II has been said that the Columbian
exposition of 1898 will be one of the
greatest educators of the people that
has ever arisen in this country. The
leading artists and artisans view with
great pride and satisfaction the work
of young Americans and predict for
sculpture and art glorious future in
the west. And they are undoubtedly
warranted in their predictions, as a
careful scrutiny of the products OF
American genius at the fair will prove.

Dangers OF Summer Resort Flirtatlon0
and rndisor;minnte 1ntroducttous.
Well qualified by years of intelligent
observation OF wide scope, enhanced
by special opportunities for seeing, a
very estimable woman-libcral minded,
ut that---of this city, gave utterance to
the following:
"For the month now at hand the
chief amusement, not to say occupa-
tion. of the young people Mt the sum
mer resorts will be flirting. Dancing
and driving, bathing and boating, GRO
quct and bowling, and cards-all these
will have their devotees and receiv G
due attention. but the business of the
season to which all these other cccu-
pations shall be subservient, is the old
new game of '>laying Mt love, forever
so pleasing and amusing. Now and
then perhaps, there will be a touch
of the real article-a genuine heart,
warm and living, among the imitation
hearts of ice, which may find it's
like, or thaw the ice, or, perhaps, be
itself frozen-who knows? Few men
care to marry the summer resort girl,
or. the girl they meet at the average
summer resort They see so much
froth that it makes them disbelieve in
the wine. SO much deception causes
doubt everywhere.
"on the other hand, men know to
what extent maneuvering mammas
lead their daughters, season after sea-
son, to the sacrifice. Matches made at
watering places are seldom sufe. and
guardians and parents will be wise to
keep IL watchful eve on their charges
and to inquire into the character and
antecedents of the nice young men,
whom ward or daughter scrapes ac-
quaintance with in the surf. The con-
venient code which provides that such
acquaintances are only for the season
allows much latitude, and often, very
married women or with single ones,
wise in the ways of the world. Gam
blers and fortune-hunters have no
cloven hoof which can not be hidden
by the conventional patent-lcather

dance or swim with any daughter, any
woman? Shall Mr. Smiths introduce
tion suffice for Mr.. Jones, when all
known of Mr.. Smith is that he wears a
good coat, boards at good hotel, and
drives Il pretty team. 1t might be con-
venient if the custom common among
some German peasants were intro
duced with US, the custom of Indicating
the dowry of each maiden by the
stripes on her bodice. But possibly
that is too much to ask of congress in
q land where heiresses are in the
minority. So the desiring young man
who wishes to endow a fortune with
his heart aud hand must take his
chances, and when the bitter is bit,
Mr.. and Mrs. Laminie have no cause to
complain if they do not receive much

TERROR AND TENDERFooT.
A Story of Cold Nerve Developed Undei
Stress of circumstances.


Gas general thing" said an old
forty-niner, "the tenderfoot wasn't in
it with the bad man of the mining
camp, and it wasn't natural to expect
that he should be, but occasionally
there did appear one who could more
than hold his own. I recall man
named Caleb Finby, who came to
Dream gulch in it's earlier days when
that region was full of bad men. He
was tall, spare young man with q
head full of brains and he was quick
and businesslilke in everything that he
did, but still he was not a man that
the generality of men would have
picked out as the possessor of nerve.
"Mr. Finby set out one day to go to
the neighboring camp Of Devils Claw
canyon. AS he was proceeding along
the road. he suddenly came upon, or,
rather, there came suddenly upon him,
a man who asked him to throw up his
hands. 1t was Big Bill Better, the ter
ror of DEVILS Claw canyon.
"I throw 'em up said Mr.. Finby,
cheerfully, as he raised them, because
you ask me to, and l don't want to
seem impolite. But ut the same time
must inform you that you are taking
an entirely unnecessary precaution;
my gun isn't loaded
"Mr. Better was himself man Of
fine gall, and his recognition of that
quality in another awakened in him q
certain degree of admiration. Quick
to perceive the chance in Mr.. Belter's
manner, faint and underlined as it was
Mr.. Finby went on:
"'But realize now as / have done
before, the carelessness of going about
in this way practically unarmed, and
if you'll permit me I'll load now as a
guard against future contingencies
"Mr. Finby's hands came down as he
uttered the concluding words, for he
had seen the hand that had held the
pistol leveled against him fall slowly
as the terror listened with sort of
astonished amusement.
"Mr. Finby had in his hip pocket a
pistol and in his waistcoat pocket a
box of cartridges, which he had bought
in Difference to the advice of friends,
but which he had never brought
together into useful conjunction,
partly because he was not personally

overconfidence in the human race. But
he proceeded now to load with perfect
calmness, but n his heart amazed at
the utter lack of precaution now dis
played by Mr.. Better, who stood lean
ing against tree and laughing, ap-
| parently quite overcome by the broad
hulnor of the situation. Suddenly it
was discovered that Mr.. Finby's gun
was being held in such position that
Mr.. Better could, without inconven.
iencc, look square into the muzzle of it,
and Mr.. Better discovered also at the
same moment in Mr.. Finby's eye u light
whose meaning no sane man could by
any possibility misunderstood. Mr.
Better -v;., Il man with q vast apprecia-

STILL IN THE SWIM.

He Was Not Too Old to Show His
Agility.
A lean wirs old fellow from the
country walked into a log cabin on the
wooded island in Jackson park the
other morning pushed his hat back on
his head, and inspected the interior
with evident enjoyment.
"This looks like old times" he said
turning to two young men standing
near him.
"Seen this kind of thing before, have
you?" observed one of them.
Seen it before? Well, 1 reckon!
Why, 1 was brought up in "a. settlement
where there wasn't half of the houses
as good as this one. know all about
this style of livin', from the word go.
And l use to have just as good time
as boys have now, too"
u don't know about that, Uncle"
said the other of the two young men.
You're not up to all the fun the boys
have nowadays. Trouble with you is
you're not in the procession any more.
You're dropped out, you know, just as
the band is beginning to play"
Dropped out, have -" exclaimed
the old man. Dropped out, hey?" he
snorted, running his hand into his
pocket and bringing it out again full
of gold and silver coins. Back num-
ber, am l? Look here, young fellow!
DO you want to bet u few dollars /
can't outrun you? Have you got a
ten or twenty to put up that l can't
throw either of you down? Can you
turn a handspring and light on your
feet stiff-legged? Bet you fifty dollars
can do it, Bet you one hundred dol
lars you can't! Want to try me on
hop, step and jump? Bet you-hold
on"
A crowd had begun to gather and
the two young men were edging away
from him.
'Pll go You five to one I can jump
further in two jumps than you can in
three! I'll ride mule race with either
of you-dont'be in a hurry!-I'll chin IA

Fort Ethan Allen.

There is no pretence of concealment
about the purpose of "Fort Ethan Allen"
the new military post which is to be es-
tabished near Essex Junction in the north
part of this state. Hon. Redfield Proctor,
while secretary of war, was actively work.
ing for its establishment. To Secretary Ell
kins, Mr.. Proctor's successor, Gen. Scho-
field wrote:
II have the honor TO report that the well-con-
sidered military policy of the United States, in
view of the possible contingency of war with
Great Britain, includes prompt and energetic ag-
gresslve action toward certain important strate-
gic points in the Dominion of Canada. To be
prepared for such action it is Of vital Importance
that permanent military posts be maintained at
convenient points near the northern frontier at
each Of which may be stationed the nucleus of
an army, to be composed mainly, in the event Of
war of the state troops quickly assembled from
the neighboring states"
Fort Ethan Allen is simply to be the
first one of these posts which will eventu-
ally stretch across the country from Maine
to Washington. The step is in no sense
menace to Canada or to Great Britain.
| Nobody expects or wants to see a war
with England. But at the same time that
country constantly acts as if war with
the United States was one of the proba-
bilities of the future. Her military estab-
lishment in Canada, her tremendous forti-
fcations and arsenals at Halifax, her forts
and dockyards at Bermuda and her long
line of ocean citadels stretching from ia
maica down to the north coast of South
America mean nothing less than this. As
a peace -preserver in any critical juncture
nothing could be so effective as to have
England know that this country was also
prepared for the emergency.
