1t is particularly pleasant to learn
that our ex-State senator, Mr.. AIonzo
A. Whiteman, has been converted from
his evil ways and become a preacher
He ought to be able to fill the double
role of pulpit orator and horrible ex-
ample with great credit to himself and
the state that is so closely connected
with his name whenever he gets into
trouble. There are many reasons for
believing In the sincerity of Alonzo
First, that 1t is certainly six months
since his name has appeared in print
which breaks his record of the last
ten years, and, secondly, that the re-
port of his conversion says he preach
ed three-quarters of an hour without q
single break. For the senator to do
anything for three quarters of an hour
without break is positive proof that
great change has come over him. =
Miss Biddle, of Philadelphia-and to
be Philadelphia Biddle is to rank
with Kings and potentates-ha writ
ten book which is calculated to make
Mr. Watterson resemble three shining
dimes. She has, metaphorically speak,
ing, laid out the Kentucky editor and
wiped up the blue grass region with
him. Miss Biddle says the four hum
dred is composed of true ladies and
true gentlemen of education and high
moral Tone" which is just as 1t ought
10 be, and she continues, saying that
these same persons are willing ana
anxious to open their doors to anyone
who has earned the right of entrance
1t has been remarked that Miss Biddle
has not said how much will have to
be earned before entrance is allowed.
or, in other words, she has failed to
mention the limit. The fact that the
ante Is being constantly raised, and
hence is fuctuating, may have some
thing to do with the omission, but
Miss Biddle should not have written a
book unless she was prepared to make
1T understandable, so that not only he
who runs may read, but that those In
the also ran class may be enlightened
Mr.. Watterson is to be congratulated
as 1t is but seldom that Biddle Of
Philadelphia is reused.
mysterious man with many boxes
created some interest in the Grand
Central depot, in New York last week.
and the mystery was solved only when
the presidential train pulled into the
station, and the man with the boxes
and the president disappeared togeth-
er. In those boxes were twelve hats
OF various shapes and sizes to be fitted
upon the presidential head. The pur-
chase OF a new hat was made necessary
by the trolley car accident, owing not.
only to the fact that the presidents
headgear had been knocked into a
cooked hat, but because his head had
become swollen from violent contact
with mother earth. No one has vet
explained what all the brave young
men We're doing who rode on both
sides of the president as body guard
while the trolley car was bearing down
upon them.
Some good citizen of our twin CITY
has given money to build public baths
for that metropolis. This is pleasant
news. 1t would be difficult to find a
city more in need Of a public bath than
minneapolis. NAB.
