WHEN THREE WITS MEET
THE SPARKS WE'RE DROWNED IN
A FLOOD OF MERRY
HUMOR

Turn back the leaves Of life-don't read
the story.
Let's find the pictures and just fancy all
the rest"
No doubt Mr.. James Whitcomb Riley
has been following his own advice and
that's why he's able to greet one with
such very young eyes and so very boyish
smile This youthfulness about him
gives one something of a pleasant Shock
because he has heard of James Whitcomb
Riley for-well, of course, the number Of
years depends upon the person, or per-
1haps upon the sex.
Mr.. Riley chatted with Globe re-
porter while yesterday, darting in bird
like fashion from one topic to another
Listening to him, watching the play of
expression on the keen face, the lights
and shadows in the expressive eyes, one
could not fail to get the impression that
Mr. Riley has obtained from life the
very best it has to offer not because he
has been selfishly bent on doing SO, but
because he has made up his mind to see
only the very best. He has proved what
once he said in the poem already
quoted.
I'VE can fill the pages with brighter
glory
Than the old-time storyteller at his
BEST
w ny, Why Will people be pessimistic,"
said Mr.. Riley, energetically yesterday;
its fashion so many of our writer's
are falling into, and why do they do it?
Of course there is a lot of unpleasant
ness in life. But why should be dwell
on 1t? Give me the author who can tell
pleasant things in a pleasant way He's
the man that wins the heart Did YOU
ever hear Mark Twain tell the story Of
the thousand-dollar bank note2" he de-
manded, and the comicaI twist he gave
his mouth was anticipatory of something
unusually good The reporter was com
PEELED to state regretfully that that
pleasure had never been enjoyed.
We'll, said Mr.. Riley its my idea
of a perfect story perfectly told And
with his inimitable gestures and his ir
resistble smile he told the story.
Yes" he said, 'the world is a pleas
ant place if one would only look at the
pleasant things in it" And then lust
from force of contrast Mr. Riley spoke
touchingly of Mr.. Nye's death and to
their warm friendship. HE was one
of the most perfect men have ever
met, said the poet, quite simply, and
without the least effect of exaggeration.
II think one of the happiest nights of
my life was one I spent at INDIANAPOLIS
Nye and l We're to give an entertainment
there and Eugene Field, hearing of 1t,
came down from Chicago. We were per-
fectly congenial, the audience was with
US from the start, and everything was
beautiful. Afterwards we three got to-
gether and-well, it is, and always will
be, the pleasantest memory of my life. 4"
Mr.. Riley went to Duluth last night
He will lecture Thursday evening In ST.
Paul.

Two years ago the first meeting of the
committee brought out only. two members
III addition to the chairman The increas-
ed attendance at this meeting was taken
as prophetic and hopeful sign.
Thomas Jefferson, president of the Ram
sey County Colored league, and promi-
nent In the last campaign, came to the
city in 1885, and has taken a prominent
part in promoting the interest of the race.
In 1883 he organized the colored Odd Eel
lows in this city, which was the first of
its kind in the state. The two lodges,
one in this city and the other in Mime
apolis, are the fruits of his labor in that
direction. He subsequently organized a
colored military company and named it
for the lamented Edmund Rice who was
then mayor He then organized a brass
band of thirteen pieces and presented the
organization with an entire set of instru-
ments at his own expense.
Jefferson. was a strong supporter of
Rice's candidacy for mayor and for con-
gress, and when Rice was elected mayor
he asked for the appointment of a color
ed man for fireman; and the mayor re-
sponded to the request by appointing a
colored fire company and sent to Chicago
to get Capt. Hawkins; to command the
company. 1t is now located on Front
street, and stands as monument for the
friendship and consideration that Mayor
Rice entertained for the colored people
of ST. Paul. He then requested the ap-
pointment of colored men for policemen,
and ever since his race has had represent
alton on the police force.
Thomas Jefferso 2was the first colored
man in Minnesota;foe sever his allegiance
from the Republican party and cast his
political fortunes with the Democratic
party He organized the colored voters
for Robert A. Smith every time that gen
tleman was a candidate, and he aided in
rolling up the phenomenal 800 majority
for Mayor-elect Smith in the Fourth ward
last time
Jefferson organized the Ramsey County
Colored league in 1883, with member
ship upwards of 800, and it is now the
strongest organization among the colored
voters in the state of Minnesota. AS
president of the league, Mr.. Jefferson will
marshal his forces for the fall campaign,
and he intends that the organization shall
be factor in carrying the state in No
vember next for William j, Bryan and
Gov. Lind.
A Washington specialize the Gsl o b .
says that it is definitely settled that A.
postmaster of St. Pault2 The appoint
ment will probably be made within ten
days.
