In speaking of Paris Gibson, lately
elected United States Senator from Mon
tana, Minneapolis newspaper says that
his election drought back to the minds
of many old settlers of Minneapolis an
occurrence which shows Mr.. Gibson's
honesty. Mr.. Gibson started the North
Star Wooden Mill, the first wooden mill
in Minneapolis. He employed more than
a hundred hands, and, for many years,
did thriving business. On account of
the depression In business, he failed in
1877, wages for month and ten days
being owed his employees when his mill
shut down, the total amount owed them
aggregating nearly $4,000 No judy
ments were secured against him, and, as
times became better, the matter soon
passed from the minds of the employees.
In the meantime, Mr.. Gibson went to
Montana, in 1879, and, from the start, he
appears to have met with success there,
10 about decade, he had fairly well re-
trieved his lost fortunes, and he then pre-
pared surprise for his unpaid employ
ees in Minneapolis. Having the old &C.
counts in his possession, he knew just
what was due every one Of his former
employees, and, through Minneapolis
attorney, those employees received no.
tice that, if they would call at the attor-
ney's Office and prove their identity, the
wages which Mr.. Gibson owed them
would, together with interest at the rate
of seven per cent, be paid them; and to
all who thus established their identity,
the amounts due them were accordingly
paid. 1t was impossible to pay all the
back wages due, as many of Mr.. Glib
sons old employees had left the city and
could not be found. That he had per-
sonel recollection Of his many former
employees was shown In the case of Mrs.
Carlson, of South Minneapolis. Mrs.
Carlson was sixteen years o. age when
Mr.. Gibson's mill closed, and the wages
due her amounted to $1,000. When Mr..
Gibson sent her the money owed her, he
added the following: Il suppose that you
are now married. In that event, take
this money and buy yourself wedding
present. Mrs. Carlson expended the
money for silver tea service. There
are still in the employ Of the North Star
Wooden Company many persons who
worked for Mr.. Gibson in the '70's, and
they all have the kindliest feeling for
him, and are pleased to learn of the great
esteem in which he Is held by the people
of Montana"

The shirt waist man has acquired a
certain official recognition with the
United States government. 1t is de-
creed that the letter carriers may wear
shirt waists during the heated term,
under certain regulations as to color,
form and uniformity. 1t was always a
puzzle why men who were employed in
any official capacity about active duties
in hot weather should be required to
wear a mass of wooden clothing which
would be appropriate and comfortable in
average winter weather. Unofficial in
dividusls can exercise certain degree
Of common sense in the selection Of
their attire; but in official circles that
quality has as q rule been little known.
