TRIALS OF A TWIN.

Jhat folks got taking me tor him,
And each one for the other.
1t puzzled all our kith and kin:
1t reached a fearful pitch;
For one of US was born a twin.
And not a soul knew which
One day, to make the matter worse.
Before our names were fixed.
As we were being washed by nurse.
We got completely mixed.
And thus, you see, by fate's decree,
Or rather nurses whim,
Ny brother John got christened me.
And l got chriStened him.
Inis 1atal likeness ever dogged
My footsteps when at school.
Anu was always getting logged
When John turned out the fool.
put this question fruitlessly
To everyone l knew:
w hat would you do if you were me,
TO prove that you were you?'
our close resemblance turned the tide
Of my domestic life;
FOR somehow my intended bride
Became my brothers wife,
In fact, year after year the same
ABSURD mistakes went on,
And when died the neighbors came
And buried brother John.

Riding the Goat.

The pastime of riding the goat in

one average man. 1t seems to him
that his education is by no means
complete, and will not be, until he
has straddled that wicked. frOlicSome
tradition and followed madly in the
course of others. And then. having
had his ride, he longs tOsee his friends
in the saddle, careering over the old
ground. A ride over the ST. Paul &
Duluth Railroad is not exciting, but
once man has travelled over the
Duluth Short Line. he desires that
his friends shall do likewise and en-
joy the same comforts and Injuries of

most popular route between st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth, West Superior,
Saltwater, TaylOrS Falls and other
points. 1t runs the finest equipment

MANKATO MISREPRESENTED.

The following taken from yester-
days st. Peter Herald. is sample of
the way MankatO has been misrepre-
sented among the farmers Ofall sides.
The Mankato board of trade has
! been aroused to the fact that st.
ST.. Peter pays more for wheat and
pork than is paid at Mankato and is
aware of the fact that those products
are being hauled from MankatO to st.
Peter. 1t has taken MankatO long
! time to catch on for this has been GO
! ing, Oh for several years. Why, we
even pay more for flax than MankatO
| does
1t is about time that our neighbor-
ing papers were dropping glittering
generalities and giving some proof
that Mankato buyers are not paying
as much as those in other places
To show the utter falsity Of this re-
port in particular, we will make a
comparison of prices on the articles
quilted, taking as authority for the
81. Peter market the Her0id's own
published market report, which it as
serts is corrected every Friday morn
ing at eight o'clock That no mistake
may be made we have taken yeSter-
day mornings quotations, received
directly from the buyers without
their knowledge of what use the
figures were to be put to.
We find that wheat is quoted at
exactly the same figures in both
cities, 53 cents for No. and 81 cents
for No. :.
Hogs, per 100 lbs, live weight, are
quoted at ST. Peter at $40. In this
city they are quoted by the Cassidy
Packing Co. at $40 and $3.50.
Flax does not appear in the market
quotations in any Of the st. Peter
papers and we are unable to make q
comparison upon that. This would
indicate that the business of handling
| flax at ST. Peter is SO unimpOrtant
that published quotations are super
fluous. In this city flax is quoted at
81 %, and the officials at the oil mil
do not believe that it is possible
that more is paid at ST. Peter.
Corn is quoted by the Herald at q
cents. In this city % and 26 cents is
paid.
1t will be seen that in no instance
is less paid in this city than in ST.
Peter, while often more is paid. But
the papers will continue to misrepre'
sent Mankato, regardless of the facts,
and the sooner the farmers get son
to" this the more they will find it to
their advantage to trade in ! Mankato.
Our buyers give all that the state
of the markets will allow. In large
city like MankatO it is reasonable to
suppose, and it is true, that there is
more competition than in the smaller
places Then. again, farmer seldom
markets his crops without making
some purchases. He will save an
other handful Of money by trading
with our merchants as, by their large
sales, they are able to, and do, make
prices that would be considered rare
bargains in other places.

These are delightful days and if
one wants an outing, can take it sit
ting on the WOodpile. A new wood
pile looks well in spring picture, for
it speaks of thrift and comfort. The
Mankato hills seem to be leaning back
against the blue sky, and the warm
sunshine comes down so tenderly as to
nearly awaken the grass and little
rootlets. The ice is going out of the
river and there are miniature lakes in
every direction. How happy the
children are: every shiney-eye, the
three year old pet of the household is
out with the fire shovel digging in the
dirt. The chickens are all out scratch
ing and singing their cOntentment.
A woman across the street, that has
done the chore sail winter is cleaning
up around the barn. Her husband be-
lieves in woman's rights. Wood and
hay, hay. | think that's the 18th
load, coming into town. The hay all
looks so fresh and green that you can
almost smell it. Just over there, they
are finishing new house, and in an
other place preparing to build Thrift
and comfort on every hand. How
thankful we are to the good God not
only for the temporal blessings but for
the spiritual wave that is spreading
over our city.
