The roster being completed, Col.
Irish was lifted to the rostrnm with a
derrick and announced that hereafter
Marchus of DewberIy rules would
govern the regiment, which he ordered
to form around the block, and stationed
400 policemen around the regiment to
keep bad boys from attacking them and
to see that none got away, as the colonel
said he was out of Subpenas and the
greatest dispatch was necessary to fc-
complish their end. Chaplain Slosher
was called upon to ask blessing, but
kicked because he feared it would rain.
In few well chosen words Col. Irish
reminded them what glorious future
there was in store for them, if not in
this world, in Minneapolis anyway. He
pictured the triumphs they would
achieve in land where there was neither
winter, nor summer, ncr anarchists.
Just then Commissary Col. Ruff Cistern
and E. Cocktail Harder got into a row
about pair of pants, and Surgeon
Whitfietree Sawneck Potatoes had to
separate them, severing the connection
with Ratchet, his fayorite surgical in
strument. Some one yelled out from
the rear rank and wanted to know
where the guns Were, and it occurred
to Col. Irish that in the rush and excite
ment they had been forgotten. So he
detached a squad of the most reliable
privates back to the armory and had
them load the munitions of war on
Capt. Lima Beams

While the regiment was standing
around ON Exchange street and frighten-

Among all the people at the White

THE NICKEL AND THE SLOT.

The trouble with the world has been
Our lives fly by too fast,
Each fellow sees there's more to win
In future than i'll past.
Our fathers missed the hello-phone,
The cable, and what not!
But the best is what's yet to be done
With the nickel and the slot.
In years from now when at the play
It's sure to come to pass
That stead of slipping DER the way
To snatch a cheering glass,
Well take our toddy III our seats
Served either cold or hot;
And that's but one great gain to come
By the nickel and the slot.
No more will ladies then complain
OF hats and dresses mussed,
For they may order lemonades
And bon-bons-till they bust,
And men in turn with perfect ease,
When women rue their lot.
Can buy divorces, if they please,
With the nickel and the slot.
Alas it seems that in all times
Regret to pleasure clings;
1.-THE fellows with the most half-dimes
VIII then, as now be kings.
The Schwabs and Mosts will still be here,
And not one of the lot
Will buy content-they'll all draw beer
With the nickel aud the slot.

over with eau de Nile plush, crimped,
folded and sguashed with panniers and
panels of gros grain ribbon and several
varieties of silk and embossed velvet,
ornamented with passamenterie of that
peculiar and beautiful shade known as
''memOry of lobster salad,' and having
a direetoire puff behind which gave the
t0urnure the effect of leg-0t-mutton
sail in a stiff breeze, or collapsed
balloon. She was elegant. Her orna-
meats were diamonds of suspicious
size and brilliancy, and she carried
bouquet of Susan B. Anthony roses, and
fan made of the tail. feathers of
last Thanksgiving turkey. 1t
was thought for several moments that
this couple would surely scoop the cake,
| especially as the young man wore
fringe to his trousers and had an en-
broidered shirt front, and as they passed
me. along with the Whit of patchOuly
and peppermint which came to my nos
trils, thought that l could sniff vic
tory. But, unfortunately. Just as they
we're nearing the goal. the excellent
young man thought he would add luster
tostheir success by trying what is known
in colored social circles as the "Minne-
sofa street hist" He tried it, and threw
his girl all out of gait. They broke just
as they were passing under the wire,
and their fate was sealed. Oh, if you
could have seen the look she gave him!
1t was enough to make a man contam-
plate suicide, or going to live III Min
neapolis.
The next couple was very present
able one, but they failed on account of
the mans attire. His necktie had risen
above his collar rebelliOusly. and
| seemed to have nefarious designs upon
hisneck. AS consequence he was
rather constrained in his attitude, and
the general effect was spoiled. His
trousers, too, had certain gibbosity
about the knees which was annoying,
and they wouldn't stay down about his
ankles. They were ambitious. so to
speak, and if not self-made, they were
at least DESTROYS of rising in the world.
Then dozen couples came in rapid
succession. Some were short and some
tall, some slim and some stout, but no
enthusiasm was manifested in their be-
half There was always something
lacking in the essentials to perfection.
Presently / grew conscious of a sup
pressed buzz of expectancy. Something
of some moment was about to happen.
After very tall young lady had pranced
down.the imbling ground with an eS-
cort who could walk under her out
stretched arm, there was slight pause.
while the hum of expectancy grew
louder. Every eye was fixed upon
| certain part OF the room. Presently,

Every one must have observed what
arc usually called the whiskers on a
cats upper lip, The use of these, in a
state of nature, is very important They
are organs OF touch. They are attached
to bed of close glands under the skin,
and each of these long hairs Is connected
with the nerves OF the lip. The slightest
contact of these whiskers with any sur
rounding object is thus felt most dis
tinctly by the animal, although the hairs
themselves are insensible. They stand
out on each side of the lion as we'll as IN
the common cat; so that, from point to
point, they are equal to the width Of the
animals body. II we imagine, there

wood in an imperfect light we shall Al

They indicate to him, through the incest
feeling. any obstacle which may present
itself to the passage Of his body; they
prevent the rustling Of boughs and
leaves, which would give warning to his
prey if he was to attempt to pass through
too close bush; and thus, in conjunction
with the soft cushions of his feet and the
fur upon which he treads 1.-THE claws never
coming in contact with the ground), they
enable him to move toward his victim
with stiffness even greater than that

grass and is not perceived until it L.
