The play compels the interest of the

ONE NIGHT

(From Fergus Falls Daily Journal
November 2. 1908:
The presentation of "The Devil" by
Ernest Fisher drew crowded house at
the Lyceum Saturday evening aud was
one of the best plays thar has appeared
here in several years, This is said to
have been this company's first presenta-
ton of the play, but the members are
artists, Mr.. Fisher himself being especi-
ally strong. The scene of the play is
laid in Vienna, and his Satanic majesty
masquerading in human form, infiu-
ences the actions of the various char
acters, making very strong play. The
plot is something new and the PLAY is a
pleasant change from the ordinary
melodrama. 1t is somewhat on the
comedy order and furnished ample
scope for an excellent display of talent.

Like q cloud, a great golden cloud, a
glory impending that will not cannot,
be dissolved into the ether, he (Ram-

dead; he looms over the Egypt of to-

everywhere you hear his name You
say to tall young Egyptian, "How
big you are growing, Hassany'
He answers, Come back next year,
my gentleman, and i shall be like Ram

Or you ask Of the boatman who rows
you, How can you pull alkday against
the current OF the NileT And he
smiles, and, lifting his brown arm, he
says to you, Look; I am as strong as
Rameses the Great"
This familiar fame comes down
through some 3.220 years. Carved
upon limestone and granite, now It
seems engraven also on every Bgyp-
tian. heart that beats not only with the
movement Of shadoof or is not buried
In the black soil fertilised by Hapi.
Thus can inordinate vanity prolong

pressed the children Of Israel.-Robert

The raising of mulberry trees, silk COG coons and eggs offers field just fitted for that class of people whose means and sertngeht are limited.
 Among others of that class is Ser geant Louis Lauer, at present enjoying a rest at the Soldiers home near here. During the War of the Rebellion he served very creditably in Company c, Forty-third Illinois Infantry.
 He is tall German with an insatia- ble proclivity for experimenting in az riculture-eggplant, guaves, peanuts and tomatoes having successively held his attention. Now this venerable expert menter has turned his attention to the development of mulberry trees, as a side employment, or, "just to prevent idle ness," he says.
 Despite the disadvantage of being "half man and half tree" Gas the old song describes the man with wood en leg), and the burden of 70 years, this plucky soldier has, aided by the government, established plantation of
