These dates mark the entrance and exit
of one of the purest and sweetest lives
given By God to earth. Sihco our blessed
Savior said blessed are the pure in
heart for they shall see Goa" I do not
believe there has appeared a filter sub
ject for the Masters blessing.
Janette was alike a rose, which, when
it has opened its petals half way to the
sunshine, is most beautiful and fragrant.
Just blooming into womanhood, she was
loved by a large circle Of friends who
each claimed an interest in everything
she did. Her own sweet apparent ignor-
ance of her talents bound them to her
stronger and stronger. She was lovely in
feature, attractive in manners and accom-
plshed. She was gentle, tender-hearted
and gracious She was a beautiful singer,
and many there are whose hearts have
been touched by the mellow, and delicate
voice.
As daughter she was dutiful and con-
siderate, as school girl she was obedient
and faithful, as a companion innocently
joyful and charming, and as sufferer
grateful and patient TO the end. She wore
the white flower Of a blameless life. Her
sweet voice no more shall swell the an
thems of earthly choirs for she has been
called to the choir celestial. G. T. T.

In case that came before Judge j.

waS . guardian for girl years old
and q boy 10 year, old, each Of the
children having 100 acres Of good land.
The evidence showed that the guar
dians had made leases for their wards
for $50 a year, for the use Of 200 acres
Of land, about one-half Of which was
In cultivation, and for term Of five
years in each case. These leases came
before the Judge for approval, as the
News reports it, and in passing on
them he said;
II have no language in which to
express my feelings Of this kind; to
have great big men, standing six feet,
and seemingly possessed Of all the
qualifications OF men, stand up be-
fore me and with a solemn counte-
nance that would do credit a minister
Of the Gospel, ask me TO approve such
lease, while this little boy Is playing
at the cross roads with his marbles
and his wooden horse, and this little
black haired, 6-year-old Indian girl

these children, shamefully pickering

the entire Northwest, to the name Of
the Duluth Lumber Company, a con-
Germ which is worthy Of the support
and encouragement Of all intelligent
workmen. The record Of this splendid
company shows clearly that the Of
ficers have in all their dealings with
labor, been actuated by principles of
fairness and Justice. A concern which
pursues a policy Of this kind Is almost
sure to have a steady and healthy
growth. The manager Of this company,
Mr.. I. D. Burgh, is held in high esteem
by his employers and is one Of our
most progressive citizens.
It has always been our object to
show that In order to bring about the
best prosperity that is possible, It is
necessary for the two great forces to
keep In sight at all times the fact that
their interests are mutual and that
whatever tends to disturb the welfare
Of the one necessarily. reflects Injurious
" upon the other. When a concern such

the leading substantial business houses
of the city, which are always to be
depended upon as staunch. substant-
