Lazy population maker,
Wandering through the streets, a-Weary.
Broken-hearted, lonesome, dreary!
While the city. so tbs stated,
Only halfas enumerated
Are they hidden in some alleyY
Or do they imbibing daily
Der bar, where soda water
Is doled out, six for a quarter?
Or was Davenport suspicious
That the town was too ambitious?
so took not the smallest trouble
And got it in a fearful middle,
When the people all united
And the dread mistake was righted.
So, though Edward ruin courted,
Minnie was not Davenported.
Just because Frank j. Mead is pre-
sumed to have remarked, as have hun
dreds of other Republican politicians.
that Benny Harrison is Chilly" some
widowed patriots think he should be
deprived of his position OF government
gauger at Minneapolis lone dlshllery.
Up to date it is not known whether MI.
Mead will slap himself three tunes on
his breast and cry in strldent tones II
this be treason make the most OF II" or
whether he will say that he never init
mated that Harrison is other than
warm hearted to effusiveness, and pas
sionately fond of flowers.
E. G. Potter remarks, concerning the
reported move to secure Minneapolis
delegation favorable to Knute Nelson
for governor as against Merriam: "What
is the use of a Hennepin county delega-
ton going down to st. Paul and attempt
ing to nominate man who cannot be
elect9d?' Well, there isn't much use OF
the Republicans putting themselves to
this trouble this year. Ihey should
take MIR POtter'S advice and StaV at
home.
Ed. Davenport seems to have become
cool toward the newspaper men whom
he was wont, few days ago. to fill up
on census gossip, simply because they
have stirred up the public to help out
the census Office. Eddie should come
off the perch. He has not been criticised
very severely, as it is, but shou Id the
census have been taken without word
being said about the manner of taking,
or should Minneapolis thereby have
SCOT the worst of it," it is safe to say
that the temperature in the Flour City
would have been altogether too sultry
for the dark-eyed gentleman OF the
raven wavin' locks. E. j. has had
most fortunate escape.
The water will probably not be turned
on in the improved canal at the mills
until after the millers' convention.
Much water will have to be used, it is
thought on the side during the week.
Capt. Dan Day has come back from a
fishing trip, but he didn't bring any fish
with him. He gets out of it by saying
that he couldn't charter freight at the
station where he stopped, and therefore
was obliged to leave his piscatorial &C
QuiSitiOnS behind.
The grocers last night met and talked
about sugar. 1t was not, however,
particularly sweet meeting.
One Hugh Boswell, of Montana, is
much enraged by the Eastern style of
robber la ''fiim-t1am." In Montana
they do it more genteelly. There is
always sign outside the door to give
warning.
The census must now take seat away
back near the door. The ball team has
arrived and "Have you been enumer-
ated?" will give place to whats the
scorer"
An evening paper devotes valuable
space to telling about banana barrel
What is needed in this country is an i'm

grow careless yet. The count has not
been finished. Ben Cole should be sent
out to Bethany home to name and
enumerate the baby found Saturday
night.
The Baker Opera company people
need TO do their best tonight. Because
the auditors will be composed of millers
it is not to be supposed that they have
dust in their eyes.
= Will E. Steele has Joined the Lurline
boat club. Hereafter the old proverb
will be paraphrased in Minneapolis to
read: 1T is as easy for Mayor Babb to
make a speech as for Maj. Steele to
attain the mayoralty through boat
club"
Mrs. Caroline Brown, census enumer-
ator, in reply to Aid. Phillips, says
that she didn't gossip two hours with
Mrs. Phillips, and that she had intend
ed to swat the Eleventh ward alder
man fright on the face" 1t is we'll
that she did not do the ''swatting," for
it would have been unjust. under the
circumstances. Aid. Phillips did not
say she gossiped two hours. He said
one and half hours.
The haste with which the street rail-
way company is putting Washington
avenue in shape for it's electric line is
alarming. The crop of grass that is
growing between the piled up rails will
be ready to NOW in a short time, and
seal4d bids for new hay will be in Or
der.
One of the nuisances at ball game is
the crowd of Minneapolis juveniles who
crowd the walk for block from the en-
trance and importune each approaching
man to give them nickel to get in to
see the game. 1t is annoying and prob
ably cannot be prevented. The worst
of it is that many of these boys are we'll
dressed and evidently belong to the bet
ter class of families. They would scorn
to beg for any other object, but the at
fractions of ball game are too great to
resist even that.
Once more the ball team is home
from abroad, and the gloom has disap-
peared from the faces of the jewellers in
the Flour City. Again are their faces
wredthed in smiles, business has taken
up its avocation at the old stand, the
small boy practices in back alleys, the
ball crank gets out his Spalding's
guide, and the world moves on apace.

only the old feeling of utter despair re-

that there is something to live for yet,
for all is not rotten in Denmark.
