senator r. B. Langdon OF Minneapolis
would gladly consent to move to st. Paul and
occupy the governors Office at the capitol for
the next two years, provided he was not
called upon TO make Il speech during his
term OF Office. He is not an orator. at least
he thinks he is not gifted in that direction,
ana dlsAkes to make any public address. He
witnessed the poor figure which ex-Goy.
Pillsbury cut while governor in trying to
make speeches without having anything to
say or knowing how 10 say it, and on this
account he is backward in making up his
mind to enter the canvass for the Republican
nomination.
Gov. Hubbard never looks forward to
banquet or public dinner with any amount OF
pleasure. He troubles not his mind over the
appearance of his dress coat or the probable
arrival of his laundry. He knows that where
he is there will be toast to Minnesota" TO
which sentiment he is supposed to make a
response. During his two terms as governor
he has responded TO that toast many scores
OF times. Great as is the subject he has ex-
hausted himself in replying thereto and cold
chills run down his spinal column when he
receives an invitation to a public dinner with
request to make a few remarks. He knows
what that implies. When troubled with fever
or in the midst of a well-developed case OF
nightmare, the well-known toast Minnesota
is constantly before his mental eyes.

During tn past summer, among the
hundreds of visitors who spent the season at
White Bear lake, was a family from Des
Mones, Ia, which included representatives
from three different generations. The grand.
mother was very Gevout churchwoman and
sought to briug up her youthful grandson in
the way in which he should go. During their
stay at the lake, young man, who took Il
fancy TO the youthful member Of the group,
took him out walking one Sunday morning.
As they meandered along the lake shore the
young man suggested a fishing excursion.
which elected from the little boy request to
be allowed to fish then and there. s fishing
apparatus was SD, elily constructed by means
of bent pin, piece of thread and a small
branch of tree, sud the little fellow was
soon watching and waiting for bite.

On reaching home the little boy was enthu-
siastic over his mornings enjoyment and the
kindness of his grtwn-up friend. He told all
about their walk, and finally wound up by
saying, And, grandma, we went a-fishing."
Fishing on Sunday?" questioned his as
tonished grandmother, ~ am surpri sed at
you and your friend. Don't you know how
wicked it is to catch fish on Sunday?"
"Well,' replied the little fellow, ST don't
think we was very wicked then, for we didn't
have even a bite
A great many Of che present residents of
st. Paul-the newcomers 1 mean do not
know that st. Paul possessed among its early
structures castle. Yet such is the fact. 1t
was quite a landmark in the early days and
was known as ''MOffat's Castle" 1t stood
where now stands the First National bank on
the corner of Fourth and Jackson streets sand
was demolished 10 make room for the present
bank building. The castle was originally
put up in u ravine, which extended across
Jackson street. BY degrees the ravine was
filed up and MofTat, the owner of the
quaint s:oIe building, added additional
stories to the castle so as to keep one story
above ground. In this way he finally had a
building six stories high, three under ground,
which were used Us cellars and sub-cellars,
and three above the Surface Of the street.
1t was great temperance headquarters, it's
propri tor being Al temperan e advocate. He
never ked the name "Mohat's Castle" and
called the Mofiat house. The house was
con- TT IcIed entirely by its owner and pro-
prize or. He not only hauled the stones used
III S construction, but put up the walls and
woodwork.
1t is fGctworthy of mention that the areas
immedi ately in frort of aloons are, as gen.
CT Il rule, in the bes of condition. Iu ing the
IN jor part of the ys.ri- is apparent that the
sidewalk fronting such establishments is bet
ter than the sidewalk adjoining on either side.
1t is Away in coed order, and, no matt err of
what material, is in perfect repair. 1t is the
first sidewalk after Il snow storm to be
cleaned. This state of affairs is us manifest
in ST. Paul as in other cities.

She has aged somewhat within the last few
years aud is angular and thin. Her arms
are no longer, however, than they were few

male attire her thinness was not so manifest.

People will talk and show people are no ex.
ception TO the rule. They have been trying
TO marry Miss Anderson off for the past three
seasons but she is still single and welded to
her profession. Henry E. Abbey, her
manager is a widower. People do say that
he would not be averse to trying his fortune
again in the matrimonial lottery, provided
Americas traeedienne would risk it with him.
Others maintain that j. Forbes Robertson,
her chief support, is a promising candidate
and is a great favorlte with the star. The
latter conclusion. ! am told, is largely based
on the fact that her love-making of late has
improved radically and it is ascribed to little
touch If reality on her part.
Ex-Gov. c. K Davis bears strik ing
resemblance to Ben Butler. He is not pos
sessed of the ''cockeye' which is such a
marked characteristic of the great lawyer
from Massachusetts, but in other respects.
bears marked likeness to him. Gov. Davis
passed through the Merchants the OTHER day
on his way to hold a consultation with Lieut..
Gov. Gilman who was in the city. Two
travelling men saw him pass. They were
