Have Added to State Obligations.

The bogus reformers who. with John

Of the state government in 1887. have
laid special stress on the claim that by
superior economy great reduction OF
the state debt has been effected while
they have been in power. Like all other
claims that Rogers and his fellow flu
sionists have made during this campaign.

foundation. An examination OF the rec
ords shows that while BY the sale OF

At the request Of Governor Lind. Otto
Lugger, the state entomologist. prepared
circular warning Minnesota farmers
against the invasion Of grasshoppers and
this with an attractive poster giving in
formation as to the only effective remedy
It is feared that. an invasion may occur
next season. In the vicinity of the Tur-
tie mountains in Manitoba. the hoppers
are very numerous this season and as
It has been impossible to exterminate
them. these may migrate to this state
in the early spring. In the western part
OF the state, where large farms are owned
by non-residents. they are breeding in
large numbers and may come eastward.
The dangerous species Of hoppers In
variably choose stubble fields in which
to lay their eggs, and for that reason the
circular issued by the entomologist urges
that farmers plow their stubblez fields this
fall. The state officers are working on
some method by which It will be possible
to prevent a migration from outside the

king has placed a guard around Nine.
Maschin's house, fearing that an at
tempt might be made to abduct her.
1t is evident that Alexander, after
years of effort and always meeting
with rebuff, has at last given up hope
OF securing bride from one of the
royal houses Of Europe. If general re-
ports may be accepted, the young king
is, morally, very much like his father,
Milan. He is low and depraved in his
taste and disposition, and has been in
volved in many entanglements, with
the result that his wooing even among
the minor royalties has always been
unsuccessful.' X &
The kingship of the royal house of
Obrenovitch is of the vintage of 1882,
and the royal houses of Europe do not
seem to consider it quite ripe for use
yet. The founder of.the line was old
Miloch, swineherder, who became
prominent in the struggle of the Serv-
ians against the Turks and treacher-
Gus murdered his rival, Kara George.
In 1870 Miloch's father married the
widow OF a man named Obren, and
when, in 1880, the swineherder was
elected prince he took the name of Oh.
renovitch. 1t is doubtful if either he
or his father had any family name.
When, after stormy reign, old Miloch
died in 1860, he was succeeded by his
son, Michael. Michael was assassinat-
ed in 1868, and was succeeded by
grandson of old Miloch's brother, Yeph.
rem. This grandson is the royal black,
leg, Milan, who has disgraced the
memory of the swineherds, his grand
father, and great-uncle. Milan abdi-
Gated in 1889, and his son, Alexander,

lions. When the babies are two weeks
old they make their. first appearance in
public, and are turned over to Stella.
The child takes them just as she would
a, basket of kittens and sits and plays
with them until they learn to love and
obey her. She reaches into their little
cage where they lie cuddled up asleep,
drags them out by the nape of their
necks and then has grand romp with
them. H.
This is preliminary to the lesson she
gives them each day. She first plays
that they are naughty children and
stands them in the corners, then they
are forced to perch in chairs and look
grave and wise.
She plays grandmother, and the big
gest baby is dressed in cap and spec
tacles. A5
Then follows hilarious half hour,
when Stella makes the lazy cub jump
through hoops and walk about on their
hind legs. 1t is great fun for Stella,
and the cubs soon learn that her, word
is law.
After she has had them for about two
weeks they respond eagerly to her call
and trot about after her in the most af-
fectionate fashion.
When they are three months old cub
lions commence to grow savage. They
claw and snap viciously at their keep
ers. Stella has successfully managed
her charges past this stage, and sever
al of the older lions at the zoo, who
are viciously inclined toward the men,
have never attempted to molest the
child.
Shortly after she began to train the
baby lions, Stella was painfully wouad-
ed by an African cub, so much so that
her parents vowed that she should
never go near lion again.
But Stella was undaunted, and seems
to have forgotten the incident entirely
So fearless is the child that she begs to
be admitted to the cages containing
the four immense African lions. She
watches their performance with great
delight, and vows that she is going to
be ''The Lady of the Lions" some day..
Stella's present charges are danger
GUS ones. Their father is Wallace, tie
man-eater, who has record of seven
men. The mother is the famous Juno.
So the cubs are the finest specimens of
the full-blooded African lion.

Thrilling Experience Of a Boy in

Seven Days He Had Spent ON His Little
Floating FlOor-Impressions of
. Pilot Who Would Not
Change His Course.

There is sometimes providence
that directs mans actions and the ex-
perience Of an old pilot with head
quarters at New Orleans seems to bear
out the assertion. His story cannot
be better told than in his own words;
''Men in our line of business have
plenty of queer experiences" he said,
,''but I think the strangest that ever
fell to my lot happened in 1898, right
after the great hurrican that swept
down the south coast and drowned so
many poor fisher folks on the little
islands. The storm blew itself away
on Sunday" the pilot went on, "and
next Sunday morning, having nothing
in particular to do, + decided to take
our steamer, which was handy little
,12-knot craft, and go for two-hours'
run into the gulf from South Point
to see what could see. The water
was still full of driftwood and wreck

we noticed nothing in particular until
we had been out about an hour. Then
one of the men on the boat sighted a
