What would Mr.. Bryan say il
his tailor should send around to
him pair of trousers made in
1896 upon an order dated Sept. 81
1899? Prosperity has expanded
Mr.. Bryan's girth since 1896, but
Mr.. Bryan comes good deal
nearer to standing whore he stood
three years ago than the country
does to standing where it stood
then. But Mr.. Bryan and his
friends are insisting upon putting
the country into country into
pair of 1896 trousers, and a pair at
that, which was to short in one
leg and too short in the other
with holes in the knee and patch
es on the basement, when they
were turned out of the Chicago
convention. It will never do, Mr..
Bryan it will never do.-St. Paul

California wheat for seed, but it

Southern Minnesota Sculptor.

Southern Minnesota Sculptor.
It is not generally known that South
western Minnesota possesses sculpt-
or whose artistic genius is so pro-
nounced as to make him considered
by his fellow artists rival of the old
masters.
Mr.. Leon H. Moore came to Pipe
stone in the early eighties, bringing
with him his wife and little son and
all his household goods and gods.
He formed a partnership in the real
estate business with Mr.. II. D. San
ford and proved himself successful
fnancier.
Possessing a genial nature he be-
came quite favorite with the boys in
those early days but neither he nor his
comrades dreamed that the fires of
genius were smouldering within him,
till one day walking the streets of
Duluth he saw statue in a window
before which he stood wrapped with
admiration, when suddenly the
thought occurred to him that he could
produce it's equal.
He Immediately bought a set of
tools and secured blocks of stone and
contrary to all artistic practice he set
to work without model or sketch to
cut the stone itself, and he reproduced
a statute of such startling perfection
and originality as to be the wonder
of all who beheld it. This statute of
the squaw and pappoose was followed
by twenty-five or thirty others all dis
playing marvellous ability.
Desiring to post himself on the best
methods Mr.. Moore went to Boston
last year to take lessons from the best
masters, carrying with him photo
graphs of his pieces as an introduction
to the profession. And now comes
the surprise. The profession would
not receive him as the artist till he had
sent back and procured the affdavits
of some of the best citizens that he
really was the designer and sculptor
of those pieces of which he bore the
photographs.
Mr.. Cobbs, the master artist said he
could not take him as a pupil in art,
he could do nothing for him but to
teach him to model in clay and to
make life masks in stucco and other
technicalities of art for Mr.. Moore al
ready possessed what all true artists
are striving for-real artistic merit.
Mrs. Moore also took lessons and
worked right along with him in model
ing, designing and typography, of
which they have many fine pieces.
In strength of design, Mr.. Moore's
art seems almost an inspiration and in
execution he possesses not only Wig
orous grasp, but he touches with such
a fine and dainty hand that shows he
possesses the very poetry of art.
The Ferris Grand Opera House in
Pipestone and also the Moore block is
with pieces from his
chisel. Some of his most striking
are the Squaw and Pap
poose, Sitting Bull, Disgust, Mr..
Punch, The Horror, Mirth, Sac and
Fox Indians, The BOBBY Boy, Agony,
etc. After Mr.. Moore had completed
q few months of study Mr.. Cobb, the
master artist, told him to go home and
work, to stamp his own originality on
his creations and it would insure his
success. MRs. j. NJ. Bull.

The evening entertainment plan
for tho state fair is sized up by the
St. Paul business men as follows:
The jobbers and merchants gen.
orally favor a continuation of the
plan. The visitors from the out
side do their shopping in the cities
in the forenoon and spend the after:
noon and evenings on the grounds.
The merchants accordingly do as
big business in that way as they
did with the street entertainments.
On the other hand the saloon
men are especially vigorous in their
protest against the continuation
Of the evening programmes. The
confectioners and the restaurant
owners as we'll as the cigar dealers,
profess mildly, on tho ground
that they are deprived Of the stray
nickels which the crowd on the
street would drop in their tills.

NEW FIELDS FOR NovEusTs.
Why Does Not Some Writer Use an Eskimo
as Heroine?

| The division of the earth among con-
temporary novelists has not as yet in
cluded Greenland, where some new
| writer can lay the scene of story in
which the heroine will wear sealsliin
trousers and calm her troubled heart
with mighty drafts of train ell.
Neither has any novelist seized upon
| China, where great things may yet be
done by a story teller who really knows
something OF that modern and multitude
| nous sphinx, the Chinaman.
But with these exceptions there is
! very little desirable territory which is
not pre-empted. This of course greatly
hampers new novelistS who are COM
PEELED to write novels dealing only with
English men and women at home.
England is the common possession of
everybody. and even the American writer
who does not wish to initiate either Mr..
Harte or Mr.. Howells is compelled to
lay the scene OF his stories in London
or i'll some one of the many little Eng
lish colonies to be found i'll continental
cities.
The English novelist who wishes to
write story characterized by some little
novelty is reduced to inventinG DodOs or
other fabulous creatures, an attempt
which fails more frequently than it sue
ceedS.
This state of things is so plain to ev
cry writer that l wonder that no one has
rushed i'll to occupy the Greenland or
the Chinese field.
a Greenland story would at once at
tract attention because of its novelty,
and we who have never been to Green
land could warmly recognize the truth
of its local color, and the profound
knowledge of Eskimo character shown
by the writer.
An advanced Eskimo maiden with
wild desire to wear petticoats instead
of trousers and to drink tea instead of
train oil could hardly fail to charm the
reader.
1 am afraid, however, that the adj
vanced Eskimo maid would not survive
beyond the first four or five chapters,
for 1 understand that whenever an Es-
kimo woman exhibits symptoms of adj
vanced thinking she is Immediately set

The commissions ruling or brief now

idcnt Proctor, of the commission. to
ex-senator Edmunds. of Vermont, who
was chairman of the senate judiciary
committee ut the time the civil ser
vice act was passed. The latter in his
opinion. to which the commission gives
particular significance. says: Il en-
timely agree with the conclusions stated
i'll the brief. l think it is clear that
the solicitation of such political aids
by means of the pOStoftice is distinctly
within the prohibition of section MI
Of the act to which you refer.
Argument Of the Ex-senator.
''1hc language of the section is that
no person shall, in any room or build
ing etc. solicit in any manner what
ever etc. 1t is not that no person
being ina room or building shall solicit.
but il is that no solicitation shall be
made in any such place. no matter
where the person making the solicita-
ton may be. If. for instance. person
on the street outside the treasury de-
partment should send a written offer
70 some person employed within the
building to pay price for robbing the
vaults. or committing any other wrong.
it would be clear that his offenSe was
committed within the building. for the
writing of the offer would be entirely
incomplete until delivered To the per
son to whom il was addressed. ! think
il impossible. therefore. to maintain
that such acts as you refer to are not
within both the letter and the spirit of
the act of congress" This also is the
commissions argument
Object of Passing the Law.
The committee says: Tho intention
of congress as expressed in the twelfth
section of the civil service act was to
protect federal employees in the dis
charge of their official duties from
political assessments by any one The
mischief to he suppressed was the of
fetal and QuaSi-official solicitation OF
clerks for political purposes official
when officers used their stations to
intimidate SuboTdinatcS. QuaSi-official
when outsiders made use of federal
buildings for purposes demoraliZing
both to tho efficiency and discipline of

with the mode of soliciting. but the
fact itself. and II would have been
most unusual if congress had under
taken To specify the different forms of
soliciting"
