The matter was dropped there and
the question of placing Mime apolls

Man never cries unless he is hurt.
He may wrinkle his features as sort of
a bluff, but he never emitS full-groWn
howl of pain unless he has been touched
in tender place. AS with his body, so
with his mind and conscience. Call a
man liar. If he be a truthteller it will
not anger him overmuch. If he be a
liar the chances are that he will lead

forcibly reminded of this one evening
during the past week. Since the
GLOBE published the facts regarding
the worthless life preServers carried on
some of the small boats at Minnetonka
which, facts, by the way, have never
been successfully diSputed-it has been
rumOred that the owners of those boats
were not particularly friendly to this
paper or its representatives. Some
thing occurred at the lake on this day
spoken of last week which necessitated
the sending of a man out there. Az
irving at Minnetonka beach he found
that he must cross the lake, and in a
steamer too, as there was too little time
at his disposal to allow of rOwbOat
being used. A launch named the Virgie
was the only steam vessel at the dock,
and bargain was struck with the en-
giueer, who was imbibing liquid COM
fort at the pavilion, but, before leaving
the dock, the GLOBE man, having for
gotten for the moment the prejudice
against his paper, in answer to the boat
mans question, said that he came
from the GLOBE. That settled it. The

but under the soothing influence of an
other bright 25-cent piece, changed his
mind. Even q Minnetonka boatman's

application of silver. Not so his pro
