A western paper recently offered a prize for the best story to be written by a pupil of the public school. Here are a few passages from the contrl butions: “Cora Brown was fortunate- ly the possessor of a birthday, for she was the daugkter of rich friends.” “But all this time a cloud was gath. ering over Mrs. Delaney, which grew large as years went by, and that cloud was full of grasshoppers.” “My father desired me to marry a bank president, a handsome, reckless man, fond of naught save the gaming table” “‘Vat I dell you, vat I dell vou,” shouted the Irishman.” “As she entered the room a cold, damp smell met her sight.” Chickens Lack Originality. Abby, the littlest girl of the family, was seated &t the breakfast table one morning. As usual, °ggs were served. Either she was not hungry or she kad grown tired of the inevitable bill of fare, for very earnestiy and soberly she remarked: “I do wish hens would By something besides eggs.” a want ad.

GOLD FOUND The gold scare which recently caused so much excitement around{ Northome and this vicinity was not}- all scare, but really has some good solid foundation, according to 0. E. Jackson, who has recently moved on his farm near that city. Mr. Jack- son reports that his company has se- cured the services of an expert from California, who will soon reach and thoroughly go over the field. This man has examined samples from the various holes dug out of the Northome field and is said to have stated that he was certain that gold would be found in here in large quantities. The company is going slowly with the work and will scon begin the sinking of a shaft. BOYS - ARE HYPNOTISED At the Grand theatre last even- ing, Santanelli had a full house sit- ting on seat edges -the better to see the antics of nine Bemidji young men Wwho were under his control. San- tanelli had them - catching butter fiies; - stuttering over -their names, sitting on red hot ehairs and doing other laughable stunts. All of the boys agreed to return tonight for a second sitting. Prior to the hypnotic act Santa- nelli and Miss Burke did some tricks with a spirit cabinet which puzzled the audience and a commit- tee of three went up on the stage. Miss Burke was bound to a rigid post yet released herself and got in- to a man’s coat without breaking the seals on her wrists. At 4 o’clock this afternoon, a second sleeping act was put on in the Murphy window. iSD0M OF GREAT PAINTER Meissonier’'s Comments Show That He Was a Philosopher as Wull as a Superb Artist. We always lke to know what & great man has said about his work, end how he feels about other things that are of interest to every one. For- tunately, Meissonier left a record of magy of his feelings and opinions, published as his “Conversations.” Of ell the painters, Rembrandt was his tavorite. Among his sayings were the follow- Ing: “Let well enough alone’ is the mot- to of the lazy.” “The man who leaves good work be- hind adds to the inheritance of the human race.” “The master is an artist whose works never recall those of some oth+ er artist.” i “I would have drawing made the basis of education in all schools. It Is the universal language.” “No artist would paint if he knew he was never to show his work, it hq felt no human eye would ever rest upon it.” “I never sign a picture untll my whole soul is satisfled with my work.™ “‘To will is to do’ has been my motto. I have always willed. Oh! how I regret the lost time that can pever be made up. As I grow older, Y work harder than ever.”—From Charles L. Barstow’s “Famous Pic- tures” (Meissonier), in St. Nicholas.

New York, Oct. 24.—The close of Attorney Mclntyre’s speech, in de- fense of Police -Lieutenant Charles Becker, \eharged withiAhe murder of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal, shortly before the case was given to the jury, was one of the most vivid ever heard in a criminal courtroom in this state. It visibly impresed the jury, and changed the face of the accused man himself, while it left Mrs. Becker limp and in tears. “Gentlemen,” said McIntyre sol- emnly, his voice trembling -with emotion and addressing himself to the jury-as man to man, “the fate of this man is now in your hands. Are you going to accept the testimony of four confessed assassins and find him guilty? Do you think these men are worthy of belief? The defend- ant is guilty or not guilty; the ver- dict must be for murder or acquit- tal. “Will you let this defendant walk out o fthe courtroom a free man, or|. will you take him from his wife and the baby he has never seen, and send him to that chamber of horrors where electrodes will send torturing death tearing through his body? “In making up your minds upon these questions, I ask for you the guidance of a higher being—gentle- men, God be with you.” BIG GAME LICENSES HERE County Auditor George has re- ceived big game licenses and will is- sue them on November 7.

The hall is to be fitted up with booths for needle work, dolls, toys, books, religious articles, ete. The principal product for sale will be fancy sewing. Each evening the ladies will serve a home made sup- per from 5 to.7 o’clock. Two young ladies, Miss Emma Le Page and Miss Helen Bisiar, have entered a popularity contest and the one who wins is to receive a diamond ring. The girls are soliciting cash for the church fund and the one who turns in the most cash is to be de- clared the winner. _ nesota, elected in November, 1882, was a member of the Forty-ninth Congress from the same distriet, and was a member of the Fiftieth Con- gress from the same district.

NO CHANGES IN LINEUP. Team to Play Saturdsy to Be Prac- tically as One Used Last Week. Minneapolis, Oct. 24.—Dr. George E. Vineent, president of the Univer- sity of Minnesota, and Mrs. Vincent will entertain the regular members of the Gopher team, the reserves and Dr. Williams and his assistant coaches, Sig Harris and -John Mec- Govern, at an informal dinner and the reception at their home, Friday night, the eve of the battle with the Hawkeyes. The festivities lasting two hours, will be over by 9:30, so as to give the men every opportunity to get a good night's rest before the contest. 5 Minnesota football regulars and reserves were given their first scrim- mage Wednesday afternoon since the Nebraska game last Saturday. Every member of the above mentioned bod- physical condition, with the exception of Solem, who re- ceived an injury to his arm two weeks ago. Solem has not. domned the moleskins since the accident and will probably not appear on the Gopher gridiron for practice unmtil some time before the Wisconsin game. If he improves as in the past few days he will probably be in shape to appear in the lineup against the Badgers Nov. 16. Sig Harris and John. McGovern are bringing their men along im ies is in fine great shape, and while they have lit- le opportunity to appear in the lime- light, great credit should be given them for part of the regulars’ fine showing in the last two games. Long after the electric lamps were lighted last nigh*, several of the former Gopher gridiron stars and Tom Shevlin were on the field giv- ing what aid they could in the fur- ther development of the team. Hanschu, one of the promising as- pirants for Gopher gridiron homnors, has succeeded in clearing himself of his scholastic difficulties, and will now be in a position to put up a good hard fight for one of the end or tackle jobs. Whether he is able to make the regular team or not, the competition that he will put will be of direct benefit to the team. Last night twenty-five university students worked until close to eight o’clock replacing hay on the gridiron that had bee nremoved in the afternoon to make room for Dr. Wil- liams and his men. This process will be repeated nightly until the game with Wisconsin, when North- rop field will be forsaken for this season. . If no injuries overtake the men now recognized as varsity fixtures, there is little probability of any ma- terial change in the line-up that was presented against the Coen- huskers last Saturday. While Dr. Williams is at work upon a few more puzzlers for this season’s try- out it is not generally expected that he will be forced to divulge anything new in order to keep in front of the Jowans on the scoreboard. It is reported that a few of the Iowa plays were dished up to the Tegulars last night. Secret practice is beinging maintained in every pos- sible way. The players. even the ineligibles and freshmen, and hay makers are all wearing wooden ears, and doing all of their work sbout Northrop Field gridiron with their backs turned to the regulars and the man who is not going to let the least possible chance defeat his and the Gopher’s objective—that of winning the confreence laureis for the fourth straight semson.
