NOTE AND COMMENT.

1t was at the fire in the Hennepin
County Barrel company's cooper shops
the other day. Engines were painting,
tiremen were rushing hither and thither,
long lines of hose QuIvered under the
pressure of solid streams of water, the
fire rOared and cracked, and the flames
shot CLEANS of defiance across the
crowd.
For Gods sake, let me through! L
must get in there."
1t was workman in the shops, who
was struggling and fighting his way
through the crowd. Some were for hold
ing him back from the flaming furnace,
but something in the mans eye made
them hold off. The crowd parted, and
the brawny workman disappeared in the
cloud of flame and smoke sWirling
around the burning building.
Why had he ventured into that death
trap? Why had he impeTiled his life?
Was it to save & life? Perhaps some
crippled companion had been left be-
hind in that pit of destruction. A lull
fell upon the crowd; inStinctiYely it
held its breath. Every man felt that he
was about to look upon deed of hero
iSn-Such herOiSm as sacrifices self for
brother.
There he is! See! He's coming
back"
The smoke lifted and disclosed the
brave workman staggering forth from
the burning building. The rOusing
cheer that rewards personal daring was
frozen on the lips Of that excited thrOng
by look upon the burden that work
man bore across his broad ShOulder-an
Old pair of pants.
From the way pocketbooks and babies
are being lost at the Mills meetings it
would seem that a private detective
agency could make money in the Expo
sition building during the stay OF the
evangelist.
There is saloon in South Minneapo-
lis which the people of that portion Of
the city have named 1.-The Brother-in-
laws" A butcher called at the police
court yesterday and asked for q warrant
for the arrest of his father-in-law on
the charge of non-support. He said
that he and his SisteT-ln-laW would APP
pear as witnesses and prove that the
old man Squandered away his money at
the 'Brother-in-law'S" saloon, where
he played cards. Although the titles of
Abe parties interested would seem TO
show Il ey were all related in law, it
may be said that the proprietor OF the
saloon is not even connected with the
family.
The committee on licenses went
'Slumming" Thursday night, and when
it returned IL declared itself positively
Mortified at several of the resorts al
lowed 10 run by the new administration.
Ill probable the crusaders will begin
operations again in short time.
The evidence brought out in the fire
department investigation is said to be
SO hot that the committee is thinking OF
detailing a fireman to watch the manu-
script and prevent il from burning UP.
An Irishman with Tipperary brogue
was brought into the central police sta
ton last night, charged with being
drunk. When asked what his name
was he said Ole OlesOn. Jailer Bradley
remarked that it was the first time he
had seen an Ole OleSOn with such a
brogue, and marked him down on the
book as Dennis O'Toole. He said he
believed in giving the Oles a chance fol
their lives, anyway.
