LOVE IN A SNOWSTORM.
A Puritan Maiden's Experience In
Wonderful London.

She was little puritan maiden,
with honest gray eyes and a sweet,
bashful face. Her parents called her
Dorothy; her friends, Dolly. She had
been brought up very strictly, and 1t
was not without nisgivings that her
strait-laced family allowed her to visit
her rich uncle and aunt in London.
But they could not well refuse the in
vitation. Even puritan people know
how to value their moneyed relatives.
Dolly had been in London only one
short week, and she was bewitched
with everything she saw. She loved
her uncle and aunt, both of whom dis
played strong affection for her. and in
dulged her in freedom she had never
tasted before. She was delighted with
the substantial old house, with it's
large rooms, big freplaces and COM
Portable furniture. More than ALL she
admired London itself. The busy
streets, with their palatial shops; the
colossal buildings-St. Paurs, the
Abbey, the houses of parliament, the
broad, quiet squares, which seemed to
have been dropped down at random
among the wilderness of houses; the
gay restaurants and the brilliant, fas.
cinating theaters. She particularly
liked it at night. when illumined by
countless lights, whose reflections gilt
tered on the pavement; and when the
black darkness of the sky, unaccom-
panied by the deathly silence that it
brought In the country, seemed
rather to enhance the noise and hustle
of the prodigal streets. There was
something romantic about it all. It
thrilled her, she knew not why. Her
heart beat faster, her pulses bounded
more quickly; she felt more alive than
she had ever felt before.
There was another source of pleas
ure. Never before had she been
thrown into the company of SO en-
gaging young gentleman as her
cousin Tom, the only child of her
uncle and aunt. He was Dolly's senior
by some half-dozen years Had Dolly's
parents suspected what manner of
young man he was, they would have
made a special journey to London to
bring their daughter home. Fortu-
nately they were ignorant. There
was nothing really bad about the lad.
He had very good heart, but he
wanted steadying little. He was ex-
actly the sort of dashing, reckless,
free-handed young Englishman that a
handsome, manly fellows becomes
when placed in circumstances of
wealth and freedom. The first time
he saw his cousin Dolly he decided
that she was a very pretty girl, but
shy, and that it would be worth while
20 draw her out.
He found IL not easy; and that, not
vithstanding the fact, had he known
1t, that there was In Dolly's heart an
intense willingness to be drawn out
by Cousin Tom. But that shyness OF
hers was a formidable barrier. She
could not chatter; the thing was i'm
possible. Her silence had been inbred

That Is, the Greek Philosopher Had Many
of His Ideas.
The poet Whittier knew man
wherever he saw him, and, notwith-
standing that he numbered the most
distinguished of his fellow country
men, literary men and reformers
among his friends, never lost his relish
for the conversation and society of
men in the commoner walks of life,
which he recognized as no less vital
and important.
He was fond of haunting a grocery
store not far from his house in Ames-
bury, where, sitting upon barrel or a
pile of boxes, he listened eagerly to
the talk of his neighbors on the ques-
tions of the day and often took part
in the discussions. He used to own
merrily to decided taste for loaf
ing' of this kinda kind which surely
was far from being Improbable in his
case.
He was quick, too, to discover the
intellectual caliber of acquaintances
of unliterary habit. Talking one day
with an old shoemaker. he was sur
prised 10 hear the man advance some
of the theories of Plato. of whom, and,
indeed, of all things classic, Whittier
knew him to be entirely ignorant
'Why, friend" he cried, "thee is a
Platonist!" Seeing that he was not un-
derstood, he began to explain what he
meant; follower of the great Plato.

Thinking it was pity he should re-
main ignorant of his ancient predeces-
sor in opinions nevertheless original,
Mr.. Whittier promised to lend him
some of the works of the Greek phil
osopher, and few days later duly
kept his word. The good man read
them with interest, and returned them
in time to their owner with thanks and
the appreciative comment:

An Idea Which Is Being Developed In
Germany at Present.
Hows that for new idea? But that
is an idea they are developing in Ger
many, and believe 1t is going to do
great things. The object is not to
have the dog jump on man and tear
him to pieces; any uneducated dog can
do that. But he is trained to knock
the criminal down and keep him mo-
tionless until the dogs assistant can
come up with the handouts.
The breed they use are bulldogs al
most exclusively, both on account of
their tremendous jaws, and because q
bulldog loves fight as naturally as an
rishman does. They are very intelli-
gent, and when they have once seized
the idea, they hold on to 1t as they do

The affection of men and women for
animals has led to many strange adj
ventures-and to none more thrilling,
perhaps, than one which occurred late
ly in New York city. In five-story
apartment house, the first floor and
basement were occupied by an apoth-

fierce fro was caused by the explosion
of some chemical preparations; and the
flames spread so rapidly that the occu-

Still severe silence.
Wont you forgive me, Dolly?"
The gray eyes were fixed on the
ground and the pretty lips were
pressed firmly together. He caught
her fingers. She tried to pull them
away, but 1t was useless.
won't you forgive me, Dolly?" he
said again.
She found her voice at length.
II wish you wouldn't make me say
things. OF course forgive you, but
you oughtn't to have done it."
II am really very sorry. Dolly" he
said, repentantly.
Then the snow came down.
There was no mistake about It,,
either; it did come down with VEN
geance. The flakes were nearly as
large as a mans hand, and the sky
was full of them.
Dolly" said Tom, firmly, "you
must take my arm and hold it tightly.
We are going to catch it,"
She took his arm, and he hurried her
along as fast as he could. 1t was no
use. The snow pelted their faces so
severely that in less than two minutes
they were nearly numbed with cold.

He pressed more closely to her. Out

His arm stole round her again. She
made no effort to repulse it. He
looked at her face. The cold had

1t had never looked prettier.

ask what difference there is in brain

on this appellation the field of specu-

a most inviting manner, a tantaliz-

MERELY A BOUNTY.

The legislature, following the
precedents of it's predecessors, has
voted away about $4,000 of the peo-
pies money to pay the expenses of
two or three contests for seats in
that body, and once more the .ques-
ton is raised, where is the limit to
this kind of appropriations? If
every candidate who only lacks
half a dozen votes of election can
carry his case to the Legislature
with the assurance that the expenses
of the contest, whichever way it
goes, will be returned to him, there
would be no apparent reason why
every candidate who is defeated by
a narrow margin should not appeal
his case to the house. He has all
to gain and nothing to lose.
The simple fact is that the GUS
tom is pernicious one, and should
be speedily abolished. There is no
more reason for the payment by the
state of the contest expenses of a
candidate for the legislature than
there would be for the payment of
the same sum by the state to de-
fend the title of man who had
been elected governor When a man
becomes candidate for office he
assumes every responsibility that
the position entails, and one of
these is the payment of his own
expenses, whatever they may be.
The custom is unreasonable and
extravagant, and should never have
been inaugurated; but, since it has
been inaugurated, it ought to be
discontinued at the earliest posi-
bic moment. Take one of the cases
covered by the bill considered yes
terday as an instance of the eXtrav-
agance of the custom, and no further
argument need be had. Mr.. Fur
long is allowed $500 and Mr.. Allen
$1,250 as contest expenses. Add to
this the salary of the successful
candidate, $500, and the footing
shows that it costs the state of Min
nesota $3.50 to have the Third leg
islative district represented in this
house. Were all the districts in the
state correspondence expensive, it
would cost nearly half million dol
lars to seat the house alone. Of
course there is little probability that
such contingency will ever arise, but
the very possibility of such a thing
is enough to drive every business
man in the state to the support of the
position taken by Representative
Robbins in the discussion yesterday,
that the amount of the appropria-
ton should be limited to $500, or,
better yet, entirely abolish the Gus
tom. If it must be voted at all, let
it be done purely and solely as
bounty, and no longer dignity it by
the exalted title of .treir1a hl1rS ar,aert >,

NEW USE FOR CoRoNERs.

The Milwaukee Journal opens up
a new and hitherto unknown and
| UNEMPLOYED field of operations for
that vermiform appendix of our So
cial structure, the coroner Hither-
to that officers functions have been
limited to sitting on corpses made
such by violence, and at one
time, when the sheriff was higher
and mightier officer than now eS-
teemed, the ''crowner" was the only
person who could serve writ or
other legal process on the sheriff.
But the Journal now widens out
the limited sphere of the coroner,
and informs the world that he has
right to examine not only the
corpus, but the corpus delicti'' as
well. He may employ an expert to
dissect the corpus or the deficit, or
both. He may take photographs of
it, or, if the deficit be a serious one,
he may have a chemical analysis
of its different organs. This discov-
cry of the Journal will be hailed
with especial pleasure by the dis
trict attorneys. Heretofore they
have had to hunt up and examine
and dissect and sit on the corpus
deficit themselves. They have had
to bring it into court and exhibit it
to the jury and have the court pass
on it and certify to it's genuineness.
They have had to establish it's ex-
iStence and identity under pain of
being fired incontinently out of
court. They have had to establish
also its locus at the risk of losing
jurisdiction if they did not. From
all this the prosecuting officers will
now be relieved if the discovery
OF the Journal will only hold water.
They need only to summon the cor
oner with a subpoena duces tecum
to bring into court the corpus de-
nct, present it to the court as an
exhibit, have the courts reporter
mark it for Identification; submit
the coroner's experts dissections of
1t, accompanied with photographs
and diagrams and the chemical
analyses that may have been made
OF II, and the corpus deficit will have
been easily, satisfactorily and con-
clusively established, and the trial
may then proceed. We trust that
the Journal will not monopolize its
discovery, as it can, by covering it
with patent or copyright.

Letter Carriers Revolt.

Farmers, Experiment stations.

Probably the most forceful and quick
ly effective speech made in the Mime
sofa legislature two years ago was
that of Hon. H. E. Craig ON the re-
apportionment bill. The Sage of Or
rock carried his point, and it was
largely because he never talks unless
he feels a very deep interest in the
matter under consideration. Mr.. Craig
has made only one speech this session,
and that was delivered Wednesday in
favor of his bill to establish two new
experimental stations. One is to be
located in the Red River valley and
one in the north central part of the
state. The locations are to be Sc
lected by the board of regents of the
state university, and $4,000 is appro-
priated to purchase the sites and erect
suitable buildings; an additional $4,000
is to be allowed for maintaining them
for two years.
Mr.. Craig and other advocates of the
new stations make out a strong case.
They point to the fact that the present
state experiment station is all right for
the eastern and and southern parts OF
the state, because soil and climate are
suited to grow and mature the seeds
sent out by the station. But as you
go north there is a vast amount of
land where the soil is cold clay, and
it is a fact that for probably 400 miles
of the Red River valley it is impossible
to grow corn, except in isolated in
stances, and then in very small guam
titles. The same is true of succulent
grasses Plenty of hay can be gath
cred, but pasturage of even a poor
quality is exceedingly scarce. 1t is
held that the proposed stations could
experiment much more cheaply, and
to far better advantage than the farm
,ers, as to what grasses will grow on the
light, cold soils, and what varieties will
give the best results. If the farmers
in the Red River valley and through
out the northern portion Of the state
can be aided to secure a plentiful
growth of pasture grasses, and can be
reliably Informed as to what seeds
will thrive best in their soil, tremen-
be removed. One acre of good pas
turage land in the southern tier of
counties is as valuable to the farmer
or dairyman as forty acres of the
weedy, dried out pasture land in the
north.
1t is proposed that the experiment
stations shall grow and furnish seed to
the farmers of the state who cannot
use what is sent out from the station
at the university. No charge is to
be made for seed so furnished.
