The women of Minnesota have been
given fair warning by jury at Little

is the first Of its kind ever brought in
Minnesota.

amount of $500, 600. The fire originated
at 1-3O o'clock in the morning in the

THE DARK HOUR BEFORE DAY.

How long slept l know not, but
was lying only half awakened when
heard very gentle tap at the door.
The moon had risen, and her great
white disk shone clear over the trees,
throwing a broad light into the room.
Tom heard the tap and sprang up ON the
instant. By the moonlight l saw that
he was dressed as when he first threw
himself down, and could not have been
to bed. AS he opened the door gently:
"Sh-h, dear Toni" said u soft voice

And there she sat, crouched up in the

Ye gods! Here was coolness for you!
But the tender one, far from seeming

sickly flush rose over the face of the

Emin Pasha, Stanley said he did not be-
lieve he would attempt to rcconquer his
equatorial province. Immense effort, he
declared, would be necessary To eject the
Madhists, who have overrun the province.
With reference to the claim made by the
Germans To the territory in Africa, Stan.

tions. They apparently claimed the whole
of the country. Stanley also stated that
the Aruwhimi forest, which belongs To the
Congo free state, was enormously rich,
especially with rubber trees, richer than
the Amazon forest. This section of
Africa. he declared, would be the rubber
reservoir of the universe.
