Is very careful about her churn. She
scaldS it thoroughly after using. and gives
it sun bath to Sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
ceSSeS which are exactly akin to the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
inatiOn of disease throughout the body.

Sam Walsh. of kIldora, brought to
this office Tuesday, some of the finest
Bermuda onions that we have seen in
several years. They were nearly all
the same size, but one little larger
than the Others measured seventeen
and a half inches in circumference.
Mr.. Walsh had quarter of an acre
planted in onions. and the crop yielded
one hundred and twelve bushels and
one peck actual measurement He also
had Il good crop of caulifiOwer, English
peas, beets, beans and sweet corn, all
of which brought him good prices.
Mr.. Walsh says he has fine crop of
guavaS and will have fifty punches

to stimulate new earnestness and

are sure to command popular favor.
The opportunity for broader ministry
is opening before u.s. The community
is friendly. The unfortunate are be-
ginning to recognize the intelligence
and kindliness of our attitude. Let us
enter upon the new year with fresh
courage, faith and hope.
Causes of distress, treatment of ap-
plicantS and the disposition of appli-
cants by placing them in alms-houses,
or other schools are noted. Children
are cared for. Some are committed
to insane asylums, refugees other eX-
posed as frauds, or dismissed, with
lfeeueu ADVICE, some refused WORK,
some placed on probation.
The reported increase in the number
of persons, or families, of the resident
class, two hundred and fifteen, is due
to various causes, the main one being
the great use of this Office by the police
and courts, over fifty per cent. of the
residents coming from that source for
Investigation. Individuals and sOcie-
ties are also using us more for infor-
nation and advice. The increase
therefore not an Indication of the lack
of food, fuel, Or material things general
ly, but simply shows IA greater co-ope-
alton. The general call upon the
charity of the city has been much less
than in former years, for work has
been, and still is, abundant, so that
not much relief is required. except in
the case of the aged, or disabled, and
children
The notable falling off in the non
resident element, two hundred and
seventy-two, is probably due to the
increased opportunities for employ
ment afforded by the open winter, and
the general prosperity.

TWO PRAYERS,

a little girl knelt by her bed one night,
TO say her evening prayer,
The moonbeams stole thru the curtains
And kissed her floating hair.
she clasped her hands and WHISPERED
low.
Dear God. way, way up there.
Cant YOU see I'm all alone, dear God,
So send down an angel bright,
For Mamma and Papa have gone to
the ball,
And I'm scared without any light,
And Grandma once said angels cared
for a child
No matter how dark was the night"
Then the FL little head fell on the cover
And there on her knees fast asleep,
The angels were lowering round the
sweet child
Their heavenly vigil to. keep
While the mother in glittering
diamond and lace
With the dancers did joyously sweep.
A sound es rent the air. shock rent the
And Frisco in ashes did lay.
The mother forgot all her diamonds
and lace
And knelt on the debris to pray,
"Oh! Cod save my child" but alas!
twas too late,
For the angels had born her away.

are any citizens of this state who
by their political positions hold up
and rob legitimate enterprises the
people ought to know who they are
80 that they may be placed where
they belong.
Now, Mr.. Hill, few questions!
Who created the political grafters
of Minnesota? Who manipulated the
legislatures of this state for forty
years to secure greater concessions
for the railroads. Who was the
power behind Mike Dorans influ-
ence for bad in both of the old
parties, and in the states law
making body? Poor old Doran went
broke recently, and it is said that
he visited Mr.. Hill, the recipient of
the fruits OF his bossism, and with
tears streaming down his cheeks
told Of his financial predicament.
Hill wrote him check for $4,000
and admonished his old political
henchmen to quit gambling and pay
his debts
One other question, Mr.. Hill. Who
gave Robert Evans twenty-four hours
to declare his position on railroad
matters during his candidacy for
the United States senate, when Tom
Lowry spent $4,000 to get into the
game, and the election resulted in
the naming of Moses E. Clapp, who
was known not be unfriendly to Mr..
Hill?
Here is our final question:-Who
offered immense sums of money to
the newspapers of Minnesota during
Gov. Van SAINTS memorable fight
against the Northern Securities
company, for the publishing of a
speech delivered by Mr.. Hill to the
farmers of the Red River valley de-
Tending his part in the organization
of the great railroad trust? The
Labor World was told at the time
of two editors of weekly newspapers
who received $3.50 each for the
publication of the speech in full.
The Labor World did not publish
the speech. We simply gave edi-
torial comment upon it consistent
with the policy of this paper, and
it's relation to the working class.
1t is due to the people of Mime
sofa that James j. Hill, the recipient
of their boundless generosity, shall
make known to them the names of
the men who by political grating,
are retarding the industrial progress
Of the state.
