A Repentant Lovers Awful mistake,

Archibald Augustus barrow stood
gloomily in the dock, the wreck of a
well dressed man about town, and when
it came time to make excuses for his woe
he said:
Your honor, am the victim of an
other mans mistake. A few days ago !
was the happiest of men. Fortune and
love both smiled. Iwooed and won one
of the city's fairest but most exacting
maids. Then was persuaded to take
part i'll the Circus Maximus festivity as
Demetrius Propulsius, one of the myr-
millones.
THE rehearsal for my exacting and
heroic role took all my time. l neglected
my lady love until l grew fearsome of
my fate. Then l said to myself, Il will
make amends So sought florist.
Make the most beautiful floral offer
ing your taste and skill can arrange ]
said.
What shall it beT' he asked.
oh, anything. But make it large
and fine and send it to this number.
With this gave him the location of nv
lady's home.
That night stole a moment from re-
hearsal to seek my sweetheart's bower
and ascertain how my gift had been re-
ceived. Her mother, frowning, stern
and awful, met me ut the door. Point
ing with dramatic finger to the parlor
table, she said:
What is this insult heaped upon Your
neglect' Go, base ingrate! Go, and
never return.
II looked in the direction indicated by
her finger, and there upon the table, full
in the glare of the chandelier, was an
enormous floral pillow, on which was
embossed in flaming marigolds the one
word Rest fed the house, and since
that time haven't known whether
was myrmillo or n mousetrap."-San
Francisco Examiner.

Reasonable Living mt the Fair.

While so many people are hesitating
over visit to the Worlds fair on ac-
count of the expense, the testimony of
tolerably experienced and sagacious man
OF this city may help some TO make up
their minds. He went with his wife and
spent something over week at the fair,
paving out about $50 besidesrailway fare.
The hotel where they had expected to
stop was so recently finished that the
plaster was still damp, and they wisely
declined to sleep there They had no
trouble in getting suitable quarters, pay
ing $3.50 a day for large double cham
Der with a bathroom attached. They
took their meals at a restaurant and
found the prices about the same as at the
most expensive of the restaurants III this
city. For 90 cents one could get fair
meal. Their midday meal they took at
the fair grounds, where the prices were
higher, but not eytortionate. In the
opinion of this visitor there is no reason
why any one should fail to get comfort
able accommodations as easily and as
cheaply as in other large cities. He gave
enthusiastic pictures of the fair. and es-
pecially of the German and French ex-
hibits, the unity and skillful arrange
ment of which contrasted singularly
with the go-as-you-pleasem methods of the
English.-Springfield Republican.

The hailsto m of Saturday last was
very de- uctive east and north of
this village. G. E. Cross, on the
Minnesota Agricultural Co. farm in
the town of Hodges, is the heaviest
loser as far as we can learn-300 acres
of oats, 40 acres of wheat and leo
acres Of No. flax. This is a total
loss, as the grain was uncut at the
time OF the storm. He also lost a
fine yearling colt, which was killed by
the hal. It is estimated that the
loss on grain 4 the shock is fully so
per cent. of the entire crop.
