NOTE AND COMMENT.

History repeats itself quite often in the
local base bail world. Last year the Mime
apolis team was disbanded and the whole
western association suffered disruption
through the lack of vigor in brewers
clerk S capillary circulation. The same con-
oltlon of affairs partially exist now. The
same mans heart stopped beating and the
team was thrown on the world, though for
tunately the league and the team will con-
TIME to struggle on. Thus ends the brewers
clerk 8 dream of base ball fame. 'Tis an ill
wind however, that blows no one good, and
his retirement from the base ball arena will
be hailed with tears of happiness by the low
ers of the national game. Don't disturb the
young man slumoers, he has suffered
enough, but place slab over his head bear

highly indignant over being thus discourte

downright shame and disgrace. he said. to
Jacks righteous indignation availed him
nothing He will go over the hills to the

Behind it there is a tale. The wedding was
not at FIR. Christie's. The bride in this case

waited what seemed TO him an age Then
he was told that the dispenSatiOn would be

bride in a carriage. and. accompanied by the
priest and few friends. drove madly TO the
