James Russell Lowell was dream,ly

James Russell Lowell was dreamily
strolling along toward his home in
Cambridge one unusually beautiful
night. Slowly. with serene, queenly
majesty, full moon was ascending the
sky, pouring her lavish light over all
of beauty even the ugly outlines Of the
conventional domestic architecture
round about. Duly Illuminated by the
loneliness of the spectacle the poet as
he passed by the house of the estimable
brother man who supplied meat to him
regularly for slight consideration Of
profit, noticed that valuable citizen
leaning on the fence and gazing up in
a kind Of rapt way. 1t pleased Lowell
to think that the butchers immortal
soul was bathing itself In the flood Of
semi-spiritual moonlight, and, pausing.
he remarked: What beautiful night
1t Is, neighbour" Yes. Mr. Lowell, 1
was just a-thinkin' what bully night
for slaughterin' this would bel" "Of
course, of course" gasped the poet,
beating hasty retreat.

,1lLL1NEEY COMPANY FAILS.
| Roigeiman Concern In Dos Moines Goes
Into Hnnds of q Receiver.


Des Moines Ia April 24.--The Rel
scllnan Millinery company went into
the hands of a receiver last evening,
r. H. Lyman being named. The com
pany was capitalized for $4,000, OF
which $4,000 was put In by Henry
Regelman, president, and the other
shares We're held by his father and
mother.
The receiver was named on applca-
ton of Henry Reigelman. He states
that he has been under the care OF an
oe1llist for some weeks and unable to
attend to business; that the persons In
charge contemplate paying off some in
debtedness contrary to the proper pol
icy of the company and that there has
been such disagreement between the
owners as to make a receivership nee
essary. he places the assets at $4,000
and the debts at $4,000. OF the $4,000
owing, most of which is borrowed
money, $4,000 is paper held in the Des
Moines National bank. 1t is under
stood that 1t was not this debt which
was pressing. but other and smaller
amounts and that there was n dis
agreement as to the payment of some
favored creditors. The company was
organized after the failure of NJ. Rel
gelman & Co.. some years ago. and the
company has also been unfortunate in
having two costly fires.
