SECOND WARDERS DRAW
SEEDS FOR GARDENS
Congressman Stevens Sends Republican
Club Prize Packages

A large number of the tried and true

ceived their garden seeds. sent them by
Congressman Stevens.
The seeds of the luscious melon, the
fruitage of which has played no unim-
portant part in the rural justice and po-
lice courts of this country, We're there in
abundance. The seeds of the radish Of
both the elongated and globular shape
were found in that true agricultural con-
dftion recommended by the department of
agriculture. Squash seeds, guaranteed to
keep In the cellar until the next crop
would be forthcoming, were intermixed in

long before the hall. where had reyer-
berated sound Republican doctrine for six

a seed guaranteed to grow either cabbage
or turnip found within.

POISON PROOF MAN EATS
GLASS AND VERDlGRIS
Glasgow Excited Over Capt. Vetrio
Who Swallows Virulent Acids

NEW YORK-At present there is
in Glasgow one Capt. Vetrio who
styles himself the poison proof
man." giving exhibitions in one of the
places of entertainment of his ability
to swallow lethal doses of certain poi
sons.such as strychnine, phosphorus and
so on, with apparent impunity, says
the Medical Press.
With these, We are told, he varies his
menu by eating glass and flower pots.
Before he made his first public ap-
pearance number of medical men re-
sponded to his invitation to meet him
In the Windsor hotel, where he swal-
lowed half grain of strychnine in
their presence, and also partook in
quick succession of considerable doses
of paris green, blue indigo, verdigris
and so on, without evil effects This
demonstration concluded by Capt. Vie
tro's eating a considerable portion of a
stick of phosphorus.
He invites medical men to bring their
own poison.
A letter appeared in the Glasgow
Herald pointing out the responsibility
resting with any medical man, from a
medico legal standpoint, who should,
in the event of this mans death, have
supplied him with the poison.

PUPILS QUIT SCHOOL
FOR FEAR OF FIRE
SIGNALS Are Confused and
Youngsters Hurry to the
Fairgrounds

A confusion of bell signals in the Me-
Kinley school yesterday will be brought
to the attention of the school directors
in order to evolve some system where
by the bell for dismissal and the bell
for fire may not be mixed by the
pupils, as was the case yesterday.
The fire drill, the necessity for which
has been acknowledged by every city
in the country, was in fairly good
working order at the Mckinley school,
and no thought had been entertained
of a mistake which might occur
through a misunderstanding of sig
nails.
The scholars were the first to notice
the peculiarity in the signals and their
behavior on the occasion was a Won
der and horror to the teachers until
the peculiar circumstance was ex-
planned
For moment it appeared that a
strike had occurred, and that the
pupils had gone out without warning
pending settlement of a question of
shorter hours. Such, however, was not
the case.
There are two sets of bells in the
Mckinley school One bell is used for
the purpose of dismissal, while the
other bell tolls the dread message of
fire. Five tolls of one bell is the signal
for the scholars to leave for dinner or
recess, while four strikes of the other
bell is the signal for a fire of such
proportions that double quick and
without wraps is the running order of
the students.
Yesterday the dismissal bell started
tolling. When it reached the fourth
toll the pupils, scenting fire and smoke,
broke for the doors, and before the
reason of ringing the bell had fully
permeated their senses they were all
in the playground playfully watching
for some flames or smoke to break
from the building. The teachers on the
inside were wondering at the striking
but disobedient conduct of the schol-
ars. A short explanation served to
make matters clear and to relieve the
teachers of their wonder and the stu
dents of their fear.
1t is entirely probable that either
new system of signals will be adopt
ed, or that the sound of the different
bells Will be differentiated

North Dakotan Says There'II

North Dakota, who will be disappointed
when they hear about a marriage cere-
mony that was performed at Ellis ISL

couple, the innocent cause of the dis
appointment, protested just as vigor-
ously as they knew how that they did
not want to marry now, because invita-
uons had been issued for the event,
which had been planned for Coopers-
town, but the immigration officials
were obdurate. No marriage. no land

complied
Ihe bridegroom was a sturdy Ger
man farmer, who has lived in this
country twenty-five years, and who
owns 160 acre farm at Cooperstown.
In his younger days, before he came

WOMAN'S PHOTO FOUND
ON CRAB SHELLS
Cigar Dealer Points Out Matron in
Opera Costume on Back of Fish

NEW YORK-Samuel o. Truden, q
cigar store page of All Ninth avenue,
has found on the shell of a crab a
woman in full ball attire including
short opera cloak. Angels hover
around her, holding up the end of the
cloak.
Trudell marvels that no one ever
discovered the woman before. She can
be seen as plainly as the man in the
moon-if you know where to look.
He pointed out the figure of the
woman. In the center is a stout wom-
an, wearing a fez, or it may be
crown. Her eyes, nose, mouth, hair
and ears are distinct. The bodice of
her dress is cut extremely low. The
feet are small and incased in pointed
shoes.
The accompanying figures are not so
distinct
The crab shell should be held with
the scalloped edge down and the figure
traced along the lines of the head with
a pencil downward from the eyes.
The reverse shows the same woman
minus her attendants. In their place
are four pairs of shoes and a French
corset Mr.. Truden, who has been
studying these figures for some years,
has bushel of fine specimens of crab
shells. including some from California
and England.
The California shell differs from the
crabs in neighboring waters in that on
the upper side of the shell the central
figure is unaccompanied, but has two
necklaces, presumably pearls. The
English shell is the most curious in
that, though it shows the same woman,
she appears in ballet costume.
