Young Bartholin of Chicago is fully as de-
lightful character for the contemplation of
"our young" as the late Mr.. Tracey Of the
Pacific slope. -; - "
The ball team is now within an ace Of
leading the reverse end of the percentage
table. And yet people wonder why baseball
is played out In Minneapolis.
The automobile highway between Chicago
and New. York seems to be assured. All that
it's necessary for the twin cities to do to
join in the good work is to build road to
Chicago of which the bottom can be found

Sandstone paving has been ordered on Hen
nepin avenue next year as far as Lowry

Attorney Woodward of La Crosse intends to
appear before the next Wisconsin legislature
to urge a bill for the suppression Of fish lies.
The fisherman, by this bill, is compelled to
register the weight Of his catch with the
town or, county clerk. Attorney Woodward
is all right as far as he goes, but there should
be a provision that any mention of 'the
large one that got away" should be a felony,
carrying a heavy fine The county clerk
should also be warned to look out lest the
a.bor }ho Nv ~ ho heh
lead to make it weigh more. A man who
will lie about so simple a thing as the weight
Of fish would not be above putting one
foot on the scales when the clerk wasn't
| looking.
Every American will feel his bosom swell
with pride as he reads the various accounts
Of the way in which Gladys Deacon threw the
crown prince Of Germany. In less than three
days after she met the royal child at Marl-
boroughs, don't you know, the crown prince
was unable to ascertain whether he was a.
| coming or a-going, and was perfectly willing
| to give Up the throne of Germany for the
sakS of marrying an American with an un-
pleasant family record. This was all Gladys
own work, too, for mommer was not there
to direct. If mommer took any part, in II
at all 1t was by long distance phone. Under
| these circumstances Gladys deserves great
credit. a.."

prince was thrown into durance vile In:

banks of the storied Rhine, and papa's, mos
smiling courtiers were sent posthaste to- Sc
cure the ring from Gladys II they had to III
