ST. Louis County Taxes.

BY remarkable increase of over
S47, 900, 900 in four years, the valua-
tion of property in st. Louis county
has surpassed that of the Ramsey in
which st. Paul is situated and now
ranks second in the state, according
to figures furnished by County Audi
tor Odin Halden.
Five millions of this appreciation
has occurred in Duluth and the other
s42, 900, 900 in parts of the county out
side the city.
These valuations are regarded as
conservative and the figure for Du-
luth is only about half what it was
during the boom period.
The following table prepared by Mr.
Halden shows the increase for the
four years in Duluth and outside:

will cut down the total to point
lower than st, Louis county. The

greatly exceeds that of Ramsey. For

The large increase in the local as

valuable mining property on the iron
ranges and the consequent develop
ment of the towns there. The agri-
cultural improvement is also an i'm
portant factor in building up the TO-
tai.

SALLY IN OUR ALLEY.

of all the girls that are so smart
There's none like pretty Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
There is no lady in the land
Is half so sweet as Sally:
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
Her father he makes cabbage nets.
And through the streets does cry EN-
Her mother she sells laces long
10 such as please to buy 'em;
But sure such folks could ne'er beget
So sweet a girl as Sally
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
OF all the days that's in the week
1 dearly love but one day
And that's the day that comes betwixt
A Saturday and Monday:
For then I'm drest all in my best
To walk abroad with Sally:
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
My master carries me to church,
F.. And often am I blamed
Because I leave him in the lurch
AS soon as text is named,
Ileave the church in sermon time
And stink away to Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.

PRIESTS HEROIC ACT.

A priest, who refused to give his
name, was the central figure in a thrill
| ing act of heroism at Caseyville, H., on
Saturday last, when he craWled on MS
hands and knees through blazing
| wreckage, to administer the last Sacra-
ments to L. 3. List fireman, who
was being slowly roasted to death be-
meath the firebox of his engine.
List was pinioned under his engine
when 3. & o. passenger train No. .
crashed into train No. 6. Although ev-
cry effort was made to rescue him, he
died before the heavy machinery that
held him down could be removed.
The priest was a passenger on the
train, and when he learned the fate of
the fireman, he threw off his coat and
searched for some place where he
might crawl through the tangled mass
of machinery to the side of the dying
man. Although the woodwork of the
locomotive was ablaze, the priest did
not hesitate. Covering his mouth and
nose with a handkerchief he crept into
the inferni List was begging piteous-
ly for aid.
The priest found that it would be i'm
possible for help to come in time and
remained until the end had come When
he emerged his hair and eyebrows were
singed and his clothing was literally
scorched to rags. He declined to give
his name. List was married and his
last coherent words was a request that
the awful story of his death be kept
from his wife.

DEATH OF PAUL KRUGER.

! One of the most romantic as Wen
as one of the most CONSPICUOUS hgure5
of recent history was. that of PAU
Kruger former president OF the
j TransVaal in South Africa.
The admiration that was felt Tor IdIll
and the respect shown for his sturdy
spirit of independence was a credit to
human nature in general. even though
some of their manifestations seemed
prompted more by hatred Of England
than by love of the Beers.
Paul Kruger was narrow and he was
fanatical. and his ideal of liberty was
not unmixed with the purpose to pur-
sue his own will regardless of in
feriors among IFS own race as well as
among the blacks. But for all that his
was a majestic figure. and during the
period of the Beer war he held a
prominent place in the worlds respect
and esteem.
Dom Paul, as his friends and adj
mirers liked to call him, died of old
age but it would be impossible to say
to what extent that end was fastened
by the conquest of the BOer republics
and the failure of the Boer dream OF
South African independence of British
control. But he kept his faith I'M
conquerable to the end and died with
a prayer for the cause of the Boer
upon his lips.
The modern conditions do not make
men of the Paul Kruger mold, but 1t
is fortunate that there still fingers IN
the human makeup enough of the
primal spirit to cause modern men to
admire him.-Pueblo Chieftain.

Flowers For the Sick.

Flowers are always welcome to the
sick; sweet pleasure of life is that of
sending flowers. When unable to talk
or see a dear friend, they can realize
your love and sympathy through tho
sending of flowers. 1t may be but a
rosebud; it will bring a smile to the
pale, sad face, and pain will be forgot
ten for awhile. Send none but the
choicest, and only a few at one time
choice rose or a small bunch of carna-
tons, with smilax or a few rose geran-
ium leaves; a bunch of sweet yiolets
lilies of the valley. pansies, freesias
roses, heilotrope, mignonette, bachelors
button, Roman hyacinths. ionquils
narcissus, sweet peas, nasturtiums
daisies and chrysanthemums; a not of
tulips, or a rare lily. These are ali
tokens Of love and will bring low tn
some faint heart.
Flowers with strong perfume. like
lilac, jessamime or tuberose, should NOT
be sent to the sick.
They should not be allowed in the
sick-room, as they do not keen long
and are unhealthful Flowers shouId
be removed from the room at night
