A Cheerful Giver.

The father of Germantown lad had
given him ten-cent piece and quarter
of dollar, telling him that he might put
one or the other on the church's contri-
bution-plate.
At dinner father asked the boy which
coin he had given.
''Well father" exclaimed the youngster:
Eat first it seemed to me that I ought to
put the quarter on the plate; but just in
time remembered the saying, The Lord
loveth a cheerful giver,' and I knew l
could give the ten-cent piece great
deal more cheerfully. So I put that in"

can be beautifed by the planting of trees,
shrubbery and flowers, and when in our

should be encouraged by fitting exercises
and all Of our citizens by proper activity
be made to realize more fullyIthe practi-

and tree life.
1T is remarkable what difference the
manifestation of even little comm unity
Interest in the promotion of arboriculture
makes in the appearance of the grounds
of our schools and public buildings and of
all of our farms and municipalities.
An illustration of the combina ton of
beauty and utility is the present day
practice on the part of many employers
of labor of making the surroundings of
those working for them by having con-
tiguous to the factories and shops grassy
plots and lawns on which have been
planted shade trees, vines and flowers.
This custom cannot be too highly COM
mended, and with very little expense
and work could be adopted by much
larger number in our different communi-
ties and in all walks of life, whereby
many places that are now eyesores would
be transformed into spots of health and
beauty. 49,.

The war department has asked Con-
gress for an appropriation of $8,807, 1896
to cover the expenses of the Mexican
expedition and the recently ordered in

tenth of that amount were asked for
educational purposes or the entire amount
for the purpose of bettering working and
living conditions of the country the re-

The Baryphone is new invention
which is in a fair way of revolutionizing
the telephone system. AS is well known,
the American telephone is often very un-
satisfactory, but the drawbacks are
wholly eliminated by the Baryphone,
which makes conversations on the
longest distances just as clear as on short
circuits, as the sound is carried to both
ears and all noise excluded. Persons

A New National HYMN.

My country, it's of thee,
Land where things used to be
So cheap, we sing.
Land where folks once could buy
Things that are now so high;
10 thee, with many sigh;
Our memories cling.
Some of the people swear
That all they eat and wear
Takes all their wad.
Others avow that they
Now eat but once a day,
And for that cannot pay,
So help them, God.
Thy peoples humble plea
Is that Thou now wilt free
At least one leg.
On flesh of beef and swine,
We do not ask to dine
But give us, Lord devine,
One good, fresh egg.
Our fathers land, with thee,
Blest home of Liberty,
We choose to stop.
We don't exactly like,
So soon to henceward hike,
But we must hit the pike
If things don't drop.

Editors Views on Current
Happenings Ia

: Why should any American citizen
take passage on belligerent ship simply
because he feels that he is only exercising
an abstract right, when in doing so he
might involve not only his own personal
safety, but the peace of his country? It
seems, to us that any person who will
deliberately disregard the circumstances
surrounding such an act is not patriotic
citizen.-Shakopee Argus.
If the Argus man had left off that
reference to patriotism and had called it
horse sense, we would have endorsed his
view of the matter without comment.
Sensitive citizens of St. Paul resent
the fact that their town is constantly
being outstripped in the race for improve
ment by Minneapolis. Just recently
the voters of the capital city rejected a
proposition to issue bonds for the better
ment of their schools. Under similar
circumstances Minneapolis would have
voted the bonds. If St. Paul were able
to chloroform her conservatives she would
enjoy more rapid growth.-St. Peter
Herald.
AS long as the public schools are in any
way connected with politics or politicians
as is the case in St. Paul, just so long will
they suffer. Conservatism did not kill
the bond issue, but the fear of graft did.
When you picked up paper the other
day and read how the officers of one of
the armies before Verdun had to urge
on their men over the corpses of $4,000
of their fallen comrades, didn't it make
your heart sick? $4,000 human lives
snuffed out in no time! $4,000 men and
boys shot down in the charge upon the
citadel of supposed foe! $4,000 mothers
and wives and daughters and sweethearts
left weeping by wounds that no earthly
physician can ever heal! And all for
what? Nobody knows. That's war.
Is there anything appealing in that
situation? Is it chicken heartedness, is
it cowardice, is it showing the white
feather, to counsel caution rather than
see the men and boys and the women and
girls OF America in such a picture as that
presented at Verdun? -Luuerme Journal.

She tried to speak, thcn, as he drew
her to him, she threw her arms about
his neck and burst into tears.
Some subtle institution warned
her weeping. Once he tried to lead
her to a chair but she clung to him.
When at last the storm of her grief
had subsided into sobs, Philip took
from her her little wet ball of hand
kerchief and pressed his own fresh
like a child while he wiped away her
tears.
And then before she knew it she
was telling him everything. 1t was
easy, now that she had begun. She
told the whole sordid tale in an even
voice. The man held her cose while
she talked. Once she felt him shud-
der.
When the story was ended, she rails
ed her eyes again to his face, and
gasped at what she saw there. The
boy seemed to have became a. middle
aged man. His eyes were mere dark
Sits in his white face. She could see
Yet when he spoke 1t was in calm,
low voice.
''Is that all?" he asked.

He drew in his breath sharply.

She tried to speak, tried to seize
him by the arm, but, eluding her
grasp, he was gone.

She had lost her job. She felt sure

In her purse there was some change.
There were also a few dollars due her

Her aunt was all she had in the
world. 1t was to her aunt-the aunt
who would die unless the operation

shrink from the only way which SEEM

She had to have two hundred and
fifty dollars-even more than that
amount. Bainbridge would, she knew,
part with this money willingly If she
would go to him and ask his pardon
and offer to be on friendly terms with
him once more. She shivered and felt
faintly nauseated at the idea.
II will get the money somehow"
she reiterated. People passed her,
laughing and talking. She stared at
them in dull amazement. How could
they laugh? Walled in by her misery,
she seemed to belong to another and
her-a world which held one
heavy animal face, world which
echoed to just one sentence-"I will
