The Great Want of the Age.

The great want Of this age is men
who are honest to the bottom, sound
from center to circumference, true
10 the hearts core. Men that fear
The Lord and hate covetousness. Men
who will condemn wrong in friend
aor foe, in themselves as well as IN
Others. Men whose conciences are
steady as the needle to the pole. Men
who will stand for the right if the
heavens totter and the earth reels.
Men who can tell the truth and defy
the world. Men who can look the
devil right in the eye and tell him
he lies. Men that neither brag nor
run. Men that neither swagger nor
finch. Men who can have courage
without whistling for it, and Joy
without shouting to bring it. Men
In whom the current of everlasting
life runs still, and deep and strong:
Men careful of Gods honor and
careless of mems applause. Men too
large for sectarian limits, and too
strong for sectarian bands. Men
who do not strive, nor cry, nor cause
their voices to be heard in the street;
but who will not fail, nor be dis
couraged, till judgment be set in
the earth. Men who know their
message and tell it. Men who know
their duty and do it. Men who know
their place and fill it. Men who minc
their own business. Men who are
not too lazy to work, nor too prouo
proud to be poor. Men willing te
eat what they have earned, and weal
what they have paid for. Men who
know in whom they have trusted
Men whose feet are on the everlast'
ing Rock. Men not ashamed of then
hope. Men strong with Divine
strength, wise with heavenly wisdom
loving with the love of Christ. Mer
of God!-Selected.

LAWMAKERS SHAKEN IN WRECK
Five South Dakota SoIons in Smash
Up-No Lives Are Lost,

Five state legislators and other pas
;engers on the west-bound Milwaukee
rain had narrow escapes from serious
injury and possible death eleven miles
vest of Aberdeen. The train, with a
lOuble header. crashed into a freight
rain going in the same direction, and
The passengers got a severe shaking
up.
A high wind, which blew the loose
snow i'll clouds, prevented Engineer
Slater on the front engine OF the pas
senger train from seeing the freight
train, and the only warning he had
was a flag thrown through his win
dow by the brakeman OF the freight
train, who had run back to stop the
passenger train.
Slater applied the air brake, and
both engines were thrown off the
track after demolishing the caboose
and freight car. The engine crew
jumped, Slater hurting his hip badly
and Fireman Rittenberg sustaining
body bruises. Several passengers were
thrown from their seats.
The wreck happened a few feet
from a deep rayine, the scene OF a re-
cent freight wreck. Had not warning
been given it is believed the wreck
would have resulted in the loss of
many lives.
The legislators on the train were
Representatives Parmley of Edmunds
county and family. Foncannon OF
Mcpherson and Bibelheimer of Wal
worth and Senator Overholzer and
wife of Walworth and Hepperlee of
Mcpherson. They were on their way
home from the capital.
