BETTER BIZ ON GUARD
Against a Gallant Major Who Has
a Little Game.


Little Game.
The police officials are anXions that
business men and others likely to be
caught be advised of a fellow who is
supposed to be working the Twin Cities.
About Jan. Maj. E. B. Archer regis
tered at one Of the leading hotels in
Winnipeg, claiming to be from Victoria,
b. G. Simultaneous with his appear
ance an advertisement appeared in the
Winnipeg papers announcing "Rare
Opening" fer partner who would put
up $1,000. only half of which would have
to be paid down. While waiting for
suckers" the major put in his time
canvaSsing the town and securing
permission to put in the office
or parlors of the hotels large
music box. The permits were used
to entice StorekeeperS to sign con
tracts for advertising which was to be
placed Oh the boxes. So successful was
he that about 500 worth of contracts
were secured. 70 those who answered his
lads" he showed the contracts and en-
larged on the great possibilities or the
scheme. He gave as his reason for want
ing partner his desire to devote all his
time to soliciting advertisements. The
thing looked plausible, and two or three
were ready to buy a half interest. While
the arrangements were being made the
major suddenly left town. His disap-
pearance caused some regret among
those who had advanced him small
loans, and others VINO advanced money
on what turned out to be bogus checks.

kind as used by the major in Winnipeg,

officials here to be on the lookout for
the swindler. While IN Winnipeg Maj.
Archer used his connection with a Ma

reported that so plausible is the major
that he landed one of the police officials
in Winnipeg for $500. The gallant ma

THREE FOR LARCENY.

one Tor stealing atch ana Two
for Thuggism.
Fred earle was found guilty yester-
day of being an accomplish in stealing
the watch of George Steyer at dance
i'll Gray's hall on st. Peter street. The
occasion was New Years ball, and
the men were taking drink at the bar
when the watch disappeared. The case
was clear one against earle, as he ad
mitted to the police that he had assisted
in the larceny. S. Donnclly made his
maiden speech in the prosecution Of the
case, and it is hard to tell which greater
felt the gravity of the position-the
prosecutor or the unfortunate prose
cuted man. Garlic said he was born and
raised in this city, and he is nineteen
years old. Judge Kelly sentenced the
boy to the reformatory at st. Cloud.
Joseph Murphy and Thomas Wilson
pleaded guilty to an Indictment for lar
ceny. They were accused of smuggling a
man with coupling pin and relieving
him of $50 in cash, together with a
watch and chain. They will be SEN
fenced this morning.

He uses colored crayons and black

few magic strokes while he tells some
ridiculous story which they illustrate.
The oddities of public men are bit off,
the funny side of current events is
pointed out. and the wit, and pathos as
well, of real everyday life are sketched
by one who is witty philosopher as
we'll as genial artist. Besides the en-
ioyment of the entertainment, Mr..
Beard really reveals i'll his performance
the secret of the cartoonist's art, shows
how his mind works as well as the way
his fingers use their cunning An en-
tertainment so much out of the ordinary
will no DOUBT attract crowded house.

One Way to Fetter Folding. Bed. /.
Ttfca Ohsarvar

"Every few days we read about people being
caught IN folding beds and strangled or crushed
10 death or rendered cripples for life," said a
mechanic. 1T is easy TO vent this. Every
folding bed can be easily fitted with hooks or
bolts that WIZ fasten into unobtrusve staples
or sockets IN the floor, and make it impossible
10 close The bed without unfastepinc them or
pulling UP the floor. Every one of them should
have some protection OF this nature.
"A friend OF mine who travels a good deal
and often stops AT hotels where folding beds
are used, carii"s a strong nickeled chain like
those used In hanging window weights. in his
valise, and at either end there is a good stuul
screw eye. The chain Is about six feet long.
and taxes up scarcely any room. When lie
strikes hotel with folding beds, he lets the
bed down, screws one OF the screw eyes In the
moor on one side of tile bed at the foot, carries
the chain over the frame and uncer the mat
tress TO The other side, draws The chain taut
and Sinks the other screw eye In the floor
Ihis method would not be a good one
10 use in everyday practice. but my friend
adopted 1t after he had AN ad-
venture with one foIding-bed that nearly cost
him his life. Nobody should purchase a fold
lne-bed that is not provided with some attach
Inenl that will locI lt SO that 1t cannot be
closed by accident. They are as dangerous as
unl0aded gups."

ANTIQUITY OF WIGS.
Hannibal Is Said to Have Worn One

A passage ia folybius has been cited TO prove

"There was a brief tIme second or two.

Two Southern planters, one from Alabama
and the other from Louisiana. met one day in
New Orleans after the war. One. the colonel,
had been in The Confederate army, bur the
other. the Judge, from some physical disability,
had remained at home and had managed to
save small portion of his fortune from the
wreck-enough to live on comfortably In his
declining years, but the colonel haos lost
everything: In fact, was in straitened circum-
stances. The Ju0ge greeted his friend warmly
and insisted on lie colonel's dining with him,
which Invitation the latter gladly accepted.
Accordingly. after partaking of a few drinks
ny way OF appetiZers at the bar In the ST.
Charles Hotel, they adjourned TO a fashionable
restaurant. After a preliminary mint julep or
so the Judge called for the bill of fare and The
waiter quickly complied with his request,
placing before that gentleman menu with
wine list attached not printed. but written out
i'm a very fine hand. The Judge and bis friend
selected certain dishes and gave liberal order
for wine with every course. The Iepast over,

called TO the walter for the bill. The latter,
seeing no preparation for departure, thought lie
meant the pill OF fare, which was accordingly
brought. The Judge solemDly adjusted his
glasses and commenced 10 add it up on both
sides, making total of over 500.
The colonel, who during tins operation had
been nodding of 10 slerp, was awakened by
loud exclamation from the Judge, and on in

loud voice: "EXtortion, sir! They have charged

and l Will not submit 10 IT," The colonel.
rising and laying one hand on his friends
breast, said in a persuasive manner: "There
Is no doubt, Judge, that it Is a swinde OF the

He was thin old man with chin whiskers

woman with bIrdcage on her lap, and as the
