PRIVATE is A JOKER
Deserts From Smelling and Wis.,
It's Recruiting Offices

Whether 1t was remorse or lack of q
square meal that caused Private Peter
L1ttenberger of Company + of the
twenty eighth infantry to report him
self at several recruiting offices after
desertlng the regiment at Fort Shell
ing ten days ago is not certain, but
hurried kilograms telling the officers
OF the regiment that Littenberger had
called first at once office and then an.
other and asked to be sent back to his
company were of frequent occurrence
last week.
Littenberger disappeared from Shell
ing during the early part of the month
and was not heard from again until a.
wire was received by the officer in
command March 70. The telegram
came from La Crosse and stated that
the man had surrendered and request
ed that transportation be given him to
get back to the post
Authorization was Immediately sent
10 La Crosse to forward the. prisoner
but when it arrived Littenberger was
not to be found. In the meantime a
guard had been made ready to go after
the prisoner, but when it was discov-
cred that he had once more disap-
peared the guard was temporarily dis
missed.
He was next heard of in Milwaukee.
where he applied to the recruiting
officer and asked to be sent back, fol-
lowing practically the same method as
he had used before
Before the authorities had a chance
to look into his story he again changed
his mind and decamped to Chicago.
When he applied at the recruiting Of
nee there he was arrested and put In
the guard house.

PROVERB CONTEST
GROWS MORE KEEN
Demand for Back Numbers o
The Globe Increases as
End Draws Near

The great proveTb contest is two
thirds finished today, but the interest
In 1t-great at the start-has increased
with the passing of each day until now
that the contestants are entering the
homestretch for the final drive up to
the winning post, each issue is eagerly
taken by the thousands who are going
TO submit lists of answers.
The demand for back numbers of
L G lob e containing the proverb
pictures is assuming large proportions,
as many of the contestants who are
doubtful about the reading OF one or
more of the proverbs are contemplat-
ing sending in double and triple lists
They figure that stitch in time saves
prize money and are taking the stitch
IN their proverbial armor
one case was noted on Iglehart
street, where whole family has been
solving the proverbs, that illustrates
the Ola saying, too many cooks spoil
the broth"
Early in the contest all agreed on
the readings, but finally hard one to
the family cropped up. The various
members finally agreed on three sepa-
rate readings. Then all went we'll
again and between the six members of
the family three sets of the back num-
bers were bought.
Then last week there was another
that puzzled the family. And as mat
tiers turned out three more construc-
tons were presented. The three diff
ferent answers were finally put in their
| respective piles of solutions. and yes
terday IL occurred to one member that
there was a possibility even Suppos-
ing that the forty eight proverbs to
which they hope to get Identical an
.swers are correct, and that the correct
solution OF each disputed problem is
contained in the sets being made up by
the family, that the family may not
nave correct set Of answers even
then.

THE SIMPLE LIFE
Ways That Are Pleasant and Paths
That Are Peace

1t is the simple life that gives length
of days. serenity of miEd and body and
tranquility of soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions, bounded
by the desire to do good to one's1fleigh-
bors. simple pleasures, habits, food and
drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences-they climb too high
and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that a simple diet
has done her:
4 have been using Grape Nuts for
about six months. 1 began rather
sparingly. until 1 acquired such liking
for 1t that for the last three months I
have depended upon it almost entirely
for my diet, eating nothing else what
ever but Grape Nuts for breakfast and
supper, and I believe could eat it for
dinner with fruit and be satisfied
without other food, and feel much bet
ter and have more strength to do my
homework.
When I began the use Of Grape
Nuts / was thin and weak, my muscles
were so soft that was not able to do
any work. 1 weighed only 10S pounds.
] Nothing that 1 ate did me any good. L
| was going down hill rapidly, was nerv-
| Gus and miserable, with no ambition
! for anything. My condition improved
! rapidly after I began to eat Grape
! Nuts food. 1t made me feel like a new
woman; my muscles got solid, my fig
ure rounded out, my weight increased
| to 126 pounds in few weeks, my
nerves grew steady and my mind bet
| ter and clearer. My friends tell me
they haven't seen me look so well for
| years.
Il consider Grape-Nuts the best food

RAILROAD EARNINGS
SHOW FALLING OFF
State Tax Receipts for 1904
VIII Be 100000 Below
1908 Figures

The thirty-four railroad companies
doing business in Minnesota earned
more than 100000 less during the
year ending June 80, 1904, than during
the year previous, according to reports
of gross earnings filed in the state
auditors office. AS a result the state
will receive only 1871 900 from the
per cent gross earnings tax for the last
year, nearly 100000 less than was re-
ceived for the. fiscal year of 1903
The gross earnings tax compilation
is not yet complete, the Great West
ern railway having failed up to date
to turn in a report of gross earnings
for the year. A careful computation
made by C. Bomback, the state audi
tors accountant however, making due
allowance for the probable return of
the Great Western, shows that the to-
tai gross earnings of all the roads will
not exceed $64,000,000, as compared
to $6S,061, 499 for the previous year, a
falling off of $4,061 ,499.
Comparatively, the Omaha road was
the heaviest loser, the returns showing
decrease in earnings in this state of
$460, 902.34. Great Northern business
decreased -S4SO392.16 during the year;
Northern Pacific, $147,675.38; Minneap-
oils & ST. Louis, $97,517.29; Rock ISL
and, $2,366.6S, and Burlington, $2,28281
The largest gain was shown by the
Milwaukee road, $1S0,396. The North
Western road showed a gain of $16,-
66717, and the Wisconsin Central one
of $20,46S. The gross earnings of the
Great Western for the fiscal year 1908
were $1,1S5,6S0.35, and will possibly
show a falling off when the returns are
submitted.
The gross earnings Of seven of the
principal railroads doing business in
the state and the amount of taxes each
will be required to pay to the state
with a comparison of the amounts OF
the previous year, follow:

Sell the Certificates

A ready market is found in China for
such bits of valuable paper, and if the
AmericaniZed Chinaman is really wise
and wishes to sell his citizenship, he
carefully picks out from the crowd of
applicants a man bearing a similarity
to his features and build and transfers
to him the right of free entry to the
United States.
To the custom house officials a cur
sorry glance at the face of the China
men and at the photograph reposing IN
his certificate are insufficient to COM
plete Identification. Even If the Off
cial should expend much energy in the
exertion it is extremely doubtful II he
could detect any real difference be-
tween the picture and the person who
had 1t in his possession. Yet II is a
we'll known fact that a certificate enc
titling Chinaman to American citf-
zenship is almost priceless as the trade
between that country and this in
creaSeS.
1t is not alone in the sale of GER
tificates that the Chinaman attempts
to secure a footing in this country The
news Of the death Of a Chinaman here
is carefully recorded and transferred
to his relatives in China. 1t is not,
however, heralded abroad in this coun-
try, and if a few months after the
death Of a certain Chinaman another
should appear claiming his name, there
are but few people who would know the
difference.
