That was the exper- ience of Evangelist I. E. Honeywell. A rather “ladylike” reception for a Sunday morning. The Chicago waiter who has fal- len heir to $100,000 dollars must feel deeply impressed with the truth of the old maxim,” everythihg comes to him who waits.” The street car conduotor who found greenbacks to the extent of $5,000 re- celved a reward of twenty-five cents from the owner. The downward re- vislon has already commenced. Someone has been kind enough to investigate into the Bible conditions of Bemidji homes, and reports that the dust had all been removed from them before the evangelistic party arrived. Rev. Honeywill was of the opinion - that -on. many of them.you could. write ' the word :“Damnation” in the dust, but we're glad to inform him that he looses his bet. J. J. Opsahl announces that he is in “dead earnest” about landing the position . of state immigration com- missioner. We ask the question, was Opsahl ever in any other mood, when seeking to do something for the bene- fit of the public? of the most serious minded men in the state;of: Minnesota and should the state of Minnesota be so fortunate as No. “J. J.” is one to secure his services as immigration commissioner we venture the predic- tion that . there will be no occasion for; regrets. Why s .a Newspaper?

St g Z STRONG, BUT OLD"IN “YEARS' History Raphte With ‘Records of -Mon | Who Have Done Great Things Be- yond Thelr Allotted Space. There are; some -old :men. who ‘are not to be despised. Some are:apt to think that none but young men can do much. - Some; indeed, shoot up like a rocket, and go out-like one. Others rige slowly, like fixed stars, and as they are slow to rise they are"slow to set. Cromwell was-only & captain when he was. forty-one, and- his. greatest deeds were performed between forty- eight and fifty-six, ‘when he died. Young was an old man when he wrote some ‘of his best poetry, and he was sixty when he began his.“Night Thoughts.” . Thomas:-Scott wrote as much at seventy as:at any period of his life. Talleyrand at the age of . eighty stood at the head of affairs in France under- Napoleon, and- then under the Bourbons. ‘When- the 'Russians: ‘were .deter- mined to make a stand and fight the French before the. walls of. Moscow, they put old Kutsof at the head of the army in place of Barclay de Tolly. General: Blucher 'was ‘seventy -when he was defeated: at Ligny and fell under his horse, and the French cav- plry rode over him; yet a day or two after he led on his Prussians against Napoleon at Waterloo. After many years of warfare, those old men, Well- Ington and Soult, stood at the-head of their respective cabinets,-one'in England and the other in France, pre- serving by their talents the peace of Europe and the world. This Ship's. Cat Was, Saved. -About twenty years ago, when I was resident in North China, the British squadron then in far-eastern waters ‘was steaming out of the port of Chefoo ‘when a little black cat fell overboard from H. M. S. Wanderer, writes a cor- respondent of the London Spectator. At once the ship stopped, signaled to her consorts “Cat overboard,” and the entire squadron came to a standstill. A boat put off from the Wanderer and rescued puss, who was swimming for dear life after the ship. The officer who told me the story said the sailors would have been furious if the little cat had not been saved, for not only was she a great pet, but they firmly belleved that dis- aster wauld follow if a black cat was allowed to drown.

Many of these have subterranean connection, so that when one turns loose its fury it is just possible that a sister many miles away wilt do the same. These volcanoes have a commercial value to the is- lands, and if it were not for the havoe they now and then create they might be looked upon as veritable blessings. It is the volcanic ash from thege mountains that produces fertilizer for the finest hemp in"the world, and the world's hemp supply comes solely from the Philippines. Mayon- voleano, in Albay province, southern Luzon, is one of the most beautiful active volcanoes in _the world.- Viewed from certain points, it Is a perfect cone, resembling an in- verted letter V.
