1t was a bright summers day when Mr.
Spicer s.rolled out to the piazza of the
hotel after a hearty breakfast, which,
with clear mountain air, had put him IN
a pleasant state of mind.
Hello Spicer, old man; when did you
come up?" asked an individual who was
dressed in a costume which seemed to
be a mixture of Scotch bagpiper and ltal-
ian brigaud

that dress on for: going to a Leo Hunter

for the game, Spcer followed on. He
watched the prelim nary drives with con

was the last or the players, asked:

This girl? Oh, about two months, -
the little woman said, "and she has

A HARD LUCK STORY.

Chicago Record.
The following hardluck anecdote is
aow being told:
A young man in Chicago had been
out of employment for many months.
He was capable enough and anxious
20 work, but it seemed simply impossi-
Die for him to "catcn on" He was in
debt and well-nigh discouraged when
a friend came to him and offered him
Job as travelling salesman for an
eastern firm engaged in the manu-
facture Of an improved monkey
wrench The young man went into an
agreement with the firm. He was to
receive a monthly salary and have all
expenses paid.
The position was attractive. for the
reason that he was to make only
the large towns and deal with the job
bers.
He was given full information as to
prices and learned his little speech in
praise of the improved J monkey
wrench. 1,.-r-r a
st. Louis was his first stop.
He went to the biggest jobbing
| house in that city of immense whole
sale Establishments, and he was deter
! mined to capture a big order. He
felt that he had to hold his job at all
hazards.
The buyer of the jobbing house lis
tened to the young mans convincing
talk and examined the new monkey
| wrench with care. He seemed i'm
| pressed and asked the price per dozen
gross. 1t was given to him, and he
figured on a desk pad for awhile and
then asked: What kind of price
could you give us if we took hundred
dozen grOsS?'
The young man came very near hav-
ing heart failure, but he figured for a
few moments and made a price.
Come back tomorrow, said the
buyer
The salesman was elated, for he felt
sure that he would make a sale
Next day when he went back to the
wholesale house the buyer said: 1--WE
have been figuring and we believe we
can handle this wrench to advantage.
OF course, if we take hold of it we
want the closest price you can make.
and we will be willing to give you a
big order. What is the output of the
factory?"
The salesman did not know.
You find out what the output for
the next five years will be and make
us a price on the whole thing"
The young man telegraphed his
house and received the Information.
The price was satisfactory. The buy
er gave the immense order and the
salesman wired it to his house. In a
few hours he received the following
message from his employers;
Congratulations. Having sold out
put for five years, services no longer
required
Next day he was back in Chicago
looking for another job.

COULDN'T PATCH IT UP.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nj. III. Woods to- Fight
1t Out in Court

1t Out in Court.
Mark III. Woods, who has been in st.
Paul securing affidavits from st. Paul
people, to be offered in evidence in his
suit for divorce against his wife, who
was formerly Miss J. D. Hess, of this
city, returned last week to his home
in Rhode Island Mrs Woods has also
been In the city during the last month,
looking after the taking of dispositions
In the case. The Darlington judge be-
fore whom the case is being tried, con-
t1nued the case at the April term Of
court, and ordered that Mrs. Woods
be permitted to be present at the TAX
ing Of all depositions The work has
been completed, and Mrs. Woods also
returned to Darlington a short time
ago. While here she made efforts to
secure a position as a stenographer
and 1t Is understood that she will re-
turn to st. Paul in the fall and take
rimonial venture
For some time it looked as If the case
would be settled out of court. Mr.. and
Mrs. Woods were seen on the street
frequently while here and always on
the most amtcable terms. However
there was some misunderstanding as
to the terms of the settlement. and
the case will be tried the early part
of September. The suit for divorce
was originally brought by Mrs. Woods,
who made sensational charges against
her recent spouse. and, in order to vim
dictate himself in the eyes of his towns
people, where he had been the respected
town clerk for twenty years, he put
in counter bill and asked for divorce
HIS charges were even more sensational
than those preferred by Mrs Woods.
