FEAST OF LIGHTS"
 TO BE OBSERVED HERE

The holiday ''Hanukkah," or the Feast of Lights, will be observed by the peo- ple of Jewish faith next Monday, Decem- Der 26. The holiday is commemorative of the victory of Hebrasm over the Greek civilization and religion following the conquest of the Orient by Alexander the Great about 16s B. c.
 The following information regarding the holiday has been issued:
 "The Feasts of Lights, or the Feast of Dedication Cknown in Hebrew as Han ukkah') will occur December 26 It is g. holiday of deep and far-reaching sig nficance. Tho modern Jew conlmemor- stes in this midwinter festival one of the most momentous periods and victories in all his or universal history.
 .eThe year 1ss B. C. found the spiritual forces of Hellenism and Hebraism In sharp conflict. The Greek civilization followed Alexanders conquering army into the Orient. A division of his great empire upon his death among his gen erals brought Judea, after few decades, under the domination of Antiochus, King of Syria. Driven by the frenzied idea that political unity was dependent upon enc religion and one language in his do- minions, the mad king proceeded to force Greek customs, gods, speech and worship upon Judea Spanish and Russian per secution finds here it's stupid and sui cidal prototype. The king failed to count upon the valor and resistance of his enc my. The gauntlet was thrown down. The issue was drawn. The Jew rushed to arms. It was fight for existence. l. was a fight for freedom to worship God. It was a fight of love against Jehovah of the sensuous ideal of beauty against the prophetic righteousness, of polythesm against montheism. The spiritual desti- nies of the world were hanging in the balance. The Jew was fighting the bat tie for humanity

GRASSHOPPERS
 MADE JIM HILL
Gave the Opportunity for Big
 Fortune Building
DARED TO VENTURE
n sOnx-Oceans of Water Poured Into Venture-Deal
 Cleared Millions

Grasshoppers made James J. Hill the biggest railroad Siug in America and at the same time brought him the major part of his reputed wealth of $10OO0O,OO0.
 If 1t hadn't been fpr the grasshoppers Jim Hill might today be selling coal and wood in his little store down on the levee at St. Paul, Minn.
 The grasshoppers did their work along in '75-6-7. when countless billions of them ate the farmers of the west and north west out of their houses and homes; no crop was raised; the country was lit orally eaten up by the swarning grass hoppcrs, and Jim Hill wa1 just a-saw- ing wood :n St. Paul.
 The St. Paul and Pacific railroad had no freight to carry, the grasshoppers having beaten it to everything on the farm, and the railroad couldn't pay the interest on its bonds held by Dutch cap italists.
 Hill, with Donald Smith, afterwards Lord Strathcona, and George Stephen. afterward Lord Mountstephen, got It into their heads that the grasshoppers couldn't go on forever; that some day the farms would again be loading freight  rails would again be valuable.
 Stephen went over to Holland and for 40 cents got an option upon all of the bonds owned over there at about 80 cents On the dollar.
 With three more canny Scotchmen they raised S2S3,00O and then one night every last grasshopper took wings and flew away. Nobody has ever learned to where they went or why they went; the next
 ron1dnft have found one with a search warrant and mag nifying glass.
 Hill got busy taking farmers back to their deserted farms. He couldn't get enough cars to haul them back in time for that years crop and in the fall he couldn't get enough cars to carry their crops to the market.
 .'In four years" wrote John Moody and George Kibbe Turner in the December McClure's, their investment was worth S40. 0.0o0, 000"
 Year by year their pile grew, miles iron miles of rails were stretched out throughout the great northwest. It grew to be the Great Northern and Northern Pacific; Morgan got his finger in the rich pickings and everybody waxed fat and prosperous except those on the outside, or course. A new set or mlliioNaires was made.
 Oceans of water was poured into the venture until Hill once remarked that the whole of Lake Michigan was in It. Today all that water is paying huge div idends, and the canny coal and wood dealer of St. Paul levee is the undisputed boss of over 10000 miles of rails, capital ized at over SesO O,oOO, OOO earning every year nearly s200,OO0,000.
 The grasshoppers' part was to bank rupt the old St. Paul and Pacific, other wise Hill could never have gotten pos session of it with his then very limited financial backing, and their leaving just after Hill had obtained the option was to say the least, very accommodating to the American ''empire builder"
 But still Hill doesn't like the grass hoppers. He has a man employed whose chief duty it Is to tell the farmers along the Hill roads how to keep out the grass hoppers and their cousins the locusts.

 "The older I get,'' said the retail butcher the less l read the daily pa pers. Too many distressing happenings are reported nowadays"

 And the customer paid the same old price for bacon.

appropriating $4,000 for Custer me-
mortal, and officers and soldiers who
had served in the first brigade of cav
airy raised in the Wolverine State dur
ing the civil war were instrumental in
securing its adoption. The governor
appointed three officers who had serv-
ed In the Michigan brigade-Colonel
George g. Briggs, General J. II. Kidd
and Lieutenant 3. Nims-to select a
sculptor, and they chose Mr.. Potter.
They had seen his fine equestrian stat
ne of General Slocum at Gettysburg
and were satisfied that he could model
not only soldier, but could place him
on an animal worthy Of cavalryman.
1t was the generals custom to form
his command in line for a charge, then
ride rapidly toward his previous re-
connoissance, an eminence If possible,
run his eye along the position OF the
enemy, then. having grasped the stu
alton, charge back and give the order
to advance at a gallop. 1t is claimed
that few were so quick in thought and
decision and comprehension In taking
in all sides of question or a situation.
With this characteristic in mind as
an inspiration Mr.. Potter went to
work. and be tins given US a striking
figure. The horse has been halted
suddenly by a frightened rein, his feet
planted firmly together, while the rider
surveys the line of the enemy for one
intense instant, his hat clasped in his
hand, that its broad brim might not
obstruct the view: the horse spirited,
but with sympathy and understanding,
as officers horses so often are after
such intimate daily companionship.
Both borse and man are young. alert,
confident. The statue is heroic in size

Dyinq TO Order.

Dying to order is one of the most
sacred customs of the American In
dian. Many years ago Standing Elk
went to Major James Mclaughlin. the
author of my Friend the Indian" and
said, Father. my wife will die today,
and she wants a coffin from you"
The major asked him what the all
ment was, and he replied:
"Just nothing but that she heard the
ghosts calling and must 60"
Somebody had told her, it turned
out, that she was sick. so she had
painted for DEATH" and all her rela-
tives had gathered about to bemoan
her-and incidentally divide her prop
erty as soon as she was dead. There
was no use in the majors arguing
about it, so he had the coffin made.
In many cases those painted for
death" are actually bullied into dying.
but Mrs. Standing Elk was still too
vigorous. Finally in despair she car
ried the coffin into the house on her
own shoulders. and several years later
the major saw it still standing on end
In her house. Shelves had been. fitted
