T0LST0Y TALKS OF CREEDs
Inquired, MinuteIy About American
School System.
I.Aslia's Mnnthlv

But don't you still teach creeds in Amer
ica?" TOlstoy asked me. I said we did NOT
allow creeds to he taught in public schools.
He asked me to explain the public schools of
America, which 1 did. "Oh, that is grand. -
he cried, knowledge, true science for every
child" Still he said he was under the i'm
preston we taught creeds "Now the Con-
gregational, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist.
as we'll as the Catholic, they must teach the
church beliefs somewhere" I said that in the
parochial Catholic schools I understood there
was certain amount of the creed taught
but in your home your mothers, your teach
ers, somebody, somewhere teaches a great
deal of church belief l replied that some
parts Of the Bible, like the Sermon on the
Mount and the Lords prayer, were read in
our schools.
THAT is good. How about the parents
Do they teach dogma to the infant?' / had
to tell the truth, that some of our mothers
teach dogmas, but nearly all let the Young
brain of childhood form itself according to
reason and teach the child by example rather
than by precept il.si aaHs
mo creed snCuId be taught child'' ex-
claimed the philosopher. When l said that
some parents are so afraid to wrong the
child's intellectual freedom that they do not
teach the child any religion at ALL Just hop
ing 1t would grow up and be converted he
said: "Ah, that Is fatal to religion, God,
morality, the divine, the sublime. It wrongs
the child for a prent ITO withhold strong, def
mite teachings there But religious and moral
teaching should be all proved, all true, all
scientific, all fact. T"

EXPECTED TO RESIGN
Signs that Point to Megaarden' 3
Taking Such a Step.
MAY THUS SAVE HIMSELF LATER
Judge Steele Says, However, That
Resignation Has Not Been
Seriously Considered.
In official circles the resignation of Sheriff

In official circles the resignation of Sheriff
Phil 7. Megaarden is confidently expected; !;
SO confidently, in fact, that the board Of
county commissioners adjourned last Mon
day to meet next Saturday morning on the
suggestion that there might be some de-
velopments which might, demand their i'm
mediate attention. The commissioners say
that they adjourned until Saturday because
they feared there might be such rush OF
bills by Monday-the regular meeting day
that they might be swamped, SO they
decided to come together EARLIER to light
en- the load. AS a matter of fact the bills
for this year have been largely disposed
Of. And it is tacitly admitted that the ad-
journment was taken to an unusual day in
accordance with an intimation from the
county attorneys Office.
Opinion of a Lawyer.
One of the best known lawyers in the city,
and one who has sat for some time on the
district bench, says that there is no other
course for Sheriff Megaarder to pursue than
to resign-that there is no other safe course.
This gentleman says:
II Megaal den goes or tomorrow to intro
duce evidence in his own behalf before tho
governors commissioners he simply exposes
the whole defense in his criminal case to the
state
The governors examination is important.
of course, but the criminal proceedings are
vastly more important. He could better afford
to give up the Office as gracefully as possible
than to assist the state In committing him to
the state penitentiary He can't have two
defenses, one before the governors commits
sioners and another before the district court
Should he reveal his defense tomorrow the
state viii certainly come prepared at the trial
OF the criminal case to tear his defense to
pieces. 1 don't know what Mr.. Megaarden in
tends to do, but can't see how he can do
otherwise than to resign. AS / am informed
he could even have prevented the criminal
proceedings had he resigned some time ago,
but, of course, that opportunity is past now.
Pressure Brought to Bear.
It is understood that considerable pres
sure has been brought to bear on Me-
garden to lead him to retire and avoid
scandal as far as possible. His attorneys
are said to favor such a course, but Me-
garden Is determined to fight to the end,
so 1t Is said.
Judge John H. Steele says that the mat
ter Of resignation has not been seriously
considered. The present intention is to
proceed tomorrow morning with the intro
duction of evidence on behalf of Mr.. Me-
garden and to continue until all that was
available had been placed before the COM
missioners. What Developments may turn
up cannot be predicted, but the present
plans are to continue the fight.

The Duchess Pursued the Cat.

LeMoyne followed, going on composedly
with her lines and the appropriate ac-
tion, and it was not until the actress had
followed the cat as far out along the foot
lights as she dared that the audience was
quite sure that the cat was an intruder.
A moment later, the duchess went to
the window to look out with contempt at
the mob shouting derisive songs, and the
audience heard her calmly say to some
one behind the scenes, "The cat is on
the STAGE
One more attempt she made to capture
the intruder, and this time succeeded in
driving it into the obscurity Of the boxes.

mas in Local Hotels.
Minneapolis hotels entertained fewer people
to-day than on any Christmas for many
years past. At the West, Clerk Ernest Ruel
spoke of the small patronage and attributed
it to good times. Said he:
Everybody has been doing well this sea-
son, and consequently everyone has felt that
they could afford to go home for Christmas.
In hard times we usually have a large num-
Der Of travelling men in the house over holi-
days. They run in to Minneapolis from
neighboring towns. and usually 60 to the
theater or amuse themselves in some other
way.
This year. however, everybody seems to
have gone home. Sales have been good in all
lines, and when a man can afford it he
usually elects to spend Christmas with his
family il he has one. But we are not kick
ing. Business hag been good all fall; and
we have no fault to fnd."
The same thing was true of the other
hotels. The Nicollet appeared deserted and
even the Hyser, which has been filled ever
since it opened, wore an unwonted air Of holi-
day quiet. At the National the office chairs
were unocoupied and only few guests were
registered.
Christmas, OF course, is the foremost holi-
day known to Americans. It is the great
home day. and it was so observed to-day.

to use their depot as a storehOuse for

city was successful in its action and
destroyed the beer that the company
would be the only loser as the bills of

on the railroad company for the beer
