HOW ,EOrLE WILL TALK.
Wisdom and ignorance Heard On
Every Corner and From ALI Il inds


of People,
If all the sayings of men. women and
children in one day, sensible and nonsens-
ical, were gathered up and put in book,
what a panorama, illustrative of average
every dav wisdom and ignorance they
would make. Here are some remarks that
GLOBE man heard yesterday:
AT THE PANORAMA.
''Was the battle of Gettysburg fought in
1868 or IS64?''
why don't those men lie down behind that
stone wall and shoot down the rebels without
giving them chance to get shot back?"
This painting must have been done by one
OF the old masters, it's so perfect"
'They say the First Minnesota regiment
were the best fighters there were in that
battle
Al you'll only wait till that smoke blows
away GU will get better ldea of how tough
the battle wes.''
THAT wheat field there must reach way out
beyond the Windsor hotel.''
'Yon bet that battle was a daisy"
''Gen. Pickett ought to be riding on black
horse instead of white one. L know, for l
was there and saw him.
"Darned if | see how they get so much
ground onto so small chunk of canvas"
Il wouldn't mind bringing my gun here
and practicing on some OF these rebs jest for
old times -
''That battle came early in July, and they
don't begin to cut wheat in that country until
two weeks later. The man that put IN the
wheat there got it too near ripe
''She must have been a corker. I'll bet it
was liveiier than Fourth of July in big
city"
AT THE KILLEN-BRADBURN SCRAP.
where's Billy Wilson, wonder?'
an bet Killen can knock Cardiff out inside
of eight rounds"
mo set-to is complete unless Ed Hilton is a
spectator"
await till Bradburn gets at Billy Wilson,
IF Cardiff is going to stand before John L.
he wants TO train for foot race
sid rather be base ball umpire than a
referee at prize fight"
Il wonder if its going to be hippodrome. -
These people don't want to listen, if any
body knocks at the door of the box Office.
Three raps don't go. That's the way the
sheriff got the stuff at the Wilson Johnson
scrap"
John Y. Davidson ought to study the game
and act as referee at all the set-tos in the
rink"
''This roof leaks, don't it?"
They ought to be allowed to use two-ounce
gloves
"You bet I'll yell at a prize fight, though
when l get home know its a brutal thing
There's man with a claw-hammer coat
on. He slid out of the opera house between
the acts"
Lots of men here will tell their folks they
were buying Christmas presents all the even
ing. when they get home
when man goes to a prize fight, he's
going to be tough, anyway. and if somebody
asks the most polite gentleman in the world
to move and let him pass, the chances are the
reply will be oh. 20 to thunder
Everybody at the Chicago stockyards
swears b, Billy Bradburn.
when a man puts up good money to see q
prize scrap, he would rather see the best
pugilist in the world lose his reputation on q
poor house than see himself swindled out of
the worth of his money
IN THE HOLIDAY GOODS STORES.
II wonder who writes the poetry that comes
on Christmas cards. I'd like to get some by
the Sweet Singer of Michigan"
Il don't believe in buying presents; l al
ways send a check"
''what does young lady want for Christ
mas, anyway"
II wrote and asked my girl what she wanted,
and she said nothing, but she wanted me to
come and see her. She put up such a bluff
Just said TO myself, I'll call you She gets
nothing and I'll see her later"
81 suppose the man that stole those dia-
monds in Minneapolis got reckless over
Christmas presents and had to make break"
''My wife is so stuck on shopping she'd
sit up nights and shop till she'd bankrupted
the whole family If l didn't draw the line
IN THE HOTELS.
politicians are getting Thick
Mai. Wilson knows more inside stuff than
any other man that holds down chairs at the
Merchants
''Cush Davis is dead sure to be the next
senator"
''Ill bet ten to FIVE on the field against
Davis"
1.-The Davis men haven't got money enough
behind them
''Jonn Ford has got high forehead"
more lies have been told by politicians in
the Merchants rotunda than in any other
place in St. Paul
Capt. Snider will be the next speaker of
the house if he wins his contest"
''Why in thunder will men squirt tobacco
juice on the floor when there's spittoon
within reach?''
'.These people that talk so much poker
slang and are alwars talking about threes
and pairs never sat into game in their lives,
a good many Of them"
some of these men that come to large
cities, wearing SLOUGH hats and buckskin
trousers, pretending to be cowboys. don't
dare to send their pictures where regular
thorOu phhreds live
