 IL was six o'clock D. n. was seated in cheerful dining-room in one of the best hotels of the middle west, eating simple, wholesome food. preparatory to featuring. Soon I ceased to be the sole occupant of a table seating six, quiet, mild-loolzing man sliding into chair at my right. What he ordered I could not hear. nor did become inter- ested in this stranger until he began to feed Then his performance fasei- mated me. t was the most appalling barbarity I had ever witnessed and l wanted to call in the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
 He was young; how young could not guess. because he was one of those old young men 50 prevalent in this country. His pate would have been as bare as a billiard ball but for fringe of reddish brown hair. 1 feeble mus tache was the only hirsute appendage of a face that should have been well covered to conceal a receding chin that gave his character away. It was sup plemented by an inefficient nose. When a man has no nose, no chin, and no back to his head he is a failure.
 Presently q waiter surrounded my neighbor with a lot of food arranged thus:

Bread and butter.

Bread and butter
 Apple sauce
 ,sasaed potatoes. Beans Pork Chicken.
 Jeliied pancakes Soup. Ice water. Chicken salad. lee cream
 Depositing all this stuff at once, in a series of soap dishes, which are a. marvel and terror to the untutoredi European. my neighbor introduced me to a system of eating, such as even I, with all my travelling and disbelief in the feeding proclivities of my country men. had not conceived. I thought they drew the line somewhere: eyi- deutly some of them don't.
 First, the strange old young man swallowed half glass of ice water. Then he helped himself to bread and butter, and ate half a slice before he poured out the sonp, filling his plate twice with what looked like mock tur- tie. Two spoonfuls of soup to one sip Of water and one bite of buttered bread was the formula, but I was startled out of my wits by occasional on- slaughts on the salad and one or two dips into the apple sauce.
 No wonder that strange old young mans shoulders dropped and his whole anatomy seemed to apologize for walk ing about at all.
 After having drank up all the soup and finished one glass of ice water and one slice Of bread my neighbor pro- ceeded to stow away the contents of his soap dishes in a fashion that I fer vently hope is confined to himself The empty plate in front of him which the common variety of man feeds from was ignored by my neighbor except as 6 point d'appui for his bread and but ter. Why make that plate a middle man, as it were, between soap dishes and mouth2 Evidently it was an ex- trayagance undreamed of in my neigh bor's philosophy.
 , Allowing his fancy and his fork to wander In sweet and sour confusion, my neighbor pecked at pork, then beans, then ice water, then salad, then jellied pancake, then chicken, then ice cream, then apple sauce, until the whole ineongruous mess disappeared down his amazing throat into his in- suited stomach. More ice water and more buttered bread filled in the chinks. The only edible my neighbor ignored was mashed potatoes. His favorites after ice water and buttered bread were salad, apple sauce, jellied pancake and ice cream.
 After this exhibition of prowess 1 was wondering whether there were any more worlds for my neighbor to conquer when the waiter removed the debris and substituted mince pie, cake, cheese and big cup of coffee, to which cream and sugar were added in fearful quantities. Ice water and cheese pre- ceded pie and cake.
 My neighbor sat there complacently committing slow suicide, evidently as unconscious of bad taste and wrong do- ing as the man in the moon. What fol- lowed this course I do not know, as 1 had not time to outsit that strange old young man, but 1 am sure he retired with toothpick, went downstairs to the office, planted his feet higher than his head, and smoked cigarettes dosed with opium.
 As left that awful specimen of an American citizen who is permitted to vote, wondered what sort of mother he had been cursed with. For the sake of my sex, hope she died when he was born. Kate Fields Washington.

Ferre, who is made defendant in this

Lewis claims that the reason this

of Illinois. Ferre is now visiting

Inquiry, however, developed the fact
that the girl was the victim of hyp-
motto suggestion; that she had never
read '"Trilby;" had never been to a
ball before, and actually had never
waltzed before in her life. She was
introduced to Storr Kellen, her escort,
by a young man whose name is not
given because criminal proceedings
are to be instituted against him. He
hypnotized the girl early in the even

grand idea of a breeding farm, we

This ground has seen some famous
times, though, since 1871, when Gilbert
butcher took the lead in establishing
the old half-mile track that was later
swallowed up by the mile course laid
out by Mr.. Kittson. And in that old
stand over yonder Gov. German, as
good a, judge as ever presided over
track, has off1ciated many a time. In
rs President Hayes spoke from that
same stand to the greatest crowd I
ever saw packed together, on the hot
test day in my memory. A stub track
ran into the grounds about where
Hamline avenue is now from the old
st. Paul & Pacific, over rails laid on
ties that were not even sunk in the
ground. The people tame in slow
enough over that stub, but once here
everything was about as swift as any
one could wish. That building over
near the gate is the old-time exhibit
of the Scribner-Libbey company and
was intended to show the latest de-
velopment of iron sheathing and
cornice roofing. 1t has stood the wear
of years very well. That was in the
time when Minneapolis and st. Paul
were running rival state fairs, and 1
can tell you things were humming
around here"
But the state fair rivalry died out
after a while, and Mr.. Kittson pur-
chased the land for about S55, 600. The
elegant building on the place was
opened in 1881, and was in all respects
