THEY FOUND A NOVELTY.
Experience of Uncle Kxra and Aunt Try
phena at the 'World's Fair.
Undo Ezra Norton and his wife, Aunt
Tryphena, camp in from Climax Prairie
to do the World's fair, and they made
their headquarters at the palatial North
Side residence of their famous nephew,
Colonel J. S. Norton, author, Egyptolo
gist, barrister and orator. Colonel Nor
ton thinks a great deal of Uncle Ezra
and Aunt Pheeny. And well he should,
for when he was a boy down at Lock
port he used to visit the Norton farm
out in Climax prairie about six times a
year, and he'll never forget the fun he
had rounding up Uncle Ezra's calves,
sheep and hogs and eating Aunt Pheeny'b
doughnuts.
The first thing Colonel Norton did
after the old folks came was to impress
upon their minds the wisdom of going
about their sightseeing in a calm, method
ical way. He represented very truly,
too that much time and energy would
be wasted unless a strict plau of opera
tions was adhered to in doing Jackson
park and its very numerous entertaining
and instructive features.
"I speak from experience, from bitter
experience," said he, "for it was after
two weary weeks of reckless, haphazard
plunging that I became convinced that
the only way to see the World's fair in
telligently and comfortably is to take its
sights in regular order, just as you would
do a picture gallery."
This view impressed the old folks fa
vorably. On Tuesday morning they
started out bright and early for Jackson
park, and they were full of the good
resolution to do everything decently and
in order. They left the cattle cars at
Sixty-first street and were soon at thy
entrance to the fair grounds. Havinu
passed through tho turnstile, it occurred
to Uncle Ezra that it was his duty to
impress upon Aunt Tryphena's mind
once more the importance of going at
their sightseeing in a methodical way.
"Now, Pheeny," says the old gentle
man, "we'll do jest what James told us
to. We'll take things in jest as the
come. We've got a fortnight in which
to do it all, and that's a-plenty time ef
we only go at it the right way. Now
s'pose we begin right hero, an keep on
doin the sights to the right till we've
seen enough for today, and then agin to
morrow ye'll take up where wo left oil
today."
At this moment tho old gentleman's
vigilant eyes detected a sign bearing the
legend, "Exit."
"Gosh!" says ho, "what new fangled
'notion is that, I wonder? Did you ever
see an exit, Tryphena? 1 never did, so
suppose we begin right here an go in and
see it."
So in tho enthusiasm of curiosity,
guileless Uncle Ezra and Annt Tryphena
made their way through tho exit turn
stile, only to find themselves in Stony
Island avenue, within 50 feet of tho gate
at which they had just paid their money
for admission to the fair grounds. Chi

A Miser's rltlftU End.
An old miser lived in Connaught and
seemed to bo an utterly forlorn creature,
without "chick or child" belonging to
him. It was rather fortunate for the
nonexistent chick that such was its stato,
for ifit bad had an existence it would
surely have lacked the means to support
it. This old miser was so mean that he
deniod himself bread, and only kept his
miserable life In its tenement by gifts of
food from charitable neighbors.
But he was known to have plenty of
money hidden away in his wretched
shanty, and his neighbors at last got tired
of giving to one so entirely unworthy.
For somo days no one went near the
old man, and the cabin stood desolato.
No one was seen to go in or out, and at
last tho constable determined to take the
obstinate old creature to jail. The door
was broken open, and tho old miser was
found dead. In his wretchedly starved
condition, and frantic at the thought of
leaving his loved money behind him, he
had died trying to swallow some of his
own banknotes. Pieces of them were
clutched in his hands, and pieces of them
in his throat had choked what little
breath remained in his body. Harper's

spreads that paper over his knees and
lies back hanging on to It all through

at but the bare walls, the rows of mugs
and the fly specked mosquito netting
over the looking glass? That's what I
call selfishness. You see lots of human

Minneapolis, Aug. 14, Last night's
conflagration swept nearly a square mllo

with an estimated insurance of $760,
000. An unknown child was burned
to death and Thomas Fallon lost his
life from heart falluro duo to excite
ment. Several firemen wero Injured.
THE DETAILS.
Over 200 houses aro burnod and at
least 1500 persons rendered homeless.
Thte Is the record mado by tho destroy
ing element in the short space of two
hours. A kind providence, and not
the firn department or the feeble efforts
of tho owners of tbe threatened prop
erty, saved tha greatest portion of tbo
manufacturing and residence portions
of the East Bide. The fire had gained
such headway that no human agency
could quench It, and only a change of
the wind provented an awful conflagra
tion. It was at 1:30 o'clock when a
watchman saw a small blaze on tbe
river side of J. B, Clark & Co.'s box
factory In tbe south end of Nicollet
Island at the head of BU Anthony falls.
An alarm.qulckly followed by a second
and third, was turned in, but by the
time tbe department arrived tbo flames,
fanned by a furious south wind, bad
gained such headway that all tho fire
men could do was to turn the'r atten
tion to adjoining property.
SIANY RESIDENCES DESTROYED.
Along the cast bank of the river wore
located tho mills and lumber-yards
which were burned, while east of them
wero located many stores and resi
dences. Most of them wero frame
buildings occupied by the employes of
the mills and laborlug men. Few
owned their own dwellings) and their
principal losses will be tbelr personal
effects. Large numbers saved their
household goods, whloh thoy stacked
In piles, over whloh they stood guard
to prevent their being carried away by
thieves. At the browery, where the
fire was checked, the citizens did moro
than the firemen. With garden boe
aud buckets they extinguished all in
clpent blazes and with the change In
tbe wind all danger was practically ov
er, and tbe fire was allowed to burn It
self out. All tbe available fire apparat
us in the city was In use, and Bt. Paul
sent two engine companies Id responso
to calls for assistance,

A "GRIND" IN COLLEGE.
A Hardworking Student AVo Took IJttle
Intereit In University Sport.
The "Harvard grind" is a term used as
of ton in the'collego circles as any sur
name Tho name originated from that
old custom men bad of getting down and
working hard n fow days beforo exam
ination. Finally, when a fellow was
known to keep up this grinding process
throughout the term, ho soon went un
der tho caption of "grind." Tills name
has now becoino an established term in
Harvard llfo, and tho visitor Is now
shown tho grind's headquarters, tho
grind's table in our dining hall and tho
grind's haunts.
To bco him in his truo light the grind
must bo hunted out at different times of
.tho year. I traced up one of theso fel
lows in the dead of winter. Ho lived
down ou Mount Auburn street in an up
stairs room 8 by 8 feet; no stovo in the
room, no heating apparatus of any kind,
for in fact thoro was not room for any;
a small single bed across ono sido, a bu
reau across the other, aud n littlo table
undor tho ono window. In the narrow
aislo in tho center thero was room but
for ono chair. A light carpet ou the
floor, a looking glnBs sot in tho bureau
top, and ouo or two wall decorations
complotod the furnishings of tho room.
It was totally wanting in all those littlo
artistic designs so characteristic of the
Harvard room. No lino art lectures
prncticod thoro, as prescribed by Pro
fessor Norton; no traco or sign of bric-a-brao
and crimson decoration. In short,
it was a sort of den, in which a man
could "eat and sloop and havo his be
injj." To bo sure, this was not an attractive
lodging; but, as tho occupant informed
mo, ho could study thero, and tha room
cost him only 3 per week. When I ven
tured tho suggestion that it must bo very
risky living there without a firo in tha
dead of winter, he said that ho usually
worked In one of tho university private
libraries during tho day and until 10
o'clock at night. Upon seeing a small
oil cook stovo in ono comer, I made a
great veaturo upon its uso and found
that this student was doing his own
cooking. I also learned that his laundry
bills wero a minimum in short, that he
was living on (1,15 per wcok, according
to his own figures. .
Horo is a rare case, but one not nearly I
so raro as might bo expected at first
thought BccauBonicn aro students in
a university does not make all of them
aspire to anything socially. Here is an
actual caso where a man turned himsolf
into a recluse, did his own cooking and
washing and spent every minuto grind-1
ing over books. Boston Herald. j
