Can't Live 1t Down.
Capt. Hobson, who was the discov-
erer or inventor of collective kissing,
has again obtained the center of the
stage through no fault of his own
Every one knows that all the Hobson
nero wants is to retire to private life
and never be heard of again In spite
OF this, fate is constantly placing him
In positions that fit sensational head
lines. Only three days ago he saved
the life of a young woman who Insist
ed upon throwing herself into the riy-
err more, it is suspected, for publica-
tlon than as guarantee of good fate
Ana save her he did. Her name was
Cerf and she got very wet, but she can
tell her grandchildren that her life was
once saved by a hero and also have
the satisfaction of knowing that she
rescued one Hobson from oblivion.

Couldn't Shut II Off.
When whistle began to blow the
other day at Oyster Bay and kept it up
Ior several hours, CONSERVATION seized
upon the inhabitants. Every one ran
hlthef and yon and wondered whether
another yellow dog had passed away.
or whether his excellency had again
Deen thrown to the ground. No one
knew what had happened, but that
something was going forward was
quite evident. And when so small a
village as Oyster Bay has q president

to happen. 1t might portend that the
great man was going out for a drive
or walk, or perchance that he was
returning, it might mean the complete

est inhabitant. But such was the case
The remarks of the fireman and enpi-
neer were almost as forcible as the
whistling.
A Matter of Teeth.
Mans inhumanity to man is not Of
ten more forcibly instanced than in the
case of recent affair between Mr..
Frenz and Mr.. Barton which occurred
lately in West st. Paul. They got into
a discussion about something that does
not matter, but what does matter is
that Mr.. F'renz knocked two teeth out
out of the mouth of Mr.. Barton and
then refused to purchase two more
teeth for the accommodation of his foe
1t resulted in Mr.. FrenZ having to paw
$40 fine for his misdemeanor, whereas
II ne had bought two new teeth for Mr.
Barton no further trouble would have
resulted. If Mr.. Frenz has ever been
on Seventh street he must know that
ne could buy two bushels Of brand new
teeth for $40; but no, let Mr.. Barton
get his own teeth and get them to fit.
This, with the pickle difficulties, which
will not down, makes life on the West
side a strenuous one.
Tramp Dogs in Luck.
That Chicago women have large
hearts is not novel idea, but that
they should evidence their kindness
by founding a home for tramp dogs
makes every one bow before them.
There are 100 women concerned in this
benef1cent plan, led by Mrs. White, of
Michigan avenue, who suffers keenly
in the suffering of stray CANNES. She
is vice president of the Chicago Ken
mel club, and is herself the owner of
the finest Japanese spaniels in the
country, so it will redily be seen that
Mrs. White knows what's what in the
dog line. These philanthropic women
are now preparing a residence where
sick and destitute dogs will be given
all the comforts of home free gratis
for nothing, and where dog biscuit will
be constantly on tap. Chicago is work
ing up and in the near future there
may be such a home inaugurated for
sick and destitute babies.
Needed the Money.
A young man in Minneapolis gave as
excuse for sealing some money that he
wanted a gun and had no money with
which to purchase it. And what more
natural than that he should place him
self in circumstances where a gun may
easily be bought? While he has been
condemned by some persons, others
realize that life is not very safe in our
Twin City just now without gun, and
the youth might make a strong plea on
the ground of self-defense The
thought of any man being at large af-
ter nightfall in a city without a mayor
or chief of police and with all the reg
ular and gentlemanly confidence men
locked up, is enough to terrorize even
the most heroic soul. NAB.
