The Drama of the Century.

Klaw & Changers mammoth me-
chanical production of General Lew
Wallace's mighty play, "Ben Hur, "
with its lustrous Star of Bethlehem,
its camels, Arabian steeds, Oriental
trappery and mimic splendor of the
gorgeous east" is beyond dispute
the most elaborate spectacle ever
staged ia the history of the world.
It's series Of seventeen scenes present
to the eyes a feast of multifarious
beauty and variety, all set to SYM
phonic accompaniment of graceful
music. The exciting episodes such as
the galley scene, with its horde of
chained slaves, the seafight, the res
cue In mid-sea and the thrilling char
lot race with eight horses, combined
with the picturesque scenes illustrat-
ing the Wise Men in the desert, the
moon-lit lake in the Orchard of Palms
where Ben Hur and Iras enjoy seclu-
sion and make love in Iras' barge, the
palm-wavlng worshippers on Mount
Olivet and the Grove of Daphne with
its nymphs and Devadasi, dancing in
their skins Of beasts, to the music of
the kissing cymbals, simply captivate
the great audiences that are nightly
in attendance wherever Ben Hur' Is

Whatever may be thought of the
purely dramatic element supplied by
William Young in his adaptation of
General Wallace's unique romance, it
must be admitted that the result is
an effective popular appeal to four
classes of play-goers-the spectacle

Made Uniform.

Supplanting optional teaching plans
and text book with a uniform course
of study, S. w. Gilpin, county super.
intendent of schools, has made an i'm
provement in the county's educational
system, making all sessions in ungrad.
ed schools as systematic as the ticking
ing of clock.
In manual embracing the common
branches of study the eight years oil
the common school course is divided
into grades and the length of time re.
quired,to complete stages of progress
is determined as accurately as a rail.
way time table.
The principal benefit will apply to
the children moving from one part Of
the county to another as their text
books can be used and their studies
pursued, practically without interrup
tion. Credit will be given for progress
attained and any pupil being with
drawn from one school and enrolled in
another can continue his studies from
the stopping point.
Considering that many children are
annually forced by circumstances to
change schools the advantage will be
material In doing away with reviews

Two bears promenading in the
streets of Duluth stopped the street
cars this week and the passengers
were RECALLED with the sight, of the
procession. Duluth has various
items of interest to show tourists
and all leave well satisfied. With
its menagerie of bears, political
wolves and fresh sea monsters, its
aerial bridge, boulevard and court
house, not mentioning Joe Sheehy
and the Bowery, Duluth shows up
more wonders than any other city
in the country.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON and his estim.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON and his estim-
able wife were with the Minnesota
editors on their recent trip and
both enjoyed the outing. It is
needless to say the editors also en-
joyed the company of Gov. and
Mrs. Johnson. Politics were laid
aside on the trip and the boys fra
ternized as editors should. The
governor is a deserved favorite of
the editorial family.

A TRUANT officer in Elv would be
about the proper caper. Many a
pupil here goes to school when he
feels like it. A few stiff fines which
the parents would be compelled to
pay would change the aspect of
things. Many parents are prone
to allow their children, especially
boys, too much laxity in education

they do not advance in their stud
