How to SECURE Seat. for "een nur.

"Ben Hur' is to be again staged in
this vicinity. The enormous patron.
age extended Klaw & Erlanger's mag.
nifcent and massive production OF
Gen. Wallace's great play in St. Paul
and Minneapolis last season was so
highly satisfactory that Manager L
N. Scott succeeded in securing it tor
return engagements. Like last season
an entire week is to be DEVOTED to each
city. St. Paul is to be played the
week of December 18th with special
matinees on Wednesday, New Years
Day and Saturday at the MetropOli.
tan Theatre, and Minneapolis tho week
Of January 4vh with Wednesday and
Saturday matinees at the Metropolitan
Theatre.
Theatre-goers, as we'll as the gene.
raj public, will only have themselves
to blame If they do not secure desir.
able seats for this attraction, for it ia
q very easy matter to do SO The ad-
vance sale Of seats for St Paul starts
on Thursday morning, December "a,
at the Theatre Box Office, while the
Minneapolis sale will be opened on
Thursday, Dec 81. Those who intend
taxing IN tnls attractlOn should nle
their orders for seats prior to the
opening date of sac in each city.
This will give the theatre management
an opportunity to take excellent care
OF them. Orders for seats for each
city sh~ uld be addressed to the theatre
management, respectively. The scale
of prices in each city is exactly the
same as last season, the entire lower
floor being $500; balcony, first seven
rows $3.50; remainder of balcony,
81 90; while the gallery is reserved at
75c, unreserved admission SOC. Ma.
tinee prices are the same as night.
All railroads running into ST Paul
and Minneapolis will have special OK.
cursion rates on for this attraction.
1t will therefore be advisable for those
intending to witness "Ben Hur" to in.
quire of their local railroad agent for
train and rate information.

OUR JOURNEY TO CHINA

We started on our journey to China
on July Goth, 1903. We visited some
people in China who lived on a boat
on river. We stayed on the boat
and had lots Of fun. While we stayed
there boy foil into the river and We
had to fish him up, but q girl ell in
and we couldn't help her. In tie
evening we went on sho. to little
town to have some supper. We waited
until supper was ready but when we
came to eat it we couldn't because it
was made of rats and mice and we
could not stand that. We left that
place and walked up the street where
we knew q Chinaman who could speak
little English. He made US a good
supper Of beans and fish, rice and tea
When we walked on the street the
people thought US funny the same as
we thought them funny. We stayed
in China long time and saw many
things. There were five of us, our
teacher and our geography class.
We told the Chinese what we raise in
America. We told them how we raise
corr, wheat, oats, barley, fl *, and
many other things. They showed us
how they raise tea and gave us some
to take to America Berg,

CHRISTMAS TREES

There are many kinds of evergreen
trees and some people earn their liv.
ing just by raising them and selling
them for Christmas trees. They have
big Fl elds OF everereens and have them
planted in rows When those in one
row get big they chop them down and
sell them and then plant new trees
there again. When the next row is
big enough they take that. The chill

Petit Gallery is one of the mast interesting yet
given by the French Pastel Society, although its
1856 drawings do not. from technical point OF
view offer any new departure revelations.
Besnard exhibits nine female studies of remark
able brilhancy. which are fascinating notwith-
standing the vulgarty of some of his models
This artist is perhaps seen at his best in pastel
drawing, which seems to supply the most deli
cate medium for his exquisite color sense. To
any one who knows Besnards art the bare titles
OF his drawings will convey an adequate notion
of the subject. For instance The Great Fat
Woman'-a huge Rubenslike mountain of rose
coored flesh and transparent skin; Underneath
a Black Hat" The Pearl Necklace" The
Woman Caressng Flowers etc. These, with
couple of strongly drawn, highly tinted por-
traits, form panel that attracts visitors 10 the
Georges Petit Gallery just as the Latour draw
ings rivet the attention of tourists they pass
through the pastel section of the Louvre.
The note given by Besnard is followed by Gas
ton La TOuche and Guirand de Sccvoa in their
luminous red and blue drawings that capture
the eye like sudden outbursts of fireworks. In
deed an easygoing Partisan of the old school
after gazing at the radiant corner Illuminated
by these forid Iuxuriant drawings remarked:
Next time l come here I shall have to put on
smoked glasses" 1t is pleasant to turn from the
pyrotechnical color of Castor lie Touche and
Guirand de Sceyoa, and also from the haring
midday Mediterranean sunshines of MOntenard,
to the soft. misty transparencies of LIE Sidaner.
Ltandre and Rene Billotte. What more poetic
and suggestive than the view drawn by lie
Sidaner of the gray mOated medieval castle

which reflects delightfully."- upon the still water
of the moat? There is a soft and rather sad
picture of an old manor house in Normandy
