WHAT HE HAD.

When young Humper began, as very young man.
To get into political life
He would shoulder his way through the thick Of
the fray,
Where excitement and action were rife.
And he did pretty WELL though some stories they
tell
OF the lemons that grew on the bush,
But the leaders would note that he hustled the vote
And they called him fellow OF push.
He continued to climb. In very short time
He was edgng right into the ring,
And when certain things moved it afterward
proved
That Humper had hold OF the string.
1t was known he could chop on the head OF
cop 80 ,
(Which is just a slang term for ''bul).
He was shrewd and acute and by common repute
Was possessed of a wonderful pull.
But he's seemed to progress even since, more or
less,
And his course isn't easy to check.
An obedient throng always tags him along,
Just awaiting his nod and his beck.
or a pull a drag he has no need to brag,
II you once his influence work
The response is quick and there's so little stick
You would call him the man with the jerk

STRAW HATS.

From the Providence Tribune.
With some, possibly, 1t isn't so much that
the straw hat has suddenly become COM
Portable as that last winters derby has be-
come unpresentable.
From the Chicago Evening Post
We suspect that the little girl who sent
a plaintive appeal to the weather man for
some sunshine Is but straw hat dealer in
disguise.
From the Chicago News.
A waterproof straw hat would be just the
thing.
From the Milwaukee Journal.

Massachusetts, 1t was probably a case of
spontaneous combustion, superinduced by
melancholia.
From the Kansas City Post.
Dealers all over the United States COM
plain of having stocked up on straw hats,
and the weather man arbitrarily refuses op-
portunity to unload them upon the hotheads
OF the country. Unless Old Sol soon gets
calorically busy straw hats can be had for
a discordant song.

The Foot Lake Dump.

After falsely assuming that the
Tribune was instrumental in hav-
ing the injunction proceedings
brought against the payment of city
funds on the Foot Lake dump, a
certain paper in this city says:
lone of the funny things about
the Tribune's attitude towards the
dump at this time is that Vic was
one Of the illustrious citizens who
framed the new city charter which
reached out it's benevolent arms and
took the dump in out of the cold
and made it part of the city of
Willmar, and now would repudiate
and disown it's offspring.'
The true facts in the case are that
we made objection to taking in the
road until Senator Thorpe declared
steps had already been taken to plat
an addition to the city on the other
side. On this plea we Withdrew
our opposition on condition that
more territory be added on the
other side than simply the point.
Since then, after we saw how we
had been deceived, we have often
thot that we made a mistake in
withdrawing our opposition. How
ever, the road is there, probably to
stay. The Tribune is fighting it
no longer. If it were, our readers
would know it,

ATWATER ITEMS.

Oscar Lindblom broke thru the
ice on Diamond Lake last Friday
afternoon and had a narrow escape
from drowning. He attempted to
cross on the ice from the Elmer
Nelson place north to the point on
a lady's bicycle which he was rid
ing at the time. He was about $50
feet from the point when he reached
a thin layer Of ice and both bicycle
and rider went down into the wa
ter, which was about ten feet deep
at that point. The bicycle re-
NAMED stationary, while Oscar
came up again about six feet closer
to shore, and had it not been for
the thin ice thru which he managed
to reach the surface, he would have
lost his life in watery grave.
Frank licensing, who resides
north Of Atwater, was severelyfin-
jured Wednesday afternoon on the

which inflicted an ugly wound in
his face. He was more or less
bruised, but the greatest injury
from which he suffered was the
