u most liberal Offer.

We notice in recent issue of
the Minneapolis Times that the
progressive Twin City Daily has
inaugurated popular voting con-
test for the benefit Of subscribers
and their friends. It is termed
"The Great Profit Sharing Con-
test" and both old and new SUBJ
scribers may enter upon the same
conditions.
The subject matter of the inter-
esting contest in which the large
cash prizes will be paid is the
Total Popular Vote to be cast for
President of the United States on
the 9Th day of November 1904.
It seems to us that every man,
woman and child in the United
States should be interested in the
greatest election the country has
ever had. 1t costs nothing to enter
the Times contest as every cent
paid is applied on subscription.
We would suggest that our readers
secure copy of the Daily or Sun
day Times containing the list of
prizes which are offered. Any of
the prizes are fortunes. in them
selves and surely would be accept
able by residents of this Commu-
nity.-Adv.

blunder he ever made.
In the first place I don't believe
in any one tryin' to cut North an
South America in to to make the
water run round both of EN-. In
the second place Uncle Sam had
no bizness of goin' over to Europe
an firdin' Frenchy an tellin' him
he was goin' to cut out a strip of
dirt cross the istmust fur to fill in
some marshy places an kill the
mustkitters.
In the third place he had no
bizness of givin' Frenchy such a
heap Of money jest to let him no
that he was all wool an a yard
wide.
In the fourth place Uncle says
he wants the water to run cross
the istmust to sail on. A Teller
wood think that there haint enuff
water to sail on now. Yes he
wood.
In the fifth place if the Pacific
Ocean wants to dry up, let her dry
up, an we can bid street car
line over to the Philistine Islands.
[ don't believe in tryin' to pour
the water out of the Atlantic into
the Pacific, cause we want it all
here to sail on.
Some big heded chap-I mean
one of them fellers that eat lot
of books jest for a Twin, says
that if you keep fresh water movin'
all the time it makes it better to
eat; but darn if you can make salt
water fresh by keepin' it rollin'.
No, you can't. It jest seems to
me that Uncle was out of job an
wanted some exercise, an he
thought he'd shovel a ditch cross
that ismust. I'll bet my best suit
of close gainst your last years
base ball experience that he'll
have the darndest sore on his hand
fore he's threw than ever he had
before. I no what [ am talkin'
bout cause when 1 was a kid help
shovel a ditch cross a fourteen
aker field once, an it's darn hard
work. Yes, tits. Frenchy shovel
ed till his hands got SO COMPOUNDED
sore he quit, an now Uncle he's
got fever for shovelin' too. It's
only fad an he'll quit. Yes, he
will.
You member few years ago
everybody thought they had a
grape or hayseed stuck some
where's inside of them an they had
to run to a doctor an get it cut
out. Well it was only a fad, an
when somethin' else come long the
grape an hayseeds didn't stick
no more.
I don't believe in diggin' aditch
cross that ismust 30 we can let
our punts get over in the Pacific
Ocean when they git tired of the
Atlantic; besides there's lots of
water down round South America
that they can sail on if they want
