IT'S ALL IN THE CLOTHES.

IT'S ALL IN THE CLOTHES.
I never made a hit before
They logged me out in khaki;
The girls declared I was q bore
Not fit to be their lackey;
But since I've worn the army stuff
TIE sweet things all adore me.
I throw the lady-killer bluff
Gee! How they fall before me.
But now I'm surely out Of luck
I've got my discharge papers;
And very soon I'll have to chuck
Ny clothes and army capers.
I'm going home, but don't you thinl
The girls back there will know It'll
That paper'd put me on the blink
And darned if I will show it.
III wear the khaki all the time
And say I'm on a furlough
Until these army clothes of mine
Get me a lovely girl o.
And if one of the charming buds
Will wear the marriage halter,
I'll jump into civilian duds
And lead her to the altar.

POETS'CORNER
GLOOMY RETRosPECTs.


1 remember, I remember
The things I thought were high
Way back in nineteen-nine or so,
That time went to buy:
Rich cream was twenty cents q quart,
And butter, by the pound,
Was twenty-seven cents; and oh!
How frequently frownedl
l remember, remember
My poignant fit Of blues
When dollars five were wrenched from
me
For just one pair of shoesi
And now, bowed down by grief and woe
And bitter, bitter pain,
1 pray that shoes some day may drop
To five a pair again!
I remember, remember
The way I raved and swore
When thirty-dollar suits began
To cost five dollars more;
And when cook, at five q week,
Demanded that her wage
Be raised to eight, well recall
Ny apoplectic ragel
I remember, I remember
The gloom that filled my brain
When gasoline struck thirteen cents
And drove me near insane;
And now, when things cost twice as
much,
It gives me little joy
To know their cost is nearer heav'n
Than when was boy.

LONG AGO ELECTION OF THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

twenty-five and thirty years ago,
Duluth had no Commercial Club, with
its comfortable home and its many
wheels within wheels. Those pioneer
days had to worry along with the old
Chamber of Commerce, housed in the
old Chamber of Commerce building,
now called the Manhattan building.
There was a goodly membership and
some lively meetings.. but dinners, pool
tables and reception rooms for ladies
were non est, as the young lawyers say.
An important meeting of the old
Chamber of Commerce was held De.
cember 20, 1892. M. R. Baldwin had
been reelected president, soon after
his election to congress, after beating
Judge Searle, and, at that meeting, .
letter was read from the doubty Major
in which he thanked the Chamber Of
Commerce for the continued honor. He
again accepted the office of president
on condition that he have the privi-
lege of resigning at any time when tho
best interests Of the Chamber of Com
merce could best be served by so doing.
Committee announcements for the
ensuing year were made as follows,
viz:
Observation-Disclosures and secretary
ex-officio members, R. G. Mitchell, A.
Hirsch, A. G. Weiss.
Property and Finance-President
and secretary ex-officio members.

THE MODERN BELLE.

The daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair;
She is dressed in her silks and satins,
And jewels in her hair;
She winks, and giggles, and shippers,
And shippers, and giggles, and winks
And though she talks but little,
It's vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in russell
All brown and seedy at that;
His coat is out at the elbows,
And he wears shocking bad hat.
He is boarding and saving his dollars,
So carefully day by day,
While she on her whims and fancies
Is squandering them all away.
She lies in bed in the morning
Until the hour Of noon,
Then comes down, swapping and
snarling
Because she g called too soon.
Her hair is still in papers,
Her cheeks still bedaubed with
paint
Remains Of last nights bushes
oeIore sne attempted to faint.
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her jewels so very heavy,
And her head so very light;
Her color is made of cosmetics
Though this she IL never own;
Her body is mostly cotton,
And her heart is wholly stone.
She falls in love with a fellow
Who swells with foreign air;
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair
One Of the very best matches;
Both are well mated for life;
She's got fool for husband,
And he's got fool for a wife.

ODE TO MY GARDEN.

To cut the awful cost Of food,
We'd like to plant some beans;
A lot of corn and spinach and
Some other festive green's;
We'd like to raise a bumper crop
Of cabbages and such
While scads of peas and radishes
We'd relish very much.
Of luscious, ripe tomatoes we
Would like to raise a few,
Together with some celery
And a juicy squash or two.
But as we sit and ruminate,
1t strikes us, though, at that
There's little room for planting in
Our modern five-room flat!

May, 1892, married Miss Carrie Olson
in the city across the bay.
Then the sexless Katherine appeared
on the scene from far away Austria.
Despite her neuter gender, she pos

arrested on charge of bigamy. The
case came up in the Douglas county
court on Friday, Dec. 81, 1892, and, If
the narrator's memory fails not, the

Jollied up the 200 guests in a way that
did credit to his Celtic name.

called on to speak he expressed hope
that the good feeling engendered by

ing on all to drink to the health Of
the members Of the retail grocers'
association.
R. A Folkert, on behalf of the retail
grocers, said that he and his fellow
members were satisfied with Duluth
wholesalers and that they would stand
by them.
The "Jolly Owls" quartet, embrac-
ing Charles Wright, G. A. Phelps,
Frank Parker and F. H. Segrist, then
rendered "Don't You Hear Them
Bells" with such skill as to receive
an encore.
H. B. Dow then made one of the
best speeches Of the evening, in which
he strongly advocated patronage of Du-
luth wholesale houses.
Henry Mooney, then with the Wells
Stone company, and Charles T. Fitz-
simmons, made most acceptable
speeches. Mr.. Fitzsimmons spoke par
ticularly on the pride in which Duluth
business men should feel in one an
other.
The "Jolly Owls" quartet next rem
dered "Irene, Good Night"
Simon Clark then spoke most ably in
behalf of the members of the retail
grocers' association. He told how he
could remember when William r.
Stones wholesale house was the only
one in Duluth. Then he handed them
facts, figures and pleasantries that
were worth going many blocks to hear.
He advocated the employment Of good
help and doing business on a cash
basis.
| F. h. Segrist next announced his
retirement from the Stone Ordean serv-
ice and introduced his successor, Ed.
Willcuts.
Charles Phelps, a Wells-Stone man,
spoke and then Robert F. Fitzgerald,

his inimitable and characteristic
speeches.

he was followed by R. F. Wilson, w.

WHEN DULUTH'S JOBBERS BAN.
Quoted THE RETAIL GROCERS.

Nearly twenty-seven years ago, Du-
luth was less than half its present
size and jobbing houses were con-
spicuous by their limited number. It
came to pass, therefore, that the job
bers gave banquet at the Spalding
hotel to the retail grocers on Thursday
evening, Dec. 20, 1892.
E. P. Emerson then was landlord at
the Spalding. He was the man who
put that popular hostelry on the map
with his planked whitefish. He planned
and provided an array Of eatables and
drinkables on that occasion which no
reasonable sum could secure today.
