When the sidewalks will be clear Of snow.
If Grover Cleveland really enjoys being
president.
If real estate agents are liars above all other
Why is it that church choirs are forever
quarrelling.
If roller skating will ever again be popu-
lar amusement.
= When the broom brigade will again make
its appearance in public.
If St. Paul and Minneapolis will ever stop
their quarrelling.
How many people will learn to play lawn
tennis this season.
If some people really like limberger as
well as they say they do
How many of our young men have matrimo-
ny in their eyes.
Why the young fellows take their girls to
church in the morning
Whether Redwood county will ever have
better court house.
How many of our young men will have their
hair clipped this spring.
If the oldest inhabtant ever saw worse
winter than the last one was.
If there is any person living who isn't tickled
at seeing his name in the papers.
Why Redwood Falls can't have real estate
boom just as we'll as Ashland or Duluth.
How many individuals roaming at large
who ought to be in lunatic asylum.
Whether every lady member of the Chautau-

heavens.
Whether the fellow who drops button into
the contribution box at church ever feels ashamed
of his trick"

From Duluth, mind you, a city that is known
to be one block wide, three miles long and three
miles high.
We just thought that you might like to
know that an Austrian recently told as that the
beautiful Danube was never blue. Isn't it terri

the Dead Sea never died. No wonder we have
