To go back to the old subject, am going
riding with Mr.. Danforth this afternoon.
1 have pretty new habit, dark green, and
hat to match. Are you reading '.Howelrs
Indian Summer" i'll the country? In some
vile. He is just as lazy and deliberate in
his style and just as fascinating. How
wish you knew him. Well, if you are a
real good girl you will soon have the OPP
portunity. How would Mrs. before my
name look and what kind of a matron do
you think [ would make? Stately? I am
really glad you do one thing that is
civilized, and thai is your long walks.
We have regular walking parties every
morning. Honor bright, now, don't you
sometimes long for fresh fields and pastures
new? Don't my letters make you little
homesick? Don't you wish you had never
even heard of Dakota? If so I have not
lived In vain. for it has been my aim this
summer to make you thoroughly sick Of
your crazy expedition. I must go now to
dress for dinner. A thousand kisses go
with this letter. In my next expect I
will have some startling news for you. In
the meantime think up the most becoming
dress for q certain occasion. What long
letters l write. But that proves all the
more that am truly thine,
LILLIAN II. RUSSELL.

her travelling dress, it behooves us Door
mortals to look to our laurels when she ap-

nearly killed him. After severe cough
ing spell he told me that he wanted his
picture taken. He was not after a like
ness, he said but wanted something to
send to friends in the East to show them
how much he had improved during his stay
in Minnesota. He wanted picture that
would make him look fat. So he got in
position, and by holding his breath man
aged to make his cheeks puff out. This,
of course made the cheeks out of all pro-
portion to the rest of his face, and gave
him the appearance of being the cornet
player in a brass band. The picture proved
satisfactory and the mother-in-law kept
away. The poor fellow died in peace with
out her.
Dogs are no easy thing to take, are
they?" queried the second man. Il never
tried one until about two years ago. A
young woman, apparently sane and sober.
came up with a darn little dog and wanted
his picture. She called him a nice little
boy, and actually kissed the brute then and
there. If hadn't been hard up 1 wouldn't
have fooled with the dog. as it was 1 tried
him. No mother was half as particular
about the looks of her first born than that
woman was with that dog. Two or three
negatives were taken before she was salts
fed. But here they are as she appeared
hugging that pup up close to her face.'

SHE LOVES ME-:
.resses adown the lawn

Dark expresses adown the lawn
Are trembling meath the breath Of eve,
And midst the myrtles far withdrawn
Their saddened strains the bulbuls weave;
This fragment moonlight should pour balm
Ger souls distraught with cares and wos,
But walk lonely-what shall calm
The waves which constant tempests blow:
In vain beside the fountains brink
l linger, racked in heart and brain;
At times cen Overwhelmed will sink
Is loving quite an unmiked gain?
And faith-do whispered words hold true?
Will stars avenge the VOWS they heard?
Fate is this lily's flower I'll view
Affections fate too long deferred.
The cleaning flower I slowly raise,
A petal falls-"he loves me!''-there.
Observation-Disclosures amaze
To touch the last scarcely dare!
Pluck we up courage for the test
'He loves me!'-joy! shake dusky domes,
Your orange blooms-I know the rest
For through the roses, 10! he comes!

''This SKETCH" said the first speaker as
he busted himself on a second drawing
which he exhibited to his companion, rep
reSents most peculiar customer who Wis
tied me once for the purpose of having his
picture taken. He was the thinest man
ever saw up and around and could easily
have been mistaken for a living skeleton.
1t seems that he came out to ST. Paul for
his health, but was so far gone with con-
sumption that even the Minnesota climate
could not benefit him. A widower he was
who left behind him in the East mother
in-law, who, knowing that he had plenty
of money, was very solicitous about his
condition. She had written him that un-
less he was great deal better she would
come out to St. Paul and take care of him.
To prevent this was his one idea and
aim"

DAKOTA, Aug. 10.-You did not spare
me in your condemnation, nor did l expect
you would. Well, it does look like slight
attack of insanity, but let US hope it is tenn
porary. l have been here five weeks, and
like Phil and Nan, l just revel in the
beauties of Dakota, and close my eyes dis
creetly to the diScOmfOrtS. The climate is
perfectly lovely. Nowhere is there such
air, such blue skies and such sunshine.
You can see for miles and miles the most
beautiful rolling priarieS, and on clear
mornings the mirage is something wonder
full. Now, l am no boomer for Dakota;
am neither that lofty individual, townsite
man. nor am interested in land speculation;
but to me, leaving out the winds, mos
auitoes and the alkali water, Dakota is per-
feet, and you know every couch
must have its crumpled roseleaf.
The winds are simply furious and

loved bangs are at discount and every
hair in that bang stands On end when
out of doors. But, l have even cotton

With the cool weather that now prevails

The balls during the past week have been
largely attended, and amusements of all
kinds have Jared better. Last week the
Sunday school picnics were the means of
attracting large crowds, while the evening
concerts at the hotels added to the throngs
who are permanently located. On Friday
evening the st. Louis Hotel gave ball to
the guests which was a brilliant affair and
the most successful of the season. and at
the Hotel Lafayette, the same night, large
audience greeted the young prima

the dance at the Lafayette was
the feature at the lake, and guests
and friends from abroad crowded the ball

toilets displayed were elegant, and the
amount of diamonds glittering in the gas
light called to mind the Palnach at Delmon-

Gen. Sherldan's New Friend.

Washington Letter to Baltimore American.
A rather dramatic scene occurred at tho
panorama of the battle of Bull Run to-day.
Calvin Chase, the colored newspaper edi-
tor, was explaining to several friends the
leading features of the battle when he was
interrupted by big, burly fellow, who an
nounced himself as a Virginian who had
owned a hundred negroes before the war
and who noisily demanded to know what
right Chase had to discuss questions relat-
ing to the rebellion. There were number
of people present at the time, and Chase,
unwilling to be drawn into quarrel with
the man, who was evidently under the in
fuence of liquor, modestly withdrew. The
Virginian then in loud voice declared that
he could lick any Yankee that ever lived,
and directed his remarks principally to
stout, stocky little man standing near.
The latter made sharp rejoinder, which
finally led to the Virginian inquiring the
little mans name. my name is Philip II.
Sheridan, present address War Depart
ment, Washington, d. Co." was the I'M
expected reply. The Virginian raised his
hat politely and, extending his hand, said:

four years to lick you and never fairly sue

man than l am. Shake" The general
''shook" and there the matter ended.

Equestrianisn, in Hyde Park,

Il
The time for riding in Hyde park hag
very sensibly changed during the last few
years, and while the midday ride, whick
formerly was the great daily assembly of
equestrians, has become comparatively de-
serted, more and more people among thu
persons of consideration ride early in thS
morning-from 9 till 1O:30-while those
who cannot do this ride in the evening. OF
late, during the hot weather, the early
morning ride has been particularly ami.
mated, and all the more so because of the
costumes to which the heat has driven those
who come out at that hour. The favorit(
costume appears to be white duck riding

coat and shirt uncovered by any waist

ladies and gentlemen, and so are in some
