Not an Imitation.
Indianapolis Herald.1

Ella Wheeler Wilcox is very indignant over the treatment of her new book, aML Moulee," by certain (male) critics, sev. eral of whom have taken 1t upon them- selves to warn young men against its pc rusal. on the ground that 1t teaches i'm. morality, by implication. On the other hand, Mrs Wilcox has been in receipt of many complimentary letters from women most of them mothers-w1o declare that the moral of the book is excellent, and commend it to all young men, as full et instruction and admoniton. One critic asserts that "Mal Moulee" is "a weak imitation of Ouida.'" This fellew doubtless never read line of " O aida, and if he has, his remark shows him inc capable Of making critical comparisons. Mrs. Wilcox is woman, in every true sense of the word, of warm and generous impulses and positive genius. A com bination of this kind Is rarely presented in nature, and for that reason women of her class are usually misunderstood.

[Gallagnini's Paris) Messenger.l
 A duel between lady and gentleman is not common occurrence, yet we have the record of duel just having been fought between lady and a gentlem an in Warsaw. The latter had offered the lady his hand, which she refused, where upon he spread abroad reports injurious to her good name. Several gentlemen came forward in knighuy manner and volunteered to avenge her by challeng gins her calumniator to duel. She replied that if duel was required in order to vindicate her honor, she conceived that she had right and title to be one of the principals. The strong-minded damsel prided herself upon being a good shot, and resolved to punish her 1aducer, but not to injure him mortally. She sent him . challenge; he accepted it, and the duelists met in place outside Warsaw. Happily, both missed their aim. The lady wanted to fire the second time; but her second assured her that full repara- tion had been made. Her adversary vas so moved by her masculine gallantry that he made her a formal apology, which she accepted.

A GOOD IDEA.

1t is suggested that a "Sauk Centre
day" be made one of the features of
the district fair at st. Cloud. A
number of cur citizens are interested
in the scheme, and it could be made
most enjoyable occasion. If taken
hold of in the right way it would be
a brilliant success. A special train
with low rates could be secured,
leaving here in the morning and re-
turning in the evening, giving the
entire day at the fair grounds.
Would it not be well for our Board
of Trade to take hold of this matter,
stir up little enthusiasm, and get
up an excursion which would show
this section of country that we are
alive and can appreciate good
thing. One day given to this sort of
recreation would be thoroughly en-
joyed and would do the village a vas t
amount Of good. Let us have Sank
Centre day. &

of clear majority for neither of

chances are that Mr.. Gilman has
more second strength in reserve

case he will secure the honorable
preferment on second or third bal
