The New Driving Park Soon to Be
Ready for Use.

Although. Minneapolis horsemen are
interested in the success of the State
Fair association and the Twin City Driv-
ing club, a great deal of interest has
been taken in the establishment of
local driving park. This much has been
indicated by the fact that R. F. Jones
succeeded in raising the $4,000 neces-
sary for the purchase and fitting up of
the sixty-acre tract which lies near the
motor line, at the conjunction of Mime

Nothing Succeeds Like Success

The popular railroad line of to-day is
the one whose trains arrive at their des-
tinations as promptly as they start for
them. In short, the line that lives up
to its published promises.
Such line is "The Northwestern
Line"-C., st. p, M. & o. Railway. 1t
is not matter for wonder that it carries
the great majority of the travellers be-
tween Minneapolis, st. Paul and Chi
cago. 1t is ably managed. Its train
service is reliable. Its equipment is not
excelled in the world. With palatial
sleepers, dining cars and splendid day
coaches and smooth track, the acme of
luxury, comfort and security is reached
by 1.-The Northwestern Line" and its
motto is, always on time"
The vestibuled train service on this
line, carrying all classes of passengers
and without any extra fare, is better
than any similar train service between
the older cities of the Atlantic coast,
and 1.-The Northwestern Line' is the
only line with the Pullman and Wagner
famous vistibuled train service between
the Twi n Cities and Chicago.

the dozens Of complimentary notices
given him by papers in every part Of
the State. (For which notices he de-
sires now to return his most heartfelt
thanks.) He did not 60 about the
county soliciting votes, but remained
in his ONCE and attended to his usual
duties. Neither did he hire anyone to
canvass the county in his interest.
He made also what might be called
q clean::fght. He did not give or prom
ise to give 30 much az . cigar to secure
any mans vote or his good will. He
did not throw an atom Of dirt. He did
not originate or give circulation to q
whisper of falsehood. He did not speak
. word concerning any of his competit-
ors that he would be ashamed to re-
peat 10 their presence.
And yet Of 700 Votes
cast at the primaries in the
various precincts, as nearly as can
be figured out, he secured 800, which
is los more than the number received
by his highest competitor, and which
lacks but few votes Of being clear
over all.
Which is why, although he will not
be nominated tomorrow, he does not
feel particularly Inundated.

THINGS HEnAYLIAM.

Having had considerable time fol
meditation since the pile driver drop
ped last Tuesday, we have taken oc-
casion to set down few of the things
that an observant man may learn on
his way through a political campaign.
He may learn
That politics is "mighty onsartin."
That friend in politics is a friend
indeed.
That the men he has oftenest helped
into Office are the ones that most
particularly object to giving him one.
That nod and wink are not al
ways as good as vote.
That it is his own friends who al.
ways stay away from the primaries,
and not the other fellows.
That however closely he may cling
to his own self respect he is mighty
apt 10 lose his grip on some of that
which he had for other people.
That one who has private grudge
to feed is never at loss to find reason
in public policy for feeding the said
grudge.
That nearly anybody can plan q
campaign-after it is over.
That one vote in the box is worth
several that might have been there
eff it had been thought necessary"
That when a battle has been lost
every soldier on the losing side knows
exactly how 1t might have been won
That "gentle peace" though carried
in both hands, does not always silence
"envious tongues"
That man who goes into politics il
in big luck if he takes with him .
clean conscience and q tranquil mind.
They are good things to fall back on.
