Gin sling for Ginger.

Some Americans not over familiar with
a confectioner's shop and asked in English
for some ginger. What they wanted was the
candled variety, OF course, common enough
in confectionery shops in New York. But al
the first syllable Of the word the Paris shop,
men looked at each other in amazement and
then at the women asking for IL. After som,
parley il was made known to the American,
that though the ginger was not in stock !,
would I've sent for-evidently most unusua
procedure, judging from the gestures and ex
Carnations and significant glances upon the
part Of all connected with the establishment,
The Americans waited and waited; still tn,
ginger was not Forthcoming. They wert

waiting for arrived. 1t was served in liqueui

some revenue from them in the
way of fines.
The mayor Immediately turned
to Chief Sparks and said in sub
stance: "Mr. Sparks, you will
proceed tomorrow morning to close
all places in Devils Lake where
liquor is being sold illegally and
keep them closed. Notify those
engaged in the business that the
illegal sale Of liquor will from this
time on be strictly prohibited and
that they had better engage in
other lines of business. If you
fail to carry out this order to the
letter l shall expect your resigna-
ton as chief of police, and I will
keep trying until I find a man to
take your place who will succeed
in keeping the pigs closed"
A box of "Seal of Minnesota, 8"
presented by Trueman Miller
earlier in the evening, was then
passed around and the council adj
journed.

The question of fines, or rather
the absence of fines of late, came
up while a discussion Of the condi-
ton of the city lookup was on,
which precipitated a warm debate
on the blind pig question. Alder
man Mann said he understood the
chief of police was laboring under
the impression that he was not to
interfere with the running of the
pigs save in extreme cases. Alder
man Wineman could not under
stand how the chief got that i'm
preston, surely not from the
council. The mayor stated that
he had asked the council to back
him up in the closing of the pigs,
but the members had decided the
best policy to pursue was to fine
them and he had since that time
been acting along this line. AL
dermen Cockburn and Wineman
both declared that there was never
any such understanding with the
members of the council. Mr.
Wineman claimed the mayor was
trying to conceal his inability to
close the pigs under the plea that
the council was antagonistic to
that policy, when, as a matter of
fact, every member was in favor of
closing them and keeping them
closed. That in discussing the
subject at a previous meeting it
was the concensus of opinion that
II the mayor could not close them,
that the city at least should derive

An OId-Time school.

The New England Primer remains
the monument of the New England
school of long ago. 1t was one of the
quaintest centers of learning lmaglna-
BILE. Here is an account of a classroom
Of seventy years ago taken from among
the recollections of New England
lady, Mrs. Frances A. Breckenridge.
: The third class having had their spell.
ing lessons in words of two syllables,
the little ones were called up to learn
their "a b c's.' The unlucky infants
were kept to their duty by gentle raps
on the head with the handle of a pen
knife used MS a pointer, and always
kept in readiness for the exigencies of
pen-mending.
A dozen or two of mere babies were
thus guided along the row of twenty
six letters, while the lesson was occa-
sionally broken by such requests as,
please to g'wout to get er drink or
waterw las II here We're a choice of
drinksD and please to mend my pen."
The statement that they are a-crowd-
in on me" and an occasional howl from
some overtired little mortal on the front
bench gave variety to the exercises.
1t would now be time for the second
class to read and spell. A whirl of feet
and petticoats landed two rows of boys
and girls standing on the floor, facing
the teacher, who gave the order, MAN
ners!" and the jerking of necks and the
bobbing of skirts gave evidence that
school etiquette was understood The
spelling came first, afterward the read
ing from the same page. Here are a
few specimens:
