When Thirsty, Drink.

I incline to the view that when a
man is thirsty he should drink, and
that IL he likes his liquid very cold
he may have it so. If 1t is right and
beneficial to relieve the thirst of NOR
bid fever. cannot believe that it is
wrong so to relieve the thirst attend
ant upon the body's effort to keep its
Temperature down when the sun is in
his strength. Children are constantly
told that it is dangerous to take cold
water when they are hot, but have
not yet met with any statistical proof
of that assertion.-A Physician.

one Of Times CHANCES.

James H., O'Brien, wealthy Call
fornia miner, was standing on the
steps Of San Francisco hotel, when
a seedy citizen came and hailed him:
"Hullo, Jim. How are ye?" Mr.
O'Brien at first did not know the man.
and, thinking the stranger was a pro-
fessional beggar, he said: who the
dickens are you?" "You don't krow
me. eh." said the dilapidated party.
"say, Jim; I was quarts O wine when
you were r:nts O. beer" The rich
man by this time had recognized a
friend of former days, and a satisfac-
tory interview followed.

lookup proper was always damp even
on the hottest day, plunged in per-
petual gloom and being without ven
tilation, as dangerous to human health
as was ever the Infamous Black Hole Of
Calcutta. No building could have
been worse adapted for a police station
no matter where or how it was built.
But the time for abusing the old
lookup is past, and there are many
events and incidents connected with the
lookup and the old dirty alley" lock-
up' alley-which it made famous,
which will be recalled and retold in the
new lookup when the new city hall
itself begins to take on a respectable
age.
The ''Monkey Wrench Case.''
Old-timers instinctively think of the
monkey wrench case," which as a
matter of fact was not connected with
the present structure at all, but with it's
predecessor, which stood on the same
spot and was only less offensive and
disreputable simply because it :. was
smaller. The two buildings historically
and, to some extent, structurally, were
the same, so the famous monkey
wrench incident may properly be as
ISOLATED with the later building.
The chief figure in this case was a
slippery crook whose alias in Mime
apolis was Franklin, and who, accord
| ing to reports, was twice as clever as
fisherman, who recently went Cover

In few days the old Central police
station, known Familiarity for gene
ration or more as "the lockup,' will
be abandoned for all time, and so sad
and repulsive is it's history that there
will be none in all the land to mourn
it's passing.
Old police officers in New York still
speak fondly Of the old Tombs prison
with affection, and when it had
to be abandoned for larger structure
there was a general protest against the
destruction Of the quaint Egyptian
building which had been a landmark
in the metropolis for half century.
But none will protest if the lookup
is RACED to it's foundation stones and
obliterated from memory and history,
and there will be no fond regrets when
Captain Sinclair, Matron Schaeffer,
Jailors Needham and Wilson, Driver
Moore, Conductors Kennedy and Nc
Laughlin, and the other veterans turn
their backs on the dingy, disreputable
station for the last time.
Damned by every police officer as
signed to duty there; condemned by a
long line Of grand juries, health officers,
penologists and other authorities;
feared by hardened convicts who gaily
accepted state prison sentences as a
substitute, the lookup, like Libby
prison and the Bastile, will achieve it's
greatest consideration when it ceases to
exist.

by the way, is still here in the banking
business.
Franklin s. misdeeds landed him in
the Lookup, but one morning he was
missing. The search revealed that he
opened bars and bolts with monkey
wrench, getting the freedom Of the jail
and thence, either by way of the roof
or thru the municipal court which in
those days was connected with the lock-
up by runway, making his escape.
His cell, by the way, was of wood
bolted together, hence the wrench. =
Two police detectives, one of whom
is still in the city, were publicly ae-
cused Of having supplied Franklin with
the wrench, and the incident probably
caused more talk and comment than any
other event in the police history of the

Franklin, as far as can be recalled,
was the only man who got away from

no grown man has escaped from the
cells. What man could not do, boys

most incomplete without mention Of the
superstition connected with cell No.
10. It was believed for a long time
that to put prisoner in cell Is was to
virtually place him on the scaffold.
Jailer Needham insists, however, that
the bad name attributed to this cell
is due almost entirely to the magma
tive stories of police reporters.
Still, it is true that more prisoners
came to their death in that cell than
in all the others combined. The ex-
PLANTATION is that the cell with the bane-
full number was just opposite the en-
trance to the .cellroom, and it was nat
ural that a prisoner who needed care
full watching was placed where he
could be the most easily seen or heard.
Many attempts at suicide were made
by men who, upon recovering from a
harmless spree, found themselves be-
hind the bars for the first time in their
lives, and some of the attempts were
successful. But not all deaths in this
den were due to suicide. either. A man
was found dead there one morning af-
ter being dropped on floor in what
had dent in his skull and there was
a great cry of foul play, but nothing
ever came of it.
A one-time alderman hung himself at
the station one night in 1897, but it was
in cell IA. Mr.. Needham has cut down
people who were attempting suicide.
One was a woman, who made a moose
with her hosiery.

lice converted it into an armory. Su-
perintendent R. R. Henderson had a
habit Of assembling the police force in
that big bare armory-gymnasium to
give them long talks on police etiquette,
gentle manners and proper dress.
Any veteran on the police force or an
old-time police reporter could probably
tell stories about the old lookup and
the equally ignoble and notorious Clock
up alley for days, but both are soon to
be forgotten and maybe it is we'll that
the curtain be drawn lest other matters
of more significance than those recorded
be revealed.

perstition will pass when the lookup is
forgotten.
The MILITARY Regime
It is strange that any one could ever
have had any pride in such gloomy,
the present lookup which never had any
grace, attraction. or decency, but at one
time the police force expected much en-
joyment from it. The third floor was
to be equipped as a gymnasium and drill
hall, and Mayor Ames announced with
the usual fanfare that all members Of
the police force would be trained to be-
come skillful athletes and model SOL
diers. The 'sgenial doctor, as he was
then called, created an imposing array
of colonies such as Chase and Hill, and
majors like Landberg and Priester, and
instituted military regime, which
would have paralyzed a tactical officer
from West Point. The theory did not
work out in practice for the plain pa.
on their beats, and did not care to drill
when they earned a rest.
Captain Harvey was a sure enough
martinez, but when he turned up missing
one morning and the combination Of the
safe was fixed so that it took an ex-
tary rule relaxed. What was expected
to be in the safe was not there and
never was found.
About this time conditions were de-
plorable in Minneapolis, and the police
force was lamentably disorganized. For
several months there was a saloon in the
same alley as the police station, and if
any one ever paid for license to sell
liquor there the fact was never publicly
recorded. The place had bad name
in the city generally as and was reputed
to be the resort Of crooks and toughs, al
tho in the very shadow Of police head
quarters.
