powers of imitation, is great pet

No sooner does he see the gray uni
form of the park police than after
turning his head first on one side and
then the other as if he were thinking
it all over he sends forth perfect inn
itation of policeman's whistle. When
ever he hears n new sound which he
considers worth reproducing, after
listening very attentively and appar-
emily thinking 1t over most carefully,
he repeats it with the utmost accuracy
and, having done so, look, about as
much as to say: II don't think that
could be improved upon, do you?"

aphanous textiles, are exquisite, and
the laces soft, creamy and lovely both
in texture and device, do much to
still further enhance the fascinating
effect of these Arcadian gowns.
The French organdies are made up
over taffeta silk of a single shade or in
changeable tints, giving. further beau
ty to the transparent fabric that wells
it. If silk is considered too expensive,
Innings for bodice and skirt are made
of tinted lawn, batiste, lustrous sateen,
watered percale, or the silk gingham
in monochrome that is called ''swivel
silk" Lace leads everywhere, as the
garniture par excellence for these
toilets; but exceedingly chic and pret-
ty dresses are trimmed with simple
embroideries in French muslin or In
dia NULL Pin-dotted Swiss muslins are
in great favor among the highly-pop-
ular white frocks for the summer, and
are made up in charmingly simple
fashion, or with as much elaboration
as may be desired. The simplest
dresses are without lining in waist or
skirt, and if made amply large, to al
low for shrinkage, can be laundered
week after week during the season.
The seams are covered in English bag
fashion, made by stitching them up on
the right side, then turning the gar
ment and adding similar stitching on
the wrong side, thus neatly conceal
ing all the raw edges. Insertion is
much used on these gowns, particular
ly those that are intended to go into
the family wash.
On the more elaborate toilets for
dress wear, lace is prodigally en-
ployed. Soft sheer India mulls and
the more crisp Persian lawns are in
equal favor. the last mentioned fabric

of attractiveness and grace to make
1t the most popular waist OF all. The full
round waist over a fitted lining is in
variably used for thin dresses of every
description. There may be yoke of
lace, or one striped with insertion, or
fashioned with a guimpe and full
bishop sleeves of plated
muslin, or 1t may be made of one tex
tile only with frills and surplice folds,
or plain wool, only shirring at the
neck and belt, but with Marie An

How 1t Happened.

Geo. Wingrove returned Friday
from Menasha, Wis.,, where he had
been attending the funeral OF his
brother who was drowned there on
Sunday together with Charles Cra-
gin and John Hutton. He says
that the three men were out on Lake
Winnebego for sail when a squall
struck them and overturned the
boat. Hutton never came up but
the others chung to the boat. Cra-
gin could not swim and was about
to let go when Wingrove tied him to
the boat with a rope. WingrOve
still clung to the boat and both men
washed ashore with it. Cragin was
dead when they reached the shore
and Wingrove expired soon after,
there being no one present to care
for him. William WingrOye was
buried at Menasha and the body of
Chas Cragin was taken in charge by
the Odd F Fellows and knights of
Pythias and sent to his home at
Lawrence, Mass When Geo. Win
grove left there Thursday the body
of Hutton had not been recovered.

GALORE.
Probably 5000 Americans Are
Writing For the Stage.
THE STRUGGLES OF AN AUTHOR.

Come Interesting Suggestions From G. T..
Darcy, the Author of ':Rival Candidates.
and TN Old Kentuclzy"-The Pecuniary
Reward of Success Is Great.
1t has been estimated that there are in
this country at least 5000 men and women
who are attempting to write for the stage.
10 this class anything concerning the strug-
giles of fellow author is of interest, and it
is on that account that. cheerfully comply
with the request which has been made of
me to give some of the results of my expert
ence and observation in the dramatic field
TO person of literary tastes no other
branch Of work offers the same inducements
as does that of dramatist. The demand
Tor good plays and the large pecuniary re-
wards are among the most tempting of its
possibilities.
1t is only when one begins to evolve a
play that the tremendous difficulties of tho
task are realized. In the space of two and a
half hours or three at the utmost the life
histories of from eight to a dozen people
must be revealed. Their past and present as
we'll as their future must interest or amuse.
Their entrances and exits must be natural
and characteristic. The story of the play
must be clear, and, above all, each act must
be cumulative, growing from curtain to
curtain in strength and power, and at the
last the problem must be solved in such a
way as to send the spectators home satisfied
with the general effect of the play.
Nor is this the hardest part of the task
Plays which have apparently answered all
these requirements have either failed or
struggled along for few months as sue
cesses ''d'estime." There must be in a
successful play something which will make
people talk about it and want to see it.
Sometimes this is mechanical effect, some
times theme of unusual interest or new.
ness of locale and incident. Above all, there
must not be dull or uninteresting moment.
Nor is the writing Of a good play the only
difficulty which confronts the unknown
author. The play, once written, must be
disposed Of, and the disagreeable part of the
work begins. 1.-The man who has written
a play'' is byword with actors and man
ayers. His experience is usually sicken-
ing one. He is received with scant cour-

a Girl Plays Him False, but He Gets Even

CHAPTER L.
When the trombone player left the home
OF the girl he loved, he was imbittered.
The world was darkness to him. Chill

en- conversed gayly with and about each

faces and borrowed fine cut.
But the trombone player muttered, and
upon his bloodless lips there were only
words of hate

Turning upon his heel, he walked away

EXCELLENT LOCHITO
Valuable Suburban Property
Brouqth into Reach of
People with Moder-
ate Means.

One of the most beautiful spots in
the envirOns OF our rapidly grow
ing city is now being laid out in five
acre outlOts. The land in question
is owned by Mr.. OlOf O. Searle, OF A.
E. Johnson & CO., of st. Paul, a firm
to which Little Falls and Morrison
county already is deeply indebted on
account OF the many hundred thrifty
farmers who, through it's efforts,
have been brought into our county.
Accompanied by the wide awake
local representative of said firm, Mr..
II. Landau, we today went out to
these new outlets.
Located half mile from the city
limits ON the West Side OF the Missis-
sippi and ON both sides OF the big
county road to Upsala, Elmdale and
Swanriver. the most prosperous anu
thickly settled townships in the
county, the distance from the diff
ferent factories and mills along the
river is short enough to make 1T a
pleasant walk. The soil is OF eXcep-
tiOnal]y good quality and the land is
covered with splendid oak, maple
and bassWO God trees, enough on each
0utlot to furnish fuel for many Il
year. It seems to US that for per-
son with employment in the city
during a part OF the year, and who
at the same time wishes to surround
himself with the comforts of country
life, who likes to keep COWS and
poultry and have a garden which,
besides producing the necessities Of
the table, can ifcOnscienciOuS!y man.
aged, add materially to the weekly
earnings, for such practical person
u more convenient place could not
be found. At noon today when the
county surveyor had finished the
survey Mr.. landau sold one of the
outlots to Adolph Anderson, form
erly of Blanchard, N. Dak., and now
the first house is already under con-
StructiOn. AS the OutlOtS are sold
at. very reasonable prices and on
easy terms, it will probably not take
many months before both sides OF
this road through the OutlOts arc
lined with neat looking cottages,
and W lille the "Gar9en OutlOts,"
considering the splendid prospects of
the city, probably before long are
part of same, and the owners might
have found it to their advantage to
dispose of a portion of their five
acres in 4O-feet lots, still today this
is the very place for the wise and in
dustrlous artisan who prefers a
healthy, comfortable home to a
room or two in a crowded fiat.
