Iconoclast's Tribute to the Menace.

to that scurrilous, sheet named the
"Menace"
GAS write there lies before me a
great pile of Walkers paper-reeking
with slime, SANDER and falsehood.
They are filed with lies about
priests, lies about homes of the
Good Shepherd, lies about the
Knights of Columbus, lies about
nuns, lies about the Little Sisters of
the Poor, lies about bishops, lies
about archbishops, cardinals and
popes, lies about Catholics in general

insane lies-lies vivid with malice

Why I'm an old has-been. Hustle
around and land some of the young
fellows. Now there's Ira Stanley,
Frank Goulding, DR.. McRae, Geo.
Staples and whole lot more of the
| cubs-get them-but really, much as
l would honor the privilege of being
identified with so good a lot of fell
lows as you have at St. Cloud-say
really, boys, it's out of the question.
But let me tell you something. You
have a great town over there at St.
Cloud, but you're dead on the good
roads proposition. Why, only think
of it, with quarries at your very
door, you don t use macadam to any
extent. Why we have hauled your
crushed rock away over here to Mile
Laos county and have been mighty
busy getting it distributed in the
right place-a place where it will be
an object lesson and where it will do
some good.'
One day last week I had sixty
men and thirty teams at work out
here and more than one-third of
the help was donated. Oh, yes,
we're alive over here. Mile Laos
county does things'-to which the
visitors assented unanimously. A
last forlorn effort was made to get
Roberts John Hancock to the
bottom of an application blank, but
without success. Even the gracious
wife of the representative Was i'm
portuned to assist in getting her
husband across, but true wife that
she is, she stood Loyalty by her hus-
band and with him insisted that he
could do more for his country build
ing good roads. Now the St. Cloud
contingent could not agree with her,
much as they deplored the ruts,
thank-you-mums and rough spots be-
tween here and Princeton, but never
the]ess took off their hats In respect
to one who has done more toward
solving the highway problem than
any other ten men in the state. Mr..
Dunn figures on having a turnpiked
road between this city and Princeton
before he dies that will stand as
monument to his master-effort in
| the interests of the people.
being circus day, business was
OUT or the question. The lad was
there from the country with his best
girl and the populace from the entire
! countryside was in evidence. Five
Thousand people filed the tent and
saw the elephant 'rassel' the bear
and the bear 'rassel' the elephant.
Some show, you bet. The St. Cloud
Elks went also'-relegated business
to pleasure and sat on a hardwood
bench and cracked peanuts and
bought red lemonade. There was a
hot time in the old town, for St.
Cloud was there-and Princeton was
glad of it. There's the finest lot
of fellows this side of Anoka at
Princeton, and Notwithstanding the
fact that the Elements were
against the visiting delegation,
several memberships were secured,
and one day next week, when the
elephant has made it's departure
and turmoil has subsidized, the same
crowd will return to Princeton and
in the quietude of the ordinary day
over there will add lot more men,
bers to it's ever-increasing list.
Princeton is sure a good town.
Everybody likes Princeton and its
people-and above all the beloved

JIMMY JERRARD'S VISIT.

Jimmy and Three St. Cloud Pals Take
in the Circus and Other Things---
But the Turnpike to St. Cloud is the
Stuff.
Everybody that is anybody in
Princeton knows genial Jimmy
Jerrard Of St. Cloud. Jimmy is a
former resident Of Mile Laos county
and he is a little partial to this
county and it's people. On circus
day, the ODD ult., Jimmy and three
brother Elks from the Granite City
made a pilgrimage to Princeton
but we will let Jimmy tell the story
as he told it to the St. Cloud Times:
"A bunch of Jolly Elks' visited
the very heart of the Mile Laos
county potato belt yesterday in quest
of eligible and desirable timber for
Elkdom--and they found them,
notwithstanding the fact that long
before the party reached the thriv-
ing village on the banks of the Rum
the gaudy banners and tents of a
circus were visible on the horizon.
But Elks, if Of the right stripe,
are undaunted, and their chagrin at
visiting Princeton on business on a
circus day was transposed to happy
disappointment and the delegation
had the best time ever. 1t is worth
a whole lot to sit in the august
presence Of SO distinguished gentle
man as Bob Dunn for half hour
= = = = Now Robert S
greatest attribute is modesty, and
sphinx that he is, he does not talk
freely for publication on many sub
jects save one-'good roads. and on
this he is veritab]e walking die
tionary. When he flooded his car
buretor on this question he could
scarcely be stopped long enough to
let the St. Cloud bunch intimate to
the statesman the real object of
their visit. The bankers within a
stones throw Of the veteran news
paper mans residence were telling
the mob how many sommersau]ts
Goldman Bros. kangaroo turned to
the square inch; the redlemonade
man was endeavoring to convince
the people away up at Milaca just
how little tartaric acid he prescribed
to each dose, while the booster for
the side-show was trying to explain
how the knot-hole made it's appear
ance in grandpa's wooden leg. But
above the din and roar of the motley
circus crowd, veteran Roberts sono-
rous voice could easily be discerned.
Good roads-my country for good
roads'-~Was his theme and none
other. The st. Cloud crowd tried
time and time again to get in word
edgeWlse as to the mission which
brought them to his beautiful home.
but twas no use. Fragrant Havanas
we're passed down the line and the
spokesman from the Busy, GRITTY,
Granite City, Elks landed again with
the announcement that they had
journeyed away over through the
sands 'O'Dee' more specifically for
his signature to an application blank
for membership in St. Cloud Lodge

Robert is an obdurate 'cuss'-and
none know this better than they who
know him best. Say fellers,' said
Mr.. Dunn. I'm no lodge man. I'm
no church man. You don't want me.
