The Joy Of midsummer possessed Elaine.
Commonly she was pale, with Swallowed eyes
and piteotsly dropping mouth. To-day the
shadows, the dropping, had vanished. She
smiled until dimples played hide and seek
through cheeks family pink as the sweet
brier in the ,hedgerow. She was picking the
first ripe peaches in the young orchard that
was her mothers pride. It had but just come
into bearing and was full three weeks ahead
of anything the neighborhood had ever
known. Elaine and her mother were piously
glad that the ripening fell in with the date
of the big meeting. ~
The peach basket would go to church to-
morrow. along with other baskets overlooking
with good things. There were to be three
sermons, with dinner and supper in between /;
much choice gossip also, with, incidentally,
lovemakng. Everybody within ten miles
round would be there. That meant to Elaine

VERNE,s REMARKABLE FORECAST

Jules Verne was interviewed the other day
by London Mail reporter at Amiens, and
found him at work on his hundredth volume.
The distinguished novelist took time, how
ever, to declare that in fifty or a hundred
years from now there will not be: any novels,
because they will be, supplanted by the daily
newspaper, which will make them unneces-
sary They are fast declining now. LAS his
toric records" said Verne, 1.-THE world will
file it's newspapers. Newspaper writers have
learned to color everyday events SO we'll
that to read them will give to posterity a
truer picture than the historic or descrip-
tive novel could do, and, as for the novel
psychological, that will soon cease to be,
and will die of inanition in your own life
time" He thinks the real psychology of life
is in it's news, and more truth can be gath
cred from the police court story and every
day doings of the crowd than can be obtained
If an attempt Is made to clothe the psychology
ieal moral in a garb Of felton, .G
What the French romancst says about the
romance in real life furnished by the daily
newspaper is absolutely true. This romance
has indeed been utilized by novelists as the
groundwork Of many a novel; but it is ques-
tionable If the novel will disappear within
fifty or a hundred years, however success
fully the newspaper writer may color his
tale Of days dongs. Possibly the public
may demand the condensed novel to save
time, and take it with their newspapers as the
completed story. Are we going to be so busy
in the future that We shall take both our
food and novels in capsule condensation
No one knows. There is no indication at
present that the world is getting tired of
novels presented in the present forms. The
publisher takes his chances and hits the
spot oftener than he misses it.. And 1t may
be a very stupid book, from an artistic
standpoint, which hits the spot.
It is not for any one of the twentieth CEN
fury to deny that the race will prefer to
take its romances in concentrated lozenges,
80 to speak, in 1850, but if it does, a great
psychic revolution will surely have occurred
to bring about the change. .-

The world must take the sons of rich men
as it finds them-the bad with the good.
When the unimpassioned STATISTICAL looks
the matter up he will find that the percent
age of the favorjtes of fortune who do not
work and only spend is small, and the per
centage of the sons Of rich men who make
proper use Of their money is large. The
good which the latter do tar exceeds the
evil the former do. Unfortunately, the son
of a rich uman at his office desk. is not SO
conspicuous as the son Of the rich man driv-
ing furiousiy in his "sea-green automobile .

gets much fcensure. =

Thirty-fve more miners killed in a
mine explosion. II we had a war on
hand in which as many men were killed
as are killed in the mines of this coun-
try we would hear great deal about
war being hell, but what about mining
as it is now carried on? We renew our
suggestion that a mine explosion or other
mine disaster Involving loss Of life should
put the mine owner on trial at once for
his life or liberty and mako him prove
that he was not criminally negligent in
connection with the accident, and that
IL that were done there would not be
nearly as many men killed in mines. Some
OF these accidents" are probably not
preventable. but 1t is also probably true

MINNETONKA IMPROVEMENTS

Some Interesting figures were presented
in this paper yesterday with regard to
public improvements in and around Lake
Minnetonka. The popular impression has
been that the lake dwellers were favored
at the expense of the taxpayers in other
parts of the county, and that money was
spent upon lake improvements beyond
the proportion Of fairness.
1t appears, however, that the lake and
lake region have not been getting a
proper share of the money spent for pub
lie improvements; that the extra rev.
enue COLLECTED in that locality by reason
Of the higher valuation placed upon lake
property is expended chiefly in other parts
Of the county. That Is clearly not a fair
deal and the facts developed by the
county surveyor may be expected to lead
to some changes in that particular.
And while lake improvements are under
consideration, isn't it., about time for
somebody to build4an electric line from
Minneapolis to Minnetonka? The steam
roads no doubt afford as good service
as they eau afford to provide, but the
conditionsaof travel between Minneapolis
and St. Paul by the steam roads are
repeating themselves in the direction oil

people travel between Minneapolis and
St. Paul now as in the days of the short
line trains. The increase in lake trave

proportion if AN electric line with fire..

The. sly dog in politics has had his
day. What people want nowadays is
men of convictions who have the ability
and the courage to stand for. them.
Look at Roosevelt and at La Toilette.
Both are examples nots so much of excep-
tional ability as they are instances OF
exceptional frankness and honesty in
politics. The people know just where to
find them. and they have the quality OF
candor: The representative who cannot
trust his constituents with KNOWLEDGE nj
what he stands for cannot expect them to
trust him very long with the power to
effectuate or nullify what they stand for

AMERICAN PUSH IN PERSIA.
Philadelphia Ledger

Our minister to Persia appears to be rep
resenting his country according to American
business ideas rather than those OF orien tai
luxury. Instead Of taking life easily in Te-
heran, merely attending perfunctorily to the
little diplomatic business we have with Per-
sia, he and his wife have been taking a
horseback ride Of thousand miles through
the heart of the Persian empire for the pur-
pose Of promoting American trade and COM
merce with the Persians, and the tour is
reported to have had excellent results. Mrs.
Griscom endured all the difficulties and dan
gers Of the trip with her husband, and the
two seem to be admirable representatives of
American progress in a country which needs
awakening as much as any in the world.

"Hypatia" succeeded admirably in portrayal
of fifth century life in Egypt, and he was
fortunate in taking such lovely historical
character as Hypatia, the beautiful prota gon-
list of paganism, who was torn to pieces in tho
city of Alexandria, by an alleged Christian
mob. MI. Davis in portraying Belshazzar and
his household has had the advantage of study
ing the rural paintings and sculptures which
depict every phase of an Assyrian monarch's
life habits and diversions and the degraded
condition Of woman.

OBJECT TO
SHINGLE
ROOFING
Lively Discussion Had At
Council Meeting
Fire Department To Be Con-
fined TO City Limits

The question OF granting permis-
sion for the placing Of shingle roofs
upon buildings within the fire limits
Of the city precipitated a lively dis
cussion at the regular meeting Of the
council Tuesday evening.
shlnge Roofs Not Wanted.
Application Of j. A. Simpson and
T.. S. Lamport for permission to place
shingle roof on their proposed liv-
cry stable, 10 be erected on High
street, west Of the Court house, was
discussed at length, and finally re-
ferred to the committee on streets and
public property with instructions to
report to the council at next regular
meeting.
The council was petitioned by
Messrs. Lamport and Simpson and %
other taxpayers to grant the applica-
ton, but the protest that had been
filed by the members of Chemeketa
Lodge, No. /, /. o. o. F., won out, and
the members of the council, after con
siderable discussion, refused to grant
the prayer OF the petitioners at this
time. John A. Carson appeared for
the petitioners, and addressed the
council, soliciting favorable action
Stolz moved that petition be granted
and, in order that the question might
be made debatable, Griswold second
ed the motion, and then the trouble
began. Griswold spoke in opposition
TO the petition, and said the materials
to be used in construction of roofs
within the fire limits was provided
for in an ordinance previously passed
by the council. He was opposed tC
the substitution Of combustible mater
ials for roof purposes in the business
district of the city. Burrows thought
petitioners were entitled TO some con
sideratlon, and Stolz gave his opinion
acquired from personal experience, e
the effect that properly treated shing
10 roofing was not as dangerous II
case of fire as was corrugated iron
Pohle and Walker were .non.commit
tai on the subject. Mr.. Carson agair
addressed the council upon the mat
ter under consideration, and spoke
rather warmly upon the apparent in
disposition OF that body TO take any
action at all on the petition that hat
been presented. After some further
discussion the matter was referred tC
the committee above indicated.
