That those who dance must pay the
piper was strikingly illustrated Satur-
day evening in the adventures of a
party of Twin City society people who
went out to the Hotel st. Louis to at
tend full dress hop. After the festiv-
tiles concluded many of the dancers
took the train that was to convey them
homewards, and then their troubles be-
gan.
Shortly after leaving the station the
piston rod of the engine broke, and a
halt was necessary, Minneapolis being
drafted upon for new engine. The re-
lief engine had proceeded but mile or
so beyond the limits of the Mill City
when the engineer discovered broken
and misplaced rail, and he hurried back
for a force of laboreTS to repair dam
ages. Meanwhile an eXpectant host
seated in the cars at the ST. Louis heard
of this new disaster through the tele-
graph operator and resigned themselves
to the inevitable delay. After their
souls had been tried for upwards of two
hours the welcome whistle of the APP
preaching engine showed that the sim
gle track was again ready for business.
1t was between 2 and o'clock yester-
day morning when the last of the
coaches pulled into the union depot and
the pleaSure-SeekerS departed for their
homes.
But the long wait had thoroughly
rested after the fatigues incident to a
dancing party, which all voted one of
the most enjoyable events that they had
ever participated in. Everybody was
made to feel at home by Manager
Miller, of the st. Louis, who proved
himself not only a generous host, but a
capable entertainer, and last Saturday
night at his hotel will ever form a
pleasant link in the memories of those
who attended the hop.
