BEATITUDES

At the very beginning of the Ser
mon on the Mount in what has come
to be called the Beatitudes, Jesus
enumerated the qualities in man
which connect him with God. 'fBless-
ed are the pure in heart; for they
shall see God" Blessed, are the
meek: for they shall inherit the
earth Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy" Bless
ed are the peacemakers': for they shall
be called the children Of God When
these qualities of purity, meekness,
mercy, and love take possession OF
the human mind they connect the hu
man with the divine, and when the
connection is thus established there
flows into the human consciousness
the divine love that heals and re-
generates.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE is NOT HYP-
kOTISM.

that time to the present the man
made of dust has been sinner and
has been at enmity with God.
The great difference between Chris
tan Science and all other systems
of religious teaching is that Christian
Science accepts the first account of
the creation as true, while all others
accept the second account as the ba-
build. All through the centuries the
trouble has been that people have
regarded the Adam man as being the
real man, created by God in His Inn
age and likeness, and have tried to
make the goodness and omnipotence
of God fit the creation of a sinner.
Christian Science maintains that
man was made in the image and like
ness of God, and that he is spiritual
and not material. To believe that
God made man of dust is to make
God responsible for all the sin and
misery that have filled the world
from beginning of time. Such be-
lief is monstrous, and is neither sup
ported by the Scriptures nor by rea-
SON 1t dishonors God and degradses
mortals, and the best proof that it
is erroneous is the fact that 1t has
never delivered men from either
sickness or sin.
AS time goes on humanity exhibits
an ever decreasing interest In theo-
ries about God that are not helnful
and practical This tendency has beer
deplored by the churches as indica-
ting a loss of interest in religion, but
t is not so. 1t indicates tremen-
1ous desire for religion that is prac-
ical.

even if it were not acting and react

for the service of several average NOR
tails, in such lesser crises as each days |
ordinary labor compels them to face.
But every man, whether his business
is large or little, wants the full use
of his mind in it from hour to hour,
and if he has done anything to blunt
the keen edge of his intellectual fac
ulties he is sorry for it-afterward.
Why not let the remorse operate be-
forehand, to restrain him from the
particular form of folly that dimin'
ishes his usefulness the day after it
is committed? The old joke about the

funny as it used to be. The morning
head a man has to have nowadays is
one that can see clearly, talk ration

what it hears and says and sees, for

Undoubtedly it was the remembrance
of these early days that prompted
Senator Nelson to come to the aid of
Folke Brandt, the young Scandinavian
whose pardon he was instrumental in
securing and whom he has taken to
Minnesota to begin life anew.
Chicago was Senator Nelson's first
home in America. Here he aided in
the support of the family by selling
papers on the streets. In 1850 the
mother and son went to Walworth
County, Wis, and located on an I'M
productive little sand farm. When
he was 16 young Knute heard that at
Albion Seminary, which was conduct
ed by Seventh-Day Baptists, boy
could get an education without mon
ey. He at once set out on tramp of
sixteen miles to see about it. For
two years he remained at the semi.
nary, doing chores for people in the
vicinity to pay for his tuition and
board.
When the war broke out Senator
Nelson, with twenty of his fellow stu
dents, enlisted. He served three
years was wounded, taken prisoner
at Port Hudson, and came out cor
poral. He then finished his seminary
course, read law in Senator Villas of
fee in Madison, was admitted to thu
bar, and elected to the Wisconsin leg
islature before he was "a years old.
In 1870 he removed from Wisconsin

General Armstrong appealed to the

THE BOY WHO MEETS THE TRAIN

The boy who meets the train is not
an isolated example. Often he is so
well represented at the village and
small town stations that he makes a
crowd. He makes the trip from one
to four or more times when not busy
at something else. Usually he is on
time, reaching the depot as much as
fifteen minutes before the train ar
rives, and spending as much time after
it leaves. There is little to do but idly
watch the train and it's passengers to
see who gets off, and talk with others
who came with as little purpose as
himself.
Long day journeys prove that the
number of boys who meet the train IL
large. How ruthlessly they waste time.
The hour or two spent each day In
meeting the trains is largely Wasted.
and yet they do not seem to give II =
serious thought. They lack plan Of
any definite object. Nothing has to

kNUTE nelson OF MINNESOTA;
HIS SUCCESS AGAINST ODDS

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-Senator
hnute Nelson of Minnesota, one of the
most picturesque figures in the United
states senate and likewise one of the
most influential of the Republican
members of that body, will celebrate
MS SEVENTEEN birthday tomorrow.
Senator Nelson, whose present term
VIII expire next month, has just been
reelected by the Minnesota legisla-
ture for another term Of six years. In
the next Congress he will rank among
the veterans of the senate in point of
service as well as age. OF the en-
tire membership of the senate as 1t
VIII be constituted after March 4,
only two members, Lodge Of Massa-
chusetts and Perkins of California,
VIII have seen longer service in the
upper house than the senior senator
from Minnesota Both Senators
Lodge and Perkins came to the SEN
ate in 1898, two years before Senator
Nelson made his appearance.
The career of Senator Nelson is of
much more than ordinary interest, and
In several respects unique. The story
of his life has many of the salient
features of romance, including the
picturesque and unusual. Born on a
little farm near the city of Bergen, in
the southwestern part of Norway
he accompanied his widowed mother
to America when six years old. The
family was practically penniless and
the early youth of the future senator
was one of hardships and privations

politics, serving four terms in the
Minnesota legislature. After three
terms in Congress he was elected gov
ernor Of Minnesota in 1892 and served
two terms. He was elected to the
United States senate first in 1895, and
has been three times reelected.
While Senator Nelson has been
generally classed as irregular Repub-
lican and usually votes with a ma
jority of his party in the senate, he
has shown great independence at
times, especially on the tariff ques-
ton. AS a member of the lower
house he voted for the Mills Demo
cratic tariff bill. Two years ago he
voted against the Payne-Aldrich bill,
Republican measure. He voted for
the La Toilette bill at the special ses-
sion last summer. A week or SO later
he opposed the conference report on
| that measure. In the same session he
voted against the Democratic cotton
revision bill.
During his long career in public
life Mr.. Nelson has devoted his at
tention to variety of questions and
he has made his mark on the statute
books. He Is the author of the pres
ent bankruptcy law. He is the father
of the Department of Commerce anC
Labor. 1t was at the instance o.
Senator Nelson that the Republican
national convention in 1900 adopted
a plank committing the party to tn,
creation of such a department. H,
drew the bill under which the depart
ment was created.
> While Senator Nelson is a bit o
old fashioned, he is proud of it. H
takes no part in Washington society
has no fondness for what is terme
club life, and probably has not see
the inside of a theatre half a doze
times in his life. He is a great stt
dent of history and his favorite recre;
ton is to read about the great Sc
and land fighters of the past. Prob;
bly, no man in public life today has
more intimate knowledge of the hi
tory of the American civil war tina

May Lose Sight of An Eye.

Jacob Siggius, one of our towns best
known oil well drillers, is in danger of
losing the sight of his left eye. Last Fri
day while making "splice" in a wire
cable near New Bethlehem, where he has
for the past two years been employed at
drilling gas wells, silver from the cable
struck and penetrated the eye-ball near
the pupil causing a most excruciatingly
painful wound, the sharp piece of metal
imbedding itself in the eye almost its full
length. Mr.. Siggins came to Oil City at
once where physicians rendered him as
comfortable as possible under the circum.
stances, but advised him to go at once to
a specialist, and on this advice he left for
Pittsburg Saturday night accompanied
by his son Ralph.

Thirty-seven Years Between Fires.

The dwelling house on the old Hiram
Osgood farm, two miles beyond Starr
postoffice on the road leading from the
Whig Hill road to Tionesta creek, was
burned to the ground on Wednesday
afternoon last, together with every arti-
Gle in the building. The farm is occupied
by William l.. Osgood, son of the late
Christina Osgood. At one O'Clock when
he had finished his dinner LIE left the
house aud went to the woods where he
was engaged in taking out some railroad
ties, leaving the fire in the stove pretty
we'll died out. At 4:30 he started back to
the house and when still some distance

to get in through a window but was

was left with only the working clothes
which he was wearing al the time. How
the fire originated is inexplicable as the
stove or pipe did not seem to be in any
way overheated, besides it was fully
three hours after Mr.. Osgood had left the
building that the fire started. There was
no insurance on building or contents, the
house being uhinsurable on account of
having no chimney, and the loss, which
Mr.. Osgood figures at 81 200 to 81 800, is
total one. The house was built by Hiram
Osgood TO take the place of one burned 81
