BEFORE AND AFTER.

Painters. verse makers and story-tellers
seem to dwell especially upon the contrasts
of life-sunshine and shadow, spring and au-
tumn. pleasure and sorrow are placed side
by side-the one to emphasize the other.
Recall to your mind the old picture i'll
which the light streamed out from the cur
tanned window in the mansion and revealed
the hgure of a starving woman, who,
crouched against the railing, listens to the
sound of reYelry from within. You never
forgot that picture. but the contrast that
fixed it so forcibly in your mind is feeble in
comparison with the change that has within
the past ten days transformed the recent
campaign headquarters of the two great
political parties from scene OF hustle and
activity to one of deSOlatlOn and gloom.
Before election the room was crowded from
early morning until early morning again.
The chairman of the county committee was
constantly surrounded by dozen persons,
who talked to him at once. The
secretary's table was in the mid
die of dense thrOng. The members
OF the committee each had crowd about
them. The treasurer stood facing line of
men who fought for their places to reach
him. Clerks made out lists of speakers.
messages were being constantly received,
foreigners were being naturaliZed by the
hundreds, everybody talked and everybody
smoked. A band played at the front door
and flag fiOated i'll the breeze. Money

Steve Cook had the finest kennel of dogs
and the best outfits in st. Paul, but they
have become absorbed in business pursuits
of late and their old love for game stalking
has grown rusty.
Among other prominent gentlemen who
love to indulge in this manly sport is Robert
A. Smith, of the council. He takes a keen
delight ia outdoor sport and is quite as
good shot as he is base ball enthusiast.

would make the pulse Of an Eastern swell
hump itself for envy to behold
MIKE CUMMINGS DRESSED CAP-A-PIE,
and ready to start on an excursion. When
made up for one of these trips Mike is
regular dandy. Behold him attired in his
top boots, corduroys, pea-jacket of velvet,
with cap to match, and you have the beau
ideal Of an experienced hunter. He is well
up in hunting lore and when on an ex-
tended trip all his bosom friends are bound
to be rewarded with pair of birds-just
by way of remembrance. He knows
all the good passes in the coun-
try. and if there is covey of chickens
around about Aug. Is, he knows where
they are. too.

line markSmen, as was demonstrated by
their recent exploit.

stopper when it comes to mailing EN- on The

brought down as many birds as any
man in st. Paul, his old friend, j. j.
Lemon. excepted. and who can tell story
OF adventure that would make John Ray
mond's hair stand on end; Charley Dunno,
who could nail a duck in the eye almost
before he was out of short clothes; George
Allen, who like sensible man went duck
hunting the day after election and who
came back the other day with the roses i'll
the place where campaign pallor rested, and
few hundred others whom we will give in

appalling accounts of Pearls exploits in

modest blush to the cheek of the Police

Yesterday morning our hero appeared at
his post looking very pale and with dark
circles about his eyes, as one who had
paced the floor all night worrying about his
creditors; one whom it would be mercy

will be both wiser and happier man, for
