its close has brought to st. Paul a really
esxStEaordlnary number of artists of all
k1nds; such season is ffttingly closed by
the appearance of James Whitcornb Ri
ley at the Peoples church, Thursday,
May a He is one of the few who have
given talent upon talent; every one knows
how he writes, nearly every one knows
how he reads, but those who have not
had the experience, for 1t certainly is an
experience, of listening to him, may get
some idea of his versatility from the fol-
lowing stanza, which was written by a
Southern poet on the back of an envelope
during one of the intermissions
There's a feller, name of Riley,
Wanderin' round the sunny South,
With heart SO full of music
It's a-droppin' from his mouth.
And SO fulI~ef fun and sadness,
That the folks who go to listen,
Git to laughin and er weepin'
Over them old songs of his'n.
And If you go to hear him
Better mind what you're erbout
When. you laugh; you'll need your ker-
chief
Eff you don't watch out!

How woman Hold. a Mans Anee-


A wise and observing person stated the
other day that many a wife complains
that her husband does not take her out,
that she only sees him at meals or that
he makes friendships in which she has no
part. Further, that she blames him for
neglecting her, and thinks herself il.used;
yet, he is only following the natural In
stinct of humanity-the fault is really
hers. The most easiest way wife can
hold her husbands affection and SYM
pathy is by beauty, which is possessed by

The Great Northern has completed the
foundations for the new Rice street
