BEAUTY AND BRAINS
Combine in the Gathering of
Stenographers Last Evening.


Stenographers Last Evening.
The meeting Of the Stenographers'
business association at Van Ellemeet
hall last night was quite successful and
was highly enjoyed by the participants,
composed largely of intelligent young
men and accomplished young ladies.
Although but little more than a month
has passed since its organization, this
association has already accomplished
much goud. ami has apparently career
of large promise aud usefulness before
it. 1t now has more than sixty
members, including some of the
best aud most efficient of the
profession, of both sexes, in
the city, is thoroughly we'll organized
and disciplined. has snug sum in its
treasury and is constantly increasing in
strength and influence. Its declared
objects are all honorable and laudable,
but perhaps the element contributing
most to its strength and popularity is
the requirement. that every member
shall he thoroughly and completely
qualified in the profession. 1t is de-
signed that certificate of membership
in the association shall pass current and
be accepted by employers as full war
rant of the capability of the holder. The
social features of the organization add
largely to its interest and value and
cannot but contribute to its reputation.
The ASSOCIATION decided to give an en-
tertainment at Van Eilemeet hall, Seven
Corners, on Thursday, March I3.

Pat Harris has the reputation of beng
one of the fastest ticket sellers IN the
country, and when it comes to selling
circus tickets Pat is top of the heap all
right enough. He hired young fellow
as ticket seller for one of h thPaterS a
short time ago, and sat in the Office dur
ing matinee sale to see how the new
man handled himself. The lad didn't
seem very fast at the business, Pat
thought. There was big crowd walt
ing, anu with gesture of impatience
the champion cucus ticket seller told
the new man to stand aside, he
would take turn. Pat found
out at once that handling the
flimSy coupons was a different thing
from manipulating those stiff circus
tickets at 50 cents and 81 straight. 1t
wasn't three minutes until he had silver
scattered all over the floor of the Office,
and about twenty people kicking at
once for their change. Pat had lost
track of the 35-cent business entirely,
and in few minutes he gave it up with
the remark that circus wasn't theater
after all.

ANU Cuo FFiCe hIS0-btuS ASKED
for the Historical Work.
The commission appointed by the
legislature to prepare the Military His
tory of Minnesota during the late war
has decided to advertise for bids and
not have the work done under the
charge of the state printing commission.
At the session of this board yesterday
morning MIR. Smith. of the firm of
Harrison d Smith, the present job
printers of the state, presented himself
and demanded the job of printing the
history at the regular rates provided in
his bid. the opinion of Attorney
General Clapp was sought in the
matter, and his opinion was that if the
state printing commission handled the
work it would have to go TO Smith 81
Harrison at the regular rates. Owing
to the fact that this is higher than the
bids. and the further fact that the COM
mission is limited as to means, bids will
be advertised for and the work then let
to the lowest bidder, and the work will
then be published by direct contract
with the historical commission itself.

frame of the will and the nature of the
testamentary dispositions are in them

may be affected by his pre1udices and
predictions arising from his associa-

is OF sufficient testamentary capacity he
may nevertheless dispose of his prop
