He Lost His Hat.

well known young man oil this city
has been conHding to some OF bis friends
a good joke which happened to him last
Saturday evening when he visited friends
in the Portage Lake town. He and a
friend with whom he was to spend the
night we're at Hancock during the even
ing and by the time they started Tor the
friends home in Houehton, the storm
that was raging was not to be laughed
at. Crossing the bridge it was worse
and when about half way over the friends
hat was blown over the bridge on to the
Ice. The thermometer registered rather
low by this time and the wind that was
blowing was strong enough to blow the
top OF ones head of, SO the man without
the hat thought.
The friend determined on running oyer
to the other side OF the lake and back on
the Ice Tor the lost hat and instructed bis
Calumet partner to go up to the house
and keep his head warm. The Calumet
boy thought this the proper plan and
started Tor the house, which he
found with no little difficulty. But
when he arrived he found
the door locked. lie dared not ring the |
bell Tor fear OF awakening the family and
he knew they would take him for an out.
cast. being without hat and his hair in |
the way 1t was. So nothing remained to |
be done but stand In the storm shed and
let the wind take it's course through his !
curly locks until the friend arrived nearly
an hour later with the hat which he lin. |
ally captured after hard fight with the |
wind.
The Houghton friend thought It was a |
good Joke. but the Calumet boy did not |
zee it that way until the next morning.
He said be thought several times OF ring
ing the door bell, but on second consid.
alton he feared they might take him for
burglar or most any old thing and
make it too interesting for him.

February T. The story told is a power
FOL one OF love and intrigue and OF greed

lines and cannot be said to approach the
stereotyped form OF melodrama at any
time. Quite as much interest lie felt,
however. in the marvellous scenic aids as
in the story ITSELF In the first act sec
ton OF the great Chicago fire Is repro
duced with wonderful fidelity to detail
and thrilling fleet. In order to render
the counterfeit az complete as possible,
hundred things are being done at the
same time. Hordes OF excited people flee
from the burning district carrying their
most precious belongings, pluneing
borsemel, flying cabs, terrific explosions.
falling walls, flying embers, grooming
wind aud hundred other matters OF de-
tall render the stage Illusion perfect. Not
less worthy OF praise is the fam nus ap-
preaching engine scene. Other scenes OF
the play are birdseye view OF the Chi.

ST. Louis Republic.

Brig. Gen. Nelson Cole departed las;
night for Camp Alger. near Washington,
where he VIII assume command Of the
brigade which will there be placed at his
disposal. A crowd OF friends accompanied
him TO the Union station and babe him
Godspeed. Among them were a number
OF his comrades who served under him in
the late war. Gen. Cole was dressed IN his
field costume and seemed inclined TO the
belief that he would have little use for any
other kind.
In connection with Gen. Coles appoint
ment there Ia pretty little story going
the rounds concerning flag raising In his
honor on the Old McCarty hotel at Jeffer-
son City. The McCarty hotel - one OF the
landmarks OF the place. Burr Fl. McCarty
was a Southerner and Confederate of in

sentiments. During his life the Stars and

secret that he desired TO pay a special
