as indicated in the cut. The box will
rest firmly against the wall and can
be provided with nesting material.
When this is soiled and broken the
box can be raised to thee position
terial in the nests will fall to the floor,
leaving the box clean. 1t is almost
impossible, says the Orange Judd Far
mer, TO clean out the corners of a nest
box that is nailed in place, and in the
dirt that fills the corners vermin are
sure TO multiply An orange box makes
two handy nests, with almost no work,
and hinged in this way makes cleaning
easy.

This description of Gravel" party

tertainment on similar lines. 1t is
adaptable to the needs of club and
church society affairs, and a clever
hostess or committee will doubtless
add many more places to those given
here.
Send out the invitations for rapid
trip around the world-a personally
conducted party, to start on a given
day and hour. Then prepare as many
little red-bound booklets as there will
be guests; mark them "Baedeker's

objects to represent the cities and

Worn with Low Neck, Pointed Neck,
Round Neck and Al1o with
Square Cut.

The necker, by the way, is one of the
prettiest of the summer styles. Taken
in a season when nearly all waists open
in the back, it was not to be expected
that this article of dress would be pop
ular. The reverse, is, however, the
case, and the handsome little embroid-
cred necker is found filing very USE
full part in the wardrobe. It is worn
with the low neck, with the pointed
neck, with the round neck and with
the deep, square-cut neck.
The necker is also worn where there
is a cloth jacket, cut little bit low in
the neck, yet not low enough to require
a shirt waist. On very hot days there
is some convenient arrangement of

gone, but they could not see through
the darkness outside mean over
whelming blackness that rolled upon
us in black waves outrunning the black
mist at the back. I could feel it, taste
it 1t almost stifled me, and my
tongue swelled till it nearly filled my
mouth, and l gasped for breath.
"The end," | wrote. Goodbye"
And suddenly the black waves pass
ed and the world sprang upon us out
of the dark! 1t was bright day, and
the sky was blue. Alice grasped my
arm till her fingers hurt. We turned
| to one another and saw-strangers!
Alice has never told me what she
expected to see and what she saw, and
l have never told her; but think she
expected to discover a handsome, we'll
groomed young gentleman, and know
that l had thought of her as dark
haired, dark-eyed, rosy-cheeked, pref
tily dressed girl of 20. She found a
creature who looked like tramp;
bent, unkempt, unshaven ruffian, who
might have been 40. l saw a fair
haired, blue-eyed, white-faced, travel
stained-child! For she whom / had
taken for the lady of my dreams was
but tall schoolgirl of 10!
We sat and stared at one another.
Our lips trembled when we tried to
speak. | think we should have hurt
one another if we had spoken, but the
woman's heart in her childish body
saved everybody. She took my hand
and wrote on it slowly.
Friend! Kind friend!"
And then took her hands in mine
and spoke. My voice was hoarse with
thirst and weakness.
God bless you, 6ear!" said. God
bless you This is the sun and the
sound. We are the loyal and loving
friends that we have been-that we
shall be always"
always" she said; and we rose and
walked forth to find the world, hand
in hand.
It was Central park, and the people
gave us food and drink; and in an
hour we reached her home.
That is the end of my story Of the
dark days that men lost. You know
as well as I that the astronomers
reckon that they were seven; and say
that the darkness and deafness were
due to our passing through an ether
less space which stopped light, and, il
some way which they cannot explain,
deadened the sound vibrations of the
air. Sometimes / think that the days
OF darkness were not in vain; and last
night / almost wished them back.

saw me to the door as usual. We have
always loved one another as a man
and a child may love, and now she has
ceased to be child, and does her hair
up in a golden knob. think her very
beautiful.
We lad just reached the door when
suddenly the electric light went out.
She gave a sharp cry, and in moment
she was in my arms Then I lifted
her face and wrote with my finger on
her cheek:

She did not speak, but pressed my
hand upon her face to feel her smile
the smile that lit my heart in the dark
days.

Good Dentifrice.

For the teeth, a good and harmless
dentrif1ce is composed of two parts
powdered orris root and one part each
of prepared chalk and CASTLE soap. To
clean the teeth, put equal parts of salt
and cooking soda in thin muslin rag
and rub the teeth with that. The salt
strengthens the gums and the soda is
harmless if the mouth is well rinsed
after it's use.

WILL TEST THE LAW.
Reason Why the Pioneer Press, Dis
patch and News Were Indicted.

Back of the Indictment of the three
daily papers in st. Paul, The Dispatch
Pioneer Press, and News, is story to
the effect that the papers are at the
bottom of their own indictments.
At the hanging of William Williams
in st. Paul, none of the papers was al
lowed to have representatives present by
Sheriff Nielsen, who had charge of the
execution. In spite of this, however,
the papers had complete detailed stories
of the hanging, and one paper criticized
the execution Us bunging job.
Governor johnson investigated, but
found nothing to cause action to be TAX
en- on his part.
This was not pleasing to the papers;
were the criticisms which Nielsen and
some of his hackers made OF the ar
tces published. So it was that the
newspapers had evidence brought before
the grand jury for their own indictments
under al almost forgotten law, and one
never before enforced, prohibiting de,
tailed accounts of executions of Grimm
ais. The papers desire to test the law,
which they do not believe constitutional,
and at the same time get court ruling
on the proposition as to whether news
papers can have representatives at hang
ings.

father at that place on Feb. 81 DIR.
Kerfoot was called to Vancouver on Feb.
by his fathers serious illness and was

trouble was general nervous break
down. He passed away very quietly,
aged seventy-two years. He is survived
by a wife and five children, all of whom

OPPOSITION DEVELOPS.
System Of Naming North Mankato
Avenues Will be Changed.

The North Mankato council held
special meeting Saturday evening, and
talked over the proposed change OF
names of some of the streets there.
Some opposition has developed to the
change of one or two of the names, on
the ground that they are the names of
residents there, and the matter was re-
ferred to committee of the whole
council, to select new names and report
ut another special meeting to be held
next Monday night. The aldermen will
meet as committee of the whole to-
night to talk the matter over. The
system of avenues going one way and
streets the other will be left, but the
avenues may not be numbered, because
of the fact that the avenues in the
northern part of this city are number.
ed the same way, and it has been sug-
gested that some confusion might re,
suit.
The plat of the numbering of the lots
will doubtless be adopted. No other
business came up at the meeting.

BILL is PAID.
Wife OF Man Who Guaranteed Wo-
mans Board Helps Him Out.

TOUl lucSudy DdHy.
William Bohlig, former hotel keeper
at Belle Plaine, was in the city yes
terday to collect bill for $50 from a
Mankato man who has done travelling
on the road and who guaranteed the
board of a young woman at Bohlig's
hotel. The bill was not paid by the
young woman, and the Mankato man
failed to keep an appointment to meet
Mr.. BOhlig at bank yesterday, so the
letter sought out the mans wife and
told the story to her, and showed her
letters in which her husband promised
undying love for the young woman and
promised to lead her to the altar within
week. The wife paid the bill, and
fortunately her husband was able to eX-
plain the matter so satisfactorily that
peace is prevailing in the family cir
al
