The Irresistible FULLER boom has made
its way from Mnnkato and Minneapolis as
far east and south as Chicago. In last
weeks America we find a double-page car.

One more young lady would have enabled
the campaign artists to depict the Mankato
Nine Muses.; but the deficiency Is OF no
great political consequence. Everybody
knows that the ninth Muse. EUTERPE, god

singing festive songs for nigh forty years.
The same Chicago journal contains spir.

ending as follows:

FULLER movement. THOR efforts arc good
natured and well meant and thus far limo
