Last summer Harry 7. Black, man

Last summer Harry T. Black, man
aging editor of the st. Paul Dispatch
in an editorial called Gov. Lind a
traitor. The Gov. demanded a re-
traction Of the offensive epithet but
failed to get it. AS soon as his term
of office expired he marched to the
Dispatch office and demanded to know
why no retraction was made. Receiv-
ing an insulting reply, he BACKED one
of Blacks eyes, knocking him down,
and on his getting up BACKED the 9th
er, telling him at each stroke to the
floor. The reflection that to be trail
tor to the republican party is patriot
ism to ones country, ought to have
been some consolation to the Gov.
who left an arm in the south during
the civil war. The legislature howev-
er, in joint session gave the Dispatch
a severe rebuke in this tribute to
Gov. Lind:
Resolved, by the senate and house
of representatives of Minnesota in
joint session assembled. That we
hereby express our appreciation Of the
high ideals of our retiring governor.
John Lind, respecting the discharge
of official duties and obligations, of
the sound business sense and sterling
honesty that he has displayed in his
administration of public affairs, and
the thoughtful and faithful study that
he has given to promoting the safe
guarding every interest of our peo-
pie"
This resolution was adopted without
dissenting vote.

The Rummaee Sale.

The rummage sale,s the rummage
sale; all hail the festive rummage sale
The latest, greatest, paramountest is
sue since the dinner pail;" the fad
that clears the attic out, and likewise
also clears the cellar, and swaps off
one months scrap heap for the dollars
of some other Teller; the raging craze
that captivates all classes and socict-
les, and finds market for old junk, it
matters not how high it is. There's
nothing new beneath the sun nor in
the modern rummage sale-it looks as
if the stock in trade were gathered by
a Texas gale-and people crowd the
bargain rooms, all clamoripg to buy
and pay for superannuated trash that
other people throw away. Variety
the essence of this social mercantile
endeavor, and what you can't find at
a sale you'll never find at all-no nev-
er. The list is all-embracing, ranging
from broken looking glass to cooking
stoves, can openers, false hair and
candle sticks of brass; there's stuffed
canary birds, with half the cotton
stuff hanging out; bottles, Bibles,
boots and bonnets, leather belts for
lean and stout: neckties, picture
frames and gimlets; carpet stretchers
pettlcoatS; soup tureens and concert
mas that won't play one-half their
notes; battered cuspidors and scissors,
spectacles, mismated socks, stovepipe
hats and wornout collars, washboards
and rat traps by the box; old suspend
ers, flags and ripsaws: watches that
have lost their wheels; earrings, boot
jacks, garterS, razorS, slippers minus
toes and heels; breastplns, horsewhips,
pickles, harness, sword with the blade
scabbed and rusted; dishpans, chrom-
os, fountain pens with both pen and
fountain busted; every kind of wooden
tin and crockery things to put things
in; tintypes of somebody's grandma's
long forgotten kith and kin. There's
comedy and pathos in the blending of
this bric-a-brac; it wakens trains of
memory, of the faces days and years
far back. Rare visions of long bygci.e
scenes most surely will the heart re-
gale amid the rag-tag relics-of that
latest craze the rummage sale.-New
