AMERICAN ART.
The WAY Men of Means May Promote
It's Advancement

IL IS an encouraging theory that all
important art epochs have been Dre
ceded by epochs Of great wealth. and
It may we'll be that the present multi-
pIcation of large fortunes will be the
foundation of a more ideaI condition
OF society, affording, as these fortunes
do, the support of extensive artistic
undertakings, as did those of Genoa
and Venice. And while it would be in
sensate folly to fill our museums exclu-
slVely with work by Americans. II Is
more and more to be expected that our
artists will profit by the showing they
make in such collections as the COM
parative exhibition Of a few years ago.
III which they held their own with for
elgn masters of the same departments.
The first way, therefore, to help
American art is to buy worthy pictures
oy American artists. Our rich men
particularly our new recruits in this
class-should bear in mind that an ex-
hlblt1on of, let US say, the Society of
American Artists, has as high stand
ara OF admittance as the Paris Salon
and is likely to contain less trash, and
that, purely as a matter of investment.
to urge no higher motive, it pays to
buy the best American work.
Another way for those who wish by
their wealth to add to the pleasure Of
their countrymen is to give or beoueath
a portion of it to museum for the en-
enlargement of native art, and to be
OF the highest efficiency such a bene-
faction should be without condition. II
is said that in Boston it is not respecta-
Bile to die without making a bequest to
Harvard university or the Museum of
Art. Certainly that city has an envia-
bic reputation for the unceasing, ever
Vlgllant civic pride and solidarity that
made Emerson exclaim of it, Thou
darling town Of ours"-Century.

Naples celebrates in Il curious man,

Ropes are stretched from house to

week one feather is plucked, so that
only one remains at Holy Saturday.
Then, as soon as the cannon of Fort

London's Most Ancient Court.

The ancient court of hastings is of
Saxon origin, and the name is derived
from hus, house, and thing. a matter
Of cause-that is, a house or hall Of
causes. Courts of the kind were estab-
lished in all the great cities, and, as
regards London, it is the supreme as
well as the most ancient court and is
the court of appeal from the sherffs'
court. In the earliest times it was
held weekly but it is now summoned

END OF THE UNIVERSE.
How 1T VIII Come According to the
Norse1and Myth.

NOrSeIanO MStN.
One Of the most striking bf the Morse
land myths is that in which is pictured
the eId of the universe when all the
gods of Asgard and Nitt1eheim and the
inhabitants of JOtunhetm and Midoard
together with their habitations. would
be destroyed. That this catastrophe
woUld come to all the visible creation
th " firmly believed. for their untaucht
minds, could not conceive of immOr-
tally.
And this is how they pictured the
fearful time: Three winters would
come upon the earth one after another
without the tempering influence of
single summer. Snow would fall from
every quarter of the heavens. wild
storms would sweep over the earth
with tempeStuOuS winds that nothing
could withstand, and the sun would
lose its heat.
Three other winters would succeed
the first three during which red Wis
aged war would stalk over the uni
verse, leaving blood and death in it's
ruthless track Then the earth would
begin to tremble in uncomfortable fear
the sea would rush from its bed, the
heavens would be rent, and the eagles
Of the air would feast upon the still
quiVering flesh of multitudes of men
slain without warning.
FenriS, the wolf monster. would
throw off his bonds; the AIidgard ser
pcnt whose gigantic form encircled the
world, would rise from its lair, and

would desert the gods and go back
among their enemies Surtur would
lead his followers to the BifroSt bridge,
devouring flames before and behind
them, and, having destroyed it i'll
{ their passage they would join Loki
and the frost giants on the battlefield

Meanwhile Heimdall. the Waterman

Then Vidar, the son of Odin. would

Y. M. C. A. Board Chooses Duluth
Man to Succeed Secretary
j. II. Fellingham
HE WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT
Board Believes GoodeII is Just the Man
the Local Association Necds-since
His Connection With the Duluth AS
ISOLATION He Has Done a Valuable
Work

John A. Goodell, assistant secretary
of the Duluth city Y. M. G. A., will
probably succeed j. II. Fellingham as
general secretary of this cty's associa-
ton. The board of directors, at its
monthly meeting Tuesday night. ex-
tended a unanimous call to Mr.. Good
ell, which was mailed last night. There
is every reason to believe he will ac-
cept, and If he does he will probably
come here April Is to begin his work.
Mr.. Goodell was not a candidate. and
was not anxious to leave Duluth The
call to him was the result of the strong
recommendations the board received
and the Investigation j. F. Mead treas
urer of the board made in Duluth.
MI. Goouell Is not a college bred
man. and his education consists of
common school training, business
course. and the experience In Y NJ G.
"A. work he has gained thru three years
as an assistant secretary at Duluth
and three years as chairman of one of
that associations important commits
tees. That he made good" with the
Duluth association is evident from the
fact that In three years his salary was
increased from $50 to 500 a month as
assistant secretary. During that time
he has had charge of the membership,
educational and religious branches OF
the associations work. He also played
no small part in raising fund of
$lS0,000 for Duluth's new building.
Mr.. Goodell is an Iowa man. He
was born near Cedar Rapids, but until
a young man lived with his parents
near Ellsworth, Kas When % years
of age he entered the railway mail
service and was assigned to a run on
the Duluth South Shore and Atlantic
division of the Canadian Pacific, which
he held for eight years. During his
postal clerk service he became inter-
ested in Y. NJ. c. A. work, to such an
extent that during the last three years
of his service he was chairman of the
committee of the Duluth
association. Three years ago he left
the postal service to become an assist
ant secretary at Duluth, and was plac-
ed in charge of the membership work
The following year he was placed at
later the educational and religious
Mr. Goodell during the building can
vass, was placed at the head of 100
young men who were assigned to raise
$4,000 of the slS0,000 for the building.
The Century Club, as 1t was known,
did it's work so we'll that 1t raised $2S,-
700 instead of 100000. The educational
work he has developed in Duluth ex-
ceeds any similar work being done in
Iowa. Altogether he is considered a
strong man with excellent quaifica- !
ions. and with eight years of associa-
lions with railroad men he Is better
qualified for the railroad work of the
association than any previous secretary |
his city has had.
If Mr. Goodell accepts he will come

FORESTS DISAPPEARING.
Cut-Over Lands Invite Settlement in
Western Washinuton


4 Few people realize the rapidity with
| which the forests of this country are
disappearing. The lumbermen OF
Maine. Michigan and Minnesota either
have sought new fields Of operation
or very soon will have to do so. They
are turning to the immense pine for
ests of Idaho or the timbered slopes
of the Cascade mountains, which at
one time seemed to offer an absolutely
inexhaustibe supply. Even these
sound, before the advance OF the lum-
berman's axe. Already vast tracts of
land once covered with dense growth
of timber are now stripped Of almost
4 all their understandable trees. These
cut-over lands are enriched by the
| decaying vegetation of centuries, and
cannot be eXcelled for fertility. True,
| the stumps remain in the ground, MAX
| ing ii practically impossible to convert
them into large fields cultivated by
machinery suitable for operation on
the unbroken surface of the prairie,
but there are many uses to which they
can be put with very great profit. They
cam be sown to pasture and in the mild
salubrious climate of the Puget Sound
district dairying can be carried on
with great advantages; the same is true
to truck gardening, while cherries and
vine fruits as we'll as hops all flourish
in this region. Nor should the fact be
overlooked that the city of Seattle,
with it's growing trade with Alaska. TO
say nothing of the lumber camps and
mines located all Through this region,
afford a market which the home prod
ucts do not yet begin to supply.
The impression sometimes prevails
that all the country west of the Cas-
cade mountains has the same tempera-
ture and rainfall, and that the latter
is too great for comfortable existence.
This is an entire mistake. The Olym-
pia mountains, which occupy a large
part of the lpeninsular between Puget
Sound and the Pacific serve to con-
dense much of the moisture from the
ocean, and the Puget Sound basil
proper, while 1t has ample rainfall.
does not suffer from any excess in this
direction. The rainy season lasts prac-
tically from November to April. The
summers are bright and warm, the
heat being always tempered by the
ocean breezes. No more healthful re-
gion can be found and the low price
at which these cut-over lands can be
secured, makes this a very attractive
proposition to those who have expert
ence in this line of work, and 1t offers
less difficulty TO Inexperienced persons
than probably any other branch of
agriculture or horticulture.

matidn regarding this section, can OBJ
