A SECTION OF DESTINY.
Northern Minnesota as Viewed BY
Editor Reynot(is, Of Maokato.

AOsCOS sSSysSs>.oS W "sSssssASsSVs
E. Reynolds, editor of the Man.
kato Free Press, who recently
visited Northern Minnesota, pub.
lished a lengthy account of his i'm.
pressions of thefuture of this rich
section, of which the following is a
part:
"Northern Minnesota is land of
promise, of almost limitless re-
sources OF unmeasurable possibili-
ties. Its future greatness is as
sured. There is no guess work
wrapped around its development.
There is no drawback attached to
its industrial growth and expan-
sion, and above all it has the max
ings of the finest dairy country in
the United States, if not in the
world. 1t is destined to become the
great agricultural section of the
Northwest. Those who have never
visited that vast domain, which lies
north, northeast and northwest of
the Twin Cities have no apprecia-
ton of the immense amount of
wealth that must come from the
bowels of the earth, the tim ber, and
the soil, the >productiveness of
which is a surprise to those who
investigated crop conditions. There
is room in that north country for
thousands upon thousands of peo:
pie, and the day is not far distant
when immigration will move swift
ly in direction and the land will be
made to blossom as the rose. There
are riches in store for those who do
settle up and develop Northern
Minnesota.
"An inspection of Northern Min
nesota will convince any good
Judge of conditions that the country
is worthy of all the good things
said of it. Far be it from me to ex-
aggerate and to paint picture
which is unreal. At the present
time much Of: the country is in a
primitive state, but I venture the
prediction that not many years
hence the traveller will find it

comes from mans Efforts

Miles Hotel and Other Structures Thus
Far DESTROYED.


At about $50 this morning came
reports of a disastrous conflagra-
tion at Hibbing and a call for the
Virginia and Eveleth departments
to come and assist in quelling the
blaze, which threatened the de-
struction of the town, was respond
ed to by Chief Stevens and men at
1890 a. m.
From meagre reports received it
appears the fire started in the Miles
Hotel, the finest block on the range,
at an early hour this morning, de-
stroying the $125yOW structure and
communicating to the buildings to
the east.
As we 60 to press, at p. NJ, word
comes from the Office of the Ore at
Hibbing that the fire is under con-
troll, after wiping out the entire
block to the east of the Miles, en-
failing an estimated loss of quar-

Rainy Lake Road viii lnaugurate Win
:nipeq Service on That Date.

| Labor conditions have made il
possible for the Duluth, Rainy Lake
& Winnipeg railroad to rush the
work on it's extension to Rainier and
cross the Canadian border, and
officials of the road announced
yesterday that through trains from
Duluth to Winnipeg could be put
on by Feb. 1.
Construction work on the line be-
tween Virginia and Rainier will be
finished by the middle of Decem-
Der. The bridge across the Rainy
river will not be completed by that
time, however, and it will be i'm
possible to make direct connections
with the Canadian Northern until
that is finished. The company had
not planned to put the final touches
to the structure until late in the
spring, but work has been pushed
to such good advantage that it
seems a certainty now that the
bridge will be in shape by Feb. 1.
Through train service to Rainier
will not be inaugurated at once, but
trains will be run between there
and Virginia, making connections
with those from Duluth. Passen-
gers may leave Duluth at TAO a. m.
and reach Rainier at GAS; they will
reach Duluth at 3:45. This schedule
will be put in force Dec. Is, when
the line has been completed.
As soon as connections are made
with the Canadian Northern in
February through service will be
established between Duluth, and
Winnipeg.-News Tribune.

The NoveIist's Mission,

The neglect Of Disraeli's writings
may be in part due to the fact that
most people think it is below the
dignity of a statesman or OF any
man following what is called ''se-
rious" profession to compose works
of fiction. Certainly many do not
yet understand that the man who
writes novels may be very wise
man. They do not realize that &C
curately to portray human nature
and to present pictures of life is not
only a most worthy but also a most
difficult task, requiring for its per-
Torrance an intelligence far above
the average acute powers of OBJ
servation and keen sense of hui
NOR, for surely the great novelist
is the observer sounding the depths
while others glance at the surface
and examining the mysteries of life
while others are content to over
look even the obvious.-Melville's

Animal Maternal Instinct.

II have young retriever, gentle,
we'll bred, handsome" says CORE
spondent Of an English paper. t'Her
kindly disposition has won her much
popularity, and she is loved by the
family cat, the green Amazon par
rot and the village children. A few
days ago some poor little superhu-
Gus Aberdeen puppies had to be
drowned. But when the man went
to get the little bodies to give them
a decent burial two had mysterio us-
ly vanished from the pail in which
they had found watery grave. For
long time we searched in vain,
much puzzled at the unaccountable
disappearance, until a servant vol
unteered the information that Mag
gle had two little dogs in her bed
And here we found them, two little
corpses, licked clean and dry and
gently laid side by side on the straw.
She had fished them out of the pail,
carried them there and apparently
done all she could to revive them.
She has never had any puppies of
her own, so this seems curious in
stance of maternal instinct"

AustraIia,s Caves.

The Narracoote caves, in south
Australia, are situated in the south
eastern portion of the state, the
principal chamber, known as the
"big cave,'' with its magnificent
profusion of beautiful stalactites
and stalagmites, forming dazzling
spectacle when Illuminated by the
magnesium light. In second cham
Der, or cave, nature has been prod
igal of the mystical ornament with
which the whole place abounds.
There are pillars so finely formed
and covered with such dainty trel-
lis work, curious drippings Of lime
creating such wonderful masses Of
lovely scroll work, that the eye is
bewildered with the extent and rari-
ty of the adornment. It is like a
palace of ice, with a rich profusion
of frozen silvery cascades and foun-
tains all around. Western Austria
liza possesses also a couple of ex-
tensive cave systems which fairly
rival those Of New South Wales,
Queensland and south Australia.

How Silver Mines Form.

The process by which nature
forms her silver mines is very in
teresting. It must be remembered
that the earth's crust is full of wa
ter, which percolates everywhere
through the rocks, making solutions
of elements obtained from them.
These solutions take up small par
ticles of precious metal which they
find here and there. Sometimes the
solutions in question are hot, the
water having got so far down as to
be set boiling by the internal heat
Of the globe. Then they rush up
ward, picking up the bits of metal
as they go. Naturally heat assists
the performance of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus
formed, perpetually flowing hither
and thither below the ground, pass
through cracks or cavities in the
rocks, where they deposit their lodes
OF silver.

He Wasn't Excited.

In Sullivan county, N. Y, a story
is told which had to do with man
who was picking blackberries when
he saw black bear coming his way,
nose to the ground and, as he
thought, following his trail. He
put the bucket down hurriedly and,
selecting handy tree, made for it
with the intention of shining up
to nice strong limb, prepared to
stand a siege. Along came the bear,

on the ground with his arms and
legs wrapped around the tree trunk.

A Good Memory.

Of the late genial. and kindly
hearted Henry Burch it is told that
a good many years ago, while he
held the position of janitor of Trim
ity Methodist Episcopal church, the
minister one summer Sunday morn
ing delivered a sermon which, it
appears, had been given by him
once before, perhaps two or three
years previous.
On the Sunday in question and
during the progress of the sermon
a violent thunderstorm came up,
which created some little nervous
ness among the congregation.
After the services were over and
as the minister was about to leave
the building he met the janitor.
Henry" said he, "that was a
pretty severe storm while I was
preaching this morning."

Festival Of the Dolls.

A curious custom of the Japanese
is that of the observance of GER
tain day in April of each year called
dolls day, or the festival of the
dolls.
On this day all the girls and wom-
en- array themselves in gaudy attire,
and the mother of each household
adorns the family room in gay col
ors. Then the little girls dress all
their dolls, old and new, in their
best Sunday clothes and prop them
up about the walls. In the after
noon a great feast is prepared, os-
tensibly for the benefit of the dolls,
though the repast is actually con-
sumed by the grown folks in the
evening. Japan is the only country
that has such festivity.

ROBERT BURNS.
The Poets First Love and HE Verses
In Her Praise.

In Her Praise. IT,,
Robert Burns, the Scottish poet,
was born at Mount Oliphant, Jan.
rs, 1859, near Ayr, in a clay built
cottage reared by his fathers own
hands. When lad of eighteen the
family moved to Lochlea. His first
three or four years at Lochlea were
still with the poet times of inno-
cence, and ''his conduct was govern
ed by the strictest rules of virtue
and modesty." At last he set his
affections on young woman named
Ellison Begbie, the >.au. ter Of
small farmer, and asked her to be
his wife, but he could not prevail on
her to marry him, and t:lis disap-
pointment had a malign influence
over the poet. Long aiterward,
when he had seen muc.,l of the
world, Burns spoke of this girl as,
of all those on whom he ever fixed
his tickle affections, the one most
likely to have made a pleasanter
partner for Life. 1t was to her he
addressed the pure and beautiful
love lyric ''Mary Morison," and in
these lines the lyric genius Of
Burns was for the first time unde-
niably revealed:
Yestrsen when to the trembling string
The dance gaed through the lighted ha'
To thee my fancy took it's wing.
I sat- but neither heard nor saw,
Though this was fair and that was Draw
And yon the toast Of a. the town.
I sighed and said amang them a.,
EYE are nae Mary Morison.''
Oh. Mary. canst thou wreck his peace
VIVA for thy sake would gladly dee?
Or canst thou break that heart of his
Whase only fault is loving thee?
II love for love thou wilt not gle,
At least be pity to me shown.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Promptness and Po!iteness In Answer.
ing Dinner Invitations.

There was once great man,
whose name l have forgotten, but
it is not important to this nara
tive, who gave his son this bit of
social advice: "Answer a dinner in
vitation within twenty-four hours
after you receive it. If you accept,
let nothing short of your death pre-
vent your going, and if you die ar
range for substitute in your will.
Whatever you do, for heavens sake
be prompt in the doing"
Along the same lines was note
received by certain Washington
hostess from the valet of an attache
of one of the legations, IN.
regrets that he cannot come to Mrs.
DIS dinner, but he died last night"
Now, funeral in the family is
usually accepted as very good rea-
son for not doing anything, but lit
tie short of one can excuse lack
Of punctuality in matters social.
Whatever you are, be prompt.
A few years back it was consider
ed rather nice thing to come in
just a little late. Girls going to
balls spoke with pride Of being
among - last arrivals. Novelists
who would chronicle the doings Of
the smart set got into the fashion
of opening their choicest chapters
with vision of the hostess and
those of her guests who were un-
derbred or unfortunate enough to
have arrived on time sitting in de-
jected state awaiting The honored
guest of the evening, who always
made it point to appear just ff-
teen minutes after the hour set in
the card of invitation, but eve have
changed alfthat."
Punctuality, the politeness of
kings, is once more to the fore. If
you want to be popular with those
who entertain, answer your invita-
tions as soon as you receive them.
