Of His Life Re-

Hen OF Missouri and Minneap-

Most Of Them Inherit Moth

Name.

Name.
Mrs. f. e. Towers, of Minneapolis,
has recently completed and tied a blue
ribbon round tall bunch of cream
tinted copy which, when printed and
gwen to the world, will be known as
James Inheritance" "James' inner
itance" has been probated by one of the
best critics in the city, who prOnounceS
the style lucid, perspieuous. graphic and
entertaining and the plot curker.
He does not inform the public
what James inheritance consisted
in, preferring to leave the joy of hunt
Ing up the items to those who monkey
with the train boy and strain their eyes
tracing James through oklahoma and
back again. as il is understood he came
back in order to participate in the
events Of the last chapter, where he also
marries, and being ITO longer of any
human interest, the book closes. at
this point Mrs. Towers has written
fms in letters as high as base ball
fence. Now all she has to do is to page
the copy and find publisher, two jobs
that are not necessarily of equal diff
Guilty, because they are mentioned in
the same sentence.
It is to be hoped that the people will
not have long to wait before james
Inheritance" is laid bare before them.
There are 34.398 men ard boys named
James in this city who are anxious to
read about it. and If the story is pub
lishei in the papers they will borrow
copies from their neighbors until every
jim in the gang has discovered just
what it was.
A large number of books have already
been written about things inherited by
men named James, and the most
famous of these is the life Of the
james brothers, which faithfully f,0r-
uays the fact that Jesse James in-
hefited full beard and an inclination
to appropriate the products of
the filtering of other mems
brows. With all his coarse,
obnOxious instincts he also inherited
love of art which was unhappily the
cause Of his demise, for it was while he
was hanging picture on the wall OF
his little cottage in secluded Missouri
ravine that the Ford boys took the OPP
portunity to kill him. They afterwards
tried to justify themselves by asserting
trated "ad" when they drew on him.
twenty Years of Congress is a thrill
ing story of the Inheritance of James Il.
Blaine. Mr.. Blaine did not wish to in
herit twenty years of congress. and tried
several times to break out and get into
the White house, but the will OF the
people was too strong for him.
Quite a number OF men named James
have inherited freekles, and among
them none is more worthy of mention
in book than James Bradisli, Of this
village. They used to guy James when
he was bog, and tell him the COW had
blown bran or brand in his face, and
it troubled him so much that his mother
resolved to remove the freckleS with
applications of diluted horseradiSh
juice. She succeeded in peeling Off his
freckles and left the bones Of his face
practically undisturbed.
If Mrs. Towers had wanted to use
one of our rising young men as her
hero, she could not have picked out a
more promising subject than James
Brady. who came here from Missouri,
having received from his fathers estate
naught but good looks and an unf1inch-
ing honesty that cOmpels him to tell the
truth about rival roads, even if it kills
their business.
James Wyman came into this world
without anything to recommend him,
not even hair or teeth, both of which he
has acquired by his own honesty and in
tegrity, and he stands to-day one of the
foremost young business men Of the
city, the only man who can keep the
peace in a board Of trade meeting. He
is what is popularity known as Jim
dandy.
James Lawrence, better known as
Jimmie, who has been an Old settler in
Minneapolis since his third year, might
have an entertaining book written about
hinpif he would only consent to tell
what he knows about himself.
Another excellent type of the James
family is James ID. Springer. 1t is a
popular superstition that he inherited
his antipatlly to the Manitoba road, but
this is mistake. He never had it in for
the Manitoba until five years ago, when
he came ia from trip over the section
one night and found Jim Hill trying to
pull up piece Of the st. Louis track.
Mr., Springer got Off the hand-car, set
his dinner pail in corner where 1t
would be safe, and sailed into j. Hill
with both fists Ever since that time he
las slept with one eye open and his
hand OH an axe, expecting a renewal OF
the attack.
James Griffin inherited large fortune
and a choice collection of explosives,
10th of which he has managed to in
crease by jndicious Investments that
yielded small profits and quick returns.
Some other Jims. who would be good
book subjects, brought nothing into the
world but AN appetite for strong drink,
which they have all developed 10y per-
severance into abnormal cases Of Jim
