MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

He was well dressed and cookbook
Ing. He came up to the policeman on
the corner in the most matter-ot-fact
way possible, and when lie asked the
direction to certain hotel he looked as
if his only object in life was to find that
hotel. But he had looked ut his watch,
then up and down the street anXionsly
before addressing the policeman. The
uniformed guardian gave him the re-
uuested directions. But the young man
aid not 90. lie seemed to have lost his
solicitude for the location of that hotel
1t was gone, and i'll It's place was,a de-
sire TO get better acquainted with inc
policeman. In fact the young, man be-
came quite chatty. Then he looked at
his watch again. More conversation
with the policeman. The policeman
started TO tell him story. Just
then a Young woman came along
and turned down a dark side street,
The young man.SIW her, and so dld the
policeman. The policeman went OF
with his story, but you could tell by his
eyes that the young man had lost inter
est in it. He grew bit nervous, and
broke away from the pollceman'S story
before the climax was reached. AnN!-
ETY. TO get to that hotel. probably, mad
returned But he went down the dark
side street III the opposite direction
from the hotel.
The policeman just winked and
chucklcd in wonder-it-he-thoug
a-fool way.
Fred Pride denies that his spake-fced-
ing motives are organized i'll the inter
est of the soliciting department OF the
Keeley cure.
Won't MIR. Harmon please stop mon
keving with the weather? His predic-
tons have so tangled up the elements
that we get snow storm every twenty
minutes.
Now is the time for Miner and Skoog
to compass revenge by preparing and
introducing in the council brand new
snow ordinance.
Virgil was falsifer. Mitigation may
be pleaded i'll his case on the ground
that he was a poet. but that does not
entirely excuse his fragrant mendacity.
He wrote some mctrcal essays once
on the lives of men VINO
spend their days in tilling the
soil, attending bees and growing fruits
and flowers. He painted all these men
as mild IN manner, soft in speech, poetic
in thought. the prrsOnlhcatlon OF grace
in motion. and with SOFT. heaven-born
light in their eyes. or course, Virgil
wrote all that stuff years ago, even be
fore Columbus began ''pesterin' round''
looking for excuses for nineteenth cent
ury celebrations, but poets like Virgil
are supposed to write for all men and
all ages. His picture of the Italian
beekeeper and plum tree primer does
not answer for the Minnesota article.
The weather between and the McKin-
ley bill and the Australian ballot law
may have something to do with the diff
ference. Anyhow, there is difference.
The session of the state horticulture
society proves VirgiPs untruthfulness.
If you don believe it, attend some of
the s0cit1y's meetings upon the sixth
floor Of the Lumber Exchange.
The health department will send two
representatives to the East again to in
VeStigate the system for keeping the
cholera away. If tine members of the
health board use up a. much money
this year for travelling as last, Minneap-
oils will probably have to wait several
years for Il new quarantine hospital.
Chief Runge is getting pretty close to
the fire. He should have care. for
children have been known to burn their
fingers ere now.
