HIS FAIRY BOARDERs.
In Trying to Save the House He Drove
Them All Away.

In Trying to Save the House He Drove
Them All Away.
According to his story, the whole trouble
arose from the fact that he failed to make
any stipulation as to weight when he ad.
vertised for summer boarders. OF course
no one else ever does nything of that sort,
but that has nothing to do with this par
ticular case. The letter said that gentle
man and his wife and four young ladies
wished to secure board on the shores Of the
lake for the month of August, and visions
of sylphlike beauties with small appetites
foated through the mind of the proprietor
of the place.
1t is so much more pleasant to have
young ladies than young men around" he
said young men are inclined to ''e
rough and smash things just in the exuber-
ance of their spirits Young ladies are
much more satisfactory boarders at quiet
little place like this, and I've cut the rate
little to get this party
They came, and an hour later the pro-
prietor was seen out behind the kitchen
trying to kick himself. The head Of the
family weighed $50 pounds, his wife weigh
ed trife more, and the most sylphlike Of
the daughters wasn't an ounce under $50.
just to show what she could do the fairy
of the party had thrown herself into ham,
mock belonging to one Of the other board
ers, and the proprietor realized at once that
the fastenings would have to be replaced
at his expense. Between breakfast and
dinner three hammocks came down, and
the rest were only saved by prompt action
on the part Of their owners.
After dinner rustic bench went down
under the weight of the four girls, and
little later one Of them tried to sit down
on a pretty little railing that had been
put around a flower bed. She landed
among the flowers, and there was some
talk of lawsuit growing out of damage
TO her clothing.
Sentiment oyercame the four as dusk
came on, and they tried the dreamy waltz
on little observation stand, ending with
something in the line Of fancy dance
Fortunately they all landed on their feet
when the stand came down, but they were
angry nevertheless, and they promptly
started on the warpath after the proprietor.
They found him laboriously dragging a
big piece of scantling in the direction of
the house.
"Don't bother me now" he cried. "I've
got to get the house propped up before bed
time if I'm going to save it. -
That was why they left.-Chicago Post

COUNTRY AGAIN THREATENED.
A letter Which Has Created Some Stir in
Grand Army Circles.

st. Paul, Mimi, Septeinb Der IA
great deal Of feeling was engendered in
Grand Army circles yesterday by the
circulation of a letter addressed to all

was signed by Daniel E. Siokles, Horace
Porter. Franz Sigel,sO, o. Howard, Will

prominent officers in the war
The letter in part is as follows:
"Your country is again in peril In

intesi he government. The men
who red the call to put down the
Rebellion and save the Union have lost
none Of their love for their country and
their devotion to the flag they fought to
uphold and they see in the present
effort an attempt to tarnish tie great
name of tie republic and break down its
most cherished institutions.
Comrades you believe in liberty under
law, public order in the maintenance of
cur courts OF Justice and in national
honor and goou faith. You are IN.
alterably opposed to the flag OF anarchy
and mob rule. We believe that you re-
sent with eaTnestness all attacks upon
the executive and judicial departments
of ouI government and commend all
measures which indicate the supremacy
of law and restore public ordeS whenever
endangered.
Feeling assured that in this crisis, you
and the union veterans of the late war
ars almost unanimously united in favor
of an honest government and in faithful
adhsTeuce TO the principles for which we
contend, we appeal to you to lay asine
all parEy differences, to prefer your ooun-

OF the OWL war and rally to the support
Of our gallant comrade, Maj, Mckinley. "
