In the forests there is wealth, the

more valuable forests that add to the

by the fact that the area OF forest be-

WAGNER TO HIS FIRST WIFE.

Letters of Great Musician Throw
Light ON His Unhappy Life.
The musical world, says the book re-
viewer of the London Morning Post
is once more indebted to Ashton Ellis
for contributions to the Wagner lit
erature. The subject of his latest vol
ume is the letters written by Richard
Wagner to his first wife Minna, the
name by which he called the actress
Christine Wilhelmine Planer, to whom
ne was married at the age Of 23 at
Magdeburg in 1886. Minna Wagner
died in 1866, after she had been sep
arated from her husband for about
four years. 1t is question whether
she was ever united to him in that
bond of sympathy and interest which
should exist between husband and
wife. The whole story is extremely
sad and painful. When promoted from
the post of chorusmaster at Wurzburg
to that of conductor at Magdeburg in
1884 Wagner met Minna Planer. who
was engaged at the theater as an ac-
tress for juvenile partsg She was in
reality his senior by three and half
years, although she claimed to be of
the same age. The marriage itself
was inauspicious, for 1t took place
while Wagner was out of an engage
ment. The wife very soon began to
exercise an influence over her hus-
band. Had she been a woman of in
tellect and education, or possibly of
insight and sympathy, matters might
have been different, but she was, Mr..
Ellis tells us, the daughter of me-
chanic and brought up in degree of
ignorance that did not permit of her
acquiring knowledge of how to write
until she had reached maturity.
The letters, of which there are 269
In the two volumes, unfold a very
unhappy story of willful misunder
standing and wild imaginings on the
part of Wagner's unsympathetic wife.
In fact, save for the light they throw
on the character of great man, they
would be but the reopening of chap
ter of extreme sadness. They show
an unfagging spirit of consideration
and forgiveness on the part of Wagner
perhaps too much consideration and
forgiveness for the shortcomings of a
nature like that Of Minna Wagner.
Apart from the fact that the letters
are addressed to his wife they contain
much detail hitherto lacking with re-
gard to the early days, and herein we
must consider that their value lies
AS record of the relations between
husband and wife, the one with his
way to make along difficult path of
his own creating, and the other deter
mined beforehand to oppose him at
every step, it is all almost too painful.
The student of physiognomy will, how
ever, find an explanation of Minnas
nature in the portrait given in the sec
ond volume, and will be able to judge
from the portrait of Wagner himself
which prefaces the first volume how
unlikely 1t was that there could ever
be perfect accord between the two ma.
lures.

WOMEN OF THE ARCTIC CIRCLE

Cabins Miles from So-Called Civil
fxation Homes of Happiness.
Every spring hundreds of brides
journey to Alaska and fully as many
young women 60 north, with more or
less trepidation, to be married, 80 that
the number Of homes in the neighbor-
hood of the arctic circle grows larger
each year, Frances Sterrett says In the
Housekeeper. The trepidation only
lasts while the brides are "cheechalk-
os,", or tenderfeet. After they have
watched the ice go out and are real
sour doughs," they want no sympathy
because fate sent them to country
where coal is $50 ton and lemons
a dollar dozen. You cannot find an
Alaskan who will find fault with Al
aska, and so, as every one Is satisfied,
the mining camps at Dawson, Fair
banks and Nome, or the cabins out
along the creeks, miles and miles from
what we call civilization, hold only
happy housekeepers, women who know
more about canned goods and what can
be done with tin Of beans than any
body on either continent.
Everything that comes to their doors
is canned, milk, eggs and potatoes, as
well as the vegetables that we all use.
In the larger camps fresh vegetables
are brought in by steamer in the sum-
mer until the shops bloom with
wealth Of succulent green things, but
only the anecdotes of these delicactes
reach "the creeks The gardens ut
Dawson are famous, for almost any
vegetable will grow If the housewife
will bother to plant it. Although the
season is so short the sun shines night
and day and the cabbage keeps the
same working hours.
Condensed milk is the arctic house
keepers standby and you would not
believe how much was used unless you
saw the pile of empty tins. Every
woman has to learn to make mullins
and cake all over again until she
knows just the proportions of milk and
water that will produce the light and
feathery result Canned eggs offer
similar course of study and so do
timed potatoes to the woman who
must serve three palatable meals day
from canned or dried foods.
1t is a wild, free life these arctic
women live. They know how to shoot
and can keep the larder replenished
when the men are busy. The can also
take a big pan of pay gravel and wash
it until the specks of gold are free
from dirt. In their fur parki and
muckluks they can trot beside the dog

the Journey of several hundred miles
is over they can play Mendelssohn or
Chopin on the piano that takes up half
the room in the little cabin

Another Kind of Address.

A man named Brown was invited
to speak at town meeting, and when
he seated himself on the platform and
looked over the program he discovered
that his name was the last one Con-
sidering himself somewhat of AN i'm
portant parsonage, this fact made Mr.
Brown exceedingly angry, and during
the entire meeting he sat and thought
over the insult.
The speakers during the evening
were unusually stupid and by the time
Mr.. Browns turn came the audience
was paying seant attention.
The master of ceremonies finally
stood UP to introduce the last speaker,
saying as he did SO, Ladies and gen.
tlemen, my esteemed friend, Mr..
Brown, will now favor us with his
address"
Certainly" said Mr.. Brown, spring
ing to his feet, his face purple with
indignation. my address is Clare
mont street, Seattle, Washington. Now.
goodnight, I'm going home!"

Weeds and Flowers.

The big dahlias in mothers garden
were withered by the frost, even the
little red asters were dull and wilted.
and Philip and Doris Grant looked
about anxiously, for it was fathers
birthday, and they had thought out a
nice surprise for him. They wanted
to put border of flowers all round
the dinner table, so that when he
came in he would ask, who did
ihat?" And then mother would say,
The children"
Back of the garden was field
which sloped down to the brook, anj
he children walked slowly across the
ield. They had nearly reached the
brook when Doris called out, Look!
Look, Phillip" and pointed toward a
bunch of fine yellow blossoms.
Those are weeds!" said Philip.
"Just yellow weeds. They grow every
where, by the road and all along the
brook"
''But they are as fine as the garden
blossoms" said the little girl Prob
ably they don't want to be weeds.
P'r'aps it's just like some children
who don't have anybody to love them,
and have to grow up where they can.
You know Aunt Sue told us about
children that didn't have homes; and
| guess weeds are just blossoms that
don't have gardens"
They're pretty" agreed Philip. And
then they began picking the yellow
blossoms.
That night, when Mr.. Grant came in
to dinner, he looked at the table with
the lovely sprays of yellow blossoms
all about 1t.

you selected goldenrod. l think it
ought to be our national flower"

Philip

D|sOWMED HER BABY

WAS SENT BACK TO EUROPE

New York, July "a pathetic case
of mother refusing to recognize her
own child was called yesterday to the
attention OF the immigration authori-
ties at Ellis Island on the arrival in
port of the Noordam from Rotterdam.
When the ship was in midocean. Ce-
ella Dudonasfski, second cabin
passenger gave birth to baby boy.
The newcomer was a buster and soon
after its presence aboard had been
heralded became the Idol of the ship.
Its mother was unconscious some
twenty hours after the youngster had
made his advent, disowned it. AL
though desperately i'll, the woman in
sisted the baby belonged to her sister.
So firmly did she adhere TO this that
the child was taken TO the infirmary
in the first cabin and put on milk and
water diet The women passengers
made baby clothes for it from their
skirts and waists and by the time the
ship got into port presented the lit,
tie one with a full layette. Because OF
the position assumed by the mother
both will be returned to the port from
which the mother embarked.
