A FRAoM EMIT

The music Of heaven was silent one morning,
Each angelic voice was stflled;
Each eye toward the earth was regretfully turn
ing.
With parting each heart was thrilled.
The great pearly gates were wide open swinging
While down thru the ambient air,
Down, down thru the mists there was silently
spirit pure, spotless and fair
And further, still further. 1t fearless1y drifted
Thru beds of ethereal blue
Thru rn-tinted pillows Of clouds lightly rifted.
To pause at earth's bosom, true.
Then. swift thru wide open welcoming portal
1t lovingly took Its way,
And found rest for time in the form of a
mortal 4
fairy-like form of clay.
For a brief, brief while an earth home It
frightened,
This spirit of light and Joy
For a brief, brief while, two earth hearts It
lightened,
A bright, smiling baby boy.
Then, DER soul bereft clay, waxen fingers were
A form laid under the sod;
And back from the body so faultlessly moulded,
The spirit returned to God.
And bark! Thru the gloom Of the earth falling
shadows,
Thru bright azure ether afar,
Thru measureless depths Of heavens infinite
meadows.
Thru beautiful gates ajar.''
A burst of bewildering music has shaken
The great overshadowing dome,
While fair sainted hand from within has taken
/ The beautiful spirit home.

ADJUSTMENTS
Observation-Disclosures"

Kyrle Be1lew and e. M. Holland make
''Raffes, the Amateur Cracksman," which
opened three nights and mat
inee engagement at the Metropolitan
theater last night, one of the most
entertaining comedy dramas inlagin-
able. Having viewed their work in this
exceedingly interesting piece, q person
shudders to think what failure it would
be without them. It is not clever play
its situations might be drawn from real
life-but as presented by Messrs. Bellew
and Holland, it possesses rare power to
gain and retain the favor of an audience.
The gallery last night was filled to ca
pacity, and the cool, reasonable 'Raffles''
Of Mr.. Bellew and the droll comedy of
Mr.. Holland captivated the .heaven."
The enthusiastic applause of the boys and
men up there was Infectious, and after
each act the success Of the piece was
warmly attested from all parts of the
house. B.
Mr.. Bellows supporting company has
not changed much, and he is as capably'
aided as last year. Little opportunity to
score is given to others than Mr.. Bellew
and Mr.. Holland, who appears as Captain
Bedford, the detective, who follows and
finally captures the mysterious 'Raffles,"
but Lawrence Smith as Barraclough, an
Ordinary" criminal, and Frank Roberts
as Bunny" could not be improved upon.
Clara Blandick is cast again as Gwen
dolen ,Conron, part that might be made
more of and still not endanger the prom
inence Of "Raffles'' and Captain Bedford.
Lorena Atwood's Mrs. Vidal is excellent,
and the other members Of the company
are above criticism. e. G. H.

Winter Birds.
70 the Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
Minnesota is much better off for birds
in winter than your more southerly
readers might infer from an editorial in
your Sunday issue.
On Lincoln's birthday, that is, on Feb
r. the prairie horned larks filled the
fields of Minnesota with music. 1 went
for a. short walk north of the city, and
on all open fields these birds were sing
ing as Justify as they do in May and
June There were simply fiocks Of them,
and from posts, knobs and stones their
cheerful song fairly dubbed forth.
Quite a number of birds are here all
winter. chickadees, goldfnches, juncoes,
tree sparrows, quais, prairie chickens.
ruffed grouse and even an occasional
robin, blackbird and meadow lark stay
with us all the time.
Every winter the downy and hairy
woodpeckers,s the nuthatches, brown
creepers and bluejays come to my din
ing room window daily, where l tie
chunk Of suet to nearby tree.
December and January are the only
months in which I have not heard birds
sing in Minnesota, altho I have seen
birds take a bath in December. January
and February are the only months in
| which have not found any wild flowers
in bloom. It is much farther from us to
| the arctic regions than our southern
neighbors imagine. D. LANCE.

The Rate Bills Band Wagon.


The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, which
few months ago was warning its

since Senator Kittredge- declared b him n:

contemporary, the Press, now chuckles
with glee and wants to- know: ,...,

would be precipitated into ruin if the

it was ominous in it's warnings Of dis

IT WAS A NEW SPONGE
Else Surgeons Might Not Have Gone
in After It.
WASHINGTON Post

"
Speaking of appendicitis reminds me
of a time when Charles Dryden, the
author of "Swanson, Able Seaman, -
was reporter on a Chicago paper:
His daily "'run' took in several
hospitals, and one day he turned in a
story about the loss of a sponge at one
of them. He set forth that after an
operation the sponge was not to be
found, and it was borne upon the sur
geons that it must be concealed some
where in the interior of the patient.
The tale Mortified the city editor, and
he expressed doubts as to its fidelity in
fact. Mr.. Dryden swore on his honor
that it was true, and to vindicate him
self, took another reporter and went to
the hospital to have the story verified.
They met somewhat laxative nurse
who happened to know the facts. The
story was true. -.--.- -----.
'FBut we got the sponge again." she
said. They'd just overlooked 1t IN
taking the rest out.
"Got it again!" gasped the reporter,
considering the matter from the
patient s point Of view.
Yes, said the nurse, speaking from
the practical standpoint. 'Why my
goodness, it was a brand new sponge
and it cost 80 centsl'

American Street Cleaning.

What is the matter with American
cities on the STRENGTHENING problem?
While we hear reports from apparently
reliable travellers that Havana has
solved the question and is today one
of the cleanest cities in the world, the
American municipalities appear to make
no progress, Notwithstanding their vast
expenditures of public money. New
York appropriates annually $1,000, ooO+
for STRENGTHENING, and is. just about to
institute an investigation of what the
commissioner does with it. It is openly
charged that the department is stepped
in graft. Politicians are credited with
vast "rake-offs and contracts for
snow removal amounting to 100000

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
That Midwinter Swim.

To the Editor of The Journal.
Grandma's attention was called to the
illustration in The Sunday Journal which
represented several urchins enjoying a
winter swim in Minnehaha creek. What
shame" said she, 81 venture to say
that every one of them will be down sick
with colds" Meditating for a few mo-
ments, she continued, with emphasis:
what are the park police up to that
they allow them to do such a thing? And
no bathing suits on, either
It would spoil all the fun were to en-
tighten grandma as to what I thought of
"the SWIM" so I switched her off on to
what occurred forty-eight years ago on
the East Side at a winter time INNER
sion of seven colored converts of the Bap-
fist denomination.
It was noised about the little town of
st. Anthony that there was to be bap-
tism a short distance from the brink Of
the falls of st. Anthony, and it was to
take place Immediately after the Sunday
morning service.
At the appointed time the whole town
was represented at the designated place.
The bridge leading over to Hennepin
island was so thronged with people that
! it was feared it might topple over, and
thus give many of the onlookers an I'M
ceremonious baptism. 1t might have
happened had it not been for the fore
thought of Constable William La Shelle
and Street Supervisor Reichard, who did
considerable thinning out of the crowd,
forcing them to the river bank to witness
the ceremony.
The procession from the church was on
time, and while they marched down the
hill near Pingree's furniture factory
singing, the crowd was hushed into ST.
lence, as one of the deacons made q
channel thru the ice to where the water
seldom froze on account of the swift
current, after which, one by one, these
converts were dipped beneath the cold
and swiftly-running waters Of the Mis-
sissippi. Plenty of blankets and buffalo
robes were provided to cover their drip
ping forms while on their return trip Il
the church, where a change Of garment
was to be made.
Happy Day, Happy Day" was thu

The Army Medical Corps.

The president and the secretary of
war are trying tonpersuade congress to
pass a law to provide for a medical
reserve corps for the army. When the
army was reorganized in 1901, con-
gress, instead of charging the medical
corps, actually reduced it to the-con-
dition Of efficiency for $4,000 men,
whereas the maximum strength of the
army was fixed at 100000.
Congress does not seem to have
learned much from the experience Of
the country in war. 1t has not learned
to preserve the lives of soldiers as far
as possible, tho it has before it the
fact that in the rebellion more than
double the number. of men died of dis
ease than died of wounds, that the
Spanish American war opened with a
scandal over the unsanitary camps, and
that the only serious mortality Of the
whole war was due to dirt, poor food
and germ-laden- water. It seems to
congress better economy to pay pen
sions to forty or fifty. thousand vol
aunteers than to employ an adequate
medical corps to take care of the men
while in the service. The lesson to
be learned by the nations from Japan
Is that it pays to have good surgeons
and plenty Of them and to give the
medical corps enlarged power over the
selection of camps, the guidance OF
soldiers in the matter Of food and
drink. There is an impression that
the japanese did something miraculous
during the war with Russia in the way
Of medical care. They did. But the
miracles were merely those of fore
sight and Intelligence. America ha.
/ just as good surgeons, but apparently
she has not as good an oversight of tn,
army. It is not better surgeons tn,

Canada and the Monroe Doctrin

Ot1ldQd d1IlA bll0 NAO w aC0S"A 1890
A new application of the Monroe doc
trine was suggested by the Canadian
minister of militia the other day when
he declared that ''behind the Monroe
doctrine are the guns and warships OF
the United States and the whole power
Of 80 100000 souls and if that doctrine
means anything, it means that Canada
is safe, from foreign aggression This
was spoken in connection with de-
claration that Canada should not con-
tinue to contribute to the British navy
without representation Of some kind in
an imperial council which would have
power to declare war and determine
what was to be done with the warships
constructed.
Canada asserting her national integ-
rity even against the mother country, un-
der the protection of the great repub-
lie, is an unexpected application Of the
Monroe doctrine. Whether it will stand
the test or not perhaps only trial
could determine, for Canada is in diff
ferent relation to the United States
from that occupied by other important
American: nations. Canada is a depend
ency Of Great Britain. Would the
! United States regard coercion Of Cana
da by Great Britain as an infringement
Of the Monroe doctrine9 Canada is
already a possession of Great Britain
and that government would be acquir
ing no rights and privileges on Ameri
can soil that it does not now possess
1t would be simply asserting and main
tanning those rights. And yet, in the
case of Panama the United States saw
fit to protect the young republic from
coercion by the mother country, and I'm

Politics appears to be the bane OF
the department. It is a favorite dump
ng-place for the heelers and runners
of Tammany of the lower class, who
cannot establish any higher claim on
the organization than that of a few

without work, at the expense Of the
taxpayers. III
So far as our own city is concerned
we are conscious of the fact that we
have no STRENGTHENING process worthy
Of the name. Whatever our shortc ON
ings in the matter of cleanliness, we
charge them not to a system Of graft,
but to an Anticipated charter which di-
vides the city for cleaning purposes
into thirteen satrapies, each under the
command Of the prime minister Of an
alderman. The street commissioners
handles fund which belongs to the
ward and is raised exclusively from the
patient dolts who pay the taxes In his
ward. There is no central office ano
no central responsibility.
Some day, when the corporations will
permit, we may have a modernizee
charter, and when it arrives we ought
to take care that it contains wise pro
visions Of law which will give us actual
adequate. STRENGTHENING service, freet
