The Hell Family.
Labor World:—We peeped in
at a charity ball the other night
We wanted to see everything
that could be seen, and so we
saw how Duluth's "400" act at
their parties. We discovered
one thing that you don't have
to be dignified nor stiff to "belong." Instance the pretty
society girl who amused an excited crowd by tossing salted
almonds and figments of wafers
into her escort's mouth.
We saw the fine dresses; it
must have cost a fortune to dress
the women who attended the
' 'charity'' ball. And the jewelry;
it seemed to hang in clusters
from every neck. It was a
pretty sight as we watched the
convolutions and contortions of
the tango trotters. There were
castle walkers, turkey trotters,
tango twisters and catch-as-
ca tell-can crawlers and they
hobbled and bobbed about the
floor in the most curious, but
fascinating manner.
As we looked we marveled,
and forgot that all this display
was given in the name of charity.
Ever since we have been trying
to make out whether such affairs
are not given out of sympathy
for fashionable dressmakers,
rather than to help the struggling poor. Charity, oh charity,
how many sins are committed
in thy name.
The ball was a mockery. The
sensible fashionable people
would do well if they would
give it the taboo in the future.
Charity workers are a unit
against it. It ought to be numbered with the foolish things of
the past, and there let it remain.
Following will be found the
report of the Light and Water
Board together with a list of
patrons, and the amount each
paid for the last month.

and release him from his contract.
Kenneth Martin, oldest son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Martin,
is in a very critical condition
from a bullet wound received
some time ago, and was taken
Friday morning to Dr. Eitel's
hospital in Minneapolis. He
had apparently nearly recovered from the wound which was
caused by a stray bullet at Sullivan lake, and was able to be
out of the house. His condition became serious again Thursday aiid he was taken to the
Minneapolis hospital on an
early train Friday.
Members of the Hell family
are not averse to using their
name in a business way. The
head of the family, Conrad Hell,
an ice cream manufacturer, has
signs reading: '"Go to Hell for
icecream!" scattered throughout the city. Another sign
reads:
"Ice cream from Hell is guaranteed pure and*cooling."
Still another bears this inscription:
"Have you been to Hell':' It's
the coolest place in Parrel."
When a stranger enters Main
street he is startled by a big
bill board reading:
"Hell is here; don't miss the
place."
A   block   further    down   the
street this sign   is encountered.
"You    will    find   everybody
there on a hot day; Hell  is   always open."
The big sign which, however,
attracts most attention is in
front of Hell's place of business.
It represents a young couple
eating ice cream and the young
woman saying to her escort:
"Hell for mine, always."
A New Star.
Last Monday evening as the
sporting editor was strolling
around he discovered that what
he thought was a new star,
hanging low in the firmament in
the direction of New Pierz
and its radiance outshone that
of the sun. Here he thought,
is a chance to aid astronomy.
But suddenly that particular
star was seen to move and come
directly towards him (here the
s. e. ducked behind a building
as he did not wish to be struck
by it.) After the supposed star
had passed, tlie discovery was
made that it was only Drayman
Christ Langer wearing one of
those new-fangled badges on
the front end of his sky-piece,
which read: "Baggage and
Dray Line."
Following will be found a list
of the patrons of the electric

Keeps Comln' Round'.
"Every time you go to town
And start to throw your money 'round;
Say,   home-made-goods   are   the stuff
for me
Because they spell pros-per-i-ty.
The  dollar   you  send  to the Eastern
shore
Says:    'Good-bye Bill,'  for  evermore.
But the dollar you spend  in   your  Inland town
Keeps a 'comin' and a 'comin'   and   a
'comin' round."
