HUGH MORRISON, the self-made millionaire, is leaving a good share of his money to the Minneapolis policemen in return for the profitable (to the municipal courts) hours he has spent in their company. We have ROBERT NELSON as the surgicul expert at Fort Snelling; at present his scientific mind is wrestling with the problem of how to hatch bigger and better chickens in less time. SIGURD OPSTAD is playing the dignified rolo of county undertaker; as the business is on a firm paying basis, “Sig” is very comfortably situated. GERALD SHEPARD is the gen-eral of our army in China; only the fact that the Union needed represerving caused peaceful Jerry to don the hauberk, etc. DOROTHY SMITH has established a fresh air camp for underfed girls who wish to become strong physically, mentally, and morally.

The trees are weaving lovely thoughts In soft design. Over there the pines are still, Looking at heaven from their hill. If I could grow as patiently As one still pine! Oh, I wish I were a pine tonight That in my majesty I might Give some poor mortal all the joy Of thoughts like mine. Franklin Moon. SUNSET Castles with golden casements. Crimson watch fires bright. Sending their pillars of scarlet To warn approaching night! Yet hack of the golden glory Where night has just begun— Purple clouds pass like mourners Over the grave of the sun. Esther Nelson.
