STREET SAYINGS.

Two men stood on the street corner yester-
day talking on sporting topics, when one of
them remarked:
II see the Wilson-Carditf match has been
postponed"
Yes was the reply. 'It's one week from
next Friday night"
what was the reason for the postpone
ment?"
Cardiff claims that he hurt his arm in his
match with Mitchell
ibid he strike Mitchell so hard that he
sprained his arm?''
YES"
ibid Mitchell know anything about it at
the time?''
He don't give it out that he did,
Continuing the conversation the last speaker
said:
II saw that fight between Mitchell and Car
diff and in my opinion Mitchell could have
placed Cardiff in Il hospital in two rounds if
he had wanted to; why, II the first blow that
Mitchell led out had struck Cardiff, they
have had to cut his fist out of him with an
axe"

1t was noticed Yesterday that soiourners at
the lakes came to the city and dined, and did
not return on the evening trains. They said
the weather was a trife too frigid to be en-
joyable and they did not fancy eating ice
cream under cover of overcoats and sealskin
sacques. Even in the city the people walked
around with large and thrifty goose pimpleS
standing out on them, and fires in parlor
CRATES were not uncomfortable, and all this
time people in the East are dwindling away
into little streams of sweat.

Elias Moses, one of the pioneer settlers of
Minnesota, is experimenting the building of
the large pavilion at Red Rock. From the
roof of the structure rises flag staff. From
that flag STAFF said Mr.. Moses, 1.-THE Ameri-

meeting, for if there's anything that's sacred
to the people of the United States it is the
American flag

Sam Jones, the great evangelist, is expected
here next Wednesday morning to open q
weeks service at Red Rock. Mr.. Jones
recently quit chewing tobacco, and gives as
one of his reasons why, that he anticipated
a trip to the Northwest among the farmers,
and in order to preserve his dignity he was
obliged to stop chewing the weed, for while he
was engaged in camp meeting work he didn't
like to have the grangers step up to him in
crowd and accost him with. ''Say, Brother
Jones, give us er chew ov yer plug 1t
would be humiliating
