Monte Carlo.-Dear Uncle: blush
to write the name, Monte Carlo, at the
head of letter to anyone that is a
Christian, or who believes in honesty
and decency, and earning a living by
the sweat of ones brow, for this place
is the limit. If should write anybody
a letter from South Clark street, Chi
cago, the recipient would know had
gone wrong, and was located in the
midst Of bad element, and the in
ference would be that was the worst
fakir, robber, hold-up man or assassin
in the bunch.
The inference you must draw from
the heading of this letter is that dad

ness and are now winding up our ca
reer by taking the last degree, before
passing in our chips and committing
suicide. Do you know what this place
is, old man? Monaco is a principality,
about six miles square, ruled by a
prince, and the whole business OF the
country, for it is a country" the same as
though it had king, is gambling. They
have all the different kinds of gam
bling, from chuck-a-luck at two bits
10 roulette at a million dollars min
ute. What started dad to come to
Monte Carlo is more than know, I'M
less it was a new American he has got
acquainted with, fellow from North
Dakota, that dad met at sort Of dance

there is place in Paris where they
go to see men and women dance-one
of those dances where they kick so
high that their feet hit the gas fixtures.
Well, all know about it is that one
Wednesday night dad said he felt as
though it was his duty to go to prayer
meeting, so he could say when he got
home that in all the frivolities of trip
abroad, even in wicked Paris, he never
neglected his church duties. I never

Splendid State University.


The public school system finds its
highest development in its splendid
state university. Now only is the
attendance equal to that of any one
of the four or five largest universe
ties in the country, but, in it's variety
of courses of study, in it's colleges
of law, medicine, engineering and
agriculture, in the full and thorough
equipment of every department, in
the efficient service rendered by it's
instructors. and in the high stand
ard of administration maintained by
it's venerable president, Cyrus North
rop, it takes rank with the foremost
institutions of higher learning in
America. The school of agriculture
is in many respects the best organ
lied school of this nature in the
Union. 1t offers thorough, practical
instruction for the boys and girls
from the farm, it's main object be-
ing to SO educate them that they
can return to their home and take up
scientifically dairying, the care, feed
ing and breeding of stock, the culti-
walton of grains and vegetables, tree
planting and growing, preservation
of the soil, carpentry and black
Smltn1ng.
And it is not alone in it's public
school system, closely articulated,
and beginning with rural school and
ending with the state university, that
Minnesota excels. 1t has also numer-
Gus private schools, academies and
colleges, maintained by various
churches or founded and kept up
through the endowments of private
individuals
From this brief statement it may
be seen that no one leaving an old
established community with all pos
sible educational advantages need
hesitate to come TO Minnesota in the
fear that he will not find the same or
greater opportunities offered himself
and family here.

Cathedral in East Einety-seventh street,

Of the service is the discovery by the priest
that the tomb Of Christ Is empty, followed
by the announcement that the Saviour
has risen.
This happened Saturday at midnight
The tomb was placed in the center Of the
church. Bearing an ikon the priest de-

woman, that is certain; she isn't
good--at least not by conven-

seems far removed from censur-

Fault at the door OF her perhaps
too-good husband! Is it that
they feel he is to blame for heT
down-going because he chose
power in place Of love?

"Thsfs have been love- in this world which have
