PRESIDENT Will, WRIGHT.

organizations of the city. Will H.
Wright, reporter on the journal, who
came to Minneapolis fresh from college
about three years ago, is the originator
of the club, and very properly has been
elected its first president. In appear
ance he is almost the ideal of manly
beauty and his figure would strike at
tention even Oh the ball field when the
pitcher has just given a base On balls.
Picture to yourself a young man whose
eye is kindled every morning by the
fire of youth, whose nostrils fairly
culver from suppressed excite
ment as he looks upon the battle
field of life, eager to join in the fray
and become leader in any movement
from a german to a progressive euchre
party. A well poised head on swan
like neck that gracefully slopes from
the apex to the broad shoulders in pleas
ing curves. Hands and feet so SYM
critically formed that they can scare be
told apart save from the distinctive
usage to which nature has put them.
No wonder that Will Wright is admired
by the fair sex. and that his pictures
are sought after by the lovers of the
beautiful. AS president of the viii club
he has achieved social prominence that
is as remarkable as his rise in journal
mits reporter to that of municipal court
nOvelisU and city hall word painter.

amined him closelyin the glass, of early
decay. There was weary, jaded look
in his face, as if women had been too
kind to him, as if he were suffering
from ennui-in all except his handsome
brown eyes. Those eyes were bright
and beautiful still, with a sort of
languid, senSuous, deyil-may-care
laughter in them.

1t is currently reported that Frank
Larabee has fOrSaken his former aSso-
ciates, and has now taken up his quar-
tiers along with the rest of the wealthy
population of Minneapolis at the West
hotel. He says the cooking is almost as
good as that dt the Chrysanthemum,
and the pie is more plenty and cut IN
larger sections. They say that Frank
is so good at persuasion that he can
argue quarter out of any pie.

Frank Deshon, it is said, has Joined
Will Wright and gone into society.
Franks many friends will miss HIM
from his favorite haunts, where his eX-
otto smile and apt limitations were wont
to bring forth many smiles and welcome
invitations to partake of evidences of
sociability. IT'S not that he loved the
boys the less, but he loved the others
more.
1t has been generally supposed that
Jack Beach was of an even tempera-
ment that could not be ruffled, but when
friend from Duluth dared to iuSinuate
that st. Paul had any rights which the
average man was bound to respect, he
donned his war paint, and Minneapolis
had an able champion for about ten
minutes.
The report that Lou Redfeld's trip TO
Chicago had anything to do with a 50
license, minister and young lady, is
false and malicious. Lou will bring
back nothing with him but vacant
stare, and a fondness for tired natures
sweet restOrer. Nevertheless his friends
will be glad to see him back in any
shape.
