The Merry Milkman's Daily
Round Dis
cuSSed.
The City-Bred Individuals
Idea Of the Dairy--From
Books.
The Milkman as He Really Is,
With Milk on His
Boots.
A Necessary Adjunct to Civil
ization, but Will Bear
Watching.

The evolution of the milkman is
subject that might we'll employ por-
ton of the earnest thought of our agri-
cultural colleges which is now devoted
to the study of logarithms and cattle
itch. To be sure the mllkman as at
present constituted concerns more near
ly the city than the country. The free,
glad air of the country seldom invigor-
ates his lungs, brushes his wavy hair
back from his brow, or sings way
down upon the Suanee River through
his chincilla beard. He never communes
with nature in her visible forms. not
not even in the form of a COW.
He never goes joyously afield,
hoe in hand, to cultivate
his early rising quart measures. He
confines his gardening to watering his
Seeding creams and renOvating his
Rembrandt pump. This is the popular
ideal of the milkman. The city man
never thinks to connect him with the
nourishing of cows, the rearing of long
legged calves. or imagines him in the
cool of the evening sitting under his
own vine and fig tree reading aloud the
words of the poet on the lowing kline"
That is not the kind of fellow he is.
The city man figures the milkman as
the owner of an abnormal pump
and series of graduated cans.
He sees him. in Imagination,
throwing chalk and cream of tartar

cost from $1,000 TO 5000 and any num-
Der OF them that are valued at $500 to
$500. Some idea of the extent of the
soda business can be gained from the
cost OF these fountains.
"A man can't afford to run $1,000
soda fountain unless he is selling some
Soda" remarked a Hennepin avenue
druggist. There is one man in this
city who must sell $500 worth of
sweetened wind in a single day some
times. By the way he added. that
'sweetened wind gag is rather whis-
pered now for people wont pay for
bubbles any more, they want syrup and
soda and they are going to have it.
Dealers in summer drinks don't de-
pend on women and children for their
principal patronage, as was formerly
the case. Everybody drinks soda. egg
phosphate, orange cider, sherbet, etc.,
and all kinds of faces fitted into all
kinds of glasses may be seen III front of
the marble counters of the soda foun
tains or at the drinking bars at any
time of the day. The bad actor contin-
ues to sip absinthe and whisky. the
newsboy PUSHES into the drug store or
liquid refectory for lemonade, while
Patrick leaves his dray outside and calls
for ''whishkey," and The hardy Teuton
sits half day over mug of beer as he
did hundred years ago.

it might be that was disturbing him in
his pursuit of the picturesque.
AS his face came in view it revealed
the prominent citizen to be no less
parsonage than member OF the board
of trade, man who makes the cIty'S
interest his interest, and who has be-
come fairly we'll known in his identlf-
cation Of himself with the public veal.
He had driven along the boulevard On
the beautiful south side of the lake past
the officer only few minutes before,
his wife by his side, passing, among
other objects Of the landscape garden,
the very conspicuous post, bearing the
park ordinances, and close by It's SIDE,
in unmistakable letters, Don't break
the trees, shrubs or plants.'' And yet,
within twenty yards of this reminder,
partially hidden from view by a curve
in the winding driveway, he had
stopped his horse and touched the for
bidder fruit. 1t might have been his
wife who induced him to be law
breaker: undoubtedly it was: it is the
Ewes that have been the transgressors
and ''raisers of Cain" ever since the
first one.

"Ghe deuce you say! So man can't
pick wild flowers out here in the coun-

mo, he cannot. Didn't you see that
sign just there at the corner?'
Eyes, of course l saw it. But didn't
suppose it meant anything"
''Weil. it does mean just what 1T says.
The parkway would be ruined in an
hour if every person now on it should
gather what you have gathered"
II guess that's about So" said the
prominent citizen, as he was suffered to
get into his carriage with his plumber
and drive away.
''That is another specimen of flower
thief" said the policeman. as he dis

have been after the women so much to-
day that it goes rather new to have to

cases at least to-day of well-dressed
women and girls breaking that law. A
good many of them do not know that it
is against the law to pick the flowers
out here. but the most of them do, and
know they're stealing every time they
take a flower. 1t seems the women
can't leave the flowers alone"

is good sample of it." Following the

Minneapolis people. whose most reck-

secret to those who drink them, and the

drinks than cider and lemonade, but 1t
is doubtful if any one man knows Of
more than half the hot weather bever-

ones every year. The styles in drinks
change as they do in hats and dresses,

"My dear madam, you must not pluck
the flowers in this park
swell, sir, l just think l have as
much right to these flowers as anybody.
and l am going to have bouquet. too"
Every well: if you insist l must take
you to the municipal court as law
breaker. So come on"
"Oh! you mean thing! take your ole
flowers! I've got plenty of them at
home, anyhow, and Eli never come into
your old park again! never. So there,
now." and the irate daughter OF Eve
gathered her skirts into good walking
order and marched out of the park. be-
speaking her wounded feelings i'll every
step.
There are five mounted policemen and
park, and their most arduous duty is to
protect that clause of the park Ordl-
nance which reads: ''Section 8. No
person or persons shall cut, break or in
any way injure or deface any tree. shrub
or plant upon or within any or either OF
the parks or parkways."
At the close of the park ordinance
printed on the green cards displayed IN
every park are the words: ANY per-
son who shall violate any provision of
this ordinance shall on conviction
thereof, before the municipal court OF,
the city of Minneapolis, be punished by
fne of not more than SIS and costs.
and in default of payment thereof, shall
he imprisoned until such fines are paid,
not exceeding ninety days."
Now, there is the law in black and
white. 1t is just as much law and car
ries a penalty the same as any other:
but every day in the different parks of
the city. otherwise law-abiding people,
eminehtly respectable, break it and the
eighth commandment, and often justify
themselves with: ''Well. it's only one
flower and there are hundreds. and no
one will know the difference" 1t is a
law which cannot be dealt with imper-
atively owing to the character of the
offenders, and often reprimand from
the police must suffice when more rig
orous punishment is deserved. But it
is just as great offense against the pub
lie as many worse thought-of acts of
law desecraiion. as every flower stolen
robs hundreds of its beauty.

for the wife of Senator Stamford, of

Knights OF Sherwood Forest to
Convene Here.
Flour City members of the order of
Knights of Sherwood Forest are very
busy making arrangements for the enter
tainment of the 5000 or more delegates
to the supreme conclave of the world,
which is to be held here, beginning
Aug. 10, and lasting a week or more.
1t is expected that the visitors
who are not regular delegates will be
more than a thousand strong, and al
together the gathering will be one of
the largest of the kind ever held in the
Northwest. The programme as laid out
includes competitive drill, grand parade,
excursion to Minnetonka. and banquet.
For some years past there has been a
fight between the American and English
branches of the order over the fact that
the supreme lodge in England overruled
the objection made by American knights
to the admission of coIored lodges in
the South. and it is expected that the
conclave here will result in a separate
