They Knew Him.

Much of the excellence of Allen s
stories are lost when they are paraded
in cold print. They lost his unctuous
humor, his graphic style, his facial
expression, his droll tone. He is es-
pecially clever in nego dialect stories,
one of which he told the other night
when he had assembled his friends for
the hog and hominy feast. 1t was a
conversation between two darkies on
his plantation

the other, ''do you know them niggers

SIMPLY FALSE PRETENSES.

The Fairmont News shows up the
fight of few politicians that is being
waged upon Blue Earth county in the
re-apportionment matter, in the fol-
lowing manner:
The attempt to shut out Blue Earth
county from the second district is, the
cause of great deal of nonsense being
talked just now. 1t is not trueathat
Blue Earth can dominate the dis
trict'' unless the rest of the district
wants to be dominated. Neither is it
true that it "hogs' everything. There
are hardly two counties in the district
that cannot out vote Blue Earth, if so
disposed, and that county is absolutely
helpless.if opposed by the other coun-
ties in the. district. 1t is Mr.. McCleary
and not the county in which heslives
that controls the district, and as long
as he retains his present popularity
will do so. No matter what county
he calls his home, and the attempts to
get rid of Blue Earth is being made
because it is McCleary's home. Only
this and nothing more

RetOrt Courteous.

A recent English visi tor to India
relates the following incident of travel
to show the character of the inter,
course between the English and the
resident population of that country.
The Parsees have been scarcely longer
in the peninsula than have the Eng,
fish. They are the ancient fire wor,
shippers of the east.
Another Englishman and l were
on the night train, and we were the
sole occupants of the compartment.
1t was near midnight and we were
stretched on our respective touches,
when our slumbers were disturbed by
the entrance of a family of four OF
five Parsees, among whom were a lady
and child and an old gentleman OF
somewhat feeble appearance. OF
course, although we were not disturb
ed. there was little conversation and
discussion while touches were being
prepared and berths let down, and sc
forth, till at last my fellow country
man, losing his little store of patience,
rolled over among his rugs with a
growl: 81 wish you would stop that
chattering, you Parseesp To which
remark, when they had settled them
selves little, one of the men replied
''Please go to sleep now, Mr.. Gentle
man, youths Companion.
