Energy and Crowned With
Success.

Whoever shall! in future years write the
history of Minneapolis he will devote con-
siderable space in rounding up the year
1885 to the consideration of the inception
and contamination of the idea OF an idus-
trial exposition. This one event will make
the year famous and coming generations,
in reckoning time, will date from the year
in which the exposition was organized"
Quite some months ago the thought of an
exposition was casually expressed. but was
presented in such shape that it took no
hold upon the public mind. But it was not
forgotten and in September came back like
an echo, gathering strength as neared. The
produce exchange first sprung it upon the
public and as result public meeting was
held in the rooms of the exchange on Mon
day, Sept. 20, when the subject was in
formally discussed. The various mercan-
tile and trade organizations were requested
to appoine committees to meet in confer
ence at the West hotel on the following
Friday night. The committees were APP

and a few wine Then the conversation
turned to opium smoking.
Il wish could remember the dream
had last night" said one.
Cant you remember your visions?"
asked the reporter.
No." was the answer. ''Thats what
makes me mad. / will sometimes seem in
heaven, and the moment awake it's all
lost. l never remembered dream so that
l could tell about it the next morning.
There is nothing distinct about my visions.
feel all the time kind of cnnfused happi-
ness that have tried in.vain to fathom."
Sr"How long have yOn smOked?"
-t'sOh, I'm an old hand. Three years ago
last winter l first hit the pipe and have
kept at it off and ON ever since. l had the
habit bad while ago, about the time got
plnched with two young lady friends whom
l had inducsd to go with ME to see an
Elliott street joint. The police took us all
ina terrible stab. 1t seems just as if the
Globeput itself out to break up our smoking
places. Wasn't mad. though; when read
the story of our appearance in court in the
evening paper.
.'Pd just like to get hold of that reporter
fortunes minutes, "he said, with closed teeth.
S1alf bet he wouldn't write another piece like
that for one year."
The writer drew a deep. but inaudible
sigh. His conscience troubled him. Was
it not his duty to tell the irate smoker that
the author of the alleged funny story was
within convenient reach OF his left fist?
Self-preservatiOn argued to the contrary,
and he only said. with shaky accent,
yves, it was rather mean job to put up
on the crowd"
One by one the smokers closed their con-
versation. The room was crowded in every
part, and the proprietor said there would be
no others admitted that night. The smoke
filled the room in clouds. The reporter was
restless, and, being unable to sleep, he ,on
got up and quietly sat in chair. From
the seat he occupied the room and its
inmates could be distinctly seen.
Over in the northwest corner, near the
bed. was party of four sleeping soundly
upon their mat. Their lamp was burning
low, the card of opium was exhausted-the
fascinating narcotic had done its work. The
owner and his wife were likewise asleep
upon the bed. A smile of seeming content
ment rested on her features. Her husbands
face. on the contrary. was dark and
troubled.
Beyond them on the floor, was group of
young men smoking slowly in silence.
Only power of action remained i'll them.
Their minds were fully lost in the fantastic
visions that came in the fragrant smoke. At
the foot of the bed were the two girls, Sleep
