many, and Maria Theresa Succeeded
to the Austrian throne. Frederick
set up claim to Silesia and in a
short campaign succeeded in wrest-
ing that rich territory from Maria
Theresa and annexing it to the Prus-
sian dominions. His action, however,
plunged all Europe into bloody
war The conflict ragged by sea and
land in Italy, in Germany, and in
Flanders. ...
The war lasted till, in the year
174S, it was terminated by the treaty
of AiX-la-Chapelle. OF all, the pow
ers that had taken part in it. the on
ly gamer was Frederick. Not only
had he added to his patrimony the
fine province Of Silesia, but by his
consummate diplomacy he had sue
ceeded as we'll in alternately de-
pressing the scale of Austria and
that of France At the termination
of the struggle he was generally re-
garded as holding the balance of Eu-
rope-a high dignity for one whose
youth had held forth little promise
of greatness.
In 1856 commenced the Seven
Years war. the result Of which was
to raise the little state Of Prussia to
the front rank of European powers
But it was not in his wonderful mil
itary achievents alone that Frederick
| displayed his greatness. Through
out his career he displayed an infin-
! ite genius in promoting the welfare
of his country and his subjects. From
| the commencement of his reign he
applied himself to public business
after a fashion hitherto unknown
among kings. Every department of
his government received his personal
attention and the highest function
aries were as mere clerks under his
direction. In personal and public
affairs alike he practiced rigid econ
omy.
AS an administrator Frederick the
Great was without an equal. He ear
nestly labored to secure to his peo-
pie the great blessing of cheap and
speedy justice. Religious persecution
was unknown under his government.
He sought by every means to extend
the commercial industries of his
kingdom and from the beginning to
the end of his career he was a liberal
patron of the fine arts.
When he died, at the age of sew
enty-four, he left to his successors a
well-regulated state, a powerful ar
my, and a treasury we'll provided.

| left, in the words of the historian
Macauley, was the recollection of his
heroic and glorious acts, which in
subsequent times has continued to
operate upon his nation with all its
awakening power and heart-stirring
influence.

III GIVE EN- GOOD sEND-oFf
Camp Cook footed Funeral March to
Call Men to Diet Of
Wormy Pie.

"Hank" Peters, veteran fife major
Of the Civil war, has been cook in
lumber camp for score of years.
The old soldier has an irrepressible
sense of humor, and still preserves
the shrill fife which he used in many
battles.
A shipment of "grub" was received
at the lumber camp not long ago, n
which was box of coarse raisins.
When the cover was removed Hank
discovered that the dried fruit was
filed with worms and showed the box
aside to await orders for it's condem.
nation from the woods boss" When
the gruff old Scotchman arrived, how.
ever, he received the suggestion with
indignation. II.
Dump those raisins in the lake?''
he roared. "Ye'll do nawthin' o. the
kind. Bake some pies, ye lazy rascal.
I'm thinkin' that'll keel the worms,
an as for the boys, they're worm.

Without word Hank" baked the
pies. AS the "cookee'' was about to
take the long horn from above the
door and announce the evening meal,
the old cook stopped him and reached
for his fife. .--
I'll call the boys this evening"" he
said.
From the doorway the astonished
lumberjacks heard the old fife drone
the slow bars of a civil war funeral
march. AS he turned to re-enter the
shanty Hank" remarked to his as,
sistants:
If the boys have to eat that pie,
It's good send-off we'll be giving

SHOES MADE OF SNAKESKIN
Fashionable Women Of London Being
Tempted to Conquer Their
Aversion to Reptiles.

From all reptiles the ordinary WON.
an shrinks in disgust. Yet fashion.
able women are now being tempted
to conquer their aversion to the ex.
tent of wearing snakeskin shoes. One
OF the smartest boot shops in the
west end Of London is featuring
these shoes; but up to the present 1t
seems to be uncertain If the fashion
will really establish itself on wide.
spread lines. -.-....s
Choice of quite a variety of skins
is offered There is the dark and
heavily-marked skin of the deadly
cobra, or the lighter skin, with it's
more delicate pigment markings, of
the rapacious python. The skins of
the viper and the boa-constrictor have
also been made up
Snake skin is very soft, pliable, and
durable. The shoes are expensive,
OF course, for the skins are not too
plentiful, but this factor should rather
commend itself to smart people, as it
renders it much more diff1cult to copy
the fashion on cheap lines.

GERMANY EN- FETE.

All Prussia, and in fact nearly all
Germany, is Ell fete today for the
beginning Of the great celebration Of
the 2OOth anniversary of the birth
of Frederick the Great. From the
capital down to the smallest hamlet
ana village business is at a stand
still and the populace has given civ
-en itself up TO the joyousness of the
occasion.
The celebration in Berlin began
today with lecture at the War Aca-
denny on the prowess of Frederick the
Great as a general and strategist.
The lecture was attended by the En-
peror, who was surrounded by min
listers of state, generals of the army,
admirals Of the navy, and members
of the diplomatic corps, all in gilt
tering uniforms.
Tomorrow will be the big day Of
the bicentenary celebration. In the
morning the Emperor, attended by
the high officers of the Prussian ar
my, will participate in a solemn me-
mortal service in the old garrison
church at Potsdam, behind the altar
Of which Frederick the Great lies
buried in an iron casket.
Berlin will observe the day as a
public holiday. In the afternoon
there will be parades, regimental
celebrations and historical exercises.
The day will close with a military
gala opera. One of the principal
events will be the fete in the White
Hall of the Schloss, which will be
attended by delegations represent
ing all of the regiments which can
trace their origin back to Frederican
times. Each delegation will consist
of the commander of the regiment.
one lieutenant, the colors of the reg
iment, the color-bearer and one nom
commissioned officer.
The celebration of the day will not
be confined to the capital. In all the
principal cities and towns of Prus-
sia the municipalities and voluntary
citizens committees have made prep
arations for the day. In every school
the scholars will observe the day by
applauding patriotic addresses de-
livered by the principals and teach
ers and by recitation and singing.
Every scholar will be presented a
short history of Frederick the Great
Frederick, surnamed the Great.
whose memory is being honored by
the forty odd million inhabitants of
Prussia, is one of the dominant fig
ures in the history of Europe. He
was born January "a, 1712, and
when he was twenty-eight years old
succeeded his father, Frederick Will
liam as king Of Prussia. The char
acter of the young king was still
very imperfectly understood, when
events occurred which exhibited it
in a strong light.

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur

given up by scientists, many different
salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found that these salves
only clog the pores and cannot penetrate

where the eczema germs are lodged.

INDIANS MASSACRE
1000 PIONEERS.
A. f. PeltOn Returns After Fifty-five
Years and Tells Engagingly and
Thrillingly OF the Slaughter.

A. E. Pelton, of Mankato, MINI, is
visiting relatives and friends in Mon
ticello and vicinity and expects to
remain two weeks.
Mr.. Pelton went to Minnesota in
1858, or about 55 years ago, and has
lived in one place ever since. He
bought land at government prices
which today is valued on an average
of $3.50 per acre, and became an ex-
tensive farmer. He was engaged in
the defense of the settlers during the
Sioux Indian outbreak in 1862 when
the Indians massacred over 1000
pioneers, largely composed of women
and children.
The outbreak lasted several
