ALL SORTS.


ALL SORTS.
About noon yesterday, as the church bells
were Ginning of peace on earth and good will
to men, A. L. Nordin, assistant secretary of
state and public commissioner OF statistics,
entered the GLOBE Office in a frame of mind
in anything but keeping with the church
music. He had been informed of the several
| newspaper articles in relation to his pro-
longed stay in Minneapolis and on his open
countenance Indignation sat, plumed. "Po-
| litical issues have kept me in Minneapolis
since Tuesday" he said. ST went back to
st. Paul this morning, and for the first time
learned of the newspaper articles. The Dis
patch and Tribune are malicious fabricatorS,
and I am back in Minneapolis to refute
their lies. They only want to injure me-"
He went out without intimating the course
he would pursue.
Republican Spider-Will you walk into my
parlor? 1t is the prettiest little parlor you
ever did spy.
Labor Fly-No. thank you: we will not
place labor ticket in the field for your bene-
fit this fall. We will support the party which
shows by its action, not its speech, it is our
friend
A whitening simeon passed over Mime
apolis yesterday, and the anticipated thun
der storm was looked for in vain. The sun
beamed down like huge ball of molten
brass, and what would ordinarily be called
breeze, felt like the blast from smelling
furnace. The clerk of the weather must be
standing in with the base ball fanatics.
Young people are predlsposed to get
Spooney at Lake Harriet, SO say the more
sedate and elderly visitors of that popular
resort. The writer noticed funny Incl
dent of the kind yesterday afternoon. A
young couple secured a row boat and went
out on the lake, to about the CENTER A stiff
breeze was blowing, and the young beau
pulled in his oars, his sweetheart raised her
parasol, and he laid reclining in her arms.
Nothing could be seen of the couple except
the yellow parasol, and an occasional
glimpse of the girls hat. Three young men
who had been attracted by the performance
pulled out from the shore in working boat
and soon came up alongside. The lover
spgang with agility to his oars as though
nothing had happened, and the three OBJ
servers set up hooking shout.

Hon. August Won Ende would like to be

he invariably voted with the Democrats.
The Germans are urging the candidacy
of Hon. Anton Grethen for the Office of

ties imposed.

There is probably no foundation in fact
for the report that Capt. Mills would like
to go to the legislature again.
Aid. W. W. Sly will not run for office
this fall. He is waiting for a .'vindica-
tom next spring.
John Harmon is father. He set up the
cigars yesterday and declared that the boy
weighed ten pounds.
The Detroit correspondent of the Ma
| tional Police Record claims that Detroit
has the tallest police officer in the United
States, his height being six feet three
| inches. Minneapolis can beat that and not
| half try. There is Officer Helger Fours-
chow. who stands six feet four and three
| quarters inches in his stockings. But he is
so well proportional that he does not look
particle over six feet. EX-Capt. Nc
Craney measured six feet five inches, and
| there are number of others who can pass
| the six feet three inch mark.

Under the present administration consid-
cradle attention has been paid to the ap-
pearance of the patrolmen, and the efforts
to induce some of them to become tidy in
| their dress are sometimes almost ,ludicrOuS
! When the night patrol reported for duty at
the central station last evening one of the
officers had on hat, instead of his
helmet He was a big fellew,
over six feet tall and as broad
as barn-door. On his head was perched
one of these little dude hats with a low
crown and curved brim-such hat as
might become consumptive dry goods
clerk of diminutive proportions. Col.
Chase was rooted to the spot with horror,
|
eyeing the patrolman'S head-gear. Timidly
he said: MAY Il ask what you have on
your head?"
"Why. it's my hat" sheepishly returned
the patrolman, as he removed the 'cady''
to see what was the matter with it,
''Oh, Pm glad to learn what it was. l
supposed it was a fried egg. 1t looked
like it," sarcastically reioined the colonel.
Silence reigned for few minutes, and the
patroIman looked somewhat confused as a
smoker went around the room. Finally
the colonel couldn't stand it any longer,
and broke out with by the
long-suffering holy Moses. what in
the name of common decency
do you mean by going on duty with that
thing on your head Surprising l should
order out detail, you'd be fine looking
jay to line up with the other men, wouldn't
you, with that inverted saucepan, and
what do you suppose your helmets for
to wear or take home for the baby to play
with? Don't ever let me catch you coming
on duty unless you are properly dressed,
sir.'' and the colonel wiped the perspiration
from his face and refused to be Modified
until the patrolman volunteered to go and
get the helmet.
