Very Easy For Her.

A "woman's reason" with all its ira
ditional lack Of logic, came out in an
amusing fashion at recent dinner
party in Brooklyn.
In the course Of the evening the con-
versation drifted around to hose odd
little mathematical bits Of the ''How
old is Ann?" variety, when one Of the
company, with explanations that the
next problem would not be very diff
ficult one, questioned as follows:
IF bottle and cork together cost
S1.1O and the bottle cost a dollar more
than the cork, how much did the cork
costw
Almost instantly one Of the ladies
was ready with the answer:
"Why, the cork cost S cents and the
bottle $105. That's too easy"
The lady's husband, familiar through
years Of experience with her woeful
lack Of skill in figures, looked up in
astonishment.
"Heavensr' be exclaimed. "How did
you come to get that 30 soonT'
"Why, my DEAR" was the reply,
"corks always cost cents, don't theyY'

Lord Roberts, Dish Of ortolan,.

Lord Roberts Dish OF Orto1anB.
When Lord Roberts was out in India
he went to visit a hill station where
there was much difficulty in securing
a variety Of food. In fact as far as
meat went, the officers were practical
ly reduced to living on ortolans, which,
as every one knows, are tiny birds
much esteemed as D. table delicay. On
the evening on which the commander
in chief arrived be was asked what
he would like for breakfast. what is
there?' asked the visitor. "Well," was
the answer, I'VE have ortolans." 'That
will do" replied Lord Roberts. LET
me have some ortoians." Now, the Of.
ficer who supertntended these matters
was in the habit OF going out every
morning and shooting his own ortolans
but as he was busy on this occasion
with extra parade and staff duties he
gave his gun and cartridges to bis
boy" bidding him 60 out and shoot as
many .ortolans as possible for breakfast
The "boy" went off and after time
returned, not with dainty ortolans, but
with common hedge sparrows. There
was nothing for it but to serve them
up, and when the cover was removed,
10 and behold, thirty sparrows cooked
on toast! The commander in chief, it
is said, ate four Of them with good
appetite and without making any OBJ.

JOHNSON JURY
AGREES QUICKLY
Ex-sUPERINTENDENT OF POOR
PROMPTLY ACQUITTED.
Jury Was Out Less Than Twenty Min
utes-Accused Man Takes Jury's
Action as a Complete Vindication-
Still Another Indictment Hangs
Over Him.

William H. Johnson, superintendent
of the Ames poor department, indicted
for criminal Irregularities in the con-
duct of his office, has been acquitted.
In less than twenty minutes after
retiring the Johnson jury last night
reached verdict. Judge c.. B. Ell
lott was found as speedily as possible
and the verdict of mot guilty. was
heard by the delighted defendant in
less than forty-five minutes from the
time the courts charge was COM
pleted. The dispatch with which the
decision was reached established a
new record in important cases and is
cited by Mr.. Johnson as complete vim
dication.
The defendant was the recipient of
the hearty congratulations of his
friends and relatives and he in turn
thanked the court and jurors for the
fair treatment and trial he received at
their hands. Mr.. Johnson was natur-
ally very much pleased with the out
come Of the trial, but had little to say
except that it was as it should be, that
was sorry for Charles H. Brown, who
had admitted his own guilt and had
attempted to shoulder share of it
upon his former chief.
There remains an old indictment
charging johnson with the misappro-
priation Of poor department funds.
The defendant was tried under this
charge and found guilty but given a
new trial by Judge Elliott. Whether
another trial will be moved or the in
dictment nol1ed is not known at pres
ent, altho it has been intimated that
Johnson is not out Of the brush yet.

planned to do auxiliary work with the
old organization, and to assist in any
way the advancement of Minneapolis
The first step will be toward looking
after improvements for the North
Side.
Wallace G.. Nye, secretary of the
Commercial club, was present and adj
dressed the assembly. He told of the
good that might be accomplished by

RUNAWAY GIRLS
They Appear at the Dewey This Week In
a Good Show

Clark's "Royal Runaway Girls give a
highly entertaining performance at the
Dewey this week. The company is all that
one looks for in vaudeville show and
something more BESIDES for there is not a
weak number from beginning to end. The
chorus sings more than little, and has
the requisite standard Of physical charms,
and a dazzling variety Of picturesque
costumes. The opening musical extrava-
ganza, "a Kings Reception, gives every
body a chance to display talent for sing
ing and dancing, and the closing bur-
lesque, "a Mixed Affair."" produces a
hearty laugh every minute or two.
Many unique stunts are introduced by
Darenda and Green, a team of jugglers
and club swingers. Their skin is mar
Vicious and the element of humor injected
in no wise interferes with the performance
itself.
The Burg sisters, Clara and Babetta,
have strong voices, and cavort about in
an entertaining sort of a manner. The
inevitable German team, Reynolds and
Guhl, is there, but they are neither stale
nor tiresome. They are really funny and
their gags" are new. pretty and
graceful performance On special aerial APP
paratus is given by the La Walls James
has fine muscular development and his
feats evoke the admiration Of the audi
ence. Miss La Vail is also clever.
George T. Davis and Rosalie finish the
olio with skit entitled Much Ado About
Nothing" Davis has a fine barytone voice
particularly suited for ballad singing, and
Rosalie is no mean vocalist herself. The
two give a refined turn.

CLEAN UP!
CLEAN OUT!
keep CLEAN!

Dirt is the mother of all disease. Abolish
dirt and health follows. Uncle Sam cleaned
up the harbor and city of Havana and the yellow
fever stopped. Personal cleanliness means more
than regular bathing. You should keep clean
inside. A bath opens the pores of the skin, but
only a small portion of the body's excrement Is
thrown off through this channel. One cannot
expect to feel we'll will, the intestines and d.
gestive tract filed with decaying matter. Clean
1t up, clean it out. and keep the tract clean IL
you want to stay healthy. Don't do this with
strong purgatiyes While they will "clean you
OUT for the time being, they are so weakening
in their effect the system that they usually
do more harm than good.
What one needs to keep clean inside is a
gentle. easy but certain laxative like Vernal
Palmettona formerly known Vernal Saw
Palmetto Berry Wine).
1t can be depended upon to do the work
every time, without gripping weakening the
system in any way. People who have suffered
for years from chronic constipation have been
cured to stay cured by VernaI Palmettona. We
don't ask you to take our word for this; we want
you to test and try it at our expense. We will
send to any one who writes for it free sample

a superb remedy this is. Only dose day
does the work; You don't have to derange your
system with powerful, nauseous drugs to get the
required action. Vernal Palnettona is not a
remedy for constipation alone. For kidney dis
eases and bladder troubles it is unequaled, while
Its restorative power is almost miraculous in
cases. of sexual weakness, caused by enlargement
of the prostate gland. Remember. the sample

THINKS BREWERS
ARE VERY STRONG
CATCHER BUCKWALTER SAYS
CANTILLON HAS FAST TEAM.
Mckay and Steele Should Make Good
on the slab-Infield and outfield
Strong Aiso-Louisville Shy on Bat
terry Men-Fargo Team Looks Very
Good

Percy Buckwalter, the catcher pur-
chased by Manager Perry Werden of
Fargo from the Milwaukee team of
the American association, arrived in
Minneapolis this morning. Buck
walter says that the Milwaukee team
looks even stronger than last years,
and he predicts that it will make a
good fight for the pennant in the as
ISOLATION.
Milwaukee had all the best Of the
opening series with Louisville he
said. '"The critics have been saying
that Cantillon did not have the pitch
ers, but they are wrong in this est1-
mate. Mckay and Steele, Ithink, will
prove as strong as any men In the
association this year. 1 see also that
Cantillon has secured Curtis from
Cleveland, and these three, with Mere
dith, will make as good bunch as any
team in the league has. Mueller, the
La Crosse man, has been doing good
work also.
.sMilwaukee's outfeld appears very
strong. Hempilill, Of course, is as good
as any man in the league. Stone, the
Boston recruit, is very fast and a good
hitter, and Pencil, the Texan, is
showing UP in great style. Bateman,
another Texas Lacquer, on first, is
playing a great game and hitting the
ball, for keeps. When he gets 1t on
the ground the infelders simply can
not handle the hit. O'Brien is playing
a fast game at second, and Clark, Sc
cured from Comiskey, will prove a
great third baseman. Wolf should
have joined the team by this time, and
will strengthen the club behind the
bat.
Louisville does not look strong in
pitchers. Swormstedt, who is sup
posed to be very good man, evident.
ly is not in shape yet, and was hit
hard in the game he pitched agains1
Milwaukee. The only thing he hac
was a high slow ball, and after the
fifth inning the brewers. went after
him right. Bohannon is not in condi
ton either, and the other men do no
look strong. Campbell showed VI

lucky. In the second Milwaukee hi

Started.
On the return Of Bishop I. w. Joyce from
South America a movement was started
for the completion of so much of the new
Asbury hospital building at NTH
avenue 8 and Fourteenth street
as is needed at present. The
building is already inclosed and it is
planned to finish the north wing and the
main building now. This work will cost
$4,000. Nothing has been done on the
building for over a year. A new feature
proposed is a memorial chapel on the sec
ond floor to seat about 100 persons in hon
or Of the late 8. c. Robinson, for several
years vice president of the board Of direct
ors. The original estimate of the cost of
the hospital was $25O,OO0. Already $780,
600 has been spent and it is probable that
the total will reach 100000. The decision
to resume work on the building was
reached at meeting Of the directors at
the home Of Mrs. Sarah Knight whose
mother turned the first spade Of earth in
1901, and for whose father, Asbury Harri-
son, the hospital is named.

GOADED TO DESPERATION
Colored Man Makes Futile Attempts
at Suicide.

Paul Jackson, a negro, attempted
to commit suicide last night because
his companions leased him about be-
ing whipped in a fight with a woman.
He fired one shot from a revolver at
his head, but missed, and when his
companions disarmed him he drew a
razor and slashed his neck. He will
recover.
Another futile attempt to commit
suicide was that Of John A. Dvorak,
299 Erie street, st. Paul. Dvorak took
carbolic acid and tried to cut his own
throat with a broken teacup. He will
recover. The man had made two pre-
vious attempts to end his life.

ARGUED FOR RUSSIA
Rev. J. M. cleary Says Y. S. Should Sym.
pathize with the Gar.

poshi&S Will s'S S<dIs
At the annual open meeting of the Six
O'Clock club last evening at the CONNER
cial club Rev. J. M. Cleary discussed the
Russo-Japanese war. From the friendly
attitude of Russia at times when the
United States was woefully in need OF
support and recognition, he argued that
the sympathies Of this country should be
with the car in the present struggle. It
was also urged that the United States
should give its moral support to Russia
because it was a Christian nation.
Professor w. M. West, Charles N
Chadbourn and Rev. j. c. FAIRIES partici-
pated in the impromptu discussion which
followed the address, taking the opposite
side and arguing that whatever obliga-
ton this country might owe to Russia had
been more than offset by the unholy ag-
gressions of the Slavs in the orient.
