production of the light harness horse.
The example set by these gentlemen
has been followed by many others, until
now there are scattered throughout the
state a great many breeding farms.
Most of the older and more thickly set
tied counties of the state have one or
more of these farms, where the Amer
lean roadster IS bred to perfection,
and each day the stock is being i'm
proved by fresh importations and new
crosses, SO that now Minnesota can
boast of a great deal of stock that equals
in quality that of Kentucky, New York
or California. 1t would be impossible
to find in either of the states named
any Wilkes stock that is superior to
that owned by George W. Sherwood, c.
A. DeGraff's estate, DIR. Evans, of Min
neapOliS, and the estate of Commodore
kittson. There is none better in the
world. The produce of this stock is be-
ing distributed gradually to all parts of
Minnesota. During the coming years the
taxable personal property of the state
will be largely increased through this
taste for stock raising. Another result
of this has been to cultivate a taste
among the people, and especially among
those in large cities, for driving better
class of horses on the road. There is a
peculiar satisfaction in sitting behind
well-bred, well-broken, even-galted
roadster. In the larger American cities
this kind of enjoyment is being in
dulged in to greater or less degree,
and this depends mostly upon the Ques-
ton of expense. St. Paul is a
city where many large fortunes
have been made, and it is here
that large numbers of these well-Dred
roadsters can be seen daily. This taste
for what is now known as the American

Beauty may assist woman to obtain

about a hat, the clerk, who can display

often accomplishes sale tnat another
would not. Generally speaking, how
ever, there is nothing counts in a

like experience. None without it are
taken into the employ of the Mann
heimer Brothers. Special ability lies
chiefly in an intuitive perception OF a
customers wishes and in a cheerful,
pleasant way of supplying them. a
clerk is frequently called upon to teach
customer his own mind, an operation
that is. dangerous and requires as GER
tain Skill as the manufacture of bombs.

The great difference between tweedle-
dee and tweedledum is carefully
marked among women clerks. Those
who receive S. per week and below are
cast as ''shop girls" while those whose
pay ranges above this are distinguished
as ''Salesladies."
The largest salary received by women
who clerk in st. Paul is paid by Mann
heimer Bros. In addition to fifty girls
in the dressmaking department, this
firm employs twenty in the store, whose
wages vary from ST to S25 per week.
Schultz, the milliner, besides ten
trimmerS. has five SalesladieS who re-
ceive from IS to SIS per week.
Lyons employs eleven salesladies.
and pays them from So to S12 per week.
Field d Mailer hire eighteen women,

st. Paul is bit deficient in facilities
for the muscular development of
women. There is no gymnasium for
women, and no school where they may
be taught the art of riding properly
Those who have attained this accom-
pliShment have their iron pluck and
natural aptitude, and the. uncertain
services of their friends to thank for it.
Almost every fine day riding parties
are to be seen making their
way out of town to some con-
yenient resort. The Town and Country
club is the favorite with many. A gal
lop to Como in the morning and a jolly
breakfast at the club, or ride out late
in the afternoon, followed by dinner
and return by moonlight, has become
one of the most popular features of
social life. These outings are generally
enlivened by Mrs. Selmes.

Fechter's Sons Death.

Paul Fechter, son of the well-known
actor who was once lessee of the
Lyceum theater in London, has just
met with his death under exceptionally
lamentable circumstances. He was
fencing with his brother-in-law, when
the latter, by an awkward movement,
touched the eye of M. Fechter, and the
foil, although there was button on its
point, penetrated to the brain. The ILL
fated young fellow fell to the ground,
bleeding profusely, and he never recov-

law has been in state of such anguish
since the tragic accident that he can
hardly give coherent account of the
affair. The deceased died much regret
ted by all who knew him, for he was q

The Conscience Fund.

Washington Letter.
Chief Clerk Youmans was speaking
this morning on the fidelity and honesty
of the employees of the government. He
alluded to the facts that the large sums
of money that passed through their
hands. and the opportunities afforded
them of doing wrong acts were very
great temptations. He was much elated
over the trifling figures that were
lost in times past when COM
pared with the large sums that might
have been taken." THE consciences of
men," said he, ''make them do their
duty" Excuse me, gentlemen, for in
terrupting you,' said clerk. "What is
it?'' asked the chief clerk. "Here is a
letter containing $1,000 sent by some one
in Washington. The envelope bears
the Washington postmark. He states in
his letter that he owes this amount, and
he wants it to be placed in the con-
science fund" "What is the amount of
the conscience fund now, as near as you
can judge?" asked the newsman of the
clerk. '.It is now between 100000 and
S4OO, ,OOO."

A Dirty Wretch.
st. Louis Republican.

St LOulS hepuuAiSoI'
The obscene wretch who concocted
the filthy pamphlet about the occupants
of the White house, copies of which
were distributed here at the time of the
convention, seems to have been traced
out. The New York Times of Friday
says, editorially: "The person who
wrote the pamphlet, and who is now in
st. Louis distributing it, is William j.
Berry, reporter Of the New York Tri-
bune. The conductors of that journal
have known of the dirty business in
which Berry is engaged for some time
past, and one of the heads of its count
fng-room, just before he went to st.
Louis, gave him money for his expenses
on the trip" 1t seems incredible that a
journal of the repute and standing of
the Tribune should be guilty of such in
famous conduct, but the charge is spe-
cific, and both Mr.. Berry and the Tri-
bunc should be heard from with great
promptness and emphasis.

William Lindeke, of st. Paul, is prob
ably about as hard-working a man as
there is in the city. He is at his buSi-
ness establishment early and late, and
never leaves it for the day until every
thing about it is attended to. Several
years ago he felt the need of some kind
of recreation that would afford him
relaxation from the hard, exacting de-
mandS of business, and he very
wisely concluded that the most satisfac-
tory and healthy recreation and relief
could be found in horses. He accord
ing secured eight Or ten head of the pro-
duce of the horse owned by the late
Mr.. Barden, and known as "Western
Chief.' This animal was large, bright
bay, by a son of HambletOnian, and
produced large colts. For years Mr..
Lindeke has been seen riding i'll the
evening behind these splendid animals.
He has made ten times the value of the
horses in increased health and enjoy
ment.
Mr.. Bruno Beaupre is another of st.
PauFS merchant princes who finds relief
from the cares of large business in a
pair of good roadsters. His two PAGERS,
Little Fred and frankie b, almost
every pleasant evening are to be seen
on our streets with Mr.. Beaupre sitting
behind them. They are very fast and
have pole record of 2:20.
w. r. Merriam is the owner of several
good ones and is frequently to be seen
driving behind them.
George B. Clason directs his attention
mostly to the saddle horse, as he finds
more pleasure on horseback than in a
buggy, and also much more exercise.

HOW TO MAKE A TENT.

Some Information for Boys Who
Are Going to Camp Out This
Summer.
Chicago Tribune.
Boys always begin to- think about
camping-out equipments as soon as
spring fairly sets in. The most i'm
portant thing to provide for such an eX-
pedition is tent, and as it costs good
deal of money to have one made to
order, perhaps the boys who intend to
spend few days in the woods this
summer would like to know how to
make one themselves and at a trifing
cost.
Buy nine yards of good stout yard
wide cotton cloth and cut into three
strips of three yards each. Sew these
strips together securely by overlapping,
and you will then have a piece three
yards square. Make a solution of twelve
ounces of lime and FIVE ounces of alum
in three gallons of water and soak the
cotton in it for day. Rinse it in warm
rainwater and stretch in the sun
Having reached your campingOut
place, cut two poles eight feet long.
each with fork at one end. Sink the
other ends in the ground about foot
and beat the earth we'll to keep them
firmly in place. These poles should be
about eight feet apart. Now cut an
other pole about nine feet long and put
it on top of the other two, resting in the
forks. Cut two more poles ten feet long
for the sides of your frame, resting one
end of each pole on the cross pole and
the other end on the ground. Stretch
the canvas over the frame and tack it to
the poles. You can make the sides of
your tent weather-prOOf with bOughS of
cedar and other trees.
This is the simplest and least expen-
sive tent you can have and will answer
your purpose fully. The interior of the
tent, however, would be little more
rOomy and comfortable if you would put
up second frame in the rear similar to
that in front, say two feet high, and
stretch the canvas over that and thence
to the ground.
Select sleeping ground to put your tent
ON, so that if it rains the water will
readily run off; and also dig little ditch
around the tent with an outlet leading
down the incline.As the front of the tent
will be Open-unless you choose to pro-
vide enough canvas to cover it-yOu had
better place it with the front toward
the north or northwest, for storms, if
you have any, will probably come from
the south or southwest.
The rude hut described-fOr it is
little elSe-will no doubt seem a flimSy
shelter to those who have never occu-
pied one, but for perfect rest and the
SoundeSt of sound sleeping you will
find it superior to the best room in your
city house.

A Lincoln man who has just returned
from an extended tour in the country
recently struck small town in Mis-
souri, where the shantieS composing the
metropolis were surrounded by numer-
Gus acres of land Staked off into lots.
Before one of the magnificent trade
empOriumS sat an old man smoking a
corn-cob pipe and apparently plunged
in meditation. The Lincoln man as
sumed an air of profound innocence
and accosted him, when this dialogue
ensued:
''What are these stakes here for?"
''TOwn lots, stranger. This hyar town
is just er goin' to have a boom. An
Opery house will be built thar eff nothin'
happens"
''Who owns this prOperty?"
ga syndicut. Ye won't see any flies
OH this town."
"What is syndicate?"
''Why, ye see. syndicate is er lot of
fellers in ther city what has money. and
they sorter get together and buy up
farm, and they stake it off, We see, an
start boom. That thar land was ther
Widder Mcguire farm, but ther syndicut
bought it and staked it off,"
''And how does the syndicate do its
booming?"
oval, one feller in ther syndicut gets
control of it all, We see, and he sells a
lot to another feller. an it goes round
an round, an every time it goes round
the price is riz."
But then it would never be sold out
of that body"
''It wouldn't eh? Stranger, yer wrong.
Finally, er lot is sold to some outside
feller, and then it's deddycated, ye see,
an don't go round no more"
Thanks; now l know all about it,"

We have too many churches In the land,
And not enough religion. Too much cant
About repentance and redeeming Grace,
And not enough self-conquest and Resolve
Men need more knowledge Of hygienic laws,
More nutriment for body and for brain,
More understanding Of each others lives
And fewer creeds. No hungering soul can
thrive
On altar clothes and freseoes. I'VE should

For wisdom, not repentance; growth, not
peace"
