LAKE CRYSTAL.
Especial Correspondence of the Globe

Especial Correspondence of the Globe)
LAKE CRYSTAL, Sept 24.--The Royal Route
companys pay car passed through here Mon
day making the boys feel happy again for
another month.
The Royal Route company have commenced
excavating for their water main from Crystal
lake to their water tank. There are some
some talk of the village daddies putting in
hydrant for fire purposes.
School began Monday. Heads of families
are happy while the youngster is sad.
AT the Democratic convention held In
Mankato yesterday, our fellow townsman
w. II. Cole received the unanimous nomin-
alton for judge of probate. A wise and good
selection. He is a man well fitted in every
particular to fill this important position. He
has no barrels of money to unload to insure
his election, but will run and run to win on
his past merits.
Circulars have been issued by the Royal
Route company to the effect that no person
can transport grain over their road unless it
passes through the Peavy 81 Co. elevators or
warehouses. How is this for monopoly? The
farmer has no earthly chance left as this
maneuvering puts a stop to all speculation
on the open market, and gives the entire
business TO Peavy 81 Co. or some warehouse
men. Heretofore a farmer or any person
could hire a car and ship as they saw fit.
How Is this matter fixed at other points
points along the Sioux City s. ST. Paul rail-
road. PROFESSIONALLY the state legislature
will have this matter to handle at the coming
session. Our motto is, unite and 90 fo-
this outrageous monopoly.
Another corner on eggs says DR.. Murphy,
when he had to pay lie dozen for them
yesterday.
The hog market is beginning to brighten
up. There was one carload shipped from
here yesterday. Price paid, 415c live
weight.

The Best Was Good Enough.
Boston Globe.l

A smiling, well-dressed youth, accompa-
MED by damsel who was evidently far gone
in love. came into drug store at the south
end last evening, and walking up to the
cigar case and commandingly placing his
gloved hand over the boxes containing the
"six-for-a-quarter" kind said, "Give me %
cent cigar"
1.-TWO for half doIlar?" asked the polite
druggist
eyes, that is the kind, but I will only take
one tonight; have left my case at home,
and they break up terribly in my pocket"
was the reply
Reaching out a handful of the choice brand
to his customer the apothecary waited until
he had selected one to suit him, and then
replacing the rest in their proper box took
the proffered 25-cent piece and dropped it in
his till
dimes from a box in his money-drawer,
and, procuring some matches from a shelf,
dropped the money and the lucifers in the
young mans hand, saying as he did so.
Here, have a match~
This advice was taken by the youth, and
when he had succeeded in lighting his pur-
chase and its costly aroma reached the olfac-
tory organs Of his admiring companion she
turned her love-ighted orbs to his and said
in tones of worshipful awe:
- "Oh, Charley how can you afford to smoke
25-cent cigarsp
When he had assured her that "the best is
good enough for me-" his conquest was COM
plete, and she departed in his company, will
ing to follow him to the ends of the earth.

WITH HUsKY-HAUGHTY LIPS, O SEA.

WALT Whitman in Harper's Magazine.1
With husky-haughty lips, o Seal
Where day and night wend thy surf-beat
shore,
Imagining to my sense thy varied strange
The troops of white-maned racers racing to
the goal,
Thy ample, smiling face, dash'd with the
sparkling dimples of the sun,
Thy brooding scowl and murk, thou unloosd
hurricanes,
Thy unsubduedness, caprices willfulness:
Great as thou art above the rest. thy MANY
tears-a lack from all eternity in thy
content
Naught but the greatest struggles, wrongs,
defeats could make thee greatest-no
Thy lonely state-something thou ever seek'st
and seek'st, yet never gain'st.
Surely some right withheld-some voice, in
huge monotonous rage, of freedom-lover
pent,
Some vast heart, like planets, chained and
chatting in those breakers,
by len1gthend swell, and spasm, and painting
breath,
And rhythmic rasping of thy sands and
waves,
And serpent hiss, and savage peals of
laughter,
And undertones Of distant lion roar
Sounding, appealing to the sky's deaf ear
but now, rapport for once,
A phantom in the night thy confidant for
once,
The first and last confession Of the globe,
Outsurging, muttering from thy souls
abysms,
The tale of cosmic elemental passion,
Thou tellest to a kindred soul.

Funeral OF Paris Rag Picker.
Paris Cor. London News.l

Paris Cor. London News
The funeral of the Paris chiffonnier who
suddenly died at the Indignation meeting
passed off quietly. Fortunately, papers
proving his identity were found on him, and
the transfer Of the body TO the morgue was
thus rendered unnecessary. The burial-place
of his part of Villette being almost out of
town, there was no occasion to take the
corpse through the crowded quarters. The
deceased was 49, and when laid out his head
resembled Blanqui's. The howell in which he
lived was on the top of a wooden shed, APP
preached by outside stairs, bare, reeking
with damp, but not dirty. Aristocratic Paris
went to visit this slum, and word-pictures of
it are given in all the boulevard journals.
The body of the old chiffonnier was laid out
on straw mattress. A holy-water font was
over his bed, and a crucifx placed on his
breast. Notwithstanding this sign of Cathol-
icism, his brother ragmen, who subscribed
to give him decent burial, insisted on it's
being civil. They placed on the coffin
black bead crown bearing the inscription.
"a notre ami," and an immense one of i'm
mortelles.
About thousand poor people, comprising
some blind and decrepit, led by ragged chill
dren, attended the funeral An old ragman.

vigor and good sense which astonished the
reporters. 1t sharply contrasted with
frothy one delivered by NJ. Roche, Socialist
journalist, who attempted to infame the
chiffonniers by telling them that the project

yield to ragmen. Another chiffonnier de.
scribed his interview with NJ. Poubelle, whom
he called ian empty headed man, inflated
with vanity and Indifferent to misery" He
caused a future candidate for seat in the
chamber to read some verses he wrote in
honor of the defunct All the while heavy
rain was falling, and the poor people re-

WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN7
The Question Settled. According to
the Report from a North Carolina
Robin ROOst,


charlotte On. c. Observer
For several weeks past large punches of
robins have been seen in the market and in
quiry revealed the fact that they all come
from the robin roost, near Mr.. Mack Stat
ford's house at Harrisburg, where, for over
three weeks past, large parties have been
making war on the birds with stick
and torch. About 5 o'clock p. m. Mr.. Stat
ford called us to come out into the yard and
see what was going on; and it was sight to
astonish. From all directions great focks of
robins were flying across the heavens, all
winging their way to the roost, which was
almost in plain view of the house. For fully
an hour one flock after another went by, I'M
til the whole canebrake was fairly alive with
the feathered tribe, and before it was good
dark large party set out to make war upon
them. There were sixty-eight men and boys
in the crowd, each carrying d stick and
torch or lantern.
The roost having been reached and action
commenced, the reporter witnessed scene
that he will never forget The canebrake is
about mile long, and extends considerable
distance on either side of the creek 1t
seemed that each individual cane was bent
down with its load of birds. The reporter,
getting just inside the edge of the brake
struck at cluster of birds, and the f1utter
of wings that ensued was deafening From
all sides hundreds Of blinded and bewildered
birds flew about, striking against each other
and against the canes, making a noise that
resembled mighty wind. All through the
brake torches CLEANED, men shouted, and
the deadly stick was going right and left.
The birds never left the BRAKE but flew
about in dire confusion, unable to escape
the weapons in the hands of the men, who
piled them for about an hour with terrible
effect
In the excitement of the battle hardly any
body stopped long enough to pick up all the
slain birds, but went over their routes when
the sport was ended to gather their game.
Our party went into the brake at z o'clock,
and at all were counting over their birds
that lay in piles at each ones feet. Ayoung
man named Query was the most successful,
having killed 1885, The lowest number killed
by any one person was forty-seven. The
total number of robins killed by the party in
enc hour footed up 2,110. This was Friday
night of last week. The nightly battles on
these birds have been constantly going on for
fully three weeks, and yet the number of
robins that swarm the roost does not seem to
abate.
