December in the afternoon and close

it was cold, and SO we came ashore and
were walking hand in hand along the

leads from the Common Stath yard to
the market place. In this lane there
stands sailors tipping house, which
is, dare say, in all respects such a
house as sailors desire, provided and
furnished according to their wants and
wishes. As we passed, the place being
already lit up with two or three can

As to Molly; she had the misfortune
to lose her father in infancy. He was
carried off, believe, by smallpox. He
was a shipowner and general mer-
chant Of the town and was commonly
reputed to be a man Of considerable
means. At his death he bequeathed
the care Of his widow and his child to
his old servant, Captain John Crowle,
who had been in the service of the
house since he was apprenticed as a
boy. He directed further that Captain
Crowle should conduct the business for
the child, who by his will was to inner
it the whole of his fortune, whatever
that might prove to be, on coming Of
age after subtracting certain settle
ments for his widow.
It was most fortunate for the child
that her guardian was the most honest
person in the world. He was bache-
lor; he was bound by ties Of gratitude
to the house which he had served; he
had nothing to do and nothing to think
about except the welfare of the child. At

as any man, her arms stout and muscu-

hair fair and blowing about her head

by no means white. Her features were
regular and straight, her mouth not too
small, but to my eyes the most beautiful
mouth in the world, the lips full and
always ready for a smile, the teeth
white and regular; in a word, to look
at, as fine q woman-not of the delicate
and dainty kind. but strong, tall and
full Of figure-as one may wish for. AS
to her disposition, she was the most
tender, afectionate, sweet soul that
could be imagined. She was always
thinking Of something to please those
who loved her. She spared her mother

sailors recognized Molly. Springing to
his feet, he made respectful leg and
saluted the child. Mates he cried,
"'tis our owner! The little lady owns
the barky. What shall we do for her?''
Then they all sprang to their feet
with huzza for the owner and aneth-
er for the ship, and, if you will believe
it, their rough fo'c's'le hands in half a
minute had the child on the table in a
chair like queen. She sat with great
dignity, understanding in some way
that these men were in her own service
and that they designed no harm or af-
fright to her, but only to do her honor
Therefore she was not in any fear and
smiled graciously. For my own part,
followed and stood at the table, think
ing that perhaps these fellows were
proposing some piratical abduction and
resolving miracles of valor if neces-
sary.
Then they made offerings. One man
pulled red silk handkerchief from his
neck and laid it in her lap, and anoth-
er lugged box of sweetmeats from
his pocket. 1t came from Lisbon, but
was made, believe, in Morocco by the
Moors. A third had gold ring on his
inger-everybody knows the extrava-
gancies of sailors-which he drew off
and placed in her hand Another Of
fered glass Of punch The little maid
did what she had so often seen the cap
tain do. She looked round and said,
Your good health, all the company"
and put her lips to the glass, which she
then returned. And another offered to
dance, and the fiddler drew his bow
across the catgut. 1t is sound which
inclines the heart to beat and. the feet
to move whenever sailor hears it.
Il have often seen you Dance" said
Molly. LET the fiddler play, and you
shall see me dance"
! never thought she would have had
so much spirit, for, you see, I had
taught her to dance the hornpipe. Ev-
cry boy in seaport town can datfce
the hornpipe. We used to make music
out of piece of thin paper laid over a
tortoise shell comb-it must be a comb
of wide teeth, and none of them must
be broken-and with this instead of q
fiddle we would dance in the garden or
in the parlor. But to stand up before a
whole company of sailors! Who would
have thought It? However, she jump
ed up and on the table performed her
dance with great seriousness and so
gracefully that they were all enchant-
ed. They stood around, their mouths
open, broad grin on every face. The
women, neglected, huddled together in
a corner and were quite silent.
When she had finished, she gathered
up her gifts-the silk handkerchief
came from Calicut - the sweetmeats
from Morocco, the gold ring from
know not where. "Put me down, if
you please" she said. So one Of them
gently lifted her to the ground. II

prettily. II wish you good night and

INDULGE IN ANNUAL OUTING.

ST. Paul druggists, their wives and their
families spent yesterday at Wildwood,
where a programme of sports was the
feature and day of rest from the max
ing of pills and the compromising of con-
coctions the best of 1t all.
Fully 100 persons participated in the
outing, special cars conveying the party
to the grounds at 10 o'clck yesterday
morning. Until 10 o'clock last night the
crowd remained intact, the evening por-
ton of the programme consisting of

their elders Of the day previous, will put

taken by the clerks to form an associa-

CLAUSEN is CHOSEN
STATE RAILROAD AND WARE
HOUSE COMMISSION APPOINTS
A NEW SECRETARY
ST. PAUL MAN IS SELECTED
Prolonged Contest Is Settied-Henry
Feig, of Raymond, and ID. w.
Watson, of Duluth, Get
Positions.

Albert c. Clausen, of ST. Paul, has been
appointed secretary of the state railroad
and warehouse commission, succeeding
A. K. Clausen. He will enter upon his
official work Sept l. Aside from this ap-
pointment, the commission has chosen H.
Feig, of Raymond, for the position of
superintendent of country elevators, and
D. w. Watson, of Duluth, as the inspec-
tor of licenses for commission men.
The commission came to definite terms
upon these appointments at a, late hour
yesterday evening. 1t is a well known
fact that the appointment of secretary of
the commission, the most important of
the appointments, has been in allegiance
for many months. There were other ap-
plicantS for the position as a matter of
fact, and an interesting contest is sup
posed to have been waged. However, the
successful applicant was looked upon as
a winner at the outset, which was almost
Immediately upon the induction into Of
flee of the present commission. A. E.
Verify, Minneapolis newspaper man,
was after the position, and during the
legislature his friends became encouraged
over what they considered a substantial
progress of their candidate.
REWARD OF ABILITY
The selection of Mr. Clausen will not
be much of a. surprise to many who were
interested in watching the affair. He is
regarded as thoroughly qualified from
standpoint of experience to handle the
affairs of the office, and it was believed
originally that this element would work
toward his success, the assumption hav-
ing gone abroad that A. K. Teisberg
would not continue in the Office during
the term of the Van SAINT commission.
The new secretary Is by no means new
in the state department. For many years
he was chief grain inspector under Re-
publican administrations. His selection
is made upon the basis of his former
Identification with work of this character
and his general fitness for public service
Mr.. Teisberg, the retiring secretary, has
held the Office since the beginning of the
administration of Gov. Lind. He will leave
the office Sept. 1, when his successor will
step in.
Mr.. Feig, whom the commission chose
for superintendent of country elevators,
is a well known man in political affairs
in this state. For some years he figured
prominently as a member of the lower
branch of the Legislature.

FRIENDS WOULD HONOR JUDSON
LA INQUIRE, OF PEMBINA, N. ID.

Judson La Moure, the well known poll
tician of Pembina, N. D., was in ST. Paul
yesterday, and during the day held a
conference with Alexander Mckenzie,
the Nestor of North Dakota politics.
Senator La Moure left for the Lake Su-
perlor region last night, where he will
pass a few weeks with some friends on
a fishing excursion.
While in st. Paul Mr. La Moure de-
clined to talk politics., but it is under
stood he is a prominent candidate for
the congressional nomination next fall
Under the new redistricting act an add
tional congressman is allowed North Da-
kota. and the friends of Senator La
Moure, who has always been a stalwart
friend Of the administration, think that
it is about time his services were recog-
nized, the chances being that he will
have a lead pipe cinch for the nominal
ton.
This, it is said by those who are in
touch with the politics of the Flickertail
state, would be a fitting recognition of
his services in the past.

Association.

A market for the West side, inde-
pendent of the service shortly TO be, in
augurated at Tenth and Jackson streets.
is to receive consideration at a meeting
of West side gardeners and meat men
to be called this week.
The proposition is to rent the Harmon
oleck, at Chicago avenue and South Wa
basha street. place it in condition for the
accommodation of meat men and other
lines of business and secure permission
from the council for the use of the streets
in that vicinity for market gardeners and
dealers in hay and grain. If the building
can be obtained on reasonable terms, it
will be fitted up for the use of both mar
ket gardeners and meat men, VINO will
consolidate under one roof a very neces
sary population that is now scattered far
and wide. their principal location being
on this side of the river. zleNs
In addition to the building, which
would be known as the West Side Market
house. a block would be set aside for the
accommodation of hay wagons and other
lines of business requiring great space.
The meeting of market gardeners and
meat men will be held in the rooms of
the West Side Improvement association,
and at meeting Of that body this even
ing aid will be voted by the appointment
of a committee to invoke the assistance

BLOW OUT THE LIGHTS
SOME o1ELICATE OCCUPANTS OF
CITY HALL COMPLAIN OF HEAT.
Say the Day Burners Should Be Ex-
tinguished to- Avoid the
Heat and Heavy
Bills.

A gloomy atmosphere pervaded the first
floor of the city hall yesterday, and the
residents of that quarter were deeply
downcast. Some IDIOT" Indignantly
suffered an officeholder, figured that the
few lights burning during the day made
the atmosphere too hot for him, and he
went with his grievance to the custodian
Somebody else was of the opinion that
it was a willful waste of light running
up bill that the poor down-trodden tax
payer would have to pay for and be-
tween the two we are in darkness today"
Custodian Cramsie, asked why the ligtis
had been turned off, said it was because
of complaints that they made the air in
the corridors too hot s.sa4
The light and heat for the city hall
and court house is paid for yearly by
lump sum, there being no prohibition on
the amount used. Even with the sun
shining, the corridors and Railways are
at all times dark, and for this reason
1T has been the custom to keep a~.few-
lights burning. Yesterday in the center
of the hall on the first floor it was posi-
lively dark. The lights used in the day
time do not incur any extra cost.
