girl, pink-waxen and dollylike in her powdered
nose and coyly white-aproned prettiness, for

snow-white hair and red cheeks giving him
somewhat the look OF an English valet tempo
rarily bereft of his aristocratic surroundings.
She looked around Before her was space
cleared for dancing, where trotted perhaps hf-

comedy favorites.
Who were they, these young people who
danced with such zest and enjoyment in the

lanterns large and small? Young clerks they
seemed, male and female-much OF the class
that crowds the the -oughfare of the Wall

NEARLY READY FOR BUSINESS
The Kopman Store in Tobey Building
Will Open Up Saturday of Next
Week, October 18th.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Kopman arriv-
ed in Sank Centre few days ago and
are now getting the store room
which they will occupy in the Tobey
building ready for bushes. The stock
has begun to arrive and the formal
opening will be Saturday, Oct. 18th.
The new store will be known as
Kopman's Department Store, and the
stock will consist of dry goods, no
tons, fancy china and ladies' ready
to wear garments.
The Herald understands also that
Mr.. Kopman will inaugurate a vigor-
GUS campaign for the poultry in this
section, and that he will make per-
sonal canvas among the farmers. He
will also buy hides and furs.
The Kopman's impress one as being
wide-awake and progressive business
people, and they feel confident of
working up a satisfactory business in
Sank Centre. They appreciate the val
ue of advertising in a live newspaper
and will use the Herald columns each
week to keep the people informed as
to the bargains to be found in their
store.

JUST A LITTLE THRILL

George Butler, DR.. H. F. Henne-
mann of this city and his brother, DR..
Hennemann, of St. Cloud, went out
to Westport Lake Monday with the
idea ofsspending week hunting ducks
and chickens. About the middle of the
afternoon, while DIR. H. F. Hennemann
was out in duck boat and his brother
and Mr.. Butler were on the pass, the
Doctor shot hole through the bot
tom of the boat in some unaccountable
manner. At the time of the accident
the boat was about 600 yards from
shore and the Doctor took off his
canvas gloves and stuffed them into
the hole and began to row for the
shore. When about so feet from the
shore the boat became lodged in the
bog and the Doctor jumped out into
the water and waded to shore, pulling
the boat after him. The party return
ed to Sank Centre Monday evening,
but went out again on Tuesday and in
tended to fix. up the boat and finish
their hunting.

The plans for the Herald's big de-
velopment edition which will be issued
the week of Oct. 26th, are well under
way. The farther we get into the work
the more we are impressed with the
abundance of splendid material in and
around Sank Centre to make this edi-
ton one that will be of much value
to the city and section.
The business men generally appre-
ciate the value of the edition and are
literally to reimburse the
publisher for his heavy financial out
lay in putting the proposition across.
Mr.. Eddy has two articles-one on
Minnesota as a state and one on this
particular section of Minnesota-that
are classics, and from the material
he has at hand his Sank Centre story
worked out in his peculiar style will
be very readable. But few Sank Cen
tire residents stop to consider the real
greatness of this little city. All of the
stories will be illustrated with splen-
did cuts of street scenes, Sank Lake
and Great Northern parks, public
buildings, churches, the Home School,
beautiful homes and leading business
and professional men.
All of the surrounding towns will
issue similar editions boosting their
immediate localities next week. In
fact fully 500 of Minnesota's leading
newspapers will devote one week of
their issues boosting the North Star
