leaves Minneapolis and st. Paul every
night for Chicago, via the Northwestern

mammoth engine, patterned after the ia
nous 1890" to the last car in the train,
is brand new, and represents the latest
and best ideas for absolute comfort and
luxury while travelling.
Besides the splendid buffet library car
really "a clubroom on wheels, there is II
magnificent private compartment sleep
ing car, just the thing for ladies, famil-
les or those desiring privacy, luxuriously
appointed standard sleeping cars and the
most comfortable and well-equippcd day
coaches ever offered the travelling public.
This "New Limited" train is admitted
by the press as well as by thousands of
people of Minnesota and states west who
have inspected it, and also by many
others of this western country who have
recently rode On it, as being without any
question the finest tram in the world,
and no extra charge is made for any class
of passengers for its superior accommo-
dations.
Tickets via this popular line may be
secured from agents of the Northern Pa
cific railway, who will also make sleep

A Sewing Match.

The Ladies of the M%accabees gave an
entertainment Tuesday evening to the
Sir Knights in the nature of an apron
social, which was an excellent affair.
The gentlemen were enlisted in a con-
test at hemming aprons the result of
which was a close decision. The COM
mittee found that there was no best job
among the aprons which the men had
hemmed. 1t further found that all of
the work was the worst, except George
McGibbon's whose was pronounced next
to the worst, and then he got first prize,
a fancy smokers set. 1t was harder still
to establish the guilt that would locate
the winner of the BOBBY prize; but final
ly the ladies decided hat it was impos-
sible for anyone to do a worse job of
sewing than John Adamson had done,
so he was awarded the BOBBY prize, a
huge brass thimble.
A fine lunch followed the sewing
match, after which dancing was INDUCED
in to settle the lunch. AS entertainers
the L. o. 7. M. are in the front rank.

THE DUEL AT BlLLVILLE.

Did you hear about the duel in Billville-on-the
Bend
How two combatants cruel fought the fight
unto the end;
How Hhey set the women screamin at the
deadly pistols sound
And wounded all the barn doors for many
yards around?
The mayor had told the major he was never
in the war;,
Had never heard a drum beat or a battle can
non roar,
Had staid at home hurrahing while his coun'
try fought and bled,
And the major in his anger broke a fence rail
on his head
Then the mayor he sent a challenge for to
fight till they were blue,
And both selected pistols and a whisky jug or
two,
And they got a dozen umpires and stood upon
the square
And peppered everything in sight and wound
ed lots of air.
They shot a train a-runnin and left it in the
lu-ch,
Broke six postofioe windows and winged the
Baptist church,
And a funeral procession that was struggling
through the throng
Had several mourners wounded and took one
more corpse along.
They fred for an hour as fast as they could
load,
They wounded all the wagons that were rum
bin down the road,
They shot the sheriff in the leg and rolled him
on the clover,
And then they hit the coroner and gently
turned him over.
The people wired the governor, he called out
the brigades,
And the boys bore down upon 'em with mus.
kets and with blades,
And the wild mayor and the major they left
the town by stealth,
But not fore they had both shook hands and
drunk each others health.

The Professors Mistake.

An amusing story is told about a
professor. The learned gentleman has a
wife and family; but, professorlike, his
thoughts are always with his books.
One evening his wife, who had been
out for some hours, returned to find the
house remarkably quiet. She had left
the children playing about, but now
they were nowhere to be seen.
She demanded to be told what had
become of them, and the professor e.
planned That as they had made a good
deal of noise he had put them to bed
without waiting for her or calling a
maid.
II hope they gave you no trouble"
she said.
"No," replied the professor, with
the exception of the one in the cot here.
He objected a good deal to my undress-
ing him and putting him to bed"
The wife went to inspect the cot.
