innocent Little Party Gets College
Boys and Maidens In Trouble.

NORTHFIELD, Mimi, March IA
sensational affair occurred in this CITY
last week, and is just now coming to
Hght. 1t has caused no end of gossip
among society people and the faculty
OF Carleton college is stirred up to a
considerable extent. In fact, nothing
since the famous Northfield bank rob-
berry by the James gang and Younger
brothers has created so much havoc in
this beautiful city. 1t appears that
young man, who makes his headquar-
terS In Minneapolis, but whose home
Is In NOrthfield, came here some DAYS
ago, and finding that his mother, who
is widow, was spending the winter
elsewhere, conceived the idea that it
would be an excellent time to entertain
a limited number of his young college
friends, both male and. female. Ac-
cordingly, quiet tip was given to a
falr maiden who attends Gridley hall
that he would throW open the doors of
his mothers palatial mansion, and he
would be pleased if she and a few of
her companions would accept his hos
pitality from to in the afternoon
on certain day. Several young men
attending Carleton college were also
invited to be on hand. The afternoon
arrived, likewise the young ladies and
the young gentlemen arrived at the
home where the festivities were to take
place They did not go to the house
in a bunch, but went there by singles
and doubles. They passed the after
noon in very enjoyable manner, in
dulging in those innocent pastimes
such as delight the hearts of young
people, About D: m. the party broke
up, after partaking of dainty lunch
served by the young host. Nothing
more was thought of the affair for sew
eral days. One fine morning the first
of this week the preceptress of Gridley
hall received an anonymous letter from
female who lives near the house in
which the party occurred, informing
the head of the young ladies' seminary
of the affair and giving the names of
the participants. The young ladies
were called before the preceptress, and
she delivered to them a severe lecture
and then proceeded to punish the al
legged criminals in various ways. One
of the maidenS was banished to a farm
near Red Wing, where she will remain
in SecluSion for two weeks. Two 9TH
ers were sentenced to eat their meals
at the second table" and will not be
permitted to associate with the other
young ladies in the school for the bal
ance of this term. One or two of the
girls were suspended from the institu-
ton.
While the preceptress at Grid1ey hall
was dealing out sentences to the young
ladies, the faculty of Carleton college
was holding a redhot session, discuss
ing the manner in which the guilty
young gentlemen should be dealt with.
The result was that Prof. Goodhue was
instructed to take charge Of the mat
ter. He did So and now several young
fellows are attending other educational
institutions in the Northwest.
While the faculty of Carleton college
and Gridley hall are trying to keep the
whole matter quiet, the affair is the
talk of the town, and has caused a
great sensation.

The community is pre-eminently

general idea of the work is best con-

the year past.

A SWEETHEART.

My Nesca is a poets dream,
A lyric sweet and true;
Her heart of COLDS ballad old
Whose music thrills me through.
MY Nesca's eyes like twin stars rhyme
Beneath brow of snow;
Her dimpled hands a sonnet grand.
Her hair silk rondeau.
Her rese-lit cheeks two love songs are.
Faultless her tiny feet;
In burning rhyme l say that time
Ne'er saw maid half so sweet.
And yet, despite the fact that she
Is naught save poetry,
Despite her rhymes, find at times
She's not adverse to me.

DIR. Dobbin, an old-iashioned clergy
man OF Dublin, was noted for his kind
ness to the poor and for his simplicity in
trusting them. Once a man was beg
ging at the clergymar's carriage win
dow. Having no change about him, he
handed the beggar guinea, saying:
go, my poor man, get me change for
that and will give you shilling" He
never saw The beggar's face again. One
day his wife, on coming home, found
him in the hall with his hands behind
his back, as if hiding something. She
insisted on knowing what it was, and he
timidly brought out from behind his
back a roasted leg of mutton. He had
quietly taken it from, the spit in the
kitchen to give to poor woman wait

mourn with our dear sister that she is
leaving us, but to rejoice with her that
the voice of ner Lord is calling her
home, that the gates of the City Ra-
diant are parting for her entrance. 1t
needs no sermon to sanctify this gath
ering. We all know that she has lived
so near the Lord that His summons is
to her but welcome home, and that
His hand is outstretched in greeting to
her. We have witnessed the weary
probation so patiently served, and
there are many here for whom these
busy hands have wrought on the sick
bed. We have come to bear her loving
companionship to the threshold and to
rejoice that for her the way is SO
smooth"
Then followed the reading of IA
vorite Psalm, with a brief exposition.
The selected hymns were sung, and
when their echoes had floated out upon
the summer air, the minister said:
"The friends will please walk around
through the hall in the usual manner
to greet our sister. She cannot shake
hands nor even speak to you, but she
wants to see you all"
1t was strange, tenderly silent pro-
cession that passed in last review be-
fore those clear, gray eyes, so soon to
look upon the Unrevealed, and many
a face answered Janev's smile that she
had not seen since her youth. When
the concourse had filed out and were
exchanging hushed greetings in the
yard, tall man, stranger, who had
driven fine span of blacks, crossed
the room and bent over her.

She gave soft, glad little cry. "Oh,

hands. He took them in his strong ones
and, STOPPING, kissed her solemnly.
"Good-by." she whispered.
She watched him pass ont of the
door and closed her eyes with sigh
of ineffable peace.
The doctor, sitting beside her, laid
his hand upon her wrist.

THE BLEACHER.

On mountain bare and field grass-shorn,
On hedgerow, bright with bloom newborn
In frowning winters tempests rude,
In smiling summers kindly mood.
Meath morning ray and starry light,
The bleacher tolls through day and night.
AYE, white and whittier still!' cries he.
"As white as snow my work must be-"
Upon the warp and woof new-spun,
Fall chill of frost and fire OF sun,
The bitter storms relentless pain,
The gentle dew and nursing rain,
The while the bleachers watchful eye
Each spot and blemish doth descry.
without a blot or fault" cries he,
GAS pure as snow, my work shall bers
Unwearied plies his skillful hand.
Fulfilling all his thought hath planned.
Nor doth the bruised fax complain,
Or question aught he may ordain,
But meekly yields each fold and shred,
Until the cleansed and chastened thread,
Transformed to stainless, lustrous white,
Shines in effulgent beauty bright
We stand bewildered with our woe
Gods mysteries we may not know
The fiery trial, whose keen dart
Doth pierce and burn our inmost heart
Old disappointment blighting chill,
Dark sorrows storms-all do His will;
For bleached at last we all must be,
If we His purity would see!

RICH MANS APOLOGY.
Why He Pinned 500 Bill to the Baby
Dress.

Dress.
Among the many passengers on a
Union Pacific train was a travelling
man, an eastern capitalist, and a young
lnan with child. The train was two
sons who have made this trip realize
how tired the passengers must have
been, especially those who travelled
from the far east. The babe was cross,
fretful and irritable, like most babies
generally are, and often it's cries could
be heard all over the car. The father,
for such the young fellow proved to be,
did everything in his power to quiet
the child, but without success, and for
hours the passengers withstood the tor
ture without murmur. The capitalist
was one of those cranky individuals,
and moved his seat a number of times,
but go where he would the pitiful cries
of the child reached him.
Finally he lost his patience, and with
his face red with anger walked up to
the seat occupied by the young father.
Take that brat to it's mother" he
exclaimed loud enough for everybody
il, the car to hear. What the deuce
do you mean by keeping it here and dis
turbing everybody in the car? No
doubt she's asleep and cares little
whether the baby annoys US or not"
The father slowly raised his eyes,
and as he did SO the tears trickled down
his cheeks like rain. Finally he spoke,
but it was with great effort.
MY wife," he said, sis in her coffin in
the baggage car. l don't know much
about children, but am doing the best
/ cam
The capitalists face was a study He
saw that it would be useless to offer an
apology, and without saying word he
walked back to his seat. The passen-
gers could see that he was deeply
moved, and what his thoughts were
can better be imagined than expressed.
The travelling man, who occupied the
seat behind the father, reached over
and said:
Let me take your child. I have a
little girl at home, and maybe l can
quiet yours"
Without a word the father handed
the child over the seat to him. The
youngster watched the transaction
with wondering eyes, and for a mo-
ment was inclined to cry. Then it be-
came interested in his watch charm,
and in little while was asleep The
loud talk was hushed and even the
poker party broke up. The father also
dropped asleep, and while he was en-
joying his much-needed rest the cap
italist walked to the seat in which the
baby was cuddled up. Long and earn
estly he gazed at the innocent face,
and there was something about his
eyes which looked like tears. The pas
sengers saw him reach in his pocket,
and when he drew it out again the fin
gers clutched 500 bill. This he
pinned to the child's dress and re-
turned to his seat. This was his way
of soothing the wounded feelings Of
its father.-IndianapOlis Sentinel.
