How They Love Each Other!


The oldest tnhabitant Is unable to recollect a
census report that did not give grave offense to
some enterprising cities. The returns are prac-
tically all in of the Minnesota census, and as a
resultSt. Paul and Minneapolis-places which
have long loved each other as David loved
Goliah-are exchanging direct and pungent
compliments. Minneapolis insists that the re-
turns show that she is the favOrite daughter OF
Minnesota. and when last seen was making
faces at st: Paul and endeavoring to dis
credit the st. Paul directory. The Pioneer
Press takes up the cudgels for the
invitation from the Minneapolis Tribune to dis
cuss census results remarks that if 1T felt there
was any need of such controversy ait would
certainly decline to engage in a contest with
the most colossal liar in the Unitid States" II
this state OF things is to follow every taking OF
| the census. Minnesota would do well to aban-
don that exercise. 1t is interesting and profit
able to learn how many inhabitants there are
in state, and in what ratio the sections are
growing. But such knowledge ought not to be
gained at the expense of northwestern gore At
all events, the two angry municipalities in
question ought TO be bound over to keep the
peace.

From the New Dreams Times Democrat.
A few years ago large number of railway
passenger agents were cOngregated at Jackson
Vile, Fla, endeavOring to secure business for
their respective roads, as the travel of northern
tourists happened TO be very large that winter
w lille the passenger agents were infeSting the
hotels and making things lively and having a
jolly time among themselves, the editor of one
of the Jacksonville papers came out in an edi-
torial aud called the passenger agents body
snatcherS and declared that they were nuis-

should be kept away from the depots by the
police. The article aroused the ire of the pas

To appoint IL committee to be called the retrac-

as he noted the fact that the editor was very

She used to go to the store nearly every day,

"Why, pa, that's Mr.. -, and he is q real nice

The governor informed his daughter that he
did not want him monkey ing around there any

again he would tie him to the fence and back a
mule against him.

The old man hearing the noise, thought that

to the window, saw the rope stretched very
tight and shaking around as though some one
was climbing up. The old man seized his
