RING OUT, WILD BELLS.

Extract from Tennys6n's famous poem.)
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying clouds, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring. happy bells, across the snow;
The year Is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, Ring in the true. &
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more,
Ring out the feud OF rich and poor;
Ring In redress to all manking.
Ring out slowly dying cause
And aocient forms of parry strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manner, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faitbless coldness of the times,
Ring out, ring out, my mournful
rhymes;
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride ia place and blood
The civic slsnder and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

TALE ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE
TRUE.

During the blizzard of '99 I started
one day from the central office of
the Bureau of Charities to distribute
money in some cases reported for
''instant relief" In an attic / found
a poor widow, seamstrees, with one
child, boy of six. The room was
cold and bare; there was no fire, the
windows were loose, and snow Law
upon the floor. The boy had been
kept In bed for two days to keep
warm. | asked the usual questions
and gave the woman two dollars. All
this before 1 discovered the BOY.
Suddenly his head bobbed from be-
meath the bed-clothes, and at sight
of the two bills his eyes became
moons. "Gee-e-e, Misterl All tina.
for us? Then we can give some to
Ted Burns mother down stairs to
buy coal Can't We, Mom?"-Rev.
Dayid NJ. Steele.

SOME LITERARY NOTES.

The great masses of people in Russia
and Japan are influenced largely by COL
ored war pictures. 10 Russia, these are
known as Lueochnyya Kartiny, or pop
ular pictures. A number of represe nta-
tive ones-both Russian and Japanese
are reproduced In the American Notify
Review of Reviews for January, 1905,
this being the first time these pictures
have been shown in the United States In
a periodical. The Russian pictures
which are In bright. II crude. colors, and
invariably represent the triumph of the
Russian arms over the "yellow DEVILS"
are sold on the streets at a few cents
apiece. The Japanese pictures are gen.
orally of a higher grade of artistic work
manship. Their tone is one Of exulta-
ton of the dational heroes
Real life is the keynote of the National
Magazine and especially of the first
number for 1905. 1t rings true to
American experiences In all parts
of our vast republic empire, from
the noisy jungles of New York City
to the silent sandy spaces of Mid
way Island. our new cable station in
mid-Pacific; from British Columbia tc
Porto Rico. Mr.. Chaple's Washington
letter carries score of new and striking
portraits of interesting men aud women
in public life. Alexander Grayham Bell,
Dallas Lore Sharp, Charles Warren Stod-
dard, Ethel Armes, and j. F. Conrad,
the new humorist from Iowa, contribute
delightfully."- amusing essay-sketches
in their several fields. Yone Noguchi
pays eloquent tribute to Joaquin Miller,
his benefactor and literary godfather.
The Home Department is full of humor
and really helpful home hints on score
of subjects.

and her support makes their ex-
istence possible. No woman likes
or cares even for an unclean news
paper. know of a publisher up
New York State who understands
the art of appealing to women better
than most people. His paper is
certainly and respectfully dedicated
to the fair sex. He builded wisely
in the first place when be went
among the homes and began talking
his paper over with the women. He
sent bis agents in all directions
doing the same thing. lie scattered
copies broadcast and the women
began to read it. They saw that it
was clean. They appreciated that
his motto was pitched upon high
standard, which was that no paper
should be more regardful of its
readers than his. The meat of this
story is to follow. In this particular
town there were all sorts Of circula-
ton claims made by other papers
there. Our clean publisher, however,
made no idle boasts on circulation
in fact, he made no circulation state
ment at all. He does not do so to-
day, and yet his paper, without a
circulation statement, is winning
more business and carrying more
local advertisers than any other
paper in his town solely because it is
the favorite with the women. 1T
does not give its circulation because
it says it will not give facts against
fa!sehoods. 1t would not run an ad
that is not decent and reliable.
1t does not publish "wants" that
are fakes, and will have nothing to
do with medicines that are vicious,
while all financial ads that are
frauds can never see the light of day
in its columnsy aud it will not pub
lish word or thought that is sug-
gestive. For this reason he has made
his paper distinctly modern as well
as clean newspaper, and it has the
confidence of women. No advertiser
today dares go into that town with
out using his paper. If he does, he
is assured in advance that he will
lose money.
asked a woman the other day
why she thought that advertisements
should be written as an appeal to
woman and her quick response was:
"Because women are chumps enough
to believe everything they read"
Another woman said. "Because L
believe women are subject to flattery.
The seductive advertisements of the
dry goods stores are what have made
the Wanamakers and the Siegel
Cooper Company establishments
great" But for this sppeal to wo-
men, we would, perhaps, have never
known greater dry goods establish
ment than A. t. Stewards. A. T.
Stewards old place wonld not be
waist high to twenty modern depart
ment stores that could be named in
America. In A. Il. Stewards day
and generation, he sold his goods on
his individual name; the Wanamaker
of today sells nothing except upon
Wanamaker's representation to wo-
men. Since women are invariably
the buyers of most things that 90
into the homes, except the adorn-
ment of her better half, no specious
argument is necessary to emphasize
why it is reasonable to seek her ears.

BE KIND TO THE DUMB.

Always kill a wounded bird OF
other animal as soon as you can. All
suffering of any creature, just be.
fore it dies, poisons the meat.
Every unkind treatment to the
cow poisons the milk-even talking
unkindly to her. One of the most
successful milkmen of this country
says that in order to keep cows up
in winter to their usual amount of
milk, it is necessary to give them
warm water to drink. Those who
complain that their cows are going
back in their milk might try this
plan.

Gone but not forgotten by mother, father,

But they little know the bitter sorrow
that's within our deepest hearts concealed.

ought to awaken tho dear tax payers to
the facts that the alleged, leaders of the

have not sense enough to make money
honestly but in order to do business
must have in their employ the law
makers of the country. North Dakota
must choose between The standarn oil,
Wall street interests and their own.
There is being organized this time in
this state movement to do sway with
the rottenest and most useless coRs of
tho republican machine. Whether the
proposed organization is to be incompe-
tent ard as willing to market their ef-
