n DREAM OF We NGERNCE
Our Dramatic Editor Gcto tn-
to Trouble.

II Our dramatic editor ia getting
better. With the assurance OF fu
ture safety his total recovery Ii
promised. He had reviewed an en-
tertainment which exhibited unpar
alleled phases of modern acting. In
50 doing he mentioned, among other
things, the deep impression which
one of the performers made upon the
audience. Her nane-hut let it be
unspoken, like the mysterious name
OF ancient Rome. the penalty for ut
terng which was death. The lady
read the article; she objected to ii.
Instead Of being pleased, she deter
mined to wreAk vengeance on the
culprit. She called on all the gods
to witness the registry OF he' vow.
She had castigated men bcfOre-she
could do it again. When. the dra-
matte edi .or heard OF it he trelnbled.
From that hour he began to droOp.
He saw Nemesis every where. Were
there but the rustic Of a dress or the
frou. frou OF u skirt near him, he
shivered and shuddered with appre-
tensions OF evil. 1t was worse than
the vengeance which pursued Or
estes. He saw the yellOwhaired i'll
carnation OF trouble in his dreams.
He dread to seek his couch fearing
dreams beside which those of De-
Quincy paled away. And then, one
fearful evening, he met her. True.
she was thirty feet. away, but her
look froze the marrow In his bones.
Slowly and solemnly she spoke: 81
will know thee tomorrow In the
gulf which opened before the ur-
happy man, there was ray OF light.
Blcst inspiration! "Tomorrow
never comes" And tomorrow never
came. The dramatic editor has
placed his hand upon his heart, and
resolved after this to count the num-
her of teeth in a buzZ-saw before the
buZz-saw is touched.

John Mcclure, of st. Paul.. general
agent of the st. Paul Fire & Marine
Insurance company, was in the city
Friday looking after a loss on the
Kunza property in Swan river. This
company has found the fire insur-
ance business SO unsatisfactory that
it is doubtful if they continue it in
this locality. When the valued
policy law goes into effect Oct. l, it
will make radical change in building
insurance, as the value of the prop
erty cannot be questioned after de-
struction by fire and the face OF the
policy must be paid. 1t puts aside
the question of loss (which is the
foundation of fair insurance. and is
a great encouragement to over in
snrance, and will result in increased
rates on all property OF that class.

BISHOP MHRTY'S VISIT.
He Looks Over Hospital and
Orphanage.

Rt. Rev. Martin Marty, CathOllc
bishop of this diocese, who has been
in the city few days, returned to
st. Cloud Saturday. He came up To
look over the hospital and orphan
age, in both of which institutions ne
takes a deep interest, and was much
pleased at their condition. The or
phanage is the only Catholic one in
the diocese, and children are sent to
it from every part. The Franciscan
Sisters indend to build this summer
an additional wing, as accommoda.
lions for the orphans are limited be-
cause of the great number there.
Bishop Marty says that the report
that Archbishop Zardetti will resign
from the see of Bucharest is without
foundation. The bishop will be in
Little Falls again this summer to
confirm classes at both chul ches.

LIVELY FOR IT'S SIZE.
The Sale of State Grass
Seed Furnishes Some
. -" Excitement. VI
The Rich Prairie COmbina-
ton Didn't Have Things
Their Own Way.

The public sale of state grass
stumpage at the court house Satur-
day attracted few farmers who DE-
sired grass from stateland, and sales
to the amount of about $75 were
made by II. A. Fretz at fair prices.
Some fun W as furnished by the tao
tics of one crowd Of fellows from
Rich Prairie; who had arranged all
the details If the sale to their salts
factiOn-but not to the profit OF the
state. The stumpage in one district
was parceled out before the bidding
began, and it was proposed to get
the rights for practically nothing.
Some of the best pieces in the county
are in the Rich Prairie country, and
when tracts were offered that would
cut from 20 to so ton of hay some
member of the combine would bid
from % to 50 cents. FretZ would re-
fuse to receive such ridiculous bid,
and then the roar would begin. A
lew Sales Vi SUM pdSC "ClC HeAOO AZ
that part of the county at fair
prices to Mic Hennen, Maggie, Crest
and others; but many tracts were
not disposed OF, and the 25 cent bid
ders insisted they must he granted
the right If no higher bids were
offered. One man was paid SIS to go
home and not bid, so the combine
could be worked without opposition.
When Fretz closed the sale and re-
fused to dispose of the stumpage on
the Is and so cent bids, he received
the active attention OF the crowd,
who denounced him as about the
worst individual in sight. One
fellow told him: "Fretz your name Is
Dutch all right, but think you are
ad- pea SOUP" which of course
crushed the, sellers heart. The
stumpage will probably now be sold
at private sale.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The
rear of the drive that was started
from Brainerd is now past Crow
Wing and the river behind it il
cleared OF logs. The Little Falls
drive is at Sank Rapids. Here at
Minneapolis the boom company have
matter so we'll arronged that they
are able to handle the logs faster
and with smaller crew than here
tofore and the logs have been run
ming so well that the manufacturers
have some Of them requested that
the boom company turn IN ore slowly
The excellent stage of the water for
driving has enabled the company to
reduce it's force on the river by about
two thirds, so that instead Of;three
hundred men who were employed
the force now numbers only one
hundred.

"oPPosITIoN."
The Wickedneoo OF Protesting
Aqaiont Flrst Ward
eelfishnesa.

The Herald still mOurns over the
comments OF the Transcript ON the
depot question, and exposes the
Opposition" The only "opposi-
tom the Transcript has is IL protest
against the demands of aldermen
who live in the First ward that a
depot site should he selected in their
ward instead of at the place that
the railroad company originally Sc
lected. In making that selection the
railroad company recognized the
most appropriate site for the con-
yenlence Of the public, and any con-
tention that has arisen in the whole
matter is due to the determination
OF aldermen from the First ward to
gain whatever benefit the location
of u depot might be. II the location
OF the depot north or South OF
Broadway makes no difference to
public or private interests. then why
did those aldermen SO emphatically
demand that it be placed south OF
the street, instead OF north? II the
location does make difference, then
isn't it proper to object to the at
TEMPT of the aldermen to force the
railroad company to change it's
plans?
The assertion that any West SIDE
interests are opposing the new de-
pot project is entirely false, and
what makes the attack meaner, is
that there is no foundation for it.
Everybody in the city would be
pleased to have the Northern Pacific
make improvements, but people on
the West side have no interest in the
location, except that it, be not taken
far from Broadway (Which is the
street by which they must reach it,;
and they have absolutely no con-
Germ in the vacation of any streets
that the railroad company asks for.
The Herald again went out OF It's
way to make arguments that are
absurd ON their face, and believed by
no one.

Matchmaking In New Mexico.

In the old Spanish-American days in
the southwest marriage was matter
in which the contracting parties had
little to say, the question of choice and
fitness being settled by the parents of
the couple. The practice has fallen SO
much out of date in the present genera
ton that it sounds odd to read now in a
published account of recent marriage
at Guadalupita, N. NJ, in which Mex
lean OF sixty-eight years welded a Sc
norita OF sixteen years, that the COM
pensation he was called upon to make
for the difference in their respective
ages was settled at thirty varas of land,
an adobe house and five apple trees,
presumably to be paid to her parents.

STREET ACROBATS IN JAPAN,
Clever Little People Who DO Almost I'm
possible Tricks for Small Pay.

poSSioi0 Irlcks Tor Small Pay.
During jinrikisha ride along the
streets OF any Japanese city the trav-
eler is almost sure to sec group of
young street acrobats, quaint little peo-
pie grotesqucly dressed. Their ages will
range generally between three and
twelve years, and all have been reg
ularly trained.
Their dress consists mainly of loose
trousers, bright-colored jacket and
a peculiar headdress. The trousers
are baggy, made of strong material
resembling blue and white bed ticking,
and tied at the ankle. The jacket and
shirt arc bright and conspicuous.
The front Of the hcaddrcss repre-
scnts the half-opened mouth Of a
dragon, while the back is ornamented
with many cocks plumcs. From under
the hcaddress falls q curtain Of thin
red material, thrown cacelcssly back
over t,S:2 shoulders, t. VI: W. tx.., ),
securely held on the head BY Z pics:a q
rsd cloth which ties underneath the
chin.
These little imps are always laugh
ing, full Of fun, ever ready to play
harmless jokes on one another. Some
OF their most skillful antics, says
Youths Companion, will be followed
by simply throwing themselves into
ridiculous positions, intended solely to
keep spectators in a good humor.
You are startled to SEQ them sudden
ly stand upon their heads; heels in air.
or bend backward until their saucy
little faces will be seen inverted be-
tween their knees. Again, they will
walk on their hands, and quite unex-
pcctcdly change from their position,
rolling and tu,nbling over each other,
jumping, kicking or prancing, and
trying in every way to attract the a.
tention Of the passcr-by.
One of them continually beats a
small drum and sings at the top of his
voice, doing his best to add to the din.
Their entire performance is given in
the hope of earning few rin-a small
copper coin, worth less than the tenth
of an American cent
