Lutte TAYLORISMS.

Probably one Of the funniest story tellers
and wags of old Minnesota days was Lutte
Taylor, a genius who circulated through the
river towns for number of years. One
cold, wintry day during the war times he
came to the old Merchants hotel and Or
dered whisky. Liquor in those days was
served in glasses as large as the present
water goblets. Several men standing about
the bar noticed with amazement that Taylor
took his medicine in one gulp and without
water. One of them stepped up and said
to him:
my friend, I have never met you before,
and 1 never expect to meet you again, but
should say that you were Democrat"
You never were more mistaken in your
life, sir, replied Lutte. Il have all the symp
toms,'' he added, lifting up his glass, ''but
thank God have not the disease"
I t t
1t was Taylor who. when several compan-
ions claimed that Webster and Choate were
the greatest lawyers in the United States,
sneeringly replied:
'.Bosh! E. v. Wise, Of Prescott, is greater
than they"
'.Ho, hor' roared the party. ''who says
that Wise is?''
''He admits it himself" was Taylor's con-
elusive answer.

And still she held her pen in hand,
Long hesitating in discreet
And thoughtful self-command.
How feverish became that BROW
What frantic fancies through her brain
There coursed! But slowly, calmly, now
AS il in exquisite pain,
Upon the unsullied page she traced
The sentences of fire-each word
Would be forth-heralded in haste
And by the People heardl
Inspired by some assisting muse,
she breathed the essence of her heart
Into her screed; she gave her views
At least she did her part!
She wrote and wrote. nor seemed to tire,
In letters large and angular,
And signed her name-with great desire
For style new-fangular.
At last It's donel She folds the note;
Ger fame she entertains hepe);
And she's an actress, and she wrote

ST. PAUL HANDS,

The startling information is conveyed, via
the Eastern society journals, that the latest
popular fad with the ladies is having their
hands photographed. A most rigid research
on the part of the GLOBES social detectives
has failed to discover any tendency by the
St. Paul ladies to initiate this craze. 1t is the
popular notion in local CLUB circles that
pretty feminine hand can be put to q better
use than mere photography, and rather
correct notion too. The pretty st. Pau! hand
is characteristic. 1t is small, but not tiny,
and it's beauty lies in its delicate taper and
small breadth of palm and finger tips. Still
one could scarcely admire the hand when it
belongs to woman who would cut the wrist
of glove to display cluster OF gems on her
bracelet, as was seen on a cable car yesterday.
owen Meredith once broke out:
The hand of a woman
Is oftimes in youth,
Somewhat rough, somewhat red,
Somewhat graceless, in truth.
Do its.beauties refine
As its pulses grow calm?
Or when sorrow has.crossed
The life line in the palm?
But Owen probably had his experience
among the milkmaids of Devons, not GER
tainly among the fair DANES of ST. Anthony
hill They never knew sorrow, but their
beauties have refined, no matter how much
cocoa cream they may have consumed.

A LIBERAL VIEW,

Some of the extremists wanted the
anti-Christian Sunday schools at Balti-
more interfered with by law, but Car
dinal GIBBONS is a man of much
broader vision. In a sermon there last
Sunday he referred to the petition of
the preachers, and said he would regret
to see the law invoked for such pur-
pose. He did not believe men could be
made religious by law. and the only in
reference he would favor would be
with argument and persuasion. A school
to teach irreligion might be suspected
of inconsistency in the recognition of
the Sabbath, but it is an anachronism
for any one in this age in a civilized
land to attempt to control religious
opinions by legal enactment. Infdel
Sunday schools are not likely to be very
lively institutions or long-lived where
they are treated with the courtesy and
lack Of intolerance shown by Cardinal
GIBBONS.
