The impression has for long time pre-
vailed throughout the country naturally
contributory to St. Paul, that Chicago
was the only place where hogs
could be sold to advantage OF slaughtered
and packed In large quantities. In sense
this has heretofore been true. At all events,
the metropolis at the head OF Lake
Michigan had unequaled facilities for
command of limitleSs market.
But various circumstances have combined
to modify that phase OF things. The pro-
ducers of very large section of the stock
growing country west and north of us can
now send their pork crop to st. Paul for a
cons derably less freight charge than
to Chicago. besides having 1t on the road
subject to the dangers and inevitable depre-
ciation incident to railway transportation
for a good deal less time. Besides, the
strikes and constantly recurring labor
troubles at the Chicago stock yards have
tended to materially unsettle values there,
and it is also an acknowledged fact that far
higher wages are paid In the Chicago pack
ing houses for the same work than
anywhere else. The time, therefore, was
suspicious for st. Paul to come to the front
as pork packing center and 1t certainly
has manifest advantages which have
been long enough overlooked. They
have not, it is true, been entirely
overlooked, for several years ago
Mr. j. r. Mcmillan. one Of our
farseeing business men erected substantial
packing house on the corner Of Eighth and
Minnesota streets. 1t was supposed to be
abundantly large to meet all the emergen-
cieS of the trade for years to come, but 1t
was soon apparent that the busl-
ness would speedily outgrow it, and
Mr.. Mcmillan set about preparations for
extending his quarters. His preparations
were opportnnely made. for he was sadly
crowded at the old establishment, before
the new one was ready. He moved into
the latter the last of October and it is
now in successful operation. 1t covers an
area of five acres near the upper levee, it
is complete in all of its appointments. and
can slaughter and take care of 1000
head of hogs per day. At this estab-
lishment Minnesota farmers can always
obtain the best current prices for their
pork. which is of a superior quality. while
our local dealers can purchase here as good.
if not a better. article of picked
pork, bacon hams, shoulders, etc,
than can be obtained elsewhere.
The meat put up by Mr..
Mcmillan has secured a high reputation
wherever introduced and it is safe to pre-
dict that the time is not distant when it
will be in general use throughout the vast
region that looks hither for its provision
supply.

Have splendid stock of carpets, curtains,
paper hangings, ETC., which just now, when
the holiday season is approaching, is attract
ing an unusually large throng of customers
from far and near. This is the oldest house
in this department of trade; it is the largest,
also. and apparently the most generally
popular Within the last year it has fur
nshed the carpets. curtains and wall paper
for a large number of our leading public
and private buildings. and in every instance
has secured the contract in spite of the
sharpest competition.
This house invariably has whatever is
novel. elegant and stylish in its line, its
prices are as low as could be asked in rea-
son. and the work it undertakes is always
well and promptly done. 1t is located at
Nos. 10 and 81 West Third street. and is
one of the ST. Paul merchant palaces that
should be visited by all strangers who drift
hither.

The 81. Paul Furniture Company

Is one of the large manufacturing concerns
that has materially assisted in giving this
city its prestige as manufacturing center.
This company manufactures about
everything that :, can be mentioned
in the way of house, office.
church and public hall furniture. and
has acquired the reputation of turning out
better article for the money than any eS-
adjustment west of the lakes. 1t is prob
ably true that no manufactOry in the North
west employs such a large percentage
of tirst-rate skilled workmen, but only
such could suit its customers. who expect
that whatever comes from this house will
be the best, not only in workmanship, but
in style and material also.
The furniture for majority of our best
public and private buildings was manufac-
tured by this company, and it will compare
favorably with the product of any of the
old Eastern establishments.
ST. Paul likes to believe that its manu-
factories are fully commensurate with the
requirements of its trade; they certainly are
in the line of furniture.

A bouncing Bride.

There was a wedding the other night
in cottage on Benton street, and
about II O'Clock a number of BOYS cot
together to give the newly-marrfed
couple serenade. They had horns and
tin pans and various other musical in
struments, and had just turned up when
the groom came to the door and said;
Boys, don't. This ere noise disturbs

A clod of earth hit him below the
belt, and he retired for few minutes.
When he reappeared he announced:

lie retired again as chunks of dirt
began to rattle around his ears, but in
short time the door was thrown open
and the bride jumped out with a club
IN her hand. She was all business from
the start, and more than one serenader
got sound whack before he distaneed
her. In five minutes she had scattered
the crowd over ten acres, and the bus-
band stood in the door and clapped his
hands and shouted:

MosT people know the bentit of
lemonade before breakfast, but few
know that it is more than doubled by
taking another at night also The
way to get the better of the bilious
system, without blue pills or quinine,
is to take one, two or three lemons, as

water as makes it pleasant to drink

the morning, on rising, at least a half

The Romance of a Model.

''One of the most remarkable Incl
dents happened to an artist friend OF
mine who has since moved to Boston, y
said prominent New York painter re-
Gently. HE had just opened a studio
on Fourteenth street and not knowing
the ropes very well advertised for q
model. They came in shoals from all
quarters of the city-old, young, and
indifferent-but none of them seemed
suited for the figure he had in view
One day when he was getting about
tired out hunting around for d subject a
young woman dressed entirely in black
applied to him for work. She said she
had never posed before, but was very
destitute and would gladly work for
almost anything to support herself and
her little girl There was something
about her face that pleased him, 50 he
engaged her on the spot, though not
half believing the story she told him.
But he grew interested in her case any
way, and decided on making use of her
services.
The subject of the picture was
night, and represented female figure
with black draperies half reclining on

The picture was completed and was a
fine piece of work. 1t hung in Broad
way dealers store for several weeks and
then sold for 81, 800 to an Englishman.
The purchaser came around to see the
artist few days later to give him an
order for companion picture to repre-

that the first work interested him
strangely, inasmuch as the face re-
minded him strongly of a friend he
had known some years ago. He asked
the artist if the face was taken from
life, and being assured that it was, and
getting the address of the model, set
out to find her.
''Well, the upshot of the matter was
the purchaser of the picture turned out
to be none other than her husband,

his desertion. had been hunting high

How to Tell Counterfeits.

The United States Treasury Depart
ment has of late years adopted for bonds
and currency peculiar paper described
below, and which is deemed a stronger
protection against counterfeiters than
that used by the Bank of England. which
has recently been dangerously counter
feited in ESQ, f100 and f500 notes.
As the first issue of greenbacks, which
were not printed on fiber paper, were
most dangerously counterfeited. but
have almost wholly disappeared from
circulation, therefore receive them with
great caution, or refuse them if in doubt
about their genuineness.
All other genuine greenbacks. gold
and silver certificates and later issues of
National bank notes are printed on the
Government paper, the first kind with
the fiber distributed in short pieces,
localized with blue tint, detected by
picking it with a pen; the other with the
fiber in two parallel threads, red and
blue silk, running lengthwise through
the note, seen by holding the note UP to
the light. The public are cautioned not
to draw these threads out of the paper.
If in doubt about the genuineness of
any bank note in the report, refuse it
unless printed on Government fiber
paper. All national bank notes not in
this report are genuine, whether printed
on Government paper or not.
The counterfeit so and $50 silver GER
tifcates are not on Government paper.
Some of the counterfeit S., $40 and
$50 greenbacks (series of 1879 and $50
and $500 (series of 1869 are an imita-
ton distributed fiber paper. Very dan
gerous. These are all the counterfeits
on the new greenbacks worth noticing.
Better refuse all twenties, tifties and
one hundreds on the banks in this re-
port unless printed on Government
paper.
All genuine bank notes having brown
back and seal, have both kinds of the
fiber paper combined; while the counter
felt so, on the Third National Bank of
Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Photographic
counterfeit s. on the First National
Bank of Milwaukee, Wis, have no fiber.
These two are the only counterfeits on
the brownbacks.
Better refuse all pieced notes. All
United States currency having a brown
seal has the parallel threads or cables.
All United States currency printed since
1869 is on Government fiber paper.
There are in circulation very danger

ONE of the largest rocks in Pyra-

seen from toward the head of the lake.
1t is called Fremont's Pyramid. On
one OF its sides is a steep slope, which

way. A story is current that the great
Pathfinder found path to the top of
the rock when he passed through to
California in 1916, with Kit Carson for

An invention which, it is claimed by
gas engineers. will revolutionize the
present system of gas lighting has just
been perfected by DR.. HAuer in the
chemical laboratory Of the Vienna
University Briefly described, the in
ventson may be said to consist in
rendering a cotton wick incombustible
by impregnating it with a metallic
liquid. Thus treated the wick, in
stead OF burning. merely glows, emit
ting radiance not unlike that of the
electric light The whole process is
very simple; and the great advantage
OF the invention is that it may be APP
piled to any gas-burner.
