LAPsEs ON STREET.
Ernest Wallace Is Picked Up in st.
Paul, Suffering Severe Pain-Was
Operated On In Minneapolis and
Junk Taken from His Stomach.

Ernest Wallace, formerly "human
ostrich, with circus, was picked
up at 4:30 am. today by the police at
Seventh and Minnesota street. st. Paul.
He was suffering severe pain in his
stomach and was in state Of collapse.
He was taken to the St. Paul city hos
pital.
Wallace has been out of the Min
neapolis city hospital not more than
ten days. He went there suffering from
stomach trouble, and finally confessed
that it might be due to the nails he
had swallowed in the course Of his
work with circus. The surgeons de-
cided to operate, and Wallace aided
them in preparing for the operation.
Desiring to cleanse the lining of the
stomach. the doctors asked Wallace to
drink distilled water. He drank six
teen glasses of it in rapid succession.
The next day the surgeons operated
and removed from Wallace's stomach
fifty-seven nails, most Of which were
eight-penny nails, and five pieces of
lamp chimney. They found the stom-
ach nearly four times normal size
and Wallace is little man at that.
When Wallace left the hospital the
operations, apparently. had been sue
cessful, and he publicly took pledge
to shun hardware as diet. It is not
yet. known whether he has gone back
on his good resolutions.

upon seeing the calf, became enthusl-

that he had returned the calf to its
mother. .

CARDS CAUSE TROUBLE
FOREIGN SOUVENIR PoSTALs
MUST PAY LETTER POSTAGE
WHEN MAILED TO UNITED
D. STATES OFFICES.

Souvenir postcards from abroad are
still causing trouble for the local post
office officials because travellers in
Europe and Canada fail to understand
that foreign postal regulations do not
apply in the United States.
The card which is causing trouble is
Of foreign style. The back of the card
is given over to the picture, and half
Of the front, used only for the address
in the United States, is made availa BILE
for written messages. Under foreign
laws such a card goes at the regular
postcard rates, but in the United
States it is classed as letter and must
pay letter rates. VI
: Recently large lot of illustrated
cards was sent by Minneapolitan then
in Florence, Italy, to friends in. Mime
apolis. He paid the usual foreign rate
Of cents and wrote on the address
side of the cards. The friends to whom
they were addressed had to pay cents
each as postage due. .-@
u When the traveller returned he was
highly indignant and descended upon
the postofice accompanied by his at
torney. It was with difficulty that he
was persuaded that he had not been
made the victim Of a swindle. F..

important case has been argued an
other will be argued tomorrow, and
there are four more in which appeals

has been no limit to the amount of
money, that could be spent for defense.
The showing is considered one Of the
best ever made by the office.

conviction of embezzlement from the
