mer cause somewhat or a cessation III
the round of summer gaiteS at White
Bear. The entire colony of lake people
are busily engaged in seeing how lazy
they can be, and hammocks and like in
dolent luXuries are greatly i'll demand.
Mahtomedi just now presents the live
Hest picture. There is an atmosphere
of sociability and uncOnventionality
about society at Mahtomedi which gives
it very decided individuality. Large
bOnfires cast pleasant glow over the
groups of jolly cottagers, as every even
ing they gather to sing songs and play
games. Dancing is unknown except in
the seclusion of some private cot
tage, bat the people at Mahto-
medl seem TO have the jOllieSt
times of any of the lake people.
little Incident occurred few nights ago
at Mahtomedi which convulSed the en-
tire population, and they are still Smil-
ing at the recollection. Tramps have
been quite numerous of late, and some
of the people have felt a little uneasy
after dark. While the boys one even
ing were talking over the possibility OF
some one being. waylaid by trampS.
Perry HOughtOn and Iiliie Sander, two
StalWart youths, quite proficient Ill the
manly art, were asked what they would
do in case they should be met some
dark night by highwaymeD and ordered
to throw up their hands. The boys eX-
pressed themselves very positively TO
the effect that the tramp who dared to
attack them would BIZ dealt with very
roughly; so far from being afraid of
meeting tramps, they would rather
like to have little encounter.
A night or two after the boys
were returning from the city, about
midnight. The road leading from the
depot was dark and lonely, and, just as
they were in most secluded spot. two
men sprang out before them, and, firing
off a revolver, ordered them to throw up
their hands. Did the boys make wild
rush for the highwaymen and literally
wipe the earth with them? Not at all.
Up went their hands in second, and
they implored the robbers to take what
they had. The highwaymen went
through the boys and let them go. They
ran TO the hotel, and, with blanched
eOuntenance and bated breath. an
nounced that they had been robbed,
Imagine their feelings when they were
net by Will Murray and George Miller,
two of their friends, who presented
them with their stolen property and in
troduced themselves as the highway
men. The most acute ear has not since
detected a whisper from Percy and
Tillie as to what they would do in case
they were waylaid by highwaymen.
In addition to the regular Tuesday
and Friday night hops at Ramaley's,
which were as usual well attended, the
pavilion on Monday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings presented the at
traction of Prof. f. w. Mullins "Trip
Around the World" as shown by me
chanicaI and dissolving views, which
deserved much better patronage than
they received. The views were beauti-
full in themselves and splendidly gwen.
+ The music lovers at the lake will be
treated to concert at the pavilion
Wednesday evening. The Sappho quar-
tette, of Minneapolis, assisted by Oscar
Lienau and Eugene Kauetfer, will be
the attractions.
Wednesday evening the lake was
treated to the most sudden SQuall that
has ever visited it, Some dark clouds
were banked up in the north, but were
not very ominous, when suddenly,
without any warning, the trees bent be-
fore furious gale, and the lake became
black as ink. The boats at Ramaley'S
had the sails up, and the sailors jumped
to let down the sails the instant the
squall struck them, but before anything
could be done the Queen Emma's sail
was in the water, anG she escaped cap
sizing by hairs breadth. The Olena
was thrown almost on top of the dock.
while out on the lake the Shadow and
Undine, with peaks dropped and boOms
raised, sought the shelter of the island.
By good luck no accident occurred, but

Notes.
On Friday evening gay party of young
people broke one of the unwrItten laws OF
Mahtomedi by having dance in the parlors
of the hotel. 1t was a surprise party, and
more sstounded set of people than the staid
puritanical Mahtomedi jewellers can hardly
be imagined whom the young people calmly
entered the hotel and began to dance. How
ever, a very pleasant evening was enjoved
and the novelty added decided zest to the
entertainment
sheet and pillow case party was the at
traction, all the guests being Enthusiastically ar
rayed in these ghostly garments, and danced
and prOmenaded around until the costumes
were so warm that they were thrown aside,
and the rest of the evening spent in more
comfortable il less novel attire.
