teen cents is the charge for using these
wires, and the amount is added in the
telephone bill sent to the subscriber at
the end of each month. The long-dis-
lance wire brings up in separate room,
where Miss Ursa O'Connell presides
over the telephone. She can secure
connection with Winona, Faribault,
Anoka and many other points. This is
toll line, and each person talking over
the wire is charged 25 cents, which is
collected the same as when the line to
st. Paul or Fort Smelling is used.
The batteries which furnish the cleo
tricity for the wires are stored in a
small room just off the main room. The
exchange now has 1,5O0 lines, and some
$500 subscribers. There are in all
about 900 special wires, that is, wires on
which there is only one telephone. The
average number of calls answered dur
ing the day is II, 409. The busiest hour
during the whole day is between and
4 o'clock in the afternoon, when each
girl has all that she can possibly do.
There are some forty-five persons en-
plOyed by the company, of which 81 are
regular operators, 2 chief operators, 4
trouble men, line men and foreman,
besides the officers. G.. P. Wayman is
the general superintendent; W. B..

statuettes are here, and books peep out
i'll unexpected places, and rare bits OF
paintings brought from travels in
foreign lands, touch you with the tender
grace that is the outcome of
refinement and culture and you
seem to like this atmosphere you
breathe. 1t was not always thus, how
ever, with I. Il. Walker; he, too, can
look back to the day when he was poor,
but coming here when opportunity was
open-handed to the far-seeing and
shrewd, he let his trade of shoemaking
rest, and embarked in the more lucra-
tive, if risky business, of dealing in
land, especially where pine lands
were involved. Interesting others
with capital in his various schemes,
his capacity for business and
speculation guided him safely through
the shoals that surrounded such bust
ness, and ere long, and to his own sur
prise as much as anybody else's, he soon
became reputed as man of wealth.
Then this house was erected, and since
that time ii has served him as his head
quarters-here is his office, here is his
hOSpltable table, here is he surrounded
by his happy and growing family, and
what more need he want? 1t has been
rumored that this old residence, with
the pleasant memories lingering round
it, might be torn down, but this is not
to be for the very fact that he has
erected his new grand gallery, an addi-
ton to the present building, diSprOveS
any such statements.
Wealth has brought many things to
L. b. Walker, but one gift he has land al
ways haD is a richer one and better
one than ever any money could pur-
chase, and it is 1.-The something that
will attract all men to him that go his
way. That gift is his simple kindly
manner which he extends to all men,
rich or poor. An unostentatious spirit
which sets all people at ease with him,
and the possession of that delicate tact
which seems to be given to only great
Americans of comprehending and con-
veying to other people the gracious sem
timent that all men are equal"

in the house. Many of the best pic
lures are yet unpacked. Some of them
are here and others scattered through
the mansion, but some future day, when
the gallery is completed and the whole
galaxy gathered together under one
roof, or, rather, under one light, a
heightened description will be given of
the many valuable gems contained
therein. Meanwhile, two pictures.
striking looking and classical, are sure
to engage the attention of any
one in this picture chamber.
They are both classical paintings
French modern painter. The subjects
chosen depict life in Rome. In the one
canvas Lucullus, the conqueror of NTH
ridates, is giving one of the banquets
for which he was famous; his guests
are seen in the recumbent poStures of
that day. The dancing girls are in the
foreground. and the servitors can be
seen entering with the eatables. 1t is a
striking picture, but not more so
than the one directly across the
room, where a barber shop can
be seen in the imperial city where it
was in all its glory. Examples are scat
tered on these walls from such masters
as De Haas. Meyer Won Bremen, Jos.
Coomaus, Leo Hermann and LIE Comte
du Nouy, in which they have touched
of domestic life, of sheep watching, of
marine subjects, and an infinitude of
other things i'll earth and sea and sky.
This is an interesting house anyway.
This house is a splendid type of the
Minneapolis home. 1t is diamond in
the rough. You come to it expecting to
find little, and 10, you walk amid the

guarded by those in question.
Fancy it, reader. and think of the enor-
