The following Endorsement explains
itself. This will truly be one of the
most interesting and instructive ex.
hibits of the state. The flowers will
be shown in herbariums and also in
water colors where possible. They
will be arranged upon sheets, showing
the leaf, bud, blossom and seed vessel,
and the margin will be decorated
with border made up from the flow
er in the center of the sheet. This
will give students an idea of our Flo.
"a, and also be of much interest to
decorators. Circulars have been sent
out through the state asking for these
floral! contributions, and there is not
doubt that the returns will be am.
pie for fine exhibit.
To the Superiratendents and Teachers Of
Minnesota:
1t has been decided by the ladies OF
Minnesota to prepare for the World IS
Columbian Exposition a complete ex-
hibit of the flora of Minnesota Mrs.
L. P. Hunt is in charge of this part
of the state exhibit and will by circu.
lar and otherwise inform the public
of the plans decided upon for the col.
lection of specimens.
/ wish to specially commend this
plan and bespeak for the ladies a cor.
dial cooperation of the superintend.
ents and teachers of the state. AS
you know of those who love flowers
and have given some attentio to
them, be sure to make them known
either to the general or board super
intendent. Learn from the instruc.
tions how you can best assist and
offer your own service. Then, too,
interest the children of your schools
in gathering flowers and presenting
them for the use of the committee. ]
hope that the valuable support rem
dered these ladies will caues them to
remember with high appreciation the
schools and teachers of Minnesota,

Weeping Trees.

Travellers in Washington and Brit
ish Columbia frequently tell of seeing
trees dripping with moisture when
neither rain nor dew were present.
The strange sight is said to be due to
the remarkable condensing power of
the leaves of some of the fir trees,
which, when the humidity of the at
mosphere closely approaches the dew
point, collect the moisture from the
air until the drops fall to the ground,
giving the tree the appearance of
weeping. The same phenomenon is
said to be met with in different species
of trees in Guinea and the Ferra is
lands.-Philadelphia Ledger.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1892-07-08

Montana is the largest of the newly
admitted states; in fact, it is as large
rs Washington and North Dakota
combined. 1t is one-sixth larger than
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland. 1t is the third state in
the sisterhood, ranking next after
Texas and California It contains
143, 776 square miles, and is therefore
the size of the states of New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia all
rolled together. 1t is about $40 miles
in length and half as wide. AS it is
approached from the east it seems to
be continuation of the bunch grass
plainsland which makes up all of
North Dakota.
But almost all at once upon enter
ing Montana the monotony of the
great plateau is relieved by its dis
turbance into hills, which grow more
and more numerous, and take on
greater and greater bulk and height,
until when one-third of the state has
been passed the earth is all distorted
with mountains and mountain spurs.
These are the forerunners of the
Rockies, which, speaking roughly,
make up the final or western third
of this grand and imperial new state.

A Pretty Story.


It was Archie Coles wedding day.
From boyhood he had been late at
school, late at church, late at meals,
late everywhere. 'Tll wager" said
his brother John, laughing, "that
you can't be first even to kiss your
bride at the weddingr' "Oh, I'll not
be late then" said Archie.
Two hours later Archie stood with
the pretty maiden by the flowers in
the parlor of her home. The guests
were seated. The minister rose.
Arches failing and Johns predic-
ton were known to them all. Never
theless Archie knew he should not be
late now, for his dear old mother
had made all the guests promise not
to precede him in kissing the bride.
The solemn vows were said softly,
and the fervent prayer was spoken
slowly, while robin could be heard
singing on the lawn.
"Anaen," said the minister.
Archie bowed to kiss his bride; but
he paused for an instant, he smiled,
he blushed. A sunbeam stealing
through rift in the heavy curtains
was trembling gently on the brides
lips.
''I've won the bet!" cried John.
The guests laughed, and the
preacher, too. while the victorious
sunbeam danced on the hyacinths
and Glies.-Youth's Companion.

Chameleons When Angry Become Dark.
The instructive habits of the cha
meleon were displayed even in a
tiny creature which | picked off a
pomegranate tree. 1t opened its
mouth and Kissed to the extent of its
capacity, and when l inserted my
finger in it's wee but wide open mouth
it bit with a force astonishing in
such mite, and it was able to pro-
duce some slight indentation with its
minute teeth and feeble jaws. 1t
also became Immediately darker, but
not black like the grown up speci-
MEMS
Otherwise it only einits the Kissing
sound, which, however, is not true
hiss, but more like the sound pro-
duced by the expulsion of our breath
with the tongue against the teeth.
At night it changed its color,
growing gradually paler as the day
closed, and becoming almost white
as the darkness set in. If disturbed
or touched it Immediately became
dark, and thus remained until its an
ger subsided.-Cor. Forest and
Stream.

the car and convinced him that there
was no money aboard. They then
took the engineer, fireman and mes
senger and made them walk ahead of
them to the farm crossing at the top
of the hill and then sent them back
to the train. There weretwo shots
| fired,-one at my head brakeman who
was on his way to the engine, and the
other was fred back beside the train
on the appearance of light back
along the train somewhere. No one
who saw them can give much of de-
scription of them. One was a large
man and the other good sized man.
Both wore long masks that covered
their faces and hung down on their
breasts.
Superintendent Spencer was noti-
fed 'of the attempted robbery as soon
as the train reached Mankato, and he
telegraphed the different stations on
the road to be on the lookout for the
men. The officers of Blue Earth ard
Nicollet counties and Mankato were
notified, but as there is no description
Of the men little or nothing can be
done. The officers are doing what
they can with the meager informa-
tion at hand.
The train was held up forabout flf-
teen minutes, it is estimated. The
robbers are believed by Superintend-
ent Spencer to be toughs from Mime
apolis, and there are suspicious that
they are the same ones that robbed
the farmer of $3.50 at Kasota Thurs
day evening. Mr.. Spencer has offered
reward of 81, 900 for their capture.
A tramp who was on the train says
that there were four robbers in all,
but only two were directly engaged
in the work. The others might have
been prepared to defend their COM
rades in case of attack from the other
cars, or might have been hidden in
the brush with horses for their es-
cape.
Messenger Kennydy's run is between
Minneapolis and Council Bluffs, This
is one of the most important routes in
the Northwest, and very frequently
sums of money varying from SIS, 900 to
$4,000 are carried. The amount ia
ken last night was unusually light.
The American Express Co. endeavors
to ship the most Of it's money on the
day trains.
Mr.. Kennedy displayed rare pluck
and presence of mind under the try
ing circumstances and is certainly de-
serving of reward
This is the first attempt at train
robbery ever made upon this division
of the Omaha road. Mr.. Spencer has
left nothing undone looking toward
the capture of the villains.
The place where the train was stop
ped is about nine miles north of the
city and it is at a switch used by
freight trains. Night passenger
trains never stop there.
A number of suspicious looking
characters were to be seen on our
streets today, mostly tramps.
