Q. Is this hair-brained scheme or can
prove the value of gun, management and

ment7
A. The United States Government Is
the best judge. The Forti6cations bill as
passed by Congress for the coming fiscal
year contains provisions for fifty Of these
guns and accessories, for $6oS,77o.
From the beginning of its tests in 1890
this gun has always made Worlds Record
for velocity and efficiency, upon which
facts the Government action was taken.
The British Government spends about
$50, 900 per year for guns, and about
100000 per year is spent on guns by
the various governments of the world
Probably a dozen or more guns are pur
chased abroad to one for America.
This is solid undertaking in a most
profitable line of manufacture and has the
entire world as its market.

resentatives who have mechanical knowL
edge and financial experience.

Q. What made Krupp the richest man

Q. What made Krupp the richest man
in Europe2
A. The manufacture of improved guns
brought him from moderate means to
fortune now estimated at 100000, 900.
Q. If any other gun maker could make
such large improvements over the present
system as Krupp made over the past,
would he also make scores or hundreds Of
millions2
A. Yes, if properly protected by patents
and with reasonable capital to establish
plant and fill orders, he should make larger
profits as the market Is now larger and
steadily growing.
Q. Is there any such invention now
perfected and proved7
A. Yes, the Brown Segmental Wire
Tube gun is, even greater improvement
over the present than the Krupp gun was
over the past systems Of construction.
Q. How can investors profit by this sys.

Though the general public is not
aware Of the fact. the work Of the Sis
tiers of the Good Shepherd IL much
wider and goes far beyond the mere
rescue of unfortunate women, impor-
tant as that work is. Almost every cit-
2zen in st. Paul knows in vague way
of their efforts to redeem those who
are anxious to reform, but few know
aught of the other and equally impor-
tant work they carry on In rescue
and preservation of those who, unless
taken from their vicious surroundings,
would almost inevitably, from their
very environment, drift into evil hab-
its and finally swell the criminal class.
So the work of the Sisters of the
Good Shepherd is divided broadly into,
first, the rescue of the innocent who
have never fallen, but who are so
placed as to be in danger; and second,
the redemption of those women who
are already on the broad path of sin
and destruction. Almost all sociologists
are agreed that the best hope of rails
ing the human race lies in the children,
and that the old adage that asserts
that an ounce of prevention, better
than a pound of cure, is never so true
as when applied to the effort of i'm
proving the great human family.
Placed in Three Categories.
Thus it will be seen that the work of
the Sisters Of the Good Shepherd in
rescuing those who might later come
to them through the reformatory, is
fully, If not more important, as that
they have undertaken for the redemp-
ton of those already living in sin.
All those who enter the House of the
Good Shepherd in ST. Paul are placed
in one Of three categories, the peni-
tents, the reformatory girls and the in
noCent children who are being educated
and brought up here. These latter are
sometimes the children of parents who
are dissolute, who have deserted them,
or of widows, or deserted wives, or
sickly parents who are unable to main
tain them. For this class the sisters
conduct a school and the children learn
not only the ordinary branches of
school work, but to make their own
clothing and do that fine sewing and
dainty work for which this order is
celebrated.
The institution is an imposing red
brick building on raising ground max
ing 1T noticeable from a long distance
on account of it's elevation. 1t is set
in the midst of ten acres of ground on
Blair street between Milton and Vic
toria. over the main entrance cut in
stone are the words ct am the Good
Shepherd" and to the right is the cor
nerstOne bearing the date of the cree
ton of this structure.
All that the outer world usually sees
Of the inside of the building is a broad
entrance, a wide hall and a parlor, in
one end of which is a grill or wooden
lattice with a small opening about a
foot square.
Inside those doors, that ordinarily
open only to admit or dismiss the in
mates, and just behind their wide por-

Litany Is Ever Present.
The floor is handsomely inlaid with
woods, with a conventional pattern
running round the edge. All this was

1t has high arched ceiling, and upon
the sides of the arches are painted the
sentences of the litany. Opening off
each side are various study halls and
reception rooms and a dining room
for the chaplain.
All the house is so divided that the
reformatory girls, and the innocent
chlIoren, and those reformed women
who have taken the vows of religion
ana entered the Magdalen order never
meet. Even in the chapel the innocent
ana the reformed never come in con-
tact And this is a good and wise nro-
