FAMOUS WOMEN OF OLD.

Few things interest succeeding
generations more than the love af-
fairs of bygone celebrities. Whatever
u attitude may be toward those
who in II day defy the conventions,
there is no denying our consuming
curiosity about famous women who
in the past have strayed from the
path of virtue. OF all the names, in
deed, handed down to us in history,
it is a significant fact that those
which command Il greatest inter
est and sympathy are invariably
those who, like Cleopatra and AS
pasta, Diane de Poitiers and Mary
Queen of Scots, Lady Hamilton and
the various women of the salons,
were distinguished by conduct Which
would not have permitted of their

NO USE FOR BEDS IN BAGDAD.

About 60 per cent. of Bagdad's
population possess he beds. These
poor people rest on blankets spread
on the floors Of their houses in the
winter and on the roofs in the sum-
mer. Owing to the excessive heat Of
these regions sleep is made impos-
sible elsewhere than on the roof or in
the open gardens. 1t is an interest
ing sight to see how the women at
sunset emerge from their houses to
prepare the evening meal on the roof,
and spread the bedding for the night.
lnasmueh as the climate is very dry,
there is little to fear from exposure
to the night air. While a consider
able number of the roofs are sur
rounded by lattice work to insure a
certain amount of privacy, by far the
larger number are quite exposed to
the gaze of curious and inquisitive
neighbors.

THE GAMEY AlEWIVES.

The alewives are running at Por-

very gamey fish. The usual mode
of catching them when you haven't

shallow water around the furnace or
under Hills mill, and grab them
with your hands and sling them
ashore. This method may not APP

Bank Protection,

Misunderstanding two months there
will be in operation among the coun-
try banks of Minnesota new plan
for the protection of bank deposits.
1t is plan devised by bankers in
stead of by politicians, and those who
are fathering it firmly believe that it
will actually achieve all the beneficial
results which were promised by the
advocates of the bank guarantee
scheme. Throughout the recent cam
paign, plans for the new idea have
been quietly carried forward.
w. D. Willard, cashier of the First
National bank was in Minneapolis.
He is chairman of a committee ap-
pointed last spring by the bankers Of
the second congressional district of
Minnesota to organize the banks in
that district for the operation of an
Independent system of examination
along the line of that now in operation
in the twin cities. Sickness in the
committee has delayed its work to
some extent. but it is probable that
the first of the new year will see the
Independent bank examination under
way in the second district.

Famous Moods on Fire.

Chandler.-A forest fire has been
raging in Lost Timber, west of this
village and has destroyed large part
of the timber which is widely known
because of the fact that under their
protection the Jesse James band of
desperadoes made escape after the
famous Mortified robbery of Sept. G.,
1876.
The origin of the fire has not been
discovered. Hunters may have start
ed the blaze or it may have been set
by farmer boys.
Lost Timber is in a sheltered por-
ton of the long range of hills known
as the Coteau del Prairie which ex-
tends for nearly 100 miles northwest
from this village into the Dakotas.
