After awhile her mother blew the

near her, and entered the kitchen door

Louise was not really a deceptive
child. She had always been humored,

given her distinction in her own home

Louise thought of course Luella

in to dinner. She was very hungry. but
she had determined to refuse to eat.
They were having fried chicken, and
she could smell it.
Never in the ten years of her life had
Louise been treated like this.
Often her father had come out to the
old settle and carried her in when she
had not felt half as i'll as she did today.

Louise gasped and tried to tell him to

water over her and hurried to the
kitchen door.

he went to the door.

And what was Johnny's amazement
to see Louise arise, dripping from the
ducking he had given her. cross the

kitchen and up the stairs.
Johnny had lost faith in her, too, and
he would tell her aunt and uncle and

WANTS TO BE A SOLDIER.
Young st. Paul Boy Asks Mckinley
for "a Cadetship


President Mckinley has a bona. fda
nanlesake in St Paul in the person of
Perry Mckinley Newcomb, a ten-year
0io asplrant for a cadetship at West
Polnt. Master Perry Mckinley New
COMP IS a candidate for a cadetship at
large, Which position is within the Gift
OF PRESIDENT Mckinley. President Nc
K1nley's attention has been called TO
the candidacy Of young Newcornb. and
just before he left for his sumner va
cation he requested the war department
10 register Newcomb's name among the
ellglbleS for the examinations At pres
ent there is no vacancy at West Point.
but there will be at least two in 1899
Occas1oned by graduation These two
vacancies will be filled by the president
IN 1898. Although young Newcomb's
age bars him from being eligible for a
cadetsh1p, the age limit being seven
teen, II President Mckinley were so
disposed, he could appoint him at any
time and young NeWcomb could take
the examinations when he arrived at
the proper age. 1t would seem as if
the president was quite favorably dis
posed towards young Newcomb. as his
acton IN requesting the war depart
ment to register young Newcomb's
name is regarded as equivalent to an
appointment, if he can pass the exami-
nation. NeWcomb's name was present
ed to the president by Samuel G. Gin
ner. of this city. Mr.. Ginner, is an
acquaintance of the president, and it
was on his recommendation, and the
fact that young Newcomb became a
namesake of the president by his own
wish, that the president made the re-
guest to the war department Quite
a correspondence has been carried on
between Mr.. Ginner and the war de-
partment on the question.
Master Newcomb is scarcely ten years
old, but is pronounced a remarkable
boy. He is far advanced in school for
a boy of his age He can operate a
typewriter, and is a first-class teIe-
grapher, being able to send and receive
messages with considerable rapidity.
His ambition is to be a soldier. He
has several guns with which he drills.
and he spends a number of hours each
day taking lessons in the studies which
will fit him for West Point, and has
made considerable progress within the
last year. He lives with his parents at
1874 Summit avenue. He was recently
baptized by Rev. John Wright, D. D.,
rector of st. Paul's church, and it was
at that time that he selected Mckinley
as part of his name.

telegram received yesterday after
noon by Frank Bork, of Hastings ave.
nue., announced the sudden death Of
Christopher Lund, the Globe limo
type machinist, at the home of his
mother in Blooming Prairie, MINI. Mr..
Lund left st. Paul for his home about
ten days ago to take a vacation, and,
though somewhat ailing at the time
the announcement of his death yester-
day came so suddenly as to seem al
most incredible to his associates and
friends. Chris" as he was Familiarity
called by his fellow workmen, came to
st. Paul about eight years ago, and,
after being employed at the Minnesota
type Foundry for some time, he chose
the calling of machinist, and, three
years ago, when the G o b placed the
Mergenthaler linotypes in the compos-
ing room, he took charge of the plant
ana remained in that capacity up to the
time of his death. He was but twenty
two years of age, and being
thus cut down in his youth
eXemplified the truth of the
saying that Death loves a shining
mark" There was probably no other
member of the entire C o b staff who
was more sincerely admired for his
manly traits than Christopher Lund,
and his death leaves a vacancy in the
working force that will be noticeable to
all his comrades for many days He
was of genial disposition, just and
loyal to all, without even a trace of
arrogance, and of a sterling nature
that covered the faults and foibles of
others with a mantle of fcrbearance,
and in whose heart there dwelt not
the slightest grain of insincerity
His comrades of the G / O e have
forwarded to his home at Blooming
Prairie, where the funeral will take
place this afternoon, a tribute of flow
ers composed of a shield of white roses
with the word &c o b e" in blue i'm
mortelles across the face. 1t will be TAX

SHOT At BY AN UNKNOWN.
A CycIist Saved From Injury by a
Newspaper.

Newspaper.
At dusk one evening last week a
man Who was riding a bicycle on the
road to Mendoza was shot at by some
unknown person from behind bush,
the West St. Paul Broad Axe says. The
bullet struck him in the lower part OF
the chest and had it not been for a
Jubilee edition of a Canadian paper,
which he was taking home and had
folded across his chest under his vest
to preserve it from the rainy weather
he might have been fatally hurt. Ihs
bullet passed through the several folds
of the newspaper and struck the
buckle of his suspender which thus
arrested its flight and no doubt saved
the mans life. There was only slight
bruise of the skin from the buckle
where the bullet struck the man. He
got eff his wheel to see who fired the
Shot but there was no one in sight.
After he recovered from the shock the
bullet had caused him he continued
his way homeward. He has preserved
both the paper and the bullet. The
name of the man who passed through
the experience recited above is Peter
Perry.
