The Socialist Lectures.

Dan A. White, the socialist lectur-
er, entertained a fair sized audience
at the Baptist church on Saturday
night, in the fourth of the series OF
socialist lectures. He was an enter
tanning speaker, and those present en-
joyed his discussion of present day
conditions.
The closing number of the course,
next Saturday night, will be Caroline
A. LoNc-sse.:-..a.SJiy a teacher in the
Kansas City schools. She being the
only lady speaker in the course and
the last one, will no doubt attract a
good sized audience.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The optimist goes down the street
With gladness cleaning in his eyes,
And feeling sure that he will meet
Good fortune or some glad surprise;
If with his face a splash of mud
Collides and thereby makes thud.
He does not say rude things or whine,
But, keeping bravely on his way,
He thinks that possibly it may
Turn out to be lucky sign.
But, keeping bravely
The pessimist thinks all is wrong,
His shoulders droop; his heads down,
With shuffling steps he moves along,
His face distorted by frown.
At every corner he expects
Some foe to Turk, and he detects
Dark pitfalls where not pitfalls are;
If others greet him with good cheer
He thinks they must be insincere.
His spirit never reaches par.
The optimist may never claim
The Joy he thinks is just ahead;
There may be few to speak his name
With kindness, after he is dead
There may be few who care at all
How great his worth is or how small,
But, hopeful, while he is alive,
He often valiantly imparts
A bit of cheer to doubling hearts.
And helps contentment to survive.
The pessimist, though Fortune take
Him where rich prizes may be found,
Will still discover things to make
Him think that trouble turks around;
No triumphs that he may achieve
Will ever cause the poor who grieve
To give him thanks or wish him well,
He gives no hope, imparts no mirth,
And daily helps TO make the earth
A gloomy place on which to dwell.

Residence of C. H. Warnke

C. H. Warnke, a citizen of New
Ulm until five years ago when he
removed to Clements, has built the.
most costly residence erected in the
city the past season. Eight thous-
and dollars will scarcely see the place
complete. Mr.. Warnke at present is
living on Franklin St., and does not
expect to get into his new home un-
til about April 1st.
The house which is bungalow in
style measures 81 feet on State St.
and 40 feet on Second South. It is
made of red pressed brick with dark
trimmings Of cement. Weilandt &
Stegemann drew the plans and the
carpenter work was done by Kaiser.
Pullman had charge of the masonry
and Gulden & Hippert installed the
plumbing and the hot water heating
plant.
The house has large room across
the front, which is divided into two
parts, the North end being used for
the living room, and the South end
for the. dining room. There is an

Historic Erd Place ModernIzed.

So many different changes were
made at the Home Bakery during
the past summer that it is almost
impossible to enumerate them. Some
years ago Mr.. Eibner lowered the
floor to the street level but when the
grade was changed by the city he
again found himself Ia inches above
the street. The first work done this
summer was to overcome this disad-
vantage. The stairway in the front
of the building was then taken out
to give more space in width and this
necessitated the changing of parti.
tions and practically remodelling the
entire second floor to accommodate
the new stairs which were made to
ascend back Of the store. Then came
the changes in the basement under
the front Of the building. This was
the old Erd cellar where the women
and children of New Ulm found
shelter during the time of the Indian
Massacre. This had never been so
deep as the rest of the basement
and the floor was cut down, giving a
basement now 80x30. Another i'm
provement installed is an ice-box of
solid masonry which cost nearly
$500. 1t has walls Of concrete with
cork insulation and will accommodate
a wagon load of ice. Here the ceram
is cooled for the toothsome dishes
the Home Bakery serves its patrons
on hot summer days. A cellar for
preserves is built at one side and a
part of the ice-box tho separated
from it by thick wall. Mr.. Eibner

In the living room at the North end
is a fire place made Of light colored
fire brick, with jeweled trimmings,
which is very ornamental in appear
ance. The other rooms on this floor
are bed room and the kitchen,
which has a built-in ice box. The
entire ground floor is finished in
quarter-sawed oak in the golden
finish.
There is a full basement with
every convenience. Upstairs the
space is divided into three bed rooms.
and the house is built so large that
even here the ceilings are 8ft. s..
There is also bath room on this
floor and an attic. The finish is
birch with hard pine and maple floor
ing. The bath room is tiled.
The immense porch across the
State St. side of the house has 3
cement floor with brick pillars. One
of the bed rooms upstairs is built
out over this porch. The exterior
finish on the upper half Of the house
is stucco and timber trimmed.

Residence Of Dr.. II. w. Rieke

DR.. H. w. Rieke has managed to
build q house which has one unusual
feature that no other in town has;
that is, he has garage in the base
nnent. The garage does not occupy the
whole basement, as there are the laun-
dry and coal cellars also. The Rieke
residence cost $1,000 and is very un-
idue and attractive. The photo shown
IN this issue does not do it justice,
because the work is not yet COM
pleted, and will not be for some
time.
John Gronau is doing the work
from the plans made by Weilandt &
Stegemann; Aug. Puhlmann and
Fred Keute &, Co., masons. The
house is of solid brick, 28x3O tt, and
Is located just north Of Center st.
on State. The porch also is quite
different from any other in town, the
pillars being Of cobble stone. over
the porch there is balcony. Across
the front of the house is the living
room, and the north end is fitted up
"A a den from which the oaken stair
case ascends to the second floor. Inc
