The writer was in Governor Van
SAINTS oficea few days ago. The
ante-room was filled with people
waiting for an opportunity to see the
executive on various matters, when
a plainly dressed man entered; he
was apparently farmer and Scan
dinavian. Approaching Private Sec
rotary Jamison he said: 81 live in the
western part of the state, and being
n town for a few hours I thought I
would like to shake hands with the
governor. met him once, last fall,
when ne was campaigning out our
way, but | suppose of course he don't
remember me-" just then the door
to the governors private office open
ed and Mr.. Van SAINT stepped out.
There was little surge towards him
OF the waiting ones, he caught sight
OF the recent conner who stood diff
IDENTITY in the rear, and going to him
shook hands, called him by name,
and expressed pleasure at meeting
him again. This little incident truly
reflected Governor Van SAINTS charac-
ter; he has remarkable memory for
names and faces and does not forget ;
the friends he made during the cam !
paign, and in the midst of his cares |
of state and the distracting impor- J
tunities of those seeking appoint !
ments or other favors, he has the
same CHEEKY welcome and time for
same hearty handshake.
Minnesota has always been in the
vanguard of advance andj progress,
and this is again illustrated by a bill
now pending in the legislature. The
measure provides for the establish
ment of sanitarium for consump-
tiyes to be located at Cass Lake in
the heart of the forests. where the
balmy, pine-scented breezes will bring
vigor and strength to those unfor-
Inmates afflicted with this most dread
disease, The bill has no SAVIOR of
graft" but is simply an extension of !
that humane and enlightened spirit
which resulted in giving to this state
model schools, hospitals and others /
Institutions. 1t may not be expedi- ,
9nt to pass the bill at this ses- t
ZION, but the measure shows the tad- :
7ance thought of our commonwealth.
Minnesota will appropriate $4,000 /
or an exhibit at the Pan-American '
exposition to be held at Buffalo, N. 6
Z. this summer. The bill also pro- Il
'ides for the appointment of a COM
mission which shall haye charge of
he exhibit, the members of which q
hall serve without compensation, b
Their than their actual expenses.
While many people will regret that
he full amount first asked for, $780, b
90, was not appropriated, they may h
9 still consoled by the thought that o
10000 will suffice to make a very ;,
andsome and representative display
our wonder full agricultural, dairy, 8,
n4ber and mineral resources. It is
leo proposed to take this exhibit to =.
1e South Carolina exposition, which m
i'll open about month after that W

Two years ago, when the question

lmbent of that very renumerative r
osition then. With Republican, al
