HELPS ou. THE HERO.
Villains Life In Imminent Danger of Sud-
den Ending.


In the old days, when a certain Texas
city was not exactly the charming place
1T is now, was playing in Monte Chris
to" to a crowded house. All afternoon
the cowboy of his type of the day had
been coming into town for the perform
ance. l could see him well in evidence in
the front row of the balcony his skin
jacket shining and his pistols glistening
in his belt. The arch villain was facing
his fate in the final act, and spoke my
lines, Your time has come.'' Suddenly
cowboy stood up in the front row and
drew bead on the villain of the piece
IF you don't fix him. rang out his voice,
81 Wilt"
There he stood ready to put the threat
into execution.
Kill me quick! Kill me quick!" cried
my fellow actor under his breath, trem-
bling at the prospect of more realistic
end from the gentleman in the balcony
But the joke was too good one for that
l prolonged the duel as much as possible.
but presently the arch villain took his
hrst plausible opportunity to expire at
my feet.
That's right; served him right If
you hadn't done it, 1 would!'' came APP
provingly from the voice in the balcony.
But that circumstance lessened my
chances to get anyone to play the part
later. Actors would come to me for
an engagement in the Villains role and
ask, Are you going to play in Texas
next year, Mr.. O'Neill?'
Yes
Thank you!'
That would be the end of it, for each
would say, Good day!'-James O'NeiIl

LIVELY SCRIMMAGE
ON A STREET CAR
BeIated Circus Passengers Get Some
thing Which Was Not on
I the Bills.

There was a miXup on a late interur-
ban car after the concert performance of
Ringing Bros circus last night that pos
sessed more realism and fervor than all
the work of the clowns. 1t began soon
after the car left the show grounds. An
old gentleman took a seat we'll front, but
vacated it and it was taken by a gen.
tleman who said he had worked as a
painter nithe city for twenty years He
took thevacant seat in the scramble for
places to rest, without unusual jostling
and seemed to be entitled to it.
The old gentleman, however, claimed
he had been worked out and became indig-
nant walking up and down the aisle of
the car calling the occupant of the seat
hard names. and kept it up for several
blocks The object of his wrath kept
his temper remarkably we'll. After a
while a middle-aged woman in the party
OF the old gentleman took a hand, or rath-
er tongue, and was reinforced by two
young girls and a boy of eighteen or
twenty. The combined efforts of the
party made it sultry for the painter, who
still held his temper until the woman
struck him in the face with her fan.
Then he made an effort to strike her
IN the face and in a second there was
pile Of struggling humanity four deep,
most of them engaged in the effort to
separate the parties militant No Sc
rious physical harm was done to any
body.
The conductor stopped the car and
hunted up policeman, who found com
parative peace when he appeared and
soon left the car. The wordy warfare
was resumed and continued a block or so
ana then the enraged party led by the
old gentleman left the car and the re-
maln0Pr of tho
spent in conversation concerning the
melee.

Vigorous Denial Of Charges
Preferred Against Pick
ling Company
PAY ROLL IS EXHIBITED
He Claims That At No Time Since
1891 Has the Company Employ
ed Less Than Fifteen
Persons.

In letter directed YESTERDAY to the
board of aldermen, M. A. Gedney. of
the Gedney Picking company, denies
vigorously the charges preferred at a
late meeting OF the assembly that the
company is not living up to the terms
OF Its levee lease in respect to the en-
ployment of a stipulated number of
men, and accompanies the same with
a sworn statement of the number en-
ployed since the lease went into opera
ton. The letter was read at the reg
ular board meeting last night and
handed over to the committee on
streets.
In his letter Mr.. Gedney admits that
the number on the pay roll of the COM
pany this year is not as great as in
past years. but says this is due to the
small crop of last year, and the in
creased trade this year, which keeps
their stocks reduced. In consequence
the company retained it's old-experienc-
ed working force. By the sworn state
ment of the company's local book
keeper, Mr.. Gedney shows that from
1891, the year the lease went into eff
feet, there has been employed never
$4,000 AAAbCCA4 PC1 SOllo, dliO
the busy periods of the year as many
as forty-five persons. An examination
OF the books for last month shows
sixteen persons on the pay roll.
Last summer Mr.. Gedney says his
company paid out nearly $4,000 to
farmers in the near vicinity for
pickles and other products which they
deal in, and this year the amount will
be greatly increased Already the
products of 445 acres have been con-
tracted for next year. Relative to the
statement that the plant is a sanitary
nuisance he contends that there is no
foundation for such a statement If
there is any odor, he says, it. is due
to the unsightly and unhealthy dump
which the city permits in the rear Of
the factory.
Laying aside everything, Mr.. Ged-
ney thinks that the Gedney Picking
factory is source of decided revenue
to st. Paul. as it produces a good mar
ket for farm products heretofore a
drug, and at the same time enables
the distribution of the money in st.
Paul which it pays out for these same
goods.

Consolidation of Four K. P.
Lodges to Be Made a
Banner Event
TO OCCUR IN TWO WEEKS
Grand Officers Invited to Be Present
and Committee Appointed to Ar
range Details of Inauguration
of Experiment.

The joint committe, of the four
Knights of Pythias lodges that have
voted to consolidate into one lodge,
met at Bowlby hall last night to fur
Their the plans for carrying out the
consolidation on Tuesday evening, July
Is, which date was selected by the
committee at it's last meeting.
The lodges that will be consolidated
into one on that date are Washington
lodge, No. 4S; Capitol lodge, No. 81;
Lincoln lodge, No. Is, and st. Paul
lodge, No. 43. The full power of ar
ranging for the consolidation has been
left in the hands of the committee,
which is composed of three members
from each of the four lodges.
AT the meeting last night the tenn
porary officers of the committee were
made permanent. These officers are L.
G. Schackford, chairman, and J. F.
Angel, secretary. 1t was decided to
name the new consolidated lodge st.
Paul Lodge No. 2.
An invitation was extended to Grand
Chancellor George p. Tawney, of Wi
mona, and all the rest of the grand off,
GERS to be present on the occasion of
the consolidation of the lodges.
The hall at which the consolidation
will take place has not been selected
yet, but the committee will determine
upon this at it's next meeting, which
will be held next Wednesday evening
at Bowlby hall.
On the evening of the installation
there will be a programme of music
and speeches and lunch will be served
at the conclusion of the ceremonies.
Make 1t Banner Event.
A subcommittee, consisting of Judge
Grier NJ Orr, j. F. Angel, Frank Baer
and c. A. Burtram, was appointed to
arrange the details for the consolida-
ton, and this committee will make its
report to the subcommittee at it's
meeting next Wednesday evening.
The matter of selecting the officers
for the new consolidated lodge will
also be taken up at the next meeting
of the joint committee. The committee
is sharing no pains to make this the
banner event lin Pythian circles in ST.
Paul, and 1t is expected that number
of visiting Pythians will be present.
Capitol Lodge No. 81, one of the
lodges that have voted to consolidate,
will hold it's last meeting as a single
lodge at Bowlby hall at 1880 next
Wednesday evening. After short
business session, during which the af-
fairs of the lodge will be wound up,
those present will adjourn to Gardeners
hall, on East Fifth street, where
farewell entertainment will be given
to the members and a few invited
guests. There will be good music,
speeches by prominent Pythians and
an inviting lunch.

Iowa drugstore whisky and offered me a
drink. This, of course, surprised me
whole lot, but I didn't want to take
chance of making the man of lost identity
nervous by submitting inquiries to him as
to where, how and why he had got the
whisky; so 1 took a nip along with him,
and let it go at that WE'LL to make it
short, he hit that bottle up pretty hard
within an hour after our departure, and
inside of couple hours he was pretty
we'll jagged. He invited me to play a
game Of poker with him, pulling out the
500 wad that the solid citizens had do
mated to him. and gazing at it humor-
ously. 1t struck me as something pretty
queer that a man who had clean forgot
ten all about his own identity should still
remember the somewhat involved game
of draw poker, but didn't say anything
about it. Then the young fellow took
another large swig at his bottle and
gazed at me in a rummy sort of way out
the slants Of his eyes.
Great graft, pal, amt it?' he said to
me.
whats great graft? I asked him.
=" 'ThiSh Josh o. memory scheme said
he, and then he went on drunkenly and
let the cat out Of the bag, telling me that
he had been working the dodge right
along all over the country for two or
three years past whenever he was broke,
and that he got away with cute little
bundle on the strength of it every time.
I told him that he was loafer and
blackguard and several other things, but
he was too much loaded to care by that
time, and 1 left the smoker in disgust and
went to one of the front care. He was
still jagged up when I left the train
at Chicago, and I would surely have
turned him over to the police if I'd been
certain that there was any charge upon
which he could be held in Chicago.
Three nights later I saw that young
man executing queer stunt in the
much Lighted down town district of Chi
cago. A street piano italian was play
ing his instrument in front of a prominent
saloon, and the young fellow, still very
well dressed, and pretending to be intoxi
cated-which he wasn't, then-was taking
the crank away from the Dago every
minute or so and playing the thing HIM
self, then passing the hat aroung. His
performance so tickled the crowd, who
looked upon the young fellow as thor
oughbred in devilment, that they con-
tributed literally. | followed him about
three or four widely removed points that
evening, and he repeated his dodge, ev-
erywhere getting big money, which he,
of course, split with the Sicilian organ
grinder. All in all, he was about as foxy
a CRATER as 1 ever met up with any
where" -Washington Star.

sons large amount of data has been
secured bearing on many points Of
practical as well as scientific interest
Among the findings are some that
throw light on the question, which
side of tree gives the most sap?
In the season of 1901 four trees were
selected for this work and tapped at
the usual height on the north. south,
east and west sides. The trees repre-
sented as nearly as possible all condi-
uons of exposure. The results ex-
pressed in pounds of sugar obtained

Fred H. Rankin: II it had not been
for the cannibalism of some Of tho
people of this and some European
countries, who persist in eating raw
pork, we probably would never have
heard OF trichinae outside of the lab
oratory of the chemist or the lecture
room of the scientist. How can you
protect a man-even with microscopic
inspection-who will go and deliber-
ately eat raw pork, needless of its con-
dition and in direct opposition to every
dictate of reason and every decree OF
civilization? We claim a superiority
over the Fiji Islanders, forgetful that
we have cannibals in our own midst
who eat raw pork of every conceiy-
able age and quality and then express
holy horror at the Fiji man eating
raw missionaries." A mere observ-
ance of the most primitive laws Of CTS
ilized life which demand that we make
a distinction between the cannibal and
civilized man and cook our meat food,
would be the surest safeguards for the
future of our American pork in the
provision markets of the world.

Fred II. Rankin says: Do not at
tach undue Importance to popular
strains that happen to be fashionable
or to fancy as to color of hair, ETC..
provided that you do not get outside
the color OF the breed. But 1 would
emphasize the giving of special regard
to vigor of constitution, robustness.
and capacity for digestion and assimi-
lation. Some of our more observant
breeders are coming to think that in
some of our breeds of swine, the pro-
cess OF refining the bone and tighten
ing the framework has been carried
very near to the danger line, and the
time has come to emphatically call .
halt in that direction. Too little atten-
ton is being given to securing sturdy
straight limbs and strong upright feet,
whereby the pig Is able to stand
squarely and steadily on its feet.
Among the Objectionable features te
be guarded against are the long, slen-
der, pipestem legs ending in slim, un-
certain ankles and weak feet, together
with failure to carry the meat or the
ham full and well down toward the
hook. The strong arched back, the well
sprung rib, the full heart girt, the
broad shoulders, the deep ham, the
strong underpinning, the strong.
shapely foot-these are among the
more vital points to be observed In
the building up OF good and thor
oughly useful herd of hogs. These are
the points chiefly sought after by in
telligent farmers and breeders. An at
tempt at the combination of as many
of these good points as possible in the
shaping of the farm herd is a good
thing.
