The Return of Ferguson
st Paul DISPATCH


A night clerk in a hotel sat
doing at his desk at about 100
a. m, when a man in evening
clothes came in as il laboriously
trying to walk a crack, and said !:
"lm Ferguson; key to room
a."
The guest disappeared in the
direction of his room, one flight
up. In a few minutes a man
in his shirt sleeves, with a fiat
tened silk hat on the side of his
head, and with one shoe on a
foot and the other in his hand
came in and said to the clerk /:

Why Women Seem Cooler.
(New York Tribune.)

(New York Tribune.)
Why do women look so much
cooler in summer than do the
men? 1t is a fact that will be
concerned by brief study of
any holiday crowd. The differ
ence is all a matter of dress,
says the superficial observer, if
men could wear shirt waists
with Dutch necks and elbow
sleeves they would look comfor-
table, too. Perhaps, and yet
the most uncomfortable sight
imaginable on a hot day is the
barbarian who removes his coat,
and his collar as we'll, in public
places. He raises the tempera-
ture of all who behold him. To
be sure, woman's clothes are
better adapted to summer re-
'qairemants than are those Of
men, but IT, ference is not
great e.! h TO account for the
contrast. The cause lies far
deeper 1t is a :s;i.. Ter of me n.
tai poise.
Woman is deliberately and
purposly serene in warm wealth
er. 1t would make her more
comfortable to look hot and dis.
heveled than to be both in real.
ity, 50 sha keeps herself we'll in
hand She does not fret at the
temperature, she ignores it; she
does not fume about discom.
fort, as a man does. Note the
calm, dainty, restful way she
will give casual tap to fore
head or cheek, and then the ir-
ritated manner in which a man
will mop his face with a hand
kerchief. Observe the mini
mum OF graceful effort she puts
into the manipulation Of a fan,
and contrast it with the half
horse power Of heat-generatinss;
energy man expends upon y
similar maneuver with his hat.
Intent first of all and all tbs
time on her appearance, woman
plays leisureIv, composedly a.
being cool, and in the process
produces more thu an illusion.
She creates g req Z The mar,
working hard at kes. lag cool,
obtains the opposite result.
Some men, not many, know
the secret and apply it. Their
male acquaintance never cease
from wondering how they man

most distressing days. They
not only look cool, they are.

A western inventor has de-

Golfers Weekly published a
letter this week showing that
the Interior Dept, will do all
it can to discourage a news
paper who does not see things
as it does. In the letter to the
editor of a paper at Standpoint
Idaho one of the officers says
he will not give any work to a
newspaper that attacks the po-
wers that be. 1t is getting to
be a pretty state of affairs
when free and independent
newspapers cannot show up
corruption and wrong. doing
without having the government
jump onto them with both feet
and say, you publish only what
reflects to our credit and let OF
her things alone. This is what
makes insurgents and as long
as the powers that be continue
trying to hoodwink the people
by controlling the newspapers.
