ALMOST WON AN HEIRESS.
The Extraordinary IInposture Prac-
ticed Upon a Rich Young
Mexican Girl.

After for months impcrsonating a
dead fance and having thereby all but
succeeded in wedding an heiress of the
Mexican capital, handsome and oily
tongued youth of the sister republic
has taken flight, and is believed to be
at present somewhere in this country.
As is common enough in Mexico. the
girl had in infancy been betrothed to
boy of about her own age-the son
of her fathers old friend, who lived
in a distant province. Some months
ago, the young woman. being then of
manageable age, a handsome young
fellow made his appearance at her
fathers mansion in the City of Mexico
and introduced himself as her fiance.
As a matter of fact he was native of
San Luis Potosi, where his father con-
ducts small business. He had plenty
of money, though where he obtained it
is as yet unknown. As was recently
learned, the impostor recently came
into possession of certain documents
belonging to a frontier family which
had once been of great note. Through
these documents the pretender learned
that it had been the intention of the
frontier family and another wealthy
family of the City of Mexico to effect
a matrimonial alliance. A young man
belonging to the frontier family was
to marry young lady belonging to
the wealthy and prominent family of
the capital. But the young people had
never met, and the young girl had
never set eyes even on a photograph of
her intended husband. Subsequent
events interfered with these family
projects. The frontier family fell from
its high position, and the young man
himself died.
When the young adventurer learned
of this history plan occurred TO him
for replenishing his pocket This plan
was no other than the impersonation
of the dead youth from the frontier. He
learned all he could about the family
history of the frontier people, and he
presented himself to the family in the
capital. and by telling them plausible
stories positively succeeded in impos-
ing upon them. But, what was of more
Importance than anything else. he won
his way to the heart of the young lady
Ii is probable that the marriage would
actually have come off had not some
friends of the family heard of the plot
and presented proof positive TO the
young lady's family that her sutton was
an impostor.
As soon as he was thus Gnmasked he
made the best of his way from the
scene of his imposture, and is believed
to have crossed into the United States.
The girls father has declined to prose-
cute him, not caring to drag his daugh-
ter's name into court.-Chicago Chron-

MINNESOTA NEWS.


The board of prison managers, in
their biennial report gave thorough
history of the binder Irvine business
transacted during the past two years,
saying in part:
We have increased the capacity of
our Irvine factory from $500, 900 TO s.
600, 600 pounds per annum, adding new
machinery of latest improved pattern,
and making other important changes
for the gradual extension and improve
ment of the plant. We can say with
pardonable pride that we now have
one of the best Irvine plants of its size
and second to none in the United
Ltates- We have made gradual pro-
gress in the quantity and quality of all
grades of Irvine manufactured, and our
product is now generally conceded to
be as good as the best Irvine that can
be found on the market.
Early the past season the conditions
were as usual Orders for Irvine were
sent in by dealers and in clubs, after
which prices suddenly jumped up. 1t
must be conceded by all fair minded
and honest men that to have Cancelled
the orders which had been received
would have been a great injustice to
honest dealers who could have bought
elsewhere at the time orders were
placed, at prices but little above the
prices finally fixed by the board OF
managers.
The fact that the Irvine industry has
been a success to the state financially
and through it a direct benefit to all
the taxpayers, and by its competitive
effect has held down the prices of other
Irvine sold in the state, ought to be
proof that the affairs of the plant have
been honestly and faithfully con-
dTcted

Was a Success.

The beet sugar factory at st. Louis
Park has closed its first run and the
experiment has proved complete sue
cess. The mill ran night and day for
seventy-fve days, and a daily average
of $50 tons of sugar beets were used.
About 2,500.0 900 pounds of sugar were
manufactured, and nearly all was sold
in the Twin Cities. So great was the
demand for the native Minnesota pro-
duct that the managers of the St. Louis
Park plant were compelled to go into
the market themselves to fill requisi-
tions from outside points.
The farmers who sold beets to the
factory received on an average of 81
ton and are well satisfied with their
part in building up the new industry.
One hundred and ten men were en-
ployed by the mill when in operation.
Next year the mill will probably run
at least 160 days and use 400 tons of
beet roots daily. The managers of the
plant hope that the farmers will see
the advisability of keeping the factory
well supplied. The beets raised this
year contained a larges quantity of
saccharine matter than those of any
other state except California.

A HYMN THAT HELPED.

In an interesting article, entitled
Hymns that Helped" published in Me
Cures Magazine, w. T. Stead tells this
strange story, legend of Germany:
In a village near Warsaw there lived
a pious German peasant named Dobyr.
Without remedy, he had fallen into ar
rears of rent, and his landlord threaten
ed to evict him. 1t was winter. Thrice
he appealed for respite, but in vain. 1t
was evening, and the next day his
family were to be turned into the snow.
Dobyr kneeled down in the midst of his
family. After prayer they sang;
Commit thou all thy grief
And ways into his hands.
AS they came to the last verse in Ger
man, Of part /.
When Thou wouldst all our needs sup
ply;
Who, who shall stay Thy hand?
there was knock at the window close
by where he knelt, and, opening it, Dobyr
was met by a raven, one which his
grandfather had tanned and set at hber-
ty. In its bill was a ring, set with
precious stones. This he took to his
which said at once that it be-
longed to the king, Stanislaus, to whom
he returned it, and related his story.
The king sent for Dobyr, and beside re-
warding him on the spot built for him,
next year, a new house, and, stocked his
cattle stalls from the royal domain. Over
the house door on an iron tablet, there
is carved a raven with ring in its
beak, and underneath this address to
Dinvine Providence:
Thou everywhere hast sway,
And all things serve Thy might;
Thy every act pure blessing is,
Thy path unsulled light.
