corn in his feed trough to kick at, he gets
revenge by kicking the trough.

longer delay in seeking the proper remedy for
your complaint. You may be in the first
stage-Remember that you are approaching
the last If you are bordering on the last and
are suffering some or all of it's i'll effects, re-
member that if you obstinately persist in pro

WATTERSON TELLS A STORY,
The Offic ehOlder Whose Note An.
drew Jackson Endorsed.
JOurier-Journal.


Courier-Journal.
The secretary Of war, Mr.. Endicott, has
notified the clerks in his department. that
they must pay the debts contracted on ac-
count of their official position or leave. This
reminds us of fact which has come down
to us. s
There was an mpecuniOuS lawyer in
Nashville, but warm friend to Gen. Jack
son, who followed the old hero to Washing
ton in 1929 and was given clerkship. This
clerk contracted debt after debt with board
ing-hOuse keepers, and often forgot to pay
their bills. At last a lady to whom he
owed 500 went to Gen. Jackson
and spread the case before
him. ''Why don't you take his note?"
asked the president. ''That will do
no good" she replied, ''for he will never
pay it." Eyes, he WILL" rejoined the
president; ego and get his note and bring
it here to me-" The clerk, on being in
formed by the lady that she wanted his
note, very readily gave it. On her return
to the presidential mansion with the note
the president took it and wrote across the
back in large letters, Andrew Jackson.
whereupon he told her to present it to such
broker and he would give her the money
for it. She went and was successful.
Some days thereafter she let the clerk
know that she had got the money On his
note. He opened his eyes in establishment
and exclaimed, ''How in the HI did YOU
get money on my note?" "Oh, had a
good indorser,'' said she. ''And who was
such id fool as to indorse my note?"
he inquired. The response was Gen. Jack
son. The clerk squatted in agony, and
suffice it to say that he promptly paid the
note. 1t was shrewdly suspected at the
time that he knew full well which side of
his bread was buttered.

A CHEMICAL FIRE
Summarily Handled by Chemical
Engine YESTERDAY.

An alarm of fire was turned in yesterday
morning, bringing the department to the
southwest corner of First avenue south and
Fifth street. The blaze was large frame
structure, occupied above by w. l.. Keller
as paint shop and below by E. j. Samp-
son as a confectionery. The attention of
pedestrians had been attracted by dense
smoke pouring out of the upper windows,
and the alarm given. On Saturday night
the painters had thrown quantity Of rags
saturated with paint and benZine into one
corner, and the mass had taken fire spon-
taneouSly. In the room was stored guam
tity of oil, turpentine and benzine, and in a
short time the interior was roaring fur
mace. The chemical engine did admirable
work, and the flames were confined to the
rooms in which they were discovered and
finally extinguished. Keller is a loser to
the extent of the stock on hand including
some completed work, but is fully covered
by insurance.
Sampson was damaged slightly by the
water, which invaded the dwelling portion
of his store. His loss will not exceed S1OG
and is covered by insurance. The building
is damaged in the upper story only. 1t is
the property of Keller and is built on land
rented from Mrs. Hill of Chicago.
The only remarkable feature of the fire
was the promptness with which the chem
ical engine extinguished flames against
which an ordinary stream would have been
of no avail.

DIAMOND DOTS.
Notes from the Base Ball Field and
It's Occupants.

McCauley, who caught for the Minneap-
oils club last season. is catching for the
Buffalo league team. Pearson, who pitched
to him, is not playing this season. 1t is
probable that his arm, which he broke last
year while delivering the ball, is either not
i'll condition to warrant his pitching or he
is afraid of recurrence of the accident. 1t
is no eXaggeratiOn to say that Pearson and
McCauley composed one of the most effect
i've batteries ever seen in this city. They
played many game without an error. Nc
Cauley is playing splendid ball for the Buff
falos
Casey. the gigantic left fielder for our
club last year is occupying center field for
the Baltimores. He has distinguished HIM
self in many brilliant running fly catches,
and he appears to have lost none of his
phenomenal luck in making runs. His
scores indicate, quite frequently, more
tallies than base hits. When he gets his
first he is pretty certain of stepping on the
plate before the inning closes.
Bob Carruthers is playing even better
ball for the st. Louis than he did for Min
neapolis. His batting record leads the
club. His friends in this city watch his
scores with admiration.
The report that Wally Walker, the
catcher, was to have been released by Cleve-
land soon is contradicted. He is too valu-
able and would be caught up quick by other
clubs should they let him go. Manager
Whitcomb regrets not having signed him.
Elmer Foster will be released shortly and
he will join the Bostons and play in the
center field and pitch almost at his pleasure.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Liberty of opinion as well as difference Of
the same is shown in the following CONVEX
sations heard at different times. Said one
citizen:
Engineer Rinker is eternally keeping in
hot water with the contractors. Only a
short time ago he and Nevin were fighting
over curbstones, and now he and Carney
are at war over cedar paving blocks. What
ails the man? Can't he keep quiet ?"
Another man took widely different view
of it. His idea was:
II tell you Engineer Rinker is alive to
the city's interest. He is like lightning after
contractors who don't live up to the terms
Of their contracts. Just look how he pulled
Nevins up short on Iowa stone, and now he
has jerked Carney to time for using Wis
consin cedar blocks on Second avenue. I
tell you Rinkers dandy"
~
eff I had had my way, those abominable
asphaltum sidewalks would never have been
laid 1t was Aid. johnson or some other
member of the committee on paving that
made this remark, recently. On Saturday,
under the intense heat of the sun, the as
phaltum pavements on Hennepin avenue
were like mush. Two men had dispute
over the sizes of their feet and to settle it
made distinct impressions of their shoes,
side by side, in the sidewalk. Some of
those pavementS act, with pedestrian, like
bird lime on birds-holds them fast.

elbow many ministers do you suppose

of an alley yesterday, and wiped foam from
their nlustaches.

~
The Liberal league, at it's regular meet
ing last night, had an intelligent discus
sion of the subject of Cremation. These
weekly meetings are growing in interest
and the attendance, in spite of the warm
weather, has steadily increased. Young
men have formed the habit of spending one
night each week at the hall and the league
has been the means of inducing more than
one of them to read up on the live subjects
announced for discussion.
'Col. Ingersoll is one of the most singu-
lar persons. about some things 1 ever
knew" said an intimate acquaintance at
the West hotel yesterday. Zone thing is,
he will never accept a favor, unless from
very close friend. He had an invitation to
drive yesterday, but declined it. He won't
be put under obligation to anybody, and I
think he made resolution to that effect
while at Washington during the recent Re-
publican administration. Attentions are
showered on him wherever he goes, but he
puts them kindly, but firmly, aside"

The Excursion to Minnet0nka
Beach.

Yesterday was altogether and entirely I'M
suitable for trip to the lakes. An cleo
trio storm began about midnight on Satur-
day. and all through yesterday the rain
came down in the most direct style. Such
weather was grievous disappointment to
the many people of both Minneapolis and
ST. Paul who had elected to participate in
the excursion to Minnetonka beach, given
by the united DAM and Great Western
military bands. A morning and afternoon
train left each city and quite party went
out on each, probably in the
hope OF a change of weather,
in which they were disappointed. 1t
was only as the hour came for the return
that the clouds broke away and gave faint
