Barnato tn the Commnne.

a writer Of stories about Barney Bar

That there is a ciruumstantially definite
account o1 his presence in Paris during
the commune of 1871. In the utter break
Up OF ali social fabric he found his ca
pacities OF a paying order. For there is
little doubt that he was the craft that
enabled the shrewder comnunards to
realize the money needed to supply the
sinews Of war.
One day during the gloom and stress
of the government siege, the president
Of the Bank of France was confronted
by an unkempt mob. The demand was
explicit. They wanted all the gold in
the banks vaults. The spokesman
fiourished a bloody saber n the mob
accentuated the demand by all sorts OF
ferocious threats. 1t was in the height
OF this melee that a man who had been
counseling the financial deputy of the
commune rode up, adorned by a red
sash and other insignia of the terrorists.
He made his way through the vocifer-
Gus throng and handed the governor of
the bank a large envelope. While the
official was reading it, the bcsashed en-
issary turned to the clamoring nornads
and in a tongue unknown to the officials
and probably to many of the mob, adj
dressed them a few sentences, A singu-
lar event followed. A dozentof the ring
leaders at once began b~arangulng the
rioters. In a few minutes every n of
them withdrew. The besashed person
age remained In consultation with the
governor, and when IL was ended with

ons came TO the bank and were laden
with bags such as the bank always
makes use OF in transporting specie.
When Barnato appeared as the dia-
mond king in South Africa a score OF
the communards, who had fled from
France, were in exile in the region
where Barnato had cornered the mines.
One day in the plentitude of his afiiu-
nee he was waylaid. riding in the
Rand, by a company Of miners. One of
them, by a few words, succeeded in,
gaining his private ear. This mai was
known as the most ferocious of the
bloodthirsty gang who had taken part
in the killing of the hostages in La Ro-
quette. He recognized Barnato eS the
emissary sent by the to the

abled him to get in or the ground floor
of the diamond deal. The tale goes on
to tell that Barnato, who figured as Fee
lix Barnette, had fallen desperately in
love with a figurante in the Folles Ber-
CERES just as the war in 1870 broke out:
that he had fingered in Paris. became a
member Of one OF the Red" societies,
exploited the ardent patriotism Of his
co-workers and succeeded in getting
several millions of the cash he had
forced from the Bank of France. The
tale, whether true or not, is by no means
SO improbable as the actual facts known
the mans mastery Of the African dia-
mond fields. For to do thai he was
forced to put himself against such
schemers as Cecil Rhodes. He had to
contend with the "dour' stiffness of
The Beers, and particularly with that
astute old fox, Uncle Kruger.

Mining in the Black Hills.

The Black Hills, tract of noun
famous country in the southwest
corner of South Dakota, is one of
the richest mining regions in the
United States. Mines have been
developed and worked proftably
for years about Deadwood, Lead
and Rapid City, while new mines
are being opened with evidences of
rich values. Tuesday evening our
people were favored with an illus
trated lecture descriptive of the
mining industries in that region by
F. J. Jungen and ]. w. Mattern of
Minneapolis, stockholders and pro-
moters of one of the mines about
Deadwood-the property of the Re-
lance Gold Mining company.
This company has issued bonds
to the amount of $250,000, bearing
interest at per cent. These bonds
are registered and certified 10 the
Minneapolis Loan and Trust com
pany which agrees to pay the annu-
al interest regularly to purchasers
The balance of the earnings of the
company above the expense of OPP
Grating the mines and paying the
interest Is to be placed in sepa-
rate fund which will be divided
among stockholders. In addition
to these benefits the purchasers OF
stock receive a certain amount OF
stock as a bonus.

A Sidewalk and New Stock
Yard.

We have pretty good assurance
that there will soon be some needed
improvements about the railway
station for the better accommoda-
ton of the public. Some of the
railway officials were here Monday
and made arrangements looking to
the building of sidewalk from the
passenger depot to the Maple street
bridge. This is a venture long
needed and long deferred. They
also looked over the situation at
the stock yards and talked very en-
couragingly of putting up up-to-
date stock yards with new and
ample set of scales for the better
convenience of handling, weighing
and loading cattle, sheep, hogs and
horses.

10 CdllSu, anu as ICdu the addresses
remembered the past, and l travel
ed over my pastorates again to find
that it was no doubt true that the
grammer school, because of the age
of its pupils, is the critical period in
public school education. If class
averages for two years five hours a
day in the personal presence of one
teacher, what of the influence of
personality during that time? Her
attitude toward life? Towards the
social questions? It's moral dangers?
All these are the potential things in
a teacher.
Some people do not need to speak
to US to impress us. What of the
silent, unspoken, but potent influence
upon these lives-just then? l come
to you to-day in behalf of the whole
teaching force of the city and of the
land. When soldier or statesman
is to be carried to his final rest, the
character of his work is held before
the public eye-why not the work
of the heroic men and women who
form the one-third of million of
Americas educational army?
She rests from her labors; the
tired brain and wearied nerves find
their repose. She hath done well
what she undertook, and let every
pupil who has shared in her SYM
pathetic labor feel that it is his
privilege to see that her grave is
kept green. quote a Sunday
school incident that would be a
worthy model: "Some years ago
in Tennessee village a good man
gathered class of boys in Sunday
school. They were restless, thought
less, inattentive. Often he was
wholly discouraged and felt that his
labor was in vain. The boys had
grown to manhood, and in three
states were busy about their own
affairs, when one day it was told
them: Your teacher is dead
Then they remembered. A, stone
was bought and when it was ready
for the setting, they came from
their homes in - Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee-and stood
with uncovered heads while the
stone bearing the inscription, In
memory of the man who made us
what we are was being put in
place." Go and do likewise. Let
each pupil during the seasons bring
a tribute of flowers and lay it upon
her grave, in memory of a woman
who helped you on the way, by
teaching you the value of knowledge
and living before you worthy and
patient life.
