YOUNG MAN COME WEST.

Old Horace of yore,
Who has gone on before,
To the land where good editors rest,
Did a wise thing
When he printed one spring
His advice of Young man, go West"
IT'S play work, not toll,
To tickle the soil
And harvest great crops OF NO. hard,
And gather up wealth
In a land of health
Concerning which We speak by the card.
The rich prairie sod
Is a gift from God;
For the cold we care not an iota;
The land is all good,
1t raises the food,
All over the state of Minnesota.
Minnesota is destined to play con-
spicuous part in the future commercial
history of the heart of the continent.
Her territory is extensive, and her Ia
tent resources are unnumbered. She
is great in agricultural resources and
her manufacturing possibilities rise up
in splendid proportions. She has a
long stretch of coast and ample har-
bors on the earth's greatest fresh wa
ter sea and through it connects with
the Atlantic. The largest and longest
river of the continent rises within her
borders and runs away to the ocean.
To the north courses another stream,
giving her a third outlet to the ocean
and the world, the only state so situat-
ed.
She has grand forests of timber and
mountains of iron. She has natural
water powers to fashion these re-
sources into shapes for human use.
Brain and muscle, hand in hand, have
already seized upon these natural re-
sources and it is only a question of
time when they will be welded and
moulded into factors that serve civ
iliZation. and also enhance the property
of the state, as they are not doing by
the shipment of the raw material to
distant centerS. When by develop
ment her manufacturing interests APP
proximate her agricultural advan-
tages and growth, she will enter upon
commercial era that will make her
one of the richest and most important
states in this grand Union of ours.
Her resources are builded upon a
splendid scale. Nature with herculean
power and in unstinted measure forged
out her illimitable resources and
planted them deep in the soil of val

The Dnke and the Barber.

In olden days an English noble en-
tered n barber shop, and upon inquir-
ing for the master was answered by
an apprentice of fourteen that he was
not at home. DO you shave, then?'
asked the Duke. Yes. sir, 1 always
do was the reply. But can you
shave without cutting?" Yes, sir; I'll
try" answered the youth. Very

himself and loading his pistol; but

as L sit here I'll blow your brains out!
Now, consider well before you begin"
After Il moments reflection the boy
began to make ready and said, "Fm
not afraid of cutting you. SIR and in
a short time had completed the feat
without a scratch, to the complete
satisfaction of the Duke. In gentle
tones his grace asked: Were you not
afraid of having your brains blown out
when you might have cut me so
easily?"

that as soon as l should happen to let

Bird Song ON the Wing.

1.-THE songs of all birds gain in beau
ty when they are uttered on the wing"
says Henry Oldys in Lippincott's Mag
azine "'rhey seem to be delivered with
more abandon and greater volume. The
water-thrush's first cousin, the oven
bird, furnishes Il striking example of
this. His ordinary song consists of Il
repetition of the same note hammered
out with a constant crescendo. Very
effective it is. too. as II part of the
general music of the forest though
lacking individual attractiveness on
account of the monotony of its reiter-
alton. But when the bird rises above
the treetops and descends after the
fashion of the indigo bird to an accom-
pnniment of scattered notes. he takes
far higher rank as performer. Not

Not II Good LOCKER.

From the mountains of Camden, Me,
comes n story of Il Philadelphia mer-
chant who has summer cottage in
that village. and who wished to ex-
change lively horse which he owned
with French Canadian who had Il
more gentle animal, which women and
children could drive. The Frenchman
was willing to trade, but for some
reason insisted upon repeating to the
visitor that the local horse did not
look" as well as the one belonging to
the Philadelphia man.
An exchange satisfactory to both
parties was eventually made, and the
first time the visitors wife took the
new horse out for a drive she discov-
cred that the beast was as blind as n
mole. A few days later, when the
rusticator met the Frenchman, he
said:
"See here. you rascal. that horse you
snapped with me for mine was stone
blind. Why didn't you tell me of it
at the time?"

JOURNALISM As A cAsggR.
Views of whiteIaw Reid, Editor OF the
New York Tribune.


New York Tribune.
There has never been time. think,
in the history of colleges in this coun-
try. said Whitelaw Reid in an address
before the students of the Stanford
University, when so many of their
students were looking toward the pos
sibility of newspaper career. There
is n feeling on the one hand that tina
professions are Qvercrowded: and OF
the other. that the newer fields TO
which applied science and business
beckon offer mt the outset slower ad-
vances and less attractive experiences.
The idea of being brought into con-
tact with all forms of public life, of
seeing great transactions and watch
ing the actors in them, of writing from
day to day the history of Il marvellous
age-all this naturally fascinates the
ardent and aspiring mind.
1t is true. too, that the young man
of good qualifications gets quicker re-
turns in newspaper work than else
where. If he studies law. three or
four years or more must be taken out
of his life after his graduation before
he can enter upon his vocation; and
then he has the cheerful prospect of
starva ton for as many more before
clients begin to find him out.
4 similar delay confronts the medi-
cal student, and patients often display
a like backwardness about coming for
ward to the young doctors office. But
the college graduate who once gets II
chance assignment on Il busy day, in
city editors book. may find himself
with as many more as he cares for
within n fortnight, and may presently
secure modest salary that with
health and industry at once puts him
beyond want.
Then there are fascinations in the
sense of influence, in the power to
reach the public attention or shape
public opinion. even in the facility for
coming in contact with important men
and getting somewhat behind the
scenes in transactions that interest the
whole community.
The notion is spreading. too, that
newspaper is beginning here. as long
since in France, to take the old place
of the lawyers office as a path to en-
try on public service. The very name
by which (for want of better foreign
newspaper writer's have taken to
designating themselves, ''Publicists,'
seems to many to hint at a more at
tractive pursuit than defending a
rogue or prescribing pills and potions.

No Use For Doctors.

Major James a. Macklin, who is in
cruiting station. is not a firm believer
in doctors. He has an idea that he
knows what he needs better than a
physician, so he usually does his own
doctoring. \ few years ago the major
was stationed with his regiment in
Arizona and ordered to take Il large
detachment of men on a 200-mile
march. The evening before he left ON
this long march the colonel of the regi-
ment came to him in an apologetic way
and remarked, I'm sorry, Macklin,
but haven't got doctor to send with
you" ''Oh. don't let that bother you,
colonel" remarked the major cheer
fully. I'm really glad you haven't
got one to spare. He'd be in the way.
Give me an ambulance and that's all
I'll ask" The ambulance was ready
next morning when the troops left.
WED only been out an hour" said
Macklin, in telling the story, when n
young soldier came to me with the
complaint that he had some stomach
trouble. 1 chucked him into the ambu-
lance, prescribed a remedy of my own

a grave Parliamentary commission
has reported that the average English
man is shrinking-in size, not in de-
meanor. He is shorter, thinner, light
err, weaker than he was thirty years
ago. There can be little doubt of the
causes-the depopulation of the coun-
try, the rush to town, the decay of
agriculture, the increase of shop and
factory life. 1t is well to remember
that these causes will produce in Amer
lea the same effects unless counter

A writer in Electricity says it has
been discovered that the aging of a VIC
lin can be artifcially secured by eX-
posing the wood to Xrays. The beau
tiful tone which has heretofore result
ed from natural aging of the wood
for fifty or sixty years can thus be OBJ
tanned in a single day. If this be true,

to Bob PEBBLES house to decide the
matter.
Bob set his cat in one corner, and
Tom placed his in another, and they
drew cuts to see which should stir his
feline up first. that being the manner
in which Bob had been accustomed to
make his pussy whistle. Well. Tom

The look on Bob's face when his cat

adulation of the masses. and she real
lied that her effort had not been
crowned with success. She tried again.

shed tears when she heard the result.
After the faithful creatures second

The Cathedral of st. John the Divine.
which is in course of construction on
Morningside Heights, New York City,
is making gradual progress towards
completion. One of the most difficult
problems the contractors have to deal
with has been the moving of the i'm
mense pillars for the interior of the
cathedral up the hill on which the build
ing stands. The pillars are in four
sections, weighing from forty to ninety
tons each. AS it was found that at
least thirty horses would be required
to move them, it was decided to use
steam. With the aid of steel cable
and a traction engine a huge truck
bearing the columns was hauled to the
top of the hill. Several days were

The peculiar California law which
seeks to secure the reversion to the
State of bequests made by residents to

likely to be well tested il the case of
the will of the late DIR. Charles Ken

the University of Wisconsin, of which
he was once President, to found fifteen

claims under the law referred to, but
DIR. Adams executors will dispute the
claim up to the court of last resort. If
the law is declared constitutional it
will be California's duty and interest
