THE TRIP SLIP QUIP.
TRUE STORY OF "PUNCH, BROTHERS.
PUNCH WITH CAREw

The street Chr Fare Collecting jim
gle That Drove Mark Twain Into n
Literary Nightmare, and Its French
Equivalent.
In the year 1916 there appeared in a
Boston magazine that famous fragment
by Mark Twain, "Punch Brothers
Punch" the rhythmic touch of which
has since moved round the world like a
wave Of old ocean.
The frngmcntary bit OF verse had n
curious origin, and the true story of it is
not unworthy of record in literary his
tory. Early In the month of April, 1879,
the horse car line of the New York and
Harlem Railroad company, having adopt.
cd the punch system, posted in the pan
els of their cars n card OF Information
and instruction TO conductors and pas
seucers. both of whom were indirectly re-
questcd TO watch each other. 1t read as
follows:
"The conductor when he receives faro
must Immediately punch in the presence
of the passenger:
"a blue trip slip Tor an eight cent fare.
A buff trip slip for six cent fare.
pink trip clip for a three cent fare.
For coupon and transfer tickets, punch the
tickets"
The poesy of the thing was discovered
almost MS Immediately" as the conduct
or Immediately" punched, and all sorts
OF jingles were accommodated to tive
measure. In September the first poem
appeared In print. and various versions
appeared in New York and Boston news
papers.
In January, 1876, Mark Twain's "Lit-
erary Nightmare" appeared with the fol-
lowing version:
Conductor. when you receive fare.

MAYOR DOES NOT APPROVE
Says Department Does Not Need the
Money, and Is Opposed to
PiIing Up Sur
plus.


Under the charter which gave it legal
existence, the ST. Paul water department
is empowered to collect from the city
rental for fire MIGRANTS and the water
used in the quenching Of fires, but
though a demand has been made upon the
council for compensation, it has so far
failed to receive consideration.
Since the city became the owner of the
st. Paul Water company, an arrearage OF
rentals amounting to $3.50 has aecunlu-
lated, but the water board says it will be
satisfied to wipe this Indebtedness out,
if the city will make provision for future
rent. The board gave the matter consid-
Grafton yesterday, but as it can neither
sue or mandamus the council there is
little probability that the amount will
ever be collected.
The bill was presented in due form to the
council at it's last session, but that body
has shelved it, and it is hardly likely that
it will be taken from its hiding place ex-
cept under compulSion.
Mayor Smith holds that to pay for
water used by the city would be simply
transferring money from one hand to the
other He thinks the water department
has all the money it needs, and should
not be asking for more
He is opposed to piling~up a surplus,
holding that if it can be done the water
rates should be reduced instead.

Playful Gambols of the Canine lead

was called upon to adjust the trouble be-
tween Peter Sulender and Nick Ringer,
neighbors living an the same lot at $50
Rice street. KiHger had Sulender in
court on the charge OF. assault and bat

on the head with a barrel staye, without
any provecatioal

four years, and until recently experienced
no trouble as neighbors.
Klinger ayss5ufelder owns pup about
five months old and that on the evening
/ Of Dec. q, while he was in his yard, tho
pup began gambling around him. much
to his annoyance. He threw some sticks
at the dog to drive him away and nothing
more happened that day. On the next
afternoon, however, he alleges that when
he came out into the yard to empty soma
ashes, SuIender also came out, and with.
out saying a word, walked. up to him and
struck him over the head with barrel
Staye.
Sulender on the other hand, claimed
that he was out in the yard the next
day, when klinger attacked him with an
ak, and his wife assisted in the onslaught,

on the part of his neighbor he alleged,
forced him to use the stave in self-de-

Rev. DR.. Johnson, of Minneapolis, who

cry of education that is being raised all
over the country. He aIEo said that the
percentage of worhngmen among the

or country you will see that there is a
very small membership among the work.

The whole country Is crazy over educa-
ton. People are giving away their mil

They are simply widening the gulf be-

is all right for the rich, but, what does
it do for the poor workingman. What
We want to fnstill into the minds of the
people is q spirit Of contentment, and
what does this great educational work

LOUISIANA PURCHASE
GOVERNOR CALLS UPON PEOPLE TO
OBSERVE ITS CELEBRATION.

Gov Van SAINT yesterday issued the
following proclamation.
To the people Of Minnesota: Prepara-
tons are now under way for the Louis
lana Purchase exposition, which is to be
neld in the city of st. Louis during the
year 1903.
Dec. 20, 1901, has been selected by the
managing officers as the most appropriate
for the first impressive ceremonies In
connection with the exposition, and it is
desirable that in all territory included
in the purchase some expressions of IN
terest be manifested. In view of the fact
that large portion of our state Is a
part of the important purchase made by
President Jefferson, and that we feel
deep interest in the success OF the expo
sition, I recommend, in commemoratlon
of the event, that on the 10Th day of the
present month the Stars and Stripes be
fioated from all public buildings ana
school houses, and a general display OF
the flag be made by all citizens, and that
appropriate exercises Of historic Interest
be held in all the schools of our
state Proper ceremonies and a display
of the American flag are contemplated
throughout the entire Louisiana Purchase
region, and I beSpeak for Minnesota the
heartiest cooperation.

MANY PUPILS IN SCHOOL
TOTAG. STATE ENROLMENT GET
TING CLOSE TO HALF MILLION.

From the partial completion Of the sta
tistical report of the department of pub
lie instruction, it is evident that the pub
lie school enrolment for the past wear
will not only far exceed that Of any
previous year, but will show the largest
percentage Of increase for a great many
years past In the independent districts
of the state there is an enrolment OF
nearly 10000 pupils, of which number,
175,S0O are entitled to apportionment, and
1880 are not entitled to apportionTnent.
For 1900 the total attendance in ,nde-
pendent districts was 152, 442, of which
140, 399 were entitled to apportionment. In
1889 the total enrolment in these districts
was 1854, Of which 1925 were entitled
to apportienment. The total Increase in
Independent district enrolment from 1899
to 1900 was 1858; and from 1860 to 1901 1t
is over % GOO. This means that the totar
school enrolment for the fiscal year 1900
1901 will be 10000 and increase over 1900
of more than $4,000, and an increase OF
more than 10000 over 1892 During the
coming winter there will be close to 49,
coo pupils attending the public schools of
Minnesota. A school attendance of half
a million by the year 1905 is very probable.
No state in the Union can show SO large
a percentage of gain as Minnesota has
made in the past 40 years.

Gov. Van SAINT will today hear argu-
ments on the requisition of Charles e.
Katz, under arrest in St. Paul and
wanted in Omaha on the charge - for
gerry. Detective Johnson, of Omaha,
yesterday. presented requisition papers to
Gov. Van SAINT. ISatz is. apparently a.
much-wanted man. 1t is claimed that
there are over twenty charges against
him in Omaha. The Minneapolis police
want him on several charges, and yes
terday Detective De Laittre, of Mime
apoiis, came to St. Paul with warrants
for Katz, charging him with forgery in
that city. He, is also wanted in st. Paul
on three similar charges. Attorney Stan
j. DonneIiy will defend Katz in the hear.
ing today. County Attorney Kane has
not fully decided what course to pursue.
but seems to favor turning Katz over to
the Omaha authorities, believing that
with the many charges against him they
are more likely to secure conviction. 1t
has been intimated that the ST. Paul
charges filed against Katz We're made by
friends Of his In order to prevent his, re-
turn to Nebraska.
