How'll you work it?"
Easy enough
And with the girl Kit listening to
every word from the other side of the
wall the strangers proceeded to give the
details of a plot which had been hatch
ed weeks before and many miles away.
Fort Yuba was the first of the five forts
ON the paymaster's route. His safe
would contain eight or ten thousand
dollars. His usual escort was q SER
geant and six men. With his clerk and
the driver of the ambulance there
would be nine men. all well armed and
all ready to fight in defense Of the
money. Eight rough and ready men
might ambuscade and get away with a
dozen soldiers. but there was to be no
killing II it could be avoided. In case
of q fight some of the outlaws would
go down as well. They wanted the
money instead of the bullets, and Jim
Finch thought it could be got without a
man being grazed. When he had given
the details Robertson extended his
hand and said:
I'm your man-shake!"
Good! l knew you had sand!"

bar the rear door and secure the heavy

The supreme court of Maryland has
decided that the purchaser of berth
or section in sleeping car has the
right to give another person the use
thereof if he leaves the car before it
reaches the end of the trip for which
the berth was bought. A passenger se-
cured a section, rode in it for part Of
the trip and then sold his section ticket
to another passenger, he leaving the
train. The second purchaser was re-
fused the use Of the section by the con-
ductor of the car and was elected,
whereupon he brought suit, with the

Sad Death.

Sybyl Day, the 2-year-old daughter OF
Frank Day, of 2O27 Emerson avenue
north, Minneapolis, died under sad
circumstances. The little one had
been eating candy and accidentally
choked upon piece which was
too large for it's throat. The
child stumbled and fell forward upon
the floor while the candy was in its
mouth, and despite the efforts of it's
mother, the little one slowly choked to
death.

Killed.

With the expressed desire for death
fresh on his lips, Charles Summers. an
aged citizen with checkered career,
was crushed beneath the wheels of an
electric car at about the center of the
steel arch bridge in Minneapolis. He
was crossing the structure afoot, and
by some means got between the rails
when run down. When removed from
beneath the CARRIE was quite dead.
The fatality occurred on Sunday,
shortly after O'clock, at time when
few pedestrians were near the place.
In fact, the motorman on the Inflated
car was the only witness of the acct.
dent. AS was subsequently, learned,

WEAK sPoTs IN MARSHES.


One Method Of Attack 6 Aimed at the
Crew, Another at the Motive Power.
A war ship is vulnerable in two chief
respects-in her motive power and in
her personnel. tits imaginable that one
might be wholly neutralizcd without
materially injuring the other. The4ues-
ton, not only of to-day, but of, a cen
tury's standing, is, which is it better to
attack in order to suhdue the ship? In
olden days the British habitually at
tackled the personnel, the French the
motive power, and each was consistent;
for the aim of the former was to insure
decisive results, and that of the latter
to avoid them. Each has had it's advo-
Gates, and consequently there is some
thing to be said on each side; but upon
the whole it is, l think, fair to say that
experience replies, attack the men.
And the reason is much the same as q
hundred years ago; net only is it impos-
sible to have the men as well protected
as the motive power, but the destruc-
ton of the men who handle the often
sive powers of the ship makes the mo-
tive power practically useless. ssi@
Now the weight which a ship Of q
given size can carry is limited, and must
be distributed among several objects, of
which gun power is one, and the ques-
ton has to be met, how shall this gun
power be subdivided among the differ
ent classes of gun? If your aim is the
motive power you want heavy guns; for
tho rn0fSvn ho
boilers-are given the utmost possible
protection, by position, by the thickest
armor, by the coal stowage, the protec-
tive deck, and SO on. to pierce which
great force is required, But heavy guns
means few guns, and few guns means
few shots, and fewer shots mean
fewer hits; while of those that hit, if
they strike the protective system of the
engines, ETC., fewer still penetrate, q
truth long foreseen, yet very generally
dropped out of sight. and which the
Yalu battle has singularly confirmed.
On the other hand, the weight of
armor required to protect the water
line adequately makes it impossible to
extend by similar means adequate pro-
lection to the battery spaces, except
only those occupied by the heavy guns,
and even where these are adequately
protected -impervious, that is, to the
missiles from those lighter guns, tech
nically called rapid fre"--there can
be no question that their accuracy of
fire is singularly embarrassed. For that
reason it is sought to aim and fire them
from an interior position-the coming
tower, for instance-a plan Of which :it
is enough here to say that, except tor
the heaviest guns, it is tending ofall
into disuse.

Fort Ridgeley.
The Fort Ridgeley monument COM
mission has encountered great difficulty
in collecting the names of the defend
ers of the fort during the siege of 1862,
to be inscribed on the monument.
These names have been collected
through the most reliable sources avail
able, but the committee deems it pru-
dent to publish them in the leading
newspapers in order that they may re-
ceive the criticism of the public. It
invites any suggestions regarding the
published lists, as to the accuracy Of
spelling, additions or omissions of
names, or any other matter that may
aid in the historical accuracy of the
record. Address all communication to
