ut Is just beginning to be recognized
that these sources of information on the
life of the ancients are full of human in
terest to say nothing of their value in the
eye of the antiquarian. 1t is only recent
ly that explorers have undertaken to sift
the rubbish heaps of antiquity for those
memorials contained in letters, business
papers, official documents. etc, eloquent
as telling what manner of people they
emanated from and their social and polti-
cal environment.
1.-THE Egyptian exploration fund has
been productive of much that has been
done in that direction and the lower valley
of the Nile has yielded to a vast wealth of
papyri written in all possible languages
and separated in time by thousands of
years. Unlike the literary finds of pre-
vious explorations. such as that under
taken, for instance, in the valley of Meso-
potama, these papyri do not represent the
remains OF royal ana patrician libraries or
temple archives. They are the fugitive re-
mains that have survived from the dis
carded rubbish of long vanished centuries
old minute books and ledgers from pub
lie and private offices, second hand and
worn out books.
These finds are Of unquestioned value
to the historian of the future. No dis
trct has yet yielded so plentiful IA sup

A PRETTY ROMANCE
Love That Began in Sunny Italy Had

Its Climax in Judge Hanson's Court.
Fargo Forum: The elimination of
a romance which had Its beginning in
far away Italy occurred in the pro-
bate court this morning when Judge
Hanson spoke the words uniting Gut
seppa Scinto and Teresina Stefanucci
in the bonds of matrimony. The cere-
mony was witnessed by number Of
visitors at the court house.
A year ago Teresina came to this
city with Mrs. Chauncey e. Wheeler
who had been on an European tour.
A short time before, Giuseppe had left
the sunny fatherland and it is sur
missed that this fact was responsible
for the delight the pretty Italian girl
failed to conceal when Mrs. Wheeler
suggested the American trip.
The pretty Italian girls happiness
was boundless, however, when she as
certained on her arrival here with
Mrs. Wheeler that in this same vicin-
ity Giuseppe also had found new
home. AS a section foreman on the
railroad he was rapidly accommodating
wealth and when he renewed the pro-
testations Of love, he had first made
under the sunny skies of Italy, it
was to, be expected that it would not
be in vain.

The Minneapolis Journal contains
the following interesting article in re-
gard to DR.. and Mrs. E. j. Engstad
of Grand Forks.
Private collections of oriental art
treasures are not very numerous in
Minneapolis, though each year is add
ing to the list. One of the very latest
to come to the city is owned and per-
sonally collected by DR.. and Mrs. J..
E. Engstad during recent trip
around the world. Mrs. Engstad is
temporarily at 2431 Hennepin avenue,
but will build home on lots already
owned on Lowry Hill in the spring,
and will then be joined by her hus-
band, who is a physician of Grand
Forks, widely known throughout the
Dakotas.
Mrs. Engstad came to Minneapolis
nineteen years ago, and spent three
years in Central high school and the
Minneapolis academy, but has since
lived elsewhere and has spent q great
deal of time travelling on the contin-
ent She and DR.. Engstad sailed upon
their latest trip from Seattle in May,
1903, upon the Raga Maru, one of the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha line, occupying
the cabin that Marquis Ito had had
short time before, when he was j. j.
Hills guest. They had a very stormy
passage and saw land but once, and
that was only one of the Aleutian
islands, Amantignac, so barren that
even goat would need to carry ra-
tions to live there. They left the boat
at Yokohama, and it was shortly put
into commission by the Japanese to
convey soldiers to Korea, and was one
of the first to be captured by the Rus
slams.
The Mongolia, Russian boat, in
which they sailed 10 Shanghai, was,
curiously enough, one of the first cap
tured by the Japanese.
Mrs. Engstad was the first American
woman to take the Russian transcon-
tinental railway trip from Dalny to
Moscow, a trip requiring thirteen and
one-half days.
Then continues photographs and
descriptions of Mrs. Engstad's art
treasures that form a very rare and
valuable collection.
