| end and the well-dressed young man started
| back for the ''rowdy Northwest" The news
| OF his departure spread among the residents
| of the little village in which he CHANGED to be
| visiting, and, as result he was requested to
| take Charge of an aged aud unsophisticated
| FARMER who was going out into Dakota to
| make his home with son who had prospered
| in that territory. The young man and his
verdant companion, the latter having on home

| started west
| AT Chicago they changed trains, and there
| being two or three hours to wait the young
| man suggested the propriety of going down
| to one of the Chicago hotels and getting
| breakfast. The old farmer being assured
| that the meal would not cost him anything,
| gladly assented. On the way out OF the
Union depot, on the West side of the city. they
| were met by policeman, who eyed the we'll
| dressed young man and his verdant-looking
companion with great care.

The inspection was TO flowed by the police

Where are you going?' inquired the
officer.
For a second it was on the tip of the young

The ticket was displayed and likewise the

John Barnes, the manager of the st. Paul

On three different occasions he has gone

he has never seen and has no means of telling

headed or bald. On each one of these three

finger of one hand crooked at the first joint

up, it will be pretty safe to conclude that the

Tied Sullivan, the manager OF the Milwau-
kee base ball team, is a base ball Jonah, if
| ever there was one said a ST. Louis man,
referring to the erratic individual who at
tempted to bring his Milwaukee team up to
| West st. Paul and locate it there.
| HE never has made success of anything"
continued the representative from the future
| great city of the United States. ''although he
has tried running nine in several places
and is always in the hole financially and his
team is always failing up the list. He had
| charge of the st. Louis Browns, the cham
| pions of the American association and the
| best paying nine in the country. When he
had charge the nine did not amount to much
| and the games did not attract any crowds.
AS soon as he left the nine picked up and SO
| did the receipts. Then he tried the National
| league nine in ST. Louis and that was another
failure in his hands, Kansas City next saw
| him and his stay ia that city recorded another
failure in his long list of unsuccessful vent
| ures.
HE started the Northwestern league and
| had his pick of places. He selected Milwau-
| kee although urged to locate in St. Paul and
| take charge of The st. Paul nine. Milwaukee
| has failed to patronize her club and he has
| lost money, while the ST. Paul management
is coming that useful article. ST. Paul's nine
is second on the list, while the Milwaukee
team is next to last. Sullivan is a Jonah.
I'll bet if he had charge of Gabriel and his
trumpet that Gabriel never would blow that
| much-talked of instrument"

| Up at st. Vincent, town at the extreme

| CARDS the commissioner as the embodiment
of all that is learned and good. The deputy
marshal, on calling the crowd to order in the
commissioners room, invariably says:

| well, am glad that the summer is nearly
over" said q sojourner at Lake Mlnnetonka.
| Too many mosquitoes?' queried by

'Oh! I've got so 1 don't mind such little
trifes," piled the summer resident.
"Your wife with your

| The worst trouble is that I'm tired of working
for enjoyment 1 want to come back to the

The fact that the hanson cabs in this city
have no other stand than on lower Third
street, opposite the Merchants hotel, causes
| considerable comment from the strangers in
| ST. Paul. who have had occasion to employ
| that class of vehicles Unless they go down,
| almost to the depot, the strangers. and in
| fact the home people as we'll, are compelled
| to do without hansoms.
I 1t strikes an ordinary observer that the To-
| cation OF a few hansoms in the vicinity OF
| Bridge square and in the neighborheod of the
Ryan would prove great convenience to the
| public generally and source of revenue to
those employed in driving the hansoms.
