Almost every boy and girl can tell what a
lady bug looks Ike, and there are few who
have not heard the old rhyme,
Lady bug lady bug, fly away home;
Your house is on fire, your children will burn.
1t is doubtful if any of our youthful readers
know, however, just why the bug is called
lady bug or why her house is always supposed
TO be on fire. Following is bit of history on
the subject originally CLEANED for the benefit
of Harper's Young People;
Lady bugs are supposed to appear suddenly
on st. Barnaby's day the llth of June, and
for that reason were first called St. Barnaby's
bees Now, st. Barnaby was noted for his
good works, and for administering comfort
TO the afflicted, and it was thought that he
sent the bugs, and taught them to be useful
70 man by destroying plant lice and other in
sects that fed upon trees and Towering
shrubs.
In other places they are known as Our
Ladybird," evidently called after the Virgin
Mary; also golden bug, May bug, blessed
bee, golden KNAPP, lady COW, barn bee, cush
COW ladies and dandy COWS.
:. One of the old rhymes says:
g.t5y bug, lady bird, sigh thy way home;
Thy house is on FIRE thy children all roam,
Except little Nan, who sits in her pan.
Weaving gold lace as fast rs she can.
Thea fly to the east and fly to the west
, Wy to those that love best.
There are several species of these little
bugs. and ell OF them are said to be useful in
destroying insects 50 small that the human
eve can not see them.
But no matter whether they do good or
not. think there are very few children who
would wilfuIy Kill a lady bug, or forget to
say whenever they find one:
Lady bug, lady bug, fly away home;
Your house is On fire, your children vii burn

4 Small Typewriter.

A typewriter, so diminutive in size as al
most to justify the term pocket typewriter, "
has recently been invented. Its extreme
dimensions are four inches by three inches,
and its weight is less than four and half
ounces. Yet it carries all the characters
necessary in ordinary correspondence on the
inner edge of the revolving disk, which forms
the principal feature of the machine. The
whole frame travels across the paper, which
consequently may be of any size, and roll,
er, to which spacing check is fitted, secures
an absolute straightness and evenness in the
line Of printing.

DROWNING ACCIDENTS.
One Fatal and One Narrow Es-
cape From Death.


The body of Henry Willis, the colored
man who is said to have been drowned
in the canal of the mills Tuesday night,
has not been recovered. Willis lived
on Third street, between Sixth and
Seventh avenues south, and was en-
ployed as hostler in Goes livery stable.
He was with party of friends. consist
ing of Lem Hunters, William Houston,
j. Venirable, coiored, and Jock McCurdy
Nora Evert and Miss Barker White.
The party was engaged in fishing, ana
Willis, divesting himself of his clothing,
plunged in for swim. He was seen to
20 under, and came to the surface OF the
water three times before he sank finally.
A boat containing one of the negroes Is
SAID to have been near where he sank,
so that help could have easily been
given, but no effort was made to
save him. 1t has been intimated
that the affair was merely a hoax, but
Willis friends called yesterday on the
chief of police to ask that the canal
should be dragged, and insisted that the
story of the drowning was straight. :.
A boy named Hubert Lemere. son OF
an expressman who resides at I'LL Third
street north. fell from the logs into the
river at Twentieth avenue north
and Immediately sank. John An
derson, an employee of the boom
company, fshed him out with
a pike-pole, and succeeded in resustl-
eating him. While he was trying. to
revive the lad, some one stole his watch
from his vest. The boys father made
the loss good.
The man who was drowned at Lake
Minnetonka. while going from Wayzata
to Excelsior Tuesday night in yacht
was John Quigley. employed by d.
Kelly, of Minneapolis.

The King and Hall Cases Con-
tinued Again.
The droll farce which is going on be-
hind the doors of the police commits
sion may turn into tragedy before
the final ring for the cur
tain. The ostensible business be-
fore the commission yesterday
was the continuation of the trial of the
charges against Detectives King and
Hall. The only testimony taken in this
matter was that of Capt. Helm, who was
examined as to to the manner in which
the accused reported at night, he being
in charge of the central station at that
time. 1t was reported that Mayor
Babb called Mr.. GjertSen to the chair,
and moved that the men be dismissed.
he being satisfied of their misconduct,
but Mr.. Guile declined to second the
motion, whereupon the matter went
over until next Monday. Supt. Brack-
EFT demanded the production of the
my steriOus Wansch affidavit, and de-
clared he would have the accusations
investigated if there was any power to
have it done. Some lively repartee fol-
lowed between the superintendent and
Commissioner Gjertsen followed, in
which the blonde commissioner did not
get the best of it, but was. according to
one report, fought to a stand
still in very few minutes.
The commission will hardly grant
Mr.. Brackets demand for aninvestiga-
tlon of the Wansch affidavit charges.
1t is supposed to accuse the superin-
tendent of making an offer to release
her for a consideration, but those who
have seen it do not remember whether
it accused him of taking money or not.
The woman Is supposed further to make
charges against the superintendent's
moral character of nature which
would be decidedly damaging if proven,
but which are denounced by those who
are cOgnlzant of their nature as false
and infamous. Whoever has the afti-
davit is evidently afraid to make it pub
lie, and the furtbest that has been vent
ured is to hint at its nature in
an indirect way. The supporters
of Supt. Bracket who have been
strengthened by this rather shady
effort to undermine him are determined
to get at the bottom facts Immediately.
They look upon it as part of a con-
spiracy to GUST him in favor of some
other candidate. Commissioner Gjert-
sen declines to talk about the mys-
FERROUS affidavit, or about the political
feature of the case, involving his al
legged promise to Gov. Merriam to work
in harmony with Mayor Babb on the
commission.

GOT OFF EASY.
The Scheme to Beat the Races
and Its Outcome.

The prosecution of the six young men
arrested for being engaged i'm con-
spiracy to tap the Western Union tele-
graph wires running to the Columbia
pool rooms, and by specializing on the
KIN oWledge of the outcome of the races
thus gained in advance to become sud-
denly rich, rather simmered down
in the municipal court yesterday,
and none of the accused were hung or
sent to the penitentiary for life. 1t
appears that the lineman "sguealad"
while he was engaged in tapping the
wires,s and informed Supt. McMichael
of the scheme. He was told to keep on
with the work, and a trap was laid for
the conspiratorS, who were arrested be-
fore they hadIthe opportunity to beat the
pool room out of dollar. EdrOy Kill
roy, George W. Wilsey and Frank Dunn
pleaded guilty and were fined S25.
Frank Ward and Frank Durham stood
trial. Ward got clear, but the court
held Durham as guilty. as it appeared
that he had furnished the money for the
instruments and apparatus for tapping
the line. He was fined S75. The warrant
charges him with tapping the line,
however, SO j. M. r eeSe, his attorney,
will probably take an appeal, as he did
nothing more to help along the scheme
than to furnish the money, S6.OS, all

A LITTLE STORY
Which Gave the Key to the Situa-
ton Quite Plainly.


The police commission row has been
productive of some good stories of
the political methods of earnest,
thoughtful and consistent Republi-
cans, but the latest and best
is on Commissioner Gjertsen.
Some time since the Columbia aSso-
citation appointed committee of SIX
members to hold conference with the
police commission in reference to re-
Taxation of the present puritanlcal en-
forcement of the ordinances which are
having tendency to initiate against
the business prosperity OF the city.
Upon this committee were some men
who have occupied high positions
of trust and confidence, both po-
litical and otherwise. They first
waited upon Commissioner Guile,
and were assured by him that he
was in no way responsible for the pres
ent condition of affairs, and was more
than anxious to see change in accord
ance with the desires of a great majority
of the people. Commissioner Gjertsen
was next visited at his grocery store on
Fist street, and he invited the gentle
men to his parlor for the conference.
After the spokesman of the party had
StoUCu db OOijS tuC obJCSO VA Sesii-
ing upon him, he said in reply: II can
in no way better illustrate the situa-
ton than by telling story. During
the late war captain of certain regi-
ment was seriously wounded in an en-
gagement. and he ordered his
subordinate officer to 60 to dis
tant straw-stack, and bring him
some straw to make bed
upon which he might comfortably pass
the night. The officer did as COM
handed, but as he approached the stack
he was stopped by guard. The or
derby stated his mission, but was in
formed by the guard that he could have
no straw. He reported to his wounded
captain, and he (the captain) said: oh,
go and tell him am Captain so and SO,
and was wounded to-day The officer
again returned to the guard. at the
straw stack, only to be refused
again, and he reported to his wounded
superior. The captain thought mo-
ment, and then remarked: AHA, see
i have the key to the situation. Here
is dollar. Slip it in the guards hand
and ask him to study the grandeur of
the Northern star for while. The or
derby did as instructed, and while the
guard elevated his gaze and studied as
tronomy he got all the straw he needed
for his captain"
Here the commissioner paused, and,
glancing significantly at the committee,
suddenly bid his callers adieu.

ALL SORTS,

The Evening Guesser made painful
stab at the June tax settlement last
night, and succeeded in making more
errors than the base ball team on an off
day. Nearly every item was wrong, and
the total of taxes coming TO the city was
figured out little matter of $4,000 less
than it really is, and other bulls of
similar nature were made. A great
snap is evening journalism.
The biggest boodler on the turf at
present is City Treasurer Moulton, or
to know what there is in it, you know.
1t is queer the Star does not publish
the Wansch affidavit, if it thinks it
worth a column of space day. The
document was offered the GLOBE on
Monday and declined.
