BOLD BANDITS BOLT
FEARING MATCH SAFE
Burly Negro Highwaymen Flee When
Isaac Rosenstein Threatens Them
with Bright Box. +

"Get to the woods or I'll fill you
full Of lead pills. said Isaac Rosen-
stein, brandishing a vicious looking
matchsafe at two brawny negroes who
tried to hold him up at Eleventh ave-
nue. s and Third street last night.
The negroes didn't feel the need Of
the lead treatment and took the hint
clumsily but quickly. They had
stopped Mr.. Rosenstein, who was on
his way home, 1913 Fifth street s., and
asked him for the time. He replied
that it was time they were home fixing
up an albi and one Of them reached
for Rosenstein g throat. The latter
stepped back nimbly and began to dig
for his matchsafe, which shone like a
tenderfoot's revolver.
He says it must have looked like a
cannon to the highwaymen for they
scrambled over a board fence, tearing
off the two top boards and disappeared
into an alley. Rosenstein chuckled
to himself and walked to the nearest
telephone to summon the police. Had
the robbers called his bluff they would
have obtained the matchsafe for their
trouble for he hadn't a cent or any
article Of value on his person.
Detectives Martinson and Lyons
were detailed on the case and spent
the evening questioning the negroes
who live in the neighborhood, but
early this morning they had found no
suspects.

SURGEON PREPARES A
RECRUIT FOR THE NAVY
Natures Bungling Work Is Remedied
and Uncle Sans Fleet Gets One
More Husky Sailor.

= Sidney Middleton left the clinical
operating table at St. Mary's hospital
yesterday afternoon, fit, as soon as the
wounds made by the surgeons knife
are healed, to. be received into the
United States navy.
When nature designed young Mid
dleton she did a good general job, but
there were a few details which were
obviously overlooked. Two fingers,
the little and ring finger of the right
hand, were united in one sheath of
skin. This never bothered the young
man while he was working on his
fathers farm near Garfield, Mich, but
proved to be a serious obstacle when
he applied for enlistment in the navy.
Examining Surgeon Robert Bachman
suggested an operation, but Middle
tons lack Of funds proved a serious
obstacle. The government does not
supply money for the medical treat
ment of prospective recruits and a
clinic offered the only solution of the
difficulty. DR.. Bachman himself on

it was successful.

"April fool" candy is Of three types.
Dipped caramels containing white pine

pepper or salt. These candies sell at
about go cents a pound and are usually

BOY FACING DEATH IS
SAVED BY PAT HURLEY
ANOTHER NOTCH IN STICK OF
THE YARDMAsTER.
Lads Foot Caught in Rail and Could
Not Be Extricated by Frenzied
Mother-Hurley Stopped Oncoming
Engine just in Time-Mother Paints
After Ordeal.

Pat Hurley, ~yardmaster at the Union
station, has another notch in his stick.
Each notch means a life saved. Yester-
day morning he snatched a little boy
from the very grasp Of death and re-
stored him safely to his agonized
mother, who. had tried in vain to
rescue her child.
This incident, which threatened to
become a tragedy, thrilled the waiting
crowd of gatemen and waiting passen-
gers. The little boy and his mother
were crossing the dangerous tracks in
the Union station yards to reach a
standing train when the boy stepped
lengthwise of a rail and caught his
foot between the f1ange and the plank
flooring. The more he struggled to free
himself the more inextricable became
his foot. A sharp cry of terror called
the attention of his mother, who threw
down her bundles and attempted to re-
lease her son.
Cold chills struck to her heart as
she heard the clank of an engines
d~rivewheels coming down on the same
track. She pulled the boys foot at
every angle and in her fright nearly
wrenched the limb from it's socket.
Just at this point Pat Hurley's quick
eye took in the situation and he rushed
forward signaling the engineer to, pull
up short.
With every pound Of air on, the
emergency brakes set, the lever re,
versed and the throttle opened again,
the engineer pulled up his heavy train
short-the cowcatcher only four inches
from the boys body.
The revulsion Of feeling was too
much for the mother, who fell in a
faint against the ponderous locomo.
tive.
Pat Hurley mopped his brow and
went off to his yard duties: The en-.
gineer closed his eyes a moment to
shut it all out.

Frat Boys Offer Reward to Chauffeur

Five dollars will be paid by the mem
bers of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at
the university to the driver of the
automobile which ran over and killed
"Bull,' the canine mascot Of the local
Greek chapter. This announcement
issued at the university yesterday
afternoon has aroused the interests Of
undergraduates and student sleuths are
looking for a large, red touring car be-
spattered with bulldog blood.
The unique situation resulting in the
offer of a reward, to the reckless chauf-
feur who is responsible for Bulls death
is the climax of IN interesting chapter
in fraternity canine history. Other fra
ternities at the university treasure
their dog mascots as they do their fra
ternity traditions, but Notwithstanding
this fact the members of Kappa Sigma
have cast traditions to the winds and
take the news Of Bulls death as an
omen of good luck.

Roland Vangsness, the crippled flower
seller, who had his stand on Nicollet
ven in front Of the Syndicate block
for many summers, showed in his life a
heroism equal to that of the paladin
whose name he bore. Instead of the
martial life Of his great namesake, with
its thrilling encounters with armored
champions in the lists and Saracen
hordes in the field, the little fower-sell-
er fought against the overwhelming
odds Of adverse circumstances.
An apparently helpless cripple from
birth, young Vangsness spent every day
of his life in constant battle with the
weakness which cut him off from the
ordinary life of boys. When he reached
the age of IA he resolved to make, his
own way in. the world, and started out
in the business, first as a newsboy and
later as q fower-seller. Tho his pathet-
ically crippled figure and drawn face
excited the sympathy of those who saw
him, he refused to make them a bust
ness asset, and would not touch a cent
of money in any way savoring Of char

was able to earn enough to pay his

PUPILS CLAMOR FOR
WORK ONCE DER|DED
SPECIAL COURSES AMONG MOST
POPULAR IN SCHOOLS. -
Manual Training and Domestic Science
Sought by Thousands of Students
Facilities Are Inadequate and 1000
Applicants Are Disappointed-Im-
r-cvements to Be Recommended

More than 1000 school children who
to take manual training and
science courses in the city
schools this semester were refused this
coveted privilege on account of lack of
teachers and accommodations. Manual
training, cooking and sewing have been
criticized as school fads and very fanci-
full ones, at that. Even the children
laughed in derision when the innova-
ton in school work was first made, but
o they are the most interesting fea-
lures of the school curriculum to the
great majority.
There has been a most wonderful in
terest among the pupils for these
branches and the school authorities are
unable to cope with the problem on ac-
count of lack of funds. Daily instruc-
ton is given in these branches in the
four high schools and 700 pupils are
enrolled in the various courses. For
this work fifteen teachers are required,
including six drawing teachers. In the
high schools the work is conducted in
a most satisfactory manner.
Grade Pupils Sighted.
It is the seventh and eighth grade
pupils who suffer from the lack of adj
vantages. Manual training and domes-
tic science classes are conducted at pres
ent in the Sheridan, Blaine, Douglas,
Madison and Monroe schools, about 250
pupils being enrolled at each.
There are five manual training teach
ers and five cooking teachers, each Of
whom takes two classes a day, or ten
during the week. The pupils of the
seventh and eighth grades get only one
lesson each week. Nevertheless, 700
boys and $50 girls who applied for
permission to take the work at the be-
ginning Of the present semester had to
be denied.
j. E. Painter, supervisor of manual
training, will recommend that the num-
Der Of schools for manual training and
domestic science be increased consider
ably. There should be upward of fifteen
instead of five. The ideal method would
be to have a workshop and kitchen in
each one of the school buildings hav-
ing seventh and eighth grades, and
and arrange to have the teachers make
a tour of the schools instead of COM
polling the pupils to go long distances
to attend these classes.
The school directors will consider the
matter at an early date, and are ex-
pected to make some arrangements fol
increasing Mr.. Painters staff and pro-
viding additional shops and kitchens.

MEASLES Is EPIDEMIC
Sixty Odd Gases Have Been Reported
to Health Office.

Minneapolis is having a general cpl
demic of measles. About sixty cases
have been reported to the health de-
partment and as only about one-tenth
of the cases are ever reported, tho re-
quired by law, it is evident that there
is a widespread epidemic.
In most cases no physician is called,
for patients afflicted with measles and
many physicians do not think it nee
essary to report the disease as no
quarantine is established
A notable feature of the present cpl
demic is that an unusually large per-
centage are adults from 20 to 80 years
of age.
