! that the carnival fell through it would be
one of the best things that ever happened

and he relieved himself in the following
strain: People all over the United States
have got the idea that Minnesota is so dog
| goned cold, winters, that nobody can live
up here and take any comfort. The ice
palace has been advertised all over the
country and everybody is looking to st.
! Paul, and many will come from all over
| the country to help out the sport. If it is
so warm that the ice can't be had for the
| palace everybody i'll the country will hear
| about it, and that old frozen idea will be
| perpetually thawed out. Nothing would
| advertise this state so favorably as to have
| this winter too warm for the palace"

said: THAT idea of the terrible cold. came
! from men having snide thermometers and
being such big liars"
