THE TELEPHONE QUESTION.

The Tribune continues to foist its
scarecrow, which it is pleased to call
''the telephone. question:" upon its
readers. It must think that it's read
ers are unable to think for themselves!
There is no Telephone question:" at
the present time in this city. Even if
the franchise of the Willmar Telephone
Exchange does expire in a few weeks,
tn at fact does not create a telephone
question" Does anyone believe that
the telephone company would have
completely rebuilt its lines last fall if
it would have to go out of business
next May? Would it be at the present
moment installing complete new sys-
tenn of phones and taking out every
old instrument in the city, and giving
Willmar the best system that has yet
been invented if there was a telephone
question" in the city, and they could
be compelled to go out of existence
next month or the month thereafter?
The telephone company will not even
have to apply for a renewal of its old
franchise. It can operate its present
system as tho its franchise was per-
petual. It has expended in this city
within the past few months over $685.

Two RIackbaIIino Stories.


The Travellers club rejected Thack-
cray, the majority fearing to see them
selves in some future novel by the
great man-an interesting commentary,
by the way, on the Thackeray-Yates
quarrel. The Athenaeum was not more
kind to the novelist. There he was
blackballed. The difficulty was got
over, however, in the following year
by the rule which permits the election
without ballot of persons distinguished
in science, literature or public life.
There was worse contretempts over
the election of George Moore, the phi
lanthropist, to Brooks. His nomina-
tor was in Ireland and his seconder un-
able to attend the ballot. The conse-
quence was that men were running
about saying, "Surely you're not going
to vote for that scoundrel Moorev'
twenty-five votes were recorded, and
Of these nineteen were blackballs.
They had mistaken their man for a
scamp who had been rejected years be-
fore. When the blunder was discov-
cred members wanted to- retake the
ballot, but this was against the rules,
so the election had to be deferred to
another day, when the philanthropist
was unanimously made member
London Standard.

How Soldiers Reduce.

The army officer who finds his waist
growing greater than his chest, thus
destroying the symmetry of his uni
form, eats for little while nothing but
lean meat and drinks nothing but hot
water. Thus he loses two pounds or so
4 day. He keeps this diet up till he
has sufficiently diminished himself "a
matter, as rule, of but three or four
days abstinence-and then he returns
to his usual food again. Many army
officers manage by combining them
selves to lean meat for three days in
the month to keep their figures perfect.
