It's dangerous to be an alderman IN
these DAYS of rumors of Doodle. When
Aid. Vanderwaker appointed pound
master, disappointed candidate re-
marked. lit must have cost about S5O."
The next man who repeated the re-
mark had it that Vanderwaker had ac-
tuallv received $50 for the appointments.
In the course of time the matter came
before the grand jury, and poor Van
derWaker found his name included In
the newspaper lists OF suspects" The
matter was easily explained, and the re-
port shown to be false, but the "Web-
ster of the council'' has suffered no end
of annoyance from the way in which
his name has been jostled around by
papers.
There is something wonderful in the
patience and forbearance of the average
multitude that will sit calmly in the
cold spring air and watch the husky
ball players chasing leather through a
long two hours; but dare to side with the
umpire On close decision against the
home team and they will rise IN their
wrath and make the immediate vicinity
warm with their roasts.
There is TO be six days go-as-you-
club in the near future, in which the
clubs three professionals will be barred.
Odds are three to one on o. E. Remey,
who is probably the best slayer among
the ameteurS. There was some trouble
in getting Frank Cotharm to agree to
furnish the pie, but an indemnity bond
was furnished him, and the race will go
OH as advertised.
The bald-headed eagle that was re-
ceived by the base ball management has
been placed in the ball park as a mas
cot. The other day youth who had
some aspirations to that position HIM
self began to take improper liberties
with his eagleship, in malicious spirit
of revenge, and the bird at once took
large handful out of the youths cloth
ing. Now the aforesaid youth carries
large patch in the most convenient
place to serve as a cushion. 1t is too
early in the season to find flies on the
great American bird.
Some unkind enemy of one of the
local team team of ball players,
sent to his home copy of the
Pioneer Press containing the Gel
ebrated gallery of facial contor-
tionS, and straightway a letter came,
asking that he come home at once from
place where the climate interferred
so much with the contour OF the human
face. Another received notice from his
sweetheart that everything was off. and
the engagement didn't go. She didn't
bargain for chrome.
A member of the Fat Mems Club
company met another OIL NicOllet av-
enue on Tuesday morning. "HaVe you
seen the papers?" he asked. mo, what
do they say?" "They say that one of
the company is museum freak. |

teacher of voice culture, whose round,
full and vibrating baSso voice is ad-
mired by ali who have heard him.
Sometimes the squeaking of the violin
makes !ife miserable TO the latter, and
he seats himself at the piano and sings
a selection or two from Faust. Of course
the fiddle stands no more show than
jeWSharp in a cyclone, and the CremOna
is taid on the shelf for the time being,
while the other professor tears his hair
in an ecstacy of misery.
The summer approacheth, the grasses
begin to bud, and soon the leaves will
begin to burst from the trees, blossoms
will blow, the air will be filled with the
voice of birds and the industrious bee
will begin on its summer contract,
while the broad Mississippi will loosen
its icy bonds and assume its annual
duty of carrying the usual supply of
saWdust down toward st. Paul, and the
usual syndicate will be formed between
the street sprinkler and the festive
bOOtblack.
1t is rumored that Rev. Joseph Cook,
the eminent orator, will remain in
Minneapolis to investigate the Doodle
investigator. with the object of writing
it up in one of his caustic speeches, as a
warning to the public of the Union

damnation bow-wowS.
