WORE TIGHTS AFTER ALL
MISS BAIER APPEARED IN THIS
! COSTUME AT BEAUTY SHOW,
SAYS RALPH THAYER.

Ralph Thayer, who, with Miss jean
nette Baier, represented the north
west in the physical culture competi-
ton at Madison Square Garden, has
returned from New York. Mr.. Thayer
says that Miss Baier, as well as the
other young women who took part in
the contest, wore tights, the costume
being modified only by a sashlike
drapery around the waist. Mr.. Thayer
says, however, that he did not con-
slider the dress immodest, and that the
audience, as a rule, regarded the eX-
hibition in it's true light, and he in
timated his opinion that those who
disapproved Of the show took a very
narrow view. ..
Miss Baier, Mr.. Thayer says, had
already posed once when she received
the telegram from her mother request
ing her not to take part in the exhi-
bition, and she decided to continue

EHLERS' OWN SHOP
The Popular Barber Establishes Him
self in the Bank of Commerce
RuiIdinu

Charlie Ehlers, who, during the
eleven years he was associated with
Paul Petit, acquired an unequaled
popularity, signalized the beginning Of
the new year by establishing himself
in business, and is now the propri-
etor of one of the finest barber shops
in the city, in the basement of the
Bank of Commerce, building, LOT
Fourth street S.
Not only is it one of the largest
and lightest barber shops in the city,
but it is also one of the best equipped
and best ventilated, and from the
resting-room to the tiled and marble
walled entrance it is as complete as
it is possible to make a barber shop.
The patent hydraulic Koken bar
Der chairs, the large frames in which
are set the French plate mirrors, the
settees in the resting-room, and all
the furniture, is of antique oak, the
chairs and settees being finished in
Spanish leather.
With marble wainscoting, tiled
floors, perfect plumbing and expert
service, the new Ehlers shop finds
a place we'll at the top of that class
at which the proprietor's friends are
accustomed to being served.

A HEAVY DAYS BUSINESS
Monday the Heaviest Days Business
in the History of the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank.

in the History of the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank.
New Years Day the leading editorial
in The Journal treated upon the
great prosperity Of the Great North
west and Minneapolis in particular,
using as a barometer the comparative
figures Of its own business. This is
most convincing. Yet the figures
cleaned from the reports of the saw
ings banks Of Minneapolis substanti-
ate the conclusions arrived at by this
editorial. The total number Of de-
positors in Savings banks alone are
more than $4,000. Of these $4,000 are
carried by the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank, which sum up in the aggregate
s12,00O,00O. The number of depositors
would indicate that there are one for
every four people in Minneapolis.
But this is erroneous, as the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank carry many de-
posts Of people living in st. Paul and
intermediate territory. This institu-
ton has come to be looked upon as
a Gibraltar of strength in banking in
the Twin Cities.
AS a criterion of the great prosperity
the number of depositors is far more
significant than the total amount of
the deposits because it indicates that
almost everybody is sharing in the
prosperity, Furthermore that the popu-
lation are as whole thrifty and jul
dicious Last Monday the Farmers
and Mechanics Savings Bank did the
heaviest days business in it's history.
There entered the bank on that day
over 1900 people Of whom 1,45s
made deposits Of $142,214.52, and 719
withdrew $9O,43S.54. The balance
of the depositors were unable to get tC
the windows and were obliged to call
the next day. The tellers waited on
five people every minute the bank was
open. The trustees will be obliged tc
increase the size of the banking-room
within the next two years. q

EAT ST. ANTHONY
PARK BEAUTIES
RABBITS FEEDING ON SHRUB
Berries OF THAT SUBURB.
They're of the Wise Sort That Uncle
Remus Tells of, and Can't Be
Caught in Iraps-Use the Traps as
Step Ladders to Get at the Bushes
Park People in Despair.

Brown, blinking Bunnie is now be-
ing hunted like wild beast, rabid
wolf, man-eating tiger by the
alarmed populace of st. Anthony
Park, The fierce rabbit is being slow
ly exterminated. But I guess it'll
take about two or three hundred
years. said O. F. Polk, a resident of
the suburb, explaining matters yester-
day, land meantime he's growing fat
on rose bushes, snowballs-the vege-
table kind-and all our other shrub
berry. Half the bushes in our neigh
borhood are now tied up in linen ban
dages as if they had the mumps.
While 'Ole Brer Rabbit lived UNI
der our wooden sidewalks he used to
eat nails or pine wood and leave our
bushes alone. But since his burrows
began to unsettle the wooden walks,
and we started to lay down cement
instead of planks, he's taken to our
woodsheds and barns and gardens and
front yards.
We've done our best to trap him
and poison him, but he's every bit
as cunning as Uncle Remus described
him. The other night, for example,
Rab' shifted the apple, but he
wouldn't go into the trap-not he
He simply undermined one edge of
the box, like a subway contractor, till
the box fell over and the apple rolled
off into his paws. The same schemer,
I guess it was-a big, fat jack that
must have weighed fifteen pounds
tackled box trap that set last night
beneath some shrubs. I looked out
this morning thru the kitchen win
dow and caught sight of Mister Rab-
bit. He wasn't fool enough to worry
about the bait. He simply hoped
up on top of the trap and was enjoy
ing comfortable, convenient break
fast off the shrubbery. Well, my wife
was so tickled that I just let him
eat.''

FOR DECEMBER SHOWS A BUSY
MONTH.

ciated Charities to the executive COM
mittee to-day showed a big months
business. Applications for assistance
for 257 families were received, IS Of
them being for families not hereto
fore helped. This record is double
that for December, 1902. The differ
ence was attributed by Mr.. Jackson
to lack of employment and increased
cooperation on the part of other or
CARNATIONS with the Associated Char
tiles. It was not caused by the clear
ing of Christmas lists thru the asso-
citation.
The appeals for help came from 81
separate sources, and information was
asked about families from twenty
sources.
The visiting nurse had an excep-
ton ally busy month, making total
of 14S calls on 81 families, or an av-
erage of about six calls a day.
