PERSONAL
why Father Ducey Was Panied.

Rev. Thomas ]. Ducey, the eminent
Catholic priest who. as pastor of st.
Leo's, has been a great force in New
York. not only as an ecclesiastic, but as
| public-spirited citizen with lively
interest in current affairs. was welcomed
by friends at the New Willard last even
ing. While chatting in his usual friendly
way, stranger came up and enauired
OF Father Ducey if he were not Senator
German of Maryland.
Father Ducey shook his head slowly
and a panied look crept over his fea
lures. No" said he; do l resemble the
Senator The man saw his mistake,
apologized, and hurried away.
Then Father Ducey jocularly remarked
that we had fallen upon evil times when
it was possible for priests and politicians
to be confOunded. He had never been
victim of such a mistake before. and
wondered ii the Senator had ever been
taken for Catholic priest.

Kipling's Poetic BonbsheII.

Kiplins's Poetic BombshcII.
Rudyard Kiplings muse is now the
most conspicuous figure in England.
She is brandishing a club which may
become a lever and overtu1n Il Min
istry. She has struck right and left,
and the way in which John Bull is
nursing his black and blue spots is Il
living testimonial to her muscular de-
vclopment.
In fact, the Kipling muse has caused
than poetic Some VIII dub her n
Joan of are: others viii call her Il
Nirago.
Along with many other English
men. Lord Rosebery not excepted Mr..
Kipling has appreciated the fact that
the persistent conflict in South Africa
has produced a crisis. The war enter
prise of the Dark Continent has an
unsuitable NAV for the English pound
Enough treasure TO found an empire
has been sacrificed To Mars. Victory
over the Dutch recalcitrants may be
nearer ihan il was, but, in the opinion
Of the observing world, ii is still very
far off.
Certain clnsses in the immediate
domain OF King Edward have pursued
the even tenor OF their way, allowing
certain other classes to bear the Dur
den of the country's cause, and go
down to death or crippledom as the
opponents OF British patriotism. The
fight has been desperate and long.
The nonchalance of official England
has aroused Mr.. Kipiing. The result
is few verses, pointed like the
scalpel and reeling with an irri;ant
that smarts after The penetration.
Eudyard kipling, swinging his
metre like broadsword, urges Great
Britain to the policy of conscription.
He apparently believes that by com
pulsory military service alone VIII the
principles of Albion he upheld and her
banners preserved. He has assaulted
wealthy iDdolcnce and affiuent indif-
ference with his genius, and, almost
like The skeleton at the feast, has
scattered CONSERVATION among those
TO whom sill1en ease has been birth
right.
The 81 opped ear has heard his
clarion call. Insolent disregard has
been aroused to an appreciation of
the stubborn reality. Lazy egotism
has been fiayed until it ,vinces. The
nation has been awakened from gilt
edged optimism 10 realization that
something must he done, and that
somebody must do il.
Whether Rndyard Kipling's des-
perate remedy will furnish the
sincws of war and the muscle of the
battlefield is a question. Conscription
has ever been a last resort in properly
balanced nations. But. coming so
soon after Lord Rosebcry's Chester
field speech, in which he voiced The
truth and uttered the warning, the
Kiplin@ poem must aid in giving an
impetus to some force in England

EQUALIZATION BOARD
Wind Is Fair and Bede's Joke Is Given
Point to the Waiting
Ones.

Gov Van SAINT yesterday announced
his appointments of the nine members
of the state board of equalization
from the odd numbered judicial dis
tricts.
The governor decided on the ap-
pointees several days ago, but refrain
ed from giving them out, knowing
that if he made the appointments pub
lie he would have no chance to change
his mind.
One of the capitol crowd raised
hearty laugh yesterday by telling
story which was related by J. Adam
Bede.
Someone asked Bede if the governor
had decided to lend him the support
of the administration in his congress
sional fight
We'll, | am unable to say decidedly
on that point" replied Bede. 'You see.

become a second nature to him, and

the support Of the administration in
my contest, tomorrow morning the
wind may have shifted

ITS PATH A DEADLY ONE
LOOPING THE LOOP is A LOSING
PROPOSITION IN EVERY WAY,
Smith B. Hall Says That Every Rider
Who Attempts the Ride Meets With
a Disastrous Finish-Many Women
Would Make the yenture-AII Meet
With Accidents and Give 1t Up. :.

According to Smith B. Hall, a well
known Twin City newspaper man, the
advance agent for Jarbour's loop-the-
loop, menagerie and circus, who is in
st. Paul, the loop-the-loop is creating
as much devastation and havoc on the
coast as it did in Minneapolis. The
path of the fiendish invention is every
where strewn with bones. badly brok-
en-, and bodies badly bruised, and the
available supply of daredevil riders is
diminishing every day.
Despite this fact" said Mr.. Hall.
the continuance. is the greatest. draw
ing card OF recent years, albeit that it
lssdosing money for the proprietor
every day. Hospital bills, doctor fees.
ana, damage suits come pouring in at
all hours and were it not for the fact
that our contract provides for it, the
circular track would be shortly broken
up into kindling wood
we are having the hardest time OF
our. lives trying to secure riders who
can make the loop successfully. Every
once and while, the youth with a
lust for the $1,000 week salary, bobs
up and maintains that he would lust as
soon ride: it as not. We rig up nets
IN every possible position to receive
MN when he falls, but he manages to
dodge the preservers every time so as
to be able to land on a tent pole.
NO time since the loop has been in
operation can / remember but what
we were paying some young mans
hospital expenses, and added to this
we have the difficulty of preventing
adventurous women from self-annihi-
hation. Most Of the riders after thew
nave had one fall, resign the position,
after informing us that they would not
continue for $4,000 a.7week.

The Mother Provincial, of the st.
Paul district of the order of the Good
Shepherd, mother of the Holy Cross,
returned yesterday from a three
months trip to the coast where she
went TO organize a house of the Good
Shepherd at Portland, Or.
Some eight years ago the order of
the Sisters of Refuge was established
independently in that city. AS the
work of both the above mentioned or
ders was devoted to the redemption of
fallen women, the Sisters of the
Refuge, who have no general govern
ment, such as that under which the
Sisters of the Good Shepherd work,
asked for admission, so that they, too,
might receive the benefits of that sys-
tenn of government.
After the order here decided to ac-
cept the petitioning sisters, the Mother
Provincial of the st. Paul district went
to Oregon, and some of the sisters here
understanding the work exchanged
with those at the coast.
The Mother Provincial, who left here
the end of May, speaks very enthusiast
tically of the work in Portland, which
she believes will be very successful.
There are now there in the house nine
sisters and eighteen inmates.
The work of the sisters of the Good
Shepherd in the United States is di-
vided into five districts called New
York, St. Louis, CINCINNATI, Philadel-
phia and st. Paul districts. Under the
supervision of the st. Paul district
is the work of the order in st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Mimi; Omaha, Neb.;
Helena, Mont; Portland, Or; Denver,
Col, and Seattle, Wash.

SUMMER COMPLAINT.
Proper Food Will Prevent It.

When the bowels go wrong in adults
or children, quit all food but Grape
Nuts and a little cream or milk. The
experience of one woman will be read
with interest by many mothers who
pass anxious days over little ones and
become alarmed because the food does
not agree with baby and he daily
wastes away.
Mrs. w. Ell. Mennens, of Little Falls.
Mimi, writes, II want to tell you the
good Grape-Nuts Food has done for
my baby boy. When he was 10 Months
old he was taken with summer com
plant and I could not find any pre-
pared food that agreed with him. T
was giving him doctors medicine all
the time, but he continued to lose in
weight until he only weighed Is lbs.
having weighed % lbs. before he was
taken sick. Finally the doctor told me
that Unless could get some real nour-
ishing food for him he could not live
many days and he advised me to get
Grape-Nuts Food, which I did, and in
five days he gained ounces and In
five weeks he weighed just 20 lbs.
II any mother reading this letter
wants to write to me personally / Will
gladly answer and tell her the full
particulars regarding baby's sickness
and the good Grape-Nuts did for him.

HUNT SEES BREAKERS AHEAD.
May Lose His Postoffice, but Denies
He Will Buy Civ Newsnaner

L. P. Hunt admits that McCIeary
may throw him down for a second
term in the Mankato postoffice, but
strenuously denies that he is going to
purchase a Twin City newspaper for
the purpose of booming the Little
Schoolmaster" as Senator Clapp's sue
ceSsor in 1905.
Mr.. Hunt wasin ST. Paul yesterday,
and his attention was called to T h e
G b e S exclusive report of the ten
tat1Ve scheme to GUST him from the
Mankato postoff1ce in favor of Senator
Benedict. He deplored the publicity
given the matter, but admitted that it
may be a stern reality. He may have
to step down to protect McCleary from
the aftermath of the impending fight
between Benedict and A. o. Eberhardt.
who is conteSting Benedict for the SEN
atOrial nomination.
Benedict is one Of McCleary's closest
personal friends, and has for years
been the secretary of McCleary's COM
mlttee. Everhardt is also a friend, and
has strong following. He is after
Benedict's scalp. McCleary is anxious
to avoid a row in his own camp, and
benedict must be cared for Benedict
has not yet filed, and frequent conf1x
ences between him and Eberhardt have
set the local political wizards figuring.

LUNCH WAGONS DAYS
ARE NOT YET OVER

ORoortunity to Eat in the Cor

It's committee on license yesterday aft
ernoon, when the members oHthe COM
mlttee unanimously voted to nrS>ke an
unIaVoraDle report on Aid. Hubsr's
resolution in regard to abolishing the
nlgnt OWL lunch wagons, the few men
IN st. Paul who make their living in
TINS manner will not have to close up
their wagons for some time at least.
Inc resolution was introduced in the
board OF aldermen by Aid. Huber and
was passed by that body. When the
matter came, before the assembly 1T
was referred to the committee on Ii
cense Tor investigation, and at the
committee meeting yesterday after
noon number of the owners of these
lunch wagons, headed by A. P. Low,
were present to protest against the
passage of the resolution.
The lunch wagon owners made the
plea they We're running a legitimate
business, and that what money they
mad was IN their business. Assembly
man Doran stated that he was not in
favor of abolishing the wagons. and
accordingly moved to make an unfa-
VorabIe report. The Il same view was
taken by the other two members of
the committee, and Mr.. Doran's motion
was unanimously adopted
The committee also decided to make
an unfavorable report on the new show
ordinance, which, if passed, will re-
quire all circuses and shows to deal
directly with the council in asking for
licenses. The members of the commit
tee were all of the opinion that II
would be better to fix a permanent
license schedule to govern all classes
of shows and circuses, So that the an
piicants could go direct to the city
clerk.
This would do away with having ia
call extra sessions of the board of al
dermen and assembly every time any
one wanted license, in case these
bodies did not have a regular meet
Ing night before the time for which the
license was wanted.
A number Of liquor licenses were
also passed upon without any com

OFFERS DUCATS TO GET
HIS DAUGHTER BACK
Toler Accuses His Prospective Father
in-Law of Stealing His Step
Child, and Eloping.

The Toler- Galley matrimonial con-
troversy, which has been aired in the
police court several times, has taken
on a new phase. Instead of A. H
Toler marrying William Gailey's
daughter Galley has left the city and
Toler claims he took with him Stella
Mars, Toler's stepdaughter.
The affair has now reached a stage
of acute complication.
Toler and Galley have heretofore
been combined against Mrs. Galley,
who sought to prevent the marriage
between her fifteen-year-old daughter
and TOler, who is fifty-four years of
age and the father of children older
than his prospective bride.
During all the previous trouble Cal
ley strove to bring about the marriage,
even going to the extent of kicking in
his own doors to intimidate his wife,
who kept the disputed daughter in
side.
Now Galley has departed with Toler's
daughter, and the latter is Offering
5000 reward for his apprehension.
