Speaking Of pictures, a friend of ours
took her four year old girl to q pho
tographer. The child could not be
made to sit still. He of the camera
was as suave as could be, and worked
every device of gentle persuasion to
make the little wigglor sit still. FL
nally he said to the despairing mother;
''Madam, if you will leave the little
dear alone with me a few minutes l
think l can succeed" .4..5.z-.Ig,
The mother had scarcely withdrawn
when she was summoned back by the
triumphant photographer, who exhibi-

one.Tenth Of . Dime.

1t is almost impossible to attach any
to one cent, but at tho
same time it is very important coin
at times. +4A
1t will take circular to California,
and it will make you madder than .
halter and March hare combined
when you go to pay your fare on q
horse car when you find that you have
hut four cents and a ten dollar bill. ~
One cent is very small, but when it
is added to the rate Of interest you re-
eeive on stock, it possesses a stern
magnificent grandeur that carries you
away like strain of music. 'i -.-'
The penny, it seems, was made to
put on church plates, and although .
man may say that it amounts to moth
ing, he will strike matches and lift
mats and crawl in the straw on horse
car to find the one he drops It is 20
small coin that you have to take of
your gloves to take hold of it in your
pocket, snd yet it is 70 large whom the
baby swallowed it, tho chances of the
baby's living are not worth . cent. 49,
Although one cent is less than ten
cents, yet one cent is a great deal lar
ger than a dime. Many man has
gone thirsty all day with four cents in
his pocket. For the want of that one
cent the four were as uesless as the
eleven men on jury who are held ont
against by one. ..-' 'i@i

St. Paul daily globe., 1888-05-11

The Empire state was her birthplace,
in the year 1900, Oct 25. At the age of
thirty-two, having married Ethan Allen,
she came West, settling at Dubuque.
Here she erected the first house where
now we find one of the most prosperous
icties in Iowa, and for nineteen years
she continued to live in it, a rude board
shanty. In the meantime her husband
died. and she came to st. Paul in 1851.
Here she remained three years, when she
came to this city and settled, and she
has since made her home here. On her
first arrival here Rel Wing was scarcely
anything but an Indian village, and
where the business portion of the city
now stands there was little but the rude
tepees of the red men. Some time after
her arrival here she married Mr. Free
born, who died in 1865. She built the
first boarding house in the city, and the
expenses of this work was no small
item. The plastering alone cost $500.
She was for many years landlady of the
American house, in which she had nine
teen sleeping rooms. This property
she subsequently sold to the university
for $4,000, of which she never got cent.
She is the oldest resident in the city,
and the Oldest person. and in the house
on Fourth street, in which she now re
sides, she has lived thirty-six years.
Mrs. Freeborn has had many and varied
experiences in the early days so trying
to the pioneers, record of which alone
would fill a book with naught but inter-
eSting reading,
