The Primeval Forest.
from the introduction to "Evangoine."l
This Is the forest primeval. The murmur-
ing pines and the hemlocks.
Bearded with moss and In garments
green indistinct In tine twilight,
Stand like Druids of eld. with voices sad
and prophetic:
Stand like harpers boar, with heards that
rest on their bosoms
Loud from its rocky caverns the deep
voiced neighborlng ocean
Speaks and In accents discomolate an
swers the wall OF the forest.
This Is the forest primeval. but where are
the hearts that beneath it
Leaped like the roe when he hears in the
woodland the voice Of the huntsman?

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AA'sh'SiHa
Minnehaha Council No. al was in
stituted Feb. 25, 1899, with a charter
list of ten members Of whom the fol
lowing are still actively interested in
pushing it's growth: William Weed, c.
A. Vandever, W. W. Smith, F, S.
Spencer, Fred Thompson. The present
membership is $50 and at Saturdays
meeting it is expected that a dozen
new members will be initiated.
William Weed is entitled to the credit
Of having started the movement that
resulted in the institution 3of Mime
haha council, and he has never relaxed
his efforts to promote it's growth, which
has been really remarkable considering
the fact that Minneapolis already had
in No. So the council with the largest
membership in the United States. Both
councils have prospered, thus demon
strating that there was plenty of room
for Minnehaha without conflicting with
No. IS.

THE GOOD OF THE ORDER.

U, c. T. influence is being felt these
days. The Ohio legislature has passed
a rate bill fixing railroad fares at
cents a mile as the direct result of
agitation set on foot by commercial
travellers thru their organization. In
Minnesota uniform rate of 2 cents
mile for purchasers of 5,O0O-mile
books is likely to be secured. At j
conference of U. C. T. representatives
with the railroads last Saturday the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
500 railroads indicated that they would
agree to interchangeable mileage with
the Western Passenger association
roads, provided a 5yD00-mileage book
is adopted by them and another con-
ference will be held at Chicago. This
will do away with the rebate plan
which holds $3.50 of the travelling
mans money on the purchase of
2,O0O-mile book on the Western Pas
senger association roads and will Sc
cure a reduction of Y cent a mile on
the northern roads. It is thought that
it will be no hardship to require the
purchase of 5,O00-mile books as all
travelling men use more than that in
the course of year.
The Georgia U. G. IT'S are modest.
They only ask to have a law passed to
compel landlords to furnish hotel
guests with clean bed sheets. In Ohio
the U. G. 7. have induced the fire mar
shall to make hotel inspection thru
out the state in regard to the safety
of hotels and the provisions for fire
escapes. Minnesota has a good hotel
law, covering everything that is really
needed for hotel fire protection. There
is just one thing the matter with it and
that is vital-it has no penalty for non
compliance so that it cannot be en-
forced thru the courts. This will be
attended to at the next session of the
legislature, the assurance is given, and
the U. G. T. is going to see that it is
attended to. '6u1s79#
Some of the best speeches made at
the talk fest in connection with the
eighth annual convention at ST. Paul
Thursday, of the Northwestern Leather
and Shoe association banquet, were by
travelling men. Will Hathaway gave
some practical advice on the practice Of
allowing the return of goods. George
H. Cravens presented the salesman as
the customers best friend in strong
light. F. T. Dexter talks Of the con-
sideration that the travelling represen-
tatives should have from their firm and
H. K. Richardson fairly whooped it up
on the subject Of the enthusiasm that
should be instilled into business.
Kansas City papers are praising q
travelling man who took poor woman 5
part at Newton, Kan The woman was
travelling with the corpse of her hus
band and was accused by restaurant
keeper of stealing 500. The travelling
man prevented her being arrested by
taking up a collection among the pas
sengers; that satisfied the hard-heartet
lunch counter pirate and left 1915
for the woman and her children. Thu
story was a very pathetic one in which
the commercial traveller figured will
credit to. himself and his calling.

ern Railway, made the statement that. no matter
how great the earnings of the Great Northern

the rule that stockholders should never receive
a higher dividend than per cent.
Mr.. harrington also said that Improvements
were paid for out of the surplus until a new
issue Of stock became necessary, when stock was
issued in blocks of s25. 100000. Mr.. Harrington
was asked by Commissioner Staples what be-
came Of the S25.0o0.ooo realized from the sale
OF stock.
IniS goes back into the treasury to make
good the expenditures for improvements made
from the surplus" said Mr.. harrington, land 10

that not over per cent shall be paid in inter-
