CrocodIles Eat Stones.

Crocodiles, like ostriches, swallow
pebbles and small stones, which serve
the purpose of grinding their food.
The natives assert that it is possible
to tell the,.age2of a crocodile by the
number OF stones in his stomach, for
they swallow one each year. In point
of fact, fifteen stones have been found
in the stomach of crocodile twelve
feet long, whereas the average number
for younger ones varies between four
and eight. So says Mr.. Voltzkow,
who has been studying this matter for
several years. New York Herald. .

"Gee!" said Harold, as they started
toward home, "Barefooted in March. "
"And there wasn't q thing in the

"Let's esk Miss Wolcott to come

''Harold has scheme, said Les

"Yes, 1 have and 7 want to talk to
father about it."
Harold spoke to hia father that
evening.
"You see, father, he said; ST think
that the right way to help people is to
help them to help themselves"
The man smiled down very indul-
gently ut the earnest Ind.
''What. had you thought OF, my
son2"
sWell, I hardly know. but I have
wondered if they could not do some
thing TO pay the rent on our cottage.
There are three acres of land there
and those boys could raise chickens
and vegetables.
"That is quite grown-up plan for
such little lad, Talk. it over with
the rest of the boys aud see what they
can suggest"
A meeting was held in the school
room the next evening. The boys
suggested aud discussed until the
room was almost dark.
"What does Caleb's mother do?"
asked one boy.
''She makes vests, "said pale little
fellow in the corner.

It was agreed to by all the boys,
and the big family. was transferred to
the pretty suburban cottage.
"Say, Caleb's mother can't saw
wood, said one of the boys some days
later.
"Weil, we can," said Harold.
Sand that garden must be plowed,"
said another.
s.I'll work at home for James and
he will bring the plow and do first
class job at that. He said he would, :"
said Lester.
Caleb slowly recovered from the
fever which was the result of the fire.
The boys did not have much time to
give to him, but their mothers and
sisters and Miss Wolcott did. There
were walks to repair, a pump to mend
q shed to be converted into hem
house, and the garden 10 make. The
tschoolboys and Caleb's brothers did
the work.
James lent his plow and his expert
ence to the lads, and there never was
a thriftier garden than the one which
greeted Caleb's delighted eyes when
he "came home" from the hospital one
May morning. And his mother stood
in the door-his nother-her hair
neatly combed, dainty white apron
over her pretty dress, and hint
of the roses of long ago in her toll
worn cheeks.
The next summer Caleb told the
boys that he and his brothers were
making enough to live upon.

GALAXY OF MUSICAL STARS
Are Those Who Are Coming With
the Ellis Company.

the Ellis Company.
The sale of course tickets for the sea-
son of the Ellis Opera company at the
Metropolitan opened yesterday. and a
continuous line Of ticket purchasers bore
evidence to the fact that the public of
st. Paul will take advantage of this visit
of the big company. The indications are
that 1t will be brilliant event socially,
and that the wealth and fashion of the
city will turn out en- masse and give a
royal reception to the grandest operate
organization of the present day.
1t is doubtful If many people realize
that in the past twenty years, practically
in the history of st. Paul, there have
been but two engagements Of grand OPP
era, the Mapleson company at the old
Grand Opera house, and the DamrOSch at
the Metropolitan three years ago. The
coming season of the Ellis Opera COM
pany will, in many respects, be more
brilliant than either of those famous or
CARNATIONS, and Manager Scott is to be
congratulated on securing such an at
traction for the Twin Cities. With such
| artists Nine. Melba. Frau Johann
Gadski, Mile Zelie de LuSsan and the
| brilliant prima donna, Rosalia Chalia,
company of $50 people. including a grand
chorus and ballet, and the famous New
| York Symphony orchestra of fifty pieces.
| 1t Is certainly one of the greatest OPP
cratic organizations known to the mu-
steal history of this country.
OF the principals who will sustain the
leading roles In the productions of the
Ellis Opera company during the coming
engagement, Melba. Gadski and De Lus-
san are well known to the local public.
Rosalia Chalia. who will appear for the
first time in this city during the Ellis
engagement. Is a young prima donna
whose artistic acting and wonderful voice
have created a sensation wherever she
has appeared. Olitzka. Mattfeld and Van
Cauteren are trio of names which are
we'll and favorably known in the East
and in Europe. The company is also ex-
traordinarily strong in male voices. In
Guiding such artists as Bonnard, Pandol-
fini. Ceppi, Van Hose, Del Sol, Ben
saude. Stehmann. Boudouresque, De
Vries, Rains and Viviani.
For the opening performance Monday
evening the bill will be Verdfs ''Travi-
ata." with Nine. Melba in the leading
role. Tuesday evening Bizet's Carmen"
will be presented with Mile de Lussan
and Frau. Gadsh in the principal parts.
For the closing performance Wednesday
night the Ellis Opera company will pre-
sent the greatest musical sensation Of the
past decade. Puccini's La Boehme, -
with Mime. Melba In the principal role,
and Mile. de Lussan as Masette.
The sale of single tickets for this en-
gagement will open at the box Office next

Fourth Regiment to He Part of the
Guard Temporarily.

The difficulty between the Second and
Third regiments of the Minnesota ma
tlonal guards and the new Fourtf,
has been settled. A bill was before the
legislature that meant the merging of
the three into two regiments
This action caused considerable feeling
among the members of Col. Bobleter's
and Col. Van Duzee.s. regiments The
Second and Third did not wish to be con-
solidated. The Fourth thought it should
be mustered into the national guard. 1t
mad paid for a portion Of its uniforms,
and the only way 1t could be reimbursed
was by being mustered into the state
service
Several weeks ago Adjt. Gen Lambert
proposed that the Fourth be mustered
into the service until the First came
back from Manila, This proposition was
not agreed to. However q meeting was
held yesterday between the colonel of the
regiment. the governor and the adjutant
general. and compromise was effected
on those lines. The bills will not be pre-
scented before the legislature fer action.
1t seems to me-" said Gen. Lambert
yesterday, that. this agreement Is per-
fectly fair, and 1t semes to be satisfactory
