taught how to carry an umbrella" said
citizen yesterday. 81 was coming down
Wabasha street this afternoon and hap
pened to be looking over my shoulder when
something prodded me in the ear. A little
scream followed and l found my
self mixed up with good
looking woman and dllapidated
umbrella. She had come rushing along
with the umbrella opened before her, sup
posing everybody would clear her path. OF
course, was mad, but she was so pretty
that Immediately shouldered all the blame
myself and bought her new umbrella and
when she left me she opened it and getting
it before her put down her head and went
rushing up the street as bad as ever. I'll

One of the gains that has come to st. Paul
since the Ryan hotel was built, and to
judge from the attendance it is not the
least of the advantages, is the convenience
for entertainments other than those of a
strictly social nature. The large dining
room made all admirable hall for the Gest
concert on Thursday night, and no
hall in the city could have
been made as attractive and luxurious. al

the ordinary last evening. And then there

Mr.. A. j. Sawyer of Duluth said last
evening that all statements that real estate
in his city was held at boom prices were
erroneous. The prices were not up to
Fargo rates. and though the Zenith City was
expected to boom as hard in the next five
years as in the last. the property owners
there did not want the earth. AS an evil
dence he cited the fact that several Mime
apolis men had recently made good-sized
purchases there among the number being
G. NJ. LOring, Loren Fletcher and John IL.
Thompson.
