stood OH the cornersall through the rain.
and there was a Wistful look in his
small red eyes which told of a fervid
longing for drink of good old booze.
Nobody appeared to know him, for
nobody spoke to him, and he stood
alone, unnoticed and forlorn. Finally
he hltched up his baggy trousers and

The ragged, dirty, unkempt wretch

WILLIE LUND's ADVENTURE.
He Is Locked in a Hox Car and
Carried From Staples.

A small boy stood OH Hennepin ave-
nue., near Fourth street. about dusk last
evening and sobbed as though his heart
would break, while big round tears left
a white streak as they coursed through
the Crime on his upwashed faced. Some
gentlemen who passed were attracted
by the lamentations of the lad, and, OH
being questioned, lie told pathetic
story. He gave the name of Willie
Lund, his age as II, and his home is in
Staples, where he has widowed
mother. Saturday. while playing in a
box car which was side tracked, one of
the brakemen suddenly locked the door
of the car, not seeing the boy.
when the train pulled out, and it was
not until Minneapolis was reached that
his presence was discovered. All day
yesterday he had nothing to eat, and OH
hearing the story the gentleman in
question took him in charge and invited
him over to Mr.. Harris, of the Hotel
Beaufort, and the way in which a juicy
beefsteak and four baked potatoes SUBJ
seQuently disappeared was caution.
Last night Mr.. Harris put him on board
train and he was sent To Staples, much
reioiced over the happy termination of
his adventure.

THE GREEK PHILOSOPHER
Rev. Sample Delivers a Lecture
on Socrates

Rev. Sample Delivers a Lecture
on Socrates.
A fair-SiZed audience listened last
night to an interesting lecturedelivered
in Century hall by Rev: S. w. Sample.
The title of the lecture was IF Soc
rates Came to Minneapolis" Aside
from the title, the lecture had no
application 10 Minneapolis other than
that which might be attributed to
any city. country or people of modern
times, The speaker desired 10 illustrate
that great men were not recognized as
great men until after their demise, when
their names and philosophy were wor-
SHIPPED as things classic. He MAIN
tanned that the world was in such con-
dltlon that If Socrates should come to
Minneapolis with posters flaming from
the skies, announcing that he was the
philosopher of Athens of old, he would
be taken in, worshiped, feasted and
made much OF.
If Socrates, however. should come to
Minneapolis rs he did to Athens some
1890 years ago and expound Ills phiios-
ophy, he would he denounced as a
crank and nuisance. The pulpits. the
speaker said. were meant for the preach
ing of the gospel. Socrates might ask,
were lie on earth, what was meant by
the gospel. Ii he was told it was that
by Which people were prepared for
heaven hereafter and saved from a hell
in another world he would no doubt
maintain that it would be better phil
osophy and gospel to get the people out
of the hell OH this earth than to pre-.
pare them for the escape of the one
hereafter.
Rev. Sample then went into a disser-
tation Oh the morality and pauperism of
the age, decrying The system which
made men beg for bread and causes vice

was so much suffering, so much

rather than signing about that life of
which nothing is known.

FREIGHT RATES sLasHED.
San Francisco Unsheathes
Knife for New York.

SAN FRANCISCO. April s.-Freight
rates between this coast and the Allan
tic seaboard, owing to the competition
by water, have for nearly year been so
low that most of the wholesale trade of
San Francisco has become almost mon
opOlized by New York city. to the ex-
clusiOn of the mid-continental points
that formerly had share of this bust
ness. Chicago has grown weary of this
state of affairs, and will make an effort
to regain the patronage of San Francisco
dealers. 1t Is reported in commercial
circles, beginning on the 10th inst, that
the Union Pacific railroad and its con-
nection will make the same rates from
Chicago to San Francisco that are
now given bv the Sunset route
from New York to this city,
The idea is to give the Chicago manu-
facturers an equal chance in the market
with those of the Atlantic coast. The
reductions will be very marked. On

s.. 46 per hundred pounds will he s1.5O;

BUZZARD DANCING.

Only Two Persons in Now York Clty
Who Can Do 1t.
Not long ago con spicuous member
of an athletic club was discriminate
ingly spoken of as the only man in
town who knows how to dance abuz-
card. 2" His is not All unique distinc-
ton; there is a young woman in town
of whom it may be said she is the
only woman in town who knows how
to dance buzzard. says the New York
Evening Sun.
Buzzard is negro dance, weird,
picturesque and even poetical, not
withstanding its name. The name.
however has everything to do with
the dance The buzzard is a bird of
bad habits
At the same time those slow, circlinp
movements, and the broad, Tapping
wings of the buzzard in preparing to
descend on its prey are graceful and
impressive. 1t is easy to see how
these have impressed the highly
imaginative brain of the negro as thew
reappear in the dance. This has an
origin as spontaneous. unstudied and
natural as the choric dance or the
bacchanal.
In dancing buzzard the dancers adj
vance, retreat and circle round one
another with both arms extended and
waving them slowly up and down.
The feet cross one another and are
drawn back without leaving the floor
The distinction. it may be obser we'd,
between barbarous and civilized dane
ing is just here. In the dancing OF
savage tribes and notably among the
Indians the dancers advance by drag
ging their feet backward. In the
dancing Of civilized tribes as shown
in the galop and waltz. the movement

way.

A stout old man in gray ulster
hailed a Fourth avenue car. at Worth
street says the New York Tribune.
One hand was occupied with rather
impetuous bulldog on chain and the
other waved a baggy umbrella.
When the car stopped the man .hauapd
the bulldog up to the rear platform
and said to the conductor: -

No"
Me and John William has u to

Can't help it; watkins cool
Let me- ride on the platform. and
hitch John William onto the brake. "
The conductor agreed to this and
John William trotted placidly along
up the Bowery without mishap be-
You'd upsetting two newsboys.
Somehow nobody wanted to get off
the car on John Williams side and
people on the crossings waiting for
the car to pass kindly gave John
William all the room he wanted. At
Seventeenth street. however, there
was a crosstown car in waiting, and
the driver intent on the hairbreadth
escape of the rear platform which a
crosstown driver loves to make, reck-
oned without John William. who was
pattering calmly along beside the
step
Hey, hey hold on" called the old
man on the platform, excitedly. But
it was too late; there wasn't room be-
tween the crosstown horse and the
Fourth avenue car for even the: alert
John William to pass, and it seemed
as if the dog must be inevitably

garded it otherwise He seemed to
know that his only chance lay in
breaking the chain. So by a quick
bound to the farthest side of the cross

horses chest and swapping his bonds
like a string he trotted calmly up
Fourth avenue after his master.
