CLEVER SHORT CHANGERS.
Work Their Game With a $40 Gold
Piece and Smooth
Talk.

Two young men last night tried to
"do" a clerk in Lanes drug store,
Fifth street and Hennepin avenue, by
the short-change method. They
bought two cigars, giving in payment
therefor a $40 gold piece. When the
purchaser had received his change he
remarked that he had made a mis-
take, having intended to give the clerk
a silver dollar. But he asked for a
SO bill and for some small change.
The clerk got two SIS bills and placed
them on the counter to give the man
when he had counted out his silver.
The man, instead Of handing over the
silver, however, continued to talk, say
ing that the $40 gold piece was a
pocket piece and that he would like
to have 1t back. Then, when he got
his money counted out, he handed
that and the two SIS bills to the clerk
with the request that he return to him
the $40 piece. The clerk caught on,
however, took his two SIS bills and
quit even, before the smooth man was
aware that he was not going to get
his $40 with $40 Of the firms money
and $40 of his own.
This is the second time the game
has been tried at the same place. The
operators pal makes minor purchases
of any other employee in the store to
keep him from mixing in

And Horseshoers Say the Auto Won't
Hurt His Chances.
Having survived the invasion OF the
bicycle and having seen that vehicle rele-
gated to the useful but not stylish"
ranks, the horse is now facing without
fear the rapid increase In the use Of auto
mobiles. At least. he Is not running
away but is, instead, staying on the
field and increasing in numbers.
This is the substance Of the report made
to the national convention Of Masters
Horseshoers in st. Paul yesterday by j.
G. Buckley, statistician Of the association
and managing editor Of the Horseshoers'
Journal of Detroit.
Mr.. Buckley's report was based on fig
ures furnished from 1926 cities, which
showed that the horse was in much great
err demand now than five years ago and
that there were 5000, 900 more horses Jan.
1, 1903, than the year. before, according to
government reports. l~zaa ..,.
In combating fourteen strikes in the
year the association has expended St, 900.
Thirteen Of the strikes were won by the
masters. It is proposed to spend another
$4,000 in making an exhibition at the
st. Louis exposition. An invitation to af-
filiate with the National Federation of
Employees was S>ferred to a committee.
Last night the delegates were guests at
a smoker given in the Eagles hall, and
the ladies attending the convention were
given theater party.

MISS DAHL'S RECITAL

The program presented at the First
Unitarian church last evening by Miss
Magda Dahl, soprano, assisted by
Carlo Fischer, the 'cellist; Russell
Patterson, pianist, and the Amphion
Male quartet, attracted a goodly au-
dtence and was listened to with much
interest. She is one of Minneapolis
occasionally been heard in concert,
last evenings recital was practically
her first formal appearance.
Miss Dahl possesses many attributes
which will add materially to her ar
tistic success. Her voice, altho Of ex-
tended range, is Of a decided mezzo
quality, and is rich and warm in tim
bre. She has a winning personality, a
charming manner, and a fair and at
tractive face. In spite Of a natural
nervousness, she acquitted herself with
fair success last evening, altho she
could not quite control the vibrato in
her voice. There was also distinctly
marked tendency to fiat at times. Miss
Dahl's leading number, an aria from
sGounod's Queen Of Sheba,'' was a
severe test Of her proficiency and was
more satisfactory in the mezzo yoce
portions. Kjerulf's "Aftonstemning''
was well sung, as was the closing num-
Der, Wil1eby's "A Fairy Love Song
Miss Dahl was the recipient of a spray
OF lovely pink roses and was obliged
to respond to a number Of encores.
The surprise Of the evening was the
beautiful singing of Oscar Anderson

Male quartet. His voice is clear and
sweet and Of true tenor quality This
Organization made practically its first
public appearance on this occasion,
and while singing its first number, a
''Serenade," by Josephson, somewhat
perfunctorily, captured the audience
with the second, a jolly Scandinavian
song, and was obliged to sing again
The tonal balance is good and the
voices harmonized well.
Carlo Fischer played with his usual
success and was heartily encored. Al
times he betrays a carelessness in his
work that is unworthy Of his talents

and satisfactory accompanist, but in

Verdict Quietly Received,

The receiving of the verdict in the case
of Arthur and Dwight Jackson against the
Northern Pacific road yesterday while dis
appointing to the plaintiffs was not hu-
morously dramatic, as first reports fndi-
Gated. Arthur Jackson and his father
were there, but not the mother, as stated,
and the announcement of the small verdict
of one cent led only to a determination to
push the case farther. w.
