Good as He Gave.

A few evenings ago train made up
OF two ordinary passenger coaches
and baggage car pulled into the
Union station from the yard, prepared
to go out over one of the branch
roads, says the Providence Journal.
The hands of the station clock point
ed to a few minutes of the schedule
time of departure and the shivering
passengers who had been standing on
the station platform laden with bun
dies quickly filled the coaches.
Men and women alike sought seats
in both of the coaches. when brake
man entered the car and after answer
ing score of questions in the affirma-
tive that the head coach was the
smoking car a fat woman loaded down
with bundles approached him and
asked:
Say. mister, is this the smoking
carr"
"Of course it is the smoking car"
said the brakeman. Does 1t look like
a parlor carr"
The fat woman pulled her cloak
closer about her shoulders before she
replied:
TT looks like a cattle car and It
feels like an ice box" she said. "Evi-
IDENTIFY you folks think the people who
ride on this line are paying for cold
storage and impudence."

TOOK the FIRMS TRADEMARKS
Ingenious HoIIanders Put Minnesota
Firm In a Hole.

A Minnesota Touring mill company
has recently had an experience in Hol-
land which viii not only make Il more
careful In the future but will serve as a
warning to other concerns to pay
strict attention to the protection Of its
own brands of -four under the pecu-
liar registration laws of Holland.
For a number Of years the company
alluded to sold one concern in Am
sterdam under one of its mill brands. a
name made famous both In this coun-
try and abroad by years of quality and
advertising, and to another concern in
Rotterdam, under another mill brand.
also well advertised and generally
known.
Not long ago II occurred to the mill
that 1t would be good idea to regis
ter its brands in foreign countries.
and 1t proceeded to do so. It then
discovered that it's Dutch correspond
ents had both registered its brand In
their own names. 1t requested them
to transfer the registration to the mill
name. This was positively refused.
Thus the mill is actually deprived Of
the use of its own brands unless it
sells to the two concerns and no one
else.
Under the laws of Holland these
former representatives could prevent
the mill shipping flour to other parties
under its own established brand.
Other Minnesota mills have had the
same unpleasant experience.

A well known contractor of a town
not far from Boston has a son, still
under 20, who has been running away
from home ever since he attained his
twelfth year. The father has many
times been called upon to fetch the
young lad back from remote points,
and none of the hard luck proposition
the boy has faced has taught lin a
permanent lesson, probably for the
reason that he has always found 1t too
easy matter to get home by simply
telegraphing his father for the price
of ticket.
He went away again two months
ago, and his father didn't hear from
him until recently, when the contract
or got dispatch dated Hastings, Neb.
The message ran:
Am on the hog. Wire me $40 for
a ticket home. joe"
The desperate father went to the
telegraph Office, got a blank, and
wrote this concise reply:
Eat the hog"

years from now, l shall be greatly dis
appointed. If it is complete within less
Tune L shall not be greatly surprised. -
This statement made tonight by Sec
rotary of War Taft before the Business
Mems Club of this city, brought forth
uproarlous cheers, the six hundred MEM
bers of the club who were gathered in
side the banquet hall, rising to their feet
and cheering the statement of the
speaker with tremendous enthusiasm.
The banquet rendered to the secretary
by the Business Mems Club came as a
climax to the last of the three DAYS of
MS present western trip, and was a fit
ting elimination to the fiatterinp recon-
ton that had been extended him on ev-
cry side by his Ohio friends. The hall
was packed to the utmost limit. more
than four hundred applications for tick
cts Tor admission to the banquet being
perforce declined, because there was no
room inside the hall to place the late APP
plicants.
The last official day of the secretary's
western trip was like the two DAYS
which preceded it-full of work for
him and crowded with receptions that
were flattering to him both as an Of
fetal and as a man.
Secretery Taft leaves for Washington
at noon tomorrow.

Subtle attacks are the most wound

Postage Stamps.

1t is often desired to separate post
age stamps that are stuck together
without destroying the gum.
This can be done by dipping the
stamps in water for a few seconds

and heating with match as much
as possible without burning.
The heat expands the water between
the stamps and separates them. so
that they can be easily pulled apart.

In revoking the saloon license OF X.
Vogel, who for some time had been en-
gagged In the retail liquor business In

yogel, after the city council had passed
an ordinance prohibiting saloon men
from giving free lunches, placed in his

Vogel has decided to test in the courts

ing his license The matter has been
carried before Judge J. w. Jones. OF
the state circuit court in this city. and
will come up for hearing before Judge
Jones at 10 o'clock next Monday fore

The matter is attracting a great deal
of local attention, and the outcome will
have important bearing upon future ef-
forts OF municipal authorities in South
Dakota to do away with the free lunch
feature of the retail liquor business.
Vogel's attorney will endeavor TO
have the anti-free lunch ordinance de-
clared null and void, n also Will
strive TO show that the city council
had I'D authority Ia revoke Vogel's IL
cense without notice to him n with
out giving him an opportunity TO be
heard, as vas alleged to have been the
case.

a boat on the river looking up a good
fishing ground. when they noticed a
great commotion in a little bayou,
where the water was quite shallow.
on investigation they discovered that
the little cove was full OF CARS n
catfish. They placed their boat across
the mouth OF the bayou and then the
slaughter commenced. While one OF
the men remained In the o the 9TH
er drove the fish and in a remarkably
short time they had landed 147 catfish.
THE only weapon we had" said Beebe
in telling his story, was an old ham,
mer. and his was used to good effect
as the fish became lodged around the
boat"
