LITTLE YARNS ABOUT THE GREAT.

A few nights ago Mark Twain told to
some friends story about himself,
which he failed to incorporate in Lille
on the Mississippi. On one occasion
when he started on a trip down the river
on a fiat boat he was advised never to
answer the questions asked by river
men on other boats and never to Dandy
words with them, as he would be sure
always to come out second best lie
followed the advice religiously for a
time, but one day he thought he saw a
chance to get the better of a riyerman
who called out:
.Hey thar, what yer loaded with?"
sJackasses Don't you want to come
aboard?" yelled back Twain.
That's wflut reckoned, SEEM as how
they left their biggest donkey hev Their
run of Their deck" came back. Twain
made a dive below as all the rivermen
in the neighborhood set up a derisiye
laugh at his expense.
Not one of the theater crowd knew

statesman wondered that there was not
one friendly nod or respectful bow for
him among those typical, well dressed

FRANK HUTCHINSON PEdvEF

The news of the death of Frank IL
Peavey in Chicago yesterday morning
was received over the Northwest with
a painful sense of personal loss. IT. came
as a surprise, as the latest reports on
Sunday indicated a tura for the better.
But for some inscrutable reason, his
time had come and he was taken to
his fathers. Young as he was, in the
midst of a successful life. all must mourn
his untimely taking off. Born in 1850,
Mr.. Peavey had not quite reached his
fifty-second year. He had, however,
within that time, by honest Industry anil
business sagacity, amassed large r9r-
tune-a fortune which he used to the
hearted and liberal-he walked hand in
hand with charity. In him the street
waits and the newsboys had never
failing friend-a present help in every
time of need. He knew what it meant
to be poor and work had always been
his closest companion.
He was native of Maine and began
his business career in Chicago as a clerk.
His business success was due to keen
ness of insight and quickness of oe-
cision.
The name of Peavey is inseparably
connected with the development of the
great Northwest His business enter
prises remain as monuments to his mem
DRY.
In the zenith of his career, with
abundant health, he was in love with
life and all that life contained, when
the message came. The day before
Christmas he went out without his over
coat and contracted a cold which
brought on an attack of pneumonia
from which he never rallied.
Frank H. Peavey was one man picked
out of ten thousand; generous and ten
der-hearted as woman. Though busy
in amassing wealth he acted always on
high plane of business morals. He
was built on broad plan-nothing
| mean entered into the combination
which made up his character. He was
such man as the world can ill afford
to lose.

EMBODIMENT OF COLLEGES.

The problem of education has been
studied by all nations and. the complete
solution has not yet been found. Views
held and advocated by scholars and
patriots are of the most divergent char
acter. Some insist that the education Of
state, and others hold just as tenaciousiy.
and advance as cogent reasons for their
| belief, that education is entirely pri-
yate matter ard should be provided by
parents. Between these extremes are
a multitude Of conservatives, who agree
in part with both theories. And, as in
most ether matters, the truth is probably
in the compromise.
Mr.. Carnegies unprecedented munifi-
cence in the matter of endewing institu-
tons of learning. colleges and Libraries,
has caused the best thinkers of the nation
to give the subject increased attention.
Mr.. Carnegie, however, is not the only
rich American who has done munificently
by institutions of learning. Mr.. Rookie
feHer, Mrs. Stanford and Mrs. Hearst
are notable givers to colleges and uni
versities, not to mention a large num-
Der of others who have done proportion
ately well in this respect.
Great universities are a nations glory.
They afford opportunities for the rising
generation which promise strong charac-
ters to guide the destiny of peoples and
countries. But the serious question aris-
ing at this time is the future effect Of
a large number of such institutions owing
their existence to the endowments OF
wealthy men. Would it not be better for
the people themselves to create, pay for
and support all institutions of higher
education, as they do the common schools
of the land? Such institutions would
then be a source of pride to all the peo-
pie, as the fine institutions of Mime
sofa are source of pride to every citi-
zen of the state But for the multiplicity
of smaller colleges, under the supervision
of religious denominations, there would
be in Minnesota half dozen or more
schools like the state university. h e
o b does not undertake to say posi-
lively that such condition would be
better than the present condition, but it
knows that many thoughtful men and
women think so. The subject is one for
further study by all interested in the
future of their country.
