/ two or three years she played in his company.
Every night she was his mimic sweetheart.
During all that time they never carried on
the slightest conversation while away from

st Paul has an absent-minded real estate
man who is perfectly conscious OF his defect
i'm that particular, and does all In his power
| to overcome Ii, or at least TO avoid any of the
bad results that might naturally be expected
/ from dereliction in keeping appointments.
The night before the day OF any important
/ business meeting he writes a postal calling
attention TO the engagement. This he directs
10 himself at his business Office and either
places 1t in the mail box or gives it TO his
wife to be mailed the first thing in the
morning.

During the day the postal card comes to
him, and If he has neglected the call or en-
gagement, he forthwith starts out on his
journey. If the business had been attended
TO no harm is done.
A similar plan is carried out if he wishes to
accomplish anything at night and desires to
have his memory logged on thar score. He
| sends postal card. containing the desired
memorandum, TO his residence from where
ever he may chance TO be when the thought
strikes him. 1t is awaiting him when he ar
rives home at night and serves the Purpose.
In this way, he says, he overcomes all the
bad features Of poor memory and so far has
never known his scheme TO fail.

A resident of West st. Paul is very appre-
hensive lest a cyclone should visit this city.
He has always experienced great fear about
tornadoes, but his fright has been greatly III
tensifed since the recent cyclone disaster at
| Sank Rapids and st. Cloud. The least evil
dence of wind scare him into a state of in
activity, while a blow with a threatening
bank of clouds drives him into the cellar.
For two days he has spent the better part
of his time down in the cold, moist and disa-
greeable cellar and when out OF the impro-
vised protection against a cyclone has seated
himself near the door of the cellar so as to
be ready on the slightest exchse to go below.

While he was momentarily above ground
neighbor, who, knowing his weakness, had
determined to tease him, d opped in. The
conversation soon drifted to cyclones and the
best place 10 avoid its death dealing force
1.-The cellar is good enough for me-" re-
marked the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., as he
looked anxiouslr out of the window as If to
reassure himself that no storm was in prog
ress, land at the first evidence of a cyclone,
shall get down in the cellar
1.-The poorest place you can get" said the

rafters and wreck will bury a man in the
cellar. No cellar for me. / will run for an
open space and take my chances in lodging
things as they go by me-
At that point the wind, which had been
blowing very fresh and strong, came along in
puts of unusual violence, slamming shutters
and doors and making considerable noise.
''It's coming. for your hvesT' yelled mis-
| chievous member of the family.
Two men dashed down in the cellar and re-
| manned there for some time. One was the oc-
! cupant of the house and the other was the
visiting neighbor.
Two men sat in Minneapolis restaur-
ant. They were talking of the recent defeat
of Mr.. Pillsbury by Mayor Ames, and they
were drinking wine
Il tell ye, me boy" remarked one of them,
as he raised his wine glass and looked patron
izingly on the wine as well as on his compan-
/ ion, George Pfllsbury remoinds me of that
great remark that old Napoleon made when
| he last saw Waterloo"
"what'er yer givin' me, anyway queried
his companion at strikes me yer getting
well up In politics when yer wiring in straug-
ers on us that's away. What ward did they

WAS battlefield where old Nap got licked.
When he left that foine field he said, L came.

at strikes me you get good many let

panion rs the latter opened the sixth con-
| secutive daily letter.
| ..Oh," replied the recipient of the epistle
that's FROM my father. It's the tenth one
| during the past two weeks He has Just
| learned that have entered an architects
office and he wants to help me along. So he
gets down an encyclopedia and COPIES every
| thing that Is written about architecture and
sends IL TO me. He thinks that we don't have
MANY books out here on that subject, Us he
has an dca that the houses are rude frame
affairs. He lives in Boston, you know"

A barber Informed me yesterday that he
did not think there was any danger that the
| uoh OIuluduCc. cuppS % n
Sunday. would be successfully carried out.
| Personally, he said. he was in favor Of clos
| ing up Sunday, as the sunday morning busi-
ness never paid, but was carried on for the
| convenience of the shop patrons. BARRIERS
| were like other men. ana would enjoy the holi
day by making it a day OF rest. They would
not enjoy IL If compelled to work until past
IL o'clock on Saturday night, rs would be the
case in the rush of customers get ready for
Sunday. The general public he thought,
would become tired OF such an arrangement
and demand a repeal of the ordinance.
Sc
He said that similar ordinances had been
tried in st. Louis and New York, but had
proved faIiures in each case. If not repealed
in a short time the ordinance became a dead
letter and no one p etended 20 obey IL, and no
one was molested for violating IL in the most
open ano barefaced mSnner. He claimed
that IL came in poor grace from community
where the saloons were allowed to remain
open on Sunday, ms he thought that the ordi-
nance relating to the closing of liqucr places
should be rigidly enforced before IL was at
tempted TO close up the barber shops The
, latter, he said, were not noisy, and were, in
no sense, nuisances on unbecoming Christ
ian city Furthermore, he said that many
strangers, travelling men, visited ST. Paul
every Sunday for the express purpose OF get
ting good shave, being deprived OF such in
the smaller towns. The closing up ordinance
would drive them away, he said, and would
thus deprive the st. Paul hotels OF that
amount OF custom.

A prominent Republican oHice-holder, who
is in position to know whereof he speaks,
said yesterday that unless an unusually
strong Republican state ticket was placed In
the field next full, giving n good place to the
Swodes and another 10 the Norwegians, the
democrats would stand mighty good show OF
elecung their men. He reasoned that the
