No matter how proudly the fair goods
OF the June graduating class Of 1908 gaze
upon the sheepskin diplomas they received
at tina time, that sheepskin tells them that
he instead OF she" got the honor. This
year the registrar is gazing over such
manuscript to avoid a recurrence.
The joke OF giving a masculine diploma
to q feminine graduate was played all I'M
meaningiy upon these fair goods by the en-
craving company which did the work for
the University OF Minnesota. Upward OF
two hundred OF these papers were issued
50 far as is known only two women Of the
entire class noticed q mistake In the word
ing. when the $50 diplomas intended for
The class In question arrived at the uni
versity last May It was found that the en- ,
craving company has failed TO take into
consid Grafton the fact that 200 members Ct
the class were women. and sent diplomas
intended for men only.
In the space left for the name OF the
graduate the names Of the girls were entered
in a correct manner, but the wording which
followed It was carefully stated hat he
had been found qualified by the regents
to receive the diploma. and that for this
reason the diploma was granted to him,
Diplomas Intended for this years grad
uatins class were carefully scrutinized.

heirlooms in many wealthy families: but
nothing is more becoming than tho tule
veil. The adjustment is a matter OF In
dividual taste. but the high coronet effect
is less often used than it once was, q fact
due TO the lowering of the fashionable
couture. and many arrangements OF fllei
and veil are seen. a style rather less be-
coming to the average bride than the onoe
universal high couture and coronet.
The wedding gown problem settled, We
can turn to the other items Of he trous-
seau. Reduced to a minimum-we are
speaking. mind you. Of a trousseau suit
able for a girl who occupies a positiei in
at least moderately smart society-the
list includes a travelling costume, an
afternoon cow suitable for visits and
social functions. a dinner gown. an even
ing gown, a motor or travel coat, an
evening coat or cape, a pretty neghgee
and a bedroom gown, and two or three
simple morning frocks.
To these may be added innumerable
other items. The summer bride will

90 MILES IN nine YEARS
I etter Sent to White Earth
Returns After that
Length Of Time

st. Cloud Times: How long does
it take the postmaster at White Earth
to determine what is to be done with
a plainly addressed letter which has a
return card printed in big letters in
the northwest corner Of the envelope?
A few days less than nine years
This may seem Incredible but 1t IS
true, at least IN one instance. On
the 21st of September, 1900, a letter
was sent to Heinrich Ploettler at
White Earth by Frank Zins of Der
Nordstern. AS stated above a return
card was plainly printed on the
envelope and MIR. Zins waited, vain]y
waited for weeks, then months and
then for years for a reply or at least
for the return OF the letter. Finally
he forgot all about 1t.
Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Zins was
surprised, to receive from the dead
letter Office at Washington the
identical letter sent nine years ago to
Ploettler at White Earth. It had been
sent to the dead letter Office on March
Goth OF this year with the words
"Unclalmed' stamped on the
envelope. The letter was at once
returned to Mr.. Zins with the words
Improperly held by Postmaster. ,
It certainly looked as though it had
been not only Improperly held but held
in that position altogether too long.

A set of guard gates viii! soon be put
in at the Broadway railroad crossing

Pacific Railway company. This was
decided on last Friday noon when a
number of the principal Officials of the
company, who came down from
Staples in a special car, looked the
crossing yer That gates are needed
at this crossing was only too well
demonstrated last fall. when Anton
Wampa was decapitated, while at
tempting to cross the track as the
Winnipeg flyer, unseen by him, was
approaching from the south. The
place has since become more danger
Gus, because Of a larger number of
trains going through.
The gate on the west side of the
crossing will extend on a line with the
water tank, and that on the east side
Of the crossing, at the west approach
to the bridge. The watch tower will
be where the present signal station is
located.

STORE IS B%URGLARlZfD
futile & Jarboe Loose
About $45 by Theft
Sunday Night

The Tuttle & Jarboe confectionery
aid news store was broken into at a
late hour Sunday night and burglariZed
OF between $40 and $45 IN cash and
checks. A hole IN the back door of
the store about four inches square,
which was bored with an auger just
above the lock of the door, showed the
manner in which the night visitor had
unlocked the door and gained entrance.
That the thief saw where John
futile, who counted, the money and
closed up the store Sunday night, put
the money in, hiding, is the only con-
clusi0n that can be drawn, as the
night marauder evidently went
directly to the drawer In which the
wallet of cash and checks had been
sec1eted for the night. The drawer
was not one in which the money was
generally placed nights, and besides
this the wallet was covered over with
cards. The thief evidently executed
his work in very little time, as out
side OF the wallet Of money and
twentv-four of the twenty-five cent
pieces, which are always kept in the
cash drawer for change. which were
taken, no merchandise of any kind has
been found missing.
From the familiarity with the store,
shown by the night prowler. it IS most
probable that the deed was the work
OF local talent.
After comparing notes between the
local authorities and Hub. F%reisinger,
railroad police at Staples, 1t was found
that a man. who had just lately COM
pleted a fve-days' Jail sentence IN the
county Jail, had been sent out of the
city by Officer Leblanc on the early
morning train Monday, and that,
when he arrived at Staples and was
picked up by Officer Freisinger, and
threatened with being locked up, pro-
duced a quantity Of money, which the
officer judged to be close onto the
amount he was later informed the
local store was robbed OF. The man
was embarked on the train for Fargo,
N. d., and although both the Fargo
and Moorhead authorities were notified
later in the morning to be on lookout
for a man of his Inscription, nothing
m ore has been heard of the fellow.
