THE late Theodore A. Havemeyer,
who reached the ranks of a million
aire, once made the following re-
marks concerning the causes for his
success: "For twenty-five years l
was at work at a. M, and did not
leave the refinery until 7 p. m. 1
never went to bed at night until I
had gone through the whole establish
ment. Many times worked all the
night long. While l was a single
man my expenses never exceeded $50
month. Pilot bread and cheese
made for me many meal. A canvass
suit was my daily apparel, and there
was no part of the business at which
l and my brother did not work; no
part we considered too dirty or too
arduous or beneath u.s." And the
Duluth NeoUs- Tribune in commenting
upon this remarks: "And yet we are
told by professional agitators that
wealth is crime" They probably
would regard it a crime by being OBJ
liged to work that way. They want
wealth to drop to them in chunks
with no en- deavor on their part.

A NEW OUTFIT.
The Grand Lodge, Knights of Honor,
Helps the Local Lodge.

Mankato lodge No. 2O5O, Knights of
Honor, lost it's property in the burn
ing of the Odd Fellows block. At a
special meeting held ten days ago. a
committee was appointed to secure
new regalia, rituals, etc. This COM
mittee reported at a well attended
meeting Of the lodge Friday night
that the grand lodge had offered to
furnish the subordinate lodge with a
new equipment of paraphernalia,
rituals, ETC., free of charge. These
would have cost about $40, and the
lodge feels very grateful to the grand
lodge for the kindness shown.
A resolution was adopted thanking
the grand lodge, and especially Grand
Dictator Judge J. o. Pierce, of Min
neapolis, who was largely instru-
mental in bringing about the gift.
A committee on securing new hall
reported that lease for an indefinite
period of time had been made with
Schiller lodge No. 20, l. O. O. F., for
the use of it's hall over the Mankato
National bank on the first and third
Friday nights of each month.
Two petitions for membership were
received, and there will be work at
the next meeting.

programs will be carried out, but ex-
cursions for.the nature and drawing
work will be incorporated in the work
whenever it can be done to good pur-
pose.

this morning on warrant sworn out
by Henry Thomas, charging him with
assault in the third degree. Whalen
was represented by Burt Pau and
pleaded not guilty, and his trial was
set for Saturday at 1000 a. m. He
claims that Thomas assaulted him
with knife Saturday nights and that
whatever he did was done simply in
self defense. He has bad cut on the
back of his neck. He denies that he
stabbed Thomas, and thinks that the
latter cut himself. Whalen was
released on 800 bond, which he fur
nished, Mr.. Lobdell, of West Manka-
to, going his surety. He may have

DEATH OF REV. MARSHALL.

Mr.. W. H. Whitelaw, of Good
Thunder, received letter few days
ago from his brother, John, who re-
sides in Kidder, Missouri, wherein he
made known the fact that. Rev. John
Marshall, former pastor of the Con-
gregational church in this city, had
recently died in Cotton, California.
His remains were taken to Portage
City, Wis, for burial.
Mr.. Marshall had large number of
warm friends in Mankato who will be
grieved to leard of his demise. He
had not been in good health for some
months, but the direct cause of his
death was not given in the letter re-
ceived by Mr.. Whitelaw.

THE ODD FELLOWS BLOCK.
The Lodge Decides to Put About $751;
900 Into 1t.
Will Cover the Entire Ground and be
Fine Building.

Mankato lodge No. Is, l. o. o. F.,
held a we'll attended meeting last
uight, and the main subject consider
ed was a report from the special build
ing committee appointed week ago.
This committee presented the result
of it's Investigations and asked for
further instructions.
The lodge decided to erect build
ing at a cost of about $4,000. to be
three stories high and to cover the en-
tire ground owned by the lodge. The
lodge owns the lot between the rear of
the old building and the alley, making
a depth of a hundred feet. The new
building will either extend to the
alley or within few feet of it, in the
latter case room being allowed for an
area approach to the basement. There
is some talk of the lodge extending
the third floor over J. B. Johnson's
lot, in case the latter builds, and
negotiations to this effect have been
on foot. This would give magniti-
cent lodge hall, and the entire block
would be constructed on one design.
The committee was instructed to con-
fer further with Mr.. johnson in re-
gard to the matter.
A difference of opinion developed as
to whether the building should have
a high basement, like the FREE
PRESS building, or an ordinary base
ment. In case high basement should
be decided upon, the first and second
floors would be used for Office pur-
poses. In case the first floor should be
on the sidewalk grade, it would be
used for store purposes. The second
floor will be used for offices in any
event. The majority seemed to favor
the high basement idea.
Another difference of opinion arose
in regard to the material of which the
building should be constructed. The
majority favored Mankato stone with
a rough surface, on the Second and
Jackson street sides, with brick on
the back sides. The committee was
instructed to get estimates on a stone
front and a pressed brick front.
The building will be heated by
steam, have closets on every floor, and
will have all of the modern conven-
fences. There was a disposition on
the part of all to put up good, sub
stantial building, and one that shall
be credit alike to the lodge and the
city. The entire third floor will be
given over to lodge room purposes,
and will be much more complete and
better arranged than the old one.
The committee was instructed to
continue it's Investigations, procure
estimates and perhaps a rough de-
sign of the new building. 1t will pre-.
sent a report at the meeting of the
lodge next Monday night, when
further steps will be taken. 1t is the
intention to have the building erected
this summer, and to begin work as
soon as the preliminaries can be
agreed upon.

SUMMER PROGRAMS
Of the intermediate and Grammar De-
partments of the rlodel School.

In an issue of last Saturday the at.
tentiOn of parents was called to the
interesting programs for the primary
department this summer at the Nor
NAL. The program given below have
many things in common with those
for the primary department.
In the first place the hours are short
and it is possible for children to be ex-
cused from school regularly at 1000
a. M. if their parents so desire.
Secondly. No hometasks are to be
required.
Thirdly. The work is such as is
both interesting to and easy for the
children.
Fourthly. Absence from town for
few days will not hinder the child
from using his term proftably both
before and after this period.
Filthy. The teaching will be
almost exclusively in the hands of ex-
perts.
The following is the program for
the Intermediate department:
$50 to S:55, Morning Talk and
Music.
S:55 to 9:15, Nature Study summer
9:15 to 9:35, Biography or Written
Work.
9:35 to 1000, Reading and Litera-
ture.
Especial students may be excused at
this point, though it is not encourag-
ed except among the younger pupils. J
1000 to 1910, Physical Culture or
Recess.
1910 to 1920, Spelling.
1920 to 10:40, Practical Arithmetic.
1O:4O to IL 100, Drawing.
In this plan, it will be readily seen,
the games, story work, and perhaps a
little of the general recreative
character of the previous program
have given place to little of the
heavier work which children of these
grades desire, though ample provision
has been made for such recreation as
will be needed.
The arithmetic is to be largely
mental, dealing with fundamental
forms of reasoning by concrete and
practical examples. The aim is to get
independent. accurate, and rapid
thinking.
The Grammar department is as fol-
lows:
S3O:to $40, Opening Exercises.
$40 to 9:lO, Nature Study Summer
forms.)
9:1O to $50, Study Period.
$3.50 to $50, Literature Classics
from Longfellow and other Authors.
$50 to 1910, Study Period, Some
history or geography may be intro
duced here.
1910 to 1920, Physical Culture.
1920 to 10:40, Music (a) ,o.oo
1910 to HOO, Drawing (a) VI lo'@o
to Hoo, Practical and Mental
Arithmetic (b)
The ordinary parent would not
hesitate to place child old enough
for these departments in a store or
factory for seven or eight hours day
during the summer, if good pay was
to be given for his services. Will it
hurt the child to spend from one
fifth to one-third of that time under
skilled instruction in the school room
where his mind will be pleasantly and
profitably employed without reaching
the point of fatigue?
1t must be borne in mind that the
