Supposing toward the close of the Cri- mean war the English general had given orders that Florence Nightingale was to be shot as q spy, what would have hap pened? Methnks about the commanders s tent would have been seen 5000 poor fel- lows pleading and praying and threatens ing One soldier would say: "She nursed me through fever and saved my life
 She shall not dier Another would say:
 She held my hand when they cut off my leg. She must not die!" Another would have said: "she bandaged my eyes. blasted by the gunpowder explosion. It was on account of her care that now can see" So those whose limbs Christ had straigftened and those whose eyes Christ had opened and those whose 1eprous skin Christ had cleansed would have risen up and cried out: He shall not die. He shall not die'' But when Judas led the Roman officers by night to the garden of Gethsemane and showed
 where Christ was in retreat then Jesus was taken by stealth and tried while Jerusalem slept. He was tried by night
 He was crucitied on the early morning. Oh, my friends, shall it be that you and as apostates have betrayed Christ into the hands of his enemies?
 Another thought: "Aceldama-that is, the field of blood"-teaches that remorse for sin committed does not necessarily

"The Field of BIood.v

No Loyalty to Kin.

NEED A COMMERCIAL CLUB
East Minneapolis Business Men Con
slider Permanent Club Home.

East Minneapolis merchants and
manufacturers feel the necessity Of a
club such as the Commercial club. The
continual growing interests north and
southeast make such move advisable,
and after a rough canvass Of the field,
already several hundred prominent
business men in the wholesale and, re-
tail trade have signiied their willing
ness to take their part as members.
While Northeast Minneapolis business
men have been talking over the ques-
ton, southeast and central business
men have been doing the same, and
it is hoped now to bring the two fac
tors together and start wefl-organ-
lied and fourishing commercial club.
A suitable site on Central avenue is
already considered for that purpose and
everything points in favor Of the idea.
A club would give a home to business
men during the day and office hours,
a place where they could entertain
callers and professional guests, where
they could step in for luncheon, and
where they could enjoy the social com
forts Of home. At present the plan
is still somewhat immature, but further
steps will be taken at meeting of
all the East Minneapolis associations
composed Of business and professional
men.

DYKE HOUSE IS
DOOMED TO GO
MUST MAKE ROOM FOR NEW
BUSINESS BLOCK.
Old House Served Many Purposes, Once
as Postofice, as Police Station and as
Jail-Mr. Dyke Will Build $4,000
Block and Apartment House.

/. BLOCK and Apartment House.
With the tearing down of the old
house at 100 Central avenue, another
landmark of the early days Of Mime
apolis disappears. Since it was built,
it has served a good many purposes and
was once headquarters for Uncle Sam s
mail, for the police and for the jail.
For seven years past Martin Dyke, har
nessmaker, has owned and occupied the
place, but Mr. Dykes business, with the
continuous growth of East Minneapolis,
now decided to build new, modern
business block on the site of the old
building. 80
While the old house was not the first
postoffce in Minneapolis, it was among
the many temporary buildings which
were occupied by the mail departm ent
during the seventies. The first postof-
fee was on Main street and the late Ed
ward Patch was then postmaster. That
was in the ffties. Later the postoffce
was removed to the Winslow house,
which stood where the international
auditorium building now is. AS a spo-
Ilice station and gail, the old house was
quite famous and the boys of olden
days remember 1T ais one of the most
interesting places. IT, had. two cells
and to the great CONSERVATION Of , the
youthful generation Of over thirty years
ago, tramp once set fire to his cell
with a view of escaping. --.~r. .--
Where the old house came from is
question on which the pioneer residents
do not agree. But the probability Is
that it is one of the old houses moved
from Main street to Central avenue.
G. Healy has made the plans TO-
the new Dyke block. 1t is t.
be handsome and thoroly modern
structure in every respect. Pressed
brick veneer will be used for the Quite
walls and stone stills and trimmings VII
add a touch of the ornamental. Tn
building is to be 25xS0 feet, and VII
be erected at a cost Of about $40, 600
On the ground floor will be the fine
large store of Mr.. Dyke and the 'tW
upper floors will contain, two four an
two five-room flats. Every modern con
venience and appliance will be, used il
the building, such as hot water heat
electricity and gas Handsome hard
wood floors and woodwork will be use
in finishing the interior, and the pla
Of making it one of the fine and up-tc
date structures on lower Central aYenu
will be followed out in every detail.
Mr.. Dyke has been resident of Ger
? trail avenue for the past twenty-on
} years. For some time he worked TO
J the firm of Weeks, harness makers. i
J few years after that he bought out tn
