A certain young married lady in Min
neapolis, Mimi, is thoroughly imbued
with Minneapolis ideas, and is nothing if
not loyal to her native city. While she
knows all about housekeeping, and can
make dollar go about as far as any one,
when it comes to municipal affairs she is
at sea.
When the assessors were at work one
OF those officials visited the lady's home.
In stating his errand the assessor eX-
planned that he was getting the accurate
value of all the property in the city, and
from the way the population had increased
and real estate jumped he was sure the
assessment would show a prosperous in
crease for Minneapolis.
That caught the young wife, and, not
knowing the whole truth, she believed it
her duty to help swell the valuation by
placing everything owned by herself and
husband at the highest possible figure.
That she was lavish in her estimate of
values there is no doubt, and more sur
prised man than her husband was would
be hard to find when he received notice
that he would have to pay tax on per-
sonal property valued at S11, 900. OF
course he kicked, and finally had the sum
reduced to $1,000, which is even more
than he expected to be assessed for.
1t is safe to say that if an assessor
would call on that woman now she would
tell him that the furniture was only
rented, and that there was chattel
mortgage on the stove.-St. PaW Globe

Secret of Gordon,s wonderful Power.

What was the secret of his wonderful
powerl Much of it lay in his fearless
ness, much in his swiftness of thought
and action, and muchin what the Yankee
would call his capability in all things,
small as well as great. He could ride
and shoot and tinker and conduct cam
paigns and negotiate treaties, all with
unhesitating self-reliance. As matter
of course such a man takes command.
Gordon never lacked opportunities to
show these qualities. When steaming
quietly up the Nile a monkey with which
he was playing fell overheard. In a
twinkling Gordon was in the water after
him. BY good luck the crocodiles got
neither Governor General nor monkey.
When nugger was being hauled up tho
rapids some way south of Lado the cable
got away from the men on the bank and
the vessel was swept on the rocks. Nc
one would volunteer to go out and pick
up the cable and Gordon jumped into a
slif and went alone. To be sure tho
skiff upset, and the Governor General
sat some hours dripping on a rock, but
his men had a lesson. On another oc-
casion the garrison of one of the stations
was thrown into much anxiety by seeing
Gordon alone, rowing across the river to
the east bank, which in that region was
occupied by intensely hostile negroes.
He landed, made his boat fast, and tried
by display of beads and wire to induce
the savages to come and talk with him.
They simply sat on the hillside and
scowled. Finally Gordon shot Il hippo
potamus and padded back, leaving the
beads on the shore and fine feast of
hippopotamus meat in the rushes An
other man would have been killed.
was amused to see on his table at Khar-
toum handsome spoons and forks with
his crest half effaced by rough scratches.
| could fancy Gordon, veXed by some un-
usual fiummery, seizing Il rat-tail file and
proceeding to put out of his sight one
more vanity. 1t was not that he was not
proud of his family. On the contrary, hC
could pay man no greater compliment
than to say "You are like Gordon :
but all the marks and signs of rank some
times became intolerablc to him. Serb

tits not impossible that the new smoke
less and noiseless gunpowder, which has
been successfully tried in several Euro
pean armies, may prove to be an epoch
making invention. The old systems of
warfare will have TO be entirely changed.
Lines will be moved down without a
sign to show from what quarter comes
the deadly hail oftbullets. Wars terrors
will become still more ghastly, battles
will be full of surprises, outpost duty
will be doubly dangerous, the science Of
tactics will have to be reconstructed.
And how deadly an addition the new
powder will be to the sportman's equip
ment! The noiseless destruction it deals
forth is sure to hasten the determination
of game. Much more serious is the as
sistance it may give to murderers. It
looks as if an assassin might walk the
streets with a pistol, and scatter bullets
right and left without being detected,

The church statistics which Superin-
tendent Porter proposes to incorporate in
the coming census will be curious and
interesting. The figures will give: Or
ganizations or societies; church edifices;
seating capacity; value of church prop

give or attempt to give the ratio of
church-goers to church -goers among
those put down as "communicants;"
neither will they undertake to give the
comparative value of the service rendered
by the denominations rsectively in re-
forming the world. .R figures on this

The sum of $25O0 for mass of golden
tresses seems pretty large, but it is just
the figure Mrs. Hyer, of indianapolis,
places ON the lost hair of her eleven-year-
old daughter, Live Tho latter was
committed to the Board of Children's
Guardians some weeks ago, and the
board directed that her beautiful golden
hair should be cut Off, and it was done.
Now the mother has charge of the child
and she wants the money.

There are 5000 medical women in the
United States whose incomes range from
$4,000 to $40, 900 year. The number
is increasing every year, and the supply
of lady Doctors bids fair to be as
great as that of the male physicians.
Austria is the only civilized country in
the world which prohibits women from
entering the medical profession. Russia
and China permit them and the Queens
of Italy and Roumania employ women
physicians.

When my dreams come true-when my
dreams come true
Shall lean from out my easement in the
starlight and the dew,
To listen-smie and listen-to the tinkle Of
the strings
OF the sweet guitar my lovers fingers fondle
as he singsy
And as the nude moon slowly, slowly should
crs into view,
Shall | vanish from his vision, when my
dreams come true?
When my dreams come true-shall the SIM

Be changed to softest satin, and my maiden
braided hair
Be raveled into fossy mists of rarest, fairest
gold.
To be minted into kisses, more than any heart
can holdy
Or ''the summer of my tresses" shall my
lover liken TO
"The fervor of his passion'-when my dreams
come true?
When my dreams come true-I shall bide
among the sheaves
OF happy harvest meadows and the grasses
and the leaves
Shall lift and lean between me and the
splendor of the sun,
Till the moon swoons into twilight the CLEAN

Save that yet an arm shall bind me, even as
the reapers do
The meanest sheaf of harvest-when my
dreams come true?
When my dreams come true-when my

True love in all simplicity is fresh and pure
as dew
The blossom in the blacklist mold is kindlier

And so it is l know my heart viii gladly well

My lowliest of lovers, when my dreams come

evidently not seeing him, sprang at the
window again, but missed the opening,
hurting itself against the wall and falling
on the broken shutters. At the minute
it alighted, aimed at the spot behind
the shoulder and fired; it gave a convul-
sive leap and turned its bloodshot eyes in
our direction. Then Godfrey fired again
and told me TO do the same.
"Back back" cried Rance.

A Wonderful Mirage.

has been named 'Silent City" 1t is
occasionally visible in the summer season

describes it as follows,

o an early July day we suddenly per-
ceiyed rising above the glacier over in
the direction of Mount Fairweather what
at first appeared to be thin, misty cloud.
II soon became clearer, and we distinctly
saw a spectre city moving toward us.
We could plainly see houses, well defined
streets and trees. Here and there rose
tall spires over huge buildings which ap-

drals.

of the spires.
"Of course we were much excited.
The Indians who were with us were over

away. We both had cameras and sepa-
rated in order to take it from different
points of view. BY the time we reached

and soon disappeared.

about twenty-five minutes"

A sudden sound OF wings and voices,
As hurrying night-birds homeward fare:
A restless tremor in the air;
Faint, half-suppressed, impatient noises,
! And signs of waking everywherol
And then a silence asof waiting,
When in uncertainty or fear;
A rosy CLEAN in azure clear;
y A song from some sweet bird that's mating
I And lol the golden morn is here!
