A LOVE TRAGEDY.

RusI<in's Alteration Of the Lovely Rose
la 1ouche.
In 1853, when Ruskin was in his
fortieth year, he was asked by friend
to give some lessons in drawing to a
child named Rose La Touche. whose
name. indeed, was French. but whose
family were Irish. There sprang up
between Ruskin and this young girl a
very charming friendship. which. of
course. at the time could be nothing
but a friendship. They wrote each
other letters and exchanged drawings,
and then for awhile they did not meet.
Ten years passed by before they saw
each other. Meanwhile the child.
whom he had remembered as blue
eyed. saucy,- clever little blond with
ripe red lips and hair like fine spun
gold. had become very lovely young
woman Of nineteen. They resumed
their old acquaintance. but in a very
different way. Though Ruskin was
now nearly fifty. he gave to Rose La
Touche an alteration and a passion
such as he had never felt before. On
her side she no longer thought Of him

drawn to him despite the difference
in their years.
The two met often. They took long
strolls together in the pleasant fields
of Surrey, and at last Ruskin begged
her to make him happy and to be his
wife. Oddly enough. however, she hes
itated. not because he was SO much
older than herself. but because he bad
ceased to be what she regarded as "a
true believer" Some of the things
that he had written shocked her as
being almost atheistic. She was her

Bible in her ordinary talk. and wher

At last. in 1872, when she was twen-
ty-four and he was ffty-three. she
gave him her final answer. She would
not marry him unless he could believe
as she did. His honesty forbade him
to deceive her by a pretended CONVEX
sion, and so they parted. never to see
each other again. How deeply she was
affected is shown by the fact that she
soon fell i'll. She grew worse and
worse until at last it was quite certain
that she could not live. Then Ruskin
wrote to her and begged that he might
see her. She answered with a note in
which she feebly traced the words:
You may come If you can tell me
that you love God more than you love
me-"
When Ruskin read this his very soul
was racked with agony, and he cried
out:

very LARGE HOTEL
BEING Built at st. Paul Now at
Cost of a Million
Dollars.
IT HAS UNIQUE FEATURES

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 1.-THE new
81 100000 Saint Paul hotel, which is
nearing completion, is to have an addi-
ton of 10000 square feet even before
its opening, to care for the business in
sight. Ground has been broken for an
annex which will occupy a corner close
to the new structure on which a hand
some three-story building will be erect
ed at once. providing for large sample
rooms for travelling representatives Of
business houses. The innovation pro-
vides a separate building for sample
rooms, which will be finished with spe-
cial reference to the demands of this
class of trade.
Charles G. Roth resident manager,
has arrived from Cincinnati and has
taken charge of the new property,
which is rapidly nearing completion
The new Saint Paul has 800 rooms,
each with private bath and owing to
its add location. every room will be an
outside room, and every room practic-
ally a front room. Rooms which do
not face upon two main streets, have
an outlook over Rice park. one of the
most attractive downtown breathing
spots. The site for the new structure
was given by the business men of ST.
Paul. The building and furnishings
represent an expenditure of 81 900, 900,
added to which is the cost of the new
three-story building. The building
is eleven stories in height. occupying
very high ground, overlooking the city
and upon it's roof are sun parlors. a
roof garden and the first wireless sta
ton in the northwest. The outlook
from the roof Is over the Mississippi
valley in both directions. giving a bet.
ter view of Saint Paul and its sur.
roundings than is obtainable from any
other point excepting the lantern OF
the dome Of the new Minnesota state
capitol.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Senate
will follow a go-as-you-please program
from now until after the holiday recess.
1t is not the purpose of the leaders to
undertake any legislation of import
ance during the coming week and
when the senate meets again on Tues
day 1t is expected an adjournment will
be taken until Friday. The sessions on
both days are likely to be brief and de-
voted to routine business unless some
thing should happen in connection with
the Nicaraguan situation which would
demand attention. It is probable that
the most noteworthy matter considered
next week will be the resolution offer
ed yesterday by Senator Rayner Of
Maryland, empowering the president
to bring President Zelaya to justice for
the killing of Groce and Cannon in
Nicaragua.
Has Studied Subject.
The Maryland senator has devoted
much attention to this subject and had
a long conference with Secretary
the circumstances attending the killing
OF Groce and Cannon before he offered
his resolution in the senate. He is
very much In earnest in the matter
and has given notice that he will ad-
dress the senate some time next week
on the question. Just what steps
President Taft should take to bring
Zelaya to trial and punishment IS
Somewhat Of problem, but Senator
Rayner believes that whatever force it
is necessary to exert to obtain justice
for this offense should be used. 1t is
likely that the resolution will be
passed.
There is also a possibility that the
Borah resolution authorizing an inves-
tigation, of the civil service by com
mittee of the senate may be reported
and acted upon.

PRACTICAL COOPERATION.

~0-0I6nS% buONs
A number Of farmers living near
Rogers. in Hennepin county, Mimi.
have. according to q farm paper pub
lished at the Twin Cities, put into
practice this year most commenda-
bic type of cooperation. 1t has con-
sisted simply IN getting their heads
together and agreeing to plant single
variety of potatoes for their field crop.
with the thought in view that with a
large quantity Of potatoes raised buy
ers would come and offer good price
for the crop. They exercised a good
deal of pains in the growing and care
Of their spud crop. and their hopes
have been fully realized. The tubers
yielded on the average It's bushels per
acre. were of one variety and of uni
form size and quality. The buyers
came and paid the growers 46 cents
per bushel at the cars. nearly 10 cents
more than growers in many other sec
tons received. This idea of co-opera-
ton In vegetable and fruit production
is very practical and profitable. and it's
benefits can hardly be too strongly
urged.

Pity it is that there are not more
farm papers of the type of a few

lowed a temporizing policy-opposed
the testing of dairy herds because the
immediate loss to the owners seemed
heavy-have caused dairymen who
have followed this advice tremendous
loss in the long run, as laws which
prevent the sale Of milk from dis

SOME TUBERCULOSIS STATISTICS

SOME TUBERCULOSIS STATISTICS
Probably no state in the Union has
made a more determined or more sue
cessful warfare on bovine tuberculosis
than Wisconsin. and some figures
which have been lately published re!a-
tive to this campaign are interesting
and should also be profitable to dairy
men in other sections. The education
al campaign has been conducted by
means Of addresses. printed bulletins
and postmortem demonstrations given
In cooperation with the state live
stock sanitary board. Since the tuber-
cuiin test was first applied, in 1892.
72.63S animals have been tested. over
$4,000 Of this number coming within
the past three years. The state has
paid the owners two-thirds Of the ap-
praised value Of reacting animals. re-
ceiving in return whatever was paid
for the carcasses OF those animals
passed by the federal inspectors. There
has been a decrease in the per cent
Of reacting animals from ia per cent
in 1908 to Sc per cent in 1908. In 1906
almost half the herds which were test
ed were found infected. while in 1908
less than one-fourth had the disease.
In 1906 II per cent Of the animals
tested were found to be infected, and
in 1908 less than 4 per cent. The data
which the station officials have gath
cred shows that the most common
method Of herd infection is through
the purchase Of diseased animals, 263
out of 1863 herds found infected in
1908 being infected through purchase.
A law requiring clean bill OF health
with each animal sold is strongly
urged. as is also legislation requiring
