They don't have them for all the seasons.
And nature seemed TO smile with JOY,
The sun to warm the budding grasses
When Johnny Barnes came into town:
CTS ten to one, he came on passes.)
Old Sol perceived him with his grip.
The iciness John brought subdued him.
He laid himself up for repairs,
And John and winter straight pursued
him.
Attorney f. w. Booth, the silver,
tongued orator, has recently remodeled
his whiSkers, out of respect to the APP.
proach of the ice cream season, ana
now looks like Gov. Merriam, tnree-
quarters size.
Coroner Towers has arranged to dis
continue all private business after the
1st of April. A cooking school is TO De
started here, and the coroner anticl-
pates being kept busy on official work.
Many ills have fallen to the lot of
Minneapolis lately, but from present
indications the worst is yet to come.
The Journal has perfected arrange
ments for laying in large supply OF
spring poetry, which will be sprung at
intervals upon patient and long-suf-
fering public. Then, indeed, will the
exodus begin and the vacancies IN the
city directory become too numerous 10
mention. But what if the community
does suffer? The successful competitor
IN versifcation will receive the munlh-
cent prize of s., and thus will matters
be evened up.
One of the local base ball managers
had rude joke played upon MIN by
one of his partners yesterday: Inc
in
pair of spring trousers or the laleSG
improved pattern, and the joke con-
sisted in pinning upon their ample
breadths a card bearing the inscription,
"Hapd-Painted." The sufferer walked
down the street, leaving a tidal wave OF
smiles behind him.
General Manager Regain has made
Henry Hach liberal offer for the privl-
Iege of exhibiting his hand-painted
trousers at the forthcoming exposition.
1t is believed that the reason there
was not a larger attendance at the
library Monday evening to listen to
Prof Waters lecture is the extreme
facility with which colds may be con-
tracted at this season of the year.
John CalderWoOd will consent to the
purchase of new city hail flag, it is
understood, with the hope that it Will
have the same effect on the Il. u II.
council as it would waved in front of
railroad train.
Hereafter when you hear one alder
mau say to another "Fish house punch"
followed by sundry winks and nudges,
do not get too inquisitive. 1t is merely
the sign of new secret order organized
among the aldermen.
The grand jury in New York has
characterized the sheritf's office as
disgrace to the city, and thereby shows
commendable nerve. There have been
times within the past year when such
all attitude toward municipal affairs IN
Minneapolis would have been much
appreciated step.
There seems to he just little rivalry
between the several North Dakota rep
reSentativeS who are now canVaSSlng
this charitable part of the country for
assistance for the farmers in purchasing
seed wheat. Some of the Dakota repre-
sentatives hint that the Helgerson party
is only working up little boom for 1t
self by this action, in other words, pos
ing as the men who are doing every
GlllQg Ill pOWGl lOl IllC 1ohOUu
riculturist. If it be true, it simply
proves that Helgerson ct al. are pretty
smooth politicians and are taking adj
vantage of their opportunities IN
commendable style.
Leaving the boom question out of con-
sideration, it is certainly difficult for
the person of average intellect to dis
cover just where the charity comes
in, in this seed matter. The wheat, the
purchase price of which is to be guar
anteed by the fund now being raised in
Minneapolis, will cost the farmerSl per
VatOr men for 60 cents bushel,
and is now sold at a profit
of 40 cents, less storage, handling
and interest. Payment for it will be
secured by a claim upon the crop, to
the exclusion of all other debts which
the farmer may owe. He must pay for
this wheat and let every other creditor
the butcher, the baker, the candle
whistle. A North Dakota
man said yesterday: ut looks good
like making the farmer dishonest against
his will" While it may not be quite SO
bad as that, yet charity seems to have
very little to do with it.
Bob Evans threatens to go to Wash
ington and completely annihilate the
senate of the United States for pOstpon-
ing the worlds fair until 1898. He con-
siders it a direct challenge to his con-
yention scheme for Minneapolis.
Despite the fact that the Christian
Endeavor union sets great store by the
lookout committee, the efforts OF such a
committee are not always appreciated.
One young man was fined 500 last Sat
urday for acting as lookout COM
mittee.
1t is generally conceded that the al
dermen who went up to inspect the new
pumping station at Single creek
learned very little about water up there,
after all their trouble.
Pat Kelly, who figured in the NUM-
cipal court yesterday, is thinking of re-
moving to Chicago. He understands
that dealers in pork, blind OF otherwise,
practically own that town.
AN EASTERN TRIP
Will Probably Be Arranged for
Adolph Grethen.
DR.. Kilbourne, superintendent of the
asylum at Rochester, sent for Anton
Grethen, the father of the young violin
ist. and the two had consultation at
Rochester yesterday. The doctor is an
old friend of the Grethen family, and
