Optic. J. T. Trowbridge's serial, The
Boy aud the Beast, increases in interest,
and Off the Reservation, by Edward
S. Ellis, is brought to conclusion.
Among the shorter stories, Christmas,
of course, takes first place, there being
two: The Kids Christmas, by Mabel
Jones Bush, illustrating delightfully."-
the great truth that "a little child shall
lead them" and How Santa Claus
Came to the Widow Piper, by Hermes
Tellus, telling how the gift of a pair of
boots and boys honesty and faithful
ness brought much Christmas good
cheer to those in want.

wishes to know, effecting international
conditions, and tells why the suprema-

WASHINGTON COMMENT
On President Roosevelt's Mesa

On President ROOseVelt's Message.
While majority of the members say
that the message is tame, it is to be
noted that the President has not re-
tracted by even so much as single
word his views. He still breaches jus
tice for capital as well as for labor, he
still insists that the law must deal i'm
partially with the wealthy malefactor
or the member of labor union who
breaks the laws, his boundless opti-
mism and belief in the future of the
country is still as great as ever.-Spe-
cial to Boston Globe.
President Roosevelt surprised the
leaders of his party in Congress by the
moderate tone of his annual message
read in both Houses today. Although
regarding many of his legislative sug-
gestions as novel, Republicans who
have been disposed to criticise his pre-
yious messages and speeches, were
quick to point out today that his de-
mands for immediate legislation were
very few and that the more radical of
his recommendations were in the form
of suggestions. 1t is evident that the
President and his party leaders are
both DESTROYS of avoiding split in the
party on the eve of presidential cleo
ton. Friends of the Administration
in Congress insist that President Roos-
evelt has not "backed down. in his
message. Progressive in ideas, but
moderate in tone'' is the substance of
their comment.-Special to Boston

HOG CHOLERA.

The greatest draw back to the hog indus
try which breeders in this country have to
contend with is what is known as "hog
cholera" and "swine plague"
Hog cholera is highly contagious disease
and unless checked is liable to carry off a
great number of hogs in very short time.
Mr.. A. P. Williams, of Burnetts Greek,
Ind, tells of an experience which he had
with some hogs that had the cholera "Five
years ago." says Mir. Williams, 81 was in
the employ of Mr.. j. D. Richardson,

there is to be Il raise from 800 to $500
per annum i'll this department. The
postoifce bill, as reported, will raise the
salaries of 100000 employees, classified as
follows:
Railroad mail clerks, 1900; postoffice
clerks; $4,000; city letter carriers, $4,000
and rural letter carriers, $4,000. Capt
Henry A. Castle, who has been an in
defatigabc worker for an increase of
the salaries of government employees
said:
Il am more than pleased to see the

have been engaged for several years.
am especially pleased to see the letter

carriers get an increase. / believe that
the increase of salaries of the rural car

believe that the senate will raise it to

In addition to all of the above en-

said on the highest authority that all
employees of COVER hment buildings and

STATE ART ( XHIglT
Much Interest Manifested in the Dis :
play BY St. Paul People.

The St Paul Pioneer Press has tn
following to say of the state art eX
.hibit
] The annual exhibition of the Stat,
Art society, which opened. on Thursda,
! evening at the state capitol with ii re
ception and private view, was attended
| by several hundred in spite of the fact
that another large reception came of
| the same evening. This is the mourtl
exhibit and it shows II very encourag
ing and marked advance in every
| branch of work over that of previous
years and brings to those who have
already seen it surprising realization
of the sincerity and earnestness of the
art work being done in Minnesota OF
the courageous forging ahead in spite
of comparatively small incentive and lit
tie or no atmosphere.
Several st. Paul society women are
represented by work of various kinds
Mrs. Victor Robertson by four or five
beautiful hand bound books, done in
leyant with gold tooling, which show
that she has reached the plane of the
expert i'll this most interesting branch
of art; Miss Wheelock has Il small oil
painting, Il lovely little spring scene
with peach trees in bloom bordering q
road that seems to 90 on forever, the
perspective is so fine; Miss Abby Full
Ter is represented by three delightful
little etchings and Miss Emily Corning
by some excellent examples in artistic
photography. In this latter branch
there are a number of fine examples by
Minneapolis and Winona men, notably
one by Mr.. Koehler president of the
society.
The paintings entered for competition
may be said in some cases to outrank
the canvases lent by New York artists,
and the work displayed by the student
section is most creditabie. several of
the sketches being especially good. In
the carved leather, wrought metals, pot
terry, etc, some beautiful pieces are on
view and the porcelains decorated by
two Chicago women are remarkably fine
i'll design, color and finish. The basket
work done under. the direction of Miss
Laura Williams is also interesting.
Thomas Holyoke has some clever archi-
tectural sketches on view, and Thornton
Carson and Edward +. Champney are
among those who have submitted dcs-
igns for a public fountain.
The exhibit will be taken to Fergus
Falls on Feb. Is. a
