The Runaway Boy.

The scientific pedagogues' truancy
is no longer the dark wickedness of an
unregenerate heart, but more often is
enterprise and originality somewhat
misdirected. So the lad who runs
away from home does not always end
on the gallows, and even if he comes
back voluntarily and in repentance, he
has nevertheless shown good courage
as we'll as bad judgment.
Each Of us is a tiny thing treading
the great globe, and this is only lit
tie timer thing, little lonelier, too,
perhaps. He is seeking two things
which we all seek; self-expression and
experience. Both Of these, moreover,
he attains, in small or great degree.
They may warn him that there is
more success, or more comfort, back
there whence he came. In time he
may realize this, and go home. But
for self-expression and experience, so
long as he can stand them, he turns

The Boss With the Big Heart.

Alex Mckenzie, who passed away
after brief illness in st. Paul, was
most likeable warm hearted and
generous man, and had both courage
and executive ability. His history is
unique, even remarkable. He went to
North Dakota as boy Of II and car
ried dispatches through the hostile In
dian country. Later he became a
spiker in the laying of the Northern
Pacific, which brought him to sBis-
marck. He was. elected sheriff when
that was he-man's job and he gained
the fear and respect Of the road agents
through his courage. He became a
power in politics, and is credited with
having brought the state capital to
Bismarck. He was the uncrowned
king of North Dakota for many years,
took fling at Alaska, and landed in
federal prison for disobeying the or
ders of the court as receiver Of some
of the big mines. It was this episode
that gave Rex Beech material for his
story, ''The Spoilers, This and his
attempt to get charter in his state
for the Louisiana lottery, we're the two
episodes in his life that do not look
we'll in print. He was for several
years the political boss Of the republi-
can party, and was known as the SEN
ator maker. It was revolt of the
Republicans against his rule that gave
the Townley followers their chance to
capture the state, and whether true or
not Mckenzie is alleged to have been
the brains of the nonpartisan invasion.
He never sought office for himself,
preferring to be dictator, and maker
of office holders. It was only by his
ability and cleverness, in which his
personality was a potent force that en-
abled him to retain his place as politi-
cal general for so many years. He
had plenty of good friends who swear
by his loyalty, and enemies galore,
who are equally vehement in his de-
nunciation, but personally they all
liked Alex Mckenzie, the big hearted
man, who enjoyed helping the unfor-
tunate. He liked to play the political
game, and when the summary is made
it will be found that the aid he gave
his state will overbalance the mis-
takes he made.-St. Cloud Journal
