A gentleman named Schofield was robbed
yesterday by clever pickpocket. He went
to the Security bank aud had check for
$500 cashed. he afterwards took a Wash
ington avenue street car, and noticed that a
stranger whom he had seen in the bank fol-
lowed him pretty closely. The stranger
made a sortle on him, and before Schodeld
could make a protest the $3.50 was in the
hands of the stranger. Then ensued a
running match, enlivened by lusty shouts of
police" and at the corner of First avenue
north the stranger fell down in the snow.
When he got up and renewed his co urse he
had not the pocketbook. He got away. be-
ing too feet for his pursuers, but the money
was subsequently found buried deep in the
snow where he had fallen.

In the city convention the eligible candi-

former two, it is thought, have the inside
track, and upon one OF them will fall the
dignity OF making a struggle for supremacy.
A gentleman who is pretty thorough
posted in Minneapolis politics advanced
the opinion yesterday. in this connection.
that the fight between Pillsbury and Ames
will be renewed this spring. He felt con-
fident that Mayor Pillsbury will succeed in
carrying the Republican city convention.
However. the mayor persistently remains
silent upon the subject, and the people are
held In suspense.

Many Of the Republican aldermen look
upon the active patrol district ordinance as
a thing odious and are willing to vote FOR
its repeal when an opportunity Is pre-

now they regret it.

essay on misspelled words, draws the
attention toward the word ''grosser,
and says it should be used in that way,
instead of ''grocer'e." But now, as it
seems very good word, and as we have
grown used to ii, we had better leave it as
it is. [ can recall an old sign in New
York city that read "Grocers and Spicers'
but when ''spicers and grocers" first
merged into 'grocers" am at loss to
ascertain. As peoples needs increased,
and with them desire for more con-
venient place to buy general stocks of
food it is natural the grocer has absorbed,
by degrees, the many branches which
at one time distinctive trades, and we find
now under the general head grocer" what
was formerly known as: The chandler
dealer and manufacturers of soap, can
dies, oil, etc. The fish monger-dealer in
all varieties of dried, smoked and fresh
fish. The wine and spirit, merchant,
whose occupation we can well Judge
from the name. The green grocer or
dealer in fresh garden products, or but
ter, eggs, etc. The pOulterer, or dealer
IN live or dressed poul-
try, game etc. The spiccer, or dealer in
teas, sugars. etc. The tobacconist, the
name fully indicates the business. The
Italian warehouse man, who sold fine oils,
dried and preserved fruits, prunes, olives,
and sardines, etc. The fruiterer, who
dealt exclusively in tropical and domestic
fresh fruits. The cheese-mOnger or deal
er in cheese. You can readily see that in
a country like America, where the pro-
gressive element predominates,' and, there
being no time for the parter, the merchant
or grocer has gradually drawn all these
several lines under his care and merged
them into a general business, and now
the grocer of to-day is the representative
buyer of the food products of all coun-
tries. He is, therefore, an educator of
tastes in the food people eat. It is through
his industries and persuasions that even
Americans were taught that it was Just
the thing to eat Russian caviare although
no one after the first mOuthful would
! prefer it to old Boston baked beans. The
grocer of to-day is a far different man to
the spicer of three or four centuries ago.
! Then he was only one of the many trades
now the many trades center in him. You
have reason to feel proud of your bust
ness, and of being q grocer. The step
! from the retailer to the wholesaler is but
short one. The intelligence required
! in retail busin ess is not excelled by that
needed by the the wholesaler. There is
no better educated class of men in the
trade than the grocer, and [ will prove it
when [ tell you, that at a banquet given
to Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, of Eng
| land, which was attended by the brightest

at when he misses his bird. The setter
is SO called from its manner of making
known the fact that he has sighted game.
This is accom- lished by carelessly taking
seat as if nothing had happened and
acting as if he had sat down to remain,
very like a carpenter working by the
day.
We have heard of settlers which, after
being seated, would take out cigar and
begin to smoke or commence to look
over the morning newspaper, but never
fully credited the story.
We did, however, once see a setter
which habitually carried a camp-stool
around in its mouth, and, upon sighting a
covey of chickens, would calmly sit down
on the stool and cross its legs. We actu-
ally saw this several years ago, so there
can be no mistake about it.
A fine Irish setter belonging 30 an
Esteline gentleman once went into a
blacksmith shop during chicken season,
and happening to sight recently killed
chicken in the belt of a man in the shop,
Immediately began to set it with more
haste than caution, and in so doing by
mistake sat on red hot horseshoe which
the blacksmith had just dropped. It's
owner afterward paid the blacksmith
$3.50 for the sash and telegraphed to the
next town for his dog.
