Writers. and there r many who
have written pages about the beauties
of the Minnesota lake regions, yet the
grandeur seen in an Indian summer
sunset on a Minnesota prairie is a
topic deserving attention. Little DO
We think Of the wonders about us un-

special notice of the splendors of ma
where a beautiful autumn sunset is
mence to think about the grand things
round us and how others appreciate
them. In the mountainous regions Of
the west-long made famous for seem
ic beauties and wonders-an autumn
sunset is unknown. The sun slowly
travels its distance over the big blue
barriers. darkness follows and the val
leys go to rest. But on a Minnesota
prairie the scene is different and a ma

big blazing sun is about to set and
sends its myriad rays against the
brightly colored leaves Of the August
trees. A light breeze tips the leaves
and as they fall wonderful colored
effects are produced as they pass
through the days Of the setting sun
in their descent to earth to form a
sofa for the coming SHOWS. When the
big ball is glowing with fire. the
western skies are aglow and the praf-
ries and leaves are kinjled with red

sinks to rest an evening twilight falls
over the praries and trees upmask.
And then an Indian summer On a Min
nesota prairie had just come to pass.

Mr. Lee, the successful candidate. is

THE LULn IN THE BALKANS.

For the moment the melting pot of
the Balkans seems quiescent. What
it may throw out in the next few
weeks is puzzling the publicists and
the statesmen. The points Of special
interest are the terms of agreement
between Turkey and Bulgaria, the
final relations between Austria and
servfa, and the policy Of Turkey to-
ward Greece, and the part that may
be assumed by Roumania.
1t appears that Bulgaria has come
to m understanding with Turkey,
the exact nature Of which is not gen.
orally known. Bulgaria surrends a
considerable part Of the territory con
quered from Turkey. OF the part re-
tanned, that which it would be con-
venlent for Turkey to cross to operate
against Greece is not occupied in
force by Bulgaria. and the Grecian
government is thereby rendered sus-
plclous. The negotiations between
Greece and Turkey drag. and it is re.
ported that Greece is turning toward
Servia for aid in case of an attack
by Turkey. Servia, having ~repulsed
the raids from Albania, is seeking a
definite understanding with Austria,
SO far with no success. There is a
good deal Of apprehension that Aus
tria may back an attempt by Bulgaria
n Turkey to avenge their respective
defeats on Greece and servia. The
French papers especially are severe

He was tired Of her. That summed up
the whole thing-he vas tired Of her.
And when. a man is tired of a woman

Upon her entrance one was struck
by the attractive personality Of Miss
Miller. When she began to sing one was
held by the clearness OF her tones and
the flexibility Of her voice which. was
shown in her rendition OF an extract
from "Paul ct Virginie,' by Masse
and "The Blacksmith by Brahms.
She rendered the folk songs with
charming simplicity.
Miss Miller gracefully answered to
an encore by singing GA Valentine"

Mrs. Robinson, second time. Twice
before this she answered the call for
an encore, singing the Reichardt song
for the first and the "Song Of the
Garden as her second.
By her sympathetic and well ex-
ecuted accompaniment Mrs. Robinson
aided to no small extent towards the
success Of the program. She offset the
