Rain Came Last Evening, Causing
Temperature To Drop.

The torrid heat of the past six
weeks was broken last night about
seven o'clock when there was a very
refreshing shower, followed by a
sudden drop in the temperature from

Heavy threatening clouds formed in
the west about the middle of the af-
ternoon, but they passed around to
the north of the city, bringing rain
to points in the vicinity of Nicollet,
st. Peter, Cleveland and that section.
About seven o'clock the wind which
had been from the south all day
suddenly sprung up from the north
west and brought with it lowly clouds
and cool air tgether with very re-
freshing shower, which resulted in a
precipitation of IA of an inch of
rainfall.

tween Winona and Elkton, S. D., was
visited by very refreshing rain last
evening At Minneapolis, so it was
stated by people who were at that city

Yet the words would not comfort him for, as his statement reads: "The apothegm, however. was not opposite to me, be- cause it involved a declaration that was a good man. and I don't know anyone who has the right to so ap- preciate himself"
 So. in his honesty with himself. with death facing him, he added: And I had come to the conclusion that perhaps the best statement of my creed could he ntted into the words I accept which to me meant that if by the law of nature my indi- vidual spirit was to go back Into the great ocean of spirits my one duty was to conform. Lead. Kindly Light was all the gospel 1 had. I accepted" > Quite as one is inclined to exag- gerate the wrong in ones little thoughtlessness of a former friend. relative. child. husband or wife after that object Of ones affection has died. so one facing death is apt to exaggerate the small errors made in ona'I own life. A man refuses to characterize his life aS one that has been good. Humility comes intensi- fled before the end-remorse to many.
 Franklin K. Lane was a splendid man. The "pious.'' as the word il misused today arc those who do no. scorn to characterize themselves al good" The greatest are the ones who recognize the possibilities life holds. and realize that no matter how hard they try they. os human beings, have failed to improve their op- portunfties. and cannot rightly claim the word as applicable to themselves. A worthy public servant is dead. ;. hose who knew him in private life and in public, as worKers in his field, are his most sincere mourners. It is an .epitaph which would preserve as fine the epitaph of any man or woman.
 And what creed could be better, than that which Franklin k. Lane chose in full knowledge of what might come? Consciously or unconsciously he paraphrased the last words of Him who said, Father, Thy will be Done,'' when he said, T accept" but, unlike the former Divine acceptance. there was the natural, hum man, awful ques- ton.

use of them for advertising purposes is likewise familiar.
 But drop this conception for mo- ment. Suppose Paul Revere's ride had been made at time and at an hour when motion pictures were being shown. Suppose the operators of the picture machines had been able to write his message on the film and flash 1t before the spectators. Paul Revere $ message would have been known all over the country in the time. almost, he took to saddle his horse.
 Were President of the United States small enough as a man and petty enough as a politician to take unfair ad- vantage of such an offer. much self ad- vertising would result.
 But we believe fondly that our Presi- dents are not of such timber after they take their seats in the White House. What a wonderful manner if speaking directly to the people would be de- veloped from this plan!
 And so do not smile. Believe that in the offer there is the germ of an idea which will bring splendid results to the people some day and which. properly used. will make the people much more intelligent in matters pertaining to the government of their country.
