him what should be done. He at first
advised inserting ''lost'' advertisement

but replied that the animal was val

so that advertising was hardly the
course to pursue. Mr.. Shepherd next
thought of notifying the A. D. I. Office
and securing a corps OF messenger boys
TO scour the city. While we were de-
batting that method of procedure bril-
liant idea struck him. Why didn't |
think of it BEFORE he exclaimed sud-
denly, why. apply to the police. to be
sure The thought was acted upon at
once, and Mr.. Shepherd drove me to
police headquarters post haste. Arriv.
ing there, stated my business to gen
tleman in blue uniform, who L learned
was Capt. Harvey. He is man of posi-
erful physique, deep, penetrating eyes
that peered at me from beneath buShy
eyebrows. He did not allow any sign
of emotion to betray itself. But at
length asked me what color my buffalo
was. replied dark brown, where
upon he went to closet and bringing
out fur coat, asked:

and not buffalo oyercoat l had lost.
This seemed to nettle him. However.
he turned to another officer and COM
manded sharply: Enquire of the sub
stations if lost buffalo bull has been

operator talking to the captains of differ
ent portions of the city, and within less

nothing had been seen of him. The
captain then walked TO blackboard

said. | returned my thanks, but at Mr..

interview with

HE was busy, but was finally granted
an audience with him through Mr..
Shepherds kindly solicitation again.

BRILLIANT POLICE WORK
Which Recovered for Col. Jones the
Prize Bull of His
Herd.
In His Exuberant Joy, Col. Jones
Pays a Tribute to the
Police
And Details the Capture, Showing the
Inside Working OF the
Force.

As has been sometimes intimated, the
magnificent police force of which Min
neapolis is so justly proud, does not al
ways allow the public to become IA
miliar with the work of its departments,
and the police of hiding its light under
a bushel is pursued to length that is
credi;able to the mOdesty of the mem
bers of the force, perhaps, but is eXaS-
pcrating to the newsgatherer. An eX-
ample of this utter disregard for
personal glorification came to
notice last evening. The reporter
whose duty it is to do what
is commonly referred TO and
understood as "pOlice work" in the
GLOBE turned in an item briefly detail
ing the loss and recovery of buffalo.
This piece of descriptive work, in an
entirely too brief style, told how, on ar
irving here Sunday, Col. c. j. Jones,
proprietor of the buffalo herd, had lost
his pet bull, known as Moses" from
his famous bull-ruSheS in the Saskatche-
wan valley; and how brilliant piece of
detective work had restored him.
AS it was apparent that the Mime
apoliS police force had with its usual
modesty refrained from seeking any
praise for its meritOriOuS service,
GLOBE reporter was sent TO interview
Col. Jones at The West hotel, and
learned from him the particulars of the
manner in which the wonderful recOv-
cry was effected. That gentlemen had
retired. although the hour was early,
and explained that he had been worn
ont and almost Frustrated by the strain
upon his nervous system, caused by
anxiety and the excitement of the day.
When appraised that he would be simply

Jones at once expressed not only will

opportunity to show his gratitude to his
benefactorS. fortunately too re-
marked the colonel, Il made some
notes and preserved some memoranda
that will enable me to furnish you with

count of the wonderful work of your

ME in the first place, to express my admit
ration OF the splendid discipline, the COM

to testify to the bravery and mental
acumen of the men themselves. | have
often read of the wonderful achieve
ments of the police of Paris and New
York. but never until now have | had
the opportunity of personally witness
ing the workings of a great police force.
The buffalo arrived about 9o'clock, and
it was only about two hours later when
they were turned into the lot, that it
was discovered that Moses" my old
est aud most valued bull, was missing.

LADY CHAPERONE
Would Guide Minneapolis Girls
Through European Tour.

\ lady recently advertised in one Of
the Minneapolis daily papers for sit
uation as chaperone, stating that she
possessed the requisite qualifications,
and, for a reasonable compensation,
would take a party of young ladies
abroad, show them the continent and
bring them back safely. The PROPOSE
ton seemed a novel one and an inQulsl-
tive young lady called at the West
hotel, where the advertiser was staying.
and inquired if the notice really meant
what it said.
Certainly" was the reply, lit is a
regular business in the East. There
are several ladi in New York who
make short trips to Europe several
times year. They furnish satisfac-
tory references as to character, and
many parents find it quite convenient
to send their daughters abroad for
few weeks and not be obliged to take
the whole family on their account"
How many usually go in party?''
was asked.
About ten, make good party, who
can amuse themselves and not be too
great care upon their chaperone,' re-
piled the lady. How did you come to
make a business of this. and do you
like it?'' questioned the Minneapolis
girl.
Il suppose the business grew out of
the necessity which forces many women
to earn living by some sort of work,
she replied. Il received good educa-
ton in this country, and was sent to
Europe to add the finishing touches.
On my return | found that my father
had failed in business, and | must earn
my living. Every sort of occupation
seemed to be OvercrOwded, and | could
find no opening. At last l went as
companion to a couple of ladies who
wished to travel. During the trip [
learned many things i'll regard to points
of interest, hotels and railroad lines.
On my return, as an experiment. L TOOK
a small party for fourteen weeks
trip. The experiment was so success
full. that tried it again and again. 1t
was so profitable, that, last year | was
able to travel for my own amusement"
In the course of conversation the lady
said that she had not been able to get
UP party in Minneapolis, as the city
was too new to have many European
travellers among its inhabitants, but
that many had seemed interested, and
she would probably be successful next
year.
She was a young woman, apparently
about twenty-fOur years old. refined in
manner. well dressed and Intelligent.
She was evidently thorough American
girl, who preferred to shape circum-
stances rather than to allow herself to
be forced into poverty by circumstances,
and her remarks were interesting. as
giving one a glimpse of the curious
ways in which a living may be made.

ity of 10,5 500 barrels per day, or over 100000
barrels per year. To feed these mills requires 49,
100000 bushels of wheat annually. Our PILLS
BURY mill has the largest capacity of any mill
in the world. consuming over $4,000 bushels of
wheat perday. 1t is supplied with the best machin-
cry known to the milling trade. No expense has
been spared to insure perfection in all details, and
it is the most perfect and costly mill on the globe.
These mills could feed two cities as large as
New York.
We guarantee our 'Pillsburys Best to be the
choicest flour made in the United States. 1t will
yield from 40 to go pounds more bread to the bar
rel than flour made from winter wheat It is the
most nutritious and healthy, as it is absolutely
pure nothing but the choicest hard spring wheat
being used in it's manufacture. Minnesota and
Dakota wheat has the largest proportion of gluten
and phosphates of any grown in this country, and
by our improved new Roller Process we extract
from the wheat all it's nutritious qualities, instead
of letting them 60 into inferior grades of flour, as
is the case under the old process Of milling.
