NOTE AND COMMENT.

There were some features of the
Harvest Festival that seem to have
escaped general notice. Among them
may be mentioned the little exchange
of repartee between Col. w. S. King
and the junior senator from Minnesota.
1t occurred on the reviewing stand at
Tenth street and Nicollet and was over
in moment, but it was pregnant with
suggestion. Col. King was doing his
best to keep up the enthusiasm
by proposing three cheers for every
body and everything that passed the
stand. He made a good deal of noise,
but it was good-natnred noise and
every one on the stand enjoyed 1t, or
seemed to. The junior senator started
to chide ''Old Thaumaturgus' for max
ing too much noise. Then there were
few quickly and emphatically spoken
words about good thing for the state
of Minnesota" if some one had, OH GER
tain occasions made more noise in the
halls of congress instead of being lost
to sight" Col. King continued to call
for cheers.
Another feature of the parade that
might be mentioned was the entire alb
Sence of any sort of float bearing the
name of the PlllSbury- WaShburn Mill
ing company. There was no float with
that name on it nor any apology for it's
non-appearance, The supposedly most
extensive business in Minneapolis was
not represented.
Another feature of the parade did not
appear till the next morning. This was
the Times excellent cut of the line of
floats coming down, not up. Nicollet
avenue.
Still another feature has not appeared
at all yet. That is the competition for
prizes for the best displays from the diff
ferent states of the Northwest.
There are some customs peculiar to
the stage that seem to have no excuse
for existence. No one has ever ex-
planned why they do exist and probably
no one ever will. A case in point: Why
is 1t that it is always deemed necessary
to depict the young man who seems no
good for anything but smoking cigar
cites and getting in the way of people
with some sense as youth with hair of
the lightest blonde? And it is almost
Invariably the case that this hair is
made the most impossible blonde,
such hair as was never seen off
dummy in hair store. Is it
popularity supposed that the blonde
haired young man is no good? Cases
might be cited of men with sunburned
locks that have proven themselves most
potent in their particular line, Robert
Fitzsimmons for instance. There are
just as many black-haired men and
brOwn-haired men and red-haired men
who are misfits as there are delicate
blondes. The old idea that the villain
must always smoke cigarette has been
shattered. Make another change, gen
tlemen of the stage, and give us one
dark-haired nincompoop.
Charles Nee. Reeve has been quoted
as saying that he would inquire about
the space that the city of Minneapolis
can secure at the worlds fair for max
ing municipal exhibit. A few weeks.
or months ago when Maj. Reeve was
lnduStriouSly denying every statement
concerning the worlds fair that was not
printed as direct quotation from Mai
G. Nice. Reeve the GLOBE said that
the leading men of Minneapolis were
planning to make a municipal exhibit
at Chicago. AT that time the doughty
warrior Laughed at the idea" Men
and minds do change.
The Spectator, IN noticing a dinner
party that occurred early last week,
| SAYS, Those making 1t up were ali
| members of the bridal party, except
--, who was 'unavoidably pres
emit" That. young man must feel that
his society is enjoyable.
| A bright young man who allows shoe
| firm to put him on exhibition in its
down town store was discovered the
other evening coming down the front
| steps of a Tenth street mansion in the
| attitude known as walking Spanish -
| He declared that no misunderstanding
with the young lady's father had any
| thing to do with it. He had acquired
the habit of walking in that manner
from hearing so much Spanish music at
the Exposition.
The other morning the Times. in
quoting certain prominent citizen,
made him say "have came" and eX-
cused it by saying that the gentleman in
| question "has began taking lessons
from Col. Glenn" Now the question
arises, who is welding the rattan in the
Times private school?
To the Business Mems Unien = Get
| hold of Sarah Bernhardt and fatten hel
on No. hare. 1t would be the greatest
advertisement the Northwest ever re-
ceived.
Frank Elliot is certain that the Ameri
can Association will never make con
cessions to the League. The bosses o.
the Western Association were certain
three months ago that the Western As
ISOLATION would finish the season.
