LIVE STOCK SALE PLAN
The Minnesota Breeders Association
Will Try the Experiment-First
Sale Next Tuesday.

Little has been attempted in live stock
sales in the twin cities in the past. Some
auction sales of horses have been held
occasionally at the Minnesota Transfer
but no attempt has ever been made to
hold pure-b bred sales of live stock of q
combination order except those held at the
three most recent state fairs. This, at
least, is true since 1885, if not indeed for a
longer period.
That such sales Of pure-bred stock
would be Of immense value to the state
cannot for a moment be doubted. These
sales not only create a deep interest in
regard to valuable live stock by the pub
licity which Is given to them, but they
also facilitate the purchase and disper-
sion Of the same in a marked degree. The
great want Of the agriculture of the
northwest at the present time is not for
more but for better stock. Any move
ment, therefore, that is likely to facilitate
the dispersion of the same is we'll worthy
Of the support Of every one interested in
the prosperity Of Minnesota.
The Minnesota Live Stock Breeders
association has determined to inaugurate
such sales. The first one will take place
on the state fair grounds at 1 p. m. next
Tuesday. Sixty splendid Short Horns
will be sold. These have been bred by
many Of the best breeders in the state.
The Great Northern, Northern Pa
ctfc and 500 railroads are giving reduced
rates to those who attend the sale and it
Is expected that other railroads coming
into Minneapolis will do likewise. A
warm luncheon will be provided on the
state fair grounds at noon on the day of
the sale. 1t Is hoped that this sale will
prove a great success. In such an event
it will be followed by other sales from
time to time, which will comprise various
breeds Of pure bred live stock. The state
fair grounds can be reached by the Como
Harriet cars from either city.

A DULL DAY AT SMEDES
The Town. Is Dismal Beyond De-
scription-0ne Lean Bear
Yesterday.

Smedes, Miss, Nov. 15.-Although no
direct messenger had arrived from the
camp on the Little Sunfiower at o'clock
this morning, word drifted back during
the night in the mysterious fashion pc
culiar to the transmission of informa ton
through negro channels in the south, that
the president reached camp shortly after
dark last night, after his days hunt, but
with it came no word of the result of the
chase after a second bear.& Rain drizzled
at intervals during the night and this
morning curtains of gray mist descended
from the low, leaden sky. Smedes was
dismal beyond description. 1t was simply
cotton field covered and shut in by the
walls Of a circus tent of mist and bisected
by railroad track. The presidential
train and the box car telegraph office on
the siding, the plantation store and a
single whitewashed negro cabin in the
center Of the expanse of cotton, comprised
a complete inventory of the view of the
sign board labeled "Smedes.'
A downpour was expected at any min
ute. Notwithstanding the threatening
weather, it was assumed here that the
presidential party was off at daybreak.

the Little Sunf1ower, but to the regret
of all the members of the party the first
trophy Of the hunt did not fall to the
presidents Winchester.
The poor beast was cha sed until it was
too exhausted to make much of a fight,
but he grabbed one of the hounds by the
neck, killing it instantly.
AS the bear was making a swipe with
his paw. at another dog, Holt Collier
jumped from his horse, and, clutching his
rifle. knocked the bear over with blow
on the head. Then he blew his horn in
token that the chase had been brought to
bay. A messenger was sent back for the
president Meanwhile Holt roped the bear
and tied him to tree.
When the president arrived he would
neither shoot it nor permit it to be shot

HAMLET" AS A STUDY
Marshall Darrach's Final RecitaI-Some-
thing About the Great Poetic
Conceptjon,

In 'damlet,' which Marshall Darrach
recites next Monday evening, to conclude
the series of Shakspere recitals given by
Stanley Hail. is presented a picture of the
human mind-"a life laid bare" Hamlet,
though apart from his fellows, has in
him an underlined something which rep
resents them all.
Victor Hugo. in speaking Of the sin
gular reality which characterizes poetical
creations instances Hamlet. He says this
character is not an abstraction. He has
been at the university; he has the Danish
savageness softened by the Italian po-
likeness; he is short, plump, somewhat
lymphatic; he fences well, but is soon out
of breath. He does not care to drink too
soon during the fencing bout with Laertes
probably for fear of sweating.
No figure among those poets have Gre
ated, is more poignant and more disquiet-
ing. Doubt counseled by ghost-such
is Hamlet! Hamlet has seen his dead
father. has spoken to him. Is he con-
WINGED? No; he shakes his head. What
shall he do? He does not know. His
hands clench, then fall by his side. With
In him are bloody recollections, venera-
ton for the ghost, hate, tenderness. anx-
tety to act and not to act; his father,
his mother, conflicting duties-a profound
storm. His mind Is occupied with ghast-
ly hesitation. Nevertheless, at least one
half Of Hamlet Is anger, transport, out
rage, hurricane, sarcasm to Ophelia, male
dictiOn on his mother, insult to himself
sword thrusts at Polonius, sword thrusts
at Laertes, sword thrusts at Claudius
One might almost consider his brain
as a formation: There is a layer of suf-
fering, layer of thought, then a layer
of dream. Hamlet is not upon the spot
where his life is. Indec1sion is, in fact,
q solitude; you have not even your will
to keep you company. And thus, apart
from men, Hamlet has still an underlined
something which represents them ALL
Unhealthy as he Is, Hamlet expresses
permanent condition Of man. He repre-
sents the discomfort Of the soul in a life
unsuited to it. He represents the shoe
that pinches and stops our walking: this
shoe is the body. 'r ST..

.SNAG FOR BABCOCK
Congressman Cooper Not Ready to
1ndorse Him or Anyone Else
at Present.
Wisconsin Delegation Not as Solid
as It Might Be for Its
Home Man.
Special to The Journal

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Wis, Nov 15.-If Repre-
sentative H. A. Cooper, of the first dis
tr1ct Is not opposed to j. w. Babcock' S
candidacy for the speakership and in
favor OF some one else, it can be truth
fully said that he is at least opposed to
action OF any kind on the part of the
wisconsin delegation at this time; there
fore, should he follow out the course in
d1cated In an interview to-day, the dele
cation will not be unanimously in favor
OF Babcock or any one else, and may take
no action on the question of getting to-
sether. Cooper says he is opposed to
taking any action at this time and be-
lieves there is something to be consid-
cred besides state pride. This argument
having been used with him by the friends
OF Babcock who are very anxious to have
the delegation support him in a body, Mr..
Cooper said:
Il don't want anything I have said
about the speakership to be construed
as antaeonistic to Mr.. Babcock or his
candidacy. l have said that I thought it
best to walt, expressing that opinion be-
fore 1t was 1ntimated that Mr.. Babcock
would be candidate. I believe that in
a matter of such tremendous Importance.
the only thing for us to do is to wait till
we get to Washington, and see the con-
dlttons that obtain with the organization
Of the new house. Several members from
other states, who have written to me, are
Of the same opinion.
Under the present system, the speak,
ership of the house is the most important
office in the world. This being true, the
duty Of the legislator is not to those
within the confines of his own state. His
power is as potent in Maine, in the Phil
tppines, or in Alaska, as it Is in Wiscon-
sin.
Choosing speaker is not like elect
ing a pathmaster for a small country viii
lage. His power is almost appalling. And
for this reason I want some day to have
chance to get those rules, which the
czarlike power of the speaker, amended,
so that such a condition shall not exist.
1t Is absolutely un-American.
Il am not saying anything for or against
any candidate who has thus far been pre-
scented, but do say that hasty action on
the part of our legislators will be I'M
pardonable."
Thus it Is apparent that the Wisconsin
delegation is not solidly in favor Of the
election of Babcock. It is believed that
all of the members will be present at the
meeting called at the Hotel Pfister club
room, except Representative Brown, who
said a few days ago that he would be
unable to be on hand, but that he would
stand with the majority in whatever &C
ton was taken. Cooper, it is said by
those who have talked with him, is de-
termined to refuse to commit himself in
the matter. Babcock's intimate friends
on the ground here for several days said
they expected him to have the Wisconsin
congressman behind him solidly.
