our LATEST ACQUISITION.


MACARTHUR BROS, the best
known and largest contract
ors Of the Northwest, are
now actively engaged build
ing their stopehouses and re-
pair shops at ST. PAUL PARK.

factories in actual operation:

Our suburban place, or rather city,
which has sprung into existence within
one years time, is conceded by all to be
the finest, and has the best advantages
around the city of st. Paul. The Bur
lington Railroad is running hourly mo-
tor trains and the fare is only six cents
per ride. There are now about 2e0
houses erected, and the population is
about 1900. Our streets are not less
than so feet wide, and there are miles OF
streets graded, sidewalks laid, and trees
planted.
ST. PAUL PARK will no doubt be
the largest suburb to the city.
Our prices for lots are still the lowest;
come at once and secure the choicest for
$3.50 to $500.

Educational Rules.

Prevent a quarrel with your child
by turning his attention to something
different. Especially is this efiicacious
if the object is moving and pretty.
Hang attractive pictures in the nur-
sery, and change them after a while
for others.
1t is foolish practice for parents
or servants to allow children to beat
the table or chair against which the
child fell or hurt itself, as it develops
revengefulness.
If child is disposed to be greedy
at his meals, turn his attention to the
sources from whence his food came,
or let him give some of his food to
the cat Or dog, Quite the contrary
course must be pursued if the child
is excitable and easily diverted.
= Mrs. Louis Pollock.

Woman'S Work for Women.

Following is by Marion A. Nc
Bride in Woman's Journal, Boston,
of July 3rd:
Women arrested, who pass through
the municipal court rooms, might be
taken in large numbers to reforma-
tory institutions if q woman of kindly
sympathy and practical common
sens could be stationed at the court
every day to follow the cases of wo-
men. Whenever an expression of
sorrow for the sin and a desire to re-
form is made, the case should be
looked up, and such women be placed
in care of matrons of various institu-
tons, where cases should have the
particular care demanded by its con-
ditions.
The women placed in the court
room, if Interested, will find that
judges and court officers are kindly
disposed toward the offenders, and in
the treatment of first offences, par
ticularly among young women, a
great burden would be taken from
society if these women could be so
treated that they would not become
old offenders. In no way can refor-
nation be effected so quickly and
permanently as by placing these
stranded lives within a home atmos-
phere. One woman in the court
room, with permission from the
judge, and with acquaintance with
the various institutions of a city,
could do wonderful work in turning
the tide of life, which, without guild
ance, generally has drifted into pit
falls. The women's organizations of
city could, by combining, do this
work very Thoroughly. The wo-
man placed at the court should be
paid and sustained by the officers of
associations engaged in this line of
work.
Such plan is practical, and would
supplement, in very thorough man
ner, the police matron work which is
being done in so many states.

An Easy Way to Oh
tain a Watch !!

There is no excuse for any person in Arkan-
sas to be without a watch. Mr.. Louis G. Ber-
nays, manufacturing jeweler, l16 Main street,
Little Rock, Ark, has devised plan by which
the best time pieces now in the market can be
secured on terms that prohibits the purchaser
missing the money he expends for one of
them.
The plan is simple and will meet with the
endorsement of all who really desire watch.
The watches Mr. Bernays proposes to sell
can be selected from his stock, which is com
pletc in every respect. He has just received
large assortment of amt -magnetic, 14-kt
gold filled cases, for open face and hunting
case movements, warranted for twenty years.
They are especially adapted for railroad PEG.
pie and parties working around dynamos and
other electric appliances. The purchaser Is
only required to pay two dollars down as the
purchase money for one of the Watches Civ
ing every week thereafter one dollar, until the
watch is paid for. No interest is charged, and
the same charge Is made for the watch as
would be required to purchase one at other
establishments for cash. 1t is the simplest
and easiest plan ever suggested to enable a
man or woman to own an excellent gold watch
without missing the money required to pur.
chase one.
For further particulars call or write.

If one can manage to look through
this eye, he will find that it diminishes
objects in size, while it multiplies
their number, man appearing like
an army of fairies, while candle be-
comes a thousand tiny stares.
The legs of a flea are wonderfully
strong and elastic, and are joined to
the body by tendons which act like
wire springs. The Swiss Cross, from
which this description is taken, says
that the flea, in making it's leap, can
cover two hundred times its own
length in accomplishing the act, the
little creature draws its leg close to
the body, and then throwsit out with
great force.
Fleas are very quarrelsome, and
fight until there is as little left of
them as of the famous Kilkenny cats.
There is a record of a flea's living ten
days after mortal combat, having
no antenna, with three plates of his
side broken in, one eye gone, and
but four legs, each of which was cut
off at the first joint.
Fleas are possessed of great
strength. One has been known to
drag after him gold chain as long as
a mans finger; another was accus-
toned to draw golden chariot, made
to exhibit his strength.
A certain English matchmaker
once had an ivory four-wheeled
chaise, with a coachman on the box,
which was small enough to be drawn
by stout flea. He afterwards made
a chariot with six horses, a coach
man, four persons inside, two foot
men behind, and position on one

about by flea.
Another flea is mentioned which
dragged silver cannon, mounted on
wheels, the whole being twenty-four
times its own weight. The little
creature showed no fear when the
cannon was charged with gunpowder
and fired.

small, having a single eye on each
side,
