There are still other printers living in
st. Paul today who have gone forward
with the changes of time, who have kept
pace with progress, and who are today
in active service but whose beginning
was at the dingy case and in the dark
office of forty years ago. Notable among
these is Frank B. Moore, foreman of
the Pioneer Office at present, a position
which he has held for forty-five years,
and who, outside possibly of David B.
Ramaley has seen more printers come
and go, in and out, CT the Sanity City
than any printer engaged in the business
today. This of course, is largely due to
the position he has held for so many
years as foreman of a daily newspaper
Mr. Ramaiey, who devoted his career en-

that dyspepsia or indigestion is a germ
disease or that other fallacy, that a
weak stomach which refuses to digest
food can be made to do so, by irritating
and inllanning the bowels by pills and
cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure indi-
gestion sour stomach, gas and bloating
after meals, because they furnish the
digestive principles which weak stom-
achs lack, and unless the deficiency of
pepsin and diastase is supplied it is use
less to attempt to cure stomach trouble
by the use of ''tonics,' pills and
"cathartics' which have absolutely no
digestive power. and their only effect is
to give a temporary stimulation.

that Hennepin county wants Chisago for
a part of it's own district, but the Repub-
licans of that bailiwick are decidedly in
favor of acquiring the disposition of the
county, SO that they can keep Ramsey
from annexing it to the Fourth when the
two new districts are formed. Hennepin
county claims that the Fourth could
muster up a Republican majority of $500
without Chisago, which is regarded as
l,IGG strong for the Republican ticket, and
that county is not needed by the Ramsey
faction. Eut this does not meet the ap-
prevail of the people in the Sanity City,
who are to figure in the redistrictinS.
They look upon the possibility of the
Fourth remaining Republican district
as very dubious unless Chisago can be
retained
OF course the preliminary scramble
over Chisago is merely a precautionary
step in case the plan of the Twin City
delegations to prevent a reapportionment
does not work. Hope for the success of
this undertaking is not despaired of by
any sort of means, however. 1t will not
be conceded at this early stage of the
game that the two largest cities of the
state cannot carry the day over the re-
mainder of the districts.

ciety folk play the piano. In years gone
by the printer had to ''show up in the
afternoon to throw in his cases, which
meant two or three hours of work. To-
day there is no distribution, and the
printer man 6oes not show up until
within five or ten minutes of time to go
to work, or, in fact, just in time to take
off his coat and get copy.
Another great change that the average
1ayman would notice would be ''cR the
floor Of the composing room, where
years ago the gay and festive Sub"
would hold forth to the extent of a score
or more for an Office running an average
of thirty cases, and among this score or
more could be seen many specimen of
what is commonly known as the tramp
printer" The Introduction of the ma
chine has practically legislated this
much-abused, though often very useful
individual, almost entirely out of exist
ence. The moralizing effect of the ma
chine in the printing business has GER
tainly been wonderful, and where the
tramp formerly came in daily, and some
times oftener, today he hardly shows up
once a month, and very soon Will have
passed into history altogether. Thirty or
forty years ago the printer, as he stood
at the case, was obliged to edit and head
line his own copy, and some of his pro-
auctions were certainly unique and bright
ridiculous. Now the managing editor,
the night editor, the telegraph editor,
the city editor, the sporting editor, the
society editor, the railroad editor and
many other kinds of editors perform
these functions for the printer, but the
good old-time printer will still tell you
that there are none of them lin it, in
comparison with the time when they had
to edit their own copy"
In the city of st. Paul today there are
still many printers who can tell about
the old Minnesotian, or the old Union
Office, or the Times office, when it stood
at the corner of the Wabasha street
bridge, where the 'Tivoli'' is now To-
Gated, when Joe Wheelock came around
one night and kicked in the front door
of the business Office and threw the Office
paraphernalia out of doors in his en-
deavor to find a piece of war news that

think he will ever learn to play the piano.
DALYS POLITICAL CAREER.
AS one Of the early printers who has
meddled somewhat in politics with vary
ing success, might be mentioned M. J.
DAILY, who was once a candidate for
city comptroller, once elected assembly
man, and city expert printer for one
term. OF late years he has devoted his
time to finding errors in Dispatch proof
sheets.
Albert J. Schweitzer who was fore
man Of the Volkszeitung for many
years, and was considered one of the
expert job printers of the city, was one
of the ol1-timers, but he has
graduated and is now acting as
agent for the Hamm Brewing Co, where
he is considered even a greater expert
tlan he was in the printing business.
Among the swell" and high roller
printers of the early seventies, but since
retired and now occupying a business
position with Mr. Sargent, will be re-
membered Mr.. Adelbert Mosher, who al
ways marked the calendar forty uavs
ahead as a limit for a stretch of work
but invariably put sub on the same
day he marked the calendar.
Fred Stevens is one of the voune-o1d
printers, who has pushed his way for
ward and upward till today he stands
in the front rank of the working print
ers.
There are many other printers whose
connection with the business dates back
to the early seventies and before. at
least thirty years back and over. who
have been employed in St. Paul offices
at different times and in different ca
pacities. Some are still actively engaged
while others are resting on their we'll
earned laurels. Among many of these
may be mentioned William P Hayes.

The evolution of the printer and the
evolution of the modus operandi of his
part in producing the daily newspaper
during the past thirty or forty years in
st. Paul will prove, to the one who cares
to investigate it, matter of much great
er surprise and of more interest than an
ordinary reader has any idea Of Thirty
or forty years ago the printer stood at
dingy case, lighted with dim and dirty
oil lamp, whose Pickering flame scarcely
gave light enough to see the copy, which
was always in a most villainouS hand
writing, and the heat from the lamp would
almost drive him mad, as it beat upon
his unprotected head, unless he wore
hat, and then he became subject to pre-
mature badness and a prey to every
''hair-restorer'' drag that was put on the
market. New let the layman come into

ENLISTMENTS IN CANADA.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-Mr. Frederick the

with the Canadian government for the es-
Enlistment in Canada of permanent re-
cruiting departments for the British
army. In order to avoid the political
feeling which such steps might engender
in the Dominion, it has been suggested
that a new Canadian regiment be Hstab-
lished. The negotiations between the
Earl of Mimic, governor general of Can
ada, and Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Cana
dian premier, and the authorities in
London, are still in progress without a
definite result.
Thanks to the good work OF the Cana
dian contingents in South Africa, it is
believed they constitute a force nearly
as effective as the British army, and
that from the local Canadians a force
may be secured for aid in waging Great
Britain's wars.
