longing to the same race. We ad-
mire his frugality, his thrift which
laid the foundation for so much COM
petence in his mature age. Yet how
few of us there are who would not

you ask me why there are no Benja-

A Physical Lesson.
"There is not a little thing which
does not play it's part in our life.
One day we came into the physics
class room at the university and Pro-
lessor Herring had on his desk pile
of paper pellets and an iron bar hung
suspended from the ceiling. He took
the pellets and threw them against
the bar At first it did not move and
we laughted, but as he persisted the
bar began to vibrate and gradually
by this simple effort was brought to
swing slightly. This was to illus
trate the impetus of force. So it is
with our lives, the little habits and
acts of our lives are to play a big
part in the tomorrow. AS thy days,
so shall thy strength be. 1t is a
physical lesson. -s~
"There is also a great mental les
son. Intellectually we have untold
opportunity in the future. The tenn
pie of wisdom is large. We some
times walk around it but hesitate to
enter in because it does not always
present the easy road. The slug
gard will not plough by reason of
the cold, therefore he has no har-
vest. Many there are, however, who
enter in and walk through the halls
Of the temple of wisdom for while,
looking at the names of the sub
jects on the doors. They are all
there with their manifold possibili-
ties leading to professional and prac-
tical careers. But if we enter in,
and would succeed we must work
and perspire; because nothing great
can be accomplished without toll.
Think of the energy developed by this
war abroad. Men and boys working
at fever heat in the professions and

is bound to develop a keener COM

Hill, who in the meantime had ac-
cumulated fortune of about $780,
600 and who. was convinced that the
road offered great possibilities under
proper management interested a num-
,mber of British and Canadian capital
lists in his plans and formed a stock
company which purchased the securi-
ties of the railroad company at very
low rate. When the mortgage was
foreclosed, Hill and his associates bid
in the property. The company was
reorganized as the st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba Railroad company,
with Lord Mount Stephen, then just
plain George Stephen, as president
and Mr.. Hill as general manager.
When the new company took con-
troll of the road it comprised 437
miles of track, and the additions i'm
mediately made amounted to 220
miles, making a total of 657 miles.
This was capitalized at $31,000,000.
At the end of the first year the
equipment consisted of 65 locomo-
tives, SO passenger, baggage and ex-
press cars and 1923 freight and work
cars of all sorts and descriptions.
The marvellous success of the en-
terprise was due in a large measure
to the skillful management by Mr.
Hill, who had shown himself not only
a man of remarkable foresight but
financier of unusual ability.
Great Northern Opened.
In 1893 the Great Northern rail
way was formally opened and there

| The event was celebrated in st. Pau.
by great festivities and so determine ed

Hill, that they insisted upon these
festivities Notwithstanding the Offer
ton of a public library an amount
equal to any amount which the city
might appropriate for that purpose
instead of spending the money fol
| parades, floats, fireworks, etc.
After Mr.. Hill had realized his
dream of an independent line to the
Pacific coast and trains were run

Paul and Tacoma and Seattle, he be-
gan to extend his system. He start
ed line of magnificent steamers be-

between Buffalo and Duluth, giving

In addition to that he built numer'
Gus feeders throughout the great
grain belt Of the Northwest and q
string of grain elevators for storing
and distributing the golden harvests
of the tributary regions.
Although always an extremely
busy man, and occupied with matters
of great Importance to the common

Flowers for Memorial Dav
- 80 ~
Tuesday, May 80
Telefraphed to All Parts of the United Stated

Before the close Of the Civil War, May 80
was thus celebrated in several of the South
ern states. In the north there was no fixed
day commonly celebrated until 1868, when
MAY s. COMMANDMENTS Chief John A.
Logan, of the Grand Army Of the Republic,
issued a general order designating May 80,
1868, 'for the purpose of strewing with flow
ers or otherwise decorating the graves of
comrades who died in defense of their coun
try during the late rebellion.'' Logan did
this with the hope that it will be kept up
from year to year.
In 1882 the Grand Army urged that "the
proper designation of May 80 is Memorial
Day, not Decoration Day."
Rhode Island made it a legal holiday in
1874, Vermont in 1876, and New Hampshire
in 1877, and by 1910 it was a legal holiday
in all the states and territories save Ala
bama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Texas. In Virginia,
ial day. June 3, the birthday Of Jefferson
Davis, is observed as Confederate Memorial
Day in Louisiana and Tennessee, April 26
in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Missis-
sippi, and May 10 in North Carolina and
South Carolina '": - -" -
Another account states that "May 80 was
chosen, possibly, as being the date of dis
charge of the last Union volunteer of the
war. The states which observe the law have
adopted it singularly, there being no ma !.
etional law on the subject.

A Mora! Lesson.
"Finally, there is a moral lesson.
The soul is like desire in a child,
opening up to things evil and good
alike. Virtue is blind and will work
alike in good or an evil cause.
What we need is to be able to dis
eliminate between things worth
while and lasting and the things
that are f1eeting and perishable. We
need to get up into the heights and
see from the standpoint of God. There
is buoyancy which will enable us to
overcome ourselves and rise above
it. There is the opportunity to
climb up and consider that word
meaning up among the stars. To
go up in the truth of God and COM
prehend all things in the light of
His guiding truth. There is such a
thing as having your loin's girt about
with truth. Martin Luther took the
truth, I shall be justified by faith
and put it about him as a girdle and
made his way through life a con-
queror I think of Chinese Gordon,
a noble English soldier to whom Eng

something hard to do. He was a true,
noble man, we'll girdled with the
truth. He was wont to put a white

that he was at prayer, and when the
natives marched by they would take
