on the side, that they (the editors)
might be invited again and eat chick
EN-, strawberries and things.
Another thing that impresses the
visitor is the excellent roads. Itasca
county certainly has beat southern
Minnesota to it. The five mile stretch
between Grand Rapids and Cohasset
is like a city boulevard; it's said to be
the best public highway in the state
and believe it. A very fine stretch
of road nine miles long over which it
is pleasure to ride connects Grand
Rapids with Coleraine. There is an
excellent public highway from Coler-
aine to Duluth The towns and coun-
ties have plenty of money, coming
from the heavy taxes paid by the min
ing companies, who in turn cooperate
in every project for public better
ment.
The mines are the great sight for
the visitors. A description of these
and of the prosperous, down-to-the
minute mining towns, l defer for a
future article. 1t is a revelation to
the person who has never seen such
things before, to view what northern
Minnesota has to offer. The sights
are marvellous; the conditions unique:
the people as good as any on earth,
The northern Minnesotan sees large.
He talks in millions; he needs sec
ton to turn around in. He is proud
of his town, of his county, of north
ern Minnesota, business, of himself.
He is not quiet, retiring individu-
al: he is assertive, self reliant, ire
pressible, but withal one of the big
gest hearted, best fellows on earth:
to appreciate him you must know
him; to yet even the faintest idea of
northern Minnesota, its natural ad
vantages and marvellous resources,
YOU must visit it. / did and l came

CannibaI Fishes and Humane People.
While as measure of economy the
great majority of all the fishes and
other creatures at the Aquarium are
fed on dead food, such as cut up fish,
or, as in the case of some of the
larger ones, small dead fish whole,
there are some fishes which II they
are to be kept alive or In condition
must have live food such as they
would find in nature.
In their free state all fishes are
cannibals. This is the way of nature.
But among the visitors at the Aqua
rum there are people who consider
the placing of live little fishes in the
tanks to be devoured by bigger fish az
cruel and in Difference to this feeling
the fishes that must be supplied with
live food are fed before the aquarium
is opened IN the morning and after it
Is closed at night.
