THE BUTCHERS TROUBLES.


eve have our little pcculiarities like
other folks: I suppose said a Brooklyn
butcher. ''but some Of our customers, it
seems to me, go us few better in that
direction. A woman just came in here
and said she must have nothing but lean
meat in the future, because her son could
eat no other kind. I asked her why she
didn't give her son the lean part, cut off
the fat for herself and thus, like Jack
Spratt and his wife, do away with all
waste. That, she said, would be i'm
possible, because her son could tell in a
minute if his lean piece Of meat had been
cut from a piece that had the least bit Of
fat on it. Now, to hold her trade, we
must find a steer who is nothing but
muscles and bones, and if we give her
some Of that she will kick because her son
finds it tough. ~
Then there was a woman who objected
to the piece of three-rib roast I was cut
ting for her. She said she wanted the
usual kind of roast, not a long slice like
steak, but something round I easily
forgave her, because I learned that she
was newly married and supposed that q
round roast grew somewhere inside of the
critter already skewered and with a string
around it. then took pains to show her
how the ribs were removed and round
roast made out of the long narrow side
from which 1t was cut. Then there is the
woman who wanted to know If it was true
as she had heard, that the sausage skins
are frequently used over again, and that
rebate is allowed for their return as if
they were old clothes. I thought she was
joking, but s'help me, she wanted to know
In dead earnest. I told her that we were
not in that kind of a game

stunts.

1t seemed that for years before Mr.. Dunn
had so annoyed J. III. Chandler, the head
solicitor in the CAPACITY Of the legal de-
partment of the Duluth & Iron Range
Railroad company, that it was impossible
for him to do anything with Mr.. Chandler.
and after Mr.. Chandler resigned from that
position and Mr.. Kellogg took his place
that the two above-named men, Mr.. KEEL
logg and Mr.. Douglas, got together and
adjusted all differences in regard to this
decree between the state and the Duluth
6, Iron Range Railroad company. They
did it on a businesslike principle, without
any warfare and without injuring the in
terest of the several people who held these
1ifty-year contracts, who had spent their
money in developing those mines for. the
state Of Minnesota.
There was no disposition whatsoever on
the part of the railroad company to try
to take away from the state any Of those
lands by an error made thru a certificate
issued from the auditors office, which
certificate Mr.. Chandler tells me was GER
titled by the office and handed to him.
I am not writing this letter for any
politicals purpose, against either of the
parties, but to state the absolute facts
which came to my notice. while looking
after our interests in getting the lands
restored to the state, that our contracts
might become effective and Of some value
to us as well as the state. Respectfully

DAUGHTER RULES KAISER
BROOKLYN Eagle.

Before his daughter was born, the
Emperor William was often heard to
say that he did not want any girls;
that they complicated matters in a roy
al household, for they must have pri-
vate governesses, ladies in waiting and
must be dressed in fine linen and lace.
while boys can all be put in uniforms
that are all cut out Of the same piece
OF cloth, and they can be reared with
less attendance. But [ have it from
good authority that the young Prin-
cess Victoria rules the roost. her father
Included. She has his domineering
way.
This is the story I heard from one
who was witness to the scene. The
princess in Berlin often visited house
in which there was a wild black cat,
and she tanned it so that he would al
low her to pet it, and it would often
times go to sleep on her lap. One day
the cat got ugly, growled, went under
a chair and no one dared to 90 near
it. But the young princess got up,
went to the cat, pulled it from under
the chair, and when once more on her
lap she gave it sound thrashing, and,
strange to say, the cat took it without
protest, and in a little while went
to sleep on the lap of the princess The
father laughed when he was told the
story and said she was chip of the
old block.
