Elbow different are the ways of people
who hail street cars" remarked a man on
the corner yesterday. l notice the woman
who has pretty hand encased in neat
glove steps to the edge of the sidewalk,
glances at the driver. raises her arm little,
wiggles her hand slightly and places the
tip of her index finger to her lips as though
she was afraid she had done
something wrong. 1t is very
pretty act and looks little coquet-
bracelet full of bangles comes UP
She lifts her hand rather high, shakes it up
and down three or four times and then
holds her hand at half arms length with
her fingers gracefully curving downward.
This position exhibits the bracelet to good
advantage, and she evidently is on to the
fact. Then there is the middle-aged wo-
man who evidently works for living; she
advances toward the car. and looking the
driver full in the face, gives her hand one
toss upward and yelIs ''hold up" and the
driver usually holds up promptly. The
lady with pretty teeth, whether natural or

and broad-soled shoes is independent, and
usually woman who thinks deeply and
gives but little time to the trifing things of
the world. She's invariably the kind OF a
woman to tie to: but when you see Wo-
man with only the top button OF her shoe
buttoned avoid her, young man, for she
wouldn't care whether you got your meals
on time or not"

AS the assertion continues to be made in
some quarters that the gas company has
passed into the hands of an Eastern syndi-
cate it may be well enough to state that the
Frosts, who purchased a large block of the
stock have become residents of the city,
and that Crawford Livingston, who owns
an equal share with them, is as rabid st.
Paul man as they make 'em. AS to Gen.
Sibley comment is unnecessary.

In recent divorce suit in this county the
jury returned for verdict that the defend
ant was guilty of cruel and inhuman treat
ment and that there was no condolement.

he gazed upon it long and earnestly and
handing it back to the clerk he suggested in
an undertOne that the jury better make 1t
condonement. The jury complied, but
acted just as though the Judge was particu-
lar about small matter.

The delegates to the Sunday school mis-
sionary conference held here during the

ments to business. While waiting in a
