It was here in Minneapolis that Mr..
Cleveland was injudiciOus. He and
his wife were panied to read the toll
lowing conversation in the paper on the
day after their visit to the Flour city:
yes, | like the town pretty well,
but the people, some Of 'em are too
blamed fresh"
"Do yon think so, Grover. thought
they were very nice, indeed, and still |
think like st. Paul the best. 1t is so
old and respectable"
ooh, yes, responsibility is good
enough in its place, but it can be over
done. l like Washington where 20.

But are you not enjoying yourself
here, honeyS"
mo, / am not. To tell you the
truth, i am very unhappy. I'm so
scared for fear that I'll say something
about the place that will be used
against me by the st. Paul folks, that l
almost wish | was dead, and every
body wants to show me the new bridge
and the water works and speak of our
great and phenomenal growth and
show me the population statistics, and
the schoolhouse, and the Washburn
residence and Doc. Ames. and Ole
Forgerson, and the saw mill, and the
boom, and then walk me up into the
thirteenth story of a flour mill and
pour cornmeal down my back and
show me the wonderful growth of the
city debt, and the sewerage, and the
West Hotel, and the glorious ozene and
things here, that it makes me tired.
And / have to look happy and shake
hands and say it knocks st. Paul silly,
while don't think SO at all, and wish
could do something besides be Presi-
dent for couple of weeks and quit
lying almost entirely except when /
went fishing"
"B do you think the people here
arc very cordial, darling?"
Eyes, they're too cordial for me alto
gether. Instead of talking about the
wonderful hit have made rs Presi-
dent, and calling attention to my re-
markable administration, they talk
about the flour output and tho electric
plant and other crops here, and allude
feelingly to number one hard and
chintz bugs and other flora and fana of
this country which, to be honest with
you, do not aud never did give q dam
for"
Grover p
"Well, beg your pardon, dear, and
oughtn't to speak that way before
you, but if you knew how much better
feel now you would not speak so
harshly to me. 1t is, indeed, hard to
be ever gay and joyous before the great
masses who, as general thing, do not
know enough to pound sand but who
are still vested with the divine right of
suffrage, and so must be treated gently,
and loved and smiled till it makes me
ache"

This is the trunk of young girl and
contains the poor but honest garb she
wore when she ran away from home.
Also the gay clothes she bought and
paid for afterward with gentle men,
cries OF her mother and the baby
prayers she said before q wicked am
bition had poisoned her simple heart.
They are the gaudy garments and
flashy trappings for which she ex.
changed her honest laugh and her
bright and beautiful youth. Handle
gently the poor little trunk rs you
would touch her sad little history, for
her father is in the second-class coach
weeping softly into his poor coarse red
handkerchief, and she herself Is going
home on the same train in her cheap
little coffin in the baggage car to meet
her Borrowing mother, who will 60 up
into the garnet many rainy afternoons
to cry over this poor little trunk in the
days TO come, and no one will know
about it. 1t will he secret known
only to her Borrowing heart and God.

WILLIAM THE WANDERER.
HEWRITES FEW THINGS WHICH
he HAS THOUGHT UP.
Lines on the Prosperous Porter-Where
M. Cleveland Lost Votes-A Small
Repo ter with Ghoulish Glee
Downs the Great Man-The
Refoi med Lecturer--Also
the Baggage Mans
Alphabet.

Every thinkful student has doubtless
noticed that when he enters the Office
or autograph department of an Amer
lean n 1.-The and alert male person
seizes his valise or travelling bag with
much earneslness. He then conveys it
to some sequestered spot and does not
again return. He is the reporter of the
hotel or inn. He may be an humble
porter just starting out, or he may be
swollen and purse.proud porter with
silver in his hair and also in his sock.
speak of the porter and his humble
lot in order TO show the average Amer
lean boy WI may read these lines that
humor Is not the only thing in America
which Yields large divid, nds on n very
small capital. 10 be a porter does not
require great genius or education or
intellectual versatility, and yet, well
attended to, the business is remunera-
tive in the extreme and often yields
excellent returns. 1t shows that any
American boy who does faithfully and
well the work assigned to him may be-
come weil-to-do and prosperous. Last
week | shook hands with conductor
on the Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
road, who is the president of a bank.
There is a general impression in the
public mind that conductors all die
poor, but here is Jerry" rs every
body calls him, man forty-tive years
of age perhaps, with long head of
whiskers, and the pleasant position of
President of the Irish-Amerlcan Bank.
As he thoughtfully slams the doors
from car to car, collecting fale on
children who are no longer young, and
whose parents seek TO conceal them
under the seats or as he goes from pas
senger 10 passenger sticking large
blue checks in their new silk hats, and
otherwise taking advantage Of people,
he is sustained and SOothed by the
blessed thought that he has done the
best he could, and that some day when
the summons comes TO lay aside his
loud smelling lantern and make his
last run, he will leave his dear ones
provided for. Perhaps / ought TO add
that during all these years Of Jerry's
prosperity, the road has also managed
to keep the wolf from the door. j
mention 1t because it is so rare for the
conductor and the road to make money
at the same time. / knew n conduc-
tor on the Union Pacific railroad some
years ago who used TO make great
deal of money, but he did not invest
it wisely, and so to-day is not the
president of bank. He made great
deal of money in one way or another
while on his run, but the man with
whom he was wont to play poker in
the evening is now President of the
bank. The conductor is in The PURGE.

They say that Mime. Tallien had five
and thirty wigs, each of which had
cost thirty gold louis. There was o
certain noble young Partisan named
Mile. LepelletIer de st. Fargeau who
was married not long after RObespierre
lost his head. In her trousseau were
inc aided twelve fine blonde wigs with
twelve tulle, feather, flower, gauze and
ribbon caps, worth, some of them, 800
francs each, TO adorn the coffurers.
We model our gowns after the fash
ion of the directory; are we to look to
rye olden times also with regard to

How many women do you suppose
have ruined their hair by drenching it
with golden washes? 1t costs more to
buy blonde wig than it does to bleach
you own hair, but there is this advan-
tage that you can change back again
any day you please, And in the busy
weeks of the social season it's so con-
venient. A woman can send her wig
10 a hair-dresser and get it fixed for the
opera or ball without any trouble to
herself, when TO have her own hair
done as deliberately and becomingly
would cost much time, cutting her out
entirely from Mrs. IS delightful tea

TIE MONETARY SITUATION.
The improvement In the money market, which
began soon after the first Of the month, has con-
tinued, and the tendency in the past week has
been toward greater ease ~ both demand and
time loans. Tie principal cause OF the better
supply OF funds has been the heavy buying OF
bonds by tho Treasury, but the extreme ease OF
money in London and at the principal Continental
centres, which undoubtedly has been instrumental
in preventing exports OF specie. has had q reflex
influence on this market. Tho average rates
for call loans during the week were to 3 l-2 per
cent and although there was slight durry on
Friday, IL was plainly the result OF speculative
manipuhtiOn that 10 had only contrary effect TO
what had been expected by the schemers. While
there WIS no material lowering of the rates for
time loans, borrowers readily obtained concessions
In the way of the collateral security required and
the amount OF funds seelCiD" this form Of en-
ployment so largo that lenders were satisfied
in even maintaing the nominal rates. IL Is evil
dent that the outflow Of money 10 the interior
has been checked, and IL il highly probable that
q return movement has set in. The demand from
Boston and other Eastern points has ceased and
it is impossible that ID should be revived, in any
thing ike It's recent proportions, for some time
TO come.
The only contingent danger seems to be in the
high rates. for the foreign exchanges. AT the
crate demand for nmittances would be likely to
result IN shipments Of gold. A few security DIS
appeared in the market on Wednesday and Thurs
day, but the supply Was speedily exhausted and
OH the following day the weakness in rates had
disappeared. The low price OF money abroad
tends however, 10 postpone the necessity OF
mercantile remittanoes and the arbitrage dealings
In stocks IL is assumed, must be in favor of this
country. The policy OF the Treasury Is, more
over, IN assurance that the effect Of gold ship
ments would be counteraoted by liberal purchases
Of Government bonds
