The Encam pment Souvenir Badges.

There has been some talk about the failure of
delegates to the recent G. A. h. encampnent
at Detroit to receive souvenir badges such as
are usually provided by the local committee.
Statements telegraphed from St Louis and
published in The STAR commented on the fact
that what purported to be official badges were
freely offered for sale on the streets and init
mated that Boston engraver, who had the
contract. obtained through the relationship be
bore Gen. Feazey and Gen. Ager permission
to lssue an unlimited number of badges Gen
NeaZey Is somewhat indignant over this state
ment, as he knew nothing OF the badges, and
during the encampment issued letter forbid
ding the issuing OF any badge as official" In
a letter written to Mr.. l.. s. Emery OF this city,
assistant adjutant general, Gen. Veazey says
that he never saw or heard of the engraver or
anybody else connected with the souvenir and
that he never authorized or assumed to author
ize the sale OF giving away of any genuine or
counterfeit souvenir or badge of any kind or fog
any purpose. The delay in distributing the
genuine souvenir badges, Mr.. Emery stated to
STAR reporter, was due to the fact that the
die made by order of the Detroit committee
had been broken and the badges could not be
made in time They will be struck of and
sent to the delegates.

Marrying q Widow

By Bob Burdette.
No. son, don't marry q widow. She is too
calculating and loving by arithmetic is not
romantic Real love should not have any more
sense than a bottle of soda water suddenly
tapped. 1t should sizz and fuss Just like there
wasat nything else on earth. An the electric
spark from the heart has not been tempered
with.
The widow is all right, and she is pretty
but don't marry her. The idea Of a second
hand heart appears hat and insipid-no foam.
No, son; don't make pawnbroker shop out of
your trusting heart. IL you do marry, teach
your wife that you, who gained her heart under
the pa.e glitter Of the milky way. where the
restless young meteor chases its love across the
heavens-I say, convince her that you were at
the barber shop until l a. m. There is no
memory SO pleasing as the knowledge that
your wife knows you would not lie!
But the widow is too fly. She will kiss her
second edition at 7:45 O'Clock p. m. Il will be
Q duty kiss, not like the gush OF the gevsers of
the Rockies, but tired and lethargic She will
not coil about you like the helpless and enticing
ivy. while her golden tresses wander over YOUR
Z. l. w. collar. She will kiss you by geometri-
cal measurement, and say at parting:
''George, dear, IL is Just 7:45 o'clock. It will
take you just 1--WE minutes to get drink, twenty
minutes to get shaved and i've minutes for q
shine. Here is o dollar. dear. Bring back 65
cents and return at $40 O'Clock, please. e. Ne
shall have bridal calls tonight"
No, boy, don't marry a commercial collece
Get hold of a girl who thinks what Won saw Ia
true. and ii will take her fifteen years 70 And
out what Q mistake she has made.

Another reason Tor this rule il that complaint
nad been made 20 the railroad officials by per-
sons who come 20 the trains by regular en-
frances that those Who come In by the other
ways had an advantage in securing the choice

Damage Caused by the Recent Storm IN
Minnesota.
ST. CLOUD, MINI, August 15.-The storm
proves to have been much more serious than at
first supposed. Hail first began to fall when the
storm, which came from the north, reached
Samuel Gilman's farm, about three miles north
east of Sank Rapids, and from there almost to
Elk river, in the extreme southern part Of
SEerburne county, distance Of about forty
miles, it was perfect fury.
In Benton county its width varied from one
half mile to a mile and half, and q it began
to spend its force it broadened out to about
four miles wide. All corn and standing grain
in its path were utterly ruined, the immense
stones crushing them into the ground, and the
grain IN shocks also suffered severely, that
being shocked in parallel rows with no caps
being nearly threshed.
The grained shock with caps wns not
damaged so severely. Many men in hay and
harvest fields who were caught were badly
bruised and cut about the head by the devastat-
ing downfall of hail
Twenty hours after the storms passage Capt.
VIM. Smith of Minden brought to this city q
huge lump of snow and ice which he had
picked up on his farm. When he started from
home the monster was about two feet in
diameter. No conservative estimate can be
made OF the damage accomplished, but it must
OF necessity reach into the thousands.
WIILMAkK, MIMI, August IA destructive
hail storm passed over the eastern portion Of
this county Thursday evening. AS near can
be ascertsined it commenced about four miles
northeast of kandiyoki station and extended in
4 southwesterly direction about six miles and
was several miles wide. There was some stand
ing grain in lite path. which was pounded into the
ground and entirely destroyed. Grain in shocks
was threshed somewhat in places.
The storm was furious and rooted up trees
and broke down sheds and the hail broke
number Of window psnes, but otherwise no
serious damage is reported. The hail fell thick
and fast and Is said to have covered the ground
about at kandiyoki station to the depth Of two
inches The storm lasted only twenty minutes.
SLAYToN, MINI. August 15.-Michael Mshon,
prosperous farmer residing nine miles south
of here, was killed by lightning Thursday even
ing while embarrassing his team. One of the
horses was also killed.

THE WATERMELON,
How to Eat One-The Best Preparation He.
ing to Steal It

How TO Eat One-The Best Preparation BE-
ing to Steal It
From the Macon TeieGraph.
What's the best way to eat Watermelon
inquired a citizen.
That depends, said another. "Henry Grady
once gave his method, and il was q good one for
eating melons honestly obtained. but il you
want to eat a melon 20 get the full flavor of it
imagine yourself a boy again, and. after sneak.
ing into patch, crawl over the field until you
get the one you want and then get over the
fierce with il and sit down in a corner. Then
break it open and eat while watching through
the cracks Of the fence for the owner of the
patch. Gradys idea was to go out in the cool
of the morning before the sun dried the dew,
thump the melons I'LL one gave back the proper
sound, and then. with a short-bladed knife,
give a rake all around il the long way. Throw
away the knife and give the melon a whack on
your knee. The melon parts and leaves all the
heart on one hall. Take that heart out with
your fingers and eat it. But i. can never taste
as good as If stolen. Some people slice the
melons the short way and then put the slices
on plates. To my mind that's a finniky way.
The old-fashioned long slice is one OF the best
ways after all"
chow can you tell ripe melon by thump-
ing it! They ell thump alike to me-" This
from young man, city raised.
Its the easiest matter in the world" said a
man who, al some time of his life, had risen
with the lark and plowed his task of burrows,
land any man vino has ever lived on a farm
will never make mistake. You are right
about the humping sound being nearly the
same always, and, unless melon Is real green,
and an experienced eve can tell that without
humping il. there is but the very slightest
difference in the sound, that is, apparently.
But TO the man Of experience there is u big DIFF
ference. L can tell exactly 10y a couple of
thumps whether a melon is part ripe, little
way for thosewho have not mastered the art of
humping is to scratch the rind the least bit
The rrnd of a ripe melon is tender and easily
scratched and turns dark Immediately. The
rind on green melon is tough and requires
several minutes to turn darn"

A story is told of how Mile. vacarssco. the

years ago Mile. Vacaresco happened to be at
Arachon, France, aud one evening she dined

was priest who aspired to the episcopal chair
She was asked whether she could ait and write
some poetry appropriate to the occasion, it
being known that she had talent for vernfy-

young lady, and the company at once granted
her ten minutes. She took up pen and within
the appointed time managed to get up twenty
lines OF very pretty rhyme, which was very
highly applauded.
This came under the notice Of the Queen o
Roumania, who was 80 well pleased that sh
