Bonaparte and the violets.

~Bonaparte having on his departure
for the island of Elba promised his
confidential friends to return in the
violet season, his adherents adopted
the above simple flower as rallying
signal. Corporal Violet" became their
favorite toast, and each was distin-
guished by a gold ring with a violet
in enamel and the motto, Ellie re-

pear again in spring) AS soon as it
became generally known that he had
landed at Frejus multitude of the
women Of Paris were seen with bas
kets full of these flowers which were
purchased and worn by his friends
without exciting the least suspicion.
1t was customary on meeting any one
thus decorated to ask, "AimeZ vOuS la
violette?" do you like the violet:)
when, if they answered, "Oui" (yes,,
it was certain the party was not a
confederate. But if the reply was
"Eh bien" (welD they recognized an
adherent and completed the sentence.

BRIDGE WAS BURNED.
Engineer and Fireman Jump for their
Lives After Setting Brakes.

The Mankato Free Press gives the
following account of the burning OF
the railroad bridge, and the accl-
dent to the freight train that follow
ed. which resulted in delaying Judge
Weber trip to this city, on Tues
day of last week:
"a freight train was partially wrecked
at the bridge over Minneopa creek,
four miles west of the city, on the Chi
cago Il Northwestern railway, yester-
day afternoon The last train to pass
over the bridge had been the west
bound passenger at little after eleven
o'clock, aud It is thought that possibly
sparks from the engine of that train
set fire to the bridge at the east half Of
the bridge as the east half of the latter
was partially burned away when a
special freight train going west ap-
preached the bridge at ;35 p. M. going
twenty-five miles an hour. The wind
blew the smoke down, SO that the engi-
neer did not see that the bridge was on
fire, and the rails were in place. The
engine was close upon the bridge when
it was discovered that it was on fire
Engineer Degnon put on the all
brakes and then he and the fireman

that they did so, for the engine broke

Judge Webber changed the name
of rather pretty young girl OF Il
summers last Wednesday afternoon,
and if report that was current in
The court room is true the young
| dy will soon experience another
changeof name, this.time through the
clerk of the court and the minister
of the gospel.
The proceedings came up under a
petition presented by Attorney Al
rt Hauser of Morgan, asking that
the name of Vrlma NJ Grassy be
changed to Velma M. Evans, and
that she be adjudged the legal heir
Of Walter Evans, a well-to-do farm
err residing in either Paxton or
Three Lakes township.
It appears that Mrs Evans was
formerly the wife of Seba Grassy
from whom she was divorced anum-
Der of years ago. Before she was
divorced daughter was born and
given the name of Velma. After the
divorce Mrs. Cressy was married
to Mr.. Evans, and recently it be
came the desire of Mr.. Evans, his
wife and Miss Grassy that the latter
be made the legal heir of Mr. Evans
and assume bis surname. Proceed
! ingS were commenced through Mr..
Hauser and last Wednesday Judge
Weber signed the papers that did
the business.
Miss Velma s young admirer was
In the court room during the whole
Of the proceedings. He is the son
of county official, and one or two
OF the court officials 'joshed the
young man over the fact that they
proposed changing the young lady S
name quicker than he could, and
that unless he did the handsome
thing they might get the proposed
change of name so badly mixed up
in the legal proceedings that he
wouldn t just know who he was
marrying. The young man took tt e
''josh1ng in the best of nature, tell
ing the court officials to go ahead
with their mincing of names that
he proposed giving her one that
they couldn' t change in short
time. When the proceedings were
over the young man heaved sigh
of relief, and intimated that he wish
ed the rest could be done in the
same length of time
This won't be the young lady s
name very long, anyway, remark
ed Mr.. Hauser to the Court.
Il presume not, replied the judge

The great rule to be borne in mind
by all hockey players is Keep your
temper" Hard knocks are generous
heritage of the game, but good hockey
players must take them all in good
part, relying upon the umpire to look
out for fouls and leaving it to the cap
tain of his team to urge that dignitary
to realize the full merits of the dis
tressing situation. A man with a quick
temper beyond control will never make
a hockey player That is why hockey
is especially deserving of being Amer
ica's national winter game.

sterling American qualities that make

great nation. %

CLAIM WATKINS
BROKE FAITH.
Central League Magnates Say
Indianapolis Man
Killed Bill.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. 15.-The
new Central league magnates are fully
convinced that if Sunday baseball is
prevented in Indiana, as a result of the
agitation caused by the special efforts
to make possible the playing of Sun
g day games in Indianapolis, Watkins, of
the Indianapolis club, will be to blame.
1t is charged he attempted to break
faith with them by having law pass
ed, applying to cities of 100000 or
mere, which made it apply to Indian
apolis alone. This incensed the mem
bers of the legislature from other base
ball cities, and the delay necessary to
amend the bill to take in these other
cities gave the opponents of Sunday
baseball time to array their forces and
defeat the measure. Terre Haute
Evansville and South Bend have no
fear of interference, but Anderson and
Marion may be annoyed, as may also
Fort Wayne, unless the subject Is
dropped and the agitation ceases.
In the meantime the managers of the
various clubs are making preparations
for the season. Wheeling, which for a
time was regarded as the doubtful
member of the circuit, is going ahead

frequently seen. OF all the ornaments
used by human beings, earrings are
probable the oldest, so far as historical
research has been able to determine They
date from the remotest antiquity. the
earlist mention of them being in Genesis
in the time of Jacob, 1872 B. G. This an
tiquity has been confirmed by the finding
of costly and elaborate specimens in the
Troad by DR.. Schiliemann, in Etruria by
Castellani and in Anglo Saxon remains in
England. Their use at first was not or
namental, but superstitious
Amulets consisting of inscribed precious
stones on pieces of metal were worn sus-
pended from the neck or more frequently
from the ears. Augustin speaks strongly
against earrings worn as amulets in his
time. 1t is noteworthy fact that the
ears Of the famous statue Venus de
Medici are bored, evidently for earrings.
The fashion of men wearing earrings,
which is still common in Italy. among the
fisherman of Cornwall, Eng. with Por-
tuguese. sailors and many others, is
survival of the superstition that they
We're protection against evil. Many Of
the Italians in New York wear earrings
for this purpose.

LlncoIn's Strongest Attribute.

The strongest attribute of Lincoln was
his power Of self control Sentiment
might sway him, but mob never moved
him. When jealousies in the army bred
popular clamor against Gen Grant,
while the latter was winning famous vic
tories in the Southwest, Lincoln listened
to no word of scandal and. by his silence,
rebuked the defamers of the general, who
afterward became the admiration of the
world. When, in the fevered tumuIt of
passion, an angry North seemed to voice
a general demand for the. infection of
the death penalty upon jefferson Davis,
Lincoln listened in silence and waited for
ways looking over the heads of the
crowd; he was always listening to the
still small voice that echoed in the dis
lance, far away from the roar of vehe-
law constantly appealed to mis- fine ju-
dicial sense.-Les1ie's Weekly.
