May l sit in with you, gentlemen?"
inquired Darrell, pleasantly.
AT that moment he looked the un-
sophisticated and ingenious eastern
gentleman, caring nothing for little
money and desirous only of willing
away the time. AS he spoke, he dis

still watch the entrance.
Thereupon the playing began, the

iag eagerly. Darrell allowed the two
harpies tos win enough of his money
to give them confidence. then careless
ly proposed that they play for stake

about them.
Certain of winning, the other two
agreed, and from that moment to the

Darrell plucked diamond stud from

From various parts of the room q
general movement of the idly curious
had set in towards that particular
table, which made it necessary for
Darrell to request, in his politest tones,
that those between the table and the
door should draw aside in order that
he might watch for the entrance of "a
man he was waiting for"
The request was complied with. Be-
hind his chair Darrell could hear the
sharp, tense breathing of the boy.
Sturgis asked how mucn the diamond

One You Can Train,


No matter how you work or try
To make some other person good,
You'll very often find, alas!
You cannot train them as you would
With all your thought, with all your
care,
They slip away from our control;
You cannot guide their careless steps,
Or lead them to your chosen goal.
Yet there's one person-always one
Ger whom you have a wondrous
power,
Who never breaks your least COM
mand,
Or scorns your wishes for an hour.
One soul whom you can always train.
Your willing slave, whose every
force
Is yours to use, and answer for
Who is it? why, yourself, of course!

magnificent watch from his vest pocls-
ct, the gold case studded with gems.

quietly, land this is as far as can go.
What have you?"

kings and an ace.
"Take your money" said he, turning
to the boy.
A growl Of rage came from Stnrgis.
Catching up his opponents discard he
turned the pasteboards over.
"Tricked!" he shouted, springing
erect. "Hc had three aces and dis
carded two: Hawkbill, | demand the

Henderson, red-faced. bnll-necked
and corpulent, staggered closer.

said wheezingly to Darrell, "and if

Leaning forward with quick move

but was not quick enough.

With an imprecation, Sturgis hurled
himself towards Darrell, cleaning

himself in the way and ordered Sturgis
to keep back.
1t was evident that the baMed gam

head and caught the boy by the arm

Picking up the weapon, Darrell
pressed spring and turned the barrel
down, revealing the cylinder. Six
cartridges nestled murderously under
his eyes.
He listened intently. The scratch,

monotonously.

Next, Darrell recovered the pen and

In the event that Mr.. Nathan Dar-

is placed, should be made victim of
foul play, he respectfully suggests the
following for the coroner's considera-

First--The fact that Lester MUIR

Second-The fact that a covert at

Murgatroyd to meeting in the open.
Third-The fact that the bullets in

The Fighting Race.

An American soldier who served in
the Spanish war tells, in the Portland
Oregonian, several stories of the Irish
mans ready wit.
A number of American officers at Ca.
vite were watching the arrival of a
body of Spanish prisoners of war, tat
tered and hungry-looking. One man
suddenly stepped from the ranks of
the Spaniards, and saluting an Ameri-
can officer, said in the strongest
brogue: "Any chance of getting job
in your army? I think it's about all
up with this one"
A captain who had just got a new
company was looking down the muster
roll, on which the names ran
"O'Brien," "Maloney," Murphy" "sul-
livan," "O'Flaherty," and so on.
'1s every man in this company Ir-
ish?" said the captain to the sergeant.
"There's wan Swede, but he doesn't
have much to say" was the response.

Rose Adair.

Rose Adair.
Twas in the leafy springtime,
When the birds on every tree
Were breakin' all their little hearts
In a merry melody;
An the young buds like tassels
An the flowers grew everywhere
Twas in the leafy springtime
met sweet Rose Adair.
O Rose Adair! o Rose Adair!
You are the radiant sun,
The blossomed trees an scented
breeze,
And songbirds all in one.
I met her sowin' mushrooms,
With her white feet in the grass;
Twas eve-but mornin' in the smile
OF my sweet cailin deas;
An kissed her-oh! so secretly
That not a one should know
But the roguish stars they winked
above
And the daisies smiled below.
The Father in confession, Rose,
Won't count that love sin
That with kiss taps at the heart
An let's an angel in;
Twas SO love entered into mine
An made his dwellin' there
If that's sin, the Lord forgive
Your beauty, Rose Adair.
If Springtime ever came at all
To chase the winters frown,
Her smile would coax the flowers up
An charm the sunshine down;
There's not perfumed breeze that
blows
Or bird that charms the air,
But stole the. sweetness from the lips
OF lovely Rose Adair.
The leaves will fall in autumn,
An the flowers all come to grief,
But the green love in my heart Of
hearts
Will never shed a leaf,
For the sunshine of your bonny eyes
Will keep it green an fair,
An your breath will be it's breeze-o'-
spring,
o, lovely Rose Adair!

DARREL'S ENCOUNTER WITH
STERGIS

oIUkilS.
AS time mellows the perspective of
past events, SO it blurs and modifies
the characters of those who made
them. Much of the glory of Anaconda
has departed and Sandy Bar has gone
the way of the ''played out" mining
camp, yet tradition deals generously
with the exploits of Nate Darrel-often
too generously.
The strange features of his feud with
Murgatroyd were sufficiently incred-
ible in cold truth; and when the out
line of the facts faded with lapse
of years, imagination was drawn upon
to sharpen the "reminiscences. The
added material was not always to Dar-
rel's credit.
Yet no one who now remembers Dar-
rel will ever tell you that he tried to be
anything but a gentleman. If the part
was beyond him, it was solely the fault
of his unfortunate vocation.

A Universal Love Song.
Within rose clad cottage
Beside Southern sea,
A mother sat a-singing
And her song came to me
Upon the scented south wind
The sea-gull scared above,
While to her fair-haired baby
She sang this song of love:
II love you when you're laughing,
l love you when you weep;
l love you when you're waking,
And love you when you sleep.
You don't know how love you,
How you l do adore,
And every day, you dove, you,
l love you more and more"
Within windblown wigwam
By Lake Temagami,
A mother sat a-singing
Unto her babe one day.
The wild deer bounded by her,
The wild hawk scared above.
While to her brown-skinned baby
She sang this song of love:
Il love you when you're laughing,
love you when you weep;

And love you when you sleep.
You don't know how l love you,
How you l do adore,
And every day, you dove, you,

Darrell was stunned by the sudden
ness Of the tragedy. In a second he
had whirlcd to look back up the street,
but saw no one. Then he did the
worst thing possible for himself by
fastening to the PROSTATE form and
making an examination.
Sturgis was already dead. The bullet

formed a pool beneath him.

dying man had aroused the people

Darrell was found standing over

dead and the habitues of Hawkbills

quarreled at cards.
Only one inference was possible.
Darrell drew it as quickly as those
around him.

his back was against the wall of the

threatening faces in front.

Cliff, savagely. Jack Sturgis is dead

STATE BOARD Furnishes THE
TRUST FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR
PACKERS ALSO RAISED.

Forty thousand dollars was added to
the assessed valuation Of the Standard
Oil company by the state board OF
equalization yesterday afternoon: The
company had been summoned, but made
no appearance, and the action was
put on franchise assessment, as the
company has not been assessed at all
under that class Of property, but voted
the increase anyway. If the company
contests it, then there will be an oppor.-
tunity to put witnesses on the stand
and learn something about the volume
of Standard Oil operations in Minnesota.
The raise was divided, $25, 900 being
assessed in Hennepin, $4,000 in Ram
sey and So, 900 in ST. Louis county
The American Linseed Oil company,
otherwise known as the "linseed oil

The most spirited class "scrap" in
the history of Hamline university took
place today. For over two, hours fresh
men and sophomores waged fierce war
fare about the campus, and even the
sophomore girls could not keep out of
the fray.
At midnight last night the sophomoress
the sixty-foot smokestaek on the
grounds. How they did it is a mystery,
for the stack is perfectly round and
smooth and the only sixty-foot ladder
in the neighborhood belongs to the fire
department. When the freshmen ap-
peared early today and spied the ban
ner, there was call to arms. For over
two hours the battle ragged in the pres
ence Of over 800 spectators. AS fast as
an unfortunate sophomore was caught he
was securely bound with ropes and left
lying helpless on the campus. There
were fully 1875 freshmen at work and
not more than thirty sophomores; but
in spite Of this, the sophomores put
up gallant fight. A number Of patri-
otto sophomore girls, unable to bear the
sight Of their gallant classmates bound
and gagged, bravely cut the bonds and
the liberated warriors rushed again into
the fray. They were finally overpow-
cred again and all finally borne off to
hidden retreats, there to be subjected
| to tortures.

COWBOY PREACHER
WHOOPED TOO LOUD

Jesse Rice, the cowboy preacher who
has something of a police record in
Minneapolis, preached such a stirring
sermon at Seven Corners last night that
the police locked him up on charge
Of drunkenness.
Jesse excites interest wherever he
goes by his long, silky hair, which he
does up in neat pug on the top, of his
head. He accordingly had no trouble
in attracting crowd. He began preach
ing in low, earnest tone, but as the
liquor began to work he became more
interested in his subject and punctuated

his hat high into the air and catch il

The crowd gathered SO thickly that
streetcar traffic was blocked and the
police were summoned.
Jesse spent the night in cell at the
South Side station and pleaded guilty
in police court today. Judge Waite
imposed a sentence Of $15 or fifteen
days, and Jesse paid the fine.

TWENTY POLICEMEN
Mayor Jones Is Obliged to Reduce His
H. Request.

81
It has become apparent to the board
of tax levy. that some deep cutting
must be done on the various estimates
in order to bring the tax levy within
reasonable limits. At yesterday 8
meeting it was tentatively figured that
the estimates for the permanent i'm
provement fund could be reduced from
$465,O00 to 100000 without causing a
serious hardship. Mayor D. T. Jones
said that it would be almost impossible
to make an appropriation large enough
the police force. An increase was
necessary, however, and for his part he
would be satisfied with twenty new
men, under the circumstances. This
reduces the police estimate by about
100000, which, with $l79,000 to be
taken from the permanent Improvement
fund, will help to keep the levy down
