ERIE AS A BOULEVARD
Park Board May Include It in Plans
for Parade.

1t has been suggested to the park
commissioners that they should ask the
city council to transfer the control of
Erie avenue from the council to the
converted into a boulevard. If this is
done, the driveway which is partially
to encircle the Parade will not encroach
on the park lands proper, but instead
Erie avenue will be Incorporated in the
park plan. This thorofare forms the
northern boundary of the Parade, and
practically all the property from Lyn-
dale avenue to the railway tracks is
unoccupied and unsightly as well.
Nevertheless some of the park com
missioners are not favorable to the
plan, which, it is understood, was
originally proposed by Thomas Lowry
because the park board has had con
siderable trouble with city streets
turned over to it by the council, as fol
instance, Hennopin avenue and Lyndale
| avenue.

MAY END LONG WRANGL.E
Park Board May Authorize Phone
Companies Employee to Trim Trees.

Some agreement between the park
board and the telephone companies re-
garding the cutting of trees may be
reached before long. The companies are
willing to pay the salary Of a man ap-
pointed by the board and authorized by
that body to cut and trim trees so that
their branches shall not interfere with
the aerial wires. Commissioner G.. M.
Loring did not like the idea proposed,
but. the companies were asked to present
their proposition in writing and the
matter was thereupon dropped.
Commissioner w. W. Folwell g resolu-
ton prohibiting members of the park
board from becoming directly or indi-
rectly interested in any contract, pur-
chase or lease with the park board was
adopted by a unanimous vote after
Commissioner John S. Dodge had made
stirring remark in it's favor.
A motion to instruct the superintend-
emit Of parks to lower the level of Lake
Calhoun to LAB feet was lost, but Mr..
Berry was instructed to keep the ice
away from the pavilion at Lake Har-
riet.
It was decided to build a bridge
across the street railway tracks at Park
boulevard at the cost Of $3.50 and to
secure plans for new pavilion at Min
nehaha, which should not cost over
$100 900.

MINNEAPOLIS MAN
...'> KNEW BETSY BIGLEY

Betsy Bigley-the present Mrs.
Chadwick, central figure in the biggest
sensation of the. day-was a wild sort
of harum scarum girl with an inor-
dinate love for fine dress in her maiden
days at Woodstock, Ont. She was pop
ular, altho living too far from town
to be right in the fashionable set, with
an almost hypnotic power over men, rec
ognized even in those early days: She
seemed to be very good girl, but
prankish. Former Woodstock. people
recognize in Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick
the development Of the early traits
they saw in Betsy Bigley.
James Henderson, buyer at Dayton g.,
was a boy at Woodstock twenty five
years ago, and remembers Mrs: Chad
wick as a young girl Of about % very
well. Her Brantford episode, when she
paraded several days as man, excited
a great deal of talk in the small village,
After the revelation that the Reuben
Kipp note offered in payment Of dry
goods bill at Woodstock, was a forgery,
Betsy dropped from sight, and Mr.. Hen
derson did not hear of her until she
appeared in Ohio as Madame de We're.

MAY ASK LEGISLATURE
TO JOIN THE LAKES

The Lake Of the Isles Improvement
association, composed of residents of
Kenwood, Green s addition, Lowry hill
and between Hennepin avenue and the
Lake of the Isles, will hold a meeting
this evening in the Grace Presbyterian
church, Twenty eighth street and Hum
boldt.
The association is formed to bring
about general improvements in the ter
ritory in which it's members live. The
special topic for discussion this even
ing will be that of possible legislative
appropriation for joining the various
lakes in that part Of the city. The first
step would be to join the lakes, and
this would be in direct line with the
plan to divert the course of Bassett's
creek, in North Minneapolis, bringing
the stream thru Cedar lake, Lake of the
Isles, Calhoun and Harriet into Minneha-
ha creek, thus giving those lakes better,
fresher water and preventing the recur-
renee of floods Of Bassett g creek, which
in past years have done much damage
and caused much inconvenience in
North Minneapolis.
The officers of the association are F.

WINTER WONDERS
OF NORTHLAND.
HOW HARRY DICKEY ENTER.
TANNED BROTHER FROM DIXIE.
Attempted to Demonstrate the Miracle
of Ice and the Manifestation of Skat-
ing - Kind-hea Farmers Con-
tributed to Change Of Vestments
After the Ice Broke In.

Harry G. Dickey, the grain man who
lives at 1925 Second avenue s, holds the
clue to the identity Of two persons, who
marched in strange procession along the
railroad track, Sunday, at Lake Mime
tonka, from a point two miles above
Wayzata to the railway station. Mr..
Dickey is holding the clue, but if he
were to confess he would say that the
very meek-looking man, about six feet
two inches tall, wearing clothes built
for man 5 feet 9, with an expression
of general depression, was Harry Dick
ey, and that the other end Of the pro-
cession, man who was evidently under
great seff-restraint, was his brother
from the south.
Compatible with his reputation for
being remarkably entertaining host,
it devolved upon the frst-named Dickey
to show his brother from the southland
the sights. One Of the absolutely
unique ones, not attainable, just now,
would have been snow storm; His
brother had never seen snow. The next
best way, of course, an ice-locked sheet
OF water. So the two took a train for
Mlnnetonka. In secluded bend in the
lake shore Harry essayed to show his
brother one of the uses to which the
strengthening ice is put, and at the
same time what peach of skater he
was.
After they had dug the skater out of
the water and had revived him, the
sympathetic farmers arrayed him in the
garments of a short member of their
clan and the Dickeys took up the line of
march to Wayzata. Dickey is reported
to know what it is to be short on the
clothing market, while long on some
other things, such as stature and expert
ence.

SHOP EARLY AND
AVOID LATE RUSH.
RETAILERS LIKE TO SEE HOII-
DAY BUYING PROMPT.
This Is Big Season, with Stocks Of
Every Sort Never More Attractive,
Money Plentiful and Weather Propi-
tious out-of- Town Shoppers Congest
the Stores Later.

Retail dealers would like to relieve
their patrons from the inconvenience
Of making their Christmas purchases in
the final rush which is inevitable in a
year when stocks were never so attrac-
tive and money plentiful. They would
like to have Christmas shoppers come
early, both for the advantage to their
patrons and thru desire to give good
clerk and delivery service.
Shoppers would get a much better
choice of stocks and would be able to
move thru the aisles more easily and
avoid the general annoyance Of strug
ling in a throng of Christmas buyers
if they would come early" said the
manager of one of the big stores this
morning.
This expression is unanimous among
the retail houses Christmas stocks ar
rive about Dec. and are displayed
early. 1t stands to reason, therefore,
they say, that ''the early bird, etc. -
Good opportunities for selection, quick
attention from clerks and quick deliv-
cry Of purchases are some OF the joys
ed shopper who finishes the bulk Of his
buying early. -
Christmas shoppers are expected to
have lots of money to spend this year.
A preliminary round of the stores by
the early shoppers has revealed an as
tonishing array OF beautiful, unique
and serviceable as we'll as ornamental
articles with which the merchants have
anticipated the generous and universal
buying that is predicted. ASSIGNMENTS
Of unusual merit for purses of all con
! ditions are found in every description
j,of shop, either the department stores
dry goods stores, shoe shops, drug
stores, women's furnishing goods stores
haberdasheries for men, confectionery
shops, and thru the whole gamut Of
the city's retail industries. This early
| inspection shows also that many shop
| pers have not needed the memory Of
former years logged to get them out
for an early peep at the displays anc
for first chance to select from the
almost unbroken lots.
| The uncertainty of the weather i:
another argument advanced by tn
storekeepers for early shopping. Min
nesota weather in December is capri
cious. This week balmy breezes which
! make a good imitation Of summer ar
blowing and the weather is ideal TO-
a buying round of the stores. Mex
week-well, the temperature may b.
almost Icelandic.
One cause for the usual crowded con
dition Of the stores just before Christ
mas is the influx of buyers from ou
of town who have postponed their com
ing until the last week Of the purchas
| ing season.
