A middle-aged Polish man appeared
one morning recently at one Of De-
troit's social settlement houses. To
the young woman on duty in the Of
flee he told a story Of illness and Of
failure to find satisfactory work since
his dismissal from the hospital a few
weeks before-ending the recital by
saying that he wished to be sent to
the poor house.
"But won't you let me help you
find work?" asked the girl. What
did you do before you were ill?"
why, lady, I worked for a tailor
an l ran de goose. But such a job
is too hard for me now"
well, wouldn't it be better to earn
even part of your living and let some
n help you a little than to give
up entirely? Why, I'd rather pull bast,
ing threads than to do nothing!" .
But, We see, lady, youse don't under

there We are" '
Now what would your answer be to

Beautiful Institute of Arts Build.
ing Opened to Public
Tonight.

Minneapolis, Jan. minneapolis
takes it's place this week among the
important art centers OF the United
States with the formal opening of the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts, a beau-
tiful building erected in 1914 at a cost
of $750,00O. The entire Northwest
participated in dedicatory exercises

visitors attracted by the ceremonies
will Join the people of Minneapolis in
an inspection of the $3,000,O00 exhibit
ton of art treasures arranged for the
opening.
The spirit of Minneapolis and of the
Northwest is graphically illustrated
in the new museum. Thirty years ago,
the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts
was formed. Itf oresaw the prestige
Minneapolis would attain in industry
and comerce and made plans for the
ultimate erection of an institute OF
arts. 1t stimulated interest in higher
art and as the result of its example
and it's influence, several notable pri-
vate collections were accumulated by
wealthy citizens. 1t also obtained for
itself a large number OF valuable can
vases and other art treasurers, which
for years were displayed in the Cen
trail Public library. This collection
and that of r. B.. Walker, multi-ml!-
'lionaire luberman, long ago brought
prominence to Minneapolis as an art
center.
In 1910 the Society of Fine Arts
suddenly awakened from its dream OF
a magnificent brt museum and found
its project to he a reality. At a mas
meeting of citizens, a site for the Ero-
posed useum was offered by Clinton
Morrison, and William H. Dunwocdy
arose and announced a gift of $4,000
toward a building fund. From all
sides of the banquet room other Off
ers of contributions ranging from 81
900 to 500, 900, and in less than an
hour the sum OF $550,000 vas ID
scribed.
Leading architects were invited to
enter into the competition for the
plans. The design of McKim, Mead
& White of New York was selected,
plans calling for a building, which
when finally completed will involve
an expenditure of $4,000, 600.
In the construction Of the present
building every effort has been made
against permit ng it to become a
''store house or a "prison OF arts
Related groups of art will be shown
in units of the building devoted only
to art of that period or class. ard there
will be an absence of ornament in the
interior to detract attention from the
exhibits.

of approximately ~$3,C00.0G0 embraces

The Minneapolis Society Of Fine

of $1,000 80 from the late William
H. Dunwoody. Other large gifts are
in prospect, and with this assurance

Rev. Francis z. Higgins Passes
Awav at Shelbourne, Ont.-Labored
In Lumber Districts.

Minneapolis, MINI, Jan. 7.-ReV
Francis f. Higgins, "the LumberJacR
Sky.pilot," is dead. The news OF the
ending of the career of this spectacu'
lar Minnesota character came u
friends in Minneapolis from Shell
bourne, Ont, the lumOer camp ms,
s%ionary's former home, where he hau
gone to seek relief from tumors, when
had been giving him trouble and ahA'
iety for several years. His nome was
in %Delano, Mimi, where his vile anu

Frank Higgins entered the ministry
about 81 years ago and a a regular

was not content to have men come 10

wanted to 20 out and seek men VINO,
he thought, needed the mini5tratlol OF

Goes Into the Woods.
The lumber camps were actlVe III
those days. He saw the life OF the
"lumberjack' and longed to improve
it. He saw the men come in from the
camps for a brief holiday with the
earnings of a month or a seaso and
he saw them creep back to those
camps, broken in purse, broken IN
spirit and broken in health.
To reach them he must carry his
message to them in the woods, where
they were their true selves, unsullleo
by alcohol. This he did. For more
than 20 years he travelled about the
lumber camps of the northwest and
Canada, suffering all the hardshlps
that go with outdoor life in the Wllds
He established missions in M1nleso'
ia and several other states ard had a
corps of missionaries aiding him.
Travelled on Foot to Camps.
For many years while Minnesota
was still producing millions of feet Of
lumber and the great drives were
still coming down the rivers TO the
mills, he worked alone, travelling afoof
from camp to camp or going by o
team over the snow. He would tall
to the men as they worked in the
woods by day and as they gathered,
in the big b%unkhouses by night.
The "Sky-pilot's" fame went abroad
and he came into demand as a lee
turer. He was invited to fill pulpits in
some of the leading churches and ne
also addressed students at Princeton
Michigan, and other leading colleges
During the last decade he spent muc'
of his time travelling through the east
but always his chief subject would
be "his men, in the west.
Horsewhips His Accuser.
Travelling with his dog team in Can
ada one day, ten years ago, Mr.. Hig
gins was arrested On complaint of a,
former mayor of Wi1nipek, the charge
being cruelty to animals, the former
mayor asserting that the dogs were
not strong enough to pull Higgins and
his pack. Higgins was acquitted and
he promptly hunted up his accuser
and publicly horsewhipped him.
