National Feed Box.

This box is a perfect device
for slow feeding in the stable
or on the road. 1t is a boon
to the horse, in that it cures
him of the habit of boiling,
soldering and scattering his
food, and to the owner in that
it saves from 25 to 35 per cent
in feed bills, and prevents doc
tors bills for Indigestion, colo,
and other stomach troubles.
1t feeds all kinds of grain,
corn in the ear, chopped feed,
or bran mash.
This box is made of steel,
and is practically indestruct-
ible. The follower slides on a
Mallable Iron Rod riveted to
the box.
A feature is the ease with
which it can be cleaned.
1t is perfectly odorless and
healthy, light and portable.
The owners and drivers Of the
fastest horses in the world use
and approve of it, as well as
the heads of many Fire and
Police Departments.
No stable should be with
out it, as it pays for itself in a
few weeks.

AUTOMATIC PHONES
Built for Public Service and Require
No Attendance

Norway was the first country to es-
tablish public telephone stations which
need no attention, but the system is
spreading all over the world, says the
Philadelphia Record. A very simple
nickel-in- the-slOt arrangement, con-
nected with a crank which is used TO
call up the central station, made ii
possible to place a large number of
apparatuses at convenient points, thus
greatly increasing the efficiency of the
service. The telephone does not differ
much from the ordinary apparatus,
except that the mouthpiece and the re-
ceiver, which is held to the ear, are
made in one and hung at the side of
the apparatus, as shown in the cut.
The necessary coin is thrown into the
slot, visible in the upper part of the
box, and falling upon a spring makes
an electric contact, which releases the
catch holding the crank firmly in place
The crank can be turned and the con-
Versation can proceed for three min
utes. After this period has elapsed
the telephone is disconnected at the
central station and automatically
locked, so that a continuance of the
conversation can only be had on de-
posting another coin. The apparatus
is rapidly becoming popular, and there
are upward of $4,000 of them placed IN
various cities of Norway and Sweden.

FANS HAVE FUN.
minneapolis Takes Two Games
From the BObOIinks.

The Minneapolis base ball team
pulled itself together yesterday and,
in two games against Grand Rapids,
made probably as many runs as they
will make on the coming trip. The
only misfortune is that they could
rot save them to take away with them.
The visitors were like children in their
hands, and, in fact, the afternoon was
devoid Of interest, except for the dyed
in-the-wool fan, who likes to see the
foe wickedly sat upon to any extent.
1t was never close enough to be excit-
ing. In the first game, the visitors
could not bunch hits on Figgemeier, and
the locals seemed able to fatten their
averages to any extent. There was
hardly a feature about the first game
worthy of mention.
In the second game, the crowd yelled
for the new amateur, Berg, and when
Hermann went in, they groaned. He
captured them at once, for the men
from Michigan could not see his out
shoot or drop, and famed at it ludi-
crously. He had them so much at his
mercy that he was given a rest, and
the kid. Berg, put in to pitch. He is
a local boy, with the speed of a rifle
ball, and he showed that there was
something in him. Miller went in to
catch him, and there was considerable
sport with Doggie behind the bat Peach
Keefe was given a trial behind the
pat In the first game, and he showed

in the extreme, and enjoyed the game
from a jocular standpoint, for 1t
seemed like old times to have the To-
Gals scoring. The only brilliant work
of the day was the center field work
of Slagel for the visitors. The scores

purposely threw the bail to the beachers.
Big Amos plowed around the bases, puff

times in that inning.

DRAWINGS FOR A NICKEL.
Youthful and Fiippant Artist Who
Hnunts Chicago Saloons and
0mnna

Hnunts Chicago Saloons and
Offices.
He slipped into the Office with a small
block of paper projecting from his
pocket, and when the busy man looked
up he saw small freckled boy about
fifteen years of age standing by his
desk. The lads clothes looked as if
he had been climbing fences and run
ming over shed roofs for few months,
and he had peculiar sharp look in
his eye unnatural for one of his years.
L beg your pardon, SIR he began.
would you object to my making q
sketch of you while you are at work
there? 1t would take but four min
utes, and I will guarantee satisfaction
1t will not be necessary for you to quit
working, sir, just remain as you are,
please"
The busy man frowned a little as If
he did not catch the drift of the boy's
remarks. Then he saw the sketch
block and pencil and was a little
teur artist.
What do you want to sketch me
for?" he asked
well, for cents in the first place"
said the lad, land, besides, you have
an interesting countenance."
This little bunch of what is techni-
cally known as ''the hot air. fattered
the busy man and he told the boy to
go ahead. In an instant the sketch
book was in his hand and with the
slow, wavy strokes of an amateur he
began making a likeness of the busy
man. There was talent in the hand
that guided the pencil, however, and
when the sketch was completed the
busy man was delighted. 1t was a
fairly good likeness, remarkably so for
the work of a child
Here, Tom" called the busy man
to his office partner, here is a boy
wonder"
Pardon me, object to the appella-
ton" said the artist, and the busy man
nearly fell off his chair. Then he be-
came interested In the glib tongued
boy and asked him where he learned
to draw.
81 just picked it up" he said, do
you think 1 had better lay it down
AGAIN."
The f1ippancy of the remark irritated
the busy man and he frowned again
But his curiosity got the better of him,
and he asked more questions. He
learned that the lads name is John
O'Connor, and his parents live in New
Orleans. He is living here with an
aunt. For over year he has been
drifting around Office buildings and sa-
looms picking UP a fair living by max
ing sketches, getting from a nickel to
quarter for them. But he is too flip
pant, for young man of his years. He
lacks reverence and respect and lot
of things f1fteen-year-old boys are sup
posed to have, and he made a bad I'M
preston. When the busy man asked:
DO you make good money at this
work." ~O'Connor replied: None of it
is counterfeit
That was too much, and the busy
man turned to his desk and told the
young artist to run along and learn
some manners.
