cornelia has an interesting group

,Cornelia has an interesting group of
nephews and ;nieces, most Of them infants,
and she Is as fond and foolish as the
mother of any one Of them can possibly be.
Her raptures are rather likely to provoke
a smile among those who only see Cog
neia's ordinary and business side, for If
she were man she would be described as
hard headed with a hint of hard-hearted-
ness thrown In. Her soft side is carefully
concealed and some Of us never discovered
it until these babies began to occupy
large share of her attention.
Some Of us know her family more or
less and there are nearly always inquiries
about the youngsters that give Cornelia
opportunity Of telling Of their latest cute
/ sayings and pranks, of which there is no
lack, for they are a bright lot who regard
their aunt as a picnic designed for their
special amusement. i She always devotes
! herself to them when they visit her Sun
days and holidays, or when. she visits
them. This being the case, they parade all
| their newest achievements and treasures
before her doting gaze in the full ex-
pectation Of appreciation and Indulgence.
She never works her pennies off on a
street car conductor, in fact, never offers
one in payment for anything, for she al
ways lets them accumulate in her pockets
to be fished for by the Riddles as the
squirrels in Central park, New York, poke
into the pockets Of their friends for
| goodies.

When ready to build the sides, take sew

wrap the cornhusk about it; then sew as

that the baskets are really of grass, the

In fact, they can only be used when
wrapped over grass. for the pieces are
too short for anything else.

Gruesome Superstition Pro-

tectS Naples Museum.
Rome. Oct. "a thief without an
ounce of artistic feeling helped him
self to some valueless antiquities in
the Naples National Museum, and the
local papers explain why that 1nstltu-
ton is so seldom robbed, tho robbery
is almost invited by the nature of the
treasures and their easy accessibility.
This has been the first theft since the
year 1910, when a thief was slain in
the museum by the enraged heather
gods, according to popular belief.
Ninety-three years ago, a poor devil
who had struggled himself into the
museum during the confusion caused
by a cyclone, was able to collect a bag
full Of gold and silver ornaments, but
lost himself in the endless halls and
corridors when he tried to make off
with the booty. AS he felt his way
ing moon lit up the grinning face of
mummy, and, half-frightened to
death, the thief fell heavily against
the glass case, breaking it. The con-
cussion threw several mummies out
of their lidless collins. They fell
upon the thief, who probably thought
the heather gods" were about te
strangle him. At any rate, he ex.
pired on the spot, and next morning

proven highly satisfactory in carrying out
the ideas of the worker but with the adj
vent of the movement to return to the
materials our forefathers used, basketfy
is destined to be something more than
a, fad.
+ The so-called cornhusk baskets belong
to the coiled school, the weave of which
has always been a favorite with the best
basket makers in the world, because it
is capable of such a large variation. The
foundation of these baskets is of grass
and sedge, the cornfusks being used fol-
padding and to carry out the design.
For instance to make a large scraI
basket. the first step is to procure a pound
of manila hemp. Begin the basket with
the hemp, as the coil is SO small it Is

Try are much moro elementary than this
one, for in the coiled basketry. even tho
it is simple and constructive in char
acter, the builder must know something
of design and use only those which are
harmonious and capable of being inter-
preted.
In the cornhusk work the design is
naturally subjected to conditions. For ex-
ample wrapping on the coil gives it a
diagonal effect. For this reason it is q
little difficult to keep the form and con-
troll the materials unless the worker has
a clear idea in mind to which she leads
up.
The coil is one Of the constructive ele
1nents and the stitch another because il
follows the shape of the basket and leaves
a diagonal line Of sewing.

The First Apollo Evening.


There will be no. ticket seller at the
door of the First Baptist church Monday
evening when the Apollo club gives its
first concert, as the entire seating capacity
has been reserved for the season by the
associate members. Never before nave
there been sc. many applica tons for asso-
ciate membership as there were this sea-
son. This unique position is probably
without precedent in the musical annals
[ of Minneapolis Such marked success is
due to the fact that the prime motive OF
the club is musical advancement OF the
community, as it is well known that there
is no effort made to realize a profit from
the club concerts, nor is there a desire for
personal gain Or ACKNOWLEDGMENT by any
member of the organization.

Confined For Past Ten Months In st.
Petersburg Prison.
Boston, March 7.-The Poles of Bos-
ton are greatly excited over the news
just received from Europe that Will
liam Miller, of Boston, has been ar
rested by the Russian government and
sxiled to Siberia.
Miller has been recently engaged in
endeavoring to educate the Poles
whenever they may be, and he had not
confined his work to Russia alone.
Various societies of well to do Poles
have contributed funds to his care for
this purpose and it was the accounts
for this money and not the money that
was found on his person, that caused
his arrest
His Boston compatriots declare that
Miller had no revolutionary motives,
and that his sole motive was to edu-
cate and assist Polish immigrants who.
upon landing in America, are detained
by the inspector and often sent back
owing to their lack of education.
A mass meeting Will be held hers
to protest, Sunday, and Secretary Hay
will be asked to act.
Miller, 1t Is declared here, is an
American citizen. His real name is
Vincente Milikewiez, but he adopted
Miller for convenience. He has been
imprisoned for ten months in st. Pc
tersburg already according to the re-
ports here.

current was very swift and a mass of

Search is now being made for the

There were so men in the boat. In

This caused the boat to tip, half the

THE company is building two tubes

be finished under the river by the
early part of next fall, but as the ap.

the spring of 1904, it will not be posi-
