Personated a King.

"The late Congressman Burnes,"
said a we'll known politician to a
Journal reporter, "was whole-souled
gentleman, and no one enjoyed a joke
better than he. One instance Of this
was impressed upon my memory.
Some years ago, you will remember,
King Kalakaua, of the Sandwich
Islands, made tour of this country.
He came down from Omaha to Kansas
City, and at st. Joseph the crowd was
joined by Congressman Burnes, for
whom the monarch at once conceived
a strong admiration, both on account
of his size and jovial qualities. At
Kansas City King Kalakua was book
ed for speech, and very brief but
excellent one had been prepared.
An unforeseen obstacle to compliance
with this programme arose, however.
AS every one knows the dark skinned
potentate is addicted to the variety of
cup that cheers and also inebriates,
and the result was that when the time
arrived to prepare for the Kansas City
speech his highness was obliyious to
all munade affairs, and lay in his
berth as drunk as the proverbial
speciman of nobility.
"What was to be done? 1t would
not do to make the speech and the
royal party were at their wits end.
But at this juncture Congressman
Burnes came to the rescue. Leave it
to me- said he, 'and I'll fix it-only
do as l tell you."
"There was no time to be lost, so
by Col. Burnes' instructions Kalakaua
was quickly divested of his royal cos
tune, which was promptly donned by
the big Missouri representative. Col.
Barnes was of dark complexion, quite
so, and he didn't make a half-bad
Sandwich Islander when he stood
arrayed in all the paraphernalia.
Just as the toilet was completed the
train rolled into the depot at Kansas
City. 1t was quite dark, but there
was an immense crowd of people who
had assembled to see the island mon
arch. When Col. Burnes stepped
with stately tread on the rear platform
of the Pullman the crowd outside
cheered Justify. The colonel cast a
fierce look at the multitude and then
commenced to utter the most remark
able string of jargon ever heard.
Laugh? We all laughed until we
were almost dead, but Col. Burnes re.
mained as solemn as an owl. The
speech took immensely, and when with
dignified wave of the hand the col
onel ceased his audience cheered him
to the echo and gazed with admira-
ton at the manly proportions of the
supposed king.
I'm majestic silence Col. Burnes
stood until moment or two later the
train pulled out and l suppose there
are people here to this day who firm
lv believe they heard King Kalakaua
talk in his own language. I'll never
forget" concluded the gentleman,
"Col. Burnes' appearance on that
occasion, and | can see him now, when,
after re-enterlng the car and sitting in
solemn silence for a moment, he turn
ed to his laughing friends and said:
Boys, don't you think after that I'm
entitled to drink ?"-Kansas City

ing funds for an exhibit that will re-
fleet credit upon them.
In order that Minnesota may take
her proper place among her sister
states, it is necessary that the extra
100000 be raised And that the site
assigned to our state be held, and
plans for the work properly
made it is absolutely necessary
that every dollar of it be secured by
the first day of January, 1892. One
man can not visit every county that
has failed to respond to the commits
sioners' appeal, therefore the public
spirited citizens of these counties
should take steps at once and so help
close the matter up before the new
year opens, and thus provide the way
for proper representation of the
state. Ramsey and Hennepin cOun-
ties have their quotas nearly raised
and will complete them in a few days.
Other counties that seem to labor
under the impression that there is
some hitch in the matter with those
two counties, can rest assured that
unless Ramsey and Hennepin come to
the front with theirshare, the remain
ing counties will not be called upon
for dollar of theirs.
This gathering Of the nations of
the world is the chance of lifetime
to place our great advantages, as
state, before the people of the globe,
and it behooves every patriotic citizen
of the state to put his shoulder to the
wheel and see to it that it is not a
failure.

THE Minneapolis Times thinks that
the present House has made great
point because it adopted the rules of
the Fiftieth congress, instead of those
of the Fifty-flrst, to be governed by
until it's committee on rules shall re-
port. Having a two-thirds majority,
it never ought to be troubled about
not having a quorum, hence, it will
have no use for rule allowing the
counting Of those present and not
voting in order to transact bushes.
Had the Democratic ma ority been only
three or four they would very likely
have followed in the footsteps Of the
last congress.
