gum. but somehow one seems TO add to the
effect produced by the other. And, further
more, that any sensible young man objects
to his lady friends chewing gum is the most
utter nonsense. On the contrary, he is
usually only too willing to find the gum,

Among the Bellies and Beaux.

There is gore in the whilom lovely eyes
of several fair Minneapolitans and their
sunny bosoms are swelling with indigna-
ton. They are on the search for the pho
tographer who, at the Wednesday night
meeting, accused the ladies of the city of
being made up'' and artificial, and when
they find him they ''mean to cut the hate
full thing right dead. So there, now.'' A
sprightly damsel, with South Seventh
street coquettishness in her violet eyes, in
dignantly asked the GLOBE man: SIS
there any rouge On my cheeks or any BELLA
donna in my eyes?" turning around cheek
that We'd with the bloom of a peach, and
lifting alluring eyes that rivaled the color
of Minnetonka at eve. The soft-hearted
reporter has joined the search for that vile
photographer and when he finds him will
wade knee-deep in his gore.

May-day was duly observed in Minneapo-

SNOWFALL parties, as might have been sup

finds in that warmer cline the beginning of
summer. The May queen is crowned with
flowers gathered from the woods, and her
throne is a grassy mound in a leafy grove.

He was no Gentleman.

One Of the incidents of the dinner of
the Sinclair club in New York was the
presentation Of hat, umbrella, and
blackthorn stick to the president, James
Dunn. The latter in thanking the un-
known donors, said that he would retain
the stick, which appeared to be genuine,
and gave the umbrella to Mr. Dodge and
the hat to Pat Kehoe. Dodge hoisted
the umbrella and sat beneath it until the
end Of the banquet, while Kehoe wore
the hat. While flushed with enthusiasm
and wine, he removed the hat, and rose
to respond to a toast. Mr.. Mccarthy
placed the hat upon Mr.. Kehoe's chair.
Kehoe dropped into his seat at the end
Of his speech, and looked for his hat,
which he had left on a chair at his side.
He accused several parties of stealing it,
and finally arose in his Indignation and
began to search for it. Mccarthy held
the crushed tile saloft in the gaslight.
Kehoe snatched it from his hand and
ruefully gazed at it. The whole table
was ripping with merrimeut, but every
one exploded when he slowly and
deliberately remarked; Gentlemen,
fun is fun, but the gentleman who sat
upon that hat is no gentleman, and I can
welt him. ~ Halter and Furrier).

we are not in favor of prize fights,

the minds ofinteligent people, we admire
the zeal with which you give
news to the public, and we
also admire the obtuseness of
the negro who buys it, paying five Am
erican cents to see himself soundly
abused and maligned, perhaps the anglo
African will learn some sense before
the world come to and end.

premly happy when it has alenated the

your prejudice aud give him an equal,
chance and he will show that is a better
promoter of morality than the so styled
reporter that drank the old stale beer

are about three of the founders of the

their places. Among the leading lights
in the lodge at present is T. F. Smith, J.
