If all the gold and gems that will be on
exhibition next Monday at the big store of
the Powers Mercantile company, Nicol-
let avenue, were real, it would take the
fortune of an Astor or a Vanderbilt to buy
them. It Is a collection of fac-simile
copies Of the crowns Of the rulers of tho
world and for two weeks the company
will have them exhibition for the
pleasure and profit of patrons.
Every crown of note in the world is
there, from the splendid gemmed crown
Of the German empire to the queer but
beautiful thing which tops the head of
Slams august ruler.
Every crown is an exact copy. It Is
precisely like the original in size and
color Of metal, cutting, color and setting
Of all the gems. 1t has taken three years
to complete, and though the gold Is only
plate and jewels imitation, SO elaborate is
the work that the collection is valued at
$4,000.
Intended for Big Exposition.
1t was intended for the ST., Louis Ex
position, but the postponement for year
enabled the Paris branch of the firm to
secure the collection for exhibition at a
time when crowns and coronations are of
peculiar interest to the world.
In the collection are these insignia of
| royalty: Italy, Great Britain, the German
Empire, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, Rus
STA, Siam, Spain, Holland. Austria and
Denmark. Besides these are the crowns
worn by Josephine and Napoleon l., the
Pope's tiara and sceptre the orb of Eng
land, the iron crown of Lombardy and the
great diamond star Of Japan's Mikado.
Most superb Of all, and the most valu-
| able in the collection, is the crown of
Germany. 1t is simply basket-work
Of gems, containing 1880 diamonds and a.
sapphire cross in front. Around the Dor
der are the imperial eagles. The original
Is valued at $4,000, OOO
Most interesting of all, however, is the
| replica of the crown which was placed on
| the head of King Edward VII. IN London

s. W. Leavett, a member Of the state

ex-President Kleeberger, in which he
states rather fully the reasons why the,
board of control believesthat the sample
books sent to the members of the state
library commission for review and in

quotes from several publishers as fol-

known to all the people Of the northwest.
It was Frank D. Higbee that set all the
papers Of the country talking as to who
would be the model of the famous Silver
Statue, that was the official exhibit of the
state of Montana at the Chicago worlds
fair, and which was afterwards exhibited
to crowds that taxed the capacity of the
Olson store in this city. He it was that
also caused the Europeans to marvel at
the great wealth of golden bullion neces-
sary to construct the Maude Adams gold
statue, which was shown at the Paris ex-
position of 1900 There is probably no one
to-day who gives as much thought and
study towards originating and developing
ideas which are strictly original and each
one widely different from it's predecessor
than Mr.. Higbee. He says, regarding the
Grown" attraction, that it cost him more
trouble and hard work to obtain the
necessary drawings and models than to
have built a dozen gold statues. Espec-
tally was this true Of the courts of those
monarchs who are representatives Of the
old time theory of the divine right of
kings, and 1t also required eighteen
months patient negotiation before the
necessary dispensation was obtained to
build copy of the tiara and scepter of
His Holiness Pope Leo XIII. His artist
has been kept at work for over three years
and Mr.. Higbee made several trips to
Europe himself, and says that at many
times, after several thousand dollars had
been spent upon the enterprise, that he
was almost ready to give up, as the OBJ
stacles in his path seemed insurmounta-
BILE.
Minneapolis has been fortunate enough
to be the fourth city in America to have
this collection. New York, Chicago and
Boston, so far, being the only places that
have had them. Mr.. Powers learned of
the collection several months ago, and at
once secured them, and the firm believes
that they will prove the most instructive
and high class art exhibit ever brought to
this city, and especially suggest that visi-
tors, II possible. come early in the morn
ing to see them. "aEr:gs-c ':.s.

LIKE a PROVIDENCE,
A Floating Box Changed Mans Life.

Thirgs drift into our lives in a curious
way. A man was visiting the seashore
while an invalid and one day a little
empty Grape Nuts box floated to him. The
food facts he learned. changed his whole
life-but let him tell his story.
THE doctors said 1t was acute indigest-
lon gastritis. There was really moth
trg that could eat and enjoy, and when
one cannot enjoy his meals, he may as
we'll be dead. There was a time when ]
could eat and digest anything, but for two
years previous to last spring, I was in a
wretched state. tried everything heard
OF, took all kinds Of medicine, almost
enough to float ship, but with no last
Ing purpose.
Last spring, had to give up work and
went to Atlantic City. One day while
strolling along the beach, noticed a box
being tossed about on the breakers a1d
finally thrown up on the sand I sat
down on the sand and looked at it idly al
first, but after reading a few words on the
box, I got interested. 1t told how Grape
Nuts food was prepared and all its gooo
qualities, and I made up my mind ther
and there that I would try it.
1 have not taken a drop Of medicine
from that day to this, but used about E
half package Of Grape-Nu each day FOL
two months. Then I gradually began eat
ing meat and vegetables and fruit, ant
now I can eat anything care to withou
1t distressing me, but still cling to Grape.
Nuts food, as I am fond of it prepared IL
various ways and never day passes tina
don't have it in some form.
After the first two months Of using
Grape-Nuts, 7 weighed myself every fif
teen days, and found I gained from three
to five pounds each time. I have beer
working every day since, and can say
never felt better. Thanks to Grape Nuts
I now have an appetite like billy goa
and am no more troubled with bat
stomach.
IT wish I could talk with everyone
troubled as I was 7 know a good many
people say; oh, I've tried everything
am tired of trying etc, but say, DON
give up until you try Grape Nuts food anc
you will not regret it, Name given BY

the loss without complaint and viewed
his sons service with a sense OF salts
