SOLO MADE A SENSATION.
sarytone Had Caught the Music, But
Not the Words.

A certain young Unitarian minister
is visiting friend and classmate who
lives in Roxbury, says the Boston Her
aid, and while the two were sitting
around fire and spinning yarns the
minister who is visiting and who
comes from the west told this: when
| went west first I was in a small
town called lie, and in the choir
of my church the village blacksmith
did the noble work of barytone. He
had a voice that could shake noun
tains, and whatever it lacked in any
other feature it made up in volume.
He couldn't read music any more than
he could English, but he learned tune
very readily. One Sunday We were
to be favored with a new anthem be-
cause it was a special OCCASION, and
the barytone had one portion all to
himself. Unfortunately he had missed
many of the practices. The anthem
went along excellently until it came
to a beautiful part which read: And,
dying, bids us all aspire Here the
rest of the singers stopped short, in
that quick, sudden way that choirs
have, and in the ensuing stiffness
sounded the ponderous tones of the
blacksmith: And dying brides are
filled with fire."

Destroying Their Own Dogma.

That Kansas City preacher is a
wise man in his generation when
he tells his flock that he is opposed
to the present blue-nosed hysteria
as hurtful to the cause of religion,
points out thatit is by persuasion,
and not by force, that the Gospel
must win, and that the present
campaign which attempts to force
all men to one narrow view, must
inevitably react against religion.
How true all of this is, and yet
how significant of the present de-
generacy and weakness of dog
matte Christianity, that this Kan
sas City minister is the only man
in the pulpit with both the wis
dom to see the extremely hurt
ful effects of such a course, and
the courage to denounce it.
1t is safe to say that the bitter
campaign of three years waged by
Folk and his entire administration
with all the rabid fanatics his
course has turned loose on the
State, has not brought one man
by as much as an eighth of an inch
into closer agreement with the
dogmatic conceptions now forced
upon the people. Why should
such a course convert anybody? +?
What man was ever convinced by
a rap over the head? Not one
anywhere at any time, and yet
this is the exact policy adopted
by the intolerant to force their
narrow views on those who do not
agree with them. What are "con-
verts" to dogmas worth that are
convinced by force? Nothing at
all, but it is a matter of history
that such methods have always
damaged the wielders of the club

One Soldier Dead.
JEAN PAUL WAYNE.

A fair young mother calmly read,
While one hand rocked the cradle bed
Wherein her flrst-born slept away
The twilight OF summer day.
She carelessly the paper turned
Till --latest War News she discerned:
"0ur loss was SMALL" dispatches said
"a skirmish, and one soldier dead"
They troubled not to give his name,
Or e'en the troop from which he came;
For who, rejoicing in success,
Cares If there be one private less?
Only a soldier lying there,
With blood upon his sunny hair,
With no kind friend to raise his head
Or treasure the last words he said.
happy mother, do you know
That not so many years ago
That soldier was baby, too,
With face as sweet and eyes as blue
AS those within yon cradle there,
And knew mothers tender care,
Who now must sit alone and weep
Because he wakes not from his sleepP
And other thousands also said,
"Only private soldier dead,'
Without passing thought that he
Might one of natures mobiles be,
Or that the words that line contained
Would wreck life that yet remained.
His mother waits for him in vain,
For he, her only child, is slain!

Beware Of Frequent Colds.

A succession of colds or a pro-

you cure cold? Why not try

Politics..

When politics ceases to be treat
ed as a money making trade,
when it is no longer looked upon
as joke, when it is not regarded
as an excuse for a little passing
excitement, but is considered
seriously, good government will
begin.
People are too much in the habit
of thinking of politics merely as a
tiresome affair that comes,ur once
a year, like hot weather or cold,
to be endured with the best grace
possible, and got rid of as soon as
may be.
But it is upon politics, pure and
simple, that the future of the coun-
try depends.
By taking an intelligent interest
in it the voter makes himself a
parC OF tne government, ana places
himself in a position to have a
voice its affairs
Byneglecting politics, he furn-
ishes an opportunity for the graft
er and the corporation promoter
to take over the government into
their own hands, and to again
bring about the condition of tax
alton without representation, to
overthrow which our forefathers
fought the war of the Revolution.
Politics should not be a byword
or a joke. 1t should be the serious
affair of every citizen Of the Un-
tied States, and. until it becomes
SO there will be little hope of good
government. --yeau York american.

Gold in the North.

Perhaps the most northerly gold
fields in the world are those in Lap
land, where the River Ivalo seems to
be the center of an auriferous region,
where gold dredging operations have
been carried on for some time. Dig
gings to the depth of 800 feet have
been completed with a view of finding
out the real course of the ore. The
gold discovered last year by COM
pany, founded in the United States,
amounted to only four pounds, valued
at $1,000. This was found along part
of the Ivalo river, and the largest mug
get weighed about 1913 grains There
are three companies digging gold there
now, the latest being the Ivalo COM
pany, organized in the United States.
Within the possessions of this COM
pany lies Kultala, which was built in
1871 by the Finnish government for
washing gold.

Terms That Seem Strange.

There are many puzzling differences
between Scottish and English law
terms. For instance, bankruptcy is
in Scotland "an act of sequestration, ;"
a solicitor is either a writer" or a
law agent" the argument in a case

jury, a wrongdoer is delinquent" an
idiot-in Scottish LAWS "a fatuous
person" and burglary is with true
Scottish caution), "housebreaking

hor is, in Scotland, not person who
rites, but the vender or seller Of real

spent many, many years in making
green lampmats-these mats, you
know. that have fuzzy borders--you
put them on the center of the table
as ornaments-and never, never had
made them of any other color than
green. One day, when in an unusually
wicked mood, she shut herself up in

the blinds, and then, yielding to an
uncomfortable impulse. she dissipated
in the most reckless manner by cro-

Letter from Arkansas.

LOCUST COTTAGE, Jan. 80, 1908.
Ed. Register--Nearly two years
ago I wrote the REGISTER that 1
believed Meyer, Haywood and
Petibone were innocent, and used
some pretty vigorous language.
Shortly afterward got a copy of
a Chicago paper extolling MOZART
land for his capture(?) of those
men, and on the margin of the
paper was written scurrilous in
suit unsigned, and to-day don't
know to whom | am indebted for
that insult-or compliment, as the
case may be. Of course, I paid
no attention to the slur, as words
cannot express my contempt for
one who sends an anonymous in
suit. And now that time and the
courts vindicated me I am entitled
to an apology, but I do not expect
it, for from one who is cowardly
enough to hide his identity while
he seeks to administer an insult,
SO manly a thing as an apology
should never be expected. And
now if the acquittal of those long
prosecuted men had not been suf-
ficient vindication of me, | sub

We have been asking ourselves
the question, what relation had
the suppression of this report te
the resignation of DR.. Wright al

Story?

During the last high water, large
pike and carp made their way up a
drainage canal in Grant township this
county, with the result that Henry
Hanson. farmer. lost young calf,
carried off by giant pike. Melvin
E. Sundvold tells the story as reported
by Hanson.
The farmar heard noise among his
cattle one night and rushed out to-
ward the trouble, which he found was
near the canal. He found several
calves standing belly deep in water,
and noticed one little calf making a
desperate effort to pull is tail free
from something.
The farmer, with his bare legs, was
afraid of barbed wire, but he waded
cautiously toward the calf and just as
he caught 1t monster pike lashed
the water all over him, and for
nom ent he was blinded. Wiping the
water from his eyes, he found the
calf was being dragged toward deep
water. Hanson made desperate eff
fort to reach the animal before itwas
dragged into the canal, but he failed,
and the calf struggled until it finally
drowned.
