St. Paul daily globe., 1885-03-07


lesson the levee resolution offered by Mr..
Hall in the West Side union last night.
*s*
1t isn't so very long ago that young St.
Paul gentleman of an amatory disposition
took to ride a young lady not entirely uncon-
nected with the stage. His innocent ap-
proaches to familiarity were received with
apparent acquiescence, until about five miles
out of the city, when the lady dropped her
glove from the buggy. He alightrd, of
course, to recover the lost article, whereupon
his lady consort quietly drove off and left him
to walk home. The next time young lady
riding with him drops anything, she will
jump out and get it herself.

A good one on one of the best and merri-
est good old comrades of the town: He
came in on train of which he was in charge
last Saturday noon. He was cold and hun
CRY and wanted to get home, but some of
his com panions captured him and dined and
wined him for an hour. He had with him a
quart bottle of cream, which was presented
him on his way in, and, after he got away
from the boys, he bought quart of bulk
oysters, which he carried in one of those
paper pals by wire handle. Just at the
last moment he bethought himself that the
next day was Sunday and he ought to have a
turkey for dinner He rushed in to his
butcher and selected one, and it was done
up with about eight inches of straw paper,
tied about the featbery wings by a Single
cotton string. He grasped it by the legs and
got aboard post-marinee car, almost filled
with ladies, there being but two or three
gentlemen among them. In trying to bal
ance the bottle of cream under his arm and
10 keep his oysters from splling, while he
held much needed strap, he dropped the
turkey. 1t became time for him to alight,
and he was studying how he should manage
to reload without appearing more awkward
before the smiling ladies, for the wrap had
come off his plump turkey and the wings had
spread out in the straw. He was, however,
greatly relieved from his dilemma when
sypathizing gentleman exclaimed, "Say, why
don you let the turkey fly homep'

Tom is a waiter at St. Paul open-all-night
restaurant, and on being summoned to take
the orders of three colored men in company
with one white girl, at O'Clock in the morn
ing, said he is sure now that the "war of the
races", which has been threatening this. land
of the spread eagle so long, is now over
with.

A well-known official, in talking to a
GLOBE reporter about the defeat of the high
license bill, said that drunkenness would be
practically done away with if it were not for
the custom Of treating. He has had oppor-
tunity for observing, and believes that abol
ishing treating would solve the problem. If
an anti-treatiug society was formed he would
join it, or he would be one of fifty citizens
to organize such society.

The following are the concluding SEN
tences of an obituary notice received in this
office yesterday: He died of what was sup
posed to bel dropsy, he has been treated by
several physicians for this disease, but a
post mortem examination revealed the fact
that his long illness, suffering and death was
caused by all abnormal deposit of adipose
tissue about the vitals." 1t was interesting
to hear the clergyman offer earnest prayer
for the physicians that they might better un
derstand their business.
