problem: am twice one-half tho age

three years old, now how old am IP"
Tho boys werc in their third year in the
grammer grade and were not re ckoned
stupid or backward by their teacher,
yet this statement of the question was
so much puzzle to them, that. only
four boys out of iifty-ono present
"eaught on to the question and gave
correct answer. l fully expected
every one would answer correctly. and
requested all TO stand and 10 resume

HER BANK ACCOUNT.
1t Lasted just Teu Days and Was Not Ro
plcn'sh by Her Husband

1t Lasted Just Teu Days and Was Not Ro-
plcn' shed by Her Husband.
A well-known banker, who had be-
como tired of the irksome habit Of
fumbling in his vest pocket every
morning that his wifo asked him 10 pay
the necessary household expenses, and
who was smorting from tho sting Of n
recent heavy raid against Reading,
said TO her not long ago at the break
fast table: "Elilh, ] can't be pestered
with these triilos You must open a
bank account. / viii make cash de-
posit, against which you can draw. at
your leisure and so not harpoon me
just as l am about to put on my over
coat for ten dollars here and twenty
dollars there"
The young wifc, to whom The
visions of personal bank account
seemed TO be on n par with private
view of Paradise, readily accom-
panied her husband forthwith to a
fashionable bank on Fifth avenue.
where her signature was enrolled for
Identification, and n pass book, with
$4,000 TO her credit. handed TO her,
together with a pretty pocket check
book, containing fifty blank checks,
and at regular intervals were conye-
nient sheets of blotting paper
Every thing went on smoothly in
the bankers household for some ten
days until. returning home one even-
ing. ho started TO upbraid his wife,
in the following terms:
why. Edith, how could you be so
extravagantP You must have been
getting an entire winters wardrobe
for your poor relatives. in addition TO
paying our household expenses. Your
account is overdrawn. have let
ter from the cashier of your bank,
stating that you are indebted to tho
bank $106 so, and requesting me, at
my earliest convenience, to make
good the amount
mo such thing" she replied, II
still have plenty of money in the
bank, and will prove it to your salts
faction to-morrowmorning."
A visit was made TO the bank, and
the lady was confronted with formid-
able array of figures and vouchers,
confirming the cashiers estimate of
her indebtedness She demonstrated
that a gross injustice had been done
her and offered in evidence ten blank
checks which remained in her check
book, and argued that her balance
could not be exhausted until these
blank checks had bcen used. 1t was
in vain that the cashier tried to con-
vince her that ono check was all that
was necessary at any time to draw out
her entire balance. The banker. how
ever. who has retalled Tho joke at his
wifo's expense on the corridors Of tho
Windsor Hotel, Is going to return to
old principles. The bank account has
been closed. and tho bankers wife
will have TO be satisfied with meekly
pleading every morning for ten or
twenty dollars. as heretofore, which
will be granted according to her hus-
bands credulity in the Legitimacy of
her demands, and provided the session
at poker on the previous night does not
compel him for that particular day to
be harshly economical IN Y Sun.

Shortly before three o'clock yester-

on Poker Hill, and from thcnce Wo

stated that he was soul-destroyer and
ought to be hung 10 the nearest limb,
and that Wo'd be glad to superintend
tho job. Hc held out his hand to Us
with Judas smilo upon his murderous
features, and We were taken off Our
guard. Before We could throw Our
selves into an attitude Of defense (We
have over twenty different attitudes)
Jim landed n right-hander oil Oar

Before We could arise from Our re-

PRIsMATIC THOROUGRFAREs
Crowds of People View the Last
Illumination.

They came, they saw and they went
away o'erioyed. Such, in a line, may
be said of the thousands of people who
visited Third street last evening. Once
more, and for the last time, the iIlumi-
nations were in full glow. From an
early hour in the evening people, young
and old, flOcked into the street. which
they promenaded for nearly three hours
up and down. taking in the gorgeous
scene and enjoying the music of the
bands.
Looking down Third street a sight
was untolded which could not fail to
attract and interest. The panoramic
stretch of parti-cOlored lights was Su-
perb, and hearty acclamatiOnS of de-
light were heard on every side. People
gaZed and were entTanced. Ranged on
either side of the street ran the varied
culOred lamps, with ever and anon fam
tastic displays across the thOrOuglfare,
lending added beauty and grace to an
otherwise charming picture. Like all
such displays, the last was recognized
the best, and the people thrOnged the
street and admired its picturesque
beauty as if they never could tire of
this glimpse of fairy land.
PedeStrianism was slow and difficult.
And around each of the three bands,
stationed along the street, huge crowds
cOngregated. listening with rapturOuS
delight to their melody. 1t was a charm
ing scene and a pleasant evening. inter
SperSed with the choicest of music, and
at a late hour the immense throngS
went their way, well repaid for their
evenings walk.

1t is not within the scope of this
article to give the readers of the GLOBE
more than very brief synopsis of a
few of the points in which this ,institu-
ton excels all others. On the merits OF
their goods alone they have built up a
trade that reaches from the Pacific coast
on the west far beyond a point on the
east side of st. Paul where st. Paul
business usually extends, to say moth
ing of the South and Southwest. Mr..
G. E. Marvin, who is at the head of this
institution, is now. and has been for
years, so closely identified with the
dairy interest of Minnesota that one
can hardly think of it without asSOciat-
ing it with him. He is ably seconded in
all his enterprises by his associate in
business, Mr.. E. A. Commack, and
1t is the indefatigable efforts
of these two gentlemen, more.
than any other one agency, that has put.
the front rank. 1t is less than three
years ago that Messrs. Marvin & CAM
mack came to st. Paul from Rochester,,
Minn.. to establish a branch house
through which the Northwest trade
could be supplied. In that brief period
the business of the st. Paul house has
grown to such all extent that it will
reach not less than Sl.500,000 during
1883. Their facilities for gathering
cream from the dairy sections through
out the state and shipping it to st. Paul
In special cream ana refrigerator cars
are unsurpassed, while the machinery
for the manufacturing of dairy prod
ucts is the latest and best known to the
business.

covering his reserve. The steady vol
ley firing of the battery and regulars
checked the advance of Gen. MarshalFs
forces, and the ground was stubbornly
contested by both armies. Gradually
the firing ceased and the troops of both
armies mingled in friendly intercourse.
All the movements of this engage
ment were executed with great life and
precision, giving a very realistic feature
of what an actual battlefield must be.
The troops from Fort Smelling COM
prised 242 men, including the light bat
terry, which had fifty-two men on the
field.
1t is to be sincerely regretted that
serious accident should mar the fes-
tivities of the day, and the closing hour
of the fair. During the engagement,
soldier of the light battery suffered the
loss of his right hand and forearm by
the premature discharge of the piece he
was serving. The accident was due to
careleSSneSS in failing to properly
sponge out the gun-its retention of fire
causing the new cartridge to explode.
The man was lifted off his feet and
thrown violently to the ground by the
discharge, and the sponge staff,
which he was about to use was
hurled too far away to justify
looking for 1.-THE great wonder
is that the staff in its flight did not
cause a series of accidents among the
troops. The injured mans name was
Paul Netsch. He enlisted at Fort
Smelling, Nov. 20, 1856 His home is in
this city, where his parents now reside,
and where he formerly worked with his
father, who is carpenterin the employ
of Messrs. Wilke IL Roemer. The
private who served the vent of the
piece which caused the accident. had
his thumb broken by the blast through
the vent. Both men were promptly
cared for by DR.. Murphy, who sent
them to st. JOSeph'S hospital.

SOARING SKYWARD.

At the conclusion of the industrial
parade, King Burke once more stepped
into his aerial car: gave the word to
loose the ropes. and for the second time
during the current week started upon
his hOmeward voyage. The wind
carried his car in south
easterly direction past the G. A R.
encampment and with inconceivable
rapidity towards Hamline, each second
carrying the daring aerOnaut higher
and higher. Just north of HAM
line, he dropped his parachute; but as
it caught in the ropes he was unable to
release himself, until he had accOmp-
lshed almost half of the descent. In a
few seconds, however, he was olsen
tangled, and a short while after start
ing, once more stood upon dry ground.
