A GIRL 5 LONG TRIP
Dorothy Rice, Aged 10, En- Route
From London to
Seattle.
She Makes q e,ooo-Mile Trip All
Alone to Meet Her
Father.

I Among the passengers on the Pioneer
Limited passenger train on the Milwau-
kee road which arrived in the twin cities
at 8 o'clock this morning was little Dor
othy Rice, 10 years old, who is making
the trip from London, England, to Seattle,
WASH, alone. Attic the little girl has
already Travelled over 4. 600 miles, she was
but little fatigued and could scarcely con-
ceal her anxiety to be on her way again.
She left for the west on the North Coast

father, went to the Klondike gold fields
and was accompanied by his wife. Dor
othy was too young to make such long
trip In a cold country, and was left with
her grandmother in London. The parents
went to the gold fields and later re-
turned to Seattle, where the father en-
gagged in business. Everything prospered
with him and he concluded to make
America his permanent home. Accord
ingly he sent for his daughter, and, altho
the little one is but 10 years Of age, he
arranged for her to make L. trip alone
Relatives placed the girl on board an
American liner at Liverpool, and since
that time she has not seen a familiar
face. Across the Atlantic she was the
especial pet Of the passengers, who took
good care OF her, and when the big boat
reached New York city a railroad official
was at the pier to guide her to the sta
ton and put her on board train for Chi
cago At that city she was again met by
passenger officials and a few hours later
was on her way for the twin cities.
When little Dorothy reaches Seattle she
Will nave made a journey Of over G, 900
miles alone and will have accomplished
the entire trip in less than two weeks
making record Of which any little girl
may well feel proud.

ny MEN BUSY DAYS
Court Clerks Records Show Unusu.
ally Large Number Of Marriage
Licenses for June.
The Total Was s91-The Highest
Previous Record for Month
Was 315.
Oh, rank is good and gold is fair, and high and
low mate i'll,
But love hath never known law beyond It's own
zS8 sweet will. ~

And loye's own sweet will in the perfect
month of June just completed has
tended irresistibly toward the marriage
altar According to the records Of the
county marriage license clerk, 7s2 wills
belonging to members Of high low and
intermediate society have combined to
make June this county's banner month
In the matrimonial industry.
In the past thirty days just 391 licenses
have been issued at the county clerk S
office, bringing into the county treasury
$7S2. This record is seventy-one better
than that Of any other month in the his
tory OF Hennepin county and Is an elo-
quent tribute to the prosperous times and
to the growing love of home life, june
which always takes the lead among the
months in the number of weddings solemn
lied, presents the following record: 1898,
l65; 1899. Iii; 1900, 256; 1901, 1858; 1902, 313;
1903. 391. This month also completes the
first half Of 1903 and the books show that
In that time there have been 1,225 mar
rlage licenses issued, by far the largest
number for any such period.
Among the large number Of people made
happy In June there have been several
unusual cases and many are the anus
Ing experiences which Deputy Clerk Swift
Ter has to relate. From sophisticated
members of the 400 down to men in jail,
charged with crime, have come the seek
ers after matrimonial permissions. There
have been applicants too recently divorced
to be given a chance to try again; there
have been poor people and misery ones
who have tried to induce the clerk to cut
down the price Of licenses. There was
one man who secured the necessary docu-
ment and then wanted to be directed to
the home for orphans, as he wished tc
make the adoption Of a child a part OF
the wedding ceremony. Fair faced ac-
tresses have taken their place in the wait
ing line and there was the case of the
Portland doctor who married the lady Of
his choice and then is said to have at
tempted to chloroform her three nights
afterWard.
All Of these and many more varieties Of
seekers after martial bliss have visited the
courthouse in the rare days Of June an6
the air of the big building has been one
of gaiety and rejoicing, made SO by the
| frequent appearance of strangely attiree
wedding parties and eager brides ant

THEY HAVE NO LICENSES
Railroad Commission Threatens t
Proceed Against Commission Men

It Is said by the state railroad and
warehouse commission that between forty
and fifty commission merchants are doing
business in the twin cities without Ii
censes. The license fee Is only 81, but 1t
is evaded by some merchants because the
license makes them responsible to Gus
toners. and is liable to be revoked for
breach Of contract The commission has
been collecting information, and will
shortly proceed against some OF the Of
tenders. The penalty for violation of the
law is a fine OF from $25 to 500. A fine
has already been collected from one Du-
luth firm, Allen & Burns, which pleaded
guilty to selling a carload Of hay on com
mission without holding a license. The
commission is determined to enforce the
law, which furnishes protection to the
farmers selling thru commission houses.

SWEET PEA EDUCATION
A Benefit to Be Derived From The
Journal Sweet Pea Show

.
One Of the results to be obtained from
The Journal sweet-pea show will be finer
sweet peas and richer varieties for those
who study the subject In other words,
the show will give an education in sweet
peas. One will not only see beautiful
flowers at the show, but he will gather
ideas which will some day take form i'll
better sweet peas in his flower garden.
u. =. Patthey.. manager Of The Journal
show, drops a preliminary hint as to
methods of improving ones flowers.
s, The flower grower; he says, has an
ideal, picture, for example, of a deep,
clear pink flower, which he wishes to see
realized. How can he reach his ideal?
The first thing is to go thru the rows Of
his pink flowers and mark those plants
which produce flowers nearest his men
tai picture. The seeds from these plants
are kept separate and sown by themselves
From the best plants produced from these
seeds he again takes the seed, taking care
not to get his stock crossed. With care
and patience he will before long see his
ideal sweet pea realized. His. seeds will
can. then give the stock a name and put
it on the market or exhibit it at a flower
show.
It is not necessary to have gone thru
this process to exhibit and try for prizes
at The Journal sweet-pea, show, however.
One may have produced pleasing results
without such process Of selection, and
these should be exhibited. No collection
is too small for entry at the show. A
postal card, addressed to Mr.. Patthey,
giving address, will receive prompt atten-
ton and be answered with full particu-
lars.

Reasons Why the Savings
Bank of Minneapolis Pays
SEQ Dividends ON Some of
It's Deposits.

Its Deposits.
The Officers Of this Bank are sometimes
asked why the Bank pays a higher rate OF
interest than other Savings Banks.
The following reasons are frankly
stated:
First-The Bank earns s per cent.
Second-To build up a business, q young
Bank must offer advantages that an
older need not.
Third-The Bank has control Of a con-
siderable bunch Of excellent Securities
bearing good rate Of interest. The
benefit Of this interest the Bank is
willing to share with its customers.
Fourth-Modern demands make the cut
ting out Of all middle men imperative.
The Bank takes the money from the
hand Of the Deposition and places It
directly in the hand Of the best bor-
rover.
Fifth-The Bank will gradually reduce
its rate to 4 per cent, at which rate,
under its own methods, the Bank
would rather do business than follow
the methods OF It's neighbors at per
cent. Absolute safety is always the
very first consideration.
Sixth-Many exceedingly strong Savings
Banks all over the country are paying
per cent, 50 this Bank Is in excellent
company.
Seventh-It Is we'll known that 4 Bank
strong enough to reduce its interest
will invariably increase it's customers.
The act OF reduction Is the evidence
Of strength,
