SHE WOULDN'T BE ARRESTED
How q St. Paul Woman Fooled a
Policeman.

A very charming ST. Paul woman
who makes her summer home at
White Bear routed the police force OF
that village after a brief encounter on
Friday.
Mrs. B. rides a bicycle, of course, and
when it became necessary for her to go
to the grocery or the Postoffice or
wherever it was that she had to go,
she, of course, mounted her wheel.
Now, at times the streets in the vii
lage Of White Bear are not the real
thing for wheeling. and the town au-
thorities know the same. With view
TO having the streets pressed out fiat
by bicyciists they have passed an or
dinance forbidding any one riding on
the sidewalks.
Mrs. B either did not know this or
she did not care; she took to the walk
and rode downtown. She left her wheel
outside and went into the store, and
when she came out she found herself
confronted by the dignitary who is the
whole thing in police circles-the man
who is to the Police Department what
the lone mariner was to the Nancy
brig.
He said to the lady: You are under
arrest" She looked at him and made
a dash for her wheel, which he had cap
tured He retired before the onslaught
in disorder, and she got the wheel.
Il am WHAT" she demanded.
You are under arrest for riding on
the walk"
But 1 won't be under arrest" she
said.
But you are" he said.
Il am not anything of the kind. You
mind your own business
But, mum, it is my business, and
you must go 20 the Justices office with
me, or promise that you will be there
at o'clock in the morning"
Il won't do anything of the kind"
"But 1 tell you I arrest you"
And 1 tell you l won't be arrested.
There you are. Now, what are you go
ing to do about it?
Justices office"
II won't do it. I'll pay fine, if that's
what you want How much is 1T?
Il don't take the fine. You must go
to the Justices" said the unfortunate
copper.
where's the Justice, them
He's down on the bridge, fishin', l
guess. Won't you promise to be on
hand in the morning."
mo, I WON'T"
Then I'll have to arrest YOU"
'And / tell you l won't be arrested,
and I'm going home"
The copper scratched his head and
looked as though he was going to make
another sally on the bicycle. Mrs. B.
got aboard of the wheel.
You're nasty. mean thing, and I'm
going to tell my husband that you said
l was arrested" she said, and she rode
off, and the copper went down on the
bridge and helped the Justice fish, and
the crowd that had gathered gave him
the laugh-St. Paul Globe.

The Cause Of the Aurora.

AS long ago as 1880 and 1890, Tycho
Brahe observed that the appearance
Of these polar bands and halos coincid-
ed with the presence of spots on the
sun Klein, in our own day, comparing
twenty five years of observations made
with the greatest care at Cologne by
DIR. Garthe. has confirmed the fact that
these high cirrus clouds and polar bands
follow as to their frequency the same
laws as the spots on the sun; they
succeed each other or even coex1St.

How a Peasant Washed the Tiger.

A story is told, in La France du
Nord." about a Cossack, ignorant of
the French language and equally ig-
norant of fear, who was hired at Mos
cow by the lion tanner, Pezon, to clean
the cages of his wild beasts, says
Emily Mayer Higgins in "Lippincott' s
Magazine. Their understanding, or
misunderstanding. was arranged by
means Of gestures and dumb show, as
that unfortunate Tower of Babel him
dered ineligible speech, and Pezon
thought the man thoroughly under
stood what he had to do. The next
morning the Tartar began his new
duties by entering, with bucket, sponge
and broom. not the cage of a tame
beast, as his master had done, but of a
splendid, untamed tiger. The fierce
animal fixed his eyes upon the man,
who calmly proceeded to wet his large
sponge, and to approach the tiger.
AT this moment Pezon appeared upon
the scene, and was struck with hor-
rcr. Any sound or motion upon his
part would intensity the danger by
rousing the beast to fury; so he quietly
waited till the need should arise to
rush to the mans assistance.
The moujik, sponge in hand ap-
preached the animal. and, perfectly
fearless, proceeded to rub him down,
as If he had been horse or dog; While
the tiger. apparently delighted by the
application of cold water, rolled over On
its back, stretched out it's paws, and,
purring, offered every part of it's body
to the Cossack, who washed him as
complacently as a mother bathes her
infant. Then he left the cage, and
would have repeated the hazardous eX-
pertinent upon another savage from
she desert had not Pezon drawn him
off, with difficulty.

MANY * NATIVE SONS e DEPART * FOR NEVADA CITY

r F the promises made by the jolly
 crowd of Native Sons who left
 this city yesterday morning are to | be believed, there was a hot time
 in Nevada City last night.
 To-day Is the date fixed for the an nual meeting of the Grand Parlor, the supreme legislative body of the order of Native Sons. Delegates from local parlOrs and their friends to the number of 150 left this city by special train at 8 o'clock yesterday morning and ar rived in Nevada City, the place of meeting, late in the afternoon. The party included a score or more of la dies, the wives of delegates, who will partake of the gayeties of the coming week.
 The obligation to combine pleasure with business is always religiously ob- served by the Native Sons. The ne- cessity for the liberal mixing of whole some enjoyment with the duty of fram- ing the laws for the order is, if not part of the ritual, at least a part of the unwritten code of ethics that is never violated It is becoming that a son of the Golden State should have no

he failed to appreciate a good joke. It was soon after his appointment to his present position. This was just prior to the session of the Grand Parlor held two years ago at San Luis Obispo. As a matter of business Martland had some cards printed, across the center or which there appeared in bold type the words Manager, N. s. C.. w. Hall, I" Ills own name appeared in smaller type in one corner of the bit of cardboard Prior to his departure for San Luis Op1spo he telegraphed ahead to the Ho- tel Ramona to have apartments re- served for him. When he arrived at the hotel he handed his card to the clerk and asked to be shown to his room immediately. The clerk glanced at the card and then at Martland. and said:
 l am very sorry MT. Hall, but the house is full and you will have to go elsewhere for accommodations.
 When the full significance of the sit nation dawped on Martland he said not a word, but beckoned to the circle of grinning friends and disappeared in the direction of the refreshment counter.

care that cannot be frightened with a smile.
 Among the departing delegates were many who are familiar figures. For ex- ample there was Grand Treasurer Henry Martin. Every school boy in the State knows Henry Martin and knows that his popularity and great good nature is only exceeded by his weight. It is said that some of his friends recently proposed that he take command of a company of volunteers to fight the Spaniards in Cuba Martin quietly but firmly refused, and when pressed for his reasons gravely re- marked:
 "A commander should be level headed man. l would never do because l could not keep cool-in Cuba"
 Of course that settled it. There is no use to argue with a man who will joke about so grave a matter as war. How ever, this will not prevent his loving friends from re-electing him to the of flee of Grand Treasurer without opposi- tion.
 Bob Martland, the popular manager of the Native Sons Hall, was a con- spicuous member of the throng A Grand Parlor without Martland would be like a wagon without wheels. The thing would drag. The annals of the order contain only one instance when

principal business streets and from the fronts of some of the more pretentious buildings.
 At o'clock this afternoon a special train bearing the Grand Parlor officers and the delegates from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Stockton Sacramento and all intermediate points north and south, arrived and was greeted with the firing of cannon and the blare of brass bands. The delegates and their friends, to the number of several hundred, were under escort of a reception committee from the local parlor which met the visitors at Colfax, the junction of the narrow gauge road with the Central Pacific line. Upon the arrival of the train in this city, the visitors were greeted by all of the local Native Sons and by the local company of the National Guard and some thou sands of citizens. The delegates. upon leaving the train, formed in line and were escorted in a sort of triumDhal process sion through the principal streets and to their respective hotels and headquarters
 This evening an open air band concert was given for the entertainment of the visiting Native Sons. The opening ses- sion of the Grand Parlor will be held at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning It will be brief, the balance of the day be- ing reserved for the amusement of the city's guests. In the evening there will be a grand promenade reception and a dance at the Armory, and a formal pres- entation to the grand president of the keys of the city.

will be something doing when he and Ben Davis reach Nevada City. Davis speciality is the preparation of little surprises for candidates for initiation into the mystic rites of the side degree of Argonauts. The friendly rivalry be- tween the Argonauts and the Curly Bears is well known, a condition that has led Davis to devise some new and wholly entertaining Oo the spectators) features of the initiation of this years crop of candidates.
 Mayor Phelan, who is a delegate from Pacific Parlor No. 10, was among the departing Natives. There was also Fred Lees, who enjoys the reputation of always being able to participate in standing vote during the sessions of the Grand Parlor. Joseph E. ODonnell and Judge Frank Kerrigan, who won fame at Redwood Citv last year by getting lost and spending the whole of one night in following the changing current in tide slough, were on hand each having promised not to venture outside the corporation limits at Nevada City. Kerrigan confided to several intimate friends that he had been misrepre- sented in the tide slough incident, fact which he attributes to the invent i've imagination of H. R. McNoble of Stockton who is familiarly known among his brothers in the order as
