Minnesota's sov'nor needs "a WHEY

Think OF how his grace and charm
Would ornament home;
We think the women of Minnesota
Should cease trying to become
voters ..... r.. e.
And should pick out their fairest

AIR "TIPPERARY."
From ST. James some years ago a
young attorney came, 49,.
One campaign for congress had
brought him certain fame,
From mankato then he tried the
victory to win
Il took two tries to win the prize
but now his friends can sing.
u takes long time 10 get TO con-
aress as Frank Ellsworth we'll
knows:
Many long years Of steady plug.
aina,
Until now at last he goes.
With good will from his opponents,
Both Flittie and Hsyeraftl
its a long hard fight to get to con-
nress,
sut Franks there at last.
Those songs were sung to Gov.
Crnor ". s. Hammond and Con.
sressman-elect T. r. Ellsworth by
the Elk's quartet OF 81. Paul at the
festivities given in honor Of those
two distinguished citizens by the
Mankato Lodge of Elk's at the club
rooms. Saturday night. More than
200 Elk's were In attendance to en-
Joy the Dutch lunch and the varie-
ty Of features that went to make
up a delightful evening. The lunch
was served in the hall. which has
been the scene Of many pleasant
gatherings Of members of the order.
However the affair OF Saturday
night was the finest gettogether
In which the best people on earth"
had participated for some time.
The lunch. which has been prepar-
cd under the direction OF manager
William Clark. was ready TO be
served at promptly 1880 o'clock.
Every chair was occupied when &.
X. Butler. master OF ceremonies. re-
quested the assemblage to be seat
cd. There was nothing left undone
TO make the repast palataeble and
the Elk's certainly did full Justice
to H. The service was excellent
also. several quick-stepping Elks
having volunteered to act as wait
ers. No Elk was permitted TO
leave the table unfed. His every
want was fully supplied.
Letter From Allan jackson.
Following the supper. Mr.. Butler
read a letter from Allan Jackson
OF Joliet, Ill formerly Of Mankato
and one Of the most active Elks.
ia which Mr.. jackson expressed
his regret that he could not be here
70 take part In the pleasures OF the
evening. However. he had arranged
TO have a quantity OF TX" bread
sent TO be eaten by the lovers OF
that article.
The following Is Mr.. Jackson's let.

men: 1t Is very fitting that No. 225

1T has always been a source oil
pride 10 me. that our lodge contained
not only such a bunch OF good fel.
lows, and high class of citizens In

ship. the citizens Of Hue Earth
county and MankatO city selected It's
officers for nearly every position.
and the rest OF the state its govern.
or and a congressman.
Il regret that I cannot be pres
ent and break bread on this oc.
casion, but | sm going to- supply
some bread for the rest OF you to
break.
In Chicago happened TO run
across what is known as X or
'Kaiserbrod' and Is supposed TO
represent in a modified form what
is furnished the German soldiers.
II should be particularly apprepri
ate for a Dutch dinner. and TO help
your committee make good on the
imported stun. have arranged to
send you, by American Zeppelin Ex-
press, SO as to reach you Saturday
noon, twenty (20) loaves of this
