Life on the Stage.

Maude Banks, the actress, daughter of
Gen. N. P. Banks, writes in The New
York Herald letter on stage life which
contains some pertinent hints and some
exceedingly good writing. If Maude
Banks had not been an actress, she might
have been journalist and belonged to
woman's press club. She sings the old
song-that success on the stage means
ceaseless toll and endeavor. So it is
everywhere. Yet this is only half. There
must be something besides this dull rut
of toll. There must be an enthusiasm
for the work that amounts to an inspira-
ton, buoyant confidence which feels
that it is in the right path and will sue
coed, though it be thousand years from
now. Without this inspiration work be-
comes a mechanical grind. There has
been something too much of the gospel
of mere work preached of late years.
Miss Banks writes:
Most of us learn speedily that there is no "vesti.
bule limited" to success. The few people who
have achieved instantaneous success have had
some extraordinary quality which merited it; it is
generally not hstrionic ability, for that talent is
Of slow growth, but it is something which the
public enjoys and is willing to pay for The true
artist climbs the hill slowly; she accumulates not
only treasures of observation, but capacities which
the experiences Of life have grated upon her ma
ture; gradually she lifts all these, to ordinary
things, into the environment of those white Alps
Of perfection and there she stands at last rresist
ible, unassailable and beautiful. wish we at the
foot did not know SO much about those white
heights; we would get there sooner, and suffer
less on the way Will the time never come when
the love of perfection will supersede the heart
burning struggle of competition: To do things
for themselves, not to Guido other people?

in meeting assembled, hereby declare
our hearty approval of the New
State Alliance Constitution.
We also fully approve the platform
adopted at the last meeting OF the
State Alliance.
And whereas, we find fellow farmers
all over this state and also other
states suffering under the same bur-
dens, and intrapped in the claws of
spectators and monopolists, and al
SO unjust legislation,
Be it therefore RESOLVED, That we
throw party-politics aside, and unite
in electing officers for whatever office
it might be, men that are actual
farmers, and such that we know to
be Of good moral character, and will
pledge themselves to serve honestly
for the interest of the Farmers and
people at large.
RESOLVED, That we earnestly urge
all the Alliances in this state to unite
in the work of electing such members
for the next legislature that laws
may be enacted prohibiting unrea-
sonable freight charges on the farm
ers' product, and that farmers have
privilege to build warehouses on the
right of way OF the Rail Road Co.'S.
and to dissolve any combination or
scheme between machine factories,
and their agents. SO that farmers
can buy there machinery direct from
factories or shops, and not be obliged

to agents for handling.
RESOLVED, That we stand by the
editor of the GREAT WEST in his
good work, through his valuable
paper.
RESOLVED, That a copy OF our
resolutions be requested to be pub
lished in the GREAT WEST.

The curiosities of American divorce
laws have had new illustration. In
1859 Mr.. Smith was married in New
York. 1t took the couple nineteen years
to discover that they were not affinities.
Mrs. Smith went to Dakota. After a
time she obtained divorce from Smith,
with permission for both to heal their
wounded affections by taking other part
ners. Smith in due time did thus heal
his hurt by taking a wife in New York,
where he remained. But his second ven
ture turned out no better than the first.
Mrs. Smith No. 2 found out that he was
not her affinity either. She then applied
for divorce on the ground that Smith
had wife living, and got it.

Will They Ever Wear 1t?

Lady Florence Dixie, who, riding man
fashion, galloped all through Patagonia,
and has given the world charming
sketches of her journeyings, has begun
an earnest crusade against the wearing
of long skirts by women for walking
costume. She speaks of the changes
that have taken place in woman's gar
ments in the last few years, and then
adds:
Yet still the bugbear skirt remains, hampering
to the limbs, the spouse of mud and dirt, the ty-
rant which practically declares that womans
lower limbs shall be muscleless and weak from
lifelong inactivity.
She does not want women to adopt
mans costume, because it is so ugly, but
she says:
know my remark will be received with shouts
of horror by many-of derision by few-but
unhesitatingly declare that the day is fast ap-
preaching when the hideous and senseless long
skirt will die natural death. am not an advo-
cate of trousers for women-unless it be the zou-
ave pattern-forI think trousers are hideous at
any time; hideous on men, much more so on
women. The difference in mans appearance in
the kilt to what he presents when in trousers is
very marked. The former is graceful and be-
coming, the latter neither one nor the other.
The ideal dress for women, such as
Lady Florence wears in Scotland, she
describes as follows:
It consists Of flannel shirt, knickerbockers,
kilt and loose jacket. In it am free; in it can
walk twenty, thirty miles a day If need be, over
the toughest ground; but put me in the hated
skirt and am at once feeble and unable to move.

WOrkmen's Homes.

The practice is becoming common
among proprietors of Large manufactur-
ing establishments of procuring tracts
of lands adjacent and erecting thereon
suitable and onvenient homes for their
workmen, and then letting the latter be-
come purchasers of the houses. A hand
some village has thus sprung up in the
vicinity of the Proctor & Gamble soap
works at Cincinnati.
Where the home is sold to the employe
at cost or on easy terms there is apt to be
permanent connection thus established
between employer and employe, making
it for the interest of both to treat each
other like civilized men.
The Westinghouse Air Brake company
is attempting something new in this d.
rection at its shops at Wilmerding, Pa.
It builds houses for it's employees near the
shops, and sells them at cost on monthly
payments. The payments are easy. ex-
tending over ten years. It is no more
than paying rent, yet when the money is
all paid the workman Is owner OF
home.
No sum is required in advance. The
monthly payments include several
things. They cover the interest on the
money invested, part of the principal,
taxes and life and fire insurance. The
life insurance feature is unique. A
monthly sum is paid in by the working
man sufficient that, if he dies before the
home is paid for, his family will be en-
titled to sum from the company suf6-
cient to complete the payments and leave
the home to them free ct debt.
Such facts az these indicate that the

standing between employer and employe

Some rather discouraging reports
are in circulation in reference to our
Irvine committee. 1t is stated pos
itively that President Hall and Secy
Lathrop did not even call at the Al
lance head-quarters-but were the
guests OF a Minnesota Senator dur
ing their stay in Washington. This
comes to us direct but it is, of course,
discredited, and our friends will set

Cannon Falls Beacon:

Cannon Falls Beacon:
Hon. Benjamin F. Butler. in an
elaborate speech at the annual. din
ner of the Butler Club, Boston,
Mass, referring to the mortgage debts
of the farmers, said that taking
simply the agricultural lands of the
Western States the mortgages
amount to the stupendous sum of
$3.50, OOO,O 900, the interest on which
is at rates averaging from Z to 9
cents. The payment of these mort
cages is simply impossible and they
never will be paid, for the simple rea-
son that, as all statistics prove, the
profits on farming industries are
only between 4 and 5 per cent. The
speaker predicted that a financial
cyclone is imminent.

Here is what Kansas says OF her
politicians:
"You have confscated and wrecked
thousands OF homes, made millions
of paupers; you have pillaged our
cities, destroyed our commerce,
wrecked fortunes. blasted the hopes
of producers and laborers-and revel
in luxury on that which you have
uniustly wrenched from labor?
And again hear this and ponder:
':If you fail us now you are ieop-
ardizing the peace Of the country, for
we declare, by the heavens and earth,
that this wholesale robbery and
confiscation of homes, must stop
self-preservation is the first law OF
nature, etc"
That is an echo OF 1856, when
Kansas courage made history for the
country.

price all over the world. But DR..
Fish was the one to take exceptions
to such a state Of things and by
starting a bushel of wheat from
Crookston and landing it in Liver
pool he found that there was 20
cents difference in the price after all
transportation and elevator-storage
and other expenses had been paid.
Now the question arises where does
this paltry 20 cents go, or who gets
it.? 1t would take no novice to con-
clude some boodler is getting rich.

them beware OF surrendering a polit-
