Anthonys Falls, MINI. where 1 began
the practice of my prof ession, the law.
There was no city Of Minneapolis
when went there, but as soeu as it
was started, found myself stung by
the journalistic bee, and founded, the
Minneapolis Journal. It was an uphill
job, but we persevered. Public senti-
ment was in opposition to an anti
slavery paper in that section OF the
country. The proslavery element was
strong, and professional men, particu-
larly lawyers, and the preachers, also,
turned the cold shoulder on U.S." ,;S "
r Or. Fell relates an interesting story
OF how he went out with a horse and
wagon to round up subscribers for his
newspaper. Near Fort Smelling he
was met by the commanding officer Of
the fort, who told him that party
of Sioux and Objiways had by some
means secured several kegs Of whisky.
The, officer jumped into Dr. Fells
wagon, and they finally came Up with
the Indians and destroyed the liquor,
but it was race between them and
the half-drunken red devils for the
fort. There was a heavy snow on the
ground, SO that the Indians were
handicapped and they lost their race
with the horse and wagon.

Intellect in Sex.

The common impression that the av-
erage man is superior to the average
woman Intellectually at least. in orig
inality. inventiveness, reasoning pow
er and the like is beyond doubt due
to the common habit Of judging each
sex by its most superior representa-
tives. This seems fair enough, and
would be fair enough, says a writer
In the Bookman, but for the difference
between the sexes in variability, that
is, the range of spreading down from
a1d up the average, in intellectual
traits at least the male sex is the more
variable group; the very highest and
very lowest marks in a mixed college
class will commonly be given to men:
the variability found among boys in
the numerous mental tests which have
been given by psychological investi.
gators Is from five to ten per cent.
greater than that found among girls.
OF the thousand most eminent intel.
lects of history 81 per cent. are men,
the variability which causes the mo.
nopoly Of genius causing also the ex.
istence of twice as many male as fe.

on the spot when the terrible earth

Gen. Funston is right we'll known
in Washington, where he has many
friends who were intimate with him
long before he ever dreamed that he
would wear the stars of a brigadier
general in the regular army. Less
than dozen years ago he was an in
conspicuous clerk in the department of
agriculture, place he secured through
the influence of his father, who was
for many years Republican congress
! man: from the state Of Kansas. Fun
ston was always an ambitious little fel-
low, but his friends here do not re-
call that a military career especially
appealed to him until conditions grew
so bad in Cuba under Spanish misrule.
He used to talk with his associates
about the oppression, Of the. Cubans
and wish that he could do something
to help them win liberty. He went to
Cuba finally and fought with the pa
triots against the Spanish and had q
| pretty lively time.
It was when the Spanish war broke
out. and he was largely instrumental
in raising Kansas regiment, of which
he was made colonel, that his active
military career began and he soon
demonstrated that while he was an en-
thusiast, he was practical one and
| not q visionary one.

On the whole the metropolis seems 10
have decided that skyscrapers are not
such a bad thing in an event or an
earth shiver.
It is figured out that the steel-frame
buildings in San Francisco behaved
very we'll considering. The construc-
ton companies point out that even q
certain substantial vibration would not
shake out the stone or brick. A Fuller
company expert allows an occilation OF
20 inches in fiat iron building, for ex-
ample. But" he says, II am figuring
on a regular motion. If there was an
eccentric jolt I'd rather not be on the
top floor.
The biologists say that New York,
built on solid rock, would be ruined by
much lighter shock than that which
devastated San Francisco. The water
mains would go with a shock even at
some miles distant. ~
To be reassuring Fire Chief Croker
declares that New York could never be
ravaged as San Francisco was, be-
cause the long narrow city could draw
water from both rivers. He advises
more fire boats-and more hose.
Meanwhile it seems to have occurred
to great many people that New York
is one of the luckiest cities in the
world. Certainly it's history of purely
local disasters is very small. It's three
earthquake shocks have been scarcely
perceptible. 1t has had no great fire,
no great pestilence. Everything has
been prophesied. Nothing has hap
pened. If it's wicked are to be pun
islled it may be that it is to be by the
ordinary course.

publishers simply say the thing was
