At the Grand.

The bill at the Grand this week is
not up with the highly entertaining
bills that have been given at this play
house in the last two weeks, although
considering the price, the amusement
furnished is satisfactory. George Del
mas, in gymnastic act, is very clever
and his act is one that pleases. The
moving pictures are also very good.
The balance of the bill is fair.

The Ideal.

The Ideal certainly had great start
under the new management. The
house was packed and jammed at
every performance last evening. Polk
and Reid, pair of comedians, scored
IA big hit. Blanche Freeman i'm songs
and dances and little Miss Mamie Hal
prin in the same stunt, We're great fav-
orites. The Nerhaugen orchestra fur
nished the music, and Mrs Nerhaugen
sang soprano solos. The moving pic
lures were up-to-date, and those rep
resenting the Thaw trial were espe-
cially interesting. Manager Saunders
Is decidedly pleased with the atten-
dance and is planning additional inn
provements to those he has already
made.

OF CARS
Congressman Davis of Minnesota Is
FavorabIy Impressed With n. 3.
Bornemann's Idea.

Colgate, N. D., March 1S.-To The
Forum: enclose herewith a letter
from Hon. G. r. Davis, congressman
from the Second Minnesota district
which letter was addressed to my
brother at st. Peter. Now, if all our
northwestern congressman and SEN
ators would make study of the in
terchange of cars, it would result in
much benefit to the shippers and the
merchants.
The president has been advised and
he himself believes that every recipro-
cal demurrage law passed by the
states this winter is in direct conflict
with the second and third sections of
the new law passed by congress pro-
hibiting determinations, and it is be-
lieved that the supreme court will so
hold.
Or, palmer still, if reciprocal demur-
rage is sustained by our courts, then
the sale of liquor in our state is
lawful Consequently, the only equit-
able method we have is interchange
able cars. If this is the case, the sub
.ject needs very close study, and early
action. HI. b. Bornemann.
Congressman Davis letter is as fol-
lows
House of Representatives Washing
ton, ID. c., Feb. 27.-Ed Bornemann,
st. Peter, Minn.--My Dear Ed: / was
very much pleased to receive your re-
cent letter, enclosing clipping giving
an interview with your brother on the
subject of the interchange of cars.
While / have not given the subject
very much thought, owing to lack of
time, yet it seems to me that he has
given it considerable thought and his
conclusions are pretty sound. On the
subject of reciprocal demurrage have
always thought that some law of that
nature was greatly demanded, yet, af-
ter reading your brothers statements,
it seems that the interchange of cars
would accomplish greater results. /
shall keep the article and study it
more fully as soon as / can find time
and trust that it may be beneficial to
me, and possibly to the country, in the
near future, when these subjects are
considered by congress, which ulti-
mately no doubt, will be the case.
With kindest personal regards, re-
main, very sincerely.
@. r. Davis.

Rewarded the Rogue.

Won Moltke was an early riser
and loved early risers. Once while
roaming around his Silesian estate
at daybreak he found a peasant wo-
man bearing on her back sack
of potatoes which she had just dug,
making a load heavy enough for a
mule. "Here's a thaler for you,"
said the great field marshal. "You
see, the early bird catches the
worm" Afterward he found out
that she was a night thief who had
ravaged his fields persistently, but
whom his steward had never got up
early enough to catch.

One Man Who Ordered Dishes That
He Could Not Eat.
When people have more money
than they know what to do with
they sometimes develop a remarka-
BILE ingenuity in devising methods
of squandering it, as in the case of
the French marquise who has her
bed strewn with rare and exquisite
orchids, at a cost of several thou
sand dollars a week.
Even more remarkable is the sto-
~ told of wealthy Frenchman
who dimes twice a week at a famous
Partisan restaurant. His appetite is
the poorest, but he always insists
on having a tureen filled with a spe
cially prepared soup placed before
him. Next comes a huge joint of
meat, from which he cuts one tiny
slice. Then follow four quails or
large chicken, of which he eats one
mouthful. His dessert consists of
four grapes and a sup of coffee,
while during the meal he just
moistens his lips from a bottle of
expensive claret and another of the
finest champagne. At the conclu-
sion of each meal, for which he pays
$25, he hands SIS to the head waiter,
81 to the waiter who had attended
him, So to the woman cashier and
81 to the porter.
A weird form of extravaganza
was that of a woman named Hitler,
who buried her husband in a $780,
600 collin. The coffin was made of
richly carved mahogany, with solid
gold trimmings "a single knob cost
ing 1880 and lined with silk,
which is said to have cost Is cents

embossed leather, heavily and most
deliberately mounted with silver.

The Burlington Clipper sees
trouble ahead, but it was not first
with a gloomy forecast:
"The work of the late lamented
grows with each new revelation of
its "acts." 1t was so liberal in its
appropriations that even State Com
missioner Cushman cannot see any
way out without a deficit. He
figures the revenue for the two
years at $l,125,OOO and the
lowest estimate of the expenses
is over $1,3OOO,OOO. A direct
state tax and political revolu-
ton begin to loom up big and threat
ening in the distance"
The last paragraph is like an echo
of the last campaign. But it's too
soon after election for anything but
words of cheer for this day and adj
ministration.

Freezing Doesn't Kill Trout.

That trout remain alive for con-
siderable time after being frozen in
the ice is declared by some choppers
at Caribou, who say that they have
proved the tact to their own satisfac-
ton. The men were encamped
eight miles south of Caribou on the
shores OF a small pond Astounding in
trout, when they ran out of provis-
ions; It being illegal to take trout at
this time OF the year, they hesitated
before fishing for them through the
ice, but hunger overcame their scru-
pies. The fish bit well, and as they
did not wish to keep an oversupply
on hand where game wardens might
discover them, the men put all they
could not eat into a nearby spring,
alive They would then scoop them
out as they were needed.
One night the temperature dropped
suddei. ". and in the morning the
spring, as well as the trout, was
frozen solid. Provisions had arrived
he night before, and no attention
was paid to the spring until the fol-
lowing day, when one of the men
went there with an axe and chopped
out enough for dinner. The trout,
stiff and hard, were placed in pan
of cold water to thaw out, and a lit
tie later lhe cook was startled to see
then, open their mouth, wriggle their
tails and move about -Kennebec

A. SoURED CONDUCTOR.
Incident That Changed His Theory Of
Street Car Etiquette.

luCluGnI nat OUdUSeo TITS lUSoIJ "
Street Car Etiquette.
1t was 0'Brien's first day on the
job. He had served his probation
term as conductor on the Sixth ave-
nue. line and after a few days OF
anxious waiting had been told to
report for duty the following morn
ing. Ten o'clock found him bound
downtown on the poop deck Of
yellow car with bunch of change
in his pocket and a heart full of
pride and hope.
O'Brien had ideas of his own re-
garding how a conductor should act
in the performance of his duties.
He had read from time to time sto-
ries in the newspapers which re-
fected severely upon the manners
of the man who pulls the bell. He
determined to be an exception to
what seemed to be the general rule.
He would be uniformly kind and
polite to old and young and never
lose his temper. Perhaps, he
unused, by following this course he
might some day get to be superin-
tendent,
The trip from the car barns down
to Forty-second street was compare
lively without incident, save that
the motorman's feelings were out
ragged and his soul irrevocably lost
because O'Brien refused to ring the
starting bell until an alighting pas
senger had both feet safely on the
ground or an incoming one was well
within the car.
Down in the shopping district
9aBEien saw his first chance to put
his real theory into practice. A
woman on the crosswalk signaled
for the car to stop. Beside her was
little girl of perhaps six years. In
the woman's arms was an infant
still in swaddling clothes, with tiny
flaxen curls peeping out from under
cap. The woman started to help
the little girl up the step. O'Brien
sprang forward, seized the child
and swung her easily to the plat
form.
'Now the baby, ma'am," he said.
And before the woman could utter
q word of protest he had snatched
the infant from her arms, held it
closely with his left arm, reached
down his right, assisted the woman
up and pushed her and the girl
gently forward, following close be-
hind after giving the starting bell.
1t was all done so suddenly the wo-
man had no time to speak. Then
she tried to say something, but her
voice failed, and almost bursting
with suppressed laughter she drop
ped into seat.
Then for the first time OBrien
noticed that the baby he carried
was of unusually light weight. He
also noticed that every passenger
in his car wore grins of varying di-
mansions. With a muttered excla-
nation he almost threw into the
woman's lap one of those '1ife
sized" dolls which children like to
take "out shopping" and which their
mothers invariably have to carry
home.
O'Brien few for the back plat
form and partly relieved his feel
ings by savagely kicking at a small
boy who was stealing ride. They
say now O'Brien is the worst tenn
pered conductor on the line.-New
York Press.

THE AGE,

The First Steamboat Whistle.

Early in May, 1914, the steamer
Rochester departed from Buffalo,
bound for Chicago. The engineer
was a mechanical genius named Nc
Gee, and he had constructed a
steam whistle from plans which he
had seen in a scientific paper. On
the way up the lakes he blew it at
every stop, much to the astonish-
ment and terror of the inhabitants.
Just before reaching Mackinac the
Rochester, after a lively race, pass
ed the steamer General Porter, Cap
tain C. L. eager. Engineer MCGEE
celebrated the victory by blowing
his whistle derisively and noisily.
When both boats reached the
wharfs Captain eager rushed up in
a rage, shaking his fist and daring
MCGEE to come down and face him.
''What are you squawking that
thing at me for?" he roared.
And if it had not been for mu-
tual friends steamboat whistling on
the lakes might have been intro
ddced with a lively battle of fsti-
cuffs.
