course that is when they are making an open

on prairie or open ground. When they are

Dit or noise. Out in Montana they had to

| A Republican politician, well acquainted
| With Senator Sabin, told me that he would be
| greatly surprised if the United States senate
ever confirmed the appointment Of DIR. Guer-
| non OF Little Falls as collector of customs at
| at st. Vincent.
| "Bookwalter," said he, ''whom DR.. Guernon
| succeeded, was and is the faithful follower
and lieutenant of Senator Sabin. Bookwalter
was put in that Office because he was such
good friend of Sabin's, his appointment being
the first made after Sabin got in the senate.
Notwithstanding these facts, Bookwalter was
the first Republican officeholder in Minnesota
resnoved by the present administration, and
DIR. Gucrnon appointed. Sabin will feel that
| 1t was direct fight On him, and will naturally
do what he can to prevent the doctors confir-
nation. The fitness of the new man is not
brought into question. 1t is simply personal
| fight.
NOW it strikes me that it would have been
policy to allow Sabin's pet, for that is about
what Bookwalter is, to stay for some time and
shift the other offceholders. In that way
SaDln would not have fought these confirma-
tions. After the other appointments were all
right. then get rid of Bookwalter he being
the last to go. Sabin could not have made
much of fight. The senate is Republican,
and Sabin has some influence. It's a great
thing for Sabin. He's always been accuses
OF being half Democrat His fight to pre-
vent the confirmation OF the Democratic ap-
pointments will make him many friends
among the Republicans

Sargent, the associate editor of the ST. Cloud
Times at the time of the cyclone was in !
charge of the paper, c. T. Mcdonald, the edi- :
tor, being in st. Paul. 1t was Wednesday
afternoon, the day of publication Sargent
was standing about the composing-room,
While the paper was being made up He
heard the noise of the approaching tornado,
and on looking out of the Office saw the wind
clouds: They appeared to be coming in the
direction of the Catholic church. in the ex-
IRENE end of the town. His journalistic in
stinct induced him to leave the office and run
for the point where it appeared probable
that the clouds would break. Two other men
followed him.
Down the street they rushed as if going for
fire, and had not gone two blocks when the
clouds shifted and appeared to be coming
directly after them. Of course, Sargent
changed his course and ran for shelter. He
managed to get out Of the path of the storm
and escaped injury. He is of the opinion
that he will know a cyclone the next time he
sees one coming, and will never knowingly
run for one as he did at st. Cloud.

lis breaking down. 1t is apparent to those
who have played with him in the days gone
by. OF late he has not bothered himself about
his support, although in former days he used
to coach everybody. He was very particular
with the play actors in Hamlet and gener-
ally taught them how to repeat their lines"
Il was member of McVicker's stock COM
pany of Chicago when Booth came on to play
an engagement. Hamlet was in rehearsal,
and Booth was very exacting about the play
ers, requiring them to repeat the lines several
times Finally he spoke the lines and acted
them as only Booth could, and having fin
ished, turned to the poor actors and said:
Why don't you act in that way?'
DO you suppose, Mr.. Booth, remarked one
the two. that if we could act in that way we
would be playing minor parts at SIS d

A railroad official has explained to me why
the milwaukee, and "Omaha" lines do not
run their fast and Limited trains between
St. Paul and Chicago on Saturday night He
said that to begin with the travel was very
light on that night, which of itself was gooj
reason for not running the 'limited'' trainl
on that night In addition to that fact he
said that there train on Sunday out of
Chicago to the Northwest, hence there was no
connection to be made and no necessity for
the Saturday night train.

1.-THE spectacle of the sRatcatcher.' now al
the Grand opera house." remarked ST. Paul
man, reminds me of time when the rats
troubled me a good deal. In fact, nothing
was secure from them. 1t was the carly days
on the Mississippi and the boats were not as
complete as they are now. People coming up
in this country had no place to go to and So
they remained on the boats, slept on the deck
or anywhere. They did this Notwithstanding
the rats just covered everything. was on a
boat one night when the rats actually ate the
mutton tallow off my lips, which had put
there to cure little burn. They also gnawed
OF the bone buttons on a mans coat who was
sleeping near me. In those early DAYS tbs
