ABOUT PUBLIC MEN.

One of the illustrated WeeklleS winch Is
running a 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 a 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 frGntispieCe. Recently the
Sons Of Hermann had a 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 a 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 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 warmer
then than it was yesterday, when the rotund
general digging into the eXchequer of his
recherche uniform, no! he did not lay down
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:
what is the damage?"
cob! that's all right" cheerily replied the
bucolc damseL 1.-The committee told US not
to let the band pay for anything"
And they do say that the adjutant general
does not know B fiat from Asia Minor.
Court Bailiff Marks who has been on duty
in Judge Bunn's court room where the ma
turalization process has been going on for
the past week. is nothing if not obserYant.
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
Bailin Marks confded 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 II in
dividuals, which brings the total for the week
up 10 245.
Tomorrow night Judges Bum and Lewis
on the top floor beginning at s o'clock, for
the purpose of naturaltzing 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 Gflfllan, who
was once endeavoring to impress an amb-
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.
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 a severity unusual even for one so
6ignified as the present supreme court JUS
tfce 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,

stranger evidently picked Bob out for

I don't suppose Dunn's any better than the
rest of 'em. I've got few papers that need
