MINNEAPOLIS,
NOTE AND COMMENT.

Once in while movement is set on
foot in Minneapolis which shows that
the people of this city are wholly in
sensible to the claims fer recognition of
those who have done so much for the
city. G. Nj. Loring has many times and
oft been hailed as the father of the
Minneapolis park system, and the city'S
most beautiful park has been
named in his honor. Public spirited
citizens have erected bust Of the
late E. NJ. Wilson in one of the parks.
One of the city's most prominent water
courses is named after Mai. Bassett.
Yet all of the distinguished citizens
have not been recognized. Yesterday a
subscription paper was started OH its
rounds for the raising of fund to
erect monument to Miquealivitch
Breslauer, the renowned bill-poster
of Minneapolis, and the only true
discoverer of Red Dog paste. The
monument will be of heroic size and
when completed will be one of the
marks of the city. 1t will represent
Col. Breslauer rampant on a bill post
er's wagon. Around him will be strewn
the articles with which the bill poster
dallies in his moments Of frenzy These
will include various rolls of photographs,
brushes in assorted sizes, cob
pipes and plentiful supply of
Red Dog paste in bold relief.
TIE figure, which will be an accurate
representation of Col. Breslauer, will
hold aloft in the right hand cleaning
brush full Of the famous Red Dog, and
the left hand will point significantly
toward the right and its contents. From
the lips will issue scroll bearing these
words, in letters several feet high,
1.-THE brush is mightier than the sword.
and the puerile efforts of profess
sional 'josheIs' shall not prevail against
il, for it gets the money every time, you
bet! See?'' The location Of the monu-
ment has not yet been decided upon. 1t
will be either i'll Hoag's lake or Todd's
pond. e. w. Murphy and Thee. L..
HAYS have started the movement, and
G. A.lParker, who returned from New
York expressly for this purpose, will de-
vote most of his time to pushing the en-
terprise. 1t IS expected that the art
loving citizens will respond literally TO
the subscription for monument to com
memorate the virtues of q man who has
done so much for the cause of art i'll
Minneapolis as has Col. Breslauer.
"Vehr vas der pOhs?
The GLOBE man was enjoying mod
est slesta when his peace was broken by
the foregoing interrogation uttered in a
thick, bass voice. Looking up he saw
the open, friendly and beaming counte-
nance of q man whose two rosy cheeks,
and roster nose, bore 4 striking reSem-
blance to a pair of immense knoedelS of
the Fatherland on either side of gen.
erous-sized wiener-wurst. The ques-
ton implied that he was not the boss.
Perhaps he did not like the int rrup-
ton, but having once seen the ques-
toner, he cOuid not be sassy" to him.
He said:
0"Well. just now l am the boss. What
can do for yOu"'
"Nein, nein; / vandts der man der

ION, yes, / see; you are in the wrong
place. You will have TO go to Water
town. Uncle Sam keeps an Office there
to give away claims"

And the old man went out to raise the
temperature for the boys.
The man who was congratulating
himself all day yesterday on his being
too smart for the April l jokers, went
home late last night to find that his
wife had eloped with the butcher.
Yes. gentlemen of the city council do
try brick for paving, and extend it to
curb and gutter, too-dO anything to get
rid Of this annual quarrel over curb and
gutter contracts.
Elder Satterlee has returned from the
South. This is an iufallible indication
that the Prohibition political season has
reopened.
"Eureka" roared wild-eyed man as
he darced abont the rotunda of the West
last night. trampling an evening paper
under foot and wildly clutching his hair
to prevent disruption of his head by the
magnitude of his discovery. 81 have at
last solved that problem!"
"Solved what problem%' asked his
agitated companion.
"Why, have been unable to grasp
the meaning of the facetious editorial
paragrapblets in the Journal"
And what is the solution?"
The paragrapher and the editor of
the puzzle department are one and the
same
