To Climb Mountains,

continuance has been invented
to make mountain climbing much
easier. The foot is held with the aid
of leather straps in a clamp. The
heel is made in two parts; one is
shaped like the boot, and the other,
T, is screwed in the first, thus raising
the heel on a level with the toe.
These contrivances can be fastened
on to the toe of the foot when the
climber is descending.

religious character of the building will
speak most directly through the en-
bellishments.
THE sculpture that is planned for
the cathedral is as elaborate as that
of any cathedral than 1 can now call
to mind, and while l am working with
all the freedom that l believe was
ever given to any sculptor, l am TAX
ing the problem up as 1 find it and
dealing with it as a separate and new
subject without precedents - not
thinking, in other words. how other
people have worked upon other
cathedrals.
What 1 mean by that is that the
architecture as the architect turns it
over to US demands a treatment in
dividual to itself and as far as the
architecture is original the treatment
is new.
"The subject of church sculpture or
Gothic sculpture-they are the same
seems to have been a puzzle to
modern men. 1t admittedly occupies
a position unique among styles and
frequently attains a height of nobil-
ity and beauty unsurpassed by the
Greeks.
Charm of Sculpture.
'tRodin admits that he is puzzled
by it. He states that he finds it i'm
possible to understand Gothic style
at all, much as he admires it.
''Of course, what 1 refer to is the
sculpture. Very definite lines of work
were arrived at by the architects, but
the sculpture seems always to have
been left free to travel it's own
strange way. In my opinion, its charm
is unquestionably due to this fact, to
this freedom, and 1 believe that this
is the explanation that has been
sought by so many.
For, instance, 1 have tried a great
many assistants at the cathedral and
at my studio for this work of the
cathedral. 1 have found that ne one
man in twenty has enor.h of what
call the natural in him, the aliveness
to the beauty of form as it is as he
shapes it under his hand, to be what
1 consider necessary to make a Gothic
sculptor.
1.-The American worker is either
overturned or undetermined. The one
leaves him without knowledge of his
craft and the other provides him with
conventions, and l have found that
my assistants make no satisfactory
Roadway unless they know their craft
and yet are not overburdened with
what I call academic knowledge

Had a Delightful Time

At the Auditorium on last Friday
evening, committee of nine Rebeccas
entertained the members of the Odd
Fellow and Rebecca lodges and thei,
families.
The entertainment was an unique
one, partaking of the nature, of a
Halloween frolic. The decorations
were jack o'lanterns, golden corn,
black cats, and rosy checked apples.
Corn was popped and served hot in
small paper sacks, nuts and sugar
kisses were showered on the delighted
guests at intervals, while fruit punch
was served in tin cups from a gypsy
kettle. A Wheel of Fortune furnished
much amusement, especially to the
married couples. The short musical
program added greatly to the enjoy
ment of the evening. A fine solo,
Dreamy June" rendered by Mrs.
Willis James, was highly appreciated.
After an hour spent in dancing the
ninety guests departed for their re-
spective homes, pronouncing the
evening bewitching frolic from start
to finish.

out the county by the Moritz-Bernick
combination and some of their agents
to the effect that l have been touring
that part of Stearns County in the
First Legislative District together
with MIR. Ed. w. Nugent, democratic
nominee for Representative and that
we have been political pair through
odt this campaign and worked to-
gather against j.. R. Howard, the
republican nominee for representative
in the First Legislative District.
+ Now wish to most emphatically deny
this charge as there is not a particle
of truth in it. / have not even had a
talk with Mr.. Nugent at any time
during this campaign in regard to
anything political and have not
travelled one mile with him during
this campaign. 1t is plain that the
object my opponent has in circulating
this story is to get the republican
voters in the first legislative district
prejudiced against me and thereby
gain votes for himself. / want all
voters in Stearns County to know
that the story above referred to is not
true and l want all my friends to help
make this known wherever the story
