Governor S., r. Van SAINT, after
swearing off" for a year, has once
more become addicted to the weed.''
And thereby hangs a tale.
Something over year ago Min
nesota's chief executive went to Chi
cago. Up to that time he had for
many years enjoyed his quiet smokes,
altho he never was a tobacco f1end.
While in Chicago, in company with
a prominent physician, he pulled a
cigar out Of his pocket and started
smoking.
you do that for?'' was the surprising
remark Of the noted physician. 1T
doesn't do you any good. It's a bad
example for you to set, and you've
got too much brains to waste your
time putting at one end Of a dirty
roll Of tobacco"
This was stiff talk from a stranger
to governor Eat first I felt angry .
said the governor, in relating the story
to a friend, land then the real good
sense Of his remarks struck me.

quit smoking"
A short time ago, while the gov

in his pocket. He pulled it out. II

with flying colors, he put it in his
mouth. It tasted good. A few min.

the tapering end Of the weed. All

IT thought you'd quit smoking, gov

capitol to his excellency day or sc

DYNAMITE rs USED
Search for Lawrence Byers' Body I
Without Success.

Search for Lawrence Byers' Body Is
Without Success.
Relays of Central High school boys
are helping the police to drag Lake
Calhoun for the body Of Lawrence
Byers, supposed to have been drowned
early in the week. III .1ys
The, graphing irons have been dis
carded and the lake bottom is now be
ing dragged by means of a. weighted
cable several hundred feet long with
hooks placed at every foot. This is
lowered and dragged along by boat
at each end. Tents hAve been erected
on the shore and the searchers work
night and day. %s ssl4 Es.ii I,
This morning several dynamite cart
ridges were exploded in the lake i'm
the general locality where the body
is supposed to lie. Many fish were
killed, but there was no other result.
A member of the family to-day de-
MED rumor that had gained some
currency to the effect that young
Byers had recently suffered a serious
disappointment and had threatened to
leave home. He said that not only
were family relations wholly pleasant,
but that Lawrence was not of a dis
position which would prompt such ac-
ton. The canoe from which he is be-
lieved to have fallen was a light can
vas affair and extremely cranky unless
heavily ballaSted.

THEATER LEASE STANDS
Open Air Performances Assured
Twenty eighth Street and Hennepln

There will be summer opera In an open
air theater at Twenty eighth street and
Hennepin avenue. When it was announced
that Addison Madeira had leased the old
Russell homestead for open air perfor-
mances, there was a prompt protest from
nearby residents, but the trustees of the
estate to-day decided that they could not
cansel the agreement already made.
Mr.. Madeira explained that he was will
ing to make any reasonable concessions to
those who have feared that the open air
theater would attract undesirable gather
ings, even tho the institution itself might
be conducted in a manner above criticism.
ontracts with some well-known operatic
artists had already been made and under
the circumstances Mr.. Madeira felt that he
would be seriously embarrassed If the the
ater lease were Cancelled.
