Gov. Campbell arranged to spend a
month here and Capt. Fred Barrett
came back to Duluth. He was broth
er of DR.. Fred Barrett, pioneer pro-
moter, politician and physician at
Tower. Capt. Barrett was a red-hot
democrat but his brother, DR.. Bar
rett, was radical, bloody-shirt-wav-
ing republican. But that had little
to do with those early day iron mines
on the Mesaba.

"What did you have for
Thanksgiving?" finally asked the
teacher of the little daughter of
John Wilson, former city engi-
neer.
"We had chicken, and we saved
half Of it for Sunday" was the
unexpected reply.

DULUTH CITY COUNCIL ASKED
FOR TUNNEL PLANS.

At meeting of the common coun-
Gil Of the city of Duluth, Monday eve
ming, Nov. 7, 1892, there came mighty
near not being d quorum. Aldermen
C. A. Long, A. C. Weiss, Joseph G.
Helm, J. w. Nelson, N. F. Hugo, T.
w. Hugo and Alexander Wilson fin
ally formed one.
On motion Of c. A. Long, support
ed by N. F. Hugo, resolution was
passed, authorizing the board of pub
lie works to call for competitive plans
for a combined street and railway
tunnel under the Duluth ship canal,
it being provided that prize Of
$1,000 would be given for the set Of
plans adopted by the board of public
works.
Alderman Helm opposed the idea.
maintaining that enough money al
ready had been expended on tunnel
agitation and that the city funds
would not warrant the improvement
at that time.
w. w. Billson rendered an opinion
to the effect that legislation would
be required to enable the city to build
a railroad part to the tunnel. The
right existed to build a street tunnel.
At the time, it was proposed to pay
for the street tunnel by assessing the
benefits of the improvement against
the property benefited and to issue
bonds to secure money for the rail-
road part Of the tunnel. 1t also was
proposed to charge the railroads for
use Of their portion of the improve
ment.
Plans later were submitted and
selection made but the rapidly ap-
preaching panic of '93 stopped tunnel
undertakings from that time to this.

THE RIP-sAW DOTH GROW.

For each OF the three previous
issues Of the Rip-saw, it has taken
an edition of 5000 copies. This
issue embraces 10000 copies.
What the next issue will require,
only the readers know and they
usually do not say until the great
family Journal comes from the
press.
In over quarter of a century,
at least, no English weekly paper
has made any such record for cir
culation as the Rip-saw. Where
and when it will end, cannot yet
be told.
The people are determined to
read the Rip-saw. This is proven
by the way in which they mail in
their yearly subscriptions; the
way in which they call at the new
and larger office; the way in
which they patronize the news
boys and the way in which they
call for it at the news-stands.
One news-dealer in Duluth dis
posed Of 1900 copies Of the previ-
GUS issue Of this great family
journal. Not another weekly Eng
lish paper in this city has a total
circulation much in excess of that,
if any.
It is inspiring and significant,
the way visitors at the Rip-saw
office express themselves. cit is
our duty to support the Rip-saw, /"
they say, "for it is the best sup
port we and our interests nave"
"The Rip-saw is not the big
gest paper in the county but it is
the best one," another caller says.
cts the only paper that tells us
what is going on under the sur
face. While the daily papers seem
to cover up things that citizens
and taxpayers should know, the
Rip-saw takes off the lid so that
all Of us can see."
"Speed the day when the Rip
saw can be issued weekly" said
a Mother in Israel. IT feel that
all Of us should get to work and
secure subscribers and support
that will enable the paper to be
issued weekly"
The Rip-saw management GER
tainly would like to make the
great family paper a weekly. At
present, it is a one-man sawmill,
so to speak. To fill twenty-eight
columns with original matter,
written in q way to make it read
able and profitable, is enough for
one man to do. When it comes
to collecting facts, putting them
into shape, writing heads, reading
proof, experimenting makeup,
mailing out the edition, soliciting
a few subscriptions and then get
ting together the money to pay the
printing house, a man with gray
hair, a bald head and glasses on
his nose is compelled to work
early and late.
Despite the fact that this edi.
ton Of the Rip-saw> contains TO-
600 copies, all of which will be
circulated, not single ADVERTISE
ment is found in the papers COL
umns. This leaves more room for
subject matter and that is ad-
vantageous for the reader. But
some advertising would increase
revenues and permit improve
ments in the paper. The publisher
has no time to chase advertising,
under present conditions. ANY
who seek it must call at the office
and ask for it. To date, there is
not a single business man in Du-
luth who is alive and awake
enough to see the value of a me,
dunn which is read eagerly by
all classes to the extent of 10000
copies an issue.
No wonder Duluth is looked up
on as a country town by larger
nearby cities. Entirely too many
good fellows are asleep at the
business switch. When they will
wake up is a wild bet.

ants by sticking to the plan OF lighting

The logical deductions from the

A league of nations acting as a sub

Training Little Children


est remonstrance, they would have
crashing chords ready for the angry
boy, nonsense song to drive scowls
from the face of~1ittle daughter, and
jolly jig to set tagging feet and droop-
ing spirits dancing; while a CAV little
tune improvised or adapted for the
occasion, would often bring cheerful
obedience in response to the request
to pick up playthings or perform SOME
other unwelcome task, where a stern
command would start an unhappy
time for all concerned.
One of my childhood memories is of
visiting in country home where the
mother would often get ND from the
breakfast table and say. Come let us

Bad housekeeping, perhaps. but good
homemaking, for | have since learned
that this method was ALWAYS resorted
to when the morning atmosphere Of

course, this use of music is most eff
fective with child who is either
endowed to musical influence or has
been trained in ear and heart to feel
its effects.
A child who has always heard good
music and has early learned to love
and produce it, has great advantage
over one to whom it comes as later
and more foreign achievement. Re-
sponsiveness to the atmosphere of
music is not. however, dependent up
on the ability to create it, although Of
course, made stronger by it. A little
4-year-old child who had no natu-
raj ability for either singing or play
ing, being deficient in both rhyth-
mic sense and sense of pitch, never
theless was so sensitive to musical
impressions that she described the
tunes which were played to her as be-
ing pink and red and blue like the
sky, and one which had strong chords
with staccato melody above them
as the green tune with red berries.
These interpretations OF music in
terms Of color were later explained
by the development of an unusual de-
gree OF talent with pencil and brush,

A few instances of what has been
done in some homes through the
power OF music will, | know, tell you
more than the mere advancement of
theories.
A little girl who was very miser-
able and managed to make mother or
nurse most unhappy all through the
process OF hairdressing and getting
into bothersome clothes, would sub
nit most graciously if mother sang
My mother bids me bind my hair
With knot of fairest hue;
Tie up my sleeves with ribbons rare,
And lace my bodice blue;
For why, she says, sit still and weep
While other are at play?
an adaptation of Haydn's beautiful
air.
Another mother learned to help her
little boy work off some Of his stormy
fits of temper by going to the piano
and playing some stormy, impetuous
bit like Schumann's wild Rider"
The boy did not know why this was
done, but he felt the mood of the
music because it exactly fitted his
own, and he would career around the
room like veritable wild pony, un-
til his emotion, which might have
worked harm to himself and others,
had spent itself in this harmless way.
My sister remembfs that even as
a child she recognized this power of
music to bring sweetness out of tenn
per. She was very angry one day with
a sense OF some injustice done her
and in this mood started to play her
beloved piano. AS she did this she
realized that if she played she would
soon cease to be angry, and not being
ready to give up her resentful mood,
she rejected the gentle ministry of
music and went to her room to nurse
her unhappiness.
As an Indictment to bravery music
has often been used in the home.
