Can human life but mere bubble be,
Cast up by chance from the eternal sea-
TO float an instant on the troubled wave
Then in oblivion sink into its grave?
Why from the conscious temple of the heart
Like angels do our aspirations start
And DER the boundless skies so swiftly glide
Away from earthly scenes unsatsfcd!
Why does the golden sun, with light divine.
Why the pale moon upon us softly shine,
Why cleaning stars around the heavenly
throne
Unto our sight makes their bright presence
known?
Why does the ranbow's varicgated form
Entrance our vision at the ceasing storm?
Why do the lovely clouds their charms dis
play,
To leave us musing as they roll away?
And why presented to admiring view
Are beauteOus forms of life of every hue
Which quickly vanish, leaving naught behind
Save pleasing images to cheer mankind?
This is the why. The human race was born
Some brighter, nObler region to adorn-
10 meet again on the eternal shore

A SONG OF COURAGE.


Re brave, my soul!
Though foes around thee fighting fast
uHid i've thee from the field at last,
Fe brave! the struggle soon is past,
.. nd then-the promised goal!
My soul, be strong,
Though great temptations hover near
And hard may seem the cross to bear,
There is a jewel in each tear,
in every sigh a song.
My soul, be true
Though on the shrine of truth the blaze
Sheds in the dark its dying ray,
Keep thou thy vigil! In the ways
The ANGEL walks with you.
My soul, stand fast!
A little while with halting feet
To tread the thorn paths scorched with heat
Where trampled hearts must bleed and beat
A little while-and then the sweet
Rest of thy Lord at last.

VIctOria's Love for Babies,

The queens love for babies by no
means diminishes with her ever increas-
ing number of grandchildren. Indeed,
the latest addition to the royal family
always demands her special interest,
and at the present moment it is the new
baby of the Duke and Duchess of Sparta,
her majesty's latest great grandson, for
whom she exhibits the greatest solci-
tude. A magnificent cradle has Just
been dispatched by his royal great
grandmother to the infant, over whos1
outfit the queen and Empress Frederick
spent many hours during the latter's So
joun here some weeks ago. By the
earnest request of the queen the Duke
and Duchess of Sparta will bring the
baby over to see the queen next Alonth,
and the Princess Sophie, mother like, is
doubtless only too proud of the OPP
portunity to display her treasure to her
English relatives. -ILady's Pictorial.

The Soil Is InexhaustibIe.

One foot in depth of fairly good ag-
ricultural soil contains 1000 pounds of
phosphoric acid; 5000 pounds of potash;
10000 pounds of nitrogen and lime, mag
nesia, soda, chlorine, sulphur, and sill
ica to afford food for all the crops
which these three elements can feed per
acre. After farmers by careful and
skillful cultivation have exhausted all
this great store of plant food in the up
permost foot of his soil, which will re-
quire several centuries, will the soil be
exhausted? Not at all. AS the land is
gradually changed into vegetable growth,
and the surface is removed as farm crops,
it as gradually deepens, and the subsoil
which contains the very same elements
becomes fitted for plant food. And thus
the imperishable nature of matter ap-
plies to the soil, which can never be ex-
hausted during all the ages which are to
come. All that mankind has to do is to
use its arts under the instruction of sci
ence to develop this latent fertility of
the soil, and to go on feeding the human
race until the end, if an end ever shall
come when the earth will no longer ex-
ist as fit habitation for mankind

SENT TO ROCHESTER,.
A Divinity Student Becomes
Hopelessly Insane.

HOpeIeSSly
Ole Ruenes, a divinity student from
Augsburg seminary, was committed to
the asylum for the insane at Rochester
yesterday by Judge Bailey, of the pro-
bate court. Ruenes is a native of Nor
way, and came to Minneapolis about
three years ago and commenced to
study for the ministry. He proved an
excellent student and stood at the head
of his class. AS the last term OF the
last year of his college course drew to- a
close he redoubled his efforts to pass
the examinations with credit to him.
self and in accordance with the
anticipation Of his friends. This
final exertion proved too much
for the OvertaSked mind. Last
Wednesday evening it was noticed
by his friends that his conversation
seemed broken and disconnected and
his mind seemed wandering. 1t was
known by them that he had been phys
ically unwell for some days and had
been unable to sleep. On one occasion
too he had become greatly o~verheated.
Since Wednesday he has been uncon-
scious and exhibited signs of insanity.
He was removed to the DeacOneSSeS' in
%stitute, on Hennepin avenu and TWEEN
.ty-seventh street. the last of the week.
where he has since been kindly minis
tered to by the good women of the hos
pital. Their care, however, has seemed
not to restore him. and he has grown
rather worse than better until yesterday
was almost violent. He raved about the
examinations and the graduation al
most necessarily. He was in the very
midst of the examinations when seized
by the mania and would have graduated
in a few days. Insanity is said to be
hereditary IN his family.

A LUCKY FIND.
A Note For $13,5OO Turns Up in
the Nick of Time.

A Note For $1S,5OO Turns Up in
the Nick of Time.
1t may have been mere blind luck. it
may have been something else, but
there is one lady in Minneapolis who
believes that it was the eye OF Provi-
dence which saw her struggles, and the
hand of Providence which di-
rected her to good fortune.
This lady's husband was formerly
a well-to-do Minneapolis business
man.. Some time ago he began to show
signs of mental decay, his condition
finally becoming such that his wife
took hold of his business affairs. They
were in such a chaotic state that but
little could be made of them, and the
family soon fell into financial straits.
Recently they became sorely pressed
and much in need of money. One
day not long ago the wife found
among her husbands effects a small key
the use of which she knew nothing.
Later she discovered that 1t was a key
to a safety deposit vault of which she
had never heard her husband speak.
She Investigated and in the vault found
some papers. The first one ex-
amined proved to be a note for
$50, and looking still further she
came to another note, besides
many papers of minor value, for $751;
500. 1t had eve been paid, and the
maker of it was a responsible business
man. She placed it In the hands of her
attorneys, it was collect, and in her
household want has now given place to
plenty. Small wonder that she refuses
to believe that her good fortune was
solely the result of chance.

A Change Of Attractions.

One of the quickest bits of theatrical
"hustling'' on record was done by the
management of the Bijou yesterday.

was received from the manager of Mrs.
George S. Knight. who had been an
nounced to appear at this theater next
week in lover the Garden WALL" say
ing that owing to severe illness Mrs.
Knight would be compelled to cancel
the date named. 1t was very late to at
tempt to secure an attraction for the
coming week, but Mr.. Lift determined
to give it a trial and at once offered the
time to seven different companies by
telegraph, and at 6 O'Clock closed with
Katie Putnam at a large certainty,
which MIR. Lift willingly pays rather
than have the doors of his popular house
closed. Miss Katie Putnam, the clever
and talented soubrette, will therefore
be seen at the Bijou all of next week.

just what effect the latest mill deal
will have on Touring interests in Min
neapOlls it is difficult to conjecture.
The WaShburn-Crosby company, the
present lessee of the three mills in
question, may decide to establish its in
terest elsewhere. 1t is possible, but
not probable, that the company will re-
main IL Minneapolis. There is scarcely
power enough at the falls to warrant
the Washburn-Crosby company in
building new mills here, unless the
proposed improvements, such as the
much talked-of Spirit island dam should
materialize and furnish the requisite
amount of power, exclusive of steam.
Nor are there any mills here which the
Washburn-CrOsbY company could lease.
Those in the market are not such as
would fully meet the requirements of
so large a company. Regarding future
plans. James A. Bell, president of the
Wasburn-Crosby company, says:
I'VE shall vacate the mills Sept. l.
With a large trade, and a fully organ
lied company, having abundance of
capital and credit. we hope to continue
in the milling business, but do. not see
how it is possible to do so in Minneapo-
lis. Our company is largely interested
in elevators, both country and terminal,
and therefore can control a large
amount of wheat direct from the farm
ers' hands. which can be directed either
to Duluth or Buffalo. We have a large
business, abundant capital, a No. l
credit, we'll established trade, and a
well equipped organization, with agen-
cieS in all the principal cities Of this
country and Europe We will have a
meeting of u company as soon as we
have any official information as to the
action of the stockholders of the G. G.
Washburn FIGURING Mills company.
Until that time we are unwilling to
give any further information, except to
say that we hope and believe we will
continue the milling trade as we have
no intention of throwing away a bust
ness that has cost many years OF hard
work and anxious thought to build up"
AS to the management of the mills, it
is probable that G. A. Pillsbury will re-
main at the head of the whole system.
In fact Mr.. Pillsbury practically admits
that such will be the case. None of the
employees, however, Will be likely to
experience any change.

1T WAS GLASS NIGHT,
And the High School Glass of'9O
Celebrated the Occasion.

The class Of 80 of the Minneapolis
high school celebrated its ''class night"
in the assembly room of the Central
High School building last evening. The
platform was decorated with potted
plants and cut flowers, and the large
audience was in hearty sympathy with
the efforts of the class to make
the class night given by go
one to be remembered as an epoch
in the lives of the boys and girls who
occupied seats on the platform. The
programme opened with a banjo and
guitar duet by Messrs. Gale and Ship
ley, after which there was an address
class. Ada Hillman was the class his
torian, and although her paper was
somewhat fowery, it apparently pleased
the audience, and her reference
to o~ratorical contests with st.
Paul, in which, of course, the
class OF $50 came out ahead, was the
cause OF considerable applause and
merriment. Judd Goodrich read an
original poem, in which the peculiar
tiles of his classmates were faithfully
depicted. Miss jeanette Brewer was
selected as the prophet OF 1900, and her
effort createe much merriment and APP
plause. Her introduction smacked
very strongly of Biblical lore.
although she could i'll no way
be charged with plagiarism. She
looked ahead twenty-five years and told
what her fellow students were doing in
1915. She had innumerable artists,
poets, judges, lawyers. authors. teach
ers, a mother superior, tradesmen and
engineers, besides housewives and
champions of women's suffrage. and
one president Of the United States.
AS the peculiarities of each
boy or girl in the class was
recognized there was a laugh and sew
eral times the fair seer had to stop
until the applause and laughter sub
sided. The Grafton of the evening was
delivered by Bert Strong, and the ad-
dress to the juniors by Charles Gale,
the response for the juniors being by
Alfred Sheffield. The exercises Of the
evening closed with the class song,

DON'T Want Them Taxed.

City Assessor Plummer stated yesterday
that his men had experienced difficulty in
finding all the mortgages which were held in
Minneapolis. The law taxes mortgages just
the same as other property, but the men who
have money invested in that manner do not
care to have it known, especially when the
assessor is around. The city assessor says he
has made a special effort to tax mortgages
this year, and for the first time in the history
of his Office the list is nearly complete.
There has been a big kick raised by the
people who nave been taxed, but the assessor
says the tax will have to be paid.

meeting yesterday morning. about 100
of the members being present. Prof.
Cyrus Northrop delivered a short adj
dress, in which he enlarged pon the
value of belonging to an association of
the kind and the fellow feeling it n
gendered. The annual election of Off
GERS was held, resulting as follows:
Judge Stephen Manoney, president; j.
W. Perkins, vice president; l.. TrusseIl,

was a happy one, many meeting for the
first time in years at the scene of their
former labors and reyiv ing old memo
rieS.
The Fellowship association discussed
the offer of the graduating class to give
$500 to be added to a similar amount to
be given by the association, the fellow
ship to be named after the class of 1890,
and decided to add the fund offered by
the class to one of the already
existing fellowships. rather than
to create a new fellowship.
The committee of appointment
reported the names of W. P. Pike and
Miss Louie Montgomery, and the re-
port was adopted. o. L.. Triggs was
named as a fellow without stipend.
The t%reasurer's report showed the asso-
citation lacks $50 of the $500 necessary
to carry the two felloWships proposed,
and the money will be raised by sub
scrlption. The following officers were
reelected: President. John Goodman;
vice president, G. j. lockwood; secre-
tary, James Gray; treasurer, F'B. Sny-
der.
