ABOUT PUBLIC MEN.


running series of puzzle pictures recently
| presented the head and shoulders of Ulysses
| Simpson Grant Sr. to represent modern
novel; which it subsequently turned out was
| every Inch Soldier Now Adjt Gen.
Nuremberg, who has general charge of the
| fancy dress troops of the state of Minnesota,
| could give Gen. Grant inches either up or
| across but if the discerning eye of New
| Ulm femininity is to be accepted as authority,
| it will be some time before the author of
| the novel will weave the Minnesota adjutant
| general into his frontispiece. Recently the
| Sons Of Hermann had blowout at New Ulm,
| and the governor and his staff went down
| there to see the fun, taking with them all
| their fuss and feathers and military trap
| pings, not to mention quick repair outfit
| for damaged fences. Gov. Clough made one
| speech at the festivities, but his adjutant
| general made seven or eight in the presence
| of a number of richly clad militarists who
| had accompanied him to one of the pretty
| booths where refreshments were sold, to as
! sist perhaps in defraying the expenses of
| building the monument. The foam had fut-
| tered more than once from before the faces
of the thirsty cuirassiers, for it was warmer
then than it was yesterday, when the rotund
general digging into the exchequer of his
the price of just what he had drank him
self.
He came right up to the scratch like a
little man and asked the fair barmaid:
tWhat is the damage"
"Oh that's all right" cheerily replied the
bucolic damseL 'The committee told us not
to let the band pay for anything"
And they do say that the adjutant general
does not know fiat from Asia Minor.

Court Bailiff Marks who has been on duty
in Judge BuHns court room where the ma
turalzation process has been going on for
the past week, is nothing if not observant.
Among other things, Mr.. Marks has noted
that one King Oscar II. of Sweden has so
frequently been abjured as to indicate that
that monarch is in danger of losing all Of
his subjects, if the thing keeps up much
longer Yesterday afternoon during the recess
Bailiff Marks conided his apprehension on
this point to Judge Bum when he remarked:
your honor if this don't stop pretty soon,
it looks as though Kink Oscar would be out
of job
Yesterday Judge Bum naturalized Il in
dividuals which brings the total for the week
up 10 245.
Tomorrow night Judges Bum and Lewis
will hold court in court rooms one and six
on the top floor, beginning at s. o'clock, for
the purpose of naturalizing residents. One of
the judges will also sit on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Friday nights for the same purpose.
They tell this one on Judge Gilfllan who
was once endeavoring to impress an ambi-
tious new conner with proper respect for the
basic facts of the proud and naughty repub-
lie in which the judge is an honored member.
A faxen- haired foreigner was this new
conner, but he had seen enough of the coun-
try to think it was a good thing and he
wanted to get on the poll list right away.
With severity unusual even for one so
dignifed as the present supreme court jus
tice the judge had the immigrant, as he
thought pretty well scared, and to complete
the initiation with the proper eclat, not
having any red fire, the judge asked, sharp
ly:
Who's the king of this country?'
The foreigner was puzzled He looked plead
ingly in the face of the clerk of the court;
then at his witnesses, but no satisfaction
could he get. Finally, mastering courage, he
launched boldly out:
''Ay tank Ban Harrison ban good enough
king for Swede man
And the severe judicial dignity was ruff
fed.
State Auditor Dunn had been up country
selling land while ago. On the train COM
ing down he became more or less casually in
volved in conversation with stranger, who,
it developed, gBas coming to st. Paul. The
stranger evidently! picked Bob out for
farmer, and talked crops till the Princeton
man could scarcely remember which OF the
state boards he haddecided to discipline next.
They chatted son, ana finally the stranger
asked Dunn .where he was going when he
got TO St. Paul.
'soh!" replied Dunn. 81 guess I'll go up
to the capitol first I've got a little bust
ness Up there
80 have r. replied the other. But
guess l won'tsgo up there just yet. These Of
flee holders don't get around very early, and
1 don't suppose Dann's any better than the
rest of 'em. i've got few papers that need
his sig. b
