JOHN A. LOGAN Jr. refused the request of
the Halstead club. of Cincinnati, for his
fathers portrait to adorn the club rooms on
the occasion of celebrating Mr.. HALsTEAD's
sixtieth birthday. The boy has the spunk of
his daddy. When Gen. LOGAN was on his
deathbed Mr.. HALsTEAD abused him out
rageously because he had once refused to
vote as HALsTEAD wanted him. 1t was a
cheeky thing now to ask the aid of Gen.
LoGAN's portrait to help HALsTEAD in his
senatorial canvass.

'sSee here, auntie, how do you pronounce
d-os' asked a st. Anthony hill miss, who had
been busy brushing up for a resumption of
her high school studies. The old lady glanced
over her speetacles at the inquisitive girl,
and gave the word the regular New England
pronunciation. Then how do you pro-
nouncs de w:' inquired the young lady. The
pronunciation was also given according to
the tradition of the Pilgrim fathers. well,

Persons who imagine that Gov. MERRIA
is too much of an aristocrat to be a good
mixer deceive themselves. One days OBJ
servation of his movements at a county fair
would convince any one of that mistake.
His head has not been swelled a particle by
his elevation to office. but on the contrary it
seems to have given him the opportunity to
display the genial side of his nature. Before
he went into politics he was so much alb
sorbed in business affairs that the public had
but little opportunity to judge of his social
qualities. Now that he is al the helm of
state and brought in daily contact with all
classes of people, his tact and democratic
behav Tor are a marvel to the old politicians.
He can shake hands with more people in one
day, and in a magnetic way. too, than any
governor the state has ever had.

THERE is a dispute between Michigan
and Wisconsin authorities as to which
is entitled to the captured stage and
railway robber. His last exploit, in
which he fatally shot a traveller, was in
Michigan, and that state wants to hold
him. But most of his crimes were
committed in Wisconsin. As Michigan
doesn't hang people, the proper way.
evidently, is to let the Wisconsin au-
thOrities first hang him. and then Mich
fgan can look up its grievances.

The organ of the First Baptist church
has been largely remodeled and is now
the finest instrument of the kind to be
found anywhere in the Northwest. The
improvements consist in the substitution
of large pipes for those formerly, the
result being that the volume of sound
has increased twofold.
The large organ ordered from the
celebrated organ builder Roosevelt. of
