St. Paul, March 13.—The signature of the governor is all that is necessary to make a law of the bill authorizing the state board of control to establish and maintain at the Stillwater prison a plant for the manufacture of rakes, mowers, harvesters and binders. The senate passed H. F. No. 5 introduced by Representative John Zelch of Cot- tage Grove, which is identical in its terms with the senate bill introduced by Senator George H. Sullivan of Still- water. Both houses passed the bills on the same day and the flipping of a dollar decided that the Zelch bill should be the one to be enacted into law. This has been done, so far as the powers of the legislature are con- cerned. The vote stood thirty-seven for and ten against the bill. Another joint investigation commit- tee is provided for in a resolution in- troduced in the senate by Senator D. M. Gunn of Grand Rapids. This com- mittee is to Investigate the question of Indeterminate sentences for crim- Inals, which, the resolutlon states, is meeting with much favor. A blll to legalize the acts of county boards in acquiring property and making improvements for the purpose of holding county agricultural fairs, when such acts have been performed In good faith without being authorized by a vote of the people, was intro- duced by Senator D. M. Gunn of Grand Rapids. The blll is proposed especially for Itasca county, St. Cloud Bills Passed. The senate, under suspension of the rules, passed two bills specially de- slred by St. Cloud. S. F. No. 343 au- thorizes cities having a population of 10,000 or less to issue bonds to take up their past due indebtedness, and S. F. No. 354 anthorizes cities of that class to purchase, acquire, install, con- struct, extend and improve water works and to issue bonds for that purpose. It is desired to have these questlons submitted to the voters at fhe April elections and on this account the rules were suspended and the bills passed. A bill to extend the labllity of street car companies to include lia- bility for ejectment of persons: who, having paid their fare and been re- Ity for its fallure to perform any daty owing to such company to any of its passengers was introduced by Senator J. M. Eackney of St. Paul, by request. The bill provides that in addition to any liability now existing by law, every street ear company shall be lable to each v enger of such com- v for damazes in an amount to be fixed by the jiry, for failure to per- v duty owing by it to any of The bill provides that 11 not affect the liability of such companies under the existing laws nor shall it he construed as in {any way limiting the right to recover for sonal injurles as now autho- irized by law. | A Lill to require railroads to file imaps and profiles with tables of i des, cnrvatures and mileage and a alement of other characteristics of ‘such roads and an itemized statement showing the complete cost thereof was sntroduced by Senator Frank Clague of Lamberten. i To Improve Fort Ridgely. | A bill to provide for the improve- ment of the grounds at Fort Ridgely and the acquli: ¢ additicnal lands, all fo be converied into a public park lunder the direction of a commission of five members to be appointed by the governor, was intreducel by Sena- tor C. A. Johnsen of St. Peter. The bill provides that the commis- sion shall clear off the historic groand formerly occupied by Fort Ridgely and free it from all buildings and oth- er structures and all unsightly and im- proper objects, so that the ground may present an sppearance hefitting its | “historic and halowed characier.” President James J. Hill of the Great Northern was a witness before the Sundberg senate committee. He tes- tified for three hours without conclud ing his testimony. . Mr. Hill enlightened the committee. men as much as he could in ‘he valuation of raflroad progperty, which purpose the investigation is be- ing held. The examination condncted by Attorney James Manahan covered so wide a range and Mr. Hill was kept so busy explaining railroad matters in general that he did not have much op- portunity to tell about the valuation of railroad properties in Minnesota Mr. Hill said that he has not reached ny cer ion himself as to how the aluation of railroad properties can be determined.

Somebody hadn’t come downtofvn that day. Some- body- else, a bookkeeplng creature for the other, had no authority to ad- vance money on uncompleted serlal stories. Billy made the rounds, but there was no money anywhere, and ‘when he went to take Dorothy Vincent to dinner he had only’$3 In his pocket. Dorothy was an arphan and an helr- ess. She received-a check on the first of every month, but, though there are few characters so strong as not to be affected by security and regularity of Income, Dorothy remained a good bo- Hemtian and as reckless with money as you could wish your dearest friend to be. She reveled in rich and dajnty fabrics, which she transformed by her own art and labor into the most be- witching garments. On this particular evening she wore a tenderly exquisite creation in a gray tone, and carried a little gray purse which containied her all, the sum of 85 cents. This purse was Intrusted to Billy’s care. A strange subject of discussion oc- cupied them at dinner and on the way ito Dorothy’s house. Billy had an op- portunity to join with two other men .In starting a magazine, of which he was to be editor, but they stipulated that he should contribute $1,600 to the capital. Impossibility is not defined in any dictionary so adequately as by that statement. Billy could not have raised 1,600 cranberries at a dollar a bushel, but Dorothy could raise dollars, and she insisted that she should be per mitted to disturb her meager patri- mony to the extent required and be« come a partner in the enterprise. She would lend the money to Billy and go shares with him, To him, however, her little fortune was the only redeeming feature of a world otherwise ill ordered beyond the power of language to de- scribe. He knew what miserles she thus escaped—few men knew better than Billy—and he would sooner have disturbed the law of gravitation which bolds us to the world than have dis- lodged the anchor of Dorothy’s safety. He was telling her so in very elo quent language as they strolled along when ‘they were suddenly aware of a flurry in the throng and the quick gathering of a crowd. A man had fallen from the platform of a crowded car and now sat on the curbstone, dazed and bleeding. It seemed that there had been an attempt to pick his pocket and that the thief, detected, bad pushed his intended victim to the street. As usual, the car had gone on, leaving only the most contradictory rumors in its wake. The man was under middle age and of a very prosperous appearance, a gentleman evidently, for he showed himself superior to his mishap, even though it had bereft him of a good share of his consclousness. Before any one had raised a hand to help him he got upon his feet with a certain dig- nity, though the dullness of his eyes showed that his wits were whirling. He found a cardcase- in his pocket, after somnambulous fumbling; gave a card to a cabman, and when the door BAT ON THE OURBSTONE, DAZED AND BLEEDING. of the vehicle had beeii opened got in unassisted. Cabby mounted to the box and drove away. It was only a few blocks from that spot to Dorothy’s house.- At the door she sald, “You have my purse, Billy.” But, alag, he hadn't It. “Never mind,” sald she cheerily. “There was next to nothing in it. Good night.” " Bllly said “Good night” and walked .| down the street. “I must have dropped it where that fellow was hurt,” sald he to himself, and the recollection that the purse was gray, the tint of asphalt peving, gave him absurd encouragement. So he re- turned to the scene of the accldent, praying for a miracle, but he did not find the purse. Instead, he found a sealed envelope, set up against the curb as If by design and most excel- lently placed to avold observation. There was nothing elther printed or written upon the envelope except this: 7, Powsocl Bllly held it as almost a certainty that this was a note which' had been rdIed, and In the course of the week Billy put the note away In a drawer of his writing table and forgot it. Far more pressing matters claimed his at- tentlon. Dorothy was called to her home in the west, and a harrowing fear tormented Billy that, despite the positive commands that he had laid upon’ her, she had gone to get money for the magazine. Meanwhile the scheme bolled. One afternoon, following a confer- ence upon the all important topic, Billy j returned to his home 80 crazed with enthuslasm that, happening to find the loan. old setfing mald dusting his { HAD TO WALK | For several years past Mr. C. A. Taylor, 4220 Finney Ave., St. Louis, has been the unhappy vic- tim of a most peculiar malady that, it is said, was the result of an extremely delicate and badly deranged condition of the stom- ach and nerves, and which caused intense pain when the] victim was inany .uta standing posture. “By walking continually,” ex- plained Mr. Taylor in speaking of his strange case;, I was able to relieve myself temporarily of the awful torture. What little I could force myself to eat would lie-heavily on my stomach and cause’ me much’ pain. I-eould not sleep, and night after night I laid awale'through what seemed eternity, waiting for daylight tc continue my* walking id order to find even a moment’s relief Medicines seemed' to have no effect on me whatever for I had tried everything imaginable without any relief. However, when Mr. Conper came to St. Lowis some time ago ard the city went wild with enthusiasm over bis medicines, T dctermined to see what they would do for me. I used several bottles of the New Discovery medicine and noted a groat improvement from the start. My appetite returned, my digestion grew better, the awful pains disappeared and at night I slept deliciously and peacefully and always awoke re- freshed. Now I am entirely cured of my trouble and owe it o the wonderful Cooper medi- cine.” Cooper’s Now Discovery cures stomzch trouble, nervousness, kidney trouble, rheumatism aud diseases of the blood audisa wonderfal tonic and system buiider.

Then Billy ran for ihe sistance ho servant to her room, Returning to his own place after this unusual exercise l:e sat down to reflect upon the strange happenings that had recently varied the monotony of his ex- Istence and was presently confronted by one that ovértopped’ the' others— topped everything' he’ could remember to have seen outside of dreamland. There was upon the desk a paper- weight of painted porcelain, a Christ- mas present from' Dorothy and' very dear to his heart. Protruding from benéath it hé now beheld' something green, and this green substince proved to be four bank notes, each of the de- nomination of $500. t “Dear, dear little girl,” he said aloud, and the tears rushed into his eyes. This was not money any more, it was her love, and he laid down.his head on these poor counters in the pretty game of trade and kissed them. Presently he arose, put the money Into his safest pocket and strode away to Dorothy's house, where he was in- formed that Miss Vincent liad not yet returned’ to' town. Billy knew better. He perceived a trick and instantly formulated one of his own. He tele- graphed to Dorothy in the west (though be knew she wasn't there) as follows: I can't take it.

But how did you find out about it? DOROTHY. To which he responded: I have the money and will hold it for vou. I cannot use it as you wish. At 1 o'clock In the morning the door- bell clanged, and Billy received this’ telegram: Impossible. Did not mall check till to- day. Can't understand what you mean. . DOROTHY. Billy had not mongy’ enough to con- - tinue-this" carrespondence-by: wire-fith- out bregking one of the $500 bills, so he wrote a long letter which he mailed about daybreak, and by the last de- livery that afternoon he recelved Dor- othy’s letter, full of subtle persuasion and Inclosing her check for $1,500. Three days later came Dorothy herself, and in the thrilling conversation which ensued she denied in the most explicit manner all knowledge of the larger sum, It will be remembered ‘that Louls XI. of France had many ‘solemn forms of adjiration, only one of which he held to be binding, and he would never tell which of them it was. Few men have been so clever as Louls, but nearly all women are. Protestation with mental reservation is the natural weapon of the sex. As a student of‘human nature Billy Allenwood knew thils, and, though he held Dorothy to bé the flawless pearl of womanhood, he‘still could not ‘free Nl mind of the notion that the four big: bank notes had once been bers. It was therefore’ with an in- defitiable’ disfavor, a sense of some- thing gone-from his own'soul, that he at last pald down the §2,000 into the capital of the great scheme. The $1,500 which was confessedly Dorothy’s was placed in' bank, but in the early days, when the scheme seemed surely winning, Billy lost his balance wheel, veered to the delusion that he had foolishly shut Dorothy out from the greatest opportunity of her life and at last permitted her to invest her money. Then came the later days, the days of disappointment, of ex- penses marvelously swollen and re- ceipts miraculously shrunk. On the blackest of black days, when Billy had left the office merely to get away from it and not because his work was done, he was aware of a re: membered face in the crowd, and a | EEEEEEEEENEEEEN CUSEEERITRNIEICYT name leaped into his mind. “I beg your pardon, sir,” said he. “Are you Mr. Mousoud?”’ *No,” replied the stranger, with a touch of excellent courtesy even in 80 small a matter. “I happened to be present when you met with an accident two or three months ago,” sald Billy, “and after- ward I found a letter on the spot,” and he described the occurrence. “It was mine,” said the other, who seemed surprised and even more amused. “May I ask what has be- come of 1t?” “I have it at my rooms,” answered Billye “Woul you care to come with me and get 1t?” “If you were on your way there," yes,” sald he.
