MISPLACED HAIRS.
Clarence Was Too MischievOus for
the General Good.

In an insurance office in the city is
blonde-haired, good-looking steno-
grapher, also an Office boy, who shall be
known in this story as Clarence. Now,
Clarence and the blonde didn't get
along well together. No matter why
they didn't. Matters came to such
pass that Clarence said to the girl:
"I'll git you fired fore many weeks,
see''
II guess not" said the girl. "I'm just
as solid with the old man as you are"
Thus matters stood for a time.
Clarence went to the Mushroom every
day after the blonde had been there
primpipg, and he made it point TO
gather every blonde hair that had adj
hered to the bristles of the brush.
These, or some of them, he deftly placed
on the coat of the old man, arranging
them about the collar and shoulders.
There they remained until the old mar
went home. Here they attracted some
attention from his wife, and she re-
moved them day by day without say
ing word. When she had gathered q
fairly good collection she called hub
by's attention to the lock of blondined
hair.
There" she said, 81 never did have
any use for that girl; and now you can
discharge her instantly, or l will come
down and do it myself"
Of course, the girl had to skip, and
the old gentleman explained the circum-
stances. Clarence overheard the ex-
PLANTATION and chuckled. He wanted to
tell the girl all about the trick, but he
was afraid that it would cost him his
job, so he let the matter drop. But he
did give the thing away to clerk, and
the clerk told the old man, and he didn't
do thing to Clarence. He scared ths
boy nearly to death talking about
divorces and family jars, and for a
punishment he made the boy go to his
house, and explain the whole thing to
his wife. This brought peace to the
family, and in justice the girl was re-
employed. All is serene in the Office
now, but Bertha never speaks to

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS
The state Wins.

Secretary Bliss decided the case Of
the state of Minnesota VS.. John Long,
John Caldwell ct al, involving large
interests in Minnesota, and of extreme
significance as precedent. The case
came from the Duluth land district,
and the decision of the general land
Office. which rejected the state claims
to the land at issue, is largely modified.
The issue was the construction of tho
act OF March 8. 1879, which allowed
the state to select "a sections out of
any public lands, to be selected by the
governor, within three years of the APP
prevail of the act. The general land
Office held the three year proviso to be
mandatory; the secretary of the trea-
sury now contrues it to be directory,
permitting later selection on presenta-
ton of any reasonable excuse for de-
lay.

They are Smart.

An odd result of the raising of the
waters of Leech and other lakes, by
the government dams, is that when
the bordering meadow lands became
submerged they did not long remain at
the bottom, but rose to the new sur
face. and many large tracts go floating
here and there, blown by the winds.
The Indians, foreseeing the drowning
of their hay lands, fled and were al
lowed claims for consequential dam
ages. They were also prompt in dis
covering that the lands could not be
kept down; and now they go right
along and cut hay and stack it where
cut, and haul away the crop when the
ice becomes of safe thickness. Some
of these floating islands carry thirty or
forty large haystacks.
