A Golden Jubilee.

LastSunday the Ev. Lutheran church
at CORTLAND celebrated its 50th ami
versary with two appropriate services,
one in the forenoon and one in the af-
ternoon. Both were we'll attended.
Rev. Schulz Of Faribault preached in
the forenoon and Rev. Strassen and
Prof. Schlueter of Watertown, Wis,
conducted the afternoon services. The
former read detailed history of the
church from the time of it's organiza-
ton up to the present day. The church
was organized in the year 1859 by Rev.
Paul Rupprecht, then an itenerant
missionary of the Lutheran church who
became the first pastor of the congre-
cation. The following ministers have
served the church since it's organiza-
ton: Paul Rupprecht lS59-lS65; John
Renecke '65-'68; Rev. Stueipnagel
'6S-'72; K. F. Schulze 1852; John
Horst ST. 1928: John Horst jr. '93-
1913: Theo. Schlueter '98-'O4; n. Stras-
sen 1904 up to the present time. A
very large number of New Ulm people
attended and participated in the festi-
vities. The Mixed and Male Choir of
st. Paul's Lutheran church, this city,
was in attendance and furnished excel
lent vocal music. Another church
choir from Nicollet was also present
and assisted in the celebration. The
church is in very Aourishing and pros
porous condition.
There were 43, 018 births in Mime
sofa during 1908, which is doing pretty
we'll for a state with just little over
100000 population. The births
during 1907 were only 1927, but the
officials of the state board of health,
who have just completed the figures,
believe that all the births were not re-
ported in 1907 and previous years and
that in 1908 the reports we're practi-
cally complete.
The deaths for 1908 were less than
half the births, or 2O,715. This does
not include the 1895 stillbirths re-
ported to the board. In 1907 19,945
deaths were reported, including still
births.
The new law, passed in 1907, re-
quiripg death certificate before any
burial permit is issued, is believed to
be responsible for the increase in the
number of deaths reported during
1908, although the increase in popula.
ton is partly responsible.
The record for some of the large
cities for 1908 is as follows: Mime
apolis, births 1886, deaths 3,108: st
Paul, births 1864, deaths 2,l77; Du
1 luth, births 1,735, deaths 1872.
March seems to be the creates
month Of the year for both births ant
deaths.

ously, yet tenderly, that youth may not trample nor old age look with cynic eye Love strewn like red roses, that the clutching hand may drop it's sweated gold to place the red, warm bloom with in a rusted bosom; that the barren hand in every hut and hovel may reach out and grasp it's first real treasure. Yea, this shall make the Christmas heart.
 And these shall make the Christmas prayer: Lips all sweet with gratitude; hands all strong from the workshops close comradery; feet that are weary from field and street; backs that bend beneath the Samaritan load. Yea, these shall make the Christmas prayer.
 And these shall make the Christmas carol The prodigal's song upon the old home road; the scraping of ten thousand chairs in city barracks. where Salvation Army boards complain beneath the feast; the tread of giftfollS upon the tenements dark stairways; the laughter of little children In toyland's mystic realms; silver bells across the hills or snow; the whole glad worlds pure ec- stasy. Yea, these shall make the Christ mas carol.

What Christmas Means.

Christmas means hope and it's realiza- tion. The child grows eagerly expectant as the time approaches for the visit of Santa Claus. While this fiction remains unquestioned, the imagination opens new and wider worlds, and ideals become SO much part of the mind that the prosaic and commonplace can never crush them.
 Until the youth reaches manhood and Independence, Christmas is the happiest day of the year. Its gifts and hearty good cheer impress family affection,
 parental thoughtfulness and brothefly love. The dullest and most irresponsiye of fathers and mothers are uphfted to a vision of higher life by the inter- changes of souvenirs and the merry meeting with children and grandchildren at the table and fireside. Few men can escape and all enjoy the meaning of the festival. the lessons 1t conveys and the inspiration 1t gives. and we sutsr upon . brighter future and fu.!lr apprecia- ton of the beuAdcence of the preedce of faith, hops and charity.

ROBERT T. LINCOLN.
Only Living Son of the lamented
 President.

Robert T. Lincoln, now 66 years old, is the eldest and the only one now sur yiving of Abraham Lincoln's three sons. He is at present President of The Pull man company. Excepting four years as ambassador to England, Mir. Lincoln has devoted his life to business in Chicago. In December American Magazine James Osman contributes a sketch of MT. Lin- coin. He says:
 "In Chicago Robert T. Lincoln occu- pies today position oddly different from that of the other notable men of the city. He is immune to publicity His name rarely appears in the newspapers; even Sunday journalism spares his home life. The grandchildren of Marshall Field are known by name and sight 10 every Chicagoan; three grandchildren of Robert Lincoln, though they are the last representatives of the direct line of the great President, are never heard of.
 '"rhe reason for this is twofold. All his life MT. Lincoln has shrunk, with a rather admirable pride, from posing as the son of his father. This reserve has been respected by the Chicago press. but the observance has been strength ened by the fact that his law partner. as trustee of the estate of Joseph Medill. has been able to keep his name absolute ly out of the columns of the Chicago Tribune, one of the city's most important papers.
 ''The wall of silence has been built slowly. In the days nearer the civil war 1t was impossible for MT. Lincoln to remain long in the background, although he steadfastly refused to appear pub licly save on unusual occasions, like the dedication of the Lincoln monument at Springfield. The people tried hard to force upon him the role that he did not want to play. Republican politicians of the old South town can still recall how the negroes religiously voted for Marse Lncoln's son for every office from con- stable to President. In spite of himself MT. Lincoln was forced to bow to this demand when 1t assumed commercial instead of a political form. His name was wanted in connection with all the largest financial enterprises of his city, and the golden opportunities thus pre- scented have brought him a comfortable fortune.
 Upon the personality of MT. Lincoln, as he is today, the fact that he has been ambassador to England seems to have left stronger impression than the fact that he is the son of one of the few greatest Americans. He has the tricks of the court of St James in his bearing and his accent. He proaounces royal as if it were spelled 'r'yal,' and there is a clipping of the final y's and a slurring of vowels that strikes strangely upon the mid-western ear To csrry the ip sular illusion further. his whole pres- ence is strongly reminiscent of that of Lord Salisbury. The Cecil stoop is un mistakable. The 1eonine head is sunk forward upon the breast, the square body moves as if cast in a single piece. the voice is low and heavy.
 MT. Lincoln finds his main recreation in golf He suffered slight sun-stroke at the recent dedication of the Lincoln farm at Hodgenville Ky, but has recov- cred from it's effects during . summer spent at his country place at Manches- ter-in-the-M Mountains in Vermont"

postrunner still swings his baskets across his shoulders, precisely as his ancestors did long ago. In Formosa, als0 the mails are carried to this day by a man on foot, who jogs along with a paper lantern and an umbrella.
 In Siberia, except along the lines of railway, reliance Is had on post sledgea and there are places where more than two deliveries a year would be excep- tional.
 In China, in the interior except in a few districts, there is no regular letter delivery, and consequently no postmaU. But many of the mandarins and taotais maintain unofficial services of their own, keeping their runners up to the mark by the simple expedient of occasionally beheading a laggard or two.

Difficulties Under Which Letters Are

 There are parts of the world where the task of the letter carrier is actually attended with serious danger and where he not infrequently loses his life in the line of duty.
 In Switzerland there exists several postoffices at a height of TOGO or more feet. There is letter box on the very summit of the Languard. from which four collections are made daily The box is nearly 10000 feet above the sea level. Here, some few years ago. three letter carriers were crushed 70 death by an avalanche. In neighboring canton, in the summer of 1908, a postnlan fell into a crevasse while crossing a glacier his two full bags on his back. All efforts to recover either the body or the mails were of no avail But, a few years thereafter the glacier gave up it's prey many miles lower down the valley, and the long lost letters were delivered to as many of the addresses as could be traced
 Another danger to which the Swiss let ter carrier is exposed Is attack by the huge, fierce eagles that soar hungrlly above the least freouented passes. Usu-

ally the men are able to beat off their feathered assailants, but not always.
 In India the letter carrier has his troubles in the form of snakes. In one year alone, it is estimated, no fewer than 135 carriers met their death through being bitten by poisonous snakes. A trifie of 27 or so were killed and eaten by tigers and other wild beasts.
 The camel postman of the Sahara hin- terland is another who needs lots of nerve. inasmuch as the wild tribesmeu of the desert regard him as their natural prey; so that it may be raid he never knows, when he sets out m the morning, whether he will reach his destination at night.

house said it was the cry Of a Wild eat,
He thought no more Of the matter until
he was ready To 10 home. When he
came out Of the house. his horse seemed
afraid, and the cause of the animals
fear became evident when another shrek
came from the wild cat, which by this
time. was proving nearer the house.
When the doctor started down the
road. the animal followed some dis

it grew 10 bold that 1t skunk along in
