UNDER the caption of "An Elk
planation," the Anoka Union I'M
dertakes to explain why its editor
was such a vigorous supporter of
W. R. Merriam in 1888, and why
the said editor is now so bitterly
opposed to Mr.. Merriam and his
methods. It is IAN explanation
that does not explain. The sum
and substance of Mr.. Pease's griev-
ance is that he requested Gov.
Merriam to appoint two men to
office, and, for good and sufficient
reasons, the governor did not see
tit to comply with the. Anoka edi-
tors request. Hence MI. Pease
has been disgruntled ever since.
MI. Pease is unreasonable. There
were probably one hundred editors
the writer was not one of them
who accorded Mr.. Merriam as
good support as he did in 1888.
Now, il each of these editors had
recommended two candidates for
office wouldn't the governor have
been in HI of a fix? There are
probably about score of Offices at
the executives disposaI-not one
quarter enough to 60 round. And
then the governor had other friends
and supporters besides editors. In
order that there may be no misun-
derstandlng, we quote Mr.. Pease's
own words, in explanation Of his
opposition to Gov. Merriam:
Merriam was elected and the editor,
OIL the Unaon foolishly, as it proued,
thought he had some little claim on the
newly elected magistrate, and was fool
hiardy enough to ask the appointment
OF two gentlemen to office. His wishes
were ignored in such a manner that ~
self-respect he could not but repudiate
the action, and from that time to this
The Union and it's editor has had il in
for w. r. Merriam.

all outdoors came an impression of peace
and quiet so deep and so different from the
noisy life of the city that it amounted to
positive disturbance. l ~couldn'tgo to sleep
again in the midst of that internal dead
calm. 1t was only half-past six, too early
to get up and to late to see the sui rise. I
tossed about nervously, missing the sooth-
ing rumble of carts, the tinkle of bells on
the car horses, and the rush of elevated
trains.
The silence was maddening. imagined
that l could hear the clock ticking in the
parlor below. l closed my eyes and counted
a Thousand, but it was no use. The sad I'M
broken hush oppressed ME; an incubus of
quiet sat upon me with a weight that
smothered sleep. Maude, who had arisen
at some unearthly hour, looked on.

owned by Lemuel's brother Stephen, and
the third by another brother, Caleb. Their
relationship accounts for the clustering OF
the houses, and that, in turn, for the fact
that the brothers could never agree. Caleb
they are much closer togetber-so close in
deed that the shadow of q single small will
low covers them both. Some of Stephens
children have followed him to the grave,
and others, less discriminating, have gone
west, but Caleb has left a son to succeed

Young man whose acquaintance WAS the

1t was the morning of the day following
our installation. l had intended to get up

phenomenon proceeded so quietly that I

door steps there was nothing resembling a
sunrise except the head of Sydney Drew.
which appeared above the fence separating
my land from his. I gazed at it with an
admiration which l should never have be-
slowed upon the dawn. Sydney has by long
odds the handsomest hair in the world. 1t
is of a shade of red of which not even my
wife knows the NAME, and it's soft curls
cluster about an exceptionally we'll, shaped
head. But he is more ashamed of it than
if its possession were a capital crime. He
had nc soone noted my gaze than he pulled
a soft felt hat down as far as it would go
over his remarkable and rudy crown and
attempted to change the subject by whist
ling.
/ think his face is the product of his life
long shame. It's expression is q perpetual
apology to all creation. His big brown
eyes beg everybody to forgive him for being
rcd headed; his ~dtooping moustaoke owns
with contrition its kinship with his hair.
He looked as if he would have fed from me
had not ~neighborly courtesy restrained him.

So this was the place / had come to in
