Vests are very fashionable this year. and
a novel effect, gained by the tapping of
pointed vests, is seen in the coat shown.
The coat Is partially fitted. and so of ex-
cellent style for a woman of stout or slen-
der lines. The front closes at the throat
in trim military fashion, opening gradually
to the lower edge and disclosing a most

With the passing of st. Patrick $
day it is in order TO recall the shades
Iof many of the brightest and best
Of Irish lineage who are entitled to
inches in the worlds hall of fame.
| In literature we recall Oliver Gold
smith, sDean Swift, Tom Moore,
Sheridan, Chas. Lever and many
lesser lights, in state craft and ora
tory, Lord Clarendon, Burke, Graf
tan, our own Patrick Henry, Horace
Greeley and Robert Emmett. No
better soldiers or greater warriors
have been produced in any land.
Wellington, Lord Roberts, General
Jackson, Phil Sheridan one would
need to refer to biographical die
tionary to call the roll of illustrious
Irishmen in all ranks of active life.
1t lis doubtless fact that there are in
America today more people OF Irish
descent than on the original green
isle. But in the great majority OF
cases these have become thoroly
assimilated Americans, and we hear
very little in these days about the
Irish vote in any election. The name
of VIM. Jennings Bryan would in
dicate that he is of Irish descent, but
no publicity has been given to his
nationality one way or the other,
so far. as we, remember. 1t is a
matter of no consequence, SO long
as he is a good American.

With the death of John Alex
ander Dowie a picturesque and not
able figure is removed from the
stage of contemporary history. His
life is an example of what faith and
enthusiasm can accomplish, even
when worked out by a mind more
or less disordered, if we may take
the standpoint of his own followers
and family. On the whole, history
will record that his life and teach
ings made the world better rather
than poorer. Zion City is acknowl-
edged by its critics to be model
town from a moral point of view,
and the only scandal attached to the
dead man is that the working out OF
his IDEAS for Zion plunged the com
munity into financial bankruptcy

Local partisanship will put men
in queer positions sometimes, and it
certainly earned a roast for Rev.
Mr.. Shuman Of Red Wing last We'd
nesday afternoon, when he appeared
before a legislative conference to
consider the proposition to remove
the girls training school from Red
Wing. He intimated that it would
be a good thing for the girls to
become engaged to the pupils of the
boys school and get married and
found happy homes. After his posi-
ton has been warmly challenged by
the ladies' federation representative,
L. C. Spooner of Morris went after
the reverend gentleman for advo-
eating the intermarriage of those
criminally inclined. Mr.. Spooner
read from the board of controls
report Of 1901, showing that it
wanted the change then. He spoke
of the mayor of Red Wings ad-
dress, in which he alluded to the
training school as a toy that was
being taken away from them. He
said that the mayor had forgotten
that these poor unfortunate girls
were wards of the state and not the
toy of the people of Red Wing. This
was not to remove the
present schools, but was to make a
new home for the poor unfortunate
girls of the state. The ladies of the
women's federation had simply TAX
en- up this work and were carrying
it forward. These 1000 women Of
the federation were working for a
conscience, satisfied at having done
their duty.

The possession of wealth has
brought family trouble to Mrs.
Mary Baker Eddy much the same as
it is apt to do with more ordinary
people. The statements in the papers
are somewhat conflicting, but none
of them reflect much credit on Mrs.

for fear they will not get their share
of Mrs. Bakers earthly possessions.

to the statement of the Daily Star

Minnesota's forestry resources are
something better than an orna-
mental asset, according to recent
communication to the legislature
from State Auditor Iverson: Il
figure that the state owns 1,5OO, ,OOO,-
600, feet of standing timber" says
Mr.. Iverson. we sell only timber
that is liable to waste, but the re-
ceipts are fully S5OO,O00 a year. The
remaining timber is growing in
value, and also gaining by growth.
The cedar, spruce and tamarack,
which are a large proportion of the
timber, grow faster than the pine,
and it will average an increase of
5 per cent. a year by growth or
rs, 100000 feet. This means an in
crease Of 100000 to 100000 year
to the states resources, just by the
growth OF the standing timber. 1t
is certainly worth while to spend
$4,000 in field work for looking
after wealth of this magnitude, scat
tered as it is all over the northern
portion of the state

LIKES LIFE IN SEATTLE.
Miss Margaret Stewart Enjoys Life at
the Pacific Metropolis.

ED. GAZETTE: / have been very
much interested in letters written
for The GAZETTE from different
Redwoodites now in the west.
have not seen any from Seattle, the
city of the west | shall not attempt
to tell you much about it, but just
mention some of the things that i'm
pressed me most.
When | came here first | heard a
great deal about the Seattle Spir-
it." Some one told me that it
meant get rich quick, | soon real
lied that a great many possessed
that spirit. On the street cars, in
snatches of conversation that heard
on the street and even in church,
| heard something about salaries,
investments and tide lands. Women
as well as men seem to be wild over
making money. A lady who was
stranger to me, one evening at a
lecture, asked me if | were inter-
ested in real estate. | told her that
| had heard a great deal about it
and inquired if she were real
estate agent. She said that she was
not, but had a good thing. She
bought lot last spring for $3.50
and was now selling it for $1,000.
A man paid $3.50 for a lot which
recently sold for $500. Every day
we hear about people doubling in
vestments in a short time.
The city, as you know, is growing
very fast. Buildings seem to spring
up in a night time and the town
seems to be spreading out in all
directions. All the suburban towns
are being annexed and the popula-
ton of Seattle is about 225, 1000.
You have heard a great deal about
the delightful climate that we have
here. 1t is hard for a Minnesotiar
to understand how pleasant it is.
have been here two years and fee
as if the last winter that | spent
was in Minnesota. At first | was
impressed with the monotony, ne
wind nor electric storms, but sun
shine all summer long. In the win
ter we start out in the rain every
morning, but do not mind it. The
people that we meet look happy anC
say that if there were not grea
deal of rain that there would be
much sickness. The grass is greer
and the roses are in bud all winter
hope that some of you will take
advantage of the C. E. convention
rates this summer and come to Sc
attic. There are SO many beautiful
places about here that | know thai
you would find it worth while. The
water, with its shipping, the snow
capped mountains beyond and the
great trees make scenery that is
hard to describe. Many people &C
mountain climbing, fishing or to the
beach near by every summer fol
a summer outing / think there are
few places that can equal this.
am now teaching in the Seattle
schools and like it very much. The
hours are shorter and the salary
better than in the east. Teacher
are hired by the year and are pait
each month, including vacation. TIL
lowest salary paid a grade teacher
$720 and the highest is $3.50 year
Principals and high school teacher
are paid much better. Some teach
! ers are here from Minnesota an
many from the far east.
