Some twenty years ago Frank, then a mere boy, leftyhe farm and drifted to [lh nots. How he became acquainted with one of Multimillionaire Pullman’s daughters we know but little of, but suffice to say that after several pro- testations on the part of Pullman Sr. also Mrs. Pullman, which appears to have cut no ice in the affair. © Miss Pullman won the day and the couple were duly married. These Pullman’s are of Pullman car fame. Mr. Louden, Frank’s father, was a farmer and also held the office of justice of the peace for years. So well was he supposed to be posted on the Blackstonion theory that he was frequently called to “set” in other .parts of the county with other justices where the case was ot any importance, and\ a case was very seldom appealed -when Judge Louden passed up on it. : GOVERNOR’S PROCLAMATION Urges that Monday. May 80, Be ob- served as Memorial Day. Following is the annual proclama- tion issued by the governor which will be observed throughout the state: “4#n commemoration of the deeds of those who gave their lives that our country might survive and its glory be perpetuated, I as governor of the state of Minnesota, do hereby urge the observance of Monday, May 30, 1904, as Memorial day. ; Throughout our land in almost every city, Village and bamlet, are found the honored graves of Ameri- can soldier and sailors; they died for their country, they died for us, May we gather from their lives and deeds that inspiration which arouses genu- ine love for our vouutry and devotion to its institutions. Their vaiorand and patriotism established and pre- served our republic, and we should devoutly consecrate: this day to their memory and tenderly strew their graves with garlands of love. honor the memory of the brave whu sleep in the “windowless. palace of the grave’? is not only a sacred duty, ! but evinces the love of a gratefal peo- ple. That the day may be fittingly observed, I urgently urge cessation of business through the state, and that we indiyidually devote the day to ex- pressions and deeds showing our de- votion to the memory of these our} honored dead.” R. S. Van Sant, Tol, in a drawing room with the ugliest 4- year-old boy that ever frightened him- self in a mirror clambering over his knees, jerking his necktie out of place, ruffling his shirt-front, pulling his hair, kicking his shins, feeling in all his pockets for coppers, while the anresisting victim smiles all the time ‘like the cover of & comic paper, you may safely say that the howling boy has a sister who is in a room not twenty feet away, and that the young man doesn’t come there, just for the fun of playing with her brother. Religious Zeal Too Strong. John Newdick, a citizen of Kokomo, Ind., is of a strongly religious turn, but Mrs. Newdick is a trifle unregen- erate. The other evening John an- nounced family prayers, but at that moment it was inconvenient for his wife to attend, as her hands were “in the dough.” John was already on his knees, but he arose and thrashed his irreligious spouse, after which he concluded his devotional exercises with all duereverence. Mrs. Newdick had him up before a magistrate vext morning and nis excess of zeal cust him $25 and costs.—Exchange. Feur Generations of Soldiess. Soldiering seems to run in the blood of certain families. A typical instance of this is furnished in the person of Mr, William Smith, chief janitor at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Smith’s father was a soldier, he himself anJ four of his brothers “took the shilling” one after another, and he has given four sons and a grandson to the army, says the London Telegraph. This, therefore, is a case of “soldier- ing” carried through four successive generations, and the youngest of them all is able to make the proud, perhaps anique, boast that not only his great- grandfather his grandfather and his father, but four grantluncles and three uncles all served their sovereign in the ranks. A Mysterious Author. The traveler who happens to be weather-bound in one of the Italiax cities may find some amusement in the library of one of the hotels. Among the contents of the shelves there is a considerable spfinkling of English books, but to. the visitor’s surprise a large portion of these are by a mys- terious author, “Bart,” of whose name he is probably ignorant. But when he finds that Bart has written “Ivanhoe” and “The Last Days of Pompeii,” the key to the mystery is discovered. The local publisher has taken the author’, title of “baronet” for his name, and Sir Walter Scott and Sir Edward Bu wer Lytton are credited with &#* one personslity between them.
