The cabinet Members Wife.

The authorship of the much discussed
"lnner Experiences of Cabinet Mem
ber's Wife," printed in The Ladies
Home Journal, will be revealed in the
June issue of that magazine, when the
name Of Anna Farqular will appear as
the author. 1t is surmised that the
domestic experiences described in these
letters were those of Mrs. w. II. H.
Miller, wife of the At,orney-General
in President Harrison's Cabinet
since Miss Farquhar is known to be
personal friend of the Miller family,
and to have spent considerable time
with them in Washington during their
official residence there. The author of
these letters was born and raised in
Indianapolis, in neighborly relations
with the Harrison and Miller families,
but for ten years past she has lived
studious professional life in New York,
London and Boston. She is now con
rected with the editorial staff of The
Boston Transcript. In addition to her
cabinet Members Wife" letters she
has published one novel-"A Singers
Heart"-and another one is about to
be issued. She is a young woman,
exceedingly clever, and only her
closest friends have known her connec-
ton with the Washington letters which
have attracted such wide attention.

Comic 0peretta 1.-The Pixies"

W. A. Milne, manager of the
National Entertainment Bureau,
Minneapolis, is in the city in charge
of the comic operetta, 1.-The Pixies
to be given at the Opera House We'd
nesday and Thursday of next week
under the auspices, and for the bene-
fit of ST. Katharines Guild. This
entertainment comes to US highly
recommended and we therefore have
every reason to believe it will be
tirst-class. Sixty boys and girls and
twenty young ladies are required for
this gigantic production. and all are
now busily at work under the per-
sonal direction of the author.
Nothing so elaborate has ever been
attempted here, and the monstrous
houses which always greet this. the
most beautiful and laugha BILE operetta
ever produced, bespeaks two crowded
houses. 1.-The Pixies" much resemble
the Scotch Brownies" and their
makeup is overwhelmingly funny.
Melodious choruSes, witty lines, be-
wildering marches. new dances,
dazzlingly beautiful tableaux and
side-splitting situations combine to
make the most delightful evenings
entertainment imaginable.

WIN THEIR FIRST GAME.
Grand Rapids High School Ball Team De-
feats the NormaIS at Stevens Point,

Howe High school evidently has a
baseball club that intends to keep pace,
II possible, with the champion record
OF last seasons football eleven. The
boys went up to Stevens Point SATURDAY.
and pounded the leather sphere in con-
test with the best Normal team in that
city. The result, which took ten innings
to decide, was victory for the High
school and demonstration that our
young athletes can hold their own in
neighboring Normal circles at most anv
old game. Shortstop Fuller, well known
III twin city ball circles. was in harness
with the Normals. Under his direc-
ton the Normal players have been IN
training for the past two months That
they were i'll fine condition the follow
ing paragraph, clipped from the
NORMAL POINTER for April, publication
issued monthly by students at the
stevens Point Normal, is submitted in
evidence:
The team practiced in gymnasium
until the weather was warm enough to
60 out doors. Mr.. Fuller has coached
the boys on sliding bases, picking up
grounders, how to do quick work; and
in fact, all the underlying principles of
baseball. There are about twenty
young men trying for the team, and if
they keep up their practice and do
faithful work, there is no reason why
we cannot have winning team this
spring. From now on, two teams will
be picked out and pitted against each
other every night to give the boys
practice i'll team work. The team
expects to play several games this
season. Dates have already been
scheduled with Lawrence for May Z
and 2l, Oshkosh May %, Superior June
g."
Odds were clearly against the High
School, their victory was therefore the
more complete and self-satisfactory.
The contest came off at Athletic Park
and was a decidedly close and inter
esting exhibition of the great game, in
which High school players did their
full share of credit work. Final score
was 8 to s. The players and their
positions were as follows:

REAL NUGGETS FROM ALASKA.
Eddie Mahoney Mails Letter and Arvin
keiIs Sends Gold.

The following letter WAS received by
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mahoney Saturday
from their son in Alaska. 1t is the first
word direct from him since he went in
to the gold country nearly one year ago.
Dear Mother and All: l suppose you
think that [ am dead, not receiving any
letters from me lately. The Dunaven
boys said that was the report outside,
bnt it is mistake. Am all right, in
good health, with plenty to eat and
wear. There are lots of people in here
and not much work doing. Claims are
all gobbled up for miles around but
have got few. They are: No. 30 below
Discovery on Henderson; 3 above on
Swedish ITO above on Bonanza. The
last named is not worth much, but am
going to sell it today for 81 500 and will
| buy III above for $500. The other two
| of my claims are Woltf: fair price and
| intend to keep them.
| bought three fish nets for $3.50 and
| intend to fish as soon as the river
| breaks. Fish sell at 81 per pound. l
ought to catch 100 pounds per day so
that won't be very bad. 1t is better
than working for someone else at SIS
| per day.
| weather has not been very cold this
| winter. 1t is nice now and lots of the
claims are about worked out. | expect
to be home next fall in time 10 eat
Christmas dinner with you, satisfied
with the country. Most of the boys
are thinking about going out in the
spring. l can make more money by
staying until fall, but after that money
will be scarce and things will be dull.
Grub is not as high as it used to be.
Have been driving dog team this winter
hauling wood to town. Wood is worth
$45 cord and it is scarce at that.
| Give up all potion of coming to this
country for it is best to stay where you
are One in the family is enough to be
here. Lots of people are wishing they
were home now, but l am all right.
Must stop now as the dog train is ready
to leave. Love TO all.

We never sit down 10 prepare this
column without wondering how many
people read it. The prevailing feeling
about it in our mind is much as though
we had dropped stone in bottonless
pit and were leaning over the edge
straining to catch the slightest sound
from the last pebble. AS you know,
there is occasionally personal applica-
ton of the general truths we state and
Of course that is satisfactory as far as it
goes. What we would like to feel is
that this column, for the sake of the
interests it touches, was read by every
patron of the public schools. Ask your
neighbor if he reads it and then tell
the editor his reply.

Educationally speaking too many
towns are simply drifting-ships with
out chart, compass or commander.
Nothing can come of such lack of policy.
There must be a goal to reach and
constancy in the effort to attain it. The
educational policy of this city is in its
formative period but the fact that a
policy is even forming is hopeful sign.
To appreciate its significance just ask
teacher or citizen or director of a
neighboring city what they intend
doing for their schools the next year
or so.

Mrs. Danbuy's Patriotism.

"Of course we want war; exclaimed
Mrs. Danbury. according to the Cleveland
Leader. 1.-The idea of letting such an out
rage go unpunished! 1 don't care whether
the Spaniards did it or not. They deserve
TO be whipped, anyway. If they hadn't
oppressed those poor Cubans our boat
wouldn't have been ordered to go down
there, and the terrible thing would prob
ably not have happened.
People who want to wait until the facts
can be learned are towards. They have
no right to live in a free country They
should go back to Europe where they or
their ancestors came from and be serfs
If liberty isn't worth fighting for 1t isn't
worth having.

l would show some of these towards how
to act at such q time as this"'
Bravo! Bravo!" exclaimed her nus
band. Spoken like regular little patriot
Your sentiments are mine exactly. I'm
glad you take such q noble view of it, for
now I shall not have to hesitate any
longer. There is something 1 have wanted
to tell you for two days, but have hest
tated for fear it might distress you. l am
going to join a military company so as TO
be ready to go to the front at the first call
to serve my country. 1 am so glad
you

you crazy? Do you mean to say that you
would go away to war and leave me here
alone? You will join no military COM

what happens! This country has never
