Thy long spear leveled at the unseen foe.
And doubtful Sancho trudging at thy back,
Thou vert figure strange enough. good lack!

Alas! poor Knight Alas! poor soul possest!

Romance in Real Life.

An unusual and touching incident oc-
CURED at Indianapolis. March 81. Twenty
five years ago John Adams and family re-
sided in Jennings County. Mrs. Mary
Adams being his second wife. For some
reason never understood Mrs. Adams poi
soned her husband. and upon conviction
was sentenced to life Imprisonment in the
reformatory. Emma. child less than five
years of age, was adopted by we'll do
family, and she shortly afterward went with
them to Missouri and is now the wife of a
prosperous business man of st. Louis.
The cause of her fathers death and her
mothers Imprisonment were kept from her.
and she supposed both were dead. On Fri
day she returned to Jennings County to at
tend the funeral of relative and when she
reached the graveyard she expressed wish
to see the grave of her mother. For the
first time she was told that her mother was
an inmate of the female prison here. This
evening she visited the prison and made
herself known to her mother. now bent with
age and showing the effects of her long con-
inement. Mrs. Adams saw no resemblance
between the tall. we'll formed woman be-
fore her and the child from whom she had
been separated quarter of a century ago.

Don't you know me?"
For moment the prisoner stood as one
trying to recall the babyhOOd of the woman
before her. and then with wild cry she
rushed into her anxious daughters out
stretched arms. The superintendent and
attendants retired and left the long sepa-
rated mother and daughter alone. What
passed between them is unknown. but sew
eral hours later the daughter entered the
governors parlOrs with faltering steps. and
in tones tremulOus with emotion pleaded
for the pardon of her mother. The eXecu-
tive was deeply moved by the story. and
drew up and signed pardon in the daugh-
ter's presence. A messenger was dispatched
with the daughter to the prison and Mrs.
Adams was free. The governor and the
prison officials refuse to make known the
name of the St. Louis lady. as her husband
is we'll known business man. and the pub
lcation of his name would add nothing to
the SOPHISTICATED.

A Bridge Built by Red Ants.

The following remarkable story, told by
an eye witness, is entitled to place among
the instances of intelligence among the
to find his pastry shelves attacked by ants.
By careful watching it was discovered that
they came out twice day in search of food,
at about in the morning and in the
afternoon. How were the pies to be pro-
tected against the invaders?
He did not have long to wait. for at $50
o'clock he noticed that off in the left hand
corner of the pantry was line of ants
slowly making their way in the direction of
the pies. They seemed like vast army
coming forth to attack the enemy. In front
was leader, who was larger than any of the
others, and who always kept little ahead
of his troops.
They were of the sort known as the me-
dunn sized red ant. which is regarded as the
most intelligent of its kind, whose scientific
name is FOrmica rubra.
About 40 ants out of 500 stepped out and
joined the leader. The general and his aids
held council and then proceeded to eX-
anime the circle of mOlaSses. Certain pOr-
tiOns of it seemed to be assigned to the diff
ferent ants and each selected unerringly
the point in the section under his charge
where the stream of mOlasSes was narrow
est. Then the leader made his tour of in
spectiOn.
The order to march was given, and the
ants all made their way to hole in the
wall in which the plastering was loose.
Here they broke rank and set about carry
ing pieces of plaster to the place in the mo-
lasses which had been agreed upon as the
narrowest. To and fro they went from the
nail hole to the molasses until, at 11:30
o'clock. they had thrown a bridge across
They then formed themselves in line and
marched over, and by 11:45 every ant was
eating pie.-Chicago Tribune

The late Chief Justice Chase once said:
1.-The wicked men are not in the penitenti-
ary. they are in the churches The crimi-
nails we convict are not wicked. they are
simply weak-weak in character-and weak
in intellect. The men from whom society
suffers are the cold. selfish. calculating
creatures who not only keep clear of the
courts but seek the churches. and deceive
others as they deceive themselves and hope
to deceive the Almighty" We think there
are but few such men in the churches, but
we are free to admit that the few who are
have the greatest opportunities for evil

In Pioneer Times.

When Gov. Ramsey arrived here in 1S49
to organize the Territory of Minnesota,
there were no suitable accommodations for
his family in St. Paul, and so he became
the guest of Gen. Sibley at Mendoza.
While there the General proposed visit
to the fort and call on Mai. Woods, the
commanding officer. On reaching Woods
quarters the party was received with great
cOrdiality. and it was not long before all
felt at home and we'll acquainted.
The post commander. remembering that
the Executive of State on his arrival at
any military post within his bailiwick was
entitled to salute and review of the
troops. asked the Governor if he should fire
a salute.
At that time he had not been Secretary of
War. and knew precious little about military
affairs. and did not wish to become involved
lar. His reply was:
mo. thank you, do not care for it,"
Twill you review the trOOps?" queried
the commander.
mo; do not care about that. either"
''1hen can do anything to show you my
respect and appreciatiOn?"
'Yes," replied the Governor, ''if you
have any hard cider l will join you in
glass;"
1t is needless to say that the old brown
jug was brought forth, filled with cider
made from corn instead of apples. After
sampling it the Governor remarked:
lit is fully as good as our Pennsylvania
cider, which we make out of rye."-R. w.
Johnson. in st. Paul Daily News.

Tomorrow the Exposition Must
Be Ready for the Public.
Toa person who is inclined 10 be of
nature other than energetic, it would be
an excellent tonic for him to make
visit to the exposition building, where
he could gain little enthusiasm by OBJ
serving the amount Of life and energy
which was going on around him. To see
the wOrkmen busying themselves with
the different labOrs to which they have
been assigned is indeed a sight to see.
In their haste to get everything in the
proper shape for the day of the open
ing. Aug. 26, each man is doing every
thing that he can, and the hum of
voices. giving instructions and discuss
ing appearances. makes the place seem
like yeritable beehive. The tapping
of countless hammers and the sound of
ripping saws fills the air with melody
sweet to the ear of those who are inter-
ested in the progress of the work.
To person who is not familiar with
the work of preparing such gigantic
enterprise for the edifcation of the
public. the multitudinous medley Of
sounds seems chaotic, while to the eX-
perienced everything is understood. 10
see the piles of material ready to be put
together, the ordinary man thinks that
it is all a muddle. But let him watch
the men for a short time. He will see
quickly that each piece has place as
signed tOit, and that the men know
Just where to put each one. They work
quickly and deity, and he can see the
miniature buildings as they grow be-
| fore his ewes.

Osborne's shortage would reach
81, 800, 900. Mr.. Hayden and his col
league. George II. Brewster. were seen
at the NicolIet last night and both posi-
lively denied having given any such in
timation. Mr.. Brewster expressed him
self as follows: 1.-THE story is absolutely
false and without foundation, and you
may so state on my authority. We are
still at work on Mr.. Osborne's books.
and at this time are positively unable to
say whether there is any shortage or
not. That is something which cannot be
ascertained at Once,as any one with any
knowledge of bookkeeping knows. We
will be at work here for several days
longer. Even when we have finished,
our reports will not be complete until
they have been verified at headquarters.
As to a shortage OF million and half,
l will say that there is no possible way
in which it could reach One-tenth of
that amount. We are now checking up
this months business, and if it is found
to be all right we will probably not go
back of that.

BACK FROM IRELAND.
Roger Vail Is Once More in the
City of Minneapolis.

Roger Vail returned from his Euro
pean trip on Saturday, and looks the
very picture of health. he has parted
with his side whiskers, and instead
wears chin beard. Although he says
he enjoyed this trip more than any he
ever took before. he is heartily pleased
TO be back III Minneapolis. Roger is
fall to the brim of information about
ireland. The people there, he says, are
not so poor as he imagined them. He
saw more actual want inChicagO andNew
York than Ireland. The Irish farmer is
doing well now, he says. His greatest
trouble comes from having too many
sons. The eldest gets the farm. The
others have no interest in working the
farm, so they stand around and talk
politics. They are the boys who support
Parnell. Mr.. Vail is of opinion that
Parnell will soon drop completely out
of sight. HIS marriage has injured him.
The English church doesn't sanction a
marriage like his. He is looked upon
as living in open adultery with Mrs.
O'Shea, she being divorced woman.
Further. their marriage is looked upon
as an admission of guilt. Roger says
the Irish will vote with Gladstone and
the Liberals. He doesn't see the need
of sending money to Ireland now. The
people don't need it.

The Public Librarian Returns
From a Search for Books.

Herbert L. Putnam, the public librar-

months trip through the East. Mr..
Putnam has been on a book pilgrimage.
Nearly all of his time has been spent in
the book stores in New York and Bos-

securing old and valuable volumes. He
does not want to say much about the
accomplishments of the trip until after
the meeting of the library board next

what he has done The board of trus-
