newspaper writer's to harp ON the lnh uman-
lily OF woman to woman. and so many m can
things have been said about the sex that it
fills my soul with Joy whenever 1 see one
woman do something especially kind TO an
other. It's rare sight, admit, but one does
occasionally see it. 1t happened on a Fourth
street car yesterday. There wasn't spa are
seat or strap and a woman with baby,
four bundles, shopping bag. and goodness
knows what other luggage, climbed on. The
fact that she had her baby's bonnet tied on

who could have glorious good time at the
risk OF smashing her nose or breaking some
of her ribs. She never likes fun that will

bruised and hammered out of all semblance
to good looks. One Of the st. Paul BOYS at

The printing of music in the Northwest is
a new thing. One is so used to seeing the
name of some Eastern publis hing house on
every piece of music that a sheet hardly
seems complete without. Among the latest
musical compositions is an anthem COM
posed by j. Lewis Browne. and published by
the Century Piano company, of Minneapolis
1t is arranged as a quartette, and the words

Many queer things come under the obserya-
lions OF officials and lawyers in the admins
tration Of the law. Hon W p Murray re-
lates that he inspected unique constable's
return yesterday. 1t was an execution issued
the ordinary way, but the constable returned
unsatisfied, and he wrote across it as the rea-
