DR.. Boyle voiced his approval of the

said that too few Americans knew the
songs of their own country ''Why, at
our banquet last week, where there
were zoe men present, we wanted to
sing the Battle Hymn of the Repub-

without finding any who knew the

Some Of the nature songs on Dr.
Boyle's approved list were killarney

Rose" "The Slumber Song" the
Spring Song" and I'm May" by Schu-
mann.
There were also folk songs, among
them being "Old Black joe "Suwanes
River "Gwine Back to Dixie "The
Harp That Once Through Tara's S
Halls" and "Massa's in the Cold, Cold

In regard to songs of love and friend
ship, he said that he would consider
anything that is proper in conversation
to be proper in song; but that which
may not be talked about with propri-

no Christian" said he, has any right

counter when they're dead;
An the smell O. burnin' sulphur thew
could sniff with every wrong
They did IN days gone by. of late aim t
nowhere near so strong.
I don't know why it is, but folks have got
kind O. craze
To treat religion different than they did
In former days.
The good OF Bible doctrine that our faith
ers loved, somehow
Is losln the respect O. lots O. so-called
Christians now;
They'll worship .9'iE any kind o creed or faith
AS long as it is doctrine they can live the

TRIES A new PLAN LIVES PUT IN PERIL
Owatonna Public Library Open
to Whole County.

The Owatonna public library has re-
Gently adopted new plan, which has
the approval of the state library COM
mission, by which the privileges of the
library will be extended to all the resi-
dents of the county. In return for this
privilege, the county commissioners
have agreed to pay the sum Of $25 a
month into the treasury Of the library.
The question of extending library
privileges to the country communities
Is one which is only partly solved by
the state travelling libraries, and this
the promoters believe is a step in the
right direction. Many of the public
libraries of the state have been free to
the residents of the outlying districts,
but no special effort could be made to
advertise the library throughout the
surrounding country. If definite ap-
preparation is made by the county, then
all the taxpayers in the county have
direct interest in the library The
Owatonna library is making definite
plans for advertising throughout the
county, and the new measure will go
into effect the 1st of January. It will
probably cooperate with the state IL
brary commission in locating travelling
libraries at various points, to be un-
der the supervision of the Owatonna
librarian.
There are perhaps twenty or twenty
five counties in the state where there
Is but one public library Of Importance,
and this is located at the county seat,
which is usually also the chief busi-
ness center for the county. The in
creased appropriation enables the Ii
brary to extend its usefulness, and the
tax upon the residents of the surround
ing country is not burdensome in pro-
portion to the benefits received.

END OF CENTENNIAL
Burst of Patriotism Winds Up
Louisiana Celebration.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 2O.-Un-
der the sunniest of skies today the
Stars and Stripes rose to the top of
the tall staff in the historic Place
dArmes, amid cheers, the ringing of
cathedral bells and the roar of cannon
and the centennial celebration Of the
Louisiana transfer ended in a burst of
patriotism.
The days exercises opened with the
pontifical mass in the old st. Louis
cathedral, built while the Spaniards
were still in possession of Louisiana,
the shrine to which Andrew Jackson
went Immediately after the battle Of
New Orleans to hear the high mass
OF Thanksgiving sung for the victory
of the American army. Festooned in
the great nave were the flags of the
three celebrating nations, ,Epain, France
and the United States. The immense
auditorium was crowded with a rep
reSentative congregation. Archbishop
Chappelle officiated in the celebration
or mass. The regular choir of the ca
thedral was supplemented with the
principal artists of the French Opera
company and full orchestra.
Rev. Father de Lamoriniere, the
Jesuit orator, preached an eloquent
sermon, and Archbishop Chappelle
spoke briefly from the altar upon the
great significance of the occasion.
Following the mass the treaty of ces-
|. sion, the powers of the commissioners
and the declaration of Dausaut plac-
Ing the American commissioners in
possession were read in turn at the
Cabildo. Then. the keys of the city were
delivered and the proclamation of the
American governor was read. The
ceremonies completed, at a signal the
flag rose to the high staff in jackson
square, while the Washington artillery
thundered salute. In the river with
in view were the six American and
French warships.
The Spanish cruiser Dio de la Plata
was delayed by bad weather. She was
given welcome when she reached the
city just as the Cabildo exercises were
concluded. One of the features of the
celebration held the popular interest in
the Spanish representation. Senor
Tuero Odonnell has been the recip-
lent Of unusual attention.

MABEL PARKER TIRES
OF DULL PRISON LIFE
Plays Tricks On Keepers and Works On
New Literary Venture.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20-Prison life is
becoming irksome to Mabel Parker, and
she is no longer the quiet young woman
she was before her trial The matron
says Mabel acts like spoiled child She
refuses to obey prison rules, and, as she
is an unconvicted prisoner, stringent
measures cannot be used to make her
mind. The matron and her assistants
are at their wits end keeping the little
wounded dove" from entirely upsetting
discipline in the female ward. Her incorrigi-
bility consists chiefly in playing jokes on
her keepers and amusing herself generally
at their expense. When Mabel Parker
was seen today in her cell she was in the
midst of a new literary venture which she
hopes will bring about her release from
prison. 1.-The Forger Queen is the title
of new melodrama which Mabel Parker
Is now writing In speaking of this new
production, which will be completed in a
short time Mrs. Parker said:
Il think the idea is good one, don't
you? feel confident that some enterpris-
ing theatrical manager will hear of my
new play and put it before the public
It's going to be a dandy one of the real
live, sensational kind, you know. The
Mabel Parker of the play will be a real
forger queen, just like Bill Peabody has
tried to make me out She will be bold,
and bad, and cunning and clever"

Text of RELIGIOUS fRIIt Published.

PARIS, Dec. 21-The text of the bill
of Premier Combes for the suppression
OF teaching by the religious orders and
of ministers Dec. 10, is published this
morning.
The Introductory clause dwells on the
1nsufhciency of the teaching in religious
schools and also the dangerous tendencies
iinculcated, adding that ON this point there
is no difference between authorized and
unauthorized congregations. The bill pro-
vides that teaching congregations may be
legally dissolved by mere notification to
them to close their schools. Should they
refuse to obey such notice their property
is to be sequestrated. In. the case of the
teaching congregations which also con-
duct hospitals for the INDECENT, the prop
erty connected with their schools will not
be confiscated, but must be used only in
connection with the hospitals.

An extraordinary phase in the present
revision is the evident system with which
1t has been. brought about: There is no
denying the factthat an enormous amount
of money has again been spent in press
campaign, and this time the French peo-
pie cannot claim that 1t is the foreign
ers- "strangers''-who have been instru-
mental in the demand for another revision.
The career of the Aurore is the best
barometer. indicating the method in the
rise and fall and subsequent rise Of the
revision idea.5 The Aurore. under Georges
S4emenceau, was founded to serve the
Dreyfus case. After the condemnation it
went into bankruptcy-tettered. almost
suspended, was deserted by Zola and

Auto Dashes Among Children
Who Are Coasting.

The lives Of a score Of small boys
and girls were endangered shortly be-
fore o'clock last night by a large
automobile, which came down the
Cedar street hill, above Summit avenue,
at terrific rate of speed.
A half hundred children were coast
ing on the hill at the time, and a num-
Ger of them, having no warning of the
approach of the machine, managed to
get out of the way just In time to
escape being struck. With no warning
gong or horn, the machine tore down
the hill at rate of speed estimated
by those who witnessed 1t to be forty
miles an hour.
AT first spectators thought the ma
chine was beyond the control of its
drivers, but as it sped by it could

ing no effort to slacken the speed. The
high speed and the darkness made it
impossible to see the number and be-

sight down Cedar street.

Last night there were fully half a
hundred on the hill, and many of them
barely had time to jump to one side as
the machine bore down upon them.
There was much indignation among
the parents of some of the children,
and had it been possible to apprehend
the chauffeur he would have had to
answer to the charge of violating the
speed limit, which provides for a rate
of not more than eight miles per hour
within the city limits, and four miles
per hour while going over crossings.

Music is the inarticulate language
of the soul, which cannot be expressed
in words" quoted w. II. w. Boyle
from Richard Wagner last evening in
the Introductory portion of his SER
mon, the subject of which was "The
Harp in the Home" This was the
final one of a series of sermons, under
the general head of Safeguards of the
Home" to which the Sunday evening
service at the House of Hope for the
past two months has been devoted.
Ample exemplification of the elevat-
ing influence of good music was af-
forded in the service which accompa-
MED this sermon, the participants in
which were Miss Alberta Fisher, So
prano; Mrs. c. o. Krieger, contralto;
Harry E. George, tenor; D. F. Colville,
baritone; Edwin E. Tarbox, organist,
and William w. Nelson, violinist.
DR.. Boyle said in part:
Music needs definition. The songs
of a home will be just what the at
mosphere of the home is, whether that
atmosphere is refined, pure and moral
ly invigorating or low and degrading.
In the moral and Christian home the
