There was another philosopher who lived

coincidence merely that these philosophers

A frequent and notable figure in modern
fiction is the young woman who becomes
an actress, and, without adequate prepare
ton or experience, replaces the leading
woman at moments notice and achieves
a sensational success.
1t is hard to imagine anything more pre-
posterous than this episode, oft repeated
and seldom laughed at by the average read
er of fiction. To accept it is to acknowl-
edge that acting is not an art, but merely

this sort does an incalculable amount of
harm because it keeps alive in the minds of
foolish young women the idea that success
on the stage is merely matter of fortunate
opportunity. Acting is an art that very

THERE is a higher duty than to build
almshouses for the poor, and that is to save
men from being degraded to the blighting
influence of an almshouse. Man has a
right to something more than bread to keep
him from starving. He has a right to the
aids and encouragements and culture, by
which he may fulfill the destiny of man,
and until society is brought to recognize
and reverence this it will continue to groan
under its present miseries.

BELOW we are printing the law passed at
the last session of the Legislature, in regard
to liquor, narcotics, etc. Some people do
not seem to realize what the law is, or
means. Read it over carefully, and after
you leave here, do not try to buck up
against it, just to see if you can beat it.
A word to the wise is sufficient:
CHAPTER 1865. F. NO. ST..
An act to prohibit the bringing into,
or upon the grounds of the state prison

making the same felony, and provid-
ing penalty therefor. Be it enacted
by the Legislature of the State of Min

picked out of the sand by Mrs. Miller.
near the spot where her husband lost
1t, the dial showed nearly the correct
time.
Mrs. Miller, while gathering wild
flowers, noticed a glittering object in
the clear water of the stream She
investigated and found it to be her
husbands lost watch. She was great
ly surprised to find the watch run
ming and keeping good time.
Mrs. Miller said that the timepiece
was lying in such a position that the
fast running water had evidently act
ed as winder and kept the movements
going
