sons loss. AL standard policies in
Minnesota provide that if building,
or any part thereof. fails to the ground
from any cause, save fire, the policies
shall be forfeited. If this clause can
be upheld in the courts, Mr.. Thompson
must look to G. w. Van Dusen & Co.
for his loss. 1t is said in this connec-
ton that the annex had been regarded
as unsafe for several weeks, and had
been cracking and giving way for
couple of days. If this is true, Mr..
Thompson's claim against the elevator
people would seem to be strengthened.
G.. w. Van Dusen & Co. have their in
surance placed with a great many agen-
cies in Minneapolis. 1t is issued on
what insurance men call the average
plan. That is. the wheat in the col
lapsed elevator, in its neighbor and in
the main elevator is all insured together
and in order to arrive at last the loss an
account of this stock must be taken and
the loss averaged and divided on the
per cent of loss to the total value among
the different companies.

not own the annex which fell in, but
they lease it from Cook & Maxey. This

THE LONG-BEARD FRATERNITY

A Queer Bond of sympathy Between Men
80. ST. VINO Are Strangers.
A social philosopher in the Boston
Transcript says that there is kind of
freemasonry in boards. A man with a
long beard always makes the acquaint-
ance of other men with long boards.
Their boards are the only common
friend they need; and no man with such
a beard will ever suspect any evil Of an
other man with a long beard. Thou
sands of dollars have been borrowed
with nothing but a beard for security.
The acquaintance generally begins in
the same way.
GA Cline day, SIR" says one long
bearded man to the other. They have
been glancing at each other for some
time in a friendly sort of way. The
other makes a casual reply about the
weather.
"Good weather for whiskers to grow"
says the first jocularly.
''That's fact" saysthe other; chow
long have yours been growing?'
''Just seventeen years last Thanks
giving"
'Wel, I beatyou by ayear and half. "
and from that time they get on famously.
This is as good a means of Introduction
as being very fat. Did you ever notice
how quickly two fat men get &C.
quainted, and from comparing weights
advance to all sorts of friendly conf
dences?

Thousands Of Dollars Expended Which

The mighty Caesar once asked, on see!
ing strangers in Rome fondle monkeys:
EDO the women OF your country bear
you no children, that you are compelled
to center your affections on those vile
creatures?' He was evidently disguised;
but then he had never become hard.

The First Book.

The first printed book was made on
Friday. August 18th, 1857, or thirty five
years prior to the discovery Of America
by Columbus. Friday has the reputa-
tion of being An unlucky day, but in
this instance it was decidedly the re-
verse. for the publication of that book
was one of the most fortunate occur
rences the world has ever known. The
printing press has been the greatest
lever that ever moved the world to pro
gress and mental development, through
which civilization sh0ne forth in in
comparable splendor. However, the
printing press cannot claim all the hon
ors, for the railway has also been a
powerful factor SINCE it's inception, car
ry1ng the civilization created by the
book in the very heart Of wildernesses
where the book would have been I'M
able to penetrate. And it is because
the railway is such good thing that
we call your attention to the fact that
by taking the Saint Paul & Duluth
Railroad, which is the short line be-
tween St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth,
West Superior, Saltwater and Taylor's

Sewers Ordered to he Built.

Thus far the council has ordered o.
629 feet of sewers to be built next year.
Some of this work is in process now,
the property owners having advanced
the necessary funds rather than wait
until next year. A great many of the
sewers are short ones and they are
pretty well spread over the city. The
council meets on next WednesdaY
night at which public improvements
may be ordered, and it is expected that
perfect deluge of requests for sewers
will pour in. Among those proposed
are che following:
Universe y. Fourteenth avenue south :
east to Oak.
Delaware, Church to Harvard.

OId-Fogy Mexicans.

A recent traveller in Mexico says the
natives are unwilling to adopt modern
ways, and it is nearly impossible to
make them change. An Englishman en-
gagged in mining put up hosting plant
but found at once that it was money
thrown away, as the workmen would
not consent to it's use. They had long
been accustomed to carry the ore in
sacks supported by a broad canvass
band passing over their foreheaas, and
to receive so much for each sack deliv-
cred at the mouth Of the shaft. To get
it there an ascent of over two hundred
feet had to be made by means Of lad
ders, and accordingly progress was very
slow. But nothing would induce them
to use the hosting machinery, and It
had to be abandoned, every man work
ing in the old fashion.
