If, IN completing his cabinet, President
Harrison should lind that he is short OF

Arrested by Mistake.


Miss Lou Craven ana Mrs. Jennie Boyd,
the two handsome and accomplished
daughters of Mr.. D. M. Craven Of Menoken,
passed through rather thrilling exper-
ience at Moorhead the other night, and are
now two Of the most justly indignant
young ladies in the northwest. It seems
that the ST. Paul police were on the scent
of couple Of very bad women who were
attempting to flee from that wicked city
and who had procured tickets for Glen
dive and boarded the train for the west.
The st. Paul authorities immediatly tele-
graphed to M0orhead to have two women
holding tickets for Glendive arrested and
held there. Miss Craven and Mrs. Boyd
were in the M0orhead depot waiting for
the west train at 8 O'clock in the morning,
when they were dumbfOunded by the ap-
pearance Of two hurley cops, who arrested
them on Q charge of grand larceny. The
frightened young ladies were not given Q
chance for explanation, but were hustled
off to the Jay Cooke house, where they
were confined until II q. m. Meanwhile 9
telegram from st. Paul amicably explained
matters and the ladies were released from
durance vile with pr0fuse apologies from
the hasty police.

APRIL FOOL JOKES.
A Good Hoax on the People of Pittsburg

A Good Hoax on the People of Pittsburgh
and Another IIayed In London.
On LIST OF April some forty years
ago. advertisements appeared in the
morning newspapers OF Pittsburgh an
nouncng that at three o'clock that
afternoon the inventor of q new flying
machine would give public exhibit
ton OF the practically of his inven-
ton. He would fly from one OF the
Allegheny river bridges to another,
over the middle OF the stream. Long
before the hour set for the novel ex-
hibition, both the bridges and the
banks OF the river between them were
densely crowded by men, women and
children. all excitedly eager to see the
flying man. But the only flying done
was by frightened goose that some
body liberated from the middle Of the
upper bridge little after four o'clock,
until which time the crowd had. with
tolerabe patience. waited. The bird.
alarmed by the roar OF the multitude
that greeted it. flew swiftly down the
river, under the lower bridge. and far
beyond the Point" where it was lost
to sight.
Then, all ut once, the knowledge
seemed to burst upon the throng that
the whole affair was an april Fool''
joke, and the many thousands OF spec
tators disappeared almost as if by
magic, so in haste were they to get
away from the spot. And that even
ing it was hard to find a. citizen who
would admit that he had been near the
Allegheny river that day.
Even better than that. as Il joke upon
popular credulity, was a trick perpe-
trated in London no longer ago than
1860 Thousands of persons received
official-lOoking invitAtions to be pres
ent on Sunday forenoon, April l. ito
witness the annual ceremony of the
washing OF the White Lions in the
Tower" The favored recipients of
these missives were instructed to pre-
sent themselves at the White Gate for
admission. All the forenoon the
streets near the Tower were thronged
by hundreds OF vehicles bearing peo-
Pile in quest of the White Gate.
Finally, somebody little less thick
witted than the rest OF the crowd re-
membered that there was no White
Gate to the Tower; that there were no
white lions. and that ceremonials I'M
der Governmental auspices on Sunday
were at least wildly improbable. Like
an electric shock his reflections flashed
through the throng of ceremonyseek-
ers, and their recognition of the fact
that they all were ''April fools" sent
them scurrying away in angry haste.

CHEATING THE PUBLIC.



The Public is u credulous fellow.
But, for all that it does not pay to cheat
him. Some tradesmen have an idea
that II they can only wheedle him into
their establishments by plausible ad-
yertsements, it is the easiest thing in
the world to pick his multitudinous
pockets. But although exaggeration
and falsehood, with the aid OF startling
typographical effects, may induce a
rush OF customers. they viii not secure
a steady run. Capitalized offers of
fashionable dry goods at fifty per cent.
under the current rates may lure the
many-headed mass to the proffered
feast Of cheap things (for man is nat
uraliy a bargain-loving animal, and
women more SOY, but If "Choap Johns"
merchandise bellies his printed boast
ings, the visit will not be repeated.
The Public, being of magnanimous
disposition. and unwilling to give
trouble without rendering Quid pro
quo, will lug out his numerous wallets,
disburse without murmur and carry
bargains, the mendacious merchant
meanwhile rubbing his hands and CON
gratu ating himself on the success of
his advertising dodge. But he will
look in vain for the return In force OF
our victimized friend, Day by day his
business will fall off. and he will be
pretty sure to learn in the end by sad
experience, that the community. credit
lous rs it is, can not be beguiled time
after time into the same trap, baited
with tho same chat.
Hundreds OF Cheap Johns of this
class have hourished and faded in New
York within our recollection, while the
honorable houses with whom they
hoped to compete by bidding for custom
with false pretenses. grow stronger
weather. and more popular every year
As a rule, never expect to get bar
gains from merchants who advertise
to sell goods below auction prices. N

THE POETIC MiNUET.
How the Dancers Feet Are Trained to Its

1.-The first thing" says a teacher of
the newly fashionable minuet, that a
lady has TO learn is TO hold the skirts
of her dress. In the beginning of the
mlnuet she must take her ovrrskirt
with both hands, just clutching the
edge OF the garment with the TIPS of
the fingers, and raise it from the floor
about as high us the tips of her boots.
Then standing squarely upon both
feet she is in the first attitude of the
minuet. Following that comes the

get out of the narrow limits in which
they have been held. In 1869 Frau

Germany, was so fortunate rs TO enjoy
royal patronage. this at once bringing
her into prominence. Since that time
several others from Germany and En-

upon their graduation have returned
to practice in their native lands.

silly Beliefs That Have Secured a Strong
Foothold Everywhere.
Some people believe that if they be-
gin piece Of work on a Friday they
will never finish it; some believe that
if they see the new moon over their
right shoulder they will have good
good luck. Probably the superstition
having the strongest hold upon people
is that connected .ith the number
thirteen. The original superstition
was that if thirteen people sat down at
table together at the same time with
out being aware of the number, and
that if they arose at the same time,
one of them would die within year
from that date. Victor Hugo is said
to have believed this, and, laying
aside superstition, it is a very reason
able statement OF thirteen persons
selected at random, one would be very
likely to die within year.
The thirteen superstition, in it's
original form, was surrounded by too
many conditions to be very forcibly
impressed upon people, but the num-
Der thirteen has gradually come to be
regarded by the superstitious as being
in some way connected with misfor-
tunes almost everywhere it occurs. If
i'll luck befall one OF these unfortu-
nately constituted persons he at once
begins an Investigation to see if the
number thirteen was not responsible
for it. A woman, writing to con-
temporary, says that she was married
on August ID, and that her married
life has been almost a perpetual strug-
gle. Her husband has repeatedly
failed in business. Fortune might
seem to smile upon him for while.
but in the end he would fail. She
wants to know if the fact that she was
married on August 10 hadn't something
to do with it.
Of course it hadn't Her husband is

Insufficient attention to business, or he
lacks some quality that is essential to
success. He probably want d to make
fortune in day, so to speak, and.
failing to do so. he abandoned one
branch of business after another.
There are many such men. If they
would adhere intelligently to one line
OF work they would probably succeed.
In many instances superstitions have
obtained such strong foothold that it
would seem to be useless to try to
show their unreasonableness. -Savan-
