THAT $500 CHECK.
Mayor Ames Was not Explicit
Enough, That Was All.

The true inwardness of that famous
$500 check T. H. Kelly gave to Mayor
Ames, never came out. 1t will be re-
membered that Mayor Ames denied
that Mr.. Kelly ever gave him dollar
for his campaign expenses, whereupon
Mr.. Kelly caused to be printed a fac
smile of a check for 500, signed
by himself, and drawn on the
mayors favor. This looked as though
the mayor had been conspicuOusly in
exact in his statements. However, it
he had been little more explicit and
had said that Mr.. Kelly never gave him
a dollar of his own money he would
have come out of the controversy in bet
ter style and would have been placed IN
more favorable light before the public.
1t seems that the Minneapolis Demo-
Gratis had raised $500 and placed it to
the credit of the state central commit
tee. Mr.. Kelly drew his check for 500,
and afterwards had the amount on de-
post to the credit OF the committee
transferred to his own account. SO he
virtually gave Mayor Ames the
$500 for his personal expenses
that the Minneapolis Democrats
had raised. The transaction hardly
amounted TO more than giving Ames
back his own money, as it was SUISSE
ouently spent in defraying his expenses
as the head of the ticket through the
state. and was the best investment IN
behalf of the party that could have
been paid. Further than that it simply
took the place of money that would have
had to be given for the same purpose,
but which was spent in another way.

stated the concern would realize
millions of dollars. The rights for
Ohio, New York and New England have
now been disposed of, and the receipts
have been in the neighbOrhood of $780,

SOME TALL RUNNING.
George Cooper Reels Off Few
Little Anecdotes.

George Cooper, the railroad veteran,
who officiates as baggage master on the
Milwaukee short line, the other night
listened impartially to Sam Burbank,
the conductor. who was telling GLOBE
reporter about a calf that ran
along beside "a mail train on
the day of the Democratic
barbecue from the Chestnut street
crossing to the Union depot at st. Paul.
''Call that running?" asked George
contemptuously. Nov, I'll tell you a
little story. When ! was firing on the
II. & ID. division ten years ago, jack
rabbit bounced out in frontof the engine
at Stewart and ran all the way
ahead of us TO Granite Falls,
distance of seventy miles. Didn't
seem to exert himself particularly
at all; he simply went. 1t didn't snow
that winter until December %, and the
prairie fires had made the ground black,
so we could see him all the way. He
looked like gray streak up the middle
of the track. When we went
up grade he took it kind
of easy, but when we would
let the steam out he'd lay his ears back
and stick his tail up and hump himself.
His tail was about all we could keep
track of him by. 1t looked like a sight
on an old-fashioned rifle. Talk about
that calf runaway; why, he went back
wards in comparison with that rabbit"
Nobody said word, and George con-
tinued with an air Of extreme aggrava-
zion.
"Why. horse ran across the short
line bridge once ahead of an express
train and never stumbled. Talk about
your calf! saw an express come into
Wabasha with pig on top of the bag
gage. car alive and frisky as could be-.
The catcher had struck him and
tossed him up there, and never hurt
him bit. Talk about your calf-''
But this last story had been sufficient,
and the audience disappeared into the
smoking car without waiting to hear
George tell how an engine once struck
COW and spattered milk all over Doc
Murphy, of st. Paul, who was riding in
the cab at the time. It's safe to bet no
one will attempt to tell another calf
story when George Cooper is around.
