tilIery.

John A. Lunt, for many years a
prominent citizen Of ST. Paul, died very
suddenly at 80 O'Clock last night at
his home, S37 Selby avenue. Death was
entirely unexpected, Mr.. Lunt having
been in seemingly perfect health up to
a moment before his death. At the
hour named the family were preparing
to retire for the night, and Mr.. Lunt
had just taken clock from the mantel
to wind 1t, when he was seized with
what was at first thought to be a faint
ing spell, but which proved to be the
embrace of death. He reeled and fell,
striking heavily upon the floor. The
family rushed to his side, and en-
deavored to revive him, but death was
almost immediate, and Mr.. Lunt never
regained consciousness.
The deceased was about sixty-six
years Of age, and was born in Alex
andria, Va At the time Of the break
ing out Of the war Of the rebellion,
however, he was a resident of Chicago,
and, in spite Of the ties Of nativity,
served through the conflict in Battery
A, Of the Chicago Light artillery.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been made. but will be
announced later.

SAVIOR OF GAME
Added Relish to the White Bear Club
Dinner.

Saturday evening the White Bear
club held it's annual meeting at the St
Paul rooms OF the club, 1927 Robert
street. President William Sauer made
his report for the year and the old
board of officers were again reelected.
The White Bear club is a hunting and
fishing club and is strictly devoted to
these sports. 1t is now just a year old
and has twentyreight members. Sat-
urday night the club celebrated it's first
anniversary with a fish. duck and ven-
ison dinner. The chef of the club had
prepared an excellent four course din
ner for the occasion and all the fish and
game used had been caught or killed
by four members of the club who have
just returned from a hunting trip of
four weeks to Leech and Itasca lakes
Saturday nights dinner was such q
success that the club has decided on
80 44.oI.ts s4y ,S9a@ne uIniler on the
third Saturday; of each month at their
st. Paul rooms. President Sauer intro
duced Otto Mueller as the POSTMASTER
and he showed himself an adept. The

PORTRAIT BUTTONS ARE A FAD.
New development of the Greatest
Popular Craze.

Buttons are still the rage, and will
be. at least until after the close of the
presidential campaign. The manufac-
turers are on the alert for novelties,
and one enterpriSing man in Chicago
has found one that has already become
popular. 1t is button containing a
photograph Of a friend instead Of the
presidential candidate of your choice.
The photograph may be that of your
wife or sweetheart, and wearing 1t in
your buttonhole proclaims your affec-
ton and loyalty for her to all the
world
The fad has its disadvantages. There
are a great many girls who will not
allow their buttons to be worn but are
willing to add those of their male
friends to the collection of buttons
which every one of the girls Is now
amassing. And then it is rather en-
barrassing for the man. Unfeeling
friends say:
''Oh. 1 see you are for woman suf-
frage. Is that Belva Lockwoods
picture?'
But wearing the button in spite Of
such quips and jibes is accepted by
the loyal lover as proof of his devotion.
and he is willing to be a martyr for
her sake.
which bear the pictures of Mckinley
and Bryan. They are usually a trifie
larger, and the portrait is copied from
a photograph. 1t is rather a tedious
piece of work for the maker. and be-
cause of the small quantities which
must be ordered they are much more
expensive that the campaign button.
But still that makes little difference to
the girl who had determined to be-
guile every one of her male friends into
giving her one. She finds it easy to
obtain a large collection by merely re-
Questing them from her male friends.
who are flattered at the request. A
collection forms an album Of ones
friends which is capable of display on
the red felt mat upon which buttons
are mounted by collectors. and will
form an interesting reminder in the
future Of those who were her friends in

''I have met very large number Of Indians,
although I am wholly unacquainted with the
noble red man of the forest" said II. D.
Dayton of Wichita, Kan. There seems 10
be belief prevalent that Indians are brave.
Upon the contrary, as q rule, they are the
most cowardly people I know anything about.
An Indian never forgives and will always
,avenge an injury done him, but this does not
mean that he will seek his revenge upon the
man who did the injury. In fact, he is apt
be afraid of him. Ii the white storekeeper
takes the advantage of an Indian, for ex-
ample he ie afraid of the storekeeper. He
will lay low for an opportunity to get even,
and the first white man he sees who is UNI
protected and defenseless he will wreak his
revenge upon. The Indian character has the
least nobility Of any know Of

ADO ABOUT. A WATCH
Results in the Arrest of n Loving
Couple.

Couple.
Dolly Collins and Robert Bader were
arrested yesterday morning by Lieuts.
Babe and Pothen and locked up at the
central station on a charge of disorder
ly conduct. The police are extremely
reticent about the case, and say that
the parties were found occupying the
same apartment in a diSreputable re-
sort on jackson street. 1t is learned,
however, that the arrest of the twain is
due to the mysterious disappearance of
q watch, chain and lOcket The out
fit was worn by a man about town who
visited the resort at which Dolly Col
Inns lived last Tuesday evening. After
he had left he missed his jeweiry and
complained to the police. The officials
advised that a, warrant be taken out,
but as this would result in the public
becoming advised Of the affair, the man
about town objected. Word was sent
to the keeper of the resort that unless
the jewelry was returned by Friday the
place would have to be closed. Dolly
declared she didn't do it, and so the
watch, chain and locket did not come
back. The police ordered the resort
closed, and yesterday morning the wo-
man and Bader were arrested on a
charge of disorderly conduct.

They were discussing the administra-
ton of justice in this and other coun-
tries, when the major told this story to
illustrate claim made in the course of
his argument:
when out on the frontier trying to
disproVe the adage that a rolling stone
gathers no moss, became pretty well
acquainted with a rugged old pioneer
who came dangerously near to being
an absolute monarch in his community
All the legalized authority he exerted
was that of a justice of the peace, but
1t was astonishing how far he could
make it go. The whole judicial system
does not contemplate a greater power
than he exerted through his little Office.
ION one occasion a drunken rustler
wantonly shot and killed a hog that
happened to be the squire's property.
He sat right down and made affidavit
to the facts in the fender. Then he
stood up and swore himself. He drew
an affidavit for the arrest Of the Of
fender. Then he stood up and swore
himself in as a special constable,
pinned a cheap star on his breast
took his Winchester, mounted his horse
and went after the hog killer. The
special constable Of his own making got
the drop on his man and returned with
him as a prisoner.
Then you should have heard the
trial. The squire first read the charge
to the accused, who entered a plea of
not guilty Then the court stepped to
the front Of his own bench, which was
a rough redwood table, and conducted
the prosecution, asking himself ques-
tons and answering them, allowing the
prisoner to enter an objection or take
an exception whenever he desired.

the squire said that the fellow must
have fair trial. and appeared as
lawyer for the defense. So long as he
was enacting this role and the rustler
was doing the swearing it looked as
though he might be acquitted. But

As odd business partnership as ever i'm
agiHed or described by Charles Dickens ex-
lists in Sacramento street, above Dupont. The
parties to the business connection are a Chi
nese photographer and a japanese dentist.
They ontly occupy four small rooms on a
second floor which may be described as tooth
carpentry, waiting room, developing room and
gallery.
The dentist helps the photographer by COM
plimenting customers on their improved APP
pearance since their teeth have been fixed; the
artist tells his subjects they would look bet
ter with store teeth. In addition to this the
photographer mallets in the filling to incisors
and bicuspids and the dentist does an occa-
sional turn at photography. Their patrons
are Japanese and Chinese. The two crafts
men appear to be growing rich. as they ought
to be, by reason of embracing the ambidex-
ter.ty of a Yankee with the craft OF Ma
