A touch OF color, such as blue, green,

ORDER IS TO PLAY BALL
THE ALDERMANIC CAPTAINS IN
STRUCT MEN TO GET IN TRIM
FOR THE LOCKWOOD FAMILY
BENEFIT GAME.

Captains Dennis G. Bow and Peter
Mccoy Of the rival aldermanic base
ball teams which are to play for the
benefit of the Lockwood family relief
fund, have issued instructions to all
the men under their respective re-
serves to get in trim for a game in
about a fortnight. The aldermen
have not yet been assigned to
their places in the diamond, but
the captains are not as particular
about that as they are about organ
izing the police and fire departments
into ticket-selling squads. 1t is con-
ceded that no one would pay cent
to see the aldermen play ball, but
every true Minneapolitan will gladly
contribute a nominal sum to a worthy
beneVolence.
The Minneapolis Journal Newsboys'
band has placed itself at the disposal
of the managers of the game and
will head the parade, play at the ball
park and render such other service
as may be required. This voluntary
offering greatly pleased Alderman
Bow, who has been particularly active
in arranging this benefit.

A WEARY WILLIE
LIKE ROBIN HOOD
HIS SAUVITY STAGGERS CON-
STABLE POWERS AT EX-
CELSIOR.
With All His Merry Men the Leader
of "De Gang Politely Elevated His
Hands and Courteously Informed
the Officers that the Suspect Had
Fled.

Axel Anderson, residing at Hop
kins, visited Lake Minnetonka Memo
rial day and was attracted to Ex-
celsior. He was lonely and was will
ing to make friends with anyone. The
result was he returned home minus
his timeplece, which he valued greatly.
He reported his loss to Constable
Powers, saying that he had gone to
a nice shady nook with a chance ac-
quaintance and had been introduced
to circle of friends who were max
ing merry about key Of beer.
Anderson made merry, too, and it
was not long before the contents of
the key had been consumed. Stories
were told and then. some one suggested
that the crowd take a nap. Axel
promptly acted upon the suggestion
and in few minutes was lost to the
world. Several hours later he was
aroused by the rain and when ne
opened his eyes he found himself
alone, and his watch was gone.
The constable was soon on the trail
Of the gang. When he appeared, the
leader, named Bennett, arose from his
seat on an empty beer key and making
a sweeping bow, said that he had just
be prepared for a visit from the officer
and he was glad to welcome him to
their midst; he knew the officer was
in search of a watch stolen a few
hours before and he was willing 10
assist in the search to the limit Of his
ability.
This took the officers breath, and
he was entirely unprepared for what
followed. Assuming a soldierly posi-
ton, Bennett ordered his men to line
up. He told them to hold up their
hands.
Nov Constable Powers said Ben
nett, you are at liberty to search my
comrades at your pleasure. You will
find no timepiece. I will inform you.
