He was not popular with the boys, but as he was a fair story teller, they allowed him to stay in the gang. They were busily en gaged in swapping lies when the conductor came in, and, stepping up to the group, said: "Boys, there's a couple back there in a car whom I pity; a young grander and his girl. They seem to be terribly disappointed.' They expected to get into Devil's Lake this after noon and be married. The fellow's all broke up and the girl is crying like a baby."

He crossed tha Missis sippi ou the ferry at Winona. but in mak ing the landing was unable to get close to the bank ou account of logs being packed in between it and the shore. Mr. Hamblin wanted to catch the train and had but a few minutes to spare, and picking up his grip, he climbed over the side of the boat to the logs and started to run them to the shore. He had never put in much time practicing log running, and alter getting about half way to the shore, he struck one that rolled with him. and getting rattled he dodged around for a minute and finally dropped into the water kerplunk, striking fairiy astr.de a log of small dimensions. He was some what worked up, and with his hair looking north he sat there with one hand griping his valise, and the other stuck up in the air as a signal of distress, yelling at the top of his voice, "Fire! tire! police! help!"

A good story and a new one is told on "Pap" Wiggins, of dime museum tame. ; v A man used profane language on the third floor of the Minneapolis museum the other day in the sacred presence of the Ryder art j ■ collection. Pap Wiggins, as he is affec i tionately and familiarly called. came pulling I iup the stairs. "What's the matter?" he asked of Lowanda, the iron-jawed man, ■ who was gently exercising li.in.self by act ing as lecturer, freak and usher. "A man's cussin' " was the reply. "Here | you." yelled Air. Wiggins, '-by the blankuty blank, I'd like to have you understand, air, j that we allow no blaakety — blank— blank swearing. Our museum Is for ladies arid I children and we allow no blaukety son of a gun to cuss." At this point the irate Mr. Wiggins was pulled down stairs by a box-onice attache. . who said: "Why you are swearing worse than the j man was. Come down and count the tickets I nave sold bo i can turn in the cash." "Did I swear'/" asked the astonished Mr. j Wiggins. "Well, I'll be dojrjjoned," and be \ blusi.ed like a schoolboy, as he de^ceued to the lower lloor. V J. E. Sackett. who is in partnership with Mr. Wiggins in half a dozen theatrical I ventures located in as many cities, is noted ■ for his ••guying"' propensit es as well as i wonderful executive ability. Wiggins re i cently visited Chicago as the guest of Sack | ett. After a tour of the theaters, the party 1 visited a restaurant, where, under the mel lowing influence of champagne and oysters, they were enjoying a post prandial confab, in which the merits of the new plays of the i season were being discussed. i "I consider Poe's 'Raven,' " . said Sackett, j "one of the greatest pieces writteu. Such a ! production could only nave come from a mind : of a man stimulated by liquor to a condition ! which gave'a naturally active imagination an impetus that led it almost beyond the bound aries of human conception." "1 aaree with you." said the other conspir ator. "The dialogue of the piece is both lofty and rymtbinatic What a climax that j is when the raven, 'perched upon the bust of I Pallas, just above the chamber door, 'hoarsely j croaks out, 'Never more.' It is intensely ; I j dramatic and thrilling:." Mr. Wiggins, who had been silently list- ! j ening to the conversation, at this point sud- j denly pulled out a memorandum book and, hastily thumbing over its pages, cried ! out: "Sacket wev'e eot a date to fill week after next at the St. Paul museum. What's the matter with giving Foes' Raven a date there?" Probably Mr. Wiggins does not know to this day why his companions suddenly burst into such wild shrieks of laughter that the waiter suddenly rushed in to ad \ monish them to be a little more quiet, as they were disturbing the other guests of the establishment. V» Ed A. Stevens, the ex-police clerk, has a sense of keen humor that sometime gets the best of his discretion and reveals the bent ■ of his personal and political hatred. At police headquarters is a slate at the top of which is a sign which reads "Leave orders here for the removal of dead animals." When the city scavenger called one morn ing, the police captain was astonished to find written on the slate in the unmistaka ble chirography of Mr. Stevens the names of George M. Harbitz and W. H. Donahue as fit subjects for removal. True Vermont chewing Gum, The best chewing gum, at Biggs', the druggist. ' • ■-•■ -«:::: Special Bargains FOB j HOUSEKEEPERS For This Week Only! 10 doz.

' •' Each had met her recently, though on different occasions. Each was positive that the other was mistaken. Both were be coming heated, and the ties of a life-long friendship were on the point of being sundered forever when I appeared upon the scene. My arrival was hailed with delight, and I was instantly appealed to, ••Well, dear boys,'' said I, "like the knights of old who came from opposite ' directions and quarreled over the shield that was on one | side gold and on the other silver, you are both right and both wrong." "Yellow! I told you so! The prettiest shade I ever saw!" exclaimed Harry. "Her hair is red, and I know it!" retorted Fred. '•Gentle men, "1 continued, "the tresses in question are neither ted nor yellow, though often either. The hair that grows upon dear Fanny's head is black. She possesses a ■ number of wigs, and she wears them to horuiouize her various towns." Something was immediately said about going out to have something, but as I wasn't asked to go, I'm .sure I don't Know what that "some thing" was. *** But it is rather puzzling, I admit, to meet a damsel with hair a3 b lack as a raven's wing, and t<» find her twenty-four hours later metamorphosed into a lovely blonde. I don't wonder that the boys get a little confused. Why, it's enough to set even strong brains in a whirl. *** There are several of the girls in our set, though, who fill me with wonder and awe. : How they manage it I don't know, but their waists grow smaller and smaller da y by day. I honestly tear it they keep on at their present rate of decrease that they will awake some tine morning to find* themselves in two pieces. , '-v.j ';.'•. **• The scent of orris root and lavender which, greets your nostrils at fashionable parlor doors, proceeds - from the sachet bags that are fastened upon the easy chairs. The outer covering of these sachets should be the ! Japanese mats that are sold at the fancy ! stores, and narrow ribbons in gay colors must hold them in place. A lady visiting in England says that we at home have yet to master th« art of en tertaining. An English woman is so ac | customed to the presence of guests that she j is less put out by a dinner at which covers are laid for a hundred and fifty, than is a St. Paul housekeeper over a little euchre party. Of course the English woman has the advantage in having trained servants at her command; still it does seem as if we might learn to receive visitors without turn ing our houses inside out and upside down, and causing our friends to feel as if they owed us an apology for coming to see us. "V In England, too, the hostess takes it for granted that her friends have come to, see her and each other and to have a good time, and not for the purpose of getting a square meal. The refreshments that she provides, therefore, for her tennis parties, and indeed, for all her parties, save the very grandest affairs, are simple in the extreme, consist ing of tea, thin slices of bread and butter, currant cake and fruit; positively nothing . more. *** "Adopt if yon like the pronunciation and the tailor-made suits," says the young American abroad further on in her letter, "but for goodness sake, keep to your own ' style of dancing. These hish-born English men and maidens don't dance. I assure you; they prance, with about as much grace as is exhibited by a lot of frisky young heifers." You can fix the social status of a young lady by one glance at the neat and natty ulster that she wears. The more capes to the wrap the more swell the girl. The rule is invariable. Lady Rambler.
