LITTLE LITERARY SIDE ISSUES.

Monsieur Bouet could use satire with out offense-and was often equal to amus- ing situations; from which he emerged without a sense of ill-humor from any one. The following Is an instance. Be- ing present at luncheon with the repre- sentatives of the different nationalities- England, Scotland, Ireland and French Canada; he was called upon to give a private opinion of these races: 'The Scotchman," he said, and he clenched his right hand tightly, and pretended in vain to force 1t open with his left.
 "The Englishman," and he went through the same performance. at the end opening the hand with an apparent struggle.
 "The Irishman," here he held his hand wide open. with the palm upward.
 "The Frenchman. He made a motion with both hands, as if he were emptying them on the table.
 Wagner, the musician, was also the poet. He was keenly humorous as well. Many a little story has been told of his ready wit, and the one which is related about his sons peculiarity with his baton is suggestive. When it was remarked to him, Your son conducts with his baton in his left hand'' Yes" he said, sad ly, T can hear it."
 What a pathetic side issue that is of Stephenson's which is given in the Youths Companion of Sept. 3. Stephenson was first lawyer, and his mother kept, with others, a portrait of her son in his legal wig and gown. She told him she should call the series From Baby to Bar" and also that she intended to start one From Bar to Baronet" No, moth- er,'' replied Stephenson. all too prophet ically, Not from Bar to Baronet," but From Bar to Burial"
 Mir Stephenson's biographer, Graham Balfour, has been a devoted student of the literature of France, Germany and England. He has given more attention to this study, than to the law. which is his profession. After most devoted ad- miration for Stephenson's writing he en- els led him.
 As an instance as to what companion ship will do. Dallas Love Sharp, relates that his close relationship with Professor Jenks. the naturalist, has given his thoughts the trend. that has caused him to write, Wild Life Near Home" But we suspect that much of his love for the woods was induced by his Quaker moth CTS devotion to nature.

Owatonna, Mimi, Oct. 16.-The an
nual convention of the Minnesota
State Public Library association opened
last evening. The public library had
been prettily decorated for the occa-
sion and presented a very attractive
appearance.
L., L. Wheelock delivered an address
of welcome. He dwelt on the benefits
Of public library. It not only ele-
Yates the citizens, he said, but the
community at large. It is an educa-'
tional force.
An address was made by Warren
Upham, librarian Of the State Histor-
teal society, on THE History and Lit
,erature of Minnesota in the Library
Of the Minnesota Historical Society,""
He said in part:
In it's great work for the people of our
state the Minnesota Historical society
aims to gather into Its library whatever
is published concerning our state history
and also all publications of Minnesota au-
thors. The scope Of this library is not re-
stricted to Minnesota history, but COM
prises also very fully the history of each
Of the other states of the Union, Canada,
Mexico and all our American continent,
north and south, and also, tho with less
fullness, all countries of Europe and Of
! every part Of the world.
But line Is drawn against certain
classes Of publications which form large
part Of our city and town libraries, as
also of all colleges and university libraries,
namely, novels, poetry, the drama, art,
ethics, including the whole range Of fic-
ton and imagination, and literary essays
and criticisms, except so far AS these
great fields Of literature become subjects
Of history. --,.. .. .. ~.
Novels and poetry, essays and sermons,
school textbooks and everything literary
that Minnesota people publish are sought
and treasured on shelves assigned in this
library for the preservation Of our state
literature. -.

terested in library work are in attend
ance to-day, and the following tech

clay, who has been one Of thes prin-
cipal leaders in the agitation for
closer relations between France and
England, out Of which has grown in
part the Anglo-French arbitration
treaty which has just been completed,
is now in this city. He declares that
treaty as, negotiated one Of the great
est international events in history.
TT must not be judged, ~ he said,
by the extent Of its provisions. It
must be viewed as an expression Of
the desire of the sgoyernme nts Of the
two countries to carry out the dis
tinctly expressed wishes Of the two
nations to do something toward re-
moving insignificant differences from
exposure to liability of becoming in
famed into national questions.
! In regard to American affairs he
said "A number of Americans think
the present time propitous to try to
revive interest in the abortiye Anglo
American treaty of 1897, and in
France there is a strong desire to act
on a resolution passed some time ago
by the chamber of deputies in favor
