A design of excellent merit and possessing the combined* qualities of great strength of construction and luxurious comfort. The arms are bent in shape and out of one piece of wood, affording an oppor­tunity for a smooth and beautiful finish not otherwise obtainable. The upholstering is in the large square diamond plaited tufted Turkish style, making the upholstering yielding and restful. This design after a short use will conform to the shape of the user and will thus rest every muscle. The framework is constructed in Northern Birch, finely finished and polished in / / » / ^ -j HZafW Mahogany. The leather is the Genuine Ster- .yb I-~wlI ling natural grain quality ***

YALUATIOH TOO BIGB, SAYS GREAT NORTHERN

The Gieat Northern officials are far from satisfied with the report of the commissioners appointed to appraise the value of the seven acres in Bryn Mawr that the company is condemning for yard purposes. An appeal will be made and new evidence submitted.

" T h e award of over $11,000 is ex­cessive,' ' said a Great Northern offi­cial. " W i t h the cost figured at this amount, the property, by the time it is put in the shape where we can use it, will >iost the company about $70,000. The land was a veritable bed of quick­sand. I t has cost just about $23,800,

e x c l u s i v e o f t h e o r i g i n a l c o s t o f t l i e gravel used, to make it solid. To bring it up to the level where it will be of use to us will cost $34,300 more. Our testimony showed that the land was not worth more than $1,000 an acre, and that, it seems to us, is a fair price for i t . "

CHAJYEPICHSTS I>EAJD 3VIA2T

The work of Santa Claus is being greatly augmented thjs year by the clever work of children in the public schools of» Minneapolis. For several weeks pupils in the intermediate grades have been industriously working in clay, trying to make their untrained fingers shape bowls and vases and tiles oi all sorts, sizes and designs. That victory has perched upon their banner is proven by the huge collection of 2,000 < pieces of pottery they have made, all of which are to be fired before Christmas. I t is a collection which nee"ds no apol­ogy either for the clay work or the dec­orative design. In Minneapolis, at least, the time is past when parents re­ceive such handiwork of their children with an indulgent smile.

Just what this training of eye and hand in the intermediate grades means was shown in samples of work by high school pupils which were on display tor a short time yesterday in the teachers' assembly room in the city'hall . The work just HOW is largely in tooled leather and hammered copper and wood and the samples shown would have done credit to a professional.

There were tooled leather tan belts, exquisite ivory white chatelaine bags, purses and billbooks without number, as well as complete desk fittings, from the writing pad with tooled leather corners to the triangular leather cover for the penwiper. Tooled leather is an^entirely different bit of workmanship from burnt leather and after once handling tools and getting even halfway satisfactory results, the high school leatherworker would scorn to do a piece of burnt leather.

While leather seems to be the most popular material for . Christmas work, there were hammered copper bowls and sconces, of odd shapes and designs and of such excellence of workmanship that it was hard to avoid coveting every one of them. In addition, there were sever­al pillowtops and tablecovers stamped in block design and scale drawings showing copper candlesticks and candleshades, bookracks, fancy hinges, etc., yet to be made.

The most astonishing fact, however is that from start to finish, each piece is wholly the creation of the pupil. The pupil first draws a design and submits it to the- teacher for whatever correc­tion may be necessary. Then it is re­duced to scale and a working drawing made before the material receives one touch. And not the least interesting feature of the exhibit Tuesday was the large collection of these working draw­ings, drawn to scale with a neatness and a nicety that would be creditable to much older and more experienced work-GTS

While the metal, feather and wood­work were most in evidenc, ther were several samples of *loek stamp work on linen, and a number of working draw­ings showed that pqio^tops and table-covers -would be nunjerdus as Christmas

Attorney Cary Maintains that Craw­ford Is Legally Alive.

Altho unable to save C. D. Crawford from the gallows, Attorney E. 8. Cary now, after his client has been hanged, announces that he is not thru fighting the case and that he will complete an appeal to • the supreme ctmrt and test the constitutionality of the law giving the pardoning board the right to grant a stay of execution. According to Mr. Cary's contention the stav of execution was illegal and therefore Crawford was legally dead after Aug. 15 and all sub­sequent orders m his case and acts against him were illegal.

would call it "stencil work," but it is something far better and represents in­finitely more painstaking work. Instead of using a strip of metal cut out in the chosen design, and passing a brush dipped in dye over it, a small wooden block is made by the pupil from J u s working drawing, and this, dipped upon a pad prepared with the dye, is stamped by hand upon the material. This re­quires an eye trained to distinguish a hairline and a hand that knows no nerv­ousness or uncertainty of motion.

BEGINS TO LOOfLlKE MATRIMONAL BUREAU

Superintendent Louis Levy of the state free employment bureau and his assistants begin to think the office will be converted into a matrimonial bureau. A few days ago Mr.'Levy made public the fact that he had a correspondent, a widow lady in good circumstances, witn matrimonial aspirations. The result has been to supply the office with some en­tertaining reading matter, of which tne following are fair examples:

" I should like to hear from the Lady Personall. I are 49 of age 5 ft 2 inch rh height weight 170 a church member, lett me hear From Lady Personall. ^

"dear fren i will now tell you that if this Weedo is widout children is Sweed or norwagen and is onder 60 years old if she is dis will you pleas give her dis adress."

The first epistle is f roma man, and -judging from his name he is a German. The latter is from a woman. What her " g a m e " may be is not disclosed. She certainly can't marry the widow her­self, but it may be that she is conduct­ing a little marriage bureau of her own and has a customer for whom she is seeking a wife.

A.- BUT HE MUST OO

SENIORS' GAPS AND GOWNS ARE STOLEN

Three hundred caps and gowns, or­dered by university seniors and deliv­ered at the library building at the university by an expressman, mys­teriously disappeared today, and an up-percass war may result. The gowns, packed in a large wooden box, on which was emblazoned,'' Senior Gowns. Prop­erty of 1907. To , with ' 0 6 / ' were later located on the porch of the old main building, but a smaller box con­taining 300 senior academic caps has not been recovered.

The two boxes were delivered at the university last night and owing to their size, were left in the library corridors, where they remained until after chapei time. During the third hour, when most of the academic students are at class, the boxes disappeared. The seniors ac­cuse several .-juniors of the theft, and unless the caps are returned today tro-ble is promised.

This is the first time m the history of the university that the senior class has been the victim of a college prank.

HUNTED CATS WITH ROOSEYELT'S GUIDE

With a mountain lion somewhere in front of him and a foot and a half of snow under foot, C. C. Hildebrand rode thirty miles thru the Montana Rockies and spent the night in a foodless camp in the snow. The dogs treed the game, but were driven from their position by the intense cold before Mr. Hildebrand and his guide came up. Mr. Hilde­brand is the sales manager of the auto­mobile department of the Stevens Arms & Tool company. He left for the east last night after spending two days in Minneapolis with H. pany's agent here, Minneapolis with H. E. Pence, the com-

CHIPPEWA'S HISTORY ON A BUFFALO ROBE

Insane Alien Likes Land of the Free and Brave. , ,

Robert Davis, immigration inspector,, leaves tonight for Fergus Falls, where he will take charge of Emil.Holmgren, an insane alien, and convey him to New York for deportation.

Helmgren landed at New York over a year ago and from there went to St. Louis county, Minnesota, where he de­veloped insanity from causes existing prior to his landing. He is of Swed­ish birth and 27. The authorities at the Fergus Falls asylumn report that his insanity is mild and that he is very tractable, but add that he will have to be watched closely, as he objects to be­ing deported and will attempt to escape. He will be returned to Stockholm by a

's teamer of the White Star line sailing from New ,York on Dee, 15.

Any one who can translate Indian hieroglyphics may be able to unravel some valuable history of the early Chip­pewa Indians of this part of the coun­try by inspecting a handsome buffalo robe on exhibit at the West hotel. The robe is the property of P . L. Speed of Barron, Wis., and has been in his fam-. ily for two generations, packed away, and unused, Doth because of its his­torical and material value. The robe is a magnificent specimen of Indian tan­ning, nearly eight feet square.

On the under side, in vari-colored In­dian paints, is written a history of a chief of the early Chippewas who was its original owner. The writing is the usual lot of Indian pictures, representa­tive of wars, the chase, and important tribal events. %^

BID MAN'S WORK > !

Speaking of his week in the moun tains, Mr. Hildebrand said: ' ' That was' certainly living. There is something about the hardship and exposure which is exhilerating and makes one feel that life is worth living. I spent a week in camp about twenty miles from Gardner, Mont., with Ed Groff, the guide who di­rected President Roosevelt's recent hunt. We had no tents but slept behind a canvas windbreak.

" T h e hunt was very Successful. I got my first mountain sheep, a wildcat and a lynx, and shall go back next year and try to get a lion. The performance Of Grbff's dogs is wonderful, and the president has not told half there is to tell about them in his story of the hunt. They followed a "bobcat eight miles one afternoon and took up the trail again the next morning and ran it fifteen more. They are so well trained that they will not run any game except cats and will not look at elk or deer ."

International Flax Twine Company Buys Minnie Harvester Plant.

The International Flax Twine com­pany, a Minnesota corporation, has ac-quired. the old plant of the Minnie Har­vester company at Hazel Park and ex­pects soon to have in operation a plant for the manufacture of flax twine that will eventually employ a thousand men. The company will make a binder twine out of flax thru a new method, which it is claimed will be much cheaper than the twine now in use made from the expensive imported product, and will be just as satisfactory for use by the farm­ers.

H. L. Daniels of Chicago, represent­ing the International Harvester com­pany, will be manager. F . L. Otis, who was identified with the Minnie Har­vester company, will have charge lo­cally. The malleable iron business which was carred on formerly at the Minnie plant will be continued by the Northern Malleable Iron company, a Minnesota corporation.
