plot Which Fortunately Ended
Happily.
London Times.
When Pezon, the lion tanner, was at
Moscow with his menagerie he had oc-
casion to employ moujik, fine speei-
men of Cossack, to clean out the cages
of the wild beasts. The Cossack did
not understand word of French, and
the terms of the contract were settled
in dumb show. By way of instructlng
him in his new duties. Pezon went
with the broom, sponge and water
bucket. The moujick watched him
closely, and appeared to fully under
stand the details of the lesson given.
Next morning, armed with broom, a
bucket and sponge, he opened the
first cage he came to and quietly slipped
in, as he had seen his master step ON
the previous day into two cages of
harmless brutes; but this one happened
to be tenanted by splendid but un-
tanned tiger, that lay on the floor fast
asleep. At the noise made by the open
ing and closing of the door, the crea-
ture raised his head and turned its
green eyes full on the man, who, all
unconscious of his danger, stood in the
corner dipping his big sponge into the
bucket.
At that moment Pezon came out of his
caravan and was struck dumb by the
terrible sight that met his gaze. What
could he do to warn the man of his
danger? A sound, movement On his
part might enrage the great beast and
hasten its attack on the defenseless
Cossack. So Pezon stood awaiting de-
velopments, ready to rush to the scene
when the crisis came. The moujik,
sponge in hand, cody approached the
tiger and made ready to rub him down
with stolidity of military boot
black polishing his captains boots.
The sudden application of cold
water to its hide evidently pro-
duced a very agreeable effect on the
tiger, for it began to purr, stretched out
its paws, rolled over on its back, and
complacently offered every part of its
body to the vigorous treatment of the
moujik, who went on scrubbing with
might and main. All the while Pezon
stood there with his eyes wide open. as
If nailed to the spot. When he had fin
ished his job the Cossack left the cage
as quietly as he had entered it, and it
required the most energetic and express
sive gestures on the part of the lion
tanner to prevent his repeating the ex-
pertinent on the second wild beast.

THE PETROLE FUEL.
The Company Contracts for Ma
chinery and Buildings,

The first meeting of the directors of
the Petrole Fuel company was held at
the company's Office. 400 Lumber Ex-
change, Saturday, at which the follow
ing officers were elected. Walter j.
Ballard, president; M. Nirdlinger, vice
president: A. Bostwick, treasurer; A.
c. Bausman, secretary; Henry F. Leo
pold, manager; S. Wallace, auditor;
and J. B. Macarthur, attorney and
counsel. The board examined numer-
Gus bids for machinery, and accepted
those of Moorhead, Rowen & Co. and
ID. w. Gemlot Il Son. A contract was
made with Robinson & Meade for the
erection of the works on their grounds,
and the manufacturing of the fuel will
commence in a few days. The Flour
City National bank was chosen as the
bankers of the company. This fuel
will be delivered as wanted on all-the-
year-round prices, thus avoiding to con-
sumers the necessity of laying in large
stocks to avoid higher prices during the
cold weather.

ALL SORTS.

The kind of man who is popular now
The chap who is in highest feather
Is he who avoids in talk with friend
That warmed-over topic, the weather.
At parties and hops be always looks cool,
And talks talks of Beethoven or List;
After church or at tea a welcome guest he,
While the weather tiend never is missed.
He with rare comprehension assumes, and
He's right i'll this cOmmon-sense view,
That weather which poils him and bakes him
to death
Is sufficiently heated for you.
The secretary of the Chrysanthemum
club has received telegram from Col.
w. W. W. Wetteson announcing the

pie at Fargo.
Deputy Postmaster Hughes is writing
biographies of all the Minneapolis post
masters. and doubtless he would like to
put Twiford E. Hughes down for a
place. Perhaps he may.
Charles E. Carpenter was in guam
day last week. He did not know
whether to smile most broadly over his
triumph over the Brush company, or
over the success of the Cornell crew in
the race with Columbia. He finally

The controversy between the recently

he propose to write a biography, or to
create a fictitious character? Surely,
in either case it is remarkable thing
that he proposes to do. He who has
set himself to tell the world what the
Son of God is or should be has work
before him from which Shakespeare
might shrink, and surely task that
Shakespeare never attempted. How
has this unpretentious writer sue
ceeded in his heroic undertake
ing? Whether fiction. or fact, the
world pronounces Christ its greatest
character. "Christ is man at his eli
max" says one. "CiviliZation can
never go beyond the standard OF moral
ity that burns in the pages of the New
Testament" says Goethe. Christ is
unique figure, not more unlike all his
precursors than all his followers, even
those who had the benefit of his per-
sonal teaching and example," said j. s:
Mil. There did appear in Galllee and
Judea perfect man, or if not, there
was created in those countries perfect
ideal. The sinlessneSS, the perfection
of that character makes 1T more than
human, and if Mark created it he is
himself miracle. Matthew and Luke.
and John, and Paul are likewise mira
Giles if Christ be fiction, for
for they all hit upon this
same chaiacter at the same time.
The ideal of life given in the gospels
is utterly foreign to that age and the
Jewish nation, and to humanity. So
crates is, perhaps, the greatest man of
the Greeks, but there are crimes that
he condones: he spoke in doubtful
manner on the greatest questions, and,
to his shame, visited the courtesan
TheodOta, and gave her advice how to
win and keep her lovers: Compared
with the humbleSt real Christian So
crates is disgrace. Shakespeare has
created no character that compares
with that of Jesus. Victor HugO'S Jean
Vatican is, by some, considered the
greatest character ever drawn in fiction,
but who would for moment think OF
comparing Jean Vatican with Jesus?
Even the suggestion of the comparison
has a certain unpleasant shock about it.
Jesus claimed to be greater than Solo
mon, and His life makes good the claim.
He is confessedly greater than Moses;
greater than Confucius; greater than
Sacya NUM-. The standard for the
measurement of Jesus is not among
men. We put our greatest beside Him
and they look small and mean and sin
full. Such character as that of Christ
is beyond the creation OF men. Fiction
does not so invent. Jesus lived that
character. and SO it is revelation.
Peter the fisherman and Paul the phil
osopher did not invent Jesus; they SIM
ply wrote His biography. That accounts
for their harmony; they both told the
truth, and they told what they saw:
We believe with Rosseau that it would
have been more wonderful for several
men to invent this character than for
one man to live it. Ii L were ration
alist 1 would try to be rational and &C
cept the easier side. 1t is easier for the
thoughtful man to accept Christ than to
reject Him.

FAINT RESEMBLANCES.

Judge c. H. Woods looks like the
pictures of President Harrison.
Judge Young resembles Senator
Brown, of George.
President 7. A. McCurdy has the cold
glare of John Sherman.
W. H. Eustis bears a striking resem-
blance to James G. Blaine, in his mind.
Rev. ID. J. Burrell and Judge Thurs
ton, of Nebraska, have some facial
points in common.
Col. John I. West has often been
likened to eX-PreSident Cleveland, but
the resemblance is not marked.
a. j. Boardman is a ringer for John
Wanamaker. pos tmaster general.
Senator Hale, of Maine, and c. NJ.
LOring bear some resemblance to one
another.
There is Minneapolis mail carrier
who looks enough like Rev. Sam Small

HE WILL BE PROMINENT.

A. c. Brown, the attorney who claims
to have discovered flaw to the title to
the ground on which the chamber of
commerce stands, is novus homo in
Minneapolis. He is one of those whose
powers were pent up in Fergus Falls
until two years ago, when he brushed
back his pompadour, dissolved partner
ship with his attorney. c. G. Haupt. and
moved on 10 Minneapolis. He had then
the reputation of being cool, careful,
if not a brilliant, limb of the law. In
Minneapolis he has cut no great figure
until he sprung the claim for $500. 900
worth of ground on the public. If he
establishes it he will at once loom up as
a prominent citizen, and will figure in
newspaper interviews and in the rec
ord of the doings of great city.

fine Concord. The vine is hardy and
tree from rust and mildew, while the
ruit is sweet and pleasant to taste.
A. Chicago man who has narrow
back yard planted row of strawberries
as border to walk about twenty feet
long. He picked last year over one
bushel of big berries.
The quality of milk is affected by the
food and the water given the COW, by
the condition of the stable in which she
is kept, and by the care or slOvenliness
used in milking.
The French coach horse is to have
run of popularity in this country that
will prove lasting and beneficial. The
heavy draft horse business has already
been OyerdOne.
1t is a low estimate to say that fully
seven-eighths of the mortality among
young chicks up to the time when they
become good broilerS is caused by filthy
water and lice.
The best silOs are now made of wood
and are above ground. A portion of
the hay in barn, parritioned off and
double-boarded all around, makes a
good silO.
One advantage in well-tilled land is
that the surface water drains off rapidly
without washing, and the land warns
up quicker and seeding can be done
easier.
In some localities farmers find grow
ing grapes very profitable, more so than
the growing of apples. A hundred vines
may be grown on quarter of an acre.
If milk is carried to the factory or
train, keep the can cover off until ready
to start, and protect the can from the
rays of the sun while on the road.
1t is poor policy to crowd the ewes
and lambs. Give them plenty of room
and they will make you more money.
Dust the neSt-boxes once week with
insect powder, in order to prevent lice
from driving the hens off.
Try small patch of white beans for
winter supply. They require less
labor than corn.
Brood mares will keep in better health
if worked or given exercise in some
manner.
Plant some sweet corn again for late
crop. 1t will grow rapidly at this sea-
son.
Fresh water is essential for all classes
of stock at this season.

TOO KNOWING BY HALF.

There are some people who are always
looking for crooked mystery under
everything said or done by their fellow
men. Plenty of men may be found in
Minneapolis who believe Anderson,
Douglas & Co. and Thomas Lowry are
playing in together on the quiet, though
they can assign no reason to establish
the probability, even, of such a COM
bination. There is another class, too,
who aver that the breeze between the
Tribune and journal is merely a buff
to attract attention, and that tie papers
are secretly still under the same man
agement. 1t all goes to show that men
with the minds of detectives exist in the
most private and secluded walks of life.

MINNEAPOLIS.
PHASES OF LIFE.

If anybody thinks Minneapolis isn't
base ball town, he ought to work in the
telegraph or telephone Office, or in the
editorial room of a morning paper when
the team is away from home, and the
enterprise of the tea-time sheets falls
short of obtaining the score on Sunday
when there are no evening papers. A
pretty telephone girl told GLOBE
man the other day that it was nothing
unusual to have twenty people call
Central in an hour to ask if she has
heard from the game. If not, they want
to be connected with one of the morn
ing newspaper offices or the western
Union, so that they may repeat the
query, The howl for information be-
gins early in the evening. and is kept
I'm until 10 O'Clock or after, some crankS
calling central so often that they feel
obliged to apologize for making SO much
trouble.
A we'll known member of the Cres-

The president of the fat mems club

under consideration the building of a
new and elegant church ediice COM

dropped the scheme for the present at

at Thirteenth avenue and Fourth street
southwest. The new building will be
a $4,000 pressed brick and stone struct-

Constipation,

IF not remedied in season, is liable to
become habitual and chronic. Dras-
tic purgatives, by weakening the bowels,
confirm, rather than cure, the evil.
Ayers Pills, being mild, effective, and
strengthening in their action, are gener-
ally recommended by the faculty as the
best of aperients.
"Having been subject, for years, to
constipation, without being able to find
much relief, at last tried Ayers Pills.
I deem it both duty and pleasure
to testify that have derived great ben
eft from their use. For over two years
past I have taken one of these pills
