SKETCHEO FROM LIFE.
Some of the Every Day Incidents Of a
Great City.
TRAYLOR BACK FROM EUROPE
Whisky at the Bottom of Most Crimes
"A Bon Vivant Came to
Grief.

Col. w. W. Traylor, the gifted word
Juggler, who is supposed to live by in
ducing people to invest in trusts. of
which he is the trustee, is back from
Europe. He is somewhat heavier, but
his eye is as bright as ever and his ami
nation is as breezy as of yore. The
colonel wears a very small English hat
that looks like fried egg and is attired
in a suit that slightly resembles cross
between checker board and barbed
wire fence in its pattern. The colonel'S
sojourn at Paris might be described as
one continual round," and it is ques-
tiOn as to whether he or Gen. BOulanger
attracted the most attention. A story
has leaked out concerning him that is
decidedly characteristic of the man and
his methods. A Minneapolis family
that is privileged to move in the circles
of upper-tendum had been leisurely
making continental tour, and in the
course of time came to Paris. After
awhile it was decided that trip down
the Nile should be taken. One of the
daughters was unwell, and physician
declared it would be unwise for her to
friends. During the absence of the
family daShing stranger called. He
had just learned that her brother was in
the city. Gone over to Africa, had
he? Well, that was unfortu-
nate. Frank and he had been
chums at Minneapolis. They had
became interested in a business deal
which brought them together, and had
become warm friends. Anything that
he could do to amuse Franks sister
during his absence would be considered
a great pleasure. Would she like to go
riding? Perhaps the air and change of
scene would do her good? The young
lady was slightly in quandry. 1t was

Interesting and good-looking. There
was something in his bold black eyes,
however, that rather alarmed her. Be
sides, she had no chaperOne, and it
might not be prudent for her to go out
in public with man of whom she knew
nothing. So she finally declined his
kind invitation in spite of his persist

When the family returned she could
not refrain from telling her brother of
the delightful surprise she had in store
for him. An old friend of his, Mime

called on her. HE seemed to think so

wanted to take me out riding, but

A Strange Case.

New York World
Among the inmates of the home for
feeble-minded children in South Bos-
ton, there is little ten-year-old girl
whose case has thus far baff1ed the best
authorities ON mental diseases. Her
peculiar trait is her inOrdinate desire to
climb to the top perch on any object, be
1t ever so high, to mount and balance
herself on seemingly inaccessible
ledges, and there rest content. On
entering room, and knowing she is
unobserved, she will fling open a door
and, catching hold of the ledge with her
hands, and pressing her knees tightly
together climb to the top and seat her
self, wholly unconcerned and apparently
perfectly happy. She will swing back
and forth with no fear of danger; in
deed. she has never been known to lose
her balance.
Her most troublesome trait is her
strong aversion to wearing any cloth
ing. She discards her shoes and stock
ings whenever possible, tears off her
garments and causes no end of care to
the patient attendants. who find her
from time to time almost devoid of COW
ering. She frequently climbs with
wonderful agility upon a wardrobe,
tweve feet high. or again will mount to
the top shelf and there coil herself up
like a cat. She has been known to as
cend an eighteen-foot pillar supporting
the ceiling and rOost upon its ledge.
One night she left her bed and deliber-
ately climbed down the spouting from
the fourth story to the street.

SHOOTING THE FALLS.
Tumbling Logs Over St. Anthony
for Better Prices Below.


For some days past persons crossing
the suspension or the new steel arch
bridge have seen large numbers of logs
floating down the river, close to the west
side bank, and then disappear over the
falls. At first it was thought that some
boom up the river had given way and
that these logs were runawayS. Such
a state of affairs did exist during the
high water in the early spring, but all
the logsn were captured again and
sold at points down the river at fairly
good prices. This rather staggered
some of the lumbermen. who seemed to
think that it was only in Minneapolis
that good prices could be obtained for
the product of the big pine woods north
of here. During the present summer
prices have been rather low here, and
some of the lumbermen felt some
what blue. At last the members
of the st. Anthony Lumber COM
pany came to the conclusion that
Minneapolis, and so determined to send
them down the river, as an experiment,
and run the chances of getting a fair
price for them. This plan assumed
definite shape some days ago, when men
were placed at the upper gap with in
structions to send the logs bearing the
company's mark down the river. Ever
since the logs have been coming down
freely, and at times the company's
chute. on the west side of the river, has
been nearly blocked. 1t is grand sight
to see the ponderous logs go laundering
over the falls. now standing on end and
then disappearing from view with
splash which sends the water flying in
all directions. AT present the logs which
are sent down are doomed at st. Paul,
where they will be held for some time time
however, that the larger part of them
will go oD, sooner or later, down the
river to points where there are numer-
GUS saw mills, but few logs. Up to date
about 100000 feet have gone down the
river. The officers of the company state
that the scheme is only an experiment,
and in case it is successful they will
continue sending their logs down.
There is no money in selling their logs
here, they say.

WHISKY AT THE BOTTOM.
A Mans Fall, just One Day From
the Penitentiary.


He was accompanied by large-sized
jag, or, in other words, was pretty
drunk. Detective Howard laid his
hand on his shoulder and casually re-
marked: "When did you get out?''

'.Are you going to keep straight?"
"YeS,'
"Come to headquarters and We'll see
what you have got on you.".
The man had just been released from
the penitentiary at Saltwater after a
years confinement for larceny, and the
effects of prison life were plainly yisi-
BILE in his thin, hardened face. His
pockets were searched, and number
of his letters were read. There was
nothing to indicate that he contem.
plated any crooked work. No money
was found on him.

WINE BY THE QUART.
A BibuIous Crosus Who Came to
Grief.


"GoI any wine on 1ce?" he asked.
''Lots of it," said the bartender.
'Put it out here on the bar" The
dispenser of liquid refreshments
glanced up at his customer. He looked
like gentleman, was well dressed but
very drunk. The man back of the bar
again looked at the man in front of the
bar for a moment. Evidently the in
spection resulted in the impression
that the assets would equal the liabili-
ties, for the bartender asked, "Quarts
or pints?'
"Quarts."
"It's going to cost you little some
thing.''
"How much bottle?"
''Three-fifty."
"Well, go and get every man in the
house and give 'em each a quart bottle
of wine.''
The bartender did as he was told,
and in five minutes about twenty as
toniShed men were ranged along the
bar. The bottles were brought out, the
corks pulled. and the glasses filled.

floor, his face covered with blood. and
his head in spittoon, while five or six
men were trying to keep the thick-set
man from kicking his head off. "Cail

tender to the porter. In about two
minutes the sound of the gong was
heard. The wagon was at the door,

INSURANCE AND INTEREST.

A decision was filed yesterday in
favor of the plaintiffs in the case of

Insurance company of Des Moines, To-,
to recover $4,000 insurance on 1895
bushels OF wheat, which was stored
in the st. Anthony elevator, and
destroyed by fire on the 10th of
July, 1887. The judgment rendered the
plaintiffs was for 81 1000, the amount of
the insurance with interest, making the
total amount of the Judgment 81, ,25O. The
defense was that the wheat was stored
IN an annex instead of the main ele-
