t1ust Cost and Hurt.


eff Lent is to be worth while to you,
you must put into it something more
than a general sympathy with the
church's customs, something more than
a languid effort to attend church more
frequently. There must come out of
your life and go into the lifes of the
church something that looks remark
ably like your hearts blood-it may be
devotion, it may be money, it may be a
sin from whose power you have
wrenched away. it may be an outpour-
ing of love, but it must cost, it must
hurt, it must be something that you
connot give without the help of Christ,
something which drives you to your
knees to make you part with it, and
brings the tears of pain. That is what
Lent is.
And so 1 plead with you to live It
as it is. l can't make your resolutions
for your, or prescribe your diet or reg
ulate your devotions; but beg of you,
when all these things have been de-
cided on, when you have set your
mark, when you have before you what
you purpose by Gods help to do, beg
Of you to hold it up by the side of the
cross, by the side Of the suffering Sa-
vior, by the wounds In hands and feet
and side, and see how 1t looks to you
then. If it mocks you, pull it down and
start over again. If by the side of that
tremendosu sacrifice, it looks as though
you had been playing. triftng, frtvol-

Thursday, Sept. 3, 1s46-Yesterday we
marched 10 miles. our sick were a
little on the mend. We had tried to
follow the course mapped out to US by
President Young TO 'let the surgeon
and his medicine alone and live by
faith. II we doCtored. let IL be with
herbs" During the afternoon Lieut.
Smith discovered some sick In a wagon
who had not reported, and he hauled
them out very abruptly. The old sur
geon stood by hollering damn them
haul them out" The Lieutenant then
asked one Of the sick men (Brother
Duncan) II he had taken any medicine?
He answered that ''he had" The lieu
tenant then asked who had administer
I'd II and on learning that II had been
without the surgeons orders. he swor9
that I'm case any man in the battalion
did the like again. he would cut their
damned throat" He then said 20 Dun
can IL he took medicine in n like man
ner again he would tie him by tho
neck to a wagon wheel and haul him
one day" At the beating of the tattoo
the orderly sergeant went to Lieut..
Smiths tent as the tattoo was beaten
at his quarters, and was ordered to
have the sick report themselves next
morning to the surgeon and be under
his care. or they would be left on the
prairie. This course OF things looked
tough toaus. as the surgeon had been
heard 20 say while in conversation with
Lieut.. Smith that "he would send as
many Of us 10 hell as he could" We
had not been accustomed to such Ian
guage and Il did not look like carrying
out the pledges OF our late Col. Allan.
and Il appeared to us we were to be
brought into Strengthened circum-
stances. We marched 26 miles today.
Friday. Sept. 4, ls46-At sick call
those who were unable TO travel report
ed themselves to tho surgeon, not only
TO receive his medicine but also his
wicked cursing, which, however. did
not avail much. DR.. Sanderson, our

Among recent stories OF work horses,
that told OF two belonging to a New

POLICE IS SHOT
Chas. Welsh Turns Anarchist
and is Shot in His Tracks
in G. N. Office, 81. Paul.

Charles P. Welsh, discharged
special agent of the Great Northern
railroad, was shot and killed
Tuesday by A. G. Ray, chief Of
the roads special agents. The
shooting occurred in Rays office in
the Great Northern building at St.
Paul. and was in self defense, as
Welsh, angered by the loss of his
position and the refusal of his de-
mand to be returned to the service,
threatened to "get'' Ray yet and
went into his office and began fir
ing at Ray. After firing five shots
he threw package, which was after
ward found to contain nitrogly-
cerine. The fact that Welsh was
confused by shot fired by Ray and
threw the package with little force
is all that prevented a terrible ex-
plosion. Just at this time Ray
fired several shots, his bullets took
effect and Welsh staggered into an
anteroom and fell dead. Welsh is
we'll .known at Willmar, having
served as company police in the To-
cal yards. He was discharged on
account Of an attack on George
Miller of Duluth last June.
