light
breakfast and partake Of a good dinner
Whoever heard of man wallowing in
affluence and luxury, gorged with food
and wine, offering to the world works OF
spiritual power and force? Whoever
heard of a full stomach producing the
sweet melodies Of poetry and music? 1t
is the tear-moistened bread that opens
the heart strings Of man s divine sane
tuary; it is the gnawing heart that un-
locks the heavens for us. There is ply
steal basis for all this
There is a physical basis for every hu-
man feeling and emotion. When we say
the heart is too full for utterance we
mean that there is actually a greater
flow Of blood to the heart. When we say
Zone feels heavy we mean that there
is an actual physical pressure somewhere
in some organ. And so when we say
ellis heart yearns' we describe a ply
steal want that sets up an intellectual
want, spiritual yearning.
The Jew who FELT, earnestly and
sincerely felt the Day of Atonement to
be day Of sanctifcation and purifca-
ton, felt real physical gnawing and
yearning caused by abstinence from all
food and drink, which set his soul to soar
aloft on the wings of highest poetic
fancy, yearning and longing for the

TO be just as good is an expression
that really means nothing.
The person using such an expression
usually has no conception of the abstract
term "good,' and has no idea that the
phrase must refer to something in par
ticular or it means nothing in general
When a person says 81 am just as
good as Mr.. A. " we do not know whether
he is as good as Mr.. A. in his looks, just
as good in musical ability, in language,
in mathematics, just as good in orator
zeal power, in poetic fancy, or just as
good in giving charity, in selling shoes
or in educating humanity.
