NEAR ENoUGH.

During the campaign of certain Reg
iment at Santa Rosa the pickets, as is
apt to be the case during short seasons
Of Inactivity, found considerable difficulty
in preventing the men from absenting
themselves without leave. In the anec-
dote related below, the soldier on picket
duty showed want of honor but he had
practical knowledge of medical lore
quite applicable to his needs:
One particularly sultry evening, while
the sentinels were pacing their beats,
their mouths dry and parched, and their
bodies almost overpowered with heat,
and wondering if the pirates in the
mess-tent would drink every last drop OF
lemonade before the "reliei" came. one of
the guards observed private approach
ing, who was staggering along under the
combined load of much convivity and an
enormous watermelon under each arm.
"Who goes there2"
"Er-frsn," responded the truant
advance, friend, and give the counts
ersign."
"Haint got no countersign," amiably
replied the private, "but I'll give yer er-
warmelliH."
Pretty soon the officer of the day came
around and said to the sentinel, who was
absorbed in munching big piece of wat
ermelon stuck on the end of his bayonet.-
''Did Perkins pass you just now"
"Yes, SIR"
did he give the countersign2" inquir-
es the lieutenant. taking bite himsc
as the man presented arms.
"Well, no, sir" said the sentinel, con
fdentially. ",he password is 'Choeru.
bu, he said Watermelon So I pass
him srd put The ofber ba'f in your ten.
Did. eh9' mu-ea The iii n Hun

tar enough from true soldier
conduct.

How q Young Lady's Foot Blocked .
Railroad.

A young lady took q car which
brought her to the foot of California
street, and there took "A seat on the dunn
my car, which bore her TO the vicinity
OF her home on OctavIa street. As she
left the Car and WAS crossing the track
on the southern side, her foot slipped
and turned and was caught fast In the
track where the wire cable passes. Some
imperfection i'll the roadbsd had caused
the narrow aperture 10 expand, and the
young girls narrow foot was intrapped.
The engineer of the east bound dummy
saw the obstacle on the road in season
tp check his swift-approaching car, and
alighted with the conductor and several
passengers of investigating mind, who
endeavored to release the slender foot,
but their efforts were vain. Another
car and another brought up IN funeral
row, and constant re-enforcements In
the way of passing pedestrians eheered
and enlivened the scene. An attempt was
made to pry the iron rails forming the
cable channel further apart, but they
firmly resisted all efforts. Everybody
had o suggestion: Push your foot
forward; Pull it back :" "Tip it
sideways" "Lift your heel higher"
The unhappy girl was almost fainting,
but she persevered in her efforts to ex-
tricate the offending member. By this
time travel ON the road had virtually
ceased. The last car had long ago
passed, and was steadily approaching to
fall into line at the rear of the singular
procession. Downtown passengers fret
ted and fumed, or slowly climbed the
hill in disgust. On every street corner
groups Of waiting people berated ths
laxity Of street-car management. Re-
porters from all the downtown dailies
were proceeding westward to learn the
meaning of the large crowd reported to
have assembled in the Western addition.
From the scene of the accident ENJOYS
had been dispatched to the railroad
shops to bring appliances for taking up
q section of the road. At this juncturs
tall, brawny Englishman, in the dress
Of . mechanic, forced his way through
the throng, and, in CHEEKY voice,
marked by the Derbysbire dialect, asked:

Of Hindoos cannot taste animal food

Similar effects have obliged individu-

Pereira mentions the case of an English
boy who had an inourabls aversion 70
mutton:
"Hc could not eat mutton in any form.
The popularity was supposed to be
owing to caprice, but the mutton was re-
peatsdly disguised and given to him I'M

result of producing violent vomiting and
diarrhea.
"And from the severity of the effects,
which were in fact those of virulent
poison, there can be little doubt that, il
the use Of mutton had been persisted in,
it would soon have destroyed the boys
life."

LATE MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.
Bromley Wins the Three-Mi1e Rink
Race.

The three-mile race at the Oak Lake
roller rink last night was we'll attended
and was fairly interesting, although some
what one-sided. The starters were B. Brom-
ley of Iowa, John Alexander of Chicago.
Law Morgan of Minneapolis, W. Smith OF
Milwaukee and Fred 0. Sheldon of St.
Louis. Bromley forged ahead at the start
and soon opened a gap, with Sheldon second
and Alexander third. The others trailed
with Morgan in the rear. When
Bromley had covered eight laps
he was fully One-half lap
ahead of the last man, and at the end of
the first mile he had gained full lap on
Morgan, who was bravely struggling behind
and alone. When he had skated one-and-a
half miles, Sheldon fell down and withdrew
from the contest and at the end of two-and-
a-half miles Morgan followed suit, and it
was then that Bromley caught up with AL
exander, who had been bothered and i'm
peded by Smith, who swayed from side to
side early in the race so that
Alexander could not pass him.
The last few laps were intensely exciting.
Bromley struggled in vain to pass Alex
ander, and the enthusiasm elected by the
squirting lasted until the close. Bromley won
first. Alexander second and Smith third.
Time 1911 2-5.

AN IMPORTANT ADMISSION.

The Minneapolis publication entitled The
Tale of Two Cities, which was issued with
a malicious intent to defame st. Paul, but
which has turned out to be such an excel
lent advertisement for this city that it's au-
thors are regretting the day they ever un-
dertook the job, contains the following par
agraph, which is an admission that st. Paul
Is the railway center of the Northwest. 1t
says:
Why, then, should railroads make their
termini at st. Paul, and content themselves
with track and transfer facilities for Mime
apolis upon lines already established here?
Why should railroad shops and general offices
converge at mere way station between
Minneapolis and Lake Superior or Lake
Michigan? One thing is certain-the ship
pers and business men in Minneapolis under
stand the position of affairs. They know
they hold the key to the situation. The rail-
roads which come to Minneapolis and identify
themselves with the men who are creating
these great industries and directing the course
of this immense bulk of freight will receive
the business. Those who are content to stop
in st. Paul with their terminal appurtenances
and send clerk to drum the city for bus i
ness will certainly be ign ored.

fident.

GAS REDUCTION.

A card from the Gas company in to-day's
GLOBE makes the pleasing announcement
that there will be reduction in the price
of gas on and after the LIST day of April
next reduction of so cents on the thou
sand cubic feet and an additional reduction
of SO cents more to customers who pay
their bills by the 10th of the ensuing month.
This is equivalent to a reduction of one
third from the present rates. We do not
understand why the company postpones
putting the reduced schedule into effect
nearly four months hence, nor will the
public stop to bubble about it..
The news that reduction is to be one of
the things of the near future will fall so
gratefully upon the public ear that in the
general rejoicing there will be no DISPOSE
ton to quarrel about the little delay in the
matter. So far as the public is concerned
an important point has been gained when
any sort of reduction has been made. And
so far as the company is concerned it
will probably discover that the reduction is
a profitable move. The cheaper gas can be
furnished the more people there will be to
use it. The increase in custom will more
than compensate for the reduction in price.

THE FAsTIDIoUs PREMIER.

Secretary BAYARD is having a hard
time of it. In addition to his trouble with
his boy of plebian disposition he is having
sorrow from another source. Mr.. TRAY
ERs, the New York banker, who is cele-
brated for his wit and his stammering, has
always been great admirer of the secretary
of state and has been in the habit of attend
ing national conventions and getting in
good deal of work for his favorite. Re-
Gently Mr.. TRAvERs invited the head of
the state department to dinner and was
much mortified when that dignitary de-
clined to accept the invitation. 1t is now
explained that Mr.. BAYARD got huffy be-
cause he wasn't invited to stew the terra
pin. The trouble with Mr.. BAYARD is
that he is too aristocratie for Democrat
and too democratic for an aristocrat.
