qhn ONLY English Thine.

The American frigate Constitution

went excited the most favorable COM

visited by an English officer of high
rank, who, after making an inspection,
said: This is one of the finest frigates

During her action with the Java her

stitution, and, although we think it al

LOVED his LITTLE MISTRESS.


The Dog Care His Life to Protect Her
from Wolves.
One day recently Ranchman Sam
Dodge, who lives near Caney, Kan, in
the Usage country, went to Vinita on
business, and shortly afterhe had gone
Bessie, his fiye-year-old daughter, wan
dered away from home in an attempt
TO follow him. Mrs. Dodge discovered
her absence about two hours after her
departure. She made a thorough
search of the premises, and, failing to
find the ehild, notified the neighbors Of
her disappearance. They turned out in
force, and secured the prairies all that
day and all that night, and all the next
day, searching for the little wanderer,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
At last an Indian came upon her lying
fast asleep just south of Post Oak creek,
in an old road known as the "Whisky
trail Across her body stood New
foundland dog, which had always been
her companion about the ranch. The
dog was torn and bleeding, and near
his feet lay the dead bodies of two
wolves. Although her cheeks were
stained with tears and covered with
dust Bessie was unframed. She and
her protector were taken back to her
home, distance of IL miles from where
they were found, where the dog died
of his wounds that night. He was given
a decent burial, and Sam Dodge has
ordered marble monument, which
will be placed at the head of the faith

1t may be that fishes don't know one
another individually, but they know
their own kind. Six weeks ago there
was placed in the great pool at the
aquarium single herring weighing
about quarter of pound, an odd fish
that came in with some other stock. One
day recently another little herring was
placed in the pool. The great pool is
SO feet in diameter, but it was only o
few minutes before the two little her
rings had found each other, and were
swimming around the pool in company.
Half dozen crevalle were placed in the
big pool one morning, recently, and In
the afternoon of the same day two OF
three more. Ten minutes later they
were all scooting around the pool t.

POPULAR HERO OF ROMANCE


He Gan DO Alnost Anything Well.
But Keeps Il to Himself.
If one may Judge from the novels that
young women seem to read with most
avidity they do not like lover to be
sentimental, rhetorical or brutal. They
still prefer him to be big and strong, but
let him be careful not to put ON airs
about it. There is nothing which SCENE
to please little woman more than to
humiliate big man-and that at his
own game. If she can show him that
she can sail boat, shoot rapid, climb
mountain, or swim further out to sea
than he can, she il in fair way to az.
cept his humble proffer of love and
allegiance in the next chapter.
The prevalent hero is man who can
do almost anything well, but keeps it to
himself. He must be a man Of immense
reserve powers, who exhibits most Of
them playing golf. or polo. OF riding to
hounds, or running steam yacht.
If he permits the fact to leak out that
in winter he is intensely interested in
civic and philanthropic problems he be-
gins to get hold on the affections Of
the naughty lady. What the modern
young woman seems to want in hero
is a correct, fashionable and rather
frivolous manner of life, but inwardly
= tremendous seriousness of purpose.
If he simply has the purpose" he is all
right-he need not do much, for the
world is known to be rather cruel and
cynical toward reformers. The girl
knows that he will fail of carrying out
his ideal, but she is determined that he
shall have her by way of compensation.

Miss Zulu Hart Will Teach in Uncle Sans
New Possessions.

Miss Zulu Hart, a teacher in the
Minneapolis schools and a sister of
Thos. w. and J. E. Hart, Of this city,
is preparing to 60 to Honolulu to fol-
low her chosen profession. She has
resigned her position in Minneapolis,
and will soon start for the Hawaiian
Islands, armed with recommendations
from Gov. Clougn, Congressman
McCleary, President Northrup, State
Superintendent Pendergast, President
Soaring and others.
Miss Hart is graduate of the Nor
NAL school and is a successful teacher
and a bright and charming lady. She
has plenty Of pluck and energy and
her many Mankato friends will wish
success in her new home. The CHI
mate Of Honolulu is said to be as
nearly perfect as at any place on the
globe, and the fresh influx of Ameri-
can people and capital will make it a
still more desirable place to live than
it has been in the past.

A WISE MOVE.
First National Bank to Reduce
its Capital.
Following q Tendency Among Banking
Institutions, it Will Reduce to
100000.

The First National bank will soon
fall in line with many other banking
institutions over the country and re-
duce the amount of it's capital stock.
1t is understood that the controller
of the currency has given his consent
to reduction in the amount of the
capital stock from $3.50, 900 to 800, 900,
and that a meeting of the stock
holders has been called for Aug. 9th
to act upon the proposition. At this
meeting, the matter will be decided,
and as there seems to be general
sentiment among the stockholders in
favor of it, the plan will probably be
adopted. The stockholders will share
pre- rata in the reduction.
The proposed move is considered by
those best qualified to judge to be an
eminently wise one. 1t will reduce
expenses to some extent and at the
same time the smaller capital will be
ample for the volume of business
transacted by the bank. The Ma
tional Citizens bank has but 500, 900
capital, and the Mankato National
bank is to be reorganized with half Of
it's present capital. Banks in other
cities are doing the same thing. This
is necessitated by the fact that the
profits of banking are smaller than
they formerly were, there is less de-
mand for money, rates of interest are
lower: etc. The fact that the con-
troller of the currency gives his sane
tion in such changes shows THAT they
are looked upon as wise and safe.

FOR JUDGE OF PROBATE.

Some time ago the Free Press an
nounced the probable candidacy Of
Mr.. W. F. Hughes for judge of pro-
bate, and it comes to pass that Mr..
Hughes is in the field actively for the
position and will ask the Republican
convention for nomination.
In speaking of Judge Mead in last
evenings Free Press we did not intend
to convey the iGea that he was the
only man in the Republican party
qualified for the position, nor the
only one entitled to recognition. In
fact, the writer did not know of the
candidacy of Mr.. Hughes. While all
we said of Mr.. Mead's qualifications
are true, much can be said for Mr..
Hughes along the same line. He is
we'll known in the city and county,
and if chosen would make a faithful,
competent official,
The Free Press desires to be wholly
impartial in the campaign now on,
as there is field of good men seeking
nominations before the approaching
Republican convention, and the wis
dom of the delegates cannot fail to d.
rect them in making the most popular
selections.

A GRATIFYING SUCCESS
Was the Ice Cream Social Given
by the Red, White and Blue.

The ice cream social given by the
Red, White and Blue society last
evening on the lawn and IN the base
ment of the M. E. church, was a splen-
did success in every particular. The
society will clear in the neighborhood
of S45. The weather was all that
could have been asked, and the even
ing was delightfully."- spent. The Con-
cordia band met at their rooms about
1870 o'clock and marched to the church
lawn, where they rendered number
of patriotic selections. The Grand
Army and Woman's relief corps held
a meeting last evening at. their hall,
and through the request and courtesy
of w. N. Plymat, commander OF the
post, both bodies marched over to the
Methodist church and were treated to
ice cream. Mr.. Plymat footed the
bill and was declared most genial
host by those so fortunate as to be in
cluded in his party. The fine music
of the Concordia band did much
toward attracting the people. and to
them, the ladies of the Red, White
and Blue society desire to extend
thanks.
