IN FANCY THEY ARE SEEN.

Clara Morris, who for years made
audiences weep by her great emotional
powers is about to suffer the humilia-
ton Of mortgage foreclosure on her
home. Miss Morris. or Mrs Harriet,
as she is known off the stage, is one
of that class of stage artists who -four
ished in the days gone by, and is one
of the few links that binds the past
with the present. During her career
as an actress she played many parts
and was successful in each one. Her
rise in her profession was due solely
to her ability and not to any infu-
ence, because she possessed none OF
that convenient article. In speaking
of Clara Morris, memory is searched
and others of her time are recalled.
In fancy the great actors of bygone
days are again seen as they appeared
upon the stage. There was Edwin
Booth, the melancholy man whose
Hamlet was not only artistic but was
finished piece of acting. Lawrence
Barrett, E. L. Davenport and Frank
Bangs in the seventies toured the
country in q great production of
Julius Caesar" Barrett tore things
to tatters as the lean and hungry
Cassius, Davenport was the noble
Brutus of whom Frank Bangs as
Marc Anthony declared in silvery
tones was "most honorable man. =

SCHOOL AFFAIRS
Spelling to Be Taught in the
High School.
Matter of Appointing a Truant Officer
Is Postponed Attendance Better
Than Last Year.

The school board meeting last night
was attended by all of the members
except Mr.. Hughes and Mrs. Smith.
In the absence of Secretary Sparrow,
who was unwell, superintendent
Uline acted as secretary. Capt Keysor
reported that the wood contractor
wants % cents cord extra for haul
ing to the West Mankato building, as
the price of wood has advanced since
he contracted to furnish wood, and
teamsters have put up the price %
cents load for hauling. There is a.
good supply of coal at each of the
buildings. about one-third of the
amount contracted for having been
delivered.
The floors of the Pleasant Grove and
Union buildings have been oiled.
Sixtytwo new seats have arrived for
the high school.
The board did not like the principle
of having to pay the wood contractor
more than the contract price, but
finally agreed to do so. as it was
thought to be better for the district
than to throw the contract over.
President Davis brought up the
matter of truancy officer by saying
that he had consulted with Mayor
Petersen about the matter and had
found him ready to cooperate with
the board in every possible way. The
mayor had said that if furnished list
of truaut children he would see that
the police looked after them. He was
willing to appoint the chief of police
truant officer if the board desired.
Mr.. Fletcher was afraid that the
board would get mixed up with the
parochial schools.
superintendent Uline stated, in
reply to question, that he had ex-
cused hundred children from attend
ing school this year because they are
obliged to work. he had excused from
fifty to hundred every year. The
| truant officer would have no control
over these.
President Davis explained the
truancy law, saying, that the officer
would work under the direction of the
board, first notifying the parents o.
children who are out Of school withou
excuses, and if the children do no
then go to school arresting them with
out warrants and taking them to thu
schools.
The matter was talked over witt
the result of acquainting the member
with the provisions of the law, ant
was then postponed until the mex
meeting, on motion of Mr.. Davies

CAUSE OF KENTUCKY FEUDs.
President of Beren College, in n Re-
cent Address, Says Educa-
tiOn Is Wanting.

DR.. w. G. Frost, president of Berea
college, in the mountains of Kentucky,
recently made the following remark at
the Chautauqua assembly at Buffalo, N.
Y, on the mountain feuds:
"The absence Of restraint" said he, 'Is
the sole cause of the feud. The noun
taineers of Appalachian America are the
descendants Of colonials, not to be con-
fused with poor whites. They are south
ernors who owned land. but not slaves,
and who were loyal to the flag in the
civil war.
"The feud area has greatly contracted
in recent times. Many killings caused
by whisky or sudden anger are classed
by newspapers with feud murders. Such
is not true.
"The case in Breathitt county is po-
litical one-an outbreak unusual and
not to be classed with ordinary feuds. As
the death of Hamilton was the occasion
of a great sermon by DR.. Knott, which
practically ended the duel in America.
so we may hope the storm of oppose
tion aroused by the death Of Marcum
may bring us nearer the end Of political
assassinations In Kentucky"
The cure for the feud. said DR.. Frost,
Is educational.

(The Only Woman Ever Initiated by
Lodge of Masons.)
A wss issued in 1875. 1t was highly
respectable lodge, including all the elite
of the county around Doneraile, and its
meetings were held often under the pres
idency of Lord Doneraile, at his resi-
dence.
1t happened that on such an occasion
the lodge was held in a room separated
from another by stud and brickwork.
The subject of this sketch being prob
ably giddy and thoughtless, determined
to crafty her curiosity. With pair of
scissors she removed a portion of
brick from the wall and placed herself
so as to command a full view of every.
thing which occurred in the next room.
In this position she witnessed the first
two degrees of Masonry, which was the
extent of the proceedings of the lodge
that night. From what she heard when
the members of the lodge were about to
separate, for the first time she felt trem-
blingly alive to the awkwardness and the
danger Of her situation, and began to
consider how she could retire without
observation.
She became nervous and agitated and
stumbled against and overthrow a chair.
The crash was loud, and the tyler of
the lodge, who was in the lobby, gave the
alarm, burst open the door, and with a
light in one hand and drawn sword in
the other, appeared to the now terrified
young woman. He was Immediately
Joined by the members of the lodge pres
ent. They, for the most part, were furi-
Gus at the transaction. She was placed
under guard of the tyler and a member,
in the room in which she had been found.
The members reassembled and deliber-
ated for two hours as to what was to be
done.
At length 1t was resolved to give the
young woman the option Of submitting to
the Masonic ordeal to the extent she had
witnessed it, or, II she refused, the men,
bers were again to consult. Miss st.
Leger, exhausted and terrified, yielded,
and was accordingly initiated. The 9th
er inmates of the house were in perfect
ignorance of the transaction.
In 1907 tradesman of Cork conceived
the idea of publishing prints of Hon. Mrs.
Aldworth, and carried his intention into
effect. The above is fac-simile Of the
only portrait that has been known to
have been made during her life. With
the prints he also published a memoir,

BOY BANKER TALKS.
Words of Wisdom Spoken by Man
of Few Years.
Carl n. Schultz, Called by Some New
Yorlx's "Boy Hank President" Is
Conservative and Takes
Maternal Advice.

Carl Rudolph Schultz. who has been
elected president of the Equitable Ma
tional bank, New YORK, at the age of %
years, and who is the youngest bank
president in the United States, holds the
same general ideas about the way to run
= bank as did George G. Williams, who,
at his death last May, was II years old,
and the oldest bank president in the
country.
"A banker should be very careful new
er to drift away from the sound princi-
pies of finance" said Mr. Schultz. "He
should avoid anything that savors OF
speculation and when even the shadow OF
q doubt arises as to the advisability Of
making a loan he should keep his funds
In his vaults. He cannot err too much
on the side of conservatism. Let the
bank be contented with a very small
profit rather than run the slightest risk.
He should never be a plunger."
President Williams, OF the Chemical
National bank, in an interview few
weeks prior to his death, said: THE
greatest problem the fnanclers of New
York city have to solve is to keep their
financial principles sound. They should
be so firmly anchored to them thatnoth-
ing could drag them away"
Although there was fifty years differ
snce between the oldest bank president
and the youngest. they looked on the
world Of finance with the same eyes. 1t
is Mr.. Schutz's aim to emulate Mr. Will
liams' highly honorable and successful
career and he will continue to make a
model of the older man, whom he calls
''the ideal bank president"

For IL isn't half so bad
While nights come again like last night.
And the oxeyed daisies bloom
In the meadow meath the hillside,
And breathe their faint perfume,
And memory walks with me
OF maid, and of a day,
That the yester-year held for me
I'll be happy on the way.
With a tousle-head to meet me,
And to trot home by my side,
l can laugh misfortunes from me,
Meet the morrows happy-eyed;
With her yellow curls uplifting
To each gentle vagrant breeze
Pshaw! I'd ike to live forever
When | get her on my knees!
Long rs there be those who love me
Life Will be well worth the while!
Long as baby hands reach to me,
Long as lips curve in a smile,
And are lifted up for kisses
Just so long I'll happy be!
Just so long will this old footstool
BE quite good enough for mel
