John NJ. MICHAEL, n wealthy ium-
x herman of Minnesota. was the center
OF an interesting group at the Ma
tionai last night. The conversation irifted
to the subject Of practical jokes and their
results. when Mr.. Michael related the
following story:
"Out in the timber camps OF Minnesota
the men who handle the big logs are known
as hoo hoos. Some of these men save con-
siderable money, and as banks are few and
far between in that region they carry their
wealth around with them. A number Of
years ago one OF the boys invested his
savings in a diamond stud. The stone was
n valuable one, and the possessor of it was
constantly afraid OF losing it. The thought
struck me tifat it would be a good idea to
take the jewel and let the owner think it
had been stolen.
Il let the other fellows into my confi-
dence, and they all agreed that it would
be good Joke, so that night when Joe
went to sleep slipped into his cabin and
soon had the sparkle in my possession 1
went to bed chuckiing at the thoughts OF
what he would say in the morning when
he discovered his. loss.
''In the Nighttime he rest OF the gang had
determined to turn the joke On to me. Joe
was told ABOUT the scheme. and one OF the
boys managed 70 get the diamond out of my
pocket while Lay dreaming OF my frerd's
discontinue. The next morning, in ac-
cordance with the concoctod plan. and OF
which was ignorant, Joe made a great
fuss about the loss of his $500 stone.
81 let him go on for awhile, and then ran
my hand into my pocket for t he purpose Of
returning it to him and thus relieve his
anxiety. or course, the diamord was not
there. Then 1t was my turn to think, only
this time it was genuine. The idea of pay
Ing $500 for joke was by no means pleas
ant, yet saw no other way out OF the
dIlemma.-I suggested that, as the others
Ind been in the joke, we all chip in ard
raise the money, offering to start the SUBJ
scription with $50. or course, they would
not listen to this. and / had about made up
my mind to part with my haid-carned cash,
when the diamond was produced. The feel
ing Of relief at the sight of this little trinket
Is beyond expression. and. although the loss
Of $500 now would not cause me to lay
awake nights. was forever cured OF
playing practical Jokes"

the Casino by Messrs. Gray and Blais-
dell.
Work was commenced on Monday on
the bicycle house. which will be 87x3l
feet in size.
Yesterday the cars to Rivervtop were
we'll filed, and those who visited the
park found the air delightfully."- cool and
invigorating, in marked contrast to the
oppressive heat of the city.
Many private parties visited the park
during the aftern DON and evening, and
spent few hours on the river, seated
on the broad piazzas OF eating one of
Dan" Smiths fine dinners. This din
ing at the Riverton pavilion has become
a regular fad ameng society people and
business men.
The Japs should be seen by not only
every child but by adults. Their per
formances are really remarkable. We
desire to impress this fact on the minds
of our readers. 1t would cost a half dol
lar ticket to see these people at Eega
lar theatre in the winter season.
Last night the social party, of which
Mr.. Geo. F.Noyes had charge, composed
of society people, had delightful trolly
ride to the Park and dance at the CAST

latter lake is even more beautiful than
its sisters above. The wild forests clothe
all the mountains around, and the only

these camps are very pretentious. That
