SAINT PAUL.
CHIT CHAT CORNER.

Two men met on Seventh street yes
terday afternoon, and both suffered
from an impeachment in their speech.
They were ignorant of each others III
trinity, and the following collOquy en-
sued: "W-w-where's ROsabel S.
street," asked one man. The other re-
sponded: "D-d-don't m-m-mock
me-" receiving as a retort: 'W-w-
who is m-m-mocking you" Their
gerticulatiops and excitement were
something ridiculous to behold, and in
creased to an alarming extent with the
heat of the discussion. The kindly III
reference Of bystanders, however, pre-
vented them from resorting to blows.

If there is one thing more than an
other a man is not likely to forget, it is
the name OF the individual who has
secured the loan of quarter. But. as
there are said to be exceptions to every
rule, an exception TO this turned up yes
terday ia the form of a barber. The
knight Of the lather was buSily engaged
performing the necessary ablutiOns on
the face of a poor, suffering mortal,
when a fellow employee twitted him in
this strain: JOE, remember that fellow
who owes you a quaTter? JOE didn't
know. That fellow from the lake,
persisted his interrogation. Still JOE
affected ignorance. so his tormentOr
added: ''Why, JOE, it was him that did
you out of your girl" JOE colored up
to the roots of his hair, and loud
laugh from those present greeted the
fact that joe remembered"

Private service in the regular army is
far from pleasant employment. and the
prevailing opinion seems to be that no
man JONES the service until life is no
longer a pleasure, and the isolated
military post in the far West is wei
come retreat from the cares of the
world. While in the Office of Capt.
Frank d. Garritty, of the recruiting
service, yesterday, a GLOBE representa-
tive encountered a man, however, who
is an exception to the general rule, and
for whom the life of a soldier has
peculiar charm. The man was Sergt.
Richard p. Hanley. who had just
dlllNtu III Cl. dlll HUH MOlldlld W tll-
list for the seventh time in the service.
He had with him six honorable dis
charges, five from the regular army and
one from volunteer service in the Sew
enth Kentucky cavalry. He served in
G troop of the Seventh cavalry dur
ing the Custer fight and was awarded
medal from congress for gallantry on
fhn EaTl haf ON
re-enlistment yesterday he was ordered
to report to this regiment, though it is
said he will not findin the troop a single
soldier with whom he fought during the
campaign of the Big Horn. This will
probably be his last enlistment, as he
will soon be entitled to position on the
retired list.

There lives in st. Paul a gentleman
Who has graced the matrimonial shrine
about as often as the average society
man can boast. TWenty-Seven trinkets
commemorate as many occasions where
he has served in the capacity of best
man, some of which were at the mar
riages of distinguished men and women
throughout England and Canada. He
also helped" several prominent men in
New York city and Chicago. Although
he has notso many scarf pins as Creigh-
ton Webb, what he lacks in numbers
will equal those of Mr.. Webb in the
prominence of the events in which he
performed such high Office. st. Paul
can pride herself as having the ''neXt
best man" to Mr.. Webb this side of New
York.
"Dakota would, if admitted, go Dem
ocratic without doubt" said Henry NJ.
Rubel at the Ryan last evening. You
see | am in position to know, and al
ways try to keep pretty firm grasp on
the political pulse. DakOtianS are very
much dissatisfied over the local option
laws, and would, if given the oppor-
tunity, bolt the Republican party and
ally themselves with the opposition.
Let her be admitted by all means, and
then you will see both North and South
Dakota roll into line and be counted as
asure state along with the Solid South"
