An Instructive and encouraging article
from the pen of Mr.. H. P. Hail is printed
elsewhere in todays issue of T h e
Globe: 1t deals briefly but conlpre-
hehsiycly with the jobbing and manu-
featuring business of ST Paul for the
Year now closing. Mr.. Hall is so well
known that the fact that the article is
from his pen is all the certificate needed
of its character. He is an authority on
matters treated of in the article. His po-
sition as secretary of the Jobbers' union
affords opportunity to get the informa-
ton from the most reliable sources, and
his long and brilliant career as a news
paper man enables Kim to put the matter
together in an attractive manner Every
reader of today's paper should make it a
point to give especial attention to Mr..
Halls article.

Wagging his stump of a tail, the brindle
purp trotte6 quietly along behind his
master. He was just a common cur,
honely enough to make a string of pug
dog bells jingle out of tune, but there
was a mean looking overhang above his
left eye that told of blooded ancestors.
The master had noticed the overhang
when he assumed ownership of the purp
and was willing to pay for q license tag.
The master stopped near the postoffice
to exchange greetings with an old friend.
The purp with the mean looking eye trot-
ted over to the curbstoEe and squattel
down ON lis launches TO wait patiently
until the march should be resumed Once
the purp yawned and two white rows OF
rasty looking bone crushers stood out
against a red background.
While the master and the friend con
versed a coal wagon was sighted DIT
SKI, and Wabasha In front of the coal
wagon tretted- one of the fiercest looking
bulldogs allowed to run without rluZZle.

him and duty demanded that he wat for

Fifth street was reached. The fierce

better gil yer bow-wow out Of sight before
my bulb comes up or there'll be a dorg
funeral"
The brindle purp continued to wag his
stump of a, tail.
Hey, YOU" shouted the driver a sec
ond time. This is no kid. Me dorg will
chew the life out of your brute if yer
don't git him off The street quick.
We'll. you need not get excited about
that" drawlad the master of the brindle
purp as he broke off his converse ton
with the friend. where is your bull

driver of the coal wagon, land you'll

Is your dog fighter?" asked the own
er of the sbrindle purp.
You Jest bet he is, an it's too late
now cause he is goin' to mix with yer

-The driver of the coal wagon spoke the
truth. The fierce looking bull had heard
the shouts from the coal wagon and here
he was coming up on the jump. He look
ed at his master and saw the coal man
staring at the brindle purp. The bull
read that look to mean go after him, and
he started on the jump for the purp on
All this time the brindle purp just
wagged his tail, and the latter never
novel. True, "a big tear appeared at
the corner of that left eye and the tear
rolled out and down his nose, but he sat
still and waited.
1t looked like plain case of dog muir

go after him, Terror was the only
order issued, but that one order was
enough; for Terror sidestepped and then
as the bull rushed by he lunged through
the air and snapped those two rows of
bone crushers. The teeth were buried
deep in the neck of the coal mans dog
and Terror did not intend to let go.
Over and over the two brutes rolled
but it was all one sided The bull snap
ped his jaws again and again, but he
never closed them on any part of the
brindle's anatomy. All the while Terror
kept grinding away with those bone
crushers.
For five minutes the fight waged and
then the coal man threw the sponge into
the ring. Il give up he said; TRY and
help me save my dDrg.'
The owner of the brindle purp whistled
| peculiar whistle, and the coal man
grabbed the hind legs of the bull. Terror
let go his hold and backed up, but the
bull was too far gone to make a move.
The coal man picked his dog UP in his
arms and lifted him to the coal wagon.
The master of the brindle purp resumed
his interrupted conversation and the Pc
destrians coming around the corner only
saw a homely cur with a mean overhang
above his left eye sitting on his launches
waiting patiently for his master.

egg Coffee is my bette noir, for L can
never remember how many Jumps Jack
takes in his, and we have been married
five years. Now you must admit it takes
the temper of saint to respond every
morning to the query. "How many Jumps,
dear?' with Just"
The Chaperon broke off. looked embar-
raised and then asked her husband APP
pealingly,
How many do you take, dear?'
After the laughter had subsidized the
Chaperon continued.
But it isn't the coffee. only, that al
ways makes breakfast seem to me like
one of those horrid algebraic problems
l was never able to solve at school. It's
ones general appearance. It's seldom
good at breakfast time. and when ones
general appearance is not good then ono
is not good oneself. Not, irrelevant
ly,' that, in order to be entertaining, 1t
is necessary to be good. On the con-
trary, indeed. However L was referring
to a mental state rather than a moral
state of mind, anyway And apropos of
breakfasts, have any of you ever noticed
how red ones nose is apt to be at break
fast? 1 don't suppose there is anything
in the world that has the same effect on
a woman's frame of mind as the color
of her nose. When it is nice and white
she feels stately and aristocratic and is
glad to remember that her grandfather
was somebody. When it has just sus-
picion of pink to hunanize the white
provided, Of course, the color in the
cheeks matches it-she feels frivolous.
But if it's red, an uncompromising. home
ly horrid red, she feels ordinary and
cross and is incapable of overlooking
trif1es. And it must be difficult for man
to be nice to woman whose nose is
red"
1 have little philosophy of my own
concerning meals, said the Poster Girl,
who agrees with Gibson that it's permits
sibIe to put ones elbows on the table.
Breakfasts are of necessity impersona1
affairs. 1t is at this meal alone that it
is proper to eat simply to live. One
should breakfast alone or with people to
whom one is perfectly Indifferent.
Luncheons, although they are necessarily
light, gay, frivolous affairs are deserving
of more attention One should lunch
with ones friends and the conversation
may be frivolous, but it is the unwise
woman who wastes her bon mots on a
luncheon for no men should be present
at this meal do not mean tot infer
that my own sex cannot appreciate d bon
mot On the contrary. But it is always
an impersonal appreciation that one,
woman gives anothers pretty frock or
witty saying, and what woman has ever
been satisfied with impersonal apprecia-
ton?
Dinner, however, is an entirely differ
ent affair. One must dine with those one
loves That means that at least one man
shall be present, for love, like good

Babblings Of q
Bachelor Girl.


Ones opinions wObble SO nowadays
said Nine. Sarah Grand the other night
in Minneapolis during the course of her
lecture on Mere Man"
Certainly one of the Bachelor Girl
opinions wobbled frightfully when she
gazed on the creator OF 1.-The Heavenly
Twins" and of that impossible "Babs."
Confidentfally, she expected to see long,
lean woman clad in a curyeless green
blue frock, with a quantity of wispy
bronze hair done low over green-blue
eyes. 1t seems rather unfair for a woman
to crowd between the covers of her book
all the faseinatingly unconventional
things one would do oneself if one
didn't have relations, and then come out
of her literary seclusion and face her
expectant public clad in conventional
black and white frock, her head coifed
in conventional couture
But it was the lecture itself that made
the Bachelor Girls opinion wobble most
if there can be degrees of wobbling. Now,
certainly, nobody can accuse Sarah Grand
of writing her books to point a moral
There was not the vestige of a moral
in 1.-THE Heavenly Twins" that is not
one that could apply to the general pub
lie, although the literary public might
have discovered one for itself And
Babs-well, her worst enemy could not
accuse Babs of having such thing as
a moral concealed any place about her.
But with the. lecture it was different.
There was moral, an aggravating inn
pertinent, not get-aroundabie moral to
it. And the moral was tackled on to the
end of a good.little talk that was cross
between a woman Suffra gist's address
and a Box editorial. The lecture had
been ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS memorized.

flashes of Babs' irreverence broke rough

tawdry big shop that contained not a
solitary thing whose possession would

A discussion of Sarah Grand natural
ly leads to a discussion of matrimonial
problems, and it was apropos of the lat

lowed the Grand lecture, the Chaperon
made the following remark:
DO you know. she observed, gazing
pensively into her glass. that more di-
vorees result from breakfasts than from
anything else?"
No one responded In fact, the remark
so obviously requires an explanation that
