"Never throw stones at carter when
you are alone" said small Canadian
boy to the painter of his portrait whom
he had taken into his confidence. "You
must always have another boy with you
when yrn throw stones at a carter"
"Why?" because when the carter gets
down to run after you, then the other
boy can throw stones at the horse and
start him up, and the carter will be
obliged to leave you alone and go to take
care of his horse. Always have another
boy with you when you throw stones ats
carter. boston TRANSCRIPT

Historic Fort Smelling Burned.

Fire swept away the old military
quarters at Fort Smelling, near st. Paul,
leaving standing nothing but the gaunt
old walls Of stone. The fire is regretted,
as it removes the most beautiful and
picturesque structure in the western
country. The old fort stood on high
bluff overlooking the junction of the
Minnesota and the Mississippi and was
noted among tourists as one of the
loveliest spots in the West.

ceiver of the bank of Stevens & Co., of

closed on account of the suicide of the
mayor of Litchfield, who was an official
in the bank.
Beat His Wife with the Bible.
Mary L. Holcomb secured a divorce
in Minneapolis from her husband,
Charles II. Holcomb, for rather re-
markable reason. She testified that
Holcomb was God-fearing man and
they used to have devotional exercises,
in which he would read from large
family Bible. After the exercises were
over, however, he would use the mas
sive book as weapon offensive and
mauled the whole family with it, ber-
self preferred.

THE BOSTON STORE.
Christmas in Its Windows and Christ
mas Everywhere Inside.

Two children were disputing yesterday
afternoon about the respective merits OF
the Boston Stores Christmas windows
The curly-headed girl preferred the moss
grown castle with the knights and ladies
looking forth from it's doors and the beg
gar boy on it's steps receiving gracious
aims, while the roguish looking lad who
held her hand gave decided preference TO
the fairy queens midnight revel with the
birds and the beasts of the forest to do her
homage. These great display windows
block traffic on Westminster street, for
everybody stops TO admire them.
The interior of the store has the look OF
n great japanese bazaar. Gay lanterns
pended from the ceiling, and festoons OF
evergreens sway and swing and give out
fragrant odors rs one passes beneath
them. The holiday goods have been
marked down, though IL Is more than a
week before Christmas, and the low prices
at which the freshest and most desirable
things can be bought keep the great
house thronged all day.
The doll display OF course Is first in in
terest, at least to little maids and all their
relatives. There are dolls dressed and un-
dressed, jointed dolls and washable dolls,
bepe Juneau dolls and dolls with kid
bodies. There Is a perfect wilderness of
soldiers, cube blocks and sets of sheep and
tov banjos, violins and guitars.
For older people-Christmas being after
all as much FOR grown-up as for children
the art pottery holds out irresistible at
fractions. The statuary, the Royal Os-
borne and the Bonn ware Is going at
prices most delightfully."- low. The new
art gallery on the third floor has pastels
and artotypes and fine remarque proof
etchings to exhibit, framed most richly
and tastefully, while the piano and ban
quet lamps, the bon bon baskets, the toilet
sets, the silk cushions aud fancy work,
and the Christmas cards and souvenirs are
only few out of thousands of articles
that should have attention. The Boston
Store is an interesting place In these days.
Now IL the time to put In the preliminary
work for the spring campaign, which Is
close at hand. The first step 10 to register !;

UUncle Toms Cahin.n

Under the auspices of Red Cross Lodge,
K of p, the drama of Uncle Toms
Cabin " was presented last evening by
the Boston Ideal Company In Freedom
was not as large as the merits of the piece
demanded, but the various parts were well
taken and deserved better recognition
than they received. The lodge which was
TO receive a benefit from this entertain
ment is one which Is founded upon the
principle "To relieve the sick, succor the
unfortunate, bury the dead and take care
of the widows and orphans" A more
generous response to such noble calling
should have been given last evening.
