correspondent in which the COM

certain point on the veldt one OF Rob-

Up cantered Lord Roberts, with his

with those chickens?" he asked sternly.
"Sir,' replied the staff officer, he has
understood that you are on very short

for your dinner. He got them off a

"Why, how very kind" said the field

OVER the NORTHWEST.

GAINESVILLE, Minn.-A pretty wedding
took place in St. Mary's church last
Wednesday week. The contracting par
ties were Miss Katie McLin and Mr..
Robert R. Riley. Rev. Father Coleman
officiated. A reception was given at the
home of the bride, where their many
friends met to offer congratulations to
the young couple. Mr.. and Mrs. Riley
are we'll and favorably known through
out this vicinity and everyone wishes
them success and happiness throughout
their welded life.
Morris, Minn.-James Sullivan, who
lives on the old St. Pierre farm in the
town of Morris, met with painful, Sc
we're and very unfortunate accident on
Monday Of last week. He was holding
fence post, which was being driven
with a sledge, and in some way allowed
his hand to slip on top OF the post, the
result being that two fingers were SO
badly crushed by the sledge that they
had to be amputated at the first joint.
The injury is unfortunate as well as
severe, for it will keep Mr.. Sullivan
from attending to his farm work for
some time to come. Doctors Game and
Spur attended to his injuries and he is
doing as we'll as could be expected.
Glencoe, Minn-James Doyle, pio-
neer settler of Mcleod county, died at
his home in Rich Valley township Sum
day night of last week at the advanced
age OF four score years. Mr.. Doyle set
tied her in 1866, where has has ever
since resided. He was an honest, up
right citizen and was respected by all
who knew him. The funeral services
were held from St. Georges Catholic
church, Rev. Father Conry officiating.

KICKS OF MCONCEIvABLE KINDS.


A Member who Wanted Much For
His MOney--AppIicAtiOn For Re
duced Rates of All sorts-WOrIs
For Better Roads.
If officials of the League of Amerl-
can Wheelmen would compile book
of their humorous experiences, 1t would
doubtless find a ready sale among cy-
cllsts. incidentally it might also re-
lieve them of repetitions.
1t seems that every bicycle rider,
whether a member Of the organization
or not, considers it his duty to write
the officials upon every subject that
comes to his attention These usual
ly take the shape of reforms. They
want the wheelmen's organization to
rise in It's might and correct Ill the
abuses Of mankind. However, as n
usual thing, they confne themselves TO
matters of cycling interest, particular
ly the building and repairing Of roads
and side paths and the granting of
privileges to wheelmen.
The l.. A. w. is to be credited with
all of the rights and privileges now en-
joyed by wheelmen generally, and 1t is
constantly working in the same cause
besides providing exceptional privi-
leges for its members But this is not
sufficient in the minds of many, and
they believe that because the league
has been so successful in its particular
line 1t is capable Of extending itself.
Others report streets and roads that
are in need of repair and seem to think
that the league does such work with
out regard to city or county officials.
The L. A. w. does stir up these officials
and has accomplished an untold amount
of work in this direction, but beyond
agltating the matter it can, of course,
do nothing Requests for touring routes
in all parts of the world are received,
and many of the applicants are dis
appointed II they are provided with
much less than a personal conductor.
Here is a sample letter recently re-
celved by Chief Consul Bedding of the
New York division: "a young man on

Mauser Rifles In uunting.

One Of the after results Of the Span
ish war, says Il. L Keyser in the New
York Times, which promise to have
many fatal effects is the distribution
of captured Mauser rifles throughout
the country. Many of these were sold
by the United States government to
the large contractors who attend at
auction sales and bought them In at a
very low figure. These were refurbsh-
ed and sold to jobbers and sporting
goods dealers and are now being adj
vertised at prices as low as $40 each.
When II is considered that these rifles
used about the most powerful car
fridge which has yet been devised by
military science, and they are made for
the purpose of man killing and have a
range Of considerably over mile and
n penetration of several inches of solid
plank mt 100 feet, 1t will be understood
just what lively times will be expert
enced In the suburbs when these weap-
ons become distributed among country
boys and men VINO do not know much
about firearms. but have bought these
because they are cheap. In the hands
of the careful man and loaded with
cartridges containing a soft nose bull
let they are magnificent hunting weap-
ons for large game like moose caribou
or grizzly bear, but there is fun in store
for some one when their owners charge

projectile and start out to kill squirrel

come to a tin can suspended from

Why don't the l.. A. w. have men In
Uniform to check the wheels of the l..
A. W. members all over the State. The
Hotels would pay the mems Salaries

telries as stopping places Wheeling is

Your Girl on Trolly for FIVE cents and

us members something for our money
We are getting tired. What do we get

In somewhat the same line was the
letter received by the chief consul of
another state, In which the writer
wanted the l.. A. w. to have lien
placed at the top of several steep hills
to warn riders Of dangerous turns lear
the bottom. This had some practical
effect, however, as the division placed
Danger" boards at the hills caution
ing riders about coasting at a danger
Gus speed Another rider, little more
modest, complained that he was not al
lowed to enter race meets upon presen-
tation Of his membership ticket. A
worse case was that of a member who
thought his ticket entitled him to ride
on trolley cars without paying fares
for his wheel when 1t was damaged.
On the other hand, there have been
some peculiar instances Of the value
OF league membership. For instance,
II is common for members to use their
membership tickets as means of iden-
tlfcation in cashing money orders.
checks and drafts. In one city mem
beers of the L. A. w. only are allowed
to carry their wheels on the trolley
lines, and the conductors are required
TO see the membership ticket OF course
a fare is paid for the bicycle. The
league also has official hotels IN all
parts of the country at which members
are allowed n discount, anc repair
shops are also operating under this
plan. These make some peculiar hap
penings at times. For instance. one
member sent In a bill for repairs to his
wheel to the l.. A. w. because he had
the work done at an official repair shop
and presumed that these places were so
designated simply to systematic the
work OF repairing the wheels of men,
bers nj the expense Of the organization.
