IN each of the seven columns Standing
by the northward gate, he keenly studied
each troop as it came jogging briskly
in. The colonel and the major, the ad-
jutant and certain other officers seemed
to have grouped about the carriages of
the ladies at the edge of the drill
ground, but at least one officer rode
with every troop, the best opportunity
the newcomer yet had enjoyed of study
ing these future comrades with whom
he might never expect to exchange a
word or meet with more than the formal
and punctilious touch of the hand to
cap. They were moving at ease now
until each troop in succession might
cross the sentry post and be called to
attention in recognition Of the salute of
its solitary occupant.
Hunter watched the man as he halted,
faced outward as the nearest troop drew
nigh, then snapped his carbine to the
present as the head of the column turn
ed to enter the gate, and Captain Gregg
whipped out his saber, gave voice over
his shoulder to the prolonged Ten
sh-o.o-on' which brought every man s
head and eyes up and to the front, and
then, looking square at the sentry, low
cred the glittering blade in acknowledge
ment of the honor paid to himself and
his command. Hunters eyes kindled at
the sight. No matter how humble the
private soldier, there at least, ON post
as sentry, he could expect the recogni-
ton of the president himself, than

need BEDS AND STOVES
PEOPLE OF GALVESTON CALL FOR
ASSISTANCE

The citizens of st. Faul, who responded
generously to the appeals which came
last fall from the sufferers at Galveston,
Tex, have again been called upon to
aid the unfortunate populace of that
devastated city.
r. D. Bowen, of Galveston, was in the
city yesterday in the interest of this
movement. He appeared at the Com
mercial club in the afternoon and laid
before a number of st. PauTs representa-
tive business men, the pitiful conditions
of hundreds of deserving people in the
Southern city. The result was that the
club decided to act with the Jobbers'
union and Chamber of Commerce to
forwith collect necessary articles of re-
lief. A committee of three from each
of these organizations will be appointed
and then committee of like size will
be selected from the city at large and
these will have in hand the work of re-
lief. Mayor Smith was at the meeting
yesterday, and will appoint the COM
mittee from the citizens generally The Sc
committees which will constitute one
joint committee, will meet either today
or tomorrow at the Commercial clue
and prepare their method of campaign.
Mr.. Bowen explained that the articles
most needed now by his people are. beds
and stoves. While over 81 600 600 had been
sent TO their relief. it had failed to meet
anything like all the needs. This money,
he said, bad been expended most jul
diciously, and every effort had been mace
to keep unworthy people from proving
upon it. to the exclusion of those who
were more needy.
Eat the present time there are Just 400
families on our provision lists, and this
means dire restitution said Mr. Bowen.
I'VE cannot give these poor People the
comforts and necessary things they need
without more outside aid

GIVES THEM A CHANCE
FOOD COMMISSIONERS OUTLINES HIS
POLICY TO MERCHANTS.

A circular letter to the manufacturers.
jobbers and retail dealers in food pred
ucts throughout the state, was issu d
by Dairy and Food Commissioner Me
Connel yesterday defining the policy he
intends to pursue in the administration
Of his department. 1t follows:
While it is the duty and intention OF
the state dairy and food commission t.
enforce the law impartially, it desires 10
do so in such manner as to create as
little friction as possible; keeping con-
stantly in mind that both consumer and
dealer are entitled to protection.
Commencing at an early date the IN
speetion of all foods and other articles
coming within the provisions of the law
will be vigorously prosecuted. and all
infractions thereof called to the atten-
, ton of the courts.
THE department desires to give all an
opportunity to SO arrange their stocks
as to comply with the law, and would
suggest to manufacturers and jobbers
that as far as possible they call in any
goods they may have in the hands of
retail dealers which will not stand the
state test for purity. The department
takes no pleasure in prosecuting for vio-
lations of the law. and is adopting this
course in the expectation that with the
cooperation of the merchants of the
state the necessity thereof will cease.

Tough joints, where the proprietors
or bartenoers are in the business for the
apparent purpose of making drunk and
Iobbing people, will, on satisfactory proof,
have their licenses revoked.
Saloons, as East as they become the
resorts of the tough and disorderly ele-
ment, will be driven out of the business.
If saloonkeepers are good citizens they
