Mack are both known far and wide as
fun producers of high character, and

bers are artists of the first rank, and
have won fame and distinction in their
respective lines. Remember that in ad-

One af the most delightful affairs that

9th street South, on Thursday evening,
Dec. 18th. The guests arrived early and
dancing commenced at 8 o'clock to the
sweet strains of violin and harp, and
continued until IL O'Clock, when an ele-
CANT lunch was served, consisting of
sandwiches, oyster patties. chicken
salad, coffee, ice cream and cake, aftt r
which dancing was resumed un il nearly
2 O'Clock when the guests departed un-
animously expressing themselves as
having the most enjoyable time they
ever :ad in Minneapolis. Those pres
ent were: Misses French, Thompson,

John M. Allison acted as master of cere-
monies, and as usual never allowed the
enjoyment to lag.
Attorney Morris opened his argument
for new trial in the case of John .Rop-
ers, for the reason that two of the iur-
ors who had served on the case had been
drawn second time in succession on
two venires. The argument was we'll
taken, but Judge >Lochren held that the
attorney had been given bis opportunity
to challenge. He stated that if he had
any idea that the jurors we're biased he
would grant the motion. There was no
doubt that the ground would have been
we'll take as a challenge. but under the
circ rcumstances the motion would have to
be denied. The attorney then pleaded
with the court for leniencv on the
grounds that the prisoner had a wife
and family in Wisconsin for whom he
had partly purchased home, which
would be lost to them should he be lock-
ed up for long. The jury had. recon-
mended him to the mercy of the court.
The prisoner was sworn and stated
that he had worked as a quarryman.
Judge Lochren stated that he had seen
nothing in the testimony to warrant a
recommendation to mercy, but never
the'less it should have some weight.
He was given hard labor at Saltwater
for two years.
Mr.. Morris is making great impress
sion here in court circles, as a profound
student of law, and a fine practitioner.
He is doing great honor to our race.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Fortune does not change men; 1t
unmasks them
A short absence quickens love. a
long absence kills II.
Women are in moral world
what flowers are in the physical.
One may be better than bis rep
utatlon or his conduct, but mover
better than his principles.
The feeble trembIe before opinion
the foolish defy it, .tneswise judge it,
the skillful direct it.
There will always remain some
thing to be said of a woman, as long
as there is one on earth.
II a hearts were frank, Just and
honest, the major part OF the virtues
would be useless to us.
A lion among ladies Is most
dreadful thing, for there is not a
more fearful wild fowl than your lion
living.
Some men relate what they think
as what they know; some men OF
confused memories and habitual In
accuracy, ascribe to one man what
belongs to annother, and somc talk
on without thought or care.
A Wise man carries all bis treasure
within himself; what fortune gives
che may take, but she leaves nothing
at her mercy. Hc stands firm and
keeps bis ground against all misfor.
tunes, without 50 much as changing
countenance.
