Flowers Revivfng.

The numerous flower gardens
throughout the city have taken on new
life since the recent hot spell abated.
The lovers of flowers were disappoint-
ed in that the prospects for the fall
beauties did not seem inviting, and
this is really the season when they
are most enjoyed, But the recent
rains and cooler weather had the ef-
feet of reviving the dropping plants
and as result the gardens have taken
on new life and thousands of blooms
are now to be seen which a few days
ago were not thought possible.
No Improvements.
The improvements which F. J. Dud-
ley has contemplated making in his
barber shop will not be undertaken
until next spring. The building of the
Griffith store on the opposite side of
the street prevented work on the bar
Der shop building, because the two
would have completely blocked the
street. And since the former is prac-
tically completed it is too far in the
rush reason to attempt to renovate
the shop. 1t would take something
like month to do, and while 1t was
in progress there would be little
chance to accommodate the trade.
During the fall when so many people
are in the city from business stand
point, 1t was not thought best to un-
dertake the work.

in olden times would have made them
pass for inspired persons. They caus-
ed dumb man to speak. He was an
old-timer who works the dumb racket
as pretext for begging. Officer
Blue informed him that he would have
to keep moving or be run in. where
upon he became indignant, his speech
returned and he informed the officer
that he would not be arrested as he
was an American born citizen and did
not have to take out his naturalization
papers, and that as he had fought for
the country he would not suffer the
indignity of an arrest.
Later he met Ohicer Halverson, and
when required to stop begging, took
the officer into his confidence and told
him his family troubles and wanted
to seal the matter with grip.

Caught at Last.

]. 8. Hatcher and bride arrived in
this city from their honeymoon trip
last night at 1O:45. They had an
nounced their intention of coming on
the Overland Flyer, but thought they
would deceive their friends, and in
stead of coming on that they took the
local from Fargo, which reaches this
city at the time indicated. But their
friends were not to be thrown of this
time and bogus telephone message to
Fargo disclosed the fact that they
had taken the local. The word was
quickly passed and when the train
reached the city the crowd was there
to receive the couple. They were
taken in charge by friends, who es-
corted them to their apartments in the
New Hampshire block, which had been
specially decorated for the occasion by
the waiting crowd. The decorations
consisted of posters, newspapers and
a dozen other ludicrous things in
which calendars played conspicu-
GUS part, each of these having large
circles drawn around the fifteenth
the date Of their marriage. There was
the usual accompaniment of grotesque
music. which was kept up until the
late morning hours.
