Who Offend Him.
Minneapolis, Jan. 20.-J. M. Steichen,
a wealthy farmer of northern loWa'
who passed thru Minneapolis yesterday
from Weyburn, Can, in company with
S. a. Slocum, mounted officer, is
man peculiar in many respects. lie
is being taken to his Iowa home, for
1t is believed he is suffering from IN
sanity, but the evidences are not
marked.
His principal mania appears to be
that OF spending all the money he can.
Having a fortune of about $2O0,00O he
lis able to be liberal with the green
backs.
AS he sat in the police station yes
terday he told several very peculiar and
startling tales which were corroborated
by the officer who had him in charge.
Several weeks ago when he was in
Weyburn, Can, Steichen was refused
a drink by bartender in hotel sal
Don. Steichen was angered and cha
grined over the occurrence and vowed
vengeance.
To avenge himself he went to the
owner of the hotel, and after dickering
for a few moments bought the estab-
| lishment, paying spot cash for 1t. Tri-
umphant and confident Steichen reap
peared at the hotel bar.
| You refused me drink last night, !"
, he said to the saloonkeeper, so now
you can get out or pay me SIS a day
more rent. am the owner of this
place"
The saloonkeeper was astonished, but
meekly succumbed to his superior's
wishes and is now paying double
rent.
AT another time Steichen had been
reprimanded in court by the judge for
some petty offense. In this instance
| Steichen discovered that the Judge re-
sided in rented house. This seemed
an easy proposition to him, and without
an hours delay he approached the
owner. The deal for the ownership of
the house was quickly made.
| The next day Steichen appeared at
the judges house and commanded him
to leave at once, that he himself wished
to occupy the house. With no other
alternative his honor" did as bid, and
for the second time Steichen had been
avenged.
| Officer Slocum states that the invest
ments thus made have both been good
and that Steichen is realizing good
dividend on his money.

the Jaws Of . Florida
Alligator.

While q number Of passengers were
waiting for the morning train at Pablo
Beach n day recently they heard the
wall of = child, seemingly in great dis
tress. Jerry Delaney, deputy sheriff
and a former Cincinnati policeman,
headed a number who fastened to
search for the cause of the cry. A
short distance away they saw.a big al
ligator dragging a child away, having
secured a hold of it's dress in it's mouth.
The child was shrieking in fright, says
a Jacksonville correspondent of the In
ter Ocean.
The posse rushed to its rescue, and
the alligator redoubled its efforts to-
ward getting into the bay near by. A
big dog belonging to the child came
running along and dashed at the
saurian's head. The alligator whacked
its tail around with great force and
struck the dog, knocking the animal
toward the gators mouth, which
opened with a gulp, taking in the dog.
The saurian killed the dog and swal-
lowed him with ease, dropping its hold
of the child's dress in the struggle.
The posse at once killed the gator.
1t was IS feet long. 1t is thought to
have been made %fiercer by hunger, as
1T is seldom they will attack human
beings. and especially so near a habita-
uon. The child was uninjured.

THE EMPEROR WAS BROKE.
OAs Time when william. ~ 49,
"a Ae.y, Had to borrow from HIS
fsHSSser- Brother Nsary,

. It seems incredible, yet it is a fact
that Emperor William of Germany Is
often short of money, and the reason
is because he rarely carries my
money in his pockets.
), The other day he was at a festival
with his brother, Prince Henry, and
his attention being drawn to a new
automobile machine, he resolved to put
q coin in the slot in order to see how
the apparatus worked. When he
searched for a coin, however, he could
not find n and he was obliged to Dor
row from his brother.
On various other occasions, and es-
pecially while hunting, since it is his
custom to give money tt the foresters
and other attendants, he has found il
necessary to borrow from his com
panions.
The only time when he fills his pock.
cts with money, says the Detroit Free
Press, is on Christmas eve, for it has
long been his custom to stroll at tina,
time through the streets neal the pal
ace and to give money to all deserving
persons whom he meets, but especial,
~ to children and old soldiers.
