4 Now DovIoo.

Geo. M. Robbins has 4 new appli-
ance for pumping water out OF our
flood ed cellars and is coming to the
relief Of many Of our people who find
the problem a very difficult one when
1t comes to pumping water by hand
with no signs of abatement. He has
mounted on wheels all the parapher-
MALTA which is used for this task and
his force Of men have been kept quite
busy ever since the recent heavy rains
attending to numerous calls from
owners of cellars and cisterns.
The device is quite simple and is
something that might have been put
to use long ago, but it only remained
for George to come to the front with
his original idea. He uses 21-horse
power Fairbanks, Morse & Co. gaso-
line engine, which furnishes the power
for q four.inch cylinder Cyclone tank
pump, with which it is conveniently
connected. Sufficient power is fur
nished by this method to pump out 80
gallons of water per minute. OF
course George has all the hose and
necessary paraphernalia for the
proper connections and when once at
tached short work is made of the
draining of both cellars and cisterns.

Will Probably Reopen.

There is at present deal pending,
whereby the Willmar Steam Laundry,
which has been closed for some time,
may again be re-opened for work,
through local parties. The Steam
Laundry has for a long time past had
q somewhat uncertain existence, hav-
ing been operated by several parties
who have in turn disposed of the
property. It has been found neces-
sary, in order to have a paying insti-
tuition, to make several improve
ments, and that was the reason why it
was closed also this last time.
The present owners, Messrs. Fritz
and Smith, have not had time to take
care of the business themselves and
Messrs. Albert Gorwell and Charles
Arnold have had charge of the bust
ness, and have operated it as we'll
as anybody could under the circum-
stances. We hope that the Steam
Laundry will soon be reopened for
business aud see no reasons why it
could not be made profitable if the
proper fixtures are put in.

PostmaSteP'S Smiles.

The following from an exchange
will no doubt be appreciated by many
postof6ce patrons and especially by
our genial postmaster, c. A. Birch:
When you open your letters be sure
and tear your envelopes into fine bits
of paper and throw them on the floor.
The postmaster likes to sweep up pa
per.
If the postmaster is not at the win
dow when you call for mail be sure
and rattle it so he will come at once
He has nothing else to do and even if
he is busy at another window it will
make him hurry to wait on you.
1t the letter or paper you expected
Is not there, the postmaster has surely
misplaced it and it is your duty to see
that he finds it
If the general delivery windows are
not open, kindly ask the postmaster to
give you your mail. He likes to &C.
commodate the public before the time
to open.
If the train is late, it is the post.
masters fault for not putting out the
mail quicker and it is the public's
duty to proclaim his slowness even if
the mail is heavy.

HARRY LEHR'S Joke.
Introduced a Musician to Mrs. Stuyve-
SAINT Fish as a Portrait Painter and
Causes Merriment at Newport,

There is story going the rounds Of
soclety at Newport, R: l., OF a joke
played on Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish by Har-
~ Lehr, and it is causing merriment in
the cottage colony.
When in front Of the Casino one
morning Mrs. Fish told Mr.. Lehr that
she wished that there was a portrait
painter in town, as she desired to have
Z picture painted. Mr.. Lehr told the
popular matron that there was such a
nan, well-known Italian painter Of
miniatures, and that he had just az
lived in town, and that if Mrs. Fish
would allow him he would go and bring
him to her.
Mrs. Fish was agreeable, and Mr.. Lehr
departed for the painter. He soon re-
turned with a distinguished looking
person, who was formally introduced
to Mrs. Fish, and arrangements were
at once made for sitting. When the
time came for the painter to appear
at Crossways, Mrs. Fish was surprised
10 see Mr.. Lehr drive up with roll
In his hand. She asked the cause Of
the visit, and 1t was then that Mr.. Lehr
told her of the joke that he had played
ana that the supposed painter was no
other than the well-known violinist.
S1gnor G. Ricci. who had asked Mr..
Lehr to present Mrs. Fish with a copy
OF new waltz which he had Just COM
posed and dedicated to her.
The name of the waltz is THE Lead
ing Society Lady," and Mrs. Fish re-
ce1ved the copy with thanks for the au-
thor.
