spreading to the entire building.
Mr.. Carlson was not at home at
the time. Mrs. Carlson and the
children being. alone in the build

worn by the members OF the
family was saved from the flames.
One of the peculiar coincidents
of the confagration was that just

was destroyed by fire which de

SOLE CHARGE.
John Abercrombie of Alexander
lncapacitated by Railroad
Accident.

/ st. Paul, Jan. 23.The state
drainage survey which was
stopped last fall, will be resumed
at once and finished about June /.
The $500 appropriation for next
year which does not. become
available till Aug.1, will be an
ticipated by arrangements with
the banks.
| The state drainage com mission
met yesterday with the engineer,
George A. Ralph, who gave his
opinion in favor of, going ahead
with the work. It will be easier
getting, around through the
swamps when they are frozen
than in summer, when they are
lbtottomless in places, and the
mosquitoes are always a plague.
Where the snow is very deep the
surveying party will go on snow
shoes. 1t will be- easy to get
lake levels, and the surveyors
will cut through the ice to find
the depth.
h, The work from now on will be
in entire charge of George A.
Ralph. John Abercrom bic of
Alexandria, who did part of the
work last year, is not in favor of
the winter survey, and has Also
been incapacitated for work by a |
railroad accident. All Of st.
Louis and Itasca counties prac. |
tically remains to be covered. 1
and some work will be done in !
Lake and Cook. The work in |

with genuine pleasure, therefore, that
he found that gentleman awaiting him

the man had excited his sympathies
from the first, and he never felt more
kindly disposed toward him than on

On his return to Headquarters from
some business in connection with the
North case Friday morning, a week
after the discovery of the murder, In
spector Applebee found a genuine sur.
prise awaiting him.
There is a lady in there who has
been waiting to see you for some
time observed one of his assistants,
and Immediately after the inspector
found himself closeted with the identi-
cal lady whose reception of him on a
previous occasion had led him to de-
nounce her to his superior as an idiotic
and unavailable personage--no
other, in fact, tnan Aunt Comfort
Harwood.
Il is not probable that the good old
lady recognized in Mr.. Appleb4g the
gentleman whom she supposed 70 have
been in the gas or water business when
he visited her at Swampscott.

cHILDREN's PARTIES.
Do Not Make the Mistake Of Having
Too Many Guests and Have Only
Simple Refreshments.

You ask how to give chlldren's party
successfully. In the first place do not
make the mistake of asking too many.
Fourteen is a good number, or ten, for
little people need a great deal of indi-
yidual attention. If possible have one
or two friends to assist in the entertain
ment. Such games as Going to Jerusa-
lem," Drop the handkerchief" Here
we go round the Mulberry BUSH" Lon
don Bridge" and PUSSY wants a corner"
are always favorites with the children
and never seem to lose their novelty.
Most of the games are more interest
ing If played to music.
Provide a low table with the red
chairs, such as are used in kindergartens
and infant class Sunday school rooms.
Red candles, with a bowl of scarlet
flowers, red candles in the cake in rose
holders make the table very pretty.
Small red paper holders come to contain
bonbons, which should be sugar pepper
minis for the wee guests.
Place cards may be made by pasting
dainty childish pictures on red card
board, using black, gold or white ink
for lettering the names and date.
Invitations for children's parties may
be written on the quantity decorated pa
per that comes especially for the pur-
pose, or small sized note paper may be
used. Refreshments should be simple;
plain sandwiches, cocoa, animal crack
ers, bread sticks. Some of the Swiss
milk chocolates are delicious as bon
bons. Serve ice cream in ramekins and
there should be small cups and spoons.
Bibs for each one are appreciated by
the mothers, while paper napkins
should also be provided as the children
love the gay colors, especially the Jap
anese ones that come folded in shape Of
animals.-Madame Merri

dous pace. We are becoming nonadIc;
not contented with permanenee and
stability, with homes that gather to
themselves the sweetness Of fond asso-
Citations and the glory of old traditions
we are becoming accustomed TO =
migratory life.
A man need not be a multi-million-
aire to own three or four homes and
spend only a fraction OF the year in
any of them. Families, not of the
smart set are too prone to disintegrate.
The wife and daughters are not unwill-
ing to let the ocean roll for months
together between themselves, and the
hard-working father, who is busy &C
cumulatiDg more millions at home.
Young men too early allowed control
OF large sums grow irresponsible and
wasteful and, alas! end by filling the
grave Of the drunkard or the suicide.
All history combines to prove that too
much luxury breeds corruption, tempts
individuals to dishonesty, and menaces
the very continuance Of a dominant
people. That which happened in the
dim past to Greece and Rome may hap
pen to America In the twentieth cen.
tury Of the Christian era, If we shut our
eyes to lessons that are given in the
glimpses we have Of the smart set.

MADAME RAYMOND.

John Lamm, confident that conspir-
Acy was to be found at the bottom of
the North case, was reasonably sure al
ready OF two parties Decentralization
Stackhouse and Richard Fetridge.
Whether there was anybody else con-
Cerned he had not yet made up his mind.
The plain yet puzzling charge of Thorn
ton Stackhouse in the letter to the Mois-
cot woman, who seemed to the detec-
tive to have been created for the ex-
press purpose Of tantalizing him with
the enigma Of her existence, indicated
that Stackhouse himself had reason to
believe her the head and front Of all
pffense
Agaia and again John Lamm studied
that letter, endeavoring to squeeze out
of it the last drop of possible signifi-
cance; but the writer had so we'll chosen
his words, with the evident purpose Of
making them unintelligible to third
person, that the detective was suspicious
of what seemed the logical deductions
therefiom. One thing was certain.
