minutes later the latter complimented
the former upon the correctness Of
his prediction that Whiskers' mar
rage was imminent.
HE didn't invite u.s." said the ex.
change editor: ''but then I suppose
the affair is to be very quiet one,
and we can't take offense at that.
The old mans not a bad lot, bv any
means Let's do something to please
him and to fatter his bride. What
do you say to raising fund to buy
them something in the name of the
staff"
"I'm in for it," said the editorial
writer, producing halt dollar.
They canvassed the Office and found
everybody willing to contribute. The
managing editor and the assistant
editor in chief had gone home, but as
they had shown kindness to Whiskers,
and were, in fact. the only two men
on the staff who knew anything about
his private affairs, the exchange edi-
tor took his chances and put in dol
lar for each of them.
"And now what shall we get-and
by the way, where shall we send it,"
asked the exchange editor.
mot to his lodging house certainly.
He'll probably be married at the res
idence of the brides parents as the
notices say. We'd better get it quick
and rush it up there, wherever that
is-somewhere uptown"
.But say" interposed the city edi-
tor, who was present at this consul
tation, ''maybe the ceremony has al
ready come of. 1 saw the old man
giving in notice for advertisement
across the counter at the business
office an hour ago.
"Well, we may be able to learn
from that where the bride lives, any
how, and some one can 60 there and
find out something definite about the
'happy pairs present and future
whereabouts" suggested the editor
ial writer.
''That's so," said the city editor.
'The notice is in the composing room
by this time. I'll run up and find it.
The city editor left the editorial
writer and the exchange editor alone
in their room, each sitting at his own
desk.
"What shall we get with this
money!" queried the former, touch
ing the bills and silver dumped upon
his desk.
Something to please the woman.
That'll give WHISPERS himself the
most pleasure. He evidently loves
her deeply. Those constant visits and
gifts speak the greatest DEVOTION"
''Of course, but what shall it be?"
The two were battling with this
question when the city editor re.
turned. He came in and said quietly;
81 found the notice. at least I
suppose this is it. What is the old
mans full name?"
''Horace W. Croydon"
''This is it them" said the city ed
itor." standing with his back to the
door. "'The notice reads: On March
3, at the Arlington Hospital for In.
curables, Rachel, widow of the late
Horace w. Croydon, ST., in her fifty
ninth year. Funeral services at the
residence of Charles"'-
why" interrupted the editorial
writer in a hushed voice, ''that is a
death notice."
'sHis mother" said the exchange
editor. ''The Hospital for Incurables!
that is where the flowers went"
The editorial writer's glance drop
ped to the desk, where lay the money
for the intended gift. The exchange
editor sat perfectly still, gazing
straight in front of him. The city
editor walked softly to the window
and looked Philadelphia Press.

A look Of enlightment. a blush, a
deep sigh, and an '40h, Pm not Of
Tended" were the only manifestations
made by Whiskers after the exchange
editors apology.
It was inferred from his manner
that he did not wish to make conf
dences or receive jests about his love
affairs.
A&ime came when Whiskers seemed
to have something on his mind. Not
content with one days vacation each
week, he would go off for periods OF
three or four hours on other days.

confirmation shortly afterward, when

From the Princeton Union.
1t took Senator Washburn about
fifteen minutes to get a resolution
through the U. S. senate which if
passed by the house would perfect the
title Of about 300 Mile Lacs settlers
to their claims. The senate is Repub-
lican. That resolution has been
hung up in the house for weeks and
in all probability it will hang there
to await the pleasure of the Northern
Pacific railroad company. The house
is Democratic by an overwhelming
majority. The Northern Pacific rail-
road corporation. has its paid tools in
the house and they are powerful
to prevent the passage Of the reso-
luton. We are not very strict
partisan, but it makes us tired to hear
men prate about the Democratic par.
ty being the party Of the people.

From Saturdays Daily,
An Evening Blaze.

Last evening about 9 O'Clock an
alarm of fire was turned in at the
city hall. The chemical engine, hook
and ladder truck and the hose carts
came out in good order and made q
speedy run to the school house where
the fire was supposed to be. Upon
ARRIVING at the building a white
smoke was issuing from the chimney
and the windows of the north l..
Ladders were placed at the second
story windows and the hose from
the chemical engine laid in. The seat
OF the fire could not seem to be loca-
ted and it was almost impossible to
remain in the room from the gasses
which filledit. No fire could be found
in the room and the door of a small
er room in the corner of the building
which is used by the high school as a
laboratory, was broken open and
this revealed the fire. Hand grenades

the flames, though not until the
water had been turned on contrary
to the chiefs orders and some dam
age done from this source. The
cause OF the fire was the spontaneous
burning of a stick OF phosphorus
which had been left when school
closed in dish of water. The water
had evaporated and of course the
phosphorus had burned of it's own
accord. The room had been locked
and the key in the hands of the jani-
tor. This part of the building had
not been used by the training school
now in session. The damage is slight,
not to exceed 1925.
An accident occurred while the
companies were making the run to
the fire. When in front of the court
house John Roch got in the way of
the hose carts and was knocked
down though not hurt to any extent,

The claims Of the Democrats that
they nave nominated a strong state
ticket are certainly very ridiculous, if
not unexpected. The names on that
ticket do not include any Of the old
leaders or popular party favorites,
and while an energetic campaign
may be made there is absolutely no
hope Of party success. The idea Of
running Dan Lawler against Knute
Nelson and H. II. Hawkins against
Dave Clough is enough to discourage
any Democrat. The Democratic
ticket will be beaten BY 81, COO votes

ticket will run ahead 1of the national

Brainerd Journal: A man whose
name we did not learn was quite
seriously hurt last Tuesday morning
a few miles above here. He was
driving a team and heavy wagon
down from the Cross Lake Logging
Co. 8 camps, and few miles above
here he stopped the team to fix the
harness: The team suddenly started
while he was at work, and threw
him under the wheels OF the wagon,
and one of the wheels passed over
his head. When he recovered con-
seriousness he was walking behind
the wagon, and had Travelled several
miles after the accident occurred, in an
unconscious condition. He soon
afterwards arrived in town, and his
friends took him to the Hospital,
where it was found that he was
quite seriously injured.

Attempted Suicide.
Z y 0 =
From St. Cloud Times.

FROM oU. ClOuu Times.
A very sad case of attempted
suicide, which will probably result
in the death of the person who
sought self-destruction, occurred in
this city today. Ida: May Wright,
niece OF Mr.. A. A. Wright, with whom
she made her home shot herself this
morning. She is still alive, but while
the attempt was not entirely
successful, there is little hope of her
recovery.
This morning May, as she was
called in the family, did not arise at
the usual hour, and as she had not
been feeling well since last Sum-
day, Mrs. Wright concluded not to
disturb her. About eleven O'Clock
she decided that she would call. the
girl and went upstairs to the room:
She raped, but their was no
response for some time when Mrs.
Wright though she heard moaning
sound. Frightened at this she broke
open the door and entered the rooms
To her horror she found the girl
lying on the bed in an unconscious
while beside herlay a small
target rifle and acouple of cartridges
only too plain evicence of what had
occurred. Drs. Stone and Beebe were
Immediately summoned and Mr..
Wright was notified. The physicians
succeed in bringing the girl back to
consciousness, but they do not
believe that she can survive the SELF
inflicted wound. She meant to shoot
herself, through the heart, but in thi
shefailed, as the bullet passed just
below almost through her body. She
held the weapon in such a manner
that the ball entered half an inch
below her heart and lodged in her
back just under the skin, near the
spine. The rifle she used was a
% caliber.
The girl hurt herself last Sunday
by falling from buggy and it is
thought to have unsettled her mind.

Carelessness is one Of the present
faults Of the Democratic papers of the
state. An article is going the rounds
under the capti"n Of "Minnesota's
Next Governor, but it contains no
reference to..the gentleman, Hon. .Knute
Nelson. In it many complimentary
things are said about q Mr.. Lawler,
of Ramsey county. While informa-
ton concerning him is certainly
necessary if he is to become generally
known, it is rather small trick to
deceive people into reading about
him when the heading Of the article
would clearly lead one to expect
something about Mr.. Nelson. Even
the mcst blinded Democratic partisan
does not seriously question Mr.. Mel
sons election, and the naming Of ar
unusually weak state ticket by th'
opposition has guaranteed him al
unpresented majority.

There, there, little Democrat, you
shall not be abused. 1t would be a
shame for any real newspaper to
jump ON such a parody on journal
ism as you are, and your threats to
call bluffs are quite amusing. OF
course, the Transcript man is Grant

disappointed to know that he will
have no attention from the Demo.
cratic party. There is a lurking fear,
causing chills and cold sweats, that
the said party is preparing to give
him decidedly more attention than
he cares for.
