AFRAID OF HER.
A Saratoga Adventures Black
mails q Timid Gentleman.
Boston Letter.

Boston Letter. =.
There has been recently-indeed.
when is there not?-some cases of at
tempted blackmail here, and apropos
the following story was recently told.
A gentleman who was staying at hotel
in Saratoga was one morning passing
down a corridor which led from his
room, when lady who stood in the
door of her room accosted him:
Il beg your pardon" she said, s'but
can you tell me the time?''
He looked at her and judged her to be
a respectable and inoffensive person.
1T is half past TO-" he REPLIED con-
sulting his watch.
The woman turned back into her
chamber, but instantly wheeled about
again.
Il am very sorry to trouble you.'' she
said, ''but my clock is stopped, and do
not know how to set it. / have an i'm
pOrtant engagement in about an hour.
and | shall be extremely obliged if YOU
will set it for me-"
The gentleman kindly and rashly ac-
ceded to her request and stepped into
the chamber. On the mantel Stood an
ordinary travelling clock. He went up
to it, took out his watch again, and laid
it on the shelf while he proceeded to set

the clock. The lady followed him and
picked up the timepiece.
What a beautiful watch" she said.
YES" he answered, turning away
from the clock. ut is an heirloom"
81 think" the woman observed,
.'that will keep this watch.'
And as she spoke she showed him in
the other hand the key of the door
which she had noiselessly closed and
locked. He looked at her a moment in
silence.
Every well,'' he said, holding out his
hand for the key.
~ She tucked the watch into the bosom
of her gown and gave him the key,
smiling serenely. He opened the door
and then turned back.
Upon second thought" he said, with
unruffied GOODNESS, l think l will re-
deem the::watch. 1t is an heirloom, and
L am fond of it,
YES" she responded.
Il will give you $50 for it," he said,
taking out his pocKetbook.
G5 Very we'll" replied the adventures,
producing the watch.
|sai He gave her the money, took the
watch and departed poorer but posi-
bly, wiser man.
p When this tale was recited at the club
the gentleman who told it related it as
an adventure which had befallen a
friend of his. When he ended some one
asked:
But why in the name of common
sense didn't he ring the bell or kick up
a row."
''He knew BETTER" responded the
narrator with smile. HE was locked
alone in a chamber with daring and
abandoned woman who would have
fought to the last gasp. 1t was worth
more than $50 to him to escape the
scandal"
THAT is all very WE'LL" observed an
other club man: ''butsif he had looked
the baggage in the face and calmly
calculated oh, ratsp she would have
come down quickly enough"

WILL GET THE EARTH,
The Exposition Management
Reaching Out for New Attrac-

The Exposition Management
Reaching Out for New Attrac-
tions.
Manager Palmer and his assistants
are continually naming some new at
traction for the next annual exposition.
and very frankly acknowledge that they
intend to keep on so long
as attractions can be found. The
demand for space is greater
than ever before at this time
of year, it being so great that there will
not be the slightest difficulty to get a
sufficient number of exhibits to occupy
all the available space. There is
chance, however, of course, of those
who had exhibits last year waking up
one of these mornings only to find that
the space which they seem to believe
belongs to them has been given to some
one else. The fact that a firm mas a
booth already in the exposition does not
insure the space it occupies. There
must be an application filed in Manager
Palmer'S office.
Among the attractions agreed upon
during the past week are several that
will no doubt prove very Entertaining.
8 The West Side Turner's have begun the
preparation of a programme to be given
one Gay ullueI tlle ulIccllOn OF Hr0f.
A. f. Underwater. This programme is
to be an extensive one and will include
all of the different classes, from
the little children just learning to march
to those who do the most difficult of
gymnastic feats.
There is scheme on foot to have a
chorus of children, ranging from eight
to fifteen years of age, from the public
schools, this chorus to be under the di-
rection of Profs. Raymond and Shy
rock. These directors think they can
get together chorus of 500 OF 1000
members.
The children present at the session of
the Hennepin County Sunday School
association will visit the exposition on
Tuesday, Aug. %. There will be a

The vestibuled train service on this

and without any extra fare, is better
than any similar train service between
the older cities of the Atlantic coast,

only line with the Pullman and Wagner

CAUGHT AT A GLANCE.
How the Average Customer Is
Sized Up and Suited.

Sized Up and Suited.
1t is wonderful how quickly and easily
practical salesman or saleslady will
catch the wishes OF the customer often
times it is done before the party has
spoken word. To please and to do it
quickly is the key note to the merchants
success. This happy faculty, however,
seems more naturally to belong to Nine.
Coe than any one else. Her grow
ing popularity and gradual in
crease OF business for the past
Few years have been marvellous.
Inc secret, however, lay as with many
others in her natural ability to foresee
the requirements of her trade. For
every one that enters her store she
seems. to have just the article in the
line IL OF millinery goods they come for.
Her stock this spring is larger and more
complete than ever before. She has
hats for the opera, for church or for the
street. Hats for grown people and lit
tie ones. Hats to cover the massive
brain and those to fit heads without
much brains. She has to have them,
and she does have them. Ladies
have long since learned to call
on Madame Coe when they want
the very finest hat and one that is sure
to be in the latest style. They know
she is posted and can tell in a minute
what they want, and she does. AS one
lady recently expressed herself: sit is
comfort after looking all over town
for the article required to call ON Mad
anne COe and find it without an effort"
Such people know just where to go
after that for millinery goods,

BARNABEE'S PSALM.
He Sings a New Solo in Chicago
and StartIes the Natives,

Barnabee, of the Bostonians, has
paralyzed Chicago reporter with the
following characteristic conversation.
Mr.. Barnabee SMILED and wiped his
eyes; then he heaved a sigh so profound
that it seemed to partake of the I'M
fashionable woe of neither borborygm.
'Ah, WELL" he resumed, ''life is full
trials, full of sorrows, full of Affections.
The objects we loved yesterday are torn
from us to-day; the idol of tomorrow is

eve blasted by the bitterly adverse blasts

codfshballs with him at the Parker

that sanity character, laying aside the
knife with which he had been putting

cantante voice of his: THE human
heart must love or it rusts to death.
Take from it the Is and it
will reach out for the To Be,
and either will not rest till it

Vases constitute the Were. If there be
no To Be to take the place of the Is, the
hungering heart furnishes and dies

dawn, this threshold-of her career
gives promise of glorious future"

SECOND WARD DEMOCRATS
Hear the Addresses on the Issues
of the Campaign.

of the Campaign.
The Second Ward Democratic club
had largely attended meeting last
night at its club room, 407 Fourteenth
avenue southeast. The meeting was
called to order by Vice President w. E.
Hewitt. who, after the transaction of
the routine work of the club, introduced
the speakers of the evening". C.
Haynes and Judge John B. Quinn.
Mr.. Haynes confined his remarks
to the Infamous system of trusts
which has sprung into existence during
past Republican miSrule, and which
threatens the industrial life of the ma
ton and which will require all the abil-
ity and integrity of the Democratic ad-
ADMINISTRATION to stitle. Mr.. Haynes said
that the word trust was a misnomer.
that they were infamous monopolies.
Judge Quinn was alive to the tariff
issue and made it the subject of his elo-
Quent address, which was pregnant
with sound logic and a clear
headed and sensible portrayal of
the question. The judge is
evidently a Democrat of the older
school, as he reveres and respects the
constitution drawn by its founder, and
in which the speaker said he could find
no letter allowing OF permitting a pro-
hibitOry tariff. After the conclusion of
the address by Judge Quinn there was
a general discussion, in which several
of the club took part. After a vote of
thanks to the speakers of the evening
the club adjourned to Saturday, June 2.

Since Frank F. Davis was elected
chairman of the Minnesota delegation to
Chicago, the young men of the party
have come to the conclusion that they
own the party. The consequence is
that they have laid claim to the eighty
six county and city offices which are to
be filled at the coming cleo
ton, and are busily engaged making
what they call an equal division of the
spoilS. The most excitement seems to
be over the awarding of the legislative
offices. There are six members to be
elected to the legislature from the
aSpirantS for these six places are Alick

credit for starting the boom for Frank
Davis for chairman of the Minnesota
delegation to Chicago. But r. q. Evans
is the man entitled to that honor.

Fifty-nine others. weighing from one to
thirty-five pounds each, were found
there at the same time. The big mug

original condition weighed twelve
pounds more. 1t is almost pure silver.
