CORNERED SEVEN DAYS.
"OXford Hash" Tells of the Fun
the Bows Had at Howard, Oak.

Landlord Mckee, at Howard. Oak.
turned his house over to the boys that
were detained there by the storm. One
would have imagined himself attending
a musical festival, bringing out all the
different characteristics of Irish,
DeutSche, negro, etc, to say nothing
about the grand representations of
Henry Irving by the Knights OF the
Grip who were unfortunate by being
Snow-bound for seven days. Too much
cannot be said of the kind and eeurte-
Gus treatment received by the boy from
Mac. as he is Familiarity called. who
gave them full sway in the Wheeler
house, and which kindness was fully
appreciated.
VIII L. Peil, repreS anting Kinney &
Co, perfumers, Chicago, was one to be
detained here. Will says that sauint
essence OF squirt drops goes little
slow just after the holidays, and that it
is quantity, not quality, that they want
in Dakota. Will isn't very tall, but let
him get hold of the merchant, and he
will come out smiling every time. But
the boys think that as a delineator of
the negro he takes the plum. We ex-
peet to hear Of him joining Thatcher,
Primrose d Vests minstrel troupe i'm
the spring. For high kicking Charlie.
the genial clerk of the Wheeler house,
can knock flies off the ceiling without
taking back seat
j. Il. Caldwell, representing Priede-
man IL Lewis, dropped in here Wednes-
day evening with his down-East smile
spread all over his countenance. The
title of doctor has been bestowed upon
| him. Doc is hummer as cracker
man, and takes large orders. We fear
he missed his calling. Just ask him to
give you an representation of Henry
Irving.
A. d. 3ubb is one of the boys that
made money enough to quit the road.
and is now located at Howard, loaning
cent per month. A. ID. goes East this
week to Pennsylvania. He is one of
the finest looking men in Southern Da-
fOta. We are wondering if he intends
returning with partner of the oppo-
site sex.
Ed Relnkeklng began to grow ''leary as
Saturday came upon him. his heart was
set upon reaching st. Paul by Satur-
day. There must be an attraction that
made Ed long to spend Sunday in the
SANITY City. Ed had plenty of time at
Villas, and, no doubt, took many and
large orders for groceries, as the store
supplies had about exhauSed on Satur-
day. Good times over there, no doubt.
Frank S. Wells is one of the unfortu-
mates that got seven days here. Franks
a rustler, and disiikes spending the
firms money lying idle. Ask him how
flax hay milk suits his digestive organs.
That article of diet must be scarce when
Frank has to resort to the bowie knife
to produce the tactical flied.

my little store of knowledge to help the

Among the new names registered
along the line last week was John

ing gentleman and we wish him luck
We are pleased to see our Old friend
John Lisk back again on the road. John
says two months in Tower is enough for
him, but he is booming Tower all the
same.
Most of the boys were snow-bound
last week and as rule put in the time
very pleasantly, although some of them
struck it pretty hard in the way of hotel
accommodations. 4.

was nothing less than skating match

A course was mapped out, eight laps to

the keepers never seemed to see what
was going on. The racers first seemed
baShful when the crowd cheered. but
after the first few laps they swung along

only three competitors were left. Four

were the preachers daughters. They

One brave girl has thrown her gaunt-
let down to ''Scottie," and reasonably
asks him to have his picture published
in the GLOBE, so she may get all idea
of how he looks before she gives him
her address. Now that the ice has been
broken, there are undoubtedly other
anxious females who will take adyant-
age of the leap year opportunity offered
by Seottie. Following is the communi-
cation sent in by the lady:
Mr.. Editor. In reply to ''Scottie's'
solicitations for bids, would answer like
true Yankee gill by asking if he would bid
Tor lady without knowing who she was,
what she looked like, whether old or young,
smart or otherwise!
Now, am all that any reasonable man
could desire III a woman, but am not going
to bid for ''Scottie' until his picture appears
in the GLOBE accompanied by a full deScrip-
ton of himself. If that is satisfactory, per
