TRAVELLERS ABROAD
Plans for the University.

The scenic possibilities of the state
university grounds have never been
taken advantage Of. An attractive
scheme for future improvements was
outlined recently in a lecture by War
rem FL. Manning, the noted landscape
architect, before small audience at
the university. 1t is to be hoped that
the general idea of that lecture will be
carried out by the regents. or what
ever body directs the future expansion
Of the grounds.
Mr.. Manning would have the entire
campus surrounded with a driveway,
and buildings fronting on this road,
enclosing as a quadrangle the large
space between the physics building
and the armory. He laid especial en-
phasis on the river bank, now used
only for romantic spring-time meet
ings. A most attractive drive might
be laid out along that bluff, overlook
Ing the rushing current Of the Missis-
sippi, the huge power dam just above
and commanding a view of the great
flour mills just across. In the twilight
the skyline of the city seen from this
bank Is picturesque spectacle. A
row Of buildings fronting this drive
way would give solidarity to the uni
versity group, and finer sites for then
could not be found.
Plans like this mean much for the
future of Minneapolis. 1t is very
pleasant occupation to take them up
discuss them, indorse them, and Their
put them In a pigeon hole to gather
dust, while the old haphazard growth
continues. If such a plan is good, i
: should be carried out. 1t bears thu
approval of high authority, and i
would be quite in order for the boart
of regents to express themselves on tn
suggestion.

JIMMY JAckAL's PARTY.

body paid much attention when Jimmy
tJackal said he was going to give a party
in the lions cave. He went off to the
jube JUDE tree and got some gum. Then
he went to very much stickier tree,
and got little Wad Of gum about as big
as a walnut. For five days he went about
everywhere chewing the jube-jube gum
and telling how good it was. One day
he met the lion, and the lion asked him
what he was chewing.
"Jube-jube gum, your majesty, an
swered Jimmy Jackal
Give me piece growled the lion,
and if I like 1t I'll take all the rest Of
it away from you."
This was so encouraging that Jimmy
Jackal gave him-not the jube-jube gum,
but the hard little, sticky wad from the
other tree. ''Your majesty will be able to
chew it all rights hard for jackals at
first"
Well, that lion tried, and he tried, and
he tried. The harder he chewed, the more
that dreadfully sticky gum stuck his teeth
together. He was ashamed to admit that
the. jackals could chew something that he
couldn't, so he skunk away by himself. He
couldn't even roar, his teeth were stuck
SO fast together, and as for biting any
thing, it was quite out Of the question.

tions for the feast at the lions cave, and

things and naarly frightened the other

Russia's Weak System.

Russia's lack of strong men in the

The fault, according to DR.. Dillon,
Hes with the Russian bureau system,
which encourages mediocrity and
keeps the government running in a
rut. Men desiring to serve the car

begin early In life and work up thru
/ an antiquated kind of civil service.

who stick to the service are generally

There is not much sentiment in favor
of June convention for nominating the
republican ticket. AS far as the candi-
dates are concerned, they have been
working long while, and would no doubt
be glad to have the fight ended. but any
date before the national convention would
be inconvenient for the farmers. Be
sides. there is the argument that the state
convention should not meet until after the
national platform has been adopted and
the ticket named, so the republicans of
Minnesota will nave a chance to go on
record for the platform and indorse the
ticket.

st. Paul republicans are letting the gov

are confident of winning on. the rest OF

The great Sarah gets at once to her
memories. She does not go back to the
days OF her great-grandparents, tho she
mentions her grandmother. She starts off
with great promise (Which is yet unful-
filled) of telling all about her interesting
mother, thus:
My mother was fond Of travelling; she
would go from Spain to England, from
London to Paris. from Paris to Berlin and
from there to Christiania; then she would
come, back to embrace me, and set out
again for Holland her native country.
she used to send my nurse clothing for
herself and cakes for me-
And "cakes for me- was the rule with
the child Sarah When the girl was left
at a tender age in a boarding school,, two
or the items in her long list of belong
lngs We're dozen jars of jam and six
pounds of chocolates-promise of the de-
velopment Of a sweet charac ter there And
there was need Of it, for she had a tenn
per, frlghtful temper apparent from this,
told in connection with her removal from
this same boarding school, a removal
which was without her consent: "The
idea that was to be ordered about with
out any regard to my own wishes or in
clinations put me into an indescribable
rage. | rolled about on the ground, ut
tering the most heart-rending cries. T
yelled out all kinds Of reproaches, blaming
mama. my aunts and Nine. Fressard for
not hndlng some way to keep me with
her. Z, The. struggle lasted two hours E&t
The earliest years of her remembered
| life were spent with a nurse in Brittany
The nurses husband being sick, the wo-
| man was obliged one day to go into the
| fields to dig potatoes and milk Blossom
was fastened in a highchair, given her
| toys and told to be good. AS soon as the
| nurse was gone milk Blossom began try
ing to remove the peg that kept her in the
chair. She succeeded and fell over into
the fire. That was the first recorded acct
dent to the young Sarah. It was not a
great while after that she got fall which
broke her arm in two places and injured
her knee-cap. From these injuries she
did not recover for two years.
| The great actress first appearance upon
| the stage was in the Grand Champ con
vent at Versailles. The archbishop Of
Paris was to visit the convent, and prep
| arations were made for an entertainment
The list Of participants as originally made
up did not include the name Of little
Sarah, still the merest child. But one OF
the girls. it was discovered beforehand
could not do her part, and Sarah had
learned the part-in fact, all the parts of
the little drama-and was given a trial
at rehearsal. She came thru so well
that she was substituted for the other girl
Her part was that Of a guiding angel
and the archbishop gave her a medal and
kissed her for the excellence of her work
1t is announced that the writer will give
not only the story Of her career In the
theatrical world. but also in social life.
The memoirs are said to have been die
tated in part at least in the actress car
rage as she fastened from one part Of the
city to another on other business.
