General harrlSOn'S Book.

The Indianapolis Journal prints this
interesting story concerning ex-Presi-
dent Harrison's forthcoming book:
General Harrison has just completed
the revision of his articles which have
appeared in The Ladies' Home Journal,
making extended notes and additions
to them. There Is a little story IN con-
nection with both articles and pubIica-
ton. When the arrangement for the
articles was made with General Harri-
son by Edward w. Box, editor of The
Ladies' Home Journal, the General was
paid for them, with the understanding
that when they were put into book
form the magazine was to share the roy
alties accrulng therefrom. Mr.. Box.
however, of his own accord, generously
released General Harrison from paying
him any royalty, for the reason, as he
states, that by the publication Of the
articles by General Harrison the sub
scrption list of his magazine was en-
larged many thousands. The profits to
The Ladies' Home Journal were more
than the publishers anticipated, and in
view of this Mr. Box asks nothing fur
Their. General Harrison placed the dis
position of his book in Mr.. Bok's hands.
The best offer came to the editor from
the Scribners, and to them Mr.. Box
gave the book for his distinguished con-
tributor. General Harrison's revision
of the book has just been completed
aud the volume will appear in the aut-
nmn.

To Check Profanity.

In Switzerland. where they have
three languages to curse in, they have
an anti pr ofanity league, pledged to pay
a penny an oath. Whenever one man
hears another swear, he presents one
of the associations cards, and the cusser
is supposed to pay his fine. People
who use the Saint Paul & Duluth Rail
road, or Duluth Short Line, as it is gen.
orally known, never are called upon to
use profanity, because they have such
a good time that they do not feel called
upon to swear. This road Is ALWAYS up
to date in the matter of equipment and
facilities generally, running fast trains
for the accommodation of the business
man and the tourist, to and between st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Super
ior and other important points, making
close connections with boats and trains
running in all directions. 1t is the pop
ular line, as those who have never tried
it before find out. For maps, circulars
and general information apply to ticket
agents or to c. f. Stone, General Pas
senger Agent, st. Paul. MINI.

Minnesota Point.

A visit to Minnesota point-orWiscon-
sin point. for that matter-just now il
we'll worth making. Not mere skip
over and back, but visit of few hours,
at least. This is the month of the blue
berries and the red berries, and the
former are to be seen in great abund-
ance. and later ON the red raspberry
will be ready for use.
A trip from the old lighthouse to Dat
ka beach reveals tho presence of a
number Of cottages not there last
summer. some of the new creations be-
ing particularly handsome, notably the
log cottage lately erected by Mr.. Lewis.
When We say handsome we do not
} mean to say that it is work of art, but
there is a rustic, homelike appearance
about it that captivates your senses,
and you at once catch yourself coveting
| your neighbors little log cottage on Min
nesota point. At least that was our
reporters case as he stood looking at it
and wishing that his best girl lived there
| that he might have an excuse to knock
for admittance. 1t made him think of
new-made butter, homemade bread,
fresh buttermilk aud potatoes with their
jackets on. 1t made him think, too, of
Uncle TOMS cabin and almost imagine
he could zee the coal-black eyes of the
slave peering out through the windows
and hear them dancing as they were
wont to do in the days gone by away
down in old Kentucky.
Client Smiths cottage is another Of
the new ones. and is at present occupied
by himself and friends. Cottages and
tents are strewn at intervals all along
the point from James Bardon's cottage
to Oatka beach, and between busir ess
hours and on Sundays the population is
quite large. The delightful breeze off
the lake and the scent of the flowers,
the trees and shrubbery makes one feel
that life is, at least Whereabouts, "a long
sweet dream" as Grover would say.
Strolling down the lake shore our re-
porter passed Mr.. Bishotf7s large tent,
and noticed that gentleman apparently
taking much comfort out of an easy chair
and a newspaper. Small picnic parties
were to be seen here and there, and not
few busily employed gathering blue
berries.
Oatka beach presented quite an ami
mated scene, as it does every warm
day. The toboggan slide was crowded
all the afternoon by men and boys and
small sprinkllng of women, the latter
seeming to be afraid to venture the de-
scent and the plunge into the water.
The bay WAS alive with people bathing
while others amused themselves look
ing at the bathers or wandered about
among the trees, along the beach, or
listened to the music in the pavilion.
A young lady with kodak was also
noticed taking snap shots at interesting
objects.
Oatka beach is nice place, to be
sure, but it is not in it with the eastern
end of Minnesota point, or Wiscc nsin
point.

A Grand Parade.

This evening (Friday). one of the
most enjoyable and pleasing entertain
ments ever gotten up in Superior will
be held on the bay If the evening is
pleasant. All the sail, and row boats,
steam launches, tugs, and in fact every
kind of boat in the harbor, Will be deco
rated with vari-colored lights, and join
in a procession which will glide down
the bay on the point side as far as the
Superior entry and then circle round 10
the main land. The campers are
arranging for immense bonfires along
the shore, and everybody seems to have
taken considerable interest IN the affair
so that without doubt it will be a grand
success. No one should fail to see the
procession from one side of the bay Oh
the other, if not out on the water.

Fine Special Service.

The services at the First Nj. E. Church
last Sunday evening were of very en-
Joyable nature, excellent music of a
specla! character was rendered and the
solos by Mrs. Smith Mr.. Mason and Miss
Mitchell and the quartette, by Messrs.
Col. George, Harry Austin, 7. R. Chris
tie and Grafton Mason were particular
ly enjoyable. Messrs. Sidney, Whitney
and Tubbs each discoursed for ten min
utes upon the subjects THE Model
Prayer-meeting." 1.-THE Duty of Pastor
to People," and "The Duty of People
to Pastor" Owing to the lateness of
the hour Rev. Tull did not give an item
lied account Of the repair work done
on the church, but stated that it had
cost over four hundred dollars, every
dollar Of which had been paid, and he
had on hand a balance of twenty-five
dollars which he did not know what to
do with, but believed he would with
the consent of the contributors, present
the Young Peoples League with five
dollars, the Ladies' Aid Society with
five dollars, the Sunday school treasurer
with five dollars, and the official board
with ten dollars. Rev. Tull also said in
view of the fact that the improvements
had cost considerable more than he at
first figured upon he wished to cut his
salary one hundred and fifty dollars;
we mention this simply to show the
kind, generous and hard working ma
ture of the pastor of the First NJ. E.
Church, who in the face of considerable
opposition went forward to secure the
funds with which to repair the church,
with the success above chronicled. The
interior of the building is now one of
the prettiest in the city, and everybody
pronounces the church much more at
tractiye than ever before you do not
belong to, or attend any other church
you should visit the First NJ. f.. Church,
where you will receive a hearty well
come and an invitation to come again.
