DULUTH THE MUNICIPAL MARVEL OF
 THE JAKE SUPERIOR REGION.

The Town Rendered Famous In 1871 by
 Proctor Knotrs Matchless Sarcasm Has
 Just Laid the Cornerstone of a s35O, 900
 Board of Trade Building.
 Two hundred and five years ago n French naval officer named Jean du Luth visited the region bordering upon the western end of Lake Superior. He was greatly imple essed with its natural beauties, and he wrote enthusiastically concerning them in his letters describ- ing his travels in the wilds of the new world.
 Du Luth's enthusiasm was richly merited, for this world affords few moro beautiful land and water scapos than those of the Lake Superior region. He was almost as greatly struck by its re- sources as by its comeliness, and in this he was also justified, but it took man. kind long time to utilize them. In 1860 there were but Fl white inhabit- ants at the spot where Du Luth pitched his chief camp and which received tho name of its chief white visitor, and there were but few more when in 1869 it was decided to make it the eastern terminus of the Northern Pacific rail road. But the dormant energies of the place were only awaiting the magic i'm pulses that follow the advent of the iron horse. In 1870 Duluth had population of 3,13l souls, of whom 1, S65 were of

Anointed Stones.

The custom of amounting stones with oil (see Genesis xviii, IS, l9), and leaving them as memorial pillars or ob- jects of worship was one that was very common among the ancicnts. The stones first worshiped were probably of meteoric origin. which. having been seen to fall from heaven, were easily associated with some deity. In Roman mythology Abadires was the name giv- en to a stone which was worshiped be- cause 1t was the general belief that it had once been swallowed ty Saturn
 The standing images" referred to as being prohibited in Leviticus (xxvi, D are thought to have been these same "anointed stones" In the light which modern investigation has thrown upon the curious customs of the early east, the act of Jacob which is recorded at tho first Scriptural reference mentioned in this mote" is of special interest as showing the mood of his mind and heart after nights entertainment of slch gracious and blessed vision. To this day the "anointed stones" of the orient are called Bactyiia, which Bo- chart suggests may be derived from Bethel, where Jacob first anointed a pillar as a saCred memorial.-St. Louis Republic.

 He reached the fields, walking straight ahead, without plana He had only one thought-to get away. to go to the end of the world, but his feet refused to carry him.

The trees took on strange forms in the darkness The wind whispered, "Poisonerr' He stopped for long time on the bank of a pond trying to persuade himself to jump in.
 A noise of footsteps caused him to look up suddenly. Two policemen were coming toward him. In the dusk they seemed enormous. like the pillars of the guillotine.
 ''It is all over." moaned poor Cha poteau, ''they have followed me. They will arrest me-

 With every step the child ascended, She spilled her roses more and more Till all were gone. and day was ended. And when the maiden came not back Came anxious loved ones out to find her And traced her by the rosy track Of all the flowers she left behind her.

A SYMPHONY IN SNOW
PREPARING FOR A WINTER CARNIVAL
 IN QUEER OLD QUEBEC.

A Week of Frigid Festivities In Which
 and Fight a Mimic Battle-Ouebec's At
 fractions to American Visitors.
 The historic and picturesque town of Quebec is preparing for an ice carnival one of those frigid festivals that have long been associated with the name of Montreal, and which were for time successfully initiated in St. Paul until the winter climate of that thriving city grew too hot to support an ice palace.
 In previous winter carnivals an ice palace modelled after those of St. Peters burg has been the center of attraction. Quebec proposes to substitute for this feature vast ice fortress on the old walls of the city. Here will be given a spectacular representation of the mem- orable assault of 1775, in which General Montgomery lost his life.
 The assault will take place at night and will be made by the combined snow shoe clubs of the city, gorgeously capari- soned and led by an experienced officer. The fortress will be defended by regular troops, and much is expected of the il- luminations and pyrotechnic display which are to follow.
 Another interesting military event will be a sham battle on the historic plains of Abraham-the troops on snow shoes and the artillery on traineaux. Other novel spectacles will be provided, and as testimonial of good will toward their American neighbors statue in ice
