arm.
Pretty? Well, 1 should say so. Soft,
fluffy, blonde bangs, demure mouth
and meek, luminous eyes that just looked
fellow through and through and melted
him with their appealing glances.

Grimm's chair came down from its
tilt with bang.
"He-who?"
1.-THE gentleman across the way. He
said you never helped poor, struggle g
woman, or gave a mite to the widow and
the orphan"
Jim Smike said that, did he? What
else did lie say, my dear?"
Grimm was becoming affectionate.
'He said you were an old curmudgeon,
and that you never bought book and
took it home to your family, and that he
didn't believe your family could read,
anyway"
"The old wretch!''
And he said-but perhaps ought not

that was why you would never buy any

''Ha! he said that, did he? And how
many copies of your book did he take

Put me down for two copies, and go

The young woman with the appealing
eyes went away and at noon Grimm and
Smike met at the elevator. Each glared
at the other.

'I'm too stingy to buy book, am l ?"
Grimm stared.
"And my family can't read, hey?"
''Stopr cried Grimm, Oh whom a

she told me you said of me-"

HARD TIMES ARE GONE

We have passed through four
years of hard times, but this is the
beginning of the end. People who
held real estate have been under
the bottom, but now they are CONS
ing to the top. Now is the time to
buy. whether for a home, for an in.
vestment or for speculation. Prices
are far below what they were four
years ago, and yet they will SOON
be higher. The boom was caused
by the anticipation of what we ex-
pected. But our widest hopes nev-.
er pictured what we have now, and
this must soon cause another rise
in values. Every cent that has
been expended on this city since
1885 has increased the intrinsic
value of property here. and it is
really worth more now than we
expected it to be worth when we
paid the prices Of 1887 for it. We,
who have stayed here and seen it
offered for sale with no buyers be-
cause everybody was hard up, do
not realize what our property is
now worth. 1t takes outsiders, to
whom our grand improvements are
not all everyday sight, to open our
eyes to its true value. The last two
weeks have somewhat enIightene d
us, and transfers are increasing.
OF course they will increase slowly,
bat before you know it somebody
else will have made the money. On
the strength Of the editorial con-
ventiOM considerable number Of
sales have been made, and you will
see many more before autumn.
But we are still holding down our
prices, and will let you in on the
ground floor. with no one in the
cellar below you. We have the very
best property in all desirable di-
rectiOns, and some in others. But
you can have it. all the same, if
you will pay low enough price for
it. We will not sell anything not
cheap. We will let you have choice
residence lots, in easy reach Of
business at South St. Paul, for $3.50
to $500. These are worth $500 to
$1,000, but we want to get them
built on. See our beautiful lot ON
Summit avenue, near Macales-
ter. so by 21O feet, for $1,000.
You can also get fine lots cheap
at st. Anthony Park. Como,
Brayton's Addition, and various
other places; and we have about
200 acres Of very rich Farming
Land, conveniently located, which
we will sell in five and ten-acre lots
for market gardens.

the purpose of taking into a benevolent,
working patriotic association all the
members of a soldiers family. While
the &. A. r. excludes women and the
Woman's Relief co ps excludes men,
the Ladies of the q. \. Il. make both
eligible. admitting a soldiers mother,
widow, wife, sister or daughter, and all
eX-SoldierS and marines. This is the
fifth year of its national organization.
Its total membership is between $1,000
and 10000 and the president states that
260 new circles have been chartered
during the past year.

ON LEGISLATION.
The Encampment and Ex-Prison-
ers Want Some.

DETROIT, Aug. 6.-Past Commander
in-Chief William Warner, chairman of
the committee on address of the COM
mander-in-chief, reported resolutions,
which were adopted, petitioning con-
gress for legislation providing for the
custody and care of Mount McGregOr
cottage and for amendments to the re-
vised statutes providing more explicitly
that preference be given old soldiers in
government appointments and employ
ment.
Some sensation has been created by
the address of the president of the Ma
tiOnal Association of Union eX-PriSOnerS
of War. Z. IL. Williams. of Indiana. Re-
ferring to the treatment accorded the
eX-prisoners, the president says:
LAS an organization. and in view of
the great and peculiar hardship and
suffering endured as prisoners, we be-
iieve special compensation is due us.
Many, when captured, were robbed of
what little earnings we had saved
from the small compensation allowed
10y the government, as well as other
Valuables taken from them. Many
were held long months after their term
of service had expired, while others
were compelled to spend their own
means in order to get home after their
release, all of which ought TO be valid
claims against the government. For
number of years bills nave been pre-
scented to congress looking to such
measures as we felt were due us. But
so far all our appeals have availed.us
nothing. 1t would seem that the Suf-
fering and death of 1900 of our COM
rades who are buried around the South
ern prisons should ever be kept sacred
in memory of what they suffered for
their country, for by the sacrifice of
such men civilization survives. Around
the names of AndeTsonyille, Flor
ence and other prisons will ever
lingGr the memory of misery and suffer
ing which has no parallel in history.
Yet for twenty-five years our govern
ment has never as much as given US a
vote of thanks for the sacrifice made"
This portion of the presidents address
was formally approved by the aSsOcla-
ton
Among the reports of committees
made was one embodying bill to be
presented at the next session of con-
gresS in behalf of the soldiers who were
in prison for period of not less than
sixty days or more, providing that they
shall receive 8 for every day of theiI
| confinement from the government. The
new officers of the organization are as
follows: President, Stephen V. Long,
of East Orange, n. j.; vice-president,
| Maj. Marion 4. Anderson, of the Dis
trict of Columbia; chaplain. John S.
| Ferguson, Keokuk. To-; historian, War

DETROIT, Aug. 6.-After the reading
of the above reports, w. S. Decker, Col
orado, defended his minority report. Il

soldier has right to all the privileges
that are accorded to every white SOL
der in the G. \. R. This is not draw

O'Donnell, of Illinois. II am opposed
to this minority report, but insist that
we have fair play here"
''If there is is any more of that from
the galleries they will be cleared" said
the presiding officer.

do not settle this question now, it will
be here a year from now, and il will be

find them in Louisiana, Mississippi,

posts of the South. for Gods sake keep
them together. But if they connOt, de-
wise some means by which the colored
men who fought for the Union can
come in and have all the privileges"
Comrades" said Maj. Warner, "when
these black men. or whatever color or
nationality they may have been, Shout
dered the muSket IN defense of the
Union. it was not question Of etiquette
or of sociability, but it was question
of patriotism and loyalty. The black
man fought for flag that never. up to
that time, had protected him in any
thing but bondage. This organization
had better bury the old flag, comrades
had better tear the buttons from the T
breasts, than now. as our heads are sill
vering over with the froSIsOf years, to
90 back on the principles for which we
bltd."
Comrade Johnson, a colOred member
from Washington, and Richie, another
cOlored member, Past COmmander-in-
Chief Farchild, of Wisconsin, and
Northcott. of Virginia, spoke in favor
of the majority report.
Mr.. Graham, OF Louisiana, recOunted
some of the troubles of his department.
He said that no cOlored post had been
recognized until recently. when char
tiers were granted by the department
commander, who became offended be-
cause members of the order refused to
attend the funeral of Jeff Davis; that
several hundred men had been admitted
within few days, and the time was too
short to make any examination into
their military record or character.
After heated and extended debate, by
viva Yoce vote the majority report was
finally overwhelmingly adopted.

marck will be called upon to explain his
recent letter addressed to Russian in
St. Petersburg criticsing the triple
alliance, the visit of ex-Empress Fred
erick to Paris, etc., and condemning
the kaiser's visit to England. As re-
tired officer of the army, Prince Bis
marck can be called to account in a
more summary way than if he was a
civilian only. 1t is said that high
authorities at Berlin have pronounced
the published letter to be disloyal in
tone, and calculated to breed discomfort
toward the government.
