The road dams the water up, and
makes an unhealthy mess, which
would cause ague if this was not
such a healthy country. A ditch is
needed to drain this water off. He

him in making the Improvement.

next week, and also investigate a

The council voted leave of absence
to Chief Lulsdorff, who will leave

Mr.. Hughes said that it is not
often that the governor of the state
comes from Mankato, and he thought
that it would be good thing to ask
him to confer the diplomas upon the

be extended to him to do this, and
this was carried.

HE'S AN UNLUCKY
PHILANTHROPIST

, BY a prank of destiny Ferdinand
Grass who was fashioned to he a phi
lanthropist, became vagrant. His
friends believe he switched the day he
fell in his youth from a neighbours
barn.
His unkept hair stuck out like the
rays of rusty starfish and mis- hands
trembled constantly as he sat very
erect in the front seat of the dock in
Police Judge Shortalrs courtroom. His
brick-red. bloated face and watery
eyes, however, burned with brotherly
love.
He was observed once to smooth out
wrinkle in the torn coat collar of
the vagrant next to him, with Osten-
tatiOus and kindly concern. The vag
drew aside and said fiercel1: Keep
your flappers offn' me, you old red

Grass unhanded him as if he had
touched a hot stove.

when Albert Jones ami Fred Simms

HE WON THE SPEED RECORD.

This is one of a dozen good stories
which Mayor Frank B. McClain Of

country had the fastest trains.
