GREAT NORTH TO,L.
An Interesting Story About

ing the announcement that the Great
Northern railway and the Minneapolis
q st. Paul Interurban railway are to
clinch next summer and fight for the
Minnetonka business. comes informa.
ton to the effect tnat the rivalry is
to be carried into other territory.
Mr.. Hill, it is said, is planning to
take the Initiative with view to
heading off any Lowry trolley extern
sions to the north. From a closs
source comes he information that the
Hill sys tenn will establish an improved
sarvice north of Minneapolis. begin
ming with the lines leading toward
Fargo. his service will include
Anoka, Elk River and st. Cloud, and
possibly also Little Falls. The dis
tance from Minneapolis to. Little
Falls is 1903 miles, and in addition to
the four larger cities, there sra sever
al smaller towns in the Intermediate
territory.
For some time there has neen gen-
eral feeling that tie twin city electric
system would eventually branch ont
to the north. 1t was also believed
that Anoka would be one Of the first
power developments now going on
north Of Minneapolis, ia any one of
which the Lowry interests might be
indirectly interested. BY establishing
q frequent rapidtrain service through
this country the demand tor trolley
would be considerably lessened.
Mr.. Hill is also said to have his
eye on the ball as far as the Duluth
Superior business is concerned. He
now has the 5usin ness too ell in hand
TO relish any invasion by electric
lines, and it is said will NOT allow it
to be goDbled without f*ht. The
first expense Of sCEnc,iug new
lines thru his territory would be
very heavy. With tbs property he
now has, he could, at small exT ense,
increase the service to s7ch al extent
that the business woult be more than
cared for.
Wherever his plan may be. it is
said 70 be certain that the qulck SER
vice will be established from the twin
cities north as far as St. Cloud by
another year.

4 Partisan Confidence Came.

A pork butcher of the Latin quar-
ter in Paris was asked for credit by a
piteous little Italian boy with a violin.
The lad told how his mother and sister
We're supperIess in their garnet. Not a
sou had the poor little musician made
that day. If he left his violin as a
pledge would not the pork butcher let
him have a string of sausages? The
passionate tradesman agreed at
once and the boy handing over his in
strument, went off with a plentiful
supper The next day a welI-dressed
man, happening to look in at the shop
saw the violin, examined it and start
ed back in surprise. Did the pork
butcher know what a treasure he had ?
1t was a Stradivarius, worth any
amount.
Having heard the story of the Italian
boy, the we'll dressed gentleman pro-
posed that the tradesman should buy
the instrument. If he got it for $3.50
it would be dirt cheap and the well
him afterWard for ten times that
amount. The boy came to pay for his
sausages and to claim the violin. "Sel
iti' he exclaimed when asked by the
pork butcher Never, for it the only
treasure left me from my grandfather,
to whose grandfather it had belonged
before that"
At last, however, having gone home
to consult his mother, he agreed. En-
bracing his beloved violin, with tears
in his eyes, he parted with it for $40.
The supposed amateur never turned
up. The pork butcher took the violin
to a dealer who pronounced it to be
worth rs cents.-ChicagO News.

In The Worlds Work for December
is this story of an incident in the career
of Mr. Frederick MacMonnies, the
sculptor:
OF late years Mr.. AGacMOnnies has had
so many commissions to do groups of
sculpture that he has made it a rule
never to enter a competition with other
artists for an order. In this connection
a story is told of an American city that
asked him to enter a design for army
and navy groups for a soldiers and
sailors monument. He declined to com
pete. Then the commission was tender
ed him outright. He submitted sketches
Of his idea for the groups. The COM
mittee in charge of the monument wrote
him, asking, How many tons of granite
DO you intend to use in the base?" His
reply was, IF you are in the business
OF buying granite you may use as much
as YOU want, one ton or one hundred
thousand tons. I am an artist, and 1
have never yet heard Of art being bought
by the pound The question was drop
ped until the contract for the commits
sion was drawn. When Mr.. MacMon-
mics received it he discovered in it a
clause providing that in case the bronzes
were ever thrown down from their base,
by any cause whatever, and any person
or property should be injured he and
his heirs forever should be liable for the
damage sustained. He returned the con-
tract without comment unsigned.
When the committee wrote him asking
the reason his brief reply was: Your
lawyers are too sharp"

who kept all of the sharks out of the
way
"Darbys heat was almost broken
when his manager refused to take the
bet of 100000 that Darby couldn't swim
down Wall street, in New York, on the
day they watered the stocks. Darby
cried and begged his manager to take
the bet, but he answered:
Darby, me boy, there'u be an awful
flood the way they water the stock in
Wall street; but I'm not afraid OF that
I'm wiilin to bet that you could swim
down Wall street in spite Of the flood
when they water the stocks. But
Darby, me boy, here's where we'd lose.
I could never keep all of the sharks out
Of Wall street
But Darby won the bet of $4,000
against the Norwegian swimmer Olaf
OlafsOn. Darby came down to the
wharf with a big iron collar around
his neck, a heavy chain attached to
the collar, and the other end welded
onto a big anvil. The Norwegian looked
at him and asked what he was carrying
such a weight for and Darby answered:
I promised to bring my brother an
American anvil when L came back to
Ireland, and I'm only keeping my
promish like an Irish gentleman.
THAT scared the Norwegian almost to
death, and he ran away and forfeited
his bet rather than swim against such
man. Los Angeles Times
