topic.
Palisades Park made an awful
"break" in trying to impress Senator

the same kind of seed came up in

TWO SOCIAL FRAUDS
BOSTON CLUB MEN WHO WORK"
THEIR FRIENDS.
Successfully "Fish" for invitations to
Spend Afternoon and ManeuVer
1t to Cover Dinner, Bed
and Breakfast.

The most bare-faced rogues in all
Christendom dwell in Boston. These
chaps are not porch climbers nor are
they malefactors of great wealth, al
though their performances partake of
the most evil qualities of both. The
twain of which | speak are. .nOminally
and ostensibly, even ostentatiously,
members of good society, and are not
usually recognized as the frauds they
are. All the greater shall be their re-
ward-when it comes.
The particular episode into which
all the malevolent venom of these par
asites was quintessenced occurred
just the other day. Here is the story
stripped of all obscuring and foggy
covering. These two are tennis talk
ers. AS to their Skillet that pass
BY much talking on the subject they
enlisted the attention of ali unsuspect-
ing companion one day at the lunch
table. This person lives outside Bos
ton, of course. Otherwise he would
not have been ensnared. Hearing
their talk and being himself a genuine
lover of the game, he was thought
lessly generous enough to invite this
couple to spend an afternoon at his
tennis club about forty or fifty miles
from the Hub. Their acceptance was
instantaneous and CORRESPONDENCE
greedy Yet the countryman did not
suspect. The pair were promptly on
hand and ate their hosts luncheon
gether with an obliging club member,
went out upon the tennis court and
started the game. "A pleasant time
was had" Suddenly, alleges one of
the guilty pair, the sun went down
and 10! to their CONSERVATION, they
discovered it was seven o'clock Mine
host, who had probably made several
double faults watching that suns de-
cline was game" and ignoring the
fact that his guests were invited Tor
the afternoon and not the evening, in
sisted that they take dinner with him.
Loud were their protestations. Oh, no,
they would go to town at once, they
would by no means infiict themselves
upon him, etc. In fact, their protes-
tations and graceful acquiescences
took up good thirty minutes. Later
diAner was served, followed by other
things, of course. These Boston
sponges exerted themselves to their
utmost to please and amuse the man
who was paying the bill. One of them
actually tried to sing. Meanwhile the
clock kept ticking away, kept ticking
away, kept ticking away, until at last,
when, talked dry they rose to go, they
were informed that the last train for
Boston had gone! Again their host
was game. He saw he was sold, his
pockets ri1ed, and his goodwill mar
keted, but he did not whimper. stay
all night at the club, of course" Of
course.
Next morning about ten o'clock two
young men, upon whose countenances
the plain impress of guilt still lin
gered, might have been seen alighting
from a train at the station in Bos-
ton. And in the memorandum book
of each the police might have found
carefully checked off: Aug. Lunch

How They Kiss in France.

The French kiss, unlike it's counter
part in the United States and Eng
land, is implanted on the cheeks in
stead of the mouth. Children greet
or bid good-by to parents, husbands to
wives and fiances to fiancees by kiss
ing first one cheek and then the other.
Frenchmen apparently go on the
principle that if it is we'll to kiss at
all it is well to kiss in public, for the
sight of couples embracing each other
or walking with arms about each 9TH
er in the streets in broad daylight is
so common as to attract no attention.
This is true of thoroughly respectable
folk and, particularly of the working
classes, who pay little regard to the
conventionalities And, when it comes
to kissing, everybody follows the
scriptural injunction and turns the
left cheek also"

Some Grant County Mines.

The following interesting mining
gossip is taken from the letter of j.
Fl. Lewis published in the Milwaukee
Free Press: A new high pressure
boiler is being installed at the Big
Four mine, and when this is ready
for service the Big Four Mining and
Milling company will be in position
to produce from twenty to twenty five
tons Of 40 per cent zinc ore each
shift, and it is planned to operate a
double shift. P R. Gray, Jr., ct
al, of Milwaukee have shown in
the very shortest possible allowance
of time what competent men adapted
TO a calling can accomplish. The
mine had been under water nearly
two years, the machinery had become
incrusted below and was rusting
away on top and the buildings were
in a most dilapidated condition. The
entive outfit is a model of neatness
and efficiency under the present
management The Great Western
Smelling and Refining works, adapt
ed to the reduction of zinc and other
ores. is nearing completion in Chi
cago. The plant is mammoth affair
and complete in every detail and will
become factor in the mining bust
ness of this field. Condemnation
proceedings have been started in the
circuit court at Lancaster, Wis, for
the purpose of making available for
immediate use certain tracts of land
in Grant county, over which the
interstate Light and Power company
is laying it's line. The State Mining
Trade school, under the control of
Prof. II. G. George. is entering upon
it's third year with marked success
and a big increase in attendance.
The last legislature nearly determin-
ed the fate of this school by failing to
vote for an appropriation Through
Assemblyman Whitman OF Highland,
a reconsideration was secured and an
appropriation of SO, 900 secured.
Graduates receive good employment
at high wages.
