UNLIKE MODERN CORNER"
Fortunate Mar Refused to Make Mon
ey Out Of the Misfortunes
Of His Fellows.

This story is told on David Brew
ster, a farmer who lived near Del
phos for 40 years. During grass
hopper times many years ago Mr..
Brewster fortunately had a crib full
of corn, and corn got to be worth
more than money in that part of the
state. Two new settlers who we're
just about starving went to buy a
little of the grain.
Mr.. Brewster" said one of the
would-be buyers, "will you sell US
a little of that corn?"
"Not a id ear" was the reply.
"But we 1T nearly starved, and
here is the money; just name your
price," said one Of the men.
put up your money. I'm not
selling any corn" he replied.
"But we will pay you $3.50
a bushel."
Didn't I say l wouldn't sell you
any corn? Do you take me for a
liar?"
The men turned to depart.
"Say," called Brewster, "drive
around to the end of the crib and
put in ten bushels, but not an ear
more. Pm not going to get rich off
my neighbors' misfortunes. There
are a lot of people around here who
will need corn, and it must be di-
vided into lots"
And the crib of corn, which would
have brought its owner a small for
tune, was given to his neighbors who
were not so fortunate as himself

Al Old Landmark Gone.

The recent dismantling of the
old st. Paul church Immediately
northeast of the city limits has
taken away one of the old land
marks in this neighborhood.
Only a large pile of old brick re-
mains. The church was built
in 1889 at a cost of about 5000,
replacing the first church built
of logs. In 1860 it was dedicat-
ed by RetS &c. Johannes NJ.
Hahn and F. J. Biltz, at that
time pastor of the st. Paul con
gregation.
The old building has seen joy
full and sad, as well as historical
scenes. The incident of October
10, 1864, is we'll remembered by
the old settlers in this neighbor-
hood. On that day the citizens
of Concordia were thrown in
CONSERVATION by the report.that
bushwhackers were in the neigh
borhood. The alarm was given
by a bugle call and the citizens
gathered at this old church,
where a company of 100 men
was hurriedly organized under
command of Captain Pepper and
Lieutenant Stuenkel. Fifty were
mounted; half of this number
went east and the others north
east to head the bushwhackers
off before crossing Davis creek.
Those going east encountered
the enemy about 100 strong land
fled, being closely pursued by
the bushwhackers, who shot
them down along the way. Only
five or six escaped.
In 1880 the church was rebuilt
at an additional cost of 81, 500,
but the congregation grew and
it became necessary to build ithe
new grand edifce in town.
Who will describe the pathetic
scenes that took place at the old
st. Paul church and count the
tears shed at the biers of the de.

were baptized and confr ned

GIRL OF MANY |

Mrs. Bleakem-George, this is
the most interesting novel l ever
read. Just listen dear: In the
tenth chapter the heroine sees the
hero approaching and she turns
pink. He kisses her and she turns
red. A footstep is heard and she
turns white. Five minutes later the
villain arrives and she turns purple
with rage. Now wouldn't you call
such a girl as that a heroine,
George?

County Exhibitors.

am pleased to inform the readers
of your paper that l now have a sup
ply of State Fair Premium Lists in
my office for distribution to those
who are interested in making exhi-
bits at the Missouri State Fair at
Sedalia this fall. The State Fair
dates are October End to 8th.
Our State Fair is growing at a
rapid rate and the Premium List
each year shows increased premiums
and additional departments and
hope that a large number of exhibits
will be made by citizens of this
county. There is no better oppor.
tunity to advertise the resources of
our county than to make good ex-
hibits at the State Fair.
The directors are making a special
effort this year for a big corn show IN
addition to the regular agricultural
exhibits. The premiums for county
exhibits are large and will more than
pay the expense of getting together
a good exhibit.

The railroad question in Mis-

ant topic in more respects than
one. During the last year or
two Missouri's efforts have been
devoted to knocking railroads.
1t is all right to hold the great
corporations well in check, but
it must be remembered that
Missouri has not yet passed the
development stage. Missouri
has fewer railroads per square
mile than any other Mississippi
valley state except Arkansas.
The state needs more and better
transportation facilities. We

Arrogant Servants.

Less than one year the Des Moines
plan, which is revision of the
Galveston plan, has been in opera
tion. The change it has worked in
civic affairs is remarkable. Ina
gine a city hall which is never vi
sited by politicians, imagine ses-
sion Of the council when important
contracts are to be let, attended by
no "wire pullers. Imagine a
dozen vacancies on the police force,
but no "ward heelers'' seeking to
control the appointments, imagine
a city controlled in the same way
great corporations control their
plants-by capable superintendents
in each department. Think of
these things and some idea is gained
of the way Des Moines is governed.
But we cannot have the benefits
of this splendid reform in Minneso-
ia. The gang that is running the
legislature will not permit it. The
gang, too, votes down the initiative
and referendum and other practical
and progressive measures that are
demanded by the people-it seems
to be the deliberate purpose to deny
the people more direct power, more
independence of the corruptionists
and political bosses. Men elected
by the people and hired at 81 900
Tor 80 day session to serve them,
arbitrarily set themselves above the
people and refuse them the right to
declare at a popular election their
wishes upon proposed measures and
laws.
It will be strange indeed if the
people forget the willful course of
their representatives-and stranger
yet if they do not rebuke them
whenever they again present them
selves for office and solicit, palaver
and coax for votes.-Albert Lea
Standard.

Editor Willmar Tribune:
My interest in Social Christianity

that has tended to misrepresenta-

most of our controversies mere
logomachies, l hope to save any
further unintelligent strife amongst
my invisible congregation by ask
ing you to kindly print the follow

My interest in what is called
Social Christianity has developed
slowly. l can remember the time
when was loaded with individual
ism. l was disposed to treat light
" the economic program for the
worlds betterment-claiming that
they were either political or ma
terialistic and not within the range
of the Christian pulpit. But have
changed on this question. have
not surrendered my individualistic
connections; they are as sacred as
ever. l know today that the best
thing any minister can do for the
world is to so declare the Truth
that some individual will accept it
and live by it. All this is mine,
hut something more has come to
me. see in Christianity pro-
gram for society. A program not
only for the individual, but for in
dividuals in the relations Of BROTH
erhood. And so today l am not
afraid of economics as once was.
Those schemes for bettering the
conditions amid which men live are
no longer mere PHILOSOPHERS Of dirt.

NO PROGRESS WITHOUT KNOCK.
ERS. Cash

At the last meeting of the Mime
sofa Editorial Association Charles
Schurman of the West St. Paul
Times read a paper in which he
roasted the 'knocker. He also,
in this paper, took occasion to
praise "Jim" Hill and laud him to
the skies. AS soon as this was
done, Editor J. E. Childs of the
Waseca Herald, who by the way is
also the president of the National
Bank of that city, got up on his
feet and took issue with Mr.. Schur-
man in a manner which gave him
long continued applause. His re-
marks were published in one of the
newspaper weeklies and we here
with reproduce them for the benefit
of our readers:
"[ cannot let this paper go by

with Mr.. Schurman. but l do want
to state my views plainly.
knockers have done more than
all the conservatives ever born.
Christ was a knocker, St. John was
a knocker, Abraham Lincoln was a
knocker. To do away with the
knockers, what would the world
be?
Martin Luther rose to be the
apostle of God himself, and he was
a knocker. Are you going to do
away with all of them? protest
that the knockers of this country
have rendered better service than
was ever given by the conservatives
and without them you would not
have a republic. Who was Wash
ington, Franklin and Jefferson?
Knockers, every one of them.
II say, don't go too far against
the knocker. These men were all
knockers, and they are the kind of
men l believe in and in which all
young men should believe.

Jim Hill up as noble man and one
to be emulated by the youth of this
state. l call this detrimental to
the state and the people who live
in it. You protest against knock.
ing him. l praise knocking him
and call for more of it against such
men as he is. l will admit that he
has helped to build up the north
west; but were it not for the knock
er there is no knowing how far jim
Hill would go.
II say God bless the knocker anc
keep him safe from harm. While
he lives, Jim Hill and his type car
