Another effort has been made TO rob
Mr.. Joel Gardner. plain. but wealthy
citizen of this county. A few years ago

robbers entered the house and took out
through a window a trunk containing
considerable money. Three thousand dol

engaged in the kitchen a negro, who
worked on the place and knew that Mr..

tered the house. found the key in the

THE RETORT QUICK

in public places, heard retort made
to him last Thursday night which was SO
good 1 was surprised never to have heard
it before. 1t was at the theater, and the
young man had seen the play before. He
let everybody for four seats around know
that, and he kept telling just what was
coming and just how funny it would be
when it did come. He had pretty girl
with him, and he was trying to amuse
her. At length he SAID:
did you ever try listening to a play
with your eyes shut? You've no idea
how queer it seems.
A middle aged man with red face sat
just in front. He twisted himself about
Young man." said he, did you ever
try listening to a play with your mouth
shut?''
And the silence was almost painful.

IN SOCIAL LIFE

A very delightful and beautiful lunch
con was given yesterday by the Misses
Ryan, at their home, No. g. the Colonial
Covers were laid for eight. and in the
center of the round table was an ex-
quisite centerpiece worked in Dresden
design; on this was placed a Dresden
china banquet lamp, the light softened
by pink shade. Across the table in
either direction were broad pink satin
ribbons, each end encircling a cut-glass
vase placed near the edge of the table
and falling in "a large graceful bow over
the side. These vases were filled with
clusters of mignonette, pink roses, forget
me-nots and yellow marguerites. The
same flowers were strewn over the table.
Before entering the dining room each
guest was given corsage bouquet and
the place at the table designated by a
corresponding bunch of flowers at the
plate.
The menu was most delicious and was
served on dainty Dresden china
Besides Mrs. Ryan and the Misses Ryan
the guests were Mines. G. G. Carpenter,

MAKING OF A MILLIONAIRE
Neat Little Commercial Transaction Of Q
Fruit Peddier

1t is the generally held opinion among
the clerks in some of the upstairs office s
of the postofiice building that the mate
little bit OF man" who has recently re-
ceived permission to peddle fruit there
during the lunch hour has in him all the
markings of millionaire.
On the first day of his appearance he
brought with him large basket of rosy
checked apples. Northern Spoies," he
called them, and placed one on each
clerk S desk II the occupant offered to pay
for the apple he was told that it was
only sample of the apples that the man
proposed to keep in stock, and if the offer
OF the apples were repulsed by the suspi-
cious clerk, he was told that the obliga-
ton would be on the peddler's side if the
clerk were to accept it.
Next day there was free distribution of
a banana apiece, not a scrimpy banana,
either, but good fat banana. almost as
large as rolling pin, and the presenta-
ton was accompanied by the richest of
smiles and the most delicate blarneyings
imaginable.
The third day the man brought basket
of oranges, and with them an apology.
He had "trapsed' all over New York, he
said, trying to get oranges OF decent size
for reasonable price, but the supply was
limited owing to the 'Floriday frosts, ~
and all he had been able to get was thin
little runts" and for these he had to pay
ter when the California crop was fairly
under way.
Then, with the same rich smile, he be-
gan the distribution of oranges, but there
seemed to be a prevailing impression
among the clerks that the balance of obi
CATION was little too much on one side
now. A sample of apples or bananas even,
fruit that might be bought of any peddler,
was all right, but when it came to run
ming all over town for oranges which cost
five cents apiece, it was a little too much
like an imposition on good nature. ESQ
the clerks paid for their oranges; some of
them at the rate of five cents apiece and
some at three for ten cents, while the
chief clerk gave ten cents for single
orange.
Next day the man appeared with bas
ket of mixed fruit, and laid an orange,
an apple and a banana on the first clerk s
desk
How much?' asked the clerk.
well, " said the man with smile that
would have broken Boucicaults heart
with envy, so rich and winning, yet self
deprecatory was it, I'D loike to kape on
giving you gintlemin noice little bit of
fruit ev'ry marnen, but L m a poor man.
1t 'ud be about tin cents, sor. ?"
1t was ten cents all round and the
clerks now feel that they are as completely
bound as regular customers of the man as
though that were a cast iron contract be-
tween them. One chap who has a very
nobby head, and who is considered the
rising statistician of the country. has
computed shat man got back Ii 26-100 per
cent over his original investment on the
third day and that his profits now range
at II 2-10 per cent above the legitimate.

SIMPLICITY IN DINING
A Welcome Example Set by a New York
Hostess


At dinner lately given in one of the
superb homes fronting on Central Park
above the Metropolitan club, the hostess
was thanked by several of her guests for
her consideration in not OBTAINING them
at table longer than an hour and a half
to which were added heartfelt assurances
that the comparative simplicity of her
menu would enable her guests to go away
carrying with them gratitude for hospi-
tality unimpaired by apprehensions of re
suits. There had been provided board
spread prodigally with pink roses in sill
yer dishes no more than soup. fish. entree,
roast game, salad, sweet and dessert to
which the people she had invited would
have been likely to sit down at home.
Everything was of its kind excellent,
well cooked, well served, but of the mys-
teries in curl papers and dangers lurking
in glazed sauce once offered at the elbows
of unsuspecting guests, there was literal
ly none. Thank Cod" whispered
man of middle age into the ear of the
woman next TO him at the table, II can
see my way and avoid calamity in a dim

This movement, whether or not directed
by the rebellion of the flesh against su-
perfluous indulgence at table, is one of

PANACEAS
Every Man Has His Pet Remedies for His Own
Diseases

Diseases
1t is extremely interesting and in a
degree encouraging to those who hold
mind cure theories to see how sensible
people the world over have their cure
alls-widely different remedies for the
same diseases-and give universal testi-
mony to the entire efficacy of these rem
edies. One person fights off biliousness,
another dyspepsia and another rheuma-
tism by eating an orange every night be-
fore going to bed. Another effectually
discourages all three of these diseases by
swallowing every night tablespoonful of
sweet oil before retiring; another takes
tum blerful of water at that hour as hot as
he can drink it, and POUNDS his immu-
nifty from various diseases on that.
Not long ago at public banquet when
several diners were groaning over their
dreadful colds, a doctor present said no
one living need ever have cold, that he
himself had not had a vestige of cold for
twenty-five years, whereas before that
time he was continually suffering from
them. When all the company bent to
hear what wonderful remedy he had dis
covered. he declared that what he did was
simply to drink glass OF mineral water
every night before going to bed. A we'll
known Boston physician keeps his pa
TENTS in health by making them go with
out underclothes winter and summer.
and he would doubtless scout the mineral
water remedy. Still another makes his
people sleep in two flannel night gowns
and under five blankets, but makes them
open all their windows, SO that the air
and temperature in their rooms are ex-
actly the same as they are out of doors.
We have all heard of that Paris specialist
who had theory that, since-in his view
the primitive race from which man is
descended went on all fours, it is neces-
sary, if we wish to ''get back to nature, "
in order to secure or restore our health,
to get down and travel on our hands and
feet certain portion each day. He made
all his patients take active exercise for an
hour or two each day on all tours, and
the strange part of the matter was that
it effected some wonderful cures.

RECEIPTS OF MILWAUKEE AND
DULUTH ROADS FOR LAST
YEAR.
The Heaviest Receipts Were ia
October-RepOrts to the
State Auditor.

Auditor Dunn yesterday received the
gross earnings statements of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
company for the year 1894. The branch
from Ortonville to the South Dakota
line earned S., 032.98, on which the per
cent state tax amounts to $1,020.66. The
remaining branches in Minnesota show
freight earnings of So, 1877, 1886. %; passen-
ger earnings, $1,151, 757.05; mails, 5000,
072.65; express, $137, 1924; telegraph,
$5,652.32; rents, $14 1922 49, miscellaneous,
$66, 400.29. October naturally displays
the heaviest receipts-$631, 000-while
February and July were months of
minimum revenue-about $315,000, Or
one-half the receipts of October. The
per cent tax on the entire receipts
($5, 0S2, 213.56) brings to the state the
agreeable sum of $152, 1854. In 1893,
however, the Milwaukee earned 81, 49,
927.1 more, and sacrificed $34,579 more
for the good Of the state.
During the last half of 1894 the main
line of the st. Paul & Duluth Railway
company earned $756, 499 H. of which
freight contributed $537 1850 and pass
engers S199, 100.56. The state tax at 3
per cent on the earnings amounts to
S22, 694.9S. The earnings and taxation
of the Duluth company's branch lines
during the same period are as follows:
Grantsburg, Rush City & st. Cloud
Railroad Company-Earnings, $1,376.16
tax, $41.28. Taylors Falls & Lake Su-
perior Railroad Earnings,
$780, SO; tax $26Ss3. Minneapolis & Du-
luth Railroad Company-Earnings $751;
1878; tax, $1,16394 The decrease in
earnings on the entire system, COM
pared to those for the preceding six
months, is $50, 314. rs.
