MINNEAPOLIS MEN QUIT.

The Order Of the Committee Is Obeyed
Without Question.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 28.-The commit
tee of notification from st. Paul head
quarters arrived in Minneapolis yards
on an Omaha freight engine and noti-
fed the men that general strike had
been ordered. After serving notice on
men on the East side, they went across
the river to the north side and out to
the western extremity, calling out the
men as they went. Every man quit
work as soon as ordered, only taking
time to put away tools, close up freight
cars, lock up switches and leave the
yards in the same condition as they
would be left for the night.

Knew His Peoplc,

The following incident is said to
have happened in a country church
not long ago: The preacher was dis
coursing on the joys of heaven. Be
fore concluding his sermon he called
upon the congregation to signify
their preference as to the abode of
their souls after death.
An those who wish to go to heav-
en- will please stand up said the
dominic. The congregation arose in
a body, excepting one little bit of Il
boy, who was sitting up front near
the pulpit. The preacher caught sight
of him and put the question directly
to the boy. Don't you wish to so to
heaven when you die, my SOM

The New and the Old Schools.

There once lived a benevolent man
at Carbondale, Pa, one Solomon Ar
mold, who was g constant and Jealous
believer III the aIlopathic school of
medicine, but who, when a prepos-
sessing young doctor of the homeo-
pathic order located in town, enlist
ed his sympathies with the striving
Hsculapius and tried to proselyte his
neighbors to do likewise. But one
sad day Solomon's wisdom was laid
low on bed of sickness, and the
regular school physician was en-
ployed, and Solomon got well.
How is this, Mr.. ArnoldT' ex-
claimed the new doctor on meeting
his would be benefactor in a conva-
lescent walk. Il thought you were
going to send for me when a physi-
clans services were required"
'Lor, man, replied Solomon in o
voice of profound impressiveness,

"Floating "a Duffer,"

a friend of mine informs me that
1t IS the easiest thing in the world to
float an absolute duffer as a genius of
the first class. He tells me it is only
matter Of time, money and Judi
cious advertisement. OF course the
first and second elements are I'M
doubleday necessary for the adequate
exploiting of the third. But, given
these conditions, he says that he will
undertake that a man Of little educa-
ton and no particular ability NAV
take his stand as man of the high
est importance III any line he may
choose to adopt. If this be the case,
1t IS pity company Is not formed
to take the matter up and work it.
The Booming society would be a
very good title for such a corpora
ton, and as there are plenty of no.
bodies with money who are anxious
to persuade the world they are men
exceptionally distinguished there
would be probably every chance Of
such a project becoming a paying
concern. If the chairman and direct
ors happened to be acute students of
human nature, the shares in such q
company would doubtless soou be at

Horse Superstitions.

Gable ends have significance that
few people realize now The carved
ridge tiles and representation OF an
lmals, such as horses and horsemen.
and the stone balls all possess a
meaning. Horses heads are com

gables and are found in Russia.
while chamois heads occur in the
Tyrol. The completion of build
ing was signalized by sacrifice orig
lnally, just as the laying of the
foundation was. Perhaps more of the
final ceremony remains today than
the initial one.

One Saturday evening the gentle
man whom the story names pom
dered as to how he could best fool
his wife and decided that it would
astonish her greatly if he carried
home box of candy, for, as he was
not personally fond Of confection-
cry, he had probably never made her
present i'll the sugar line before,
his gifts generally being of more val
liable character. Providing himself
with box Of bonbons, he started
home and arrived there in company
with the candy and a chuckle in adj
vance at the expense Of his wife and
the state of surprise she would be in
on opening the package
Here is something for you, he re-
marked, handing over the bundle.
Yes" she replied, without even
looking at the box, the character of
which was concealed in brown paper.

Here IS another account of mind
acting upon mind. A young lady
was extremely anxious to obtain
pair Of mousquetaire gloves to match
q certain new lavender gown, but
gould not find her size-52-in the
desired shade. After visiting several
shops she went home to fret because
the lovely new suit would not be
ready for wearing until the gloves
could be sent for from the distant
city, and the dance came off the very
next evening" In the meanwhile a
certain young man had been racking
his brains for a suitable gift for
cher" approaching birthday. They
had not been engaged very long, and
many of her tastes he was only able
to guess at.
Strolling aimlessly into "a shop Oh
the very afternoon that she was fruit
lessly searching for gloves in the Ii
val establishment of the village, a
bright idea from nowhere in particu-
lar darted into his mind, and he rec
objected that it was allowable to give
gloves even to girls with whom one
made tritling bets. 1t was only when
the pet clerk inquired, What size?"
that he began to be bewildered. And
then his state of phase" did not last
long.
Picking up a pair of suedes from a
box open on the counter, he reckless
ly ordered them wrapped up, and
that very evening the gift, in q vel
vet lined box and accompanied by
big bunch of violets, was III the hands
of the young lady.

The Doll of the Coiored Children.


Did any one ever SEQ little colored
girls playing with any other sort of
dolls than whiteones2 Perhaps such
little girls sometimes have black
dolls but the writer often sees them
at their doll play i'll street which is
almost exclusively inhabited by col
ored people and has never seen them
with any but white dolls. Generally
the dolls are quite blond. 1t is not
for want of black dolls i'll the stores.
They are numerous enough and are
much favored by white girls.
The reason for it is of course a
very pathetic story-the long story
of a race enslaved and despised until
it has to great extent lost its pride
in itself and come to court another
by habit which is second nature.
The mulattOes and quadroons are
given certain precedence and honor
by the blacks, and the little mulatto
girls will have none but white dolls,
and blends at that But all this I'M
doubtedly must be changed. With
independence the instinct of race
pride must revive, and in the course
of time colored girls may play with
black dolls. Boston Transcript.
