A Close Call.

A fire in the fifth floor of the Gil
fillan building, Jackson and Fourth
streets, St. Paul, filled the floor with
dense black smoke and forced Inga &C.
darburg, a stenographer, to seek re-
fuge at window. She was carried
down to the street on a 100foot ladder
by Lieut.. Edward Low Of truck COM
Bpany No. 2. The feat was particularly
hazardous, for the ladder did not quite
reach to the window. The girl had to
climb along narrow ledge and decend
by long pole to reach the steps of the
ladder.
The loss is estimated at about 81, 900.

Damaged by Wind.

The hotel which is being built by a
stock company on the north shore of
Detroit Lake was badly damaged by a
severe wind. The gale swept across
the lake with such violence that the
building buckled, the two lower stories
being thrown about five feet out of
plumb. It is expected that the entire
structure will have to be taken down
and rebuilt, which will involve an ex-
pend1ture Of about 81, 900. The hotel
was 4Ox13O feet with three stories and
and attic and had just been enclosed
and shingled.

BEAUTIES OF THE ARCTIC.

One of the most vivid descrip.
tons of arctic scenery ever
penned is given by Harry De
Nindt in his book, paris to New
York by Land" In it he gives the
following picture of the ARCTIC

Told the Truth and Died.

A Missouri editor announced tha, lust
for one issue he would tell the truth.
Here are a few items from that
issue.
"John BONN, the LATEST merchant in
town made trip to Bellview yesterday.
"John Doyle, our groceryman, is do
ing poor business. His store is dirty.
dusty, and notoriously oderiferous.
How can he expect to do much
REV Styz preached Sunday night on
"Charity." The sermon was punk
Ii the reverend gentleman would live
up little closer to what he breaches he
would have bigger congregations.
"Dave Sonkey died at his home in
this place Saturday. The doctor gave
it out as heart failure. The fact is that
he was drunk and whiskey is what
killed him. His home was rented
shack in Roudy street.
"Married-Miss Sylvia Rhoden and
James Canadian, last Saturday evening,
at the Baptist parsonage. The bride is
very ordinary town girl, who doesn't
know any more about cooking than a
rabbit, and never helped her mother
three days in her life. She is not a
beauty, by any means, and has a gait
like a fat duck. The groom is we'll
known here as an up to date loafer
He has been living off the folks all his
life, and doesn't amount to shucks.
They will have hard life while they
live together, and the News has no con.
gratulations to offer, for we don't be-
Iieve any good can come of such a
union"
The issue in which he told the truth
was the last one for that editor. Now
in the morn, when the dew diamonds
sparkle and the sweet throated birds
make melody, the subscribers to that
paper while it was published, drive out
into the country short way and gaze
meditatively upon a piece of tanned
skin hanging on a barbed wire fence.
1t is all that remains of the once manly
form of the editor who told the truth
for one week.

Shipments of fruit boxes are made from

They are telling this one on one of
our local doctors. A patient called at
his office, stated his ills, and the doctor
wrote prescription and handed it to
him. The patient then inquired the
probable cost of getting 1t filled and
was told about go cents would pay the
bill. The patient then asked the doc.

doctor, scratching his head, drew a line
through several parts of the prescrip-

saving, "Now you can get it filled for a
dime. Those I scratched out were for
