minneapolis Thugs Relieve Stranger of
100000 In Broad Daylight.
The boldest, most successful and most
reckless highway robbery ever attempted in
minneapolis occurred In the glaring light of
day the other morning. Henry Hage went
there for the purpose OF marrying bis
sweetheart, Miss Rena Dyset. Hage left
tho house for the purpose of getting shaved
at Kessler's barber-shop He found no one
at the shop and started homeward, and on
the way back he was accosted by stranger
who said he was barber and would take
him to his house and shave him. Hage &C
companied him, and they had proceeded
but short distance when the pseudo bar

distance OF about ten miles from the scene
OF the attack, and, after robbing him of
about $50, 600, the brutes bound him hand
and foot and tied him to tree Hage re-
manned In the woods unconscious, bound
and helpless for three days, when he sue
ceeded In freeing himself and wandered
home There was no clew to the thieves.
The $50, 600 of which he was robbed was in

LlFE'S BEST YEARS.
But Only a Woman Can Properly NO
Their Elcpiness.

But Only Woman Can Properly Mold
Their H Aopiness,
From twenty-one to twenty-five might
be the best years of life, but upon one
condition only that seems possible.
The condition is that the man be in
bonds of noble servitude of admiration
to a nobls woman. There will be
much of disquiet attendant upon such a
service; but it will be the restlessness
of sure and certain growth, and growth
in the highest direction. All! but the
woman must be of exalted mold-little
short, indeed, of a divinity. Other
wise, it were diabolical.
The Greeks had no more than an
inl1ling of this method, although. as a
rule, they could not rear such high
souled women as it is the privilege of
modern Europe to excel in. With
them the philosophers played the part
of the woman. Often they played it
detestably, but not always. The rare
exceptions were those unsexed men
who had attained to the state of pure
contemplative spirits, to whom the
world is but a shadow of world.
They made Greece.
Similarly, the woman of our age
who, from the most unselfish motives,
devotes herself to others-whether to
individuals or classes, or entire ma
tions--has in her power to make the
man In his early manhood. This is
we'll known, but it is worth iteration.
If only we could keep colleges of tried
women for the finishing of the educa-
ton of our boys! I warrant the re-
suit would be astounding. ALI the
Year Round.

>veloped love for athletic sports
There were good many boxers in the mill
who ridiculed the country boy. In order to de-
fend himself from insult he learned to box. In
the course OF q year Kilran whipped four Of
his tormentors and established his reputat ion
locally.
In the winter Of 1888 Kilrain started out as
professional puglist and obtained q situation
in the Boston Cribb Club as assistant in
structor in boxing. While in this employ he
met and defeated the colored pugilist
George Godfrey and fought draw with
Jem Goode. He next tackled Charles
Mitchell with the gloves, which contest
also resulted in draw. Then came On
encounter with Mike Cleary, who Is training
