PONY, WHITE HOUSE GUEST.
Pet of Archie Roosevelt Rides Up in
Elevator and Visits Him in
HIS Sick Room.

All white house records have been
broken to please little Archie Roose-
welt. Until the presidents son fell
sick with the measles no horse had
ever entered the white house, ridden
in the elevator and been a welcome
guest in one of the bedrooms. Arches
pony, Algonquin, however, has expe-
rienced such journey, and in addition
received an affectionate greeting.
Soon after Archie began to conva-
1esce he begged to be allowed to see
his spotted pony, his constant COM
panion when he is we'll. 1t was too
soon for Archie to leave his room and
Mrs. Roosevelt was compelled to de-
cline the request, Charles, the groom
who looks after Algonquin, and is a
great chum of Archie, thought that if
Archie wanted to see his pony he
should do so.
Without confiding his plan to any
one the groom led the pony into the
white house the other day and along
the corrido into the elevator. The t.
tendants were too much surprised to
say word until after the elevator
had disappeared. When the second
floor was reached Charles led the pony
to Archie's room and ushered it in.
Archie was delighted and the pony also
seemed to enjoy the visit

Since the above was put in type in
formation reaches US to the effect that
the error was made by printer and
not by the enrolling clerk. The Jour-
nal makes the following explanation:
The "red oil CAM law ia all right
after all. 1t was q mistake OF the
printer, ana not Of the enrolling clerk,
which put an extra mot" in the
printed copy of the law, and made
kerosene xs we'll as gasolene cans a
red color. The enrolled copy Of the
bill deposited with the secretary of
state reads all right.
When the fact that q mistake had
been made nullifying the bill WAS pub.
lished, letters Of inquiry began to
pour into the Office of lhe secretary OF
state, and an investigation was made
The enrolled copy was compared with
the printed law, and 1t was found that
the printer had slipped the extra
mott into the latter copy, which
made it require kerosene cans as we'll
as gas0lene to be cOlOred red. The
proper correction will be made in the
pound volumes of the session laws.
The law goes into effect July l. 1t
req uires the can or contalner in which
gasolene or benzine Is sold to be col
ored red, and makes it misdemeanor
to sell kerosene in req package.
The law does not apply to barrels,
but to quantities Of IRON One pint to

TheY Met Thor Waterloo.

We don't like to mention it but we
must. Willmar sent q delegation of
ball players to Glenwood and the
team of that city "walloped' the boys
to the tune of II to 2. The battle was
waged on Thursday and the van
quished foe left for home the same
evening to bear the tidings of defeat
to the loved ones at home. In justice
to the Willmar players it can truth
fully be said that the makeup of the
team was such that big things were
not looked for. In order to fill the
engagement with Glenwood several
substitutes were placed on the team on
account of the inability of some of
the original players to leave here.
Booth, Glarum and Campbell were
the battery for Willmar and Abra-
hanson and Wollan for Glenwood.
The boys promise to be in better
shape for the return game here on
May 30. Now watch the Glenwood
papers for q full report of the glori-

ANCIENT LAW CODE.
Babylonian Rules Which Date Back
to the Time of Noah.
Cambridge Professor Translates The
Writings on a Monument Found
at Susa, One OF the Capitals
OF Ancient Persia.

A remarkable code of laws, which
existed soon after the period when
Noah left the ark, and which would
have done credit to the twentieth
century, has been translated by C. H.
w. Jones, lecturer in Assyriology at
Queens college, Cambridge, and pub
lshed in Edinburgh.
These laws which were enacted bv
Hammurabi, king of Babylon, whose
rule extended from the mouths of
the Tigris and Euphrates to the Med
1terranean coast, were discovered by
a French expedition in January of
last year on monument at Susa (the
Shushan of the Old Testament), one
OF the capitals of ancient Persia.
The monument itself consisted of a
block of black diroite. or greensboro,
nearly eight feet high.
The first of the laws deals with
witchcraft, and declares that if q
man 'weaves a spell or put ban up
on a man" he shall be put to death.
There also seems to have been some
trouble with burglars. for law Fl
states: "If man has broken into
a house, one shall kill him before the
breach. and bury him in it,
Divorce was an easy matter for a

RED OIL cAN"LAW
Does Not Include KovoSono In It's Pro-
visions-1aistske Subject Of
Much Comment. -

The ''red oil can" law as printed is
a mistake. The law requires gasoline
but not kerosene TO- be sold in red
cans. The enrolled bill in the Office
of the secretary of state does not con-
tain the word "not' as it appears in
the printed law, as follows: "Any
manufacturer who shall sell or cause
to be sold any kerosene or illuminat-
ing oils in any can or container when
such can or container is not of q red
color shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor." This is the way the Min
neapolis Journal calls attention to the
new law governing the sale of gaso-
line, benzine and kerosene in certain
quantities. AS it now stands it is q
question as to whether the law can be
enforced, and dealers and consumers
alike are puzzled. The intent of the
law is very good, as it requires gaso-
line only to be sold in red cans, there
by distinguishing it from kerosene
and preventing many accidents. For
the benefit of those who may not have
read the law or taken the trouble to
look it up we republish it as follows:
An act to govern the sale OF gaso-
line, benZlne and kerosene in cer-
tain quantities and prescribe penal
ties for violation thereof.
Be it enacted by the legislature of the
State of Minnesota:
Section !. Any manufacturer, ven-
dor or dealer who shall sell, cause to
be sold, fill or cause to be filled for
the purpose of sale or other use, any
can or other container with gasoline
or benzine, in quantities of more than
one pint and less than six gallons,
without such can or other c0ntainer
being Of bright red color and plainly
tagged, labeled or branded in large
plain letters, with the name of the con-
tents, or any manufacturer, vendor or
dealer who shall sell or cause 10 be
sold, fill or cause to be filed for the
purpose of sale or other use with
kerosene or other Illuminating oils,
in quantities of more than one pint
ana less than six gallons, any can or
other container is not of q red color,
shall be deemed guilty of misde:
meanor, and, upon conviction, shall
be subject to fine OF not more than
one hundred dollars.
