Hints.

Every man should be able to make
his clothes.
In the long winter evenings, after
the days work is done, an indus
trious man can make pair of trous-
ers in an evening or two, and a
coat in less than week.
With due observation to the pre-
vailing fashions these homemade
garments have as stylish an air as
need be desired. and give the wearer
that air of careful neatness SO in
dispensable to attractive manhood.
Old coats can be made to look
we'll and do service another season
by making them over and using
some inexpensive material for col
lars and lapels.

The New Woman,

1t s time the new woman was coming.
Or the coming woman new,
For the old one is getting weary
And her patience is most worn through:
She Is done baking and washing and milking
With spinning to fill up her cup
But the new woman, she comes In riding

But say to the coming woman
Shed better look out when she comes
want half the road when travel
No matter how fast the wheel huns.
The old woman may be a-going,
But this thought on her mind may dawn
The coming new woman had better,
Go slo y till the old one is gone.

Some Reasons Why Men are Thankful.
A man should be thankful that
he is not a woman.
That he is considered intelligent
enough to vote.
That when there are difficult
problems to be solved, he finds wise
counsel in the weaker sex.
That women are as submissive as
they are.
That two heads and two hearts
working together will unravel most
difficulties.
That owing to good understand
ings they get along better than
women, and are not so hard on shoe
leather.
That on this THANKSGIVING day
he is neither turkey nor an oyster.

servative people, unable or unwill-
ing to see the march of progress,
who deprecate this portentous de-
velOpment of industry among men.
But it is a credit to our American
men that the kitchen, the sewing
room and the milliner shop find
them the same as on the battle
field, capable of accomplishing
T! whatever they undertake. no mat
ter how small it may be.
When we think of our brother.
man, we exclaim with Shakespeare.
"What a piece of work is man..
and the wish comes to us that the
great writer had tod us the differ
ence between man and gentle
man. But perhaps our own ma
tural instinct is our best adviser in
this matter. in connection with the
fact that the man who procla;ms
himself Il gentleman usually has no
claims to the title. His conceit
gives him free right of passage
Everywhere, artl he expects the
weaker sex to do him homage. He
is sure that any girl would feel
hOnored to have him, if only to es-
cape the Odium of old maidenhood.
and he struts about the world with
the all cOnquering air of a certain
barnyard autocrat.
In the worlds broad field of battler
| In the barnyard of life,
Be no; like dumb driven cattle
| Be a gobbler in the strife.
| Another of this class who doubt
less will lay claim to the title of
gentleman" because of his ac-
complishments, is the one who, be-
fore starting up the street for a
walk, prepares his luxury which is
to pass off in smoke. Could one
who had never witnessed such Il
performance behold him. he would
think the object was propelled by
steam power, and that what could
be seen was the body in motion,
and the smoke escaping from a
smokestack. Men, why teach our
| boys that such things are manly. or
Igentlemanly.
i A Mesopotamian, in lecturing on
the bad habits of Americans. spoke
severely against the tobacco habit,
and declared that if God Almighty
had intended any man to smoke,
He would have provided him with
a chimney hole on the top of his
head.
i We hope a few sisterly sugges-
tions will not be amiss. We want to
tell the brothers that it is not polite
to make the streets and public places
SO offensive to ladies by the color
and tracks of mans expensive lux
ury. Men speak very sneeringly
and unkindly of their sisters who
have adopted the new style of dress
and do not seem to observe that
boomers are more practical for
street when lady's dress has to be
carried to be kept out of filth, thus
causing the wearer great inconyen-
fence, and the garment that was so
carefully constructed that it would
fall into stylish ripples and hand
some gOdets, loses its effect en-
tirely.

walks, SIS, 1856. "a for work on the streets
and 81, $50. go for lumber. Speaking of
the prospective opening of new streets
the city engineer says,
"The opening of Poplar street in
Cummings addition has been under
consideration by the council and
board of public works, but is
not yet an accomplished fact.
The opening and grading of
this street in connection with
Mound Avenue as extended to e
Street from the west is an important
matter. This work can be done at a
very moderate cost, and would be of
great value in furnishing a new and
direct route from Front street to Sib-
ley Park, and would also be very
favorable line for water mains to
West Mankato. The extension of
Shaubut Street to Wizards Addition
has been graded and opened for travel
this season.

PUSH HIM ALONG.
Tobacco Man Gets Into
Trouble.
ii. Strahler, a Scion of The Tobacco
Trust, is Ordered Out of The Saul
paugh For Unseemingly Conduct,
According to the Landlord.

A travelling man named III. Strah-
Ter, representing the American To-
bacco company, was ordered out of The
Saulpaugh yesterday morning for I'M
seemingly conduct.
Strahler has been travelling into
Mankato for some time and has
drummed up considerable business
here. But he is "foXy" kind of a
young man, and his freshness has at
last entangled him in quite mess.
He arrived in town about a week
ago, stopping at The Saulpaugh. He
made no breaks until Monday night,
when, according to the following
story of the affair by Clarence Saul
paugh he commenced pushing good
thing along:
''Late Monday night" said Mr..
Saulpaugh, zone of the dining room
girls passed Strahler's room on the
way to her own. Strahler hailed her,
and on pretense of showing her his
wife's picture in his watch case pulled
her into the room. He closed and
locked the door and pushed the bed
stead against it and refused to let the
girl out.
"Along toward morning a Mr..
Ewing, who occupied the ad-
joining room, heard the girl
crying bitterly. He rang the bell and
the night clerk came up, but Strahler
said in response to the clerks rap
Oh the door that he was busy and did
not intend to open the door.
''1n the morning the girl came
down to the office and reported the
case, and Strahler was told that he
was no longer wanted in the house.
He left town two hours later"
Strahler told his side of the story
yesterday with some vehemence. He
admitted having the girl in the room
but denied that she was forced inside
the door. 81 am a gentleman" he
urged, and he referred to young
OooihNoS liloh III OIlC ClOJ "lUu w Hull
he had done business to back his
statement. ''The girl is afraid of the
night clerk, and she told me herself
that he had been following her about
the house and watching every move
she made. She knew his step, she
said, and it was at her request that l
refused to open the door," and he
begged that the affaieAH kept out of
the newspapers. mr.
Strahler stopped at the Stahl house
on his last visit to the city in Deem
Der, and Joseph Stahl stated yester-
day that he had no time for the fell
low. 'sHe gave one of our girls pair
OF gloves to be pressed" he said, land
told her to bring them up to his room
at 2 O'Clock that afternoon. When
the girl brought them up his conduct
was far from that of a gentleman, and
before he left the girls were all afraid
to go up stairs to even make up the
beds"

A PROFITABLE EVENING.
The Social Science Club Reviews
kidd'S Social Evolution.

Notwithstanding the cold weather
and the prevailing storm, there was a
large attendance out at the meeting
of the Social Science Club Tuesday
and most interesting and profitable
meeting was had. Prof. O'Shea read
a well prepared paper reviewing Ben
jamin Kidd'S book, Social Evolution"
In a very condensed form, which was
necessary in the limited time granted
him, Mr.. O'Shea presented in good
shape the main ideas of Mr.. Kidd's
book and his study of society, a brief
idea OF which we give below. The
book is a remarkable work, has at
tracted, and is still bound to attract
great attention from all interested
in sociological questions. Mr.. Kidd
holds in very strong way to the doc
trine of evolution as applied to society
and believes that man is developing
without his conscious aid toward an
ideal social condition which he has
not yet realized. This condition is
not socialism, which he holds if real
lied would at the best secure material
comfort only, for one of its conditions
would be the aboliShing of COMPETE
tiOn which would necessarily stop
progress of which he holds compet-
tion is the necessary method. The
condition which he holds society will
reach will not be one Of positive social
equality, but one of equal social po-
pOrtunities," and claims that since
the reformation the whole white race
has been steadily fighting its way in
that direction. This form of equality
will result in the raising of the con-
dition of the laboring classes, at the
expense of the higher classes and this
he says has been going steadily on I'M
consciously. Thus the reform will
really come or start from the top
rather than from the bottom. The
great force which is accomplishing
this result, he holds, is religion. The
Christian religion has developed a
character which is the most efficient
on the globe, and he holds that.it is
the evolution of character and not of
intellect which secures efficiency.
Through this character as developed
by Christianity, altruism has been
born, and this is the effective cause of
the great social changes which have
taken place and which are still going
on. This is the force which has
caused the 'power holding classes" ITO
cOncede more and more to the masses.
and so narrow the gulf which exists
between them, and so he holds that
they will gradually concede all that is
necessary to the new society to which
the white race is marching, and which
he thinks they will reach in peace.
An interesting discussion fol-
lowed, which covered number Of
scientific points, and the evolution of
society was somewhat illustrated by
quite discussion on the condition of
the American Indian, and his capa-
bility of being civilized.
The next meeting will be held on
Feb. 10, when Mr.. G. FL. Higgs will
read paper on "Interest."

HUMANE MATTERS.
Arrangements Made For Incorporating
Committee on New Members.

COMMITTEE on New Members.
There was a good turnout at the
Humane meeting Monday night The
members were called together to dis
cuss Incorporation.
The society had intended to be in
under the Incorporation laws some
time ago, but the report of the Secre-
tary of state had compelled them to
adopt different measures than were at
first intended. In answer to their
letter of enquiry about his custom in
such cases, and whether or not the by
laws as well as minutes were recorded,
the secretary of the state referred the
society to the law with which the
members are already familiar, leaving
the Mankato humanitarians to their
own devices.
Various plans for incorporation were
eXhaustively discussed, at the end of
which scheme was derived whereby
the society intends to reach a definite
understanding within week.
Officer SheldOn'S two months work
was reviewed at length, and the mem
bers expressed themselves as highly
satisfied with his showing in caring
for the needy and in showing mercy
to dumb animals.
A committee consisting of Madames
Craig and Andrews and Officer Shell
don was appointed to canvass for new
members.
