A dispatch from Crookston says
there is an'unprecedented movement of
homesteaders to northern Minnesota
this fall. The class of settlers from
Indiana and other states is of most
substantial character, many of them in
prime of life intending to make their
permanent homes in northern Mime
sofa. Large delegations are also ex
pected in the spring. There is no
doubt in our mind that the chances to
day in northern Minnesota are supe' ior
to Canada, North Dakota, Montaua,
Texas or any other section.

II Is a well appreciated fact that this

rules, there are exceptions. Some
managers still cling TO the idea that
only true artists car move an audience
to laughter and tears alternately

woman is found who can occupy this
position fame and fortune await them.
This is even more rarely found in a
child. There Is, however, one child
at last who, II she were placed upon

nation would picture the necessary
