Polite al and Other Observations

Polite al and Other Observations
on Train.
There is good tinge of excitement
travelling through State by rail dur
ing week or two weeks prior to a
National election. Not everything is
political on a train-there is some
wishy-washy demonstrations of love
the kind that makes the spectator feel
soft way down in the regions of his
blood-pump, there are other fetes, but
politics seem to have the upper hand
and furnish the greatest amount of
genuine excitement.
Going down the St. Louis road from
st. Paul to Albert Lea last Thursday
evening there occurred one of these
political demonstrations. Whether it
showed the drift Of politics in Min
nesota or whether it just happened SO
there were about 20 gold standard
Republicans and two pronounced sill
verites on the train. The silverites
concluded from the start that the train
belonged to them and at once COM
menced a demonstration in harmony
with that view, 1t happened that
three or four gold standard men got
tired of their demonstration and COM
menced replying to their arguments.
The result of the attack was that in
less than five minutes the balance of
the people in the car gathered around
the joint debating party. There we're
cries for Mckinley on every side while
only the two silverites shouted for
Bryan. In just fifteen minutes the
Bryanites we're SO completely whipped
or outnumbered that they closed up
and left for the smoking car. They
were completely driven out of the
train before they reached their desti-
nation.
Going over to Minneapolis on a
street car Wednesday the writer was
startled by hot discussion in the end
of the car. A silverite had started the
trouble and became so belligerent that
Gen. Mark D. Flower, who was occu-
plying a seat with Will Rich of Lyon
county, turned upon him. Soon the
silverite, who was a little bit coarse
started to use words at Gen. Flower
and kept it up until the conductor
who wore Mckinley button, told him
to stop or leave the car. This stopped
that discussion. Gen. Flower turned
around, and with a smile:on his face
remarked that he wondered why PEG
pie would get into political discus
sion, and that whenever he heard one
he was forcibly reminded.:of the heat.

EFFECT ON THE IMAGINATION.

Deer-Hunters Quite as Good story-Tellers
as Anglers.
Next to q fish story, OF probably o
snake story, the deer hunters can be
depended upon to get up and circulate
the most exaggerated stories of their
achievements pgon returning from a
hunting trip. This is again forciblJ
illustrated in the appended special"
which was sent to the Ledger by a cor
respondent In the interior of Pennsyl-
yenia, and who was serious in all he
said: THE deer-hunting season which
closed to-day, has been marked with
greater success to the sportsmen Of this
part of the state than any season for a
number of years. To the writer's GER
tain knowledge there have been well
on to two score of these creatures
brought to earth, and one improvement
over past years ia noticed in the fact
that not one Of this number was
killed purposely for market, as has been
lone to such an extent in past years.
"Amongt the number killed were some
very large ones, notably one killed by
Harvey Mann, which weighed 25s
pounds; another by Robert Gunsallus,

no tipped the scales at from ITS to 200.
Naturally, the season could not pass
without a number Of tales that sound
like old hunting stories, but the fol-
lowing is all true, and so the more in
teresting therefor.
But one of the most remarkable
deer-hunting stories, and which is
vonched for as true, is told as happen
ing to Joseph Mann. of Bald Eagle val
ley. Mr.. Mann and o friend were out
on the hunt for wild turkeys. and in
going down a decline Mr.. Mann saw a
get up behind a log and stretch it
self. He fired, and when the smoke
cleared away, there stood the deer.
Having a double-barreled gun he pulled
up and fired again; as before when the
smoke cleared away there stood the
deer. BY this time his friend was
near. and asked him what he was
shooting at. He beckoned him to
ppproach, aud. pointing at the
animal, told him that he had
twice and the deer never moved,
and that he should try his luck. The
second man shot and the deer dropped.
the we went down to see their
game, and what vas their surprise on
at the spot to find, instead of
one animal. three fine deer. It seemed
that they had been sleeping there, and
Is the first n was shot another got
up. and SO on, until the three were
