AN UNFORTUNATE BEGINNING.

teacher desired to refresh a boys memory
and help him to answer a question. Acting
on the superstition that mental review
would lead him to correct conclusion, she
said: ... ..z

Unconsciously from the entire class there
came responsive murmur:
And sit down."
The teacher was compelled to join in the
audible smiles, and hardly knows yet whether

Big Warehouses May Be Built in !
Twin Cities.
j. P. MORGAN HAS THE MONEY
the DesirabiIity of the In
Vestment.

Minneapolis and St. Paul may each se-
cure greatly increased bonded warehouse
facilities as the result of a movement
which has been put on foot within the
past few weeks. Local men, who be-
lieve that the import business coming to
Minneapolis and st. Paul will warrant the
construction Of two big warehouses for
bonded goods, have recently presented
the proposition to ]. Pierpont Morgan.
Mr.. Morgan Is understood to have said
that if 1t could be shown that such an In
vestment would be profitable he would be
willing to build warehouses in Minneapo-
lis and ST.. Paul at a cost of $4,000 each.
st. Paul business men began work imme-
diately. Letters were secured from men
prominent in commercial and transporta-
tion circles, demonstrating that the st.
Paul import business would warrant the
construction of a large bonded warehouse
as a good investment. The manufactur-
ers and jobbers' committee of the Mime
apolis Commercial Club has the M1nne-
apolis end in charge, and, 1t Is understood,
will go to work at once
Local business men are much interested.
The imports of Minneapolis merchants are
increasing and in the handling Of large
quantities of imported goods designed for
the twin cities and other northwestern
points Increased bonded warehouse ia
cilities will be welcomed. 1t is the hope
of twin city business men to increase
greatly the Importance of this market IN
the northwestern import traffic.

He HID IN 4 CLOSET
How Detectives Thought They Had
Caught a Burglar.
HE WAS THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY
After a Domestic "Scene" He Had
Left and Returning, Entered
by q Cellar Window.

Detectives Norbeck and Bracket had a
remarkable experience after two-hours'
vigil for supposed burglar in a house
near Eleventh street and Mary place
early Friday morning. Shortly after mid
night the desk sergeant at headquarters
received: telephone message that some
unknown person was prowling about in
the house in question, and the two officers
were dispatched to the scene. They kept
watch, one at each door, for nearly two
hours. Then they decided to go in and
take the burglar in the act, for he could
be heard moving about.
Accordingly, they aroused the lady of
the house, and she admitted them timor-
ously. She had not heard the noise and
was almost frantic when informed that
thief was actually repairing to make off
with her yaluables. Every room was in
spected, but no man. Then Norbeck
opened a closet door in the basement and
there stood the intruder
Il am the head Of this household
calmly announced the man: The officers
thought this ruse, and so walked the
fellow upstairs, where they met the lady
of the house.
Its my husband she shouted, excit-
eddy. But she would have nothing to do
with him. She implored one Of the off,
GERS to remain and protect her.
"Six weeks ago my husband and quar-
reled,' she explained. HE left home
then, and this is the first have seen of
him SINCE
He had entered through basement
window and had spent several hours
cleaning his clothes with gasolene within
few feet of burning gas Jet. Less
than two yards from him sat ten-gallon
can filled with gasolene. 1t was a wonder
that he was not blown into eternity The
man appeared slightly demented. but the
wife finally decided that since she had
cared for her husband for several years
she could do it again, and dismissed the
detectives. s,r-

Mr.. Lawrence is now connected with the
internal revenue service and in large part
his duties have been connected with To-
eating Illicit stills in the Carolinas and
running down the owners. 0 at
He is now enjoying a few months
respite in the northwest but expects to
return in the early summer
The Blue Ridge country, in Mr. Law
rence's opinion, contains probably the
most backward. most primitive and most
benigbted white people in the United
States Their farming methods are al
most medieval and one generation shows
no Improvement over its predecessor in
Men, women and children drink the raw
corn juice distilled everywhere there,
chew tobacco and dip snuff, and every
body lives from hand to mouth. Their
one salvation Is the cheapness of sub
sistence there.
A family will live a whole year, Mr..
Lawrence declares, on what the average
northern farmer will spend in celebrating
Christmas. The revenue officer is the
object of universal hatred and the popular
diversion is to wing him whenever OPP
portunity offers or shoot his horse from
under him. Each feat of this sort entities
the doer to wear turkey feather in his
cap Revenue officers are not actually
killed unless it Is positively necessary.
The remedy for the condition Of these
communities, in Mr.. Lawrence's opinion,
is for the state to push popular education
and the people to vote the republican
ticket Both states, especially In the
rural communities, are lamentably def
cient in schools. Mr.. Lawrence says he
Travelled by buggy for two days at one
time last year and saw in all that time
but two schoolhouses. There is some
promise Of improvement for South Caro-
lima in this respect, he says, in the fact
that the governor is thoroughly alive to
the situation and is urging legislation
tending to stimulate the movement for
more general education.
