Strother, proprietor of the Strother
house, is a whole-souled fellow and
keeps very good house; the night and
day clerk all one and yard wide. The
depot agent is just little absent
minded at Cresco. There were five
travelling men wishing to go to Calmar.
Just then freight pulled in, being fol-
lowed by passenger, if Oh time. Had
the agent told us the passenger was two
hours late, which he did not, we could
have gone on the freight, done our bust
ness in Calmar, caught the passenger
out, making nearly days time for the
houses we represent.

traveller who pays more attention TO
his business than to national holidays
is Billy Blake, Lanpher, Finch u Skin
ner's hustler in the hat line on the
Manitoba road. Billy got into CocatO
early last Wednesday morning with five
trunks resembling presumption shan
ties, and at once began looking for a
sample room. The one at the hotel
being too small, he proceeds to rent the
town hall, which he converted into a
hrSt-clasS sample room. After spread
ing his line with hats of all kinds, in
Guiding straw hats and WOmen'S bon
nets, he starts to look up trade. Billy
iSyvery popular with his trade in this
section, and as soon as he got outside
of the building he met the city fathers
with an American flag, which they
hoisted on the flagstaff III front of the
hall. Blake was very much pleased to
see the interest taken by the city faith
.ers in making everything pleasant for
him, and thanked them very cordially
and started to drum up trade. The fiji st
place he called was at the store of an
old customer and friend. He told him
he had rented the town hall for a sam
pie room, and as the city fathers were
so pleased to see him they thought they
would decorate the place by raising the
American flag in his honor. His Gus
toner smiled and said: For nerve,
Billy, you take the cake. This is Wash

ROXY'S BUDGET.
He Sizes Up Some of the Knights
He Has Recently Met.


And so come the changes over man as
time passes on, but more remarkably so
over that of A. S. Guiterman, of Chi
cago, whose peculiaritieS have SO often
been bespoken before through your
columns. Who of Mr.. Guiterman'S
friends, known to them better as "Gitt,"
will not remember him as the first in
every jollity that he was near by to par
take of. Not that he has lost any of his
Old-time wit OF humOr, or that he is not
as ever ready and willing to give his as
sisting hand as heretofore to the help of
all brother knights, but, instead of be-
ing around at his old-time haunts look
ing for fun and gaiety, he is found in
his bed by the hour of 1880 p. M, unless
sitting for train, and then with book
in his hand. Can it be that there is a
woman in the case? If there be
female lucky enough to have enamored
this bold young knight she is surely to
be congratulated, for | cannot attribute
the sudden change in his disposition to
any other cause but his devotion for
her. Don't forget to let us be there,
Git, even if you go to Duluth.

Charlie Mccarthy, who represents
Edison, Keith & Co., the wholesale dry
goods firm of Chicago, is still cultivat-

irresistible among the fair ones. But
he is worker for his house, and a we'll

receive cheering intelligence from him

MILLIONAIRES' GLOSSY PETS.
The Secret Of the Popularity of
> the Tall Silk Hat.

If we look. at the matter closely, we
may find some reason for the apparently
unaccOuntable clinging to the tall silk
hat, says the London Telegraph. Male
costume in England has been leveled
very much. A clerk can wear a suit of
clothes that by gaslight it is difficult to
distinguish from the evening dress of a
duke or millionaire. So far good, for
it precludes the richer man from faunt-
ing his wealth, and it enables poor men
to mix on easy terms in social inter
course with persons who have ten OF
fiftyfold their income. The silk hat,
however, remains the one article of at
tire which the poor clerk or artisan can
not wear day after day and keep bright
and smooth without an amount of
trouble OF expense he cannot really
afford.
A fashionable young man can take
care of his new silk hat, be careful
where he lays it down and take it up
tenderly. A clerk who has to rush
about the city with money or messages
cannot indulge in these fopperies. He
must wear something that can stand
rough usage and hasty handling.
The silk hat, therefore, is valued be-
cause when seen day after day pol
lshed, perfect and ever new, it indicates
comparative leisure and comparative
wealth. 1t is the seal and stamp of the
man who can brush it or get it brushed,
and who can renew il when he likes.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, on his recent
visit, was struck with the religious
reverence which Englishmen have for
their hats in contrast to the careleSsness
of the Americans That is because we
have larger leisured class who can
''devote their whole minds to it, as
Leech's dandy said about the neckties.
While, however, we recognize the eX-
cuse,we do not admit its reasonableness.
Surely. Englishmen will not wear for
ever the most inartistic article of dress
ever deviSed-the narrow-brimmed
stOve-pipe headgear still fashionable,
in the shape of the tall, glossy silk hat.

SHERMAN ON ANNEXATION.
"E Pluribus Unum" Must be the Motto
of North America.

The annexation of Canada was the propo-
sition which Senator Sherman advanced in
the senate the other afternoon in a speech
which received the closest attention from
both sides. 1t was the first time the sen
ator had been heard on the question. He
stripped off all ambiguity, and said the ne
cessity Of political union has become
an absolute necessity. Reciprocity or com.
mercial union was but "a temporary dcYice,
for the political amalgamation of both coun-
tries was inevitable. The Canadian prov
inces were now so organized that they could
readily enter as states Of the union. We
had acquired Texas, Louisiana and other
portions Of our territory, and this further
extension should be carried on in the same
way, instead of on the lines Of border forti
tications, custom houses, smugglers and
war ships. There should be the same I'M
checked freedom as between other sister
states. Canada is so situated that she
would gain by the union, and the only ones
seriously opposing would be those having
empty titles. Great Britain would also be
willing, owing to the added commercial I'D
vantages, but 10 matter what of opposition
should come, this country should at once
take the initiative towards politically unit
ing the two countries. 1t should not stop
until "E Pluribus Unum" was the motto of
all Canada, as we'll as this country, and the
American flag foated everywhere, from the
Rio Grande TO the Arctic.

to arrange basis for Newfoundland TO en-
ter the dominion, has been indefinitely
postponed. 1t is understood that the strain

caused all the irritation, the colony would
not suffer from any retaliation the presi-

not withdraw on that account.

PROF. PROCTOR DEAD.
The Great Scientist Victim of yellow
Fever.

Prof. Richard A. Proctor, the great as
tTonomer and lecturer, died in the Willard
Parker private hospital in New York, OF
yellow fever, few days ago.
He arrived from Florida few days be-
fore He complained OF feeling unwell
but thought his illness nothing more seri-
Gus than malaria. He grew worse, and died
in great agony, his death being preceded
by slight commissions and the black vomit
of the yellow fever.
Richard Anthony Proctor was born IN
Chelsea, England, March %, 1887. He was
taught at home until his eleventh year, and
then entered an academy, where he re-
manned three years and became head boy
of the institution. After the death OF his
father, in 1850, tho family became much
embarrassed financially through chancery
delays in friendly suit In 1854 young
Proctor accepted a position in a London
bank and devoted all his spare moments to
mathematics. In 1856, the situation having
improved, he entered Kings college, Lon
don, and in 1856 st. Johns college, Cam
bridge. He took his degree in 1860, and
married in the same year. For the next
three years his studies were mostly histor-
ical and literary. In 1868 he wrote an es-
say on Double Stars" and in 1865 he pub
lished a monologue on Saturn, and In 1866 his
"Guomonic Star Atlas" and Handbook OF
the Stars" These works were Of a scion
tihc but not popular nature. Ia 1866 a Lon.
of his fortune. and his scientific work was
considerably hampered by duties arising
from this circumstance. In 1869 he made
some suggestions TO the astronomer royal
as to the best methods OF observing the
approaching transit of Venus, and at a
meeting Of the principal astronomers of
England his views were unanimously APP
proved. But his chief scientific work since
1867 has consisted in the investigation of
evidence available for determining the
structure of the stellar and nebular uni
verse. In 1870 Mr.. Proctor published a
work entitled "Other Worlds than Ours,p
which had an extraordinary success and
attracted general attention from the scien-
tfc world From that time he has been
perhaps the most fertile and popular writer
upon astronomical subjects Of the present
day. He visited America in 1873, delivering
lectures in the United States, and again in
1875. Prof. Proctor had resided almost en-
tirely in the United States for Il number Of
years, having married n st. Joseph, Mo,
lady. His published books comprise large
list almost entirely on astronomical sub
tects.
