Lot of Old Tars Up Minneapolis Way Send Compliments to Lipton WANT A GBASP OF HIS FLIPPEB This Voyage, but It Can’t Be Done, He Regretfully Says—Cup He Can “Lift.” Chicago, Oct. 17.—Sir Thomas Lipton, in an Invitation delivered to him yesterday from the Minnetonka Yacht club, of Minneafxilta, was Informed that the gang-plank of that city was out for him. The invitation was an elegant hit of hand-painted vellum. The so-castle vernacular in which It was worded caused the great English sportsman to smile in amusement, and he expressed great admiration for the photographic views of the lake and yachts of the Minnetonka club, which between band-painted covers were bound to the invitation. The invitation was as follows: “Sir Thomas Lipton, Ahoy!” “To Sir Thomas Lipton from the Minnetouka Yacht club: “The members o’ the Minnetonka l'aeht club douses their toplights to the gallant an’ true blue Sir Thomas Lipton an’ begs as how the squar’toed skipper o’ the speedy Shamrock will take a tack In the course o’ his cruise across this here country an* fill away for the bonny northwest cornin’ Into port at Lake Minnetonka as the guest o’ this here chib. We hopes as how the gallant .Sir Thomas, after overhaulin' of his chart an’ clearance papers. will set some favorable day o’ his own choosin for heavin’ anchor in onr peaceful waters. Which, beggin’ the parding o’ Sir Thomas, though nothin’ but fresh water sailors, we has, all the same, a true tar’s admiration for his sailorlike ways an’ would feel proud an’ happy to do him honor as a g^est. Aa to “These Here Picture*." “These here pictures we sends along Is for the purpose o’ givin’ Sir Thomas a chance to lay his peepers on some o’ the little craft that dances like cockleshells on the rollin’ waves o’ our tight little inland sea. and "to get some idea o’ how fresh-water salts like us enjoys as best we can the nohlest of all sports. “Here’s hepin' the <rallanf Sir Thomas will hear our hail an’ put Ids helm hard over. lavin’ a course mr'west-by-north for Minnetonka.

As soon as I get an opportunity—and I’m a busy man—l will write Commodore Swift Just how sorry I am that I cannot accept the hospitality of his club at presest. I must sail for home Tuesday, however.” Sir Thomas, his face still beaming with pleasure, sat down to a table to look over the views more thoroughly. Alexander Kevell. whose guest at dinner the yachtsman was last night, interrupted him. declaring that the other guests were waiting. "Then I’ll take It along with me and let all of them see ft," said Sir Thomas, and he started to hobhle ont. for he is still lame from the effects of .ds accident aboard the Erin. “Can’t you take that, too.” said Revel!, indfeatirg the big silver cup presented to the gallant knight by tlie Chicago Athletic club Tuesday evening. “Surely, surely,” said Sir Thomas. “that’R a cup I can nlwavs lift.” and grasping the token he left' the room with Reveil.

ALL SORTS OF EXCUSES.

Men Who Can’t Get Whisky Take Alcohol Straight An elderly man, with ragged and badly fitting clothes, a shuffling gait, a rum-besotted face covered with about three days' growth of beard and with a breath that indicated the close proximity of a distillery, wandered into a down-town drug storetheother morning about one o’clock, says the Washington Star. The saloons had closed. Staggering up to the drug clerk, he leaned over the counter and remarked, huskily: “Say, Willie, just fill that up with alcohol. Ten cente’ worth, see?” The ragged man produced a whisky flask, and, passing a dime over to the clerk, settled in a nearby chair with a grunt of contentment. “Alcohol, eh?” answered the clerk. “What do you want it for? We’re not selling rum in this place.” ? The ragged individual arose, and, going.over to the clerk, observed, in what was intended to be a highly injured tone of voice: “Now, youse, don’t get gay wit’ me. Rum? Who said anything about rum? That juice is goin’ to me chafin’ dish around the block. I'm goin’to cook me a rind, see? Sochasa along, me lad, and producethe good.” The clerk smiled, but, nevertheless, filled the order. “That’s the practice of those fellows pretty generally,” he said, after the bum had departed. “He has just made a hot touch, and being unable to get into a saloon is going to drink the real stuff. We have ten or 15 order« for alcohol from his class every night. On Sunday, if we .chose to sell it, we could do a rushing business in that line. The sable-colored bootblacks in this vicinity drink it almost entirely. Ten cents’ worth in a half-pint flask mixed with a little pump water, some sugar and lemon juice makes enough of a certain kind of gin to produce the much-craved-for sensation. They tell me all sorts of stories when I ask them to what use they want to put the poison. A hobo staggered into the place the other night for a dime’i worth. “ ‘Nothing doing,’ 1 remarked, laconically, seeing that he was nineten tha soused already. “ ‘Aw, now, come on,’ he pleaded. ‘I wants the dope for private use. That’s on the level.’ “ ‘What do you want it for?’ I asked, with some curiosity. “He came over to within whispering distance, and, leaning over the counter, remarked, in very confidential tones: “ ‘Say, youse just keep this on the quiet. I wouldn’t let it get out for the world. I’m painting a picture of me old college chum, Chauncey M. Depew, up to de house, and*l wants the •tuff to mix me oil«.* „ “He got the booze.” If you want elegantly printed calling cards, almost equal to engraved, at the price others charge for poorly printed ones, come to The Democrat offioe.
