Color Question Up
Again in Boston.

The color question continues to bob
up in Massachusetts,. The other day the
proprietor of Higgins Oyster house in
the West End was taken into court be-
cause he would not serve a colored man;
and now members of the dark race are
trying to keep alive prejudice by op-
posing all effort to have this state take
any part in the coming exposition. in
Jamestown, in recognition of the three
hundredth anniversary Of the first Eng
lish settlement. Back in the nineties,
colored man was member of Mas
sachusetts legislative committee visit
ing Virginia, and it is claimed that he
was Disseminated against because Of
his color on the occasion of the commit
tee 8 entertainment at the home Of Gov
ernor o Farrell. This has been brought
to the attention Of Governor Guild, but
it is believed that the Legislature will
appropriate $75, 900 for a Massachusetts
building and proper representation at
Jamestown next year. -.

Perform Operation
While Hospital Burns.

~ An operation has, perhaps, never been
performed under more unusual circum-
stances than that which DR.. N. M. EN-
erson of Boston, and DR.. Franklin Fer
guson Of Bath, performed on Mrs.
Charles Spinney Of Bath in the Trull
hospital in Biddeford.. When they were
about to begin, it was discovered that
the hospital was on fire, but the doctors
kept on with their work, while the fire
department came and began to pour
water on the flames. Soon water began
to trickle thru the ceiling Of the room
in which the surgeons were operating.
They called for umbrellas, and, thus
protected, finished their work. The OPP
GRAFTON over the patient was removed
from the building, while the fire still
ragged. All the other patients had been
taken out.

Judges Disagree Over
Identical Laws.

Whether there will be racing this
summer at the New England Breeders
track at Salem, N. H., still continues to
be subject for discussion, since the
supreme court Of the state has decided
that pool selling there is illegal. This
decision is directly opposite to one Civ
en- by the New York courts, and the
bill pushed thru the New Hampshire
legislature by New York men was iden-
teal in many respects with one under
which racing is conducted in the EN-
pire state. Thousands Of dollars have
been invested in the Salem track, which
is just over the Massachusetts line. a'sa'

Club Libraries.

8 T. < ,
T. The February bulletin from the Min
nesota library commission in the new
capitol, reports that there are now
thirty libraries on twenty three sub
jects to be loaned for the exclusive use
of study clubs. Among those not al
ready reserved for 1867 for, art study
are those on American art and Italian
painting. A large number of pictures
are included in these libraries.
This collection of libraries was
started by gifts in 1900, from the Min
neapolis Woman's council, 500; The
Minneapolis Journal, $50, and the New
Century club, St. Paul, $1O0. Later,
gifts were sent from the Winona. Art
club and five other Minneapolis clubs.

this list there is the clincher: All
laws not expressly repealed by this
chapter shall remain in force and moth
ing in the revised laws shall be con-
-strued as abrogating or otherwise af-
fecting the same.''s
This list of repealed laws does not
refer to the statutes of 1894, and there
is no way of telling from them what
laws have been and what have not been
repealed.
Lawyers Earn Fees.
The first step to be taken by law
yer looking for all the statute law in
any case is to get all the session laws
from 1866 down to date There are
only few lawyers in the state who
have these session laws, and to get
them is no easy task. When they are
once procured each volume of session
laws will have to be checked over with
the repeating sections of the new code
and the hundreds and thousands of re-
pealed chapters and parts of chapters
eliminated. The chapters and sections
remaining will then have to be studied
and these added to the provisions Of
the new code will constitute the stat
ute law of the state of Minnesota.
eft the aim of the new code was to
simplify the law it has missed its call
| ing said Colonel w. E. Dodge yester-
day. "Lawyers are just beginning to
realize what they are up against and
are nonplussed by the situation. To
find all the law on a case is the work
of months. The result will be that
some one will have to write new book
entailing about as much work as the
new code, and tell the people of Mime
sofa what the law really is"

H OCTOR GOOSE is great friend
] of the Tailor in good many ways.
~ He is most commonly known as
the Hot Flat-Iron.
Everybody knows how useful he is at
certain times and for certain purposes.
He hasa magical way of restoring sickly
locking clothes to t<mbora,y@ health and

But very few people know that he does
a good deal of hts work Gin the DARK so to
speak-and remember this if he hadn't
so much to do with the shaping of clothes
in the first Place, there would not be SO
great need for his services later on.
These are the little secrets of the CLOTH

Nobody has ever paid much attention to
them.
They have been taken for granted-just
as matter of course.
: Yet this fat-iron trickery is responsible
for clothes losing their shape and character

The Hot Flat-Iron has been the "cure-

THE life Of Michelangelo Buon-
arroti (1475-1564), extends
over ninety years portions OF
two centuries, while there were
eleven occupants Of the papal chair
and witnessed some Of the most stir
ring times in Italian history. Grimm s
study of the whole Of Italian art bears
only the name of Michelangelo on its
title page. Like the Arabian "open
sesame, he seems the approach to the
history of revolutions, reforms in reli
gion and art, and changes in powerful
popes, magnates and people. Just far
enough removed from Florence to have
his native hills grow dim in distance.
he was born of prineely parents, who
designed him for student s life, but
from which he determinedly turned, and
made immortal his triple genius, in
architecture, sculpture and painting. Lo
renzo de Medici, then controlling Flor
,ence, a brilliant man with great capaci
ties for state and finance; called justly
the balance point Of italian potentates
as his death witnessed their waning
power, early patronized the artist.

Architect of St. Peter IS.

. - Is
Altho architect of st. Peters for six
teen years, pushing the work with his
accustomed vigor, he was destined
never to see the dome completed. Once
seen, the dome can never be forgotten,
whether from distant hills, from near
view as it echoes the service, or glows
with the brilliant light of festival oc-
casions. Whatever Michelangelo
touched he showed himself the power
full thinker, great sculptor, perfect
draughtsman; his art showed simple,
bold lines, stability of pose, dignity of
subject sota sea fching emotions. The
Church Of Santa sCroce holds the sacred
heritage ofahis dust. With the great
number of reference books on this and
contemporary artists, Grimm s is
scarcely surpassed.

His Contemporaries.

His contemporaries show that there
were truly "giants in those days. In
politics, Francis I. and Charles ", Phil
ip H., Elizabeth; in reforms, savona-
rola, Luther, Calvin, Knox, Zwingli,
Cranmer, Latimer, Ridley; the mon
archy Of the Tudors and the Dutch re-
public were shaped and the wars be.
tween Italy and France progressed.

son, toyed, with his talents, allowing
them to take what range they might -;
Raphael grew up. among. artists as tho
painting was the sole aim. of existence;
but Michelangelo, tho opposed by his
parents, by his independent ideas and
infexible will worked out his inherent
greatness a5zz & az }4@
Michelangelo Sculpture.
His art found the most natural ex-
preston in sculpture, and his David of
gigantic size, chiseled from a block of
marble injured by an. incapable artist
won his fame in Florence forever. His
grand sculptures designed for the maui
soleum of Pope Julius II, especially
the colossal "Moses,' are among his
Justly celebrated creations, on which he
worked at intervals of many years.

Sist1ne Chapel ErescOes.

When but little past 80, the pope sum-
moned him to Rome to fresco the Sis
tine chapel. He declined, saying he could,
not paint; however with his usual per-.
sistence' Of purpose, Julius insisted on
his executing the work. On the fiat
tened center of the ceiling, separated by.
most ingenious areH tectural Hdivision:
lines, he painted. the STORY of the
world s creation, Adam, Eve, their ex-.
pulsion from the gardens, and the Ola,
J. Testament stories, down to the Mes.

windows being filled by twelve immense
figures, seven prophets alternating with
five SYPHILIS. The illustration shows the

lieved to foretellz. the coming of
Christ. He allowed no assistant to
touch the frescoes, SO all the sublimity
Of design, boldnesss of execution and ex-
quisite touches Of color are due. to his
mighty genius. During this period
(l5OS-12), his country was torn by civil
and foreign wars; at different times
the fierce Cloths, plundering Vandals and
Huns, had spread like whirlwind over
the imperial city, but never had such
terror reigned as during the sack of
the Bourbons in 1927. When summoned

Like Dante's Inferno.

Dante was Michelangelo favorite
poet; he knew the poems by heart, and,
deeply imbued with national woes, his
picture seems pictorial reality OF the
UInferno.' The wall is twice the
height, Of the width, 60x30, and repre-
sents the open space Of heaven in which
appears, in the upper part, Christ in the
center, with Mary kneeling at his side,
surrounded by innumerable saints in a
halo of light. Angels sound the last
trumpet and in every conceivable
shape from the lower plane the dead
| come forth from their sleep of cen
turtles, to join Christ, or in contrast, the
! demons push them to the endless abyss
below. The contest over, Charon emp
ties his crowded boatload into smoke
and fame.
In early life Michelangelo chose the
world 8 creation; in the twilight Of
age, the last judgment. In spotless
purity, in a corrupt age, isolated, alone,
without sympathy from the gay but
worthless life about him, he trans
ferred to the Sistine walls the
sublime ideas of noble soul.
His solitary life was, for a few years,
transformed by the friendship Of the
gifted and beautiful Vittoria Colonna,
and when chisel and brush found rest,
he found the groove Of conventional
speech too narrow for his expression,
and poured out his soul in the rhythms
of poetry. When, at her death, the
short dream Of happiness was over,
marble and picture completed his re-
Election Of the sixteenth century, with
it's melancholy regrets, bold hopes, its
long agony of trial and gigantic re
