"Olive" writes: "When I was a little irlrl and had been very naughty my father used to shake me soundly, and sit me down hard. When I read the other day. on the fourth pae of The Tribune. Mrs. Potter Palmer" view of he present "society girl" I endured pre cisely the sensations produced by my early punishment. Are we girls Just supposed to live In the light of reluctant young men's smiles? St. Anthony! Here Is one society girl on a strike, lafe holds too much that Is worth whlla to waste It on manly attend ance, given with an Ill-grace. Olrls. take down your books- and let's do something to convince the "new men' of Mrs. Palmer's description that we are abundantly able to go It alone. Of course we all see the social condi tion Mrs. Palmer bemoans, but It's a pity If. in the world's broad tleld of batik.' the girls can't be supposed to go It alone. Quoting from (Mrs. Palmer, 'nothing rv mains but for them to seize a fining moment, declare undying love a-nd propose matrimony.' and then she pities 'the girls and calls them 'Just as i-wiNt s ever." Is thtre no goal for a woman's ambition but marriage? Half of the girls at school with me have their own careers planned out. and Mrs. Palmer to the contrary notwithstand ing. There is no man 'In it.' Register me as not on the side of the new wo man.' but the go-lt-alone 'one.' " THE TRUE STANDARD: The woman that we call "the new' May have a heart of itold; Enough, if she will only be As sweet as was "the old." Frank L. Stanton. There 1s. says the Outlook, one de partment In the administration of every municipality, town, or village that should command the time and attention of every Intelligent woman, and this Is the department of education. This does not mean that every woman should undertake the work of personal Investi gation, or seek to compel the careying out of' personal views in the conduct of public ' education. It does mean that rne should know the amount spent per capita for the education of the children of the community; how It compares with other communities; that she shouM know something of the census of the town; the taws relating to the public cfhools: the amount paid in salaries, and whether the sum paid is sufficient to command the best teachers. Mrs. Henrotln. the president of the Federa tion of Women's clubs, said recently that the work of the women's clubs Is changing: that each year the work takes more and more the civic form. This Is progress. If the women's clubs througfi ont the country will give their Individ ual attention to civic affairs as they relate to thA community, and their com bined influence to secure the best ad ministration of every department, we hall tew Wie most perfect local gov ernments In the world. The Indiffer ence of taxpayers as to the way the public money is spent amounts to crim inality. When it is realized that the public money wasted, and worse than wasted, would Insure both literary and manual training to every child whose duration must depend on what the public money supplies, it ought to cause very public-spirited man and woman to register a vow to consecrate a part of their time to public service, giving their talents and abilities where they would count for the public good. KEEP HER MOVING: The brand-new mother-in-law ' here. But not thank heaven! to stay; For on her bioyote so dear She rides away, awsy! Frank I Stanton. 'The world," says the Washington Post, in an editorial suggested by the 126th anniversary, on Aug. 15, of the birth of Napoleon, "has never agreed as to Bonaparte. When the British govern ment retained Walter Scott to prosti tute his genius to the misrepresentation of the great Corslcan, the Integrity Of btstory on that point at least was lr - retrievably destroyed. Readers and students took sides and to-day the char actor and the exploits of Napoleon Bon aparte constitute a controversy as fer vent and as Interminable as the origin of species or the identity of the true re ligion. We know .that from the obscure and humble position of king's pensioner at the military school of Brlenne, with out fortune or- powerful friends, tie rose to be bead of the greatest military force the world has ever seen, that he changed the map of Europe, made and unmade thrones, had kings for his pris oners, and emperors suppliant to bis . favor, and never met a serious check until 'his imad ambition took him upon the deseperate march to Moscow and revealed to him the vain dream of the oriflamme - waving- over the wedded eagles-of Russia, His. detractors say that 'he was a monster, the Minotaur of the nineteenth century. His panegy rists proclaim him the greatest genius the earth has ever held. There is no middle ground from which to judge him any more than there was a possibility of compromise with him In the day of tils power when he bore the fleur-de-lis against tne auiea armies of the civilized (world. We must Choose between Wal or Scott, the chief of his detractors, and Abbott, the leader of his panegy rists. We can no more deliberate in coolness over Bonaparte than we can weign a nasn or ngntning or analyse a comet; - There Is - Just one Important revelation of latter-day inquiry and in- Vestlflra-tlnfl wWfh tloM na a nbuf art A t the same time trustworthy insight into the man's private life and appeals In his behalf to our profound est sympa thy. For seventy years the world has reproached hVm for his treatment of Josephine Beauharnal. " To-day we know on testimony beyond question that Josephine betrayed him that she spurned and outraged a love passion ate, tender, and chivalrous as the love of Arthur for the faithless. Guinevere. He .may have been the rutihn monster Ilia enemies have painted him a con spirator against mankind and human freedom "but we know now that he sniftered the direst pang that man can feel, and that all the pride and glory of dominion was .poisoned for him by the same bomely wretchedness the low est mortal feels." .

I had seated my self comfortably in a ix-mwurr, t .....trail. ii .in. and Weetern rail road train, and had essayed 'to Indulge In a short nap preparatory to iimnw engagement "l&i) mHes out." obedient to the call of my Agent, when the other half of my seat was appropriated by the no less irenlal and entertaining Mr. Katiensteln, the wealthy packing man ufacturer. He immediately launched upon a discourse with an acquaintance who occupied the eeat ahead, and my prospects for a nod were reduced to a wink. I resolved to revenge viie nuru- Minn. Tevkuig a good supply of my number six bird-shot I opened fire on 'Mr. h.. softly, at first, but enough to disturb him. My aim was good and I tossed them out with my tongue with a pro tlclcnvy which my friends tell me rivals that of a marksman at close range. As tihe shot catne In contact with bis stiff hat the sound could be heard through out the car, and many turned to learn the cause. "What is this?" Inquired Mr. K. with unmistakable concern. "I am getting lilt. Do you bear that and that and that. There it is again, Hght. on my cheek." His companion, who had been a. witness to some of my L road epi sodes, quietly took In the situation, and became a voluntary confederate. Mr. K. looked me over cartrfully, but as I feigned sleep he concluded I was Innocent all over. Another volley 1 let go, and this time I leaped to my feet as if struck by a bomb. Mr. K. turned aside to lauch at my apparent per plexity, his anger somewhat assuaged to learn that he alone wan not singled out as a victim. - He rose to learn the meaning of "this persecution," and standing In his seat looked Inquiringly Into the oaees of the other passengers, who. not yet acquainted with the sport, looked at him. in turn, with wonder. "I can't see who's doing it. What Is he throwing?" asked Mr. K. His com panlon suggested ithat It was coal from the locomotive 'and that it came in through the ventilators above. This served to reassure Mr. K. and be re sumed his eeat and his Interrupted dis course. Scarcely had he begun when anoot-her fusllade of missiles landed with great force on his face and hrs hat. "Hey,' hey, there; etop thht!" he shouted.- The other passengers began to ctm prehend the -matter more intelligently, but they charitably refrained from comment. "It Is neither coal-dust nor cinders," declared the now Irate Mr. K. "The windows are down and the ventilators are veiled. There Is some rogue in the car pelting me." By the foregoing method I always In troduce my ventriloquism. From the roof above I piped: "Say, Katzensteln." "Hello! Hello," replied Mr. K., in the parlance of the telophone girl. "I'm going to make a hole In that plug hat of yours. Look out!" came back in reply, at which the passengers roared. "Who is the rascal, and how. does he know my name?" he naulred'of me. i ventured that la was some one of his party. "Yes, but there is no one with me but my brother-in-law.

From this Inland sea and the series of lakes and streams 1n the foreats, on the summit of Northern Minnesota, flow three mighty rivers, tho St. Lawrence running atward to the North Atlantic ocean, the Mlsnliwlppl southward into the Uult of Mexico, and the Ited river flowing northward to the Icy waters of Hudson, Bay.

Duluth Is locatHl upon a bluff, or series) of bluffs pining mime six hundred feet above and overlooking Lake Hu pewior and the 'bays of Superior and rit. Louis, with a wide stretch of table land between the waiter and the bluffs, it to over eeven mik long from Ita extreme eastern suburb on the whore of the lake to Its wewtem limit on the Bay of St. Louie. 1 Its 'harbor Is capacious and entirely taind-locked, bolng entered by an artl IkiloJ channel cut across a long, narrow, sandy peninsular, known as iMUnnesuta Point by the citlxens of Duluth at great expense. Duluth, na-med from an old-time French explorer, LMiLuth. was fur many yeara only a mod-eat city of 30.000 population. Proctor Knott in his famous speech In congress gave It notoriety, well Ue Herved. too, atid It is now one of the three great growing cities of Minnesota, vletng with Minneapolis and St. Iaul for commercial nupremacy. Being alt' u ailed at the head of the Great Chain of Lakes, it has grown more rapidly than otuner of the two. Ita development Is due purely to Its geographical! position and to the great wheat fields of the Northwest. Locat ed on a high bluff very high bluff, too gives it perfect natural drainage and Insures both pure air and sunlight. From the windows of every building you get a panoramic view of lake, bay and Crescent Point, whioh Is ever changing and always boauMful. The middle portion of the cl'ty cosily nestles under tine protection of the same bluffs, running down to the water's edige. The westerly and easterly portions of tho table kinds recede from the ahore.sharp- ly 'forming a 'tevel traot between the take or bay and the heights. This level land, which 1 given over to tine resi dences, exceeds In area the extent of Manhattan island. A City of Possibilities. Duluth is a city of great beauty for situation and of Infinite possibilities, it has a population of 60,000, and Is one of the most important wheat markets and Wheat shipping points in the world. Thirty years ago Chicago had less pop illation than DuluOh has today. The territory tributary to Duluth Is vastly greater In extent and richer in resources than that which . belongs to the city on Lake Michigan. Wiho, then, shall say that a greater city than Chicago Bhall not some iay stand at the head of Lake Superior? Standing on the heights are seen three singularly formed peninsulars, which form three distinct bays and land locked harbors. From the northern sKpe of the take extends a remarkable peninsular called 'Minnesota Point, seven miles long with an average width of - 800 feet southward In a regular curve, forming a wonderful natural breakwater. Upon this promontory is a heavy growth of pine trees. This protecting point forms a beautiful bay seven mllce long and over a mile and one-ha-hf Wide, secure end sheltered from the wildest storms. This is called Duluth 'Bay. From the southern Bhore extending northward is another sandy point forming a harbor Home three miles ilong nnd a mile wide. This) Is called Duluth land Superior Harbor. Back of this to another bay formed by a penlnsukir extending southward and. strange enough, another coming up from the Wisconsin shore to meet It, thus forming a bay through which strallt flow the waters of the SU Louis and NemadJI rivers. This Is called Bt. Loula Hay. Ten miles above Is a be' wllderlng succfsslon of foaming rapids and tumultuous falls, where the river drops 500 feet in twelve miles a sight to delight the soul of the tourist, but to fill the heart of the navigator with ter ror. Lake Superior. While the geography of thto cKy and Lake Superior may be well understood by some, yet a brief description may Interest other Luke Superior Is a body of fresh water of great depth. some 4S0 miles long and at its widest part 150 miles, narrowing down to -ten miles at this paint. It well deserves the title of "Brothor of the Sea."

For all commercial purpose, Superior ami Duluth are practically one city, an much so as New York ami Brooklyn; and it Is predicted not many years) will pom before suoh will be a nominal as well as an actual fact. When contrasted with Duluth It Is lo cated on a level plateau sniping from a height of onry forty reel to eignt or ton feet at the bay, the very opposite in appearance to her Bister city net on a hill acrom the bay. The rapid and recent growth or West Superior, now consolidated wtth Old and South Superior, to well known. Five years ago West Superior was a swamp. Eastern people, generally, are unaware of the magnitude of the business Inter ests) of this great Inland city. The in dustries that are growing to such vast proportions) are- milling, lumber and Iron, . Already Minneapolis trembles for her laurels) as the facilities' at the take porta of Duluth and Superior, both as) receiving and distributing points, far outrival the "FJour City." Duluth hav ing an advantage of ten to fifteen cents per oarrel over Minneapolis) in the coat of producing and shipping flour, It to predioted that the rival city will yet be oompeUed to take second place an a milling city. . .

These include those of Superior across the bay, controlled by tho Duluth Board of Trade. iMiluth has sixteen elevators. Nearly all the wheat shipments are to New York by way of iluffulo and iKrle Canal. A large grain steamer with a caiclty of 90,000 buhcht. -euulvahidt to 1K0 car loads, can be loaded 'here in half a day. The Marin Trade. While the mill way business is enor mous, .the marine business Is on a still greater scale. Single vessels carrying 130,000 buttliels of grain have bw.iv cleared from Duluth harbor. Many veesels carry 2,600 tons on the present depth of WH-Kr, and when operations now in progress are completed next Hprlng and the channels made nowhere less than, twenty feet in depth between1 Dulutih and' Buffalo, over a thousand miles, than ran vessels carry cargoes of 5.000 tons. The total tonnage of ISUIi with the preeetit facilities was 3,!33,11S) tons. The volume of Bast bound tiielght ts double that of the Went bound, and the return oar goes are hi greaf demand, ttnd consequently less in prlue. Coal can be brought from Buffalo at very nrrwll cost.
