A NEW WOMAN.

She's MP to date and strictly new,
And yet she's not afiame with zeal. t'4sa
She wears no skirt that's sew eli in two, :;
She is not skilled to ride wheel. =
Her sex's wrongs she does not feel. t'f
No public scheme her thotghts pursue
And yet, the fact can't conceal,
She's very new.
Her souls ideals are scant and few,
Yet not by man is she controlled,
And, though her eyes are deeply blue.
No occult force her glances hold.
She cares not for the days of old,
Nor does the future charm her view.
She does not work for fame or gold,
And yet she's new.
ALI homage at her shrine is due.
Her claim no mortal dares to scorn.
She from the infinite takes her cue.
She's fresh as earth's primeval morn.
She faces life with powers unworn,
For, now to prove my statements true,
It's scarce ono moon since she was born.
You see, she's newt

Some letters from the fair sex caused
Sir Walter Scott at least as much amuse.
ment as annoyance. In his earlier years
"a mad woman from about Alnwick, :"
by dint of letters and plans, first ex-
tracted from him a guinea for charity,
then sent him the manuscript of curl
GUS novel, which he was to publish in
his own name, and Of which he was to
take half the profits. Finally, ON his de-
clining the partnership, she suggested he
should take shares in q medicine for
babies, her own invention. Dread of
anticipation in "such a Herodlike
~ drove Scott to decline the honor
- sfuture correspondence with the lady.
y On March day in his fatal year,
1896, Sir Walter answered two modest
requests from widow ladies. One Of
these, presuming on a former slight &C.
quaintance with his mother, desired
that he should impress ON Peel, then
home secretary, the merits of her second
son, whom he was to represent as eft
for any situation in public office.
The second lady, who had already Pc
rused "Marmion' and 1.-THE Lady of
the Lake, engaged, in return for suit
able provision for her sons education,
to read all her beuefactor' S other works.
After dealing with these letters, Scott
felt himself constrained to record his
conviction that your destitute widow,
especially if she hath charge of chill
dren and one or two fit for patronage, is

in the future under the firm name OF
Lamm Bros. The young men have

years and know the business very
thoroughly, and are able to carry it
on successfully. They are pleasant
young men to meet, and will.no doubt

Leo Lamm has earned a rest by his
long and steady devotion to business,

STOLE BRASS.
Tramps Arrested in connection with
Stealing at KasOta.

Stealing at kas0ta.
Chief Wagon and Officer Daniels
rounded up two tramps Friday
near Bradley's crossing, and locked
them up on suspicion of being con-
nected with the stealing on Wednes-
day of a quantity of brass fixtures
from the G. & N. W. road at Kasota.
Some excellent detective work was
done on the case. Officer Daniels
was notified at two o'clock Thursday
afternoon by Pawnbroker Salet that
some strangers had represented to
him that they had large quantity Of
brass which they wished to dispose
of, and he had suspicious that il was
stolen, as he had been notified of the
Kasota theft.
Mr.. Daniels ascertained that a man
named Johnson, who buys old iron
and rags, was going to bring the brass,
and he told Johnson to wait until
seven o'clock Friday morning before
starting. That morning the two off,
GERS, disguised as farmers, followed
Johnson's wagon to Bradley's cross
ing, and hid behind a bank, where
they saw two men pull out couple
of heavy sacks of brass from under a
pile of ties and put them into the
wagon. Then the officers arrested
the men and brought them to the
city.
The men gave their names as VIM.
Baker, of Minneapolis, and Chas.
Teller, without any home. They said
that they had come from New Ulm
Thursday, and that two other men
had told them where to find the brass.
When the brass was stolen, the
Kasota agent notified the local agent,
who told Salet Of the theft. The Ka-
sofa agent reported that $50 pounds
of brass had been stolen. 1t is thought
that the tramps loaded it into a box
car and dumped it off at Bradley's
crossing, and concealed it under a
pile of ties.
The officers are looking for the
other two men who are supposed to
have done the actual stealing. Baker
and Teller were caught over the Le-
Sueur county line and may have to be
taken to that county for their hear
ing.
The marshal of Kasota and a rail-
road police officer took the two men
to Kasota Friday afternoon.

GRADUATE NURSES.
st. Luke's Hospital, st. Paul, Gives
Diplomas to Several.

The following account of the grad
uation of nurses from st. Luke's hos
pital, st. Paul, cut from one of the
dailles of that city few days ago,
has been handed US with request to
publish. 1t will be noted that two of
the graduates, Elinor Edith Pearson
and Mary Andregg are Mankatoites:
Nine trained nurses were last night
presented with diplomas attesting
their knowledge Of the profession at
St. Luke's hospital, in the presence
of $50 admiring friends and relatives.
1t was the first commencement
held at the hospital and the sixth
since the school was made part Of
| the institution. The children's ward
which had been embellished with
festoons of the national colors and a
row of palms and potted plants along
the walls. Cut flowers were placed
in the windows, and the air was per-
fumed with big bouquets of lilacs.
The chC:r boys from st. Paurs
church began the programme with a
song. The graduates were seated in
the alcove in the southwest corner of
the room, and Bishop Gilbert, DR.. J..
w. Chamberlain and Rev. D. G. An
dreWs, rector of Christ church, &C.
cupied platform at the right of the
class. The room was packed and some
Of the guests could not gain entrance.
DR.. Chamberlain, in a congratula-
tory address. spoke of the vast
amount of work attending the per-
lection Of graduate in such pro-
fession and expressed a hope that
success might attend them wherever
they might 60 Bishop Gilbert, who
presented the diplomas, dwelt on the
hearty appreciation of the work as
testified by the large audience and
commented on the calling chosen by
the young women just completing
their course, He referred to the pride
which they might well feel in the
possession of such testimonial. An
other selection by the choir boys
closed the programme and the gather
ing resolved itself into an informal
reception for the class.
The graduates were attired in the
usual garb of the nurse, but in addi-
tion to this their diplomas entitled
them for the first time to wear the
black band around their snow white
caps. Besides this each member of
the class was presented with a neat
gold badge upon which was inscribed
the date of graduation.
The class is composed of the follow
ing members: Misses Mary A. Aspin-
wall, Margaret Edgerton, M. A. Rem
wick, Elinor Edith Pearson, M. A.
McCloud, Cornelia Cummings, L. M.
Newkirk, Mary Andregg and Iva
Goodrich. The reception lasted until
II o'clock, during which time the
guests visited some Of the wards in the
