-J. J. Franklin of the Stafford Springs and Southbridge stage route don't like the experience he had in sending man to Willimantic to lead horse to his home in Mashapaug. His coming was delayed, and MT. F. went in search. Hearing of him in Mansfield he went there, and found that the charms of wine and woman had en nthraIled him, but that he had left that place for Warrenville to attend an Indian show. There MT. F. found his horse, and took it away, leaving the dilatory mes senger to hoof it home, and his female companion from Mansfield ditto.

 "Fall planting of trees has this advan- tage, the trees are now in dormant con- dition and will remain 80 for months, therefore when planted at this season there IS ample time for the earth to get settled well around the roots, and, when growth starts in the spring, they are all at home ready for business, and, if they live thro' the winter, will make more rapid growth than spring-set trees.

Many trees plant ed in fall and not earthed up, I have seen swayed about till hole three or four inch es in diameter was found at the base of the tree. This will often fill up with wa ter and freeze, bursting the bark of the tree and killing it. One other objection to fall planting is that, in stiff clay soils that heave more or less by the frosts of winter, trees get thrown out of place, roots torn, etc. That works injury. The best general answer to give is to plant at once and earth up well at the base, if soil is not stiff clay, but in that case heel in the trees, and plant early in spring.

One notorious woman-hater remarked that he was glad to see that no women were al- lowed to assist in the preparation of the food, for now he could eat and stomach the same. But another suggested that the sign was put there in kindly consideration of the ladies, that they might enjoy the SUD- per with none of the qualms that glance into the kitchen might give them. But whatever the kitchen might have been, in the dining room all was neat and clean as wax, and the ladies were unsel6sh and generous in praising all that was in sight of the feast. It was one of the prettlest of spreads, and didn't need the novelty of caribou meat to give it relish. Do itagain, boys.

What Various Minneapolis Papers
Have to Saw on Current TOpics.

the News hard for using ''small cap"

familiarity with our columns that is
quite gratifying.-South Minneapolis

The anxiety of Mrs. DR.. Ripley that

anxiety that some lady should hold

home and spank her babies and allow
the 'horrid men, who have been
elected members of the board of educa-
ton to run the schools. These gentle
men are not overworked, and there is
no need of increasing the numerical
strength of the body. In fact, if the in
side truth were absolutely brought into
the broad glare of the midday sunlight
it would be found that they are not

George W. Orff, after brief but
stormy career as building inspector of
the city of Minneapolis, has resigned
the Office. The trouble with Mr.. Orff is
that he has not, what was possessed in
an eminent degree by Miles Grogan, a
genius for politics. He insisted on re-
tanning in service the chief clerk under
his predecessor in Office, man pecu-
liarly well qualified for the position by
both natural ability and several years.
experience in the place. This attempt
to maintain in Office man of different
political views from the majority of
the council was construed as an in
suit by some of the petit politicians,
but a greater was to come when the in
SpectOr discharged newly elected dep
uty for incompetence, INSTRUMENTATION
and neglect of duty. A man with so
little sense of what is proper in prac-
teal politics as to attempt to administer
a public Office on business methods,
clearly has, as we said before, no gen.
Jus for politics, and so Mr.. Orff is now
simply holding down the Office until his
successor is elected. But soberly, let
the council be consistent in this matter
of the building inspectorShip and the
law; either let the inspector appoint
his own subordinates, as is done in the
city engineers and the fire departments,
and then hold him responsible for any
failure to enforce the law, else abolish
the office and the law together.-North-

and speculated on the time necessary
for a cure.
.'Naow, RELY think that if the heal

ought to heal at one tech, jest as He
did," said the woman from Merriam
Park. who wanted to get back to her
family.
The lady who seemed to be the oracle
of the party tried to encourage the
Respondent mother by telling of cases
that had taken whole years treat

HERE'S A FINE POINT.
An Interesting Suit for Damages
Heard i'm the Courts.

All Interesting SuiC IOf damages
Heard in the Courts.
The case of Henry Schulze against
the county commissioners Of Hennepin
county, to recover $4,000 damages for
injuries received, was tried before
Judge Hooker in the district court yes
terday and, owing to its Importance,
was closely watched by large number
of attorneys. Schulze was seriously in
jured last fall while driving in the
night over the old. territorial road in
st. Anthony, by reason of the alleged
negligence or the county commissioners
in leaving dangerous place in the road,
by them created in an unprotected and
unsafe condition, and without danger
signals. County Attorney Jamison
CLAIMED that a county was not liable for
damage for injuries sustained by reason
of the defective condition of public
highway. r. l.. Penney, who appeared
for SchulZe, admitted that county was
not liable in such cases unless the
county commissioners had erected the
obstruction or had caused the defect, as
it is claimed they did in this case. The
case was heard and taken under advise
ment, and the decision will be looked
for with interest. The case will proba-
bly, go to the supreme court, no matter
what the decision is.

up the scientist stated her terms and
told me to come again. The treatment
is remarkable for its utter simplicity
and the absence of any devices or ma
chinery.
The scientist gave me a circular of
four pages to study. 1t emphasized the
Importance of believing implicitly in
the scientist and obeying her directions
to the letter. Upon these observances
depend the cure. Personally l should
protest against that sort of thing, but
the ladies seem to enjoy it. and vie with
each other in exalting the healer and
surrounding her with sort of halo of
mysticism. Mesmerists, spiritualists
and others have been accused of acauir-
ing the same power and sometimes mis-
using it but Christian scientist,
never. Perhaps it's impossible.
