Very many strong men nave SAID before now
that they knew perfectly we'll what they ought do
but did it not. That, perhaps, has been true of
the human race ever since the beginning of the
world We know enough, but we do so little Of
course there are some rare circumstances in which
ones duty is not so very plain; but a general
thing and in the ordinary concerns of life our
knowledge is sufficient. Instead of moral courage,
however, we have moral cowardice. The writer
believes that the great need of these times is not
so much education of the mind, but developement
of the heart, of the affections, of the aspirations
It is not theological theories which make men
noble, but tender regard for their fellow inhab-
itants of this earth.
thief will not argue that thievery is right;
but, on the contrary, will agree that in the long
run it is fatal to comfort; and yet at that very
ment he will STEAL in the full expectation that what
he steals will render him happy. That is one of
the contradictions of human nature. The poor
drunkard needs no one to tell him about the con-
sequences of getting intoxicated his head is clear
on the subject, but his heart is dull.
One would naturally enough say that when
man is convinced of the terrible charachter of evil
habits, and the inevitable results which follow
their heels he will abstain-on the purely selfish
principle of self-preservation But, no-not bit
of it; he has not the courage to resist temptation.
What, then, do people lack? Evidently, moral
courage, and nothing else. We do not dare to be
equal to our convictions That is the fatal fact.
The mind recognizes the truth; the heart ignores it,
Our vision is entirely clear. We really have
no doubts as to what will make our lives noble.
Our information on the subject need not be in
creased If we do what we know we should do,
then all would be right Not larger head, but
larger heart is wanted A man of pre-eminent
ability, experience and station, said that the
ruling characteristic of life during the last hun
dred years was this:-that it was actuated by
brain of cobweb and heart of mud. And, by
heaven! we have often felt the profound truth of
that remark In an ancient corner of England
among the remnants of those who once directed its
affairs there is saying still current in their
cient language: karenza whelas karenza true heart
edness worketh true-heartedness). Some gallant
dgnifed old farmers and sea captains enforced
that saying years ago, before penetrated the
1abyrnths of cities and abreast of their temp

maxim will once again be the expression of real
truth? For that is what we lack.-Ex

Mind, Over, What's The Matter

When first heard the above expression did
not fully grasp it's significance. But is in all truth
the proverbial, Cali in nutshell" There are only
five words but to me they now mean the only
real foundation on which safe and sound career
can be built.
You may set any man, no matter how dull to
placing blocks OF stone one upon another. But,
that does not build you house. In order that
something may come of the labor expended the
mind must direct the hands, And what is true of
the house you building is also true of the life
you are living. If you have no mind of your own,
and no will power to back it, you may go on liv-
ing forever without really being of much value to
anyone.
1t doesn't matter what your trouble may be
if you set out with the intention to make good.
Let your mind be the rudder which keeps your
life in it's God given course. But you can'texpect
mind filled with foul, bad thoughts to guide you
rightly anymore than you would expect rudder

rect a boat.
You now have an excellent chance to clean
the refuse from out of your mind and to replace
it with materials which to build strong found

Pick out some particular thing and stick to it.
There are many good books to be had for the ask
ing. Books dealing with the particular line of
work you have chosen.
Give your mind every chance possible to grow
and you will never regret it. l have often heard
it said, THE more you learn, the more you realize
how little you do know that should not stop a
man from acquiring all the knowledge he possibly
can.
The mind is like baby. Give it proper food
and keep it clean, it will grow. And keep on
growing, until it will be able to support you. in
your declining years. But, if you neglect and
abuse it, it will struggle along for time and then
die.
If you expect an examination on your know
ledge of a certain subject, you would prepare for
it by careful study. Well, what is life, if it is
not one long examination or test? On your know
ledge of things in general, and one in particular
depends your own livelihood If that is true, is it
not absolutely necessary that you should be in
training at all times? It is in order that you NAV

.. DIT II A L -.

The w. c. T. u workers conducted the annu-
al Flower Sunday service here at the institution
last Sunday at 10: Is A. M, special program, as
on previous OCCASIONS having been prepared by the
prison chaplain, Rev. G. E. Benson and Professor
Schmidt. Needless to mention it was one OF the
best special Sunday services we have had Tor some
time and much credit is due all those who assisted
in bringing this cheer and sunshine into our midst
on this day. These good christian workers are not
forgetfu of all those shut away from the outer
world; and on many occasions bring such cheer to
the unfortunate that makes one feel that there is
vet some chance of gaining that which was lost by
some act of folly. And on this particular day, II
not on any other occasion, we forgot for the time
being our trials and fluctuations. The prison walls
were made less harsh by the bouquets OF sweet peas
carnations and wild flowers, which these christian
workers distributed among us. Each inmate re-
ceved a bouquet of flowers and card on which was
an appropriate biblical quotations. message OF
hope
Miss Rozette Hendricks, president of the state
union, delivered the morning address, and an IN
spring sermon it was too. Miss Hendricks is
decidedly sincere speaker and her words went
straight to the hearts of all, and they will linger
+. with US for months to come.
Miss Ruth Thompson sang two vocal selections
for us which assisted materially in making the day
one to be long remembered by all.
The temperance workers we're the guests OF
Warder Reed for dinner and afterwards returned
by trolley to their respective homes.
Miss Anna Wright, of St. Paul, state flower
superintendent of the union, was in charge OF the
distribution of the bouquets. The delegates pre-
SENT we understand, represented all OF the twenty
one organizations in the union.
On behalf of all the inmates we extend vote
of sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who
assisted in bringing to us few words of encour-
agement, for the beautiful bouquets and the mes
sage of hope; we likewise extend vote of thanks to
Miss Ruth Thompson, Professor Schmidt and the
orchestra, for the splendid musical numbers render

PASSING MOMENTS
By BIondy.

How many of the boys who attended
Chapel last Sunday noticed that dear old
soul who at the sound of the Deputy's CAV
ell tried to rise and sing with the congrega-
ton, but whose feeble frame did not have
the strength, even with the help of stage
pillar to overcome old age, but in that
instant noticed flash of spirit in her
eyes which seemed to say, my body may
refuse to do my bidding but my heart and
soul are with you in this service.
Oh boys! if such friends as she can
find time in their declining years to come
TO US with hope and cheer and message
from the giver of all good gifts, can't we,
as the sons of women, try and take to
heart the message of love and good fellow
ship shown to us by the ladies of the w.

ment committed crime against organized
society, still have powerful friends work

be brought before us than the prayers of
these women, mingled with the prayers
Of your mother and my mother, and tho
she may be far away or perhaps passed to
the great beyond, God in His infinite good
ness and mercy. will help us to fulfill their
hopes if we but try and think and do un-
to others as we would like to be done by.
Now is the time brother to turn over a
new leaf and start right; and we who
have tasted the very dregs of the bitter
cup will surely know and appreciate the
happiness and freedom of an upright and
Cody life when once we have started on
the path marked out for us by such
friends as visited us and talked to us on
Flower Sunday behind these prison walls.
Their beautiful floral offerings will, in
a few short hours, wilt and die, but the
memory of their visit will come to us in
after years when we. too, are old and fee

While the Indians do not charge
down right dishonesty on the part
of the United States, from a large
moral view point they will at least
sa, that the bargains driven were
too shrewd, and advantages were
taken of technical questions and
construed against their interests
without any resistance from them,
on account of their ignorance and
in full reliance upon the integrity
of the government.

annunities should be paid. The
point was at too grea: a distance
for the annuitants to approach for
the sole purpose of receiving the
very small per capita share to
which they we're entitled, and the
Indians not receiving them, the
gross sums reverted annually to
the Treasury of the United States.
This was the case in nearly all the
treaties made with the Chippewa
nation prior to 1855.
In the meantime the Chippewa
nation, numbering probably sixty
thousand persons, occupied the
territory Of Michigan, which ex
tended as far north as the inter
national boundary line between
the United States and Canada.
In the due conrse of the advance
of civilization, the Chippewas were
forced north and northwest step by
step. But in this connection it is
a matter of history among them
that the United States attempted
to induce the chiefs and headmen
of the nation to join with the
Michigan Chippewa bands in the
treaty of July 81, 1855, under
which nearly half of the State of
Michigan was ce1ed, but this they
refused to do principally, and pro
badly, of their reluctance to travel
such a great distance as Detroit,
Michigan, was from their homes,
where they were requested to come
and make a treaty. Up to this
date the Chippewas as a nation
have never coded their right Of
occupancy to Michigan and to
which the United States acknow-
lodged their right under the treaty
Of 1926 at Prairie du Chen.
Prior to the treaty of 1856 the
United States had commenced the
practice of making treaties with
