A boy who displays >fondness for fishing
has sensational future before him If he
only lives to enjoy it. Nothing is too good
for him to lie about. He and truth part COM
pany early in the fight, and become greater
strangers the longer he lives and the more he
talks. He may be a real estate agent, the
lecturer in dime museum or an alderman.
The world is his Ito talk about Cyclones and
fish stories are inseparable. 1t is hard to tel
which first put in an appearance, and the pre-
sumption is strong that they came together
the cyclone following the first tisherman's re
port. Fresh crops of each have come regu-
larry ever since. No season Of fishing is prop
erly opened until a tornado or two have liv-
ened things up and phenomenal catches or
remarkable healthy fish have been reported.

The season is properly opened in Minnesota
The cyclone has, been around and so have
the fishermen. The latter don't look so well
at night, after days hard work with fiction,
as they did early in the morning. They
looked mussed up as if they had been asleep.
Their faces are red, showing conclusively
that liquor and the sun on the water are q
powerful combination. They have q string
of fish which they carry with evident satisfac-
ton and never for moment give any in
formation as to the real catcher thereof or
the price paid for the catch. They seek to
create the impression that they caught the
fish and will even impart such information to
their wives and ministers.

| Mr.. s. Mayall, the real estate dealer and
lawyer whose Office a primitive affair, Is in
one of the old-fashioned buildings on Third
| street, is a well known character among the
old settlers of Minnesota. Before his arrival
in st. Paul he resided in NJ aine and repre-
scented that district in congress early in the
! fifties. e-.t.-
! Referring to his congressional experience
the other day, he said that while he was in at
tendance at the national legislature the late
Robert Toombs Of Georgia, the great fre-eat-

rebel who gloried in his unreconstruction, ut
tered his memorable speech to the effect that
he would live to see the day when he would
call the roll of his slaves in the shadow of

a well-posted politician. ito read the Repub-
lican papers of late and notice how exercised
the editors are over the future plans of Igna-
thus Donnelly OF Nininger. They accuse him
of being interested in the Farmers alliance
for no other reason than to assist him to the
United States senate. He tells his most inti-
mate friends that he does not want any Office
in the gift of the people; that he is busy at
his new work on the cyphers of Shakespeare
plays by which he expects to prove that
Bacon was their real uthor, and, therefore,
has no time to take part in o campaign. One
would naturally think that Donnelly knew
most about his own plans
