He Wanted No More overcoats Stolen.

A story is told of a certain club wag,
who, in his numerous visits upon his
large circle of friends, had had several
overcoats stolen from the hat racks.
Accordingly when he called one cold
night last winter upon lady of his ac-
quaintance he was equipped with a long,
fine steel chain, which he attached to the
ssSiberian" after it had been placed upon
the rack, and covertly paid out the chain
from his trousers pocket to its full
length. The end was reached when he
took seat just inside the parior door.
The precaution leaked out later IN the
evening and the undercurrent cynic-
ism of the scheme quite atoned for the

Ar Interesting Description of
the Country.

The following letter, written by Geo.
E. Clark, Of the firm of Clark Bros,
of this village, to the Marcellus(N.Y)
Observer, will be perused with inter-
est by all readers of THE BULLETIN.
HANcoe K, Mimi. Sept. LIST, 1890.
EDITOR oBsERYER:-T This thrifty town
witllIts three or four hundred inhabi-
tants Is situated on the Great Northern
r. r. in the southeastern part of Stevens
Co., and is surrounded by a fertile, rol-
ling prairie that probably isnot excelled
for productiveness by any other section
of this justly. famousi state: This part
of the country has been settled for sew
eral years, the pioneers coming here
twenty years ago.
Excepting along the lakes and streams
the country was devoid of timber, but
groves that have been planted, beautify
the rolling landscape, and hide many
pleasant homes in a tangle of living
green.
These artificial groves are composed
of cottonwood, boxelder, soft maple,
elm, willow and other varieties. Otter
farm buildings are surrounded with
several acres of trees that seem to show
all the thrift of timbered country.
These groves are characteristic of Min
nesota and leads one to the conclusion
that the people are plesed and satisfied
with the country, and are building for
themselves beautiful homes.
While the principal crop is wheat,
fax. oats and barley are just as sure,
and the excellent fields of corn testify
that we are still within the corn belt.
Timothy and cloveroare staple crops,
and are profitable for this as we'll as for
hay. Vegetables and small fruits are
raised here in abundance, and across
the lawn comes the hum of bees that
are busily engaged in manufacturing
some Of the whitest and most delicious
honey that we ever saw This apiary
is owned by Mr.sAlbert Waldron and he
is making o success of this business that
is generally supposed to belong to more
southerly latitude.

The bondsmen Of the defaulting State
treasurer of Maryland have practically served
notice on the State that they will not pay
the bond except at the end of law suit.
They expect to escape liability by
pleading the neglect of the Governor to com
ply with the law Of the State which makes
it his duty to examine the books of the
treasurer twice year. The Governor ad-
mits that he did not obey this law, and that
the books Of the treasurer were not ex-
amined. 1t looks very much as if the bonds
men had a pretty substantial defence At
any rate they have got material enough for
big fight
