We have all heard of putting salt on
the tail of birds. foxes, etc, in order to
catch them. but there is way by
which one may pick up a drummer
partridge alive and unframed, without
even putting salt on it's tail, according
to a correspondent of the Maine Woods.
We must all plan to try his method,
next spring. He writes as follows:
II once overheard some native French
men talking in a commonplace way of
knocking cartridges off the log with a
club while in the act of drumming, and
inquired into the particulars of how it
was done. When l presumed to express
doubts about the success of the under
taking, l found myself an object of
more or less ridicule and laughter. The
trick they said, was no trick at all.
All one has to do is TO get within fair
gunshot from behind the bird, and
wait till it starts to drum. When it is
we'll into it's work-the wings just be-
ginning to whirl in the rumble in which
the drumming always ends-make a
sudden dash and capture it. 1t will be
found with it's eyes closed, the ruffie
around it's neck high up around its
head. deaf and blind to all else but its
own silly fluttering, and can be caught
in the hands,

The greatest change that has been
made in bicycles for years appears this
year in the form of a chainless wheel
with two-speed gear. The first speci-
mems of this 1908 model are now reach
ing the agents. The surprise is in the
face that while it is radical departure,
no one would know it by looking at it.
To the casual glance it is a new and
handsomely furnished chainless with a
coaster brake. Yet riding it a wheel
man may change his gear at will from
6S to 101 and without anyone noticing
the act. 1t is all done by tap of the
foot on the pedal. Formerly with a
coaster brake model there were two re-
suits from back pedaling, the first was
that of coasting and the second that of
putting on the brake. Now there are
three things that can be done by
manipulation of the pedals. The
change of speed comes between the
coaster and the brake action. By
ceasng to press forward on the pedals
the coaster is brought into play;
sharp but not heavy tap downward on
rising pedal gives a change of gear
and the brake is applied by harder
and more continued pressure back
ward.

ed Romance.

Miss Vina Reitz, the pretty young
girl who was to have become the wife
of Joseph Placek Monday night, has
returned to her home in Boomer, Wis,
where she was formerly a country
school teacher.
After the discovery was made that
,Placek had never been divorced from
his first wife, the girl, broken-hearted,
agreed to return to her home, and
Court Commissioner Gallick, who in
terested himself.in the case, purchased
her half-rate ticket. and she went
back to her parents in Wisconsin.
The girl came here some time ago,
at the solicitation of Placek, who told
her he had been divorced from his
wife an that he would marry her
At the time he tried to secure a mar
riage license it was discovered that
his divorce. decree was a forgery and
that he had never been divorced from
his first wife The girl then left
Placek and determined to return to
her home, WHICH she had left on his
account. -

WON'T RIDE FREE
Equalization Board Declines
Lowry's Courtesy.

Because the assessment Of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company is still
pending and the state board Of equali-
cation is even now forming a rush line
to give that assessment some pretty
rough treatment. the members Of the
beard decided yesterday that they
could not consistently accept favors
from the company. Hence a tender of
special car to convey the board mem
bers to Saltwater to take dinner at the
prison with Warden Wolfer was de-
clined. For other reasons the dinner
invitation also has been declined. Some
Of the members expressed themselves
as not disposed to spend the money and
the time necessary to make the trip,
and as it is not necessarily a part of
the duties of this board to visit the
prison, 1T was decided not to go.
The committee on franchises and
public service corporations announced
to the board yesterday that Tuesday
next has been decided upon as the time
for hearing representatives of the COM
panies assessed in that class. The
committee will, in the meantime, de-,
vote a great deal of time to considera-
ton of the important subject allotted
to 1t and to the formulation of an
equitable plan of assessment
Early in the afternoon the members
of the board started for Minneapolis,
where they spent the remainder of the
day and evening as the guests of Emer-
SON Cole, the Minneapolis member.

ARBITRATORS FAIL
TO MAKE TERMS
So Twin City Coremakers May
Be Called Out In a
Strike.

Failure of board of arbitration, ap-
pointed by the foundrymen and the
molderS for the purpose of adjusting
schedule for the coremakers, to reacn
an agreement may result in a strike of
the coremakers of the Twin Cities.
A board of arbitration, consisting Of
0. 2. Briggs and o. Cannard, of Min
neapolis, and A. J. Brawley, of st. Paul,
representing the foundrymen, and
John Campbell, second vice president
OF the Iron Molders' Union of North
America, Victor ST. Martin and Charles
Reiffneck, representing the coremakers
have been in session at the Merchants
hotel since Monday, but yesterday ad-
journed without coming to an agree
ment.
The differences between the core
makers and the foundrymen will now
be referred to the executive board of
the union, and upon the action taken
by that board depends the outcome of
the difficulty.
The coremakers demanded a sched-
ule on the basis of that conceded to
the molders last June, and presented
their requests to the foundrymen in
August, and, on being refused, went
out on a strike. AS the action of the
coremakers at that time was unauthor-
lied by the union, the strike was call
ed off and the matter was referred to
the arbitration board.
The coremakers demand a minimum
rate of % cents per hour, or $3.50 per
day. They are at present receiving
about 26 cents per hour. The foun-
drymen were willing to grant the in
crease demanded, but refused to estab-
lish the minimum rate.

brary Quarters.

If the board of education can secure
all Of the space in the court house for
merly occupied by the public library,
these quarters will be sufficient for it's
present needs.
So the special committee, of which
Inspector Sayard is chairman, report
ed to the board at the meeting of yes
terday, and it was agreed among the
members that unless the entire west
end Of the upper floor of the building
can be secured the accommodations
will not be accepted.
AT present, however, there are OBJ
stacles, as City Probation Officer
Graves and Thomas Montgomery,
county superintendent of schools, are
occupying three of the choicest Offices
In the suite.
There are In all eight offices in the
portion of the building which the board
would like to get, and although the
members feel that the removal to the
court house would have its disadvan-
tages and inconvenience, they would
be willing to put up with those for the
sake of the economy in rent.
The board is now in offices in the
New York Life building, for which it
pays $3.50 a year, and the supervisors
of drawing and music have a room on
the top floor of the same building, the
rent OF WHICH is $96 per year. Prof.
Hermann, supervisor of physical cul-
ture, Is obliged to be contented under
the present arrangement with desk
room in one of the corridors at the
Central high school building.
The report of the committee was ac-
cepted and President Holman and Supt
Smith were requested to frame a letter
to the joint court house and city hall
commission representing to that body
the situation of the board and its needs
as to room.
