Mrs. Johanna Timm of the town of
Milford, was examined before Judge
George last Friday and adjudged insane
and taken to St. Peter. The home of
the Timm's was burned recently and It
was supposed that the unfortunate wom-
an, who is nearly 80 years of age, had
set fire to it either accidentally or in a
period of insanity.

time of the Indian outbreak in 1862.
He was twice married, his second wife
and several children surviving him. The
funeral took place Saturday afternoon.

should spend little time this winter
looking into the farm telephone business.
A telephone in farm house is a great
convenience and is not necessarily ex-
pensive. Where fifteen or twenty neigh
bors can go together telephone can be
secured cheaper and may be made TO con-
meet with the town ''central"> in which
case business can be transacted by phone.
The time is coming when the farmer
will order his groceries by phone and
have them delivered free of charge the
same as the town people.
The laws almost innumerable, regard
ing county printing are the result of
years of patchwork upen basis formed
in the early days of the statehood of
Minnesota, when population was sparse
and newspapers few, when most counties
had but single newspaper and several
counties had none. Since those days
population has vastly increased, and
newspapers have multiplied, until 1t is a
rank farce to suppose single paper in,
at least, the larger counties is capable Of
of providing all taxpayers with the in
formation that is due them, and that the
statutes require. Marshall Messenger.

. I remember that we took out the pay
for the advertisement in soap. Its manu-
facturer was minister, a slender sickly
young fellow who probably came to
Minnesota to die but people didn't die in
this salubrious climate in those days-at
least not often. He used to travel about
the country with an oilcloth hand bag,
filled with soap, peddling it among the
people. ~. ". IL

The AngIo-American Alliance.

We are happy to observe that the Wash
ington end of the Anglo-American alliance
is still in the enjoyment of transatlantic
confidence. The correspondent here of the
London Times has advised his paper
that the Administration is not to be
shaken from the position imposed upon it
by inclination and agreement. and that
Britons may still place their money on the
friendship and active support of McKin-
ley and Hay.
The Times A." correspondent, however,
sounds a note Of warning TO the people at
home. He asserts that a gentleman high
in the American Government recently told
him that every British reverse creates
new difficulty" in the United States. We
very much hope tfat the hint will be
structed not to permit any more Teverses
until after the Presidential election" A
great deal depends upon action OF that
kind. Our excellent friend Lord Salisbury
cannot be either ignorant or Indifferent to
the fact that unless Mr.. Mckinley is re-
nominated in June and reelected in No
yember the awful bar Of the Monroe Doc
trine viii be kept up against European
aggression on this side of the water, and
that the last hope of British harbor and
hinteriand in Alaska will disappear.

Some of the things which come to light
in the newspaper records OF our daily life
make the thoughtful person inclined to
wonder if there ought not TO be Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to the Eng
lish Language"
There are some Americans who seem to
think that when the American colonies
separated themselves from the mother
country in 177G they also declared them
selves Independent of their mother tongue.
and that the more the English language is
maltreated in this land OF the free
the more liberty loving. independent. and
original we are. The late Noah Webster
was of this opinion. He had an idea that
spelling reform would be a good thing, and
he was the ancestor OF al the crazy sys-
tens which have appeared since his time.
Because he thought it well TO drop the ~
in various words derived from the French
and modify pronunciation to suit colo
iaI usage other people have asserted their
rights to spell COW with * if they
want to.
But the simplifying OF cur spelling is
small thing compared with the way in
which the reckless coming of new words
Is allowed and even encouraged in some
parts Of this land. The hybrids which
have been inserted into the language
called by some OF its admirers United

mentioned by that humorist. Horace. anc
their effect on the mind Of the philologist
is somewhat weird. Compared with them,
slang terms are the purest classical Eng
lish. Slang, as a rule, is natural out
growth; the manufactured hybrid is
monstrosity, dime museum freak.
The latest example Of this is perpetrated.
or at any rate perpetuated, by no less an
agency than the Iowa Legislature. 1t
passed a law. not long ago. which is more
remarkable for common senEe than good
English. The law was to this effect:

If there is one quality in Shakespeare
which, in itself. would set him forever op a
pinnacle above the French painter Of
Partisan character it would be his humor-
the bubbling, spontaneous. delicious humor
of the. Elizabethan era. when men were just
emerging from the brute and beginning to

one of the surest hal-msrks OF the genius.
Balzac takes himself too seriously; he is
witty, satirical, but not funny. He is Gym
zeal, and there is not scrap of cynicism in
Shakespeare though he has his seasons of
railing against the wickedness of the world,
and through all his dramas sounds the deep
note OF human sorrow, the underlying
pathos and tragedy of fate.
The hunor and the pathos and the
tragedy all we're part of human nature as
Shakespeare saw it. The one character Of
Shylock is a striking instance Of this-an
achievement which distinguishes him from
all other drsmatists. and proves that he
had the ability which only transcendent
genius has of rising above the narrow ideas
of his time. The Jew in every other drama
of that day is either a comic figure or the
villain. The King of Players makes him
neither the one nor the other, but sub
timely tragic satirical. pathetic figure, the
type OF whole race. There is not an
other such Jew in fiction. The same phe-
nomenon is to be observed in 'Othello,' the
typical Moor. Such figures as these are
part of the worlds history, and they Will
live as long as there is any human race,
because they will always appeal to the I'M
DERIVING soul of man, civilized or barba-
rous Shakespeare is read by the pioneer
in his hut on the prairie, and by the scholar
in his library in a great city, surrounded
by all that can make life luxurious. There
is no such diversity in Balzacs audience,
and there neve- will be.

Prof. Harry Thurston Peck may be a
Philistine in most things, but he occa-
sionally gives utterance to sentiment
that is truly recherche and original. Some
time ago he expressed the belief that Bal
zac's name would in time be placed still
higher than Shakespeares, at the very pin
naele OF literary fame. He gives as his
main reason for this the following state
ment:
1T is in Bslzac that get as limo other single
writer Of any race age the life and character
Of entire nation Drawn for rs in their true re-
lations aud with the multitudinous completeness
OF reality"
1t is not much q reason. however. and
does honor TO Prof Peck's independence of
judgment rather than 10 his common sense
Balzac's 'Ccmedie Humane" is all that

to make a man a universal genius. Wien

The difference between Balzac and
Shakespeare is that Shakespeare has 70
limitations except those of humanity The
style of the great English dramatist is as
crude as 1t can be here and there; that OF
the French novelist is never anything hut

peare took the wide earth and all time for
his hunting ground, with the most engsg-
ing earelessness of results. He dived into
the history Of dead nations, and the faLIes
OF chirairy, and the recesses OF his own
eser-actiye brain for plots, and characters.
He never minded little matters like the
coast OF Bohemia, although for the most
part his correctness in matters of detail IS
amazing. considering the opportunities
which men had in his time. The subject
which interested him was humanity-roth-
