New Years Day

When with changing and with ringing
Comes the years initial day,
can feel the rhythmic swinging
OF the world upon its way;
And though Right still wears a fetter,
And though Justice still is blind,
Times beyond is always better
Than the paths he leaves behind.
In our cons of existence,
AS we circle through the night,
We annihilate the distance
'Twixt the darkness and the light
From beginnings crude and lowly,
Round and round our souls have
trod
Through the circles. winding slowly,
Up TO knowledge and to God.
With each century departed
Some old evil foun datom b,
Some old evil found a tomb,
In propitious soil to bloom
With each epoch some condition,
That has handicapped the race
(Worn out creed or superstitition)
Unto knowledge yields its place.
Though in folly and in blindness
And in sorrow still we grope,
Yet in mans increasing kindness
Lies the worlds stupendous hope
For our darkest hour of errors
Is as radiant as the dawn,
Set beside the awful terrors
OF the ages that have gone.
And above the sad worlds sobbi9g
And the strife of clan with clan,
| can hear the mighty throbbing
OF the heart of God in man.
And a voice chants through the chin
ing
OF the bells and seems to say,
We are climbing, we are climbing,
AS we circle on our way

WELL PLEASED WITH ST. CLOUD.
Letter From Sensible and Satisfied
Woman. 20

Editor National Tribune: VIII YOU
allow me short space in your val
liable paper, the old soldiers old friend,
we surely find it. Some of our friends
in the North have got the impression
We don't like st. Cloud, and we want
to say we are delighted with it in so
many ways. We certainly have a fine
climate and beautiful townsite. I
can imagine how st. Cloud will look in
the near future with its green lawns,
beautiful shrubs and flowers, electric
lights and street cars. It Is Thanks
giving Day, and we have only had the
fire of an oil stove yet in our house
1t is little cool, but everything is
green and growing. We find it cheaper
to live here than in the North. 1t is
so grand and easy to live the simple
life here to what 1t is in the cold
hearted North. The bill of fare is
good. Milk and honey don't flow down
the streets yet, but we look for it
soon. The Company is doing every
thing they can as fast as they can for
the people here. One can have a
faint idea of what they have to do
when they go to their Office and wait
crowd. They don't turn any away not
satisfied If they can please them. OF
course, everyone Is not suited. Some
want telephones to Mars. The Com
pany hasn't the line there yet. The
most Of US are looking for great
things and are happy. Now, / think
my friends can see we like st. Cloud,
and we expect to like II better as the

SONS OF THE G. A. r..
Crockcr Post Starts a New Movemer

Crocker Post, G. A. r., Des Moines,
Iowa, has started movement which
promises to be of high importance A
committee consisting of Gen. J. l.
Prime, Capt. II. NJ. Pickle and H. C.
Windsor has been appointed to confer
with the sons of veterans in Des Moines
and the G. A. r. Post in view of organ
izing the Sons of the Grand Army of
the Republic. If this proposition meets
with favor, it will be presented to the
Department Encampment at it's next
meeting, with the expectation of receiv-
ing its Endorsement. The idea is to get
all of the sons of comrades included in
great order. which will take up the
work of the veterans as 1t falls from
their failing hands. The duties of the
members of the order will be to care
for and help veterans in all the phases
of life, watch by the bedside of the sick,
care for those who may fall by the way
side, bury the dead and carry on the
work of Memorial Day and patriotic
teaching. 1t is claimed that after 80
years' experience the Sons of Veterans
organization is not extensive enough for
this work, and that it should be supple
mented or co-ordinated with a new or
ganization.

The latest in football circles is that

OF Yale and Harvard the other day,

President Hadley ana President Low

II must go as far as their institutions
were concerned unless amended. If
Mr., Camp has gone seriously TO work,
aud the protest which has gone up
ffom all over the country this Autumn
asainat tho cruelty and danger of foot
bali has put a very serious aspect on
the situation. he Will undoubtedly ac-
complah hia purpose. and ir II can be
made q safe game for our young men

In fact. everyone viii be very glad,
for football Is unaucstionably a fine
game, and in no better way can some
OF our big, overgrown boys work off
their superabundant vitality. 1t Keeps
d lot OF young fellows out or serious
mischief, and that is big factor in
its favor with mothers and sisters.
The woman who can make a toilet
quickly has great advantage over her
poky sisters She usually comes in
for lot of eleventh hour invitations,
and If she is sensible as well as swift
| in her movements, she is the richer

auto ride, etc. "Oh, let's go for Miss
or Mrs. SO and so, she never takes a
minute to dress" or Il would like to
take Mrs. only it takes her forever
to change her dress, and we haven't
the time to wait for her." and so II
goes. But all the same it is a good
| deal of trial, even for a woman pos
sessing this faculty, to be called upon
to make herself presentable with about
ten minutes or so to do it in. The
other evening Prof. Burgess and Mrs
| burgess received telephone message
| from the German Kaiser to dine with
him that evening. The message was
received at GAS, and the Burgesses
We're ordered to take the seven O'Clock
train for Potsdam. The Professor was
compelled to say that 1t would be i'm
possible for them to do that, but that
they would take the one leaving al
1880. He was informed that that
would be satisfactory to the Kaiser
then both of them rushed off to dress
They made the train, but Mrs. Bur-
CESS was put to it to do her hair as
they sped along, and to request hel
husband to fasten the few tiny hooks
which the nervous hands of her hur.
ried maid had missed.

Honor to Mrs. Brownlow,

Mrs. w. G. Brownlow. the venerable
widow of the famous Parson Brown
low, is still living in Knoxville at the
age of 80. Recently n. b. Forrest
Camp, Confederate Veterans, of Chat
tanooga, paid visit of honor to Mrs
Brownlow on her Goth birthday, and
presented her with a series of rcsolu-
tions thanking her and her husband
for the action which her husband took
while Senator from Tennessee toward re-
moving the disabilities of the Confed-
crates. An address was made by DR..
j. w. Bachman, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Chattanooga
and other speeches followed. With
Mrs. Brownlow at the time were her
two daughters and Col John Bell
Brownlow. In spite of her 80 years
she still enjoys excellent health, and
has the possession of most of her
faculties. She made quite a pleasant
and appropriate reply to the resolutions
and speeches.
