Mr.. Maklei came to Minneapolis on

A MEMORIAL TABLET TO JOHN S. HAF

A bronze memorial tablet to John
8. Harris will be shown at the meet
ing of the Minnesota horticultural
society in December, 1t will be
placed by the society in the horti-
cultural building of the state agricul-
tural school as it's tribute to the value
of Mr.. Harris labors in behalf of
horticulture. Mr.. Harris was a pio-
neer in horticultural experiments and
his death in 1901 was a heavy loss to
the society.
The tablet was modelled by Mrs.
George j, Baekus and is a very salts
factory piece of work altho done un-
der difficult circumstances. 1t shows
portrait of Mr.. Harris sitting, ex-
ecuted in high relief. In one hand
he holds an apple-without which he
would scarcely seem natural to his
friends--and he is writing it's de-
scription. AS Mrs. Backus only guide
for the likeness was a very poor
photograph, her success in securing
a result that is as satisfactory as a
likeness as it is artistic, is very graft
flying. The committee is pleased that
it's ideas should have been so COM
pletely embodied by local sculptor,
The figure is framed in a border of
simple conventionalized grape vine
and underneath is a suitable inscrip-
ton
Mrs. Backus did this latest work in
her new studio in a barn on Ninth
avenue Sc. This has been fitted up
with every facility for her work and
is attractive as it is reomy and con-
Venlent for the sculptor's work, which
Includes more of mechanics than some
other of the fine arts. In the studio
are casts of most of Mrs. Backus'
principal works and her studio is one
of the handsomest in the city.
Altho Mrs. Backus divides her time
and interest between her family and
her art, she is a most serious and am
bilious artist, whose development is
interesting and noteworthy. This tab
let is the first of her work that has
been cast in bronze and she has taken
special interest and pride in it. The
casting is a careful piece of work done
by the American Bronze Foundry
company of Chicago.

EVERYTHING
Depends on Food.

How often the kind of food eaten
determines a question of future health
and happiness or even life or death
"Our little girl when but five weeks
old had to undergo a very severe
operation which left her unable to take
her nourishment in the natural way,
that is by nursing, and of course, she
had to be fed. She was naturally frail
and the food did not help her. At the
age of eleven weeks she was subject
to a second operation and from that
time she continued to grow thinner
and weaker until she was but a mere
shadow" so writes lady of Ohio.
I'VE tried many kinds of infant
foods and then the doctor directed US
to try Grape-Nuts.. We did so, and
at the end Of the first week noticed an
Improvement, and after that she be-
gan to improve rapidly. AS we con-
tinued to give her Grape-Nuts she
kept gaining until she is now more
than two years old and strong and
healthy. Her main food has always
been Grape Nuts. and to Grape-Nuts
she owes her life. Naturally we are
firm friends of the food and never
lose an opportunity to speak a good
word for it." Name given by Postum

FOUR HIGH GLASS ARTISTS
Jenny Osborn, the Leader Of Very
Strong Organization Bearing
Her Name.

No one will dispute the fact, that
OF the four members who form the
Jenny Osborn Concert company Miss
Jenny Osborn is the artist in whom
the public is particularly interested.
This accounts for the fact that Min
neapolis will hear her twice this sea-
son; once in the opening entertain
ment of the Young Mems Christian
associations popular course, Tuesday
evening, Nov. 10; and again in the
Fhilharmo nic clubs Christmas pro-
duction Of The Messiah.
With her are associated Frank
Hannah, the we'll known tenor; Marie
Iosefa, the young violinist who is fast
winning fame, and w. c. q. Seeboeek,
than whom few American pianists are
better known.
Miss Osborn is claimed by Chicago.
Paris would fam adopt her. Figare's
comment translated reads: "One of
the most SUI, <ssful among American
singers who nave visited us is Miss
Jenny Osborn, from Chicago. She
made her Paris debut at a musicale
given by the Countess de Eoetlogon;
associated with Mr.. Zeldenrust, the
pianist, Mr.. Black from London, and
NJ. MERCER Of the Opera, Comique.
She achieved an enormous triumph
and was Immediately engaged for
the Countess de Trobriand's palatial
| home. where only the most renowned
artists appear"
Then the Chicago Inter Ocean, ia

Treasury Department, Washington,
Aug. z, 1903.-My Dear Mr.. President:
| am in receipt of letter from Senator
Hanna inviting me to take part in the
Ohio campaign now about to begin
If agreeable to you 1 should like to &C
cept. 1 am also invited to make a
few talks in Kentucky, and a few
other states, and with your consent
would like to spend the last week or so
of the campaign in my own state. 1t
now appears the battlefield this year
Will be in Ohio, and if your political
opponents elect to make their full
showing in that state, I see no reason
why your friends should not act like
wise. If politics were simply for the
filling and emoluments of office 1 would
not join therein and would now elect
to remain silent, but. as principles
which we believe to be of the greatest
Importance to the country are being
aSsailed, l look upon the invitation as
being a call to duty
United States senators represent
Tar more than the particular states to
which, they are accredited and in
great sensesthe people of Iowa are as
much interested as the people of Ohio
that wise, patriotic statesman like
Mr.. Hanna be returned to the senate.
Thls, to my mind, is another and suffi-
Client reason for my request for your
permission to tender my services.
With kindest wishes, am yours sin
cerely, Leslie M. Shaw"
Oyster Bay, L. L, Aug. 21-LesIie
M. Shaw-Dear Sir: L am glad you
are going to Ohio and agree in all you
say. The triumph of the principles for
which Mr.. Hanna stands in the present
campaign and his return othe senate
are things that concern not merely
Ohio, but our country at large, and /
congratulate you upon having your
chance to do what you can not only to
secure the triumph of our party, but
the triumphant victory of Mr. Hanna
and the principles he represents Yours
sincerely. Theodore Roosevelt"
