A New sIeeplna Car Story.


Among the railroad visitors in town
yesterday was F. A. Miller, general
passenger agent of the Chicago, MI
waukee & st. Paul Railway. He VII,
tied all of the general offices in tow =
and at the Hollenden Hotel yesterday
told story of one of the sleeping car
porters who was recently found
asleep while on duty. This is con-
trary to the rules of The st. Paul
Road, and the negro man was in
trouble when found by the inspector
on The Pioneer Limited He had his
wits about him, however, and in re-
Spouse to the inspectors inquiry as
to what he was doing asleep, he said:
''I'll tell you how 1t was, boss. l
have only been withS the company a
short time and before coming here
I was working on such and such a
railroad The line was so rough that
I could not get any sleep. Since 1
have been working for the The st.
Paul the road has been so smooth
that I just could not keep awake"
Mr.. Miller says that while the me-
gro had violated the rules, he was
permitted to keep his job on account
of his wit.-CleUeldnd Leader.

MURDERER HAS PRIVATE JAIL.
His Precautions Will Cost Him Double
Term of Imprisonment.

Rome.-A wealthy land owner, Raj
monde Pace, was in 1898 condemned
by the criminal courts of Roggia, in
Italy, to ten years Imprisonment for
having murdered a servant of his
Judgment was passed in default, and
1t was .surmised at the time that the
man had escaped to some distant
land under an assumed name. Quite
recently the police heard that he was
in Foggia, and raided his house. They
were very much amused in finding him
safely locked up in a cell which he had
built for himself in the basement of
his house. One of his servants was
paid by him to act as jailer, and by
order of his master supplied him once
day with bread and jug of water.
During eight years Pace never stirred
from his cell, and he told the police
that after completing the full term of
ten years to which he was condemned
he intended petitioning the king for a
| royal pardon AS it is, the unfor-
tunate man has to start his punish
ment afresh, and in the end will have
served almost twice his time.

Dry Climate of the Southwest Favor.
able to the Industry.

Eel Paso, Tex.-Some of the accounts
of ostrich farming in this country have
been so glowing that the reader was
left much in doubt as to their accur-
acy. The ostrich business is fairly
prosperous, especially in the Salt
River valley. Arizona, where 1900 of
the 1900 ostriches in the country are
now owned This is a new line of
animal industry for Americans and
there is much to learn.
We have not thus far produced
such fancy birds as have some of the
more experienced breeders in South
Africa, but the size seems to be in
creasing and the health of the birds
is all that could be dehired. So far
serious ostrich diseases have not trou-
bled the American raiser; even the
so-called barring of the feathers has
not been observed. Ostriches need a
hot dry climate, such as is found in
the southwest. The rainy portion of
the south is far less desirable, al

Attacked by Indians In Early Days,

Topeka, Kan.-We have heard of
buried treasures, but did you ever
know of case in which one was
found? Well, Joe Prentice, of Heb

time ago found buried treasure.
Prentice formerly operated a hard
ware store in Sabetha. Prentice
traded the store to John M. Evans,
now a resident of Ohio, and got,
among other things, farm near Heb
ron, Neb People laughed at Prem
tice a good deal because of the farm.
That country was not considered
much of a farming country then.
When Prentice got hold of the farm
Evans told him the following story:
A party of immigrants were travelling
over the country in the early days to
seek their fortunes in the far west
One night near the present site OF
Hebron the party was attacked by

GOLD LEFT BY ElAIGRANTS.

Indians. A man named Wilcox or
Wilson was wounded. The Indians
were routed. The wounded man was
taken to Fort Kearny and his brother
was sent for. When the brother ar
rived the wounded man told him as
nearly as possible where he had
buried more than $4,000 during the
night of the Indian attack. The
wounded man died, but the brother
could not unearth the gold. Later
the land where the money was sup.
posed to be buried passed into the
hands of Evans.
Evans tried but could not locate the
gold. Prentice paid no attention to
the story Some time ago while he
was grading down the road near his
house he uncovered on a steep incline
a rusty can such as tomatoes and
apples are put up in. Opening the
can Prentice counted out $2,136.5O in
gold and silver. In addition to this
the farm which people joked Prentice
so much about is now a very valuable

DOGS as Policemen.

A writer in the Century magazine
gives an interesting account Of the use
of dogs as assistants to the police In
Belgian cities and in Paris. In the
latter city they have proved efficient
in rescuing from the Seine many VIC
tins of accident and would-be suicides,
while in other lines of work connect
ed with the police department their
services are valuable. But It is In the
Belgian cities that the employment
of dog police seems to have been
brought to its highest efficiency. In
the city of Client the training and
maintenance of dogs for police duty
has proved to be profitable invest
ment. A dog costs the city Of Client
maintenance, and 80 dog police cost
3,2S5 francs per year. 1t is claimed
that 80 dogs do more than four times
the work that would be accomplished
by ~ men, who would cost the muni-
Icpality 1900 francs" The idea Of
dog policemen semes to be good one,
all right. One distinct and obvious
advantage Of the system, not men
tioned by the Century writer, would
be that thoy could go on the dog
watch" without difficulty or friction
And in this connection the thought
occurs that 1t would be a good idea
for san Francisco to investigate the
dog police question. If that city needs
one thing more than another, 1t is an
efficient police force. The question of
recognizing the force is now under
lactive discussion, and the time for the
experiment is opportune. There can
be no reasonable doubt that the addi-
ton of few good dogs to the San
Francisco police force would add
greatly to its efficiency. Some per-
sons may think that the force would
be dog-gone sight better IL it were
composed entirely of dogs, but we do
not go so far as that.

Sympathy Not Needed.

DR.. Fridtjof hansen, Norway's IA
nous arctic explorer, now minister
to Gerat Britain, makes light of the
sympathy expressed by many persons
anent the "hardships' of travellers. He
says: There never was such mis-
placed sympathy as commiserating a
man who has lived in the wilds. Most
men who travel in out-of-the-way parts
of the world do so because they like
it. People who live in the center Of
what is called civilization do not IN
derstand, cannot realize, the spell that
getting close to nature, battling with
nature, has on the heart" He does
not believe in the use of alcoholic bev-
erages, holding that while liquor will
raise the temperature for a few min
utes, after that it falls lower than
before.

NO MEDICINE.
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment.
airy canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating toe
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any OF
the starchy food we eat-white bread
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes,
tines, and If we eat too much, as most
Of us do, the organs that should di,
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta
ton, indigestion, and a long train
OF ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloaty
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but In building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
