THE POLICE COURT.
Fined $1O and Costs for Stealing
 Cigarettes.

The cigarette pictures in Nathan Richmond's store window on North Elm street attracted the curious gaze of Tony Mareno. 10, and Thomas Vastrone, 12, Sunday morning There was a crack in one of the panes and their eyes were buried on the pictures when along came a boy bigger than they and pushed their heads through the cracked glass. Snatching up few packages of cig- arettes, the new conner ran away. When Richmond counted up his stack before he informed the police, he was minus S4 packets of cigar cites. Mareno and Vastrone were before Judge Peasley in the city court this morning charged with theft of 10 packets, worth $1, and they were fined $5 and costs each and put on probation six months.
 Daniel Hayes put up at the station house once too often last night and he was fined $5 and costs for in- toXication.
 Joseph Rudas was crazy drunk last night and drew a large crowd in Wagner alley. He made all pos- sible trouble for Officer Callahan and almost kicked the sides out of the police patrol wagon. He was charged with intoxication, breach of the peace and resistance and was fined $5 and costs on each count. His friends paid for him.

GAME BIRDS SCARCE.
Fish and Game Commissioners Read
 Reports from Other States.

The fish and game commissioners held their weekly meeting at the Capitol Tuesday, when they gave out for publication extracts from the re ports of other states to uphold their contention that they have great diff ficulty in obtaining birds for stock ing. The fish and game commission CTS of New Jersey in their report for 1906 say: The stringent laws pre- venting the removal of same from other states even for propagating purposes makes it doubtful whether we will be able to secure more birds in the future. We believe it to be q question of only a short time when it will be impossible 10 purchase quail from sister state at any price
 The game commissioners of Penn sylvania for the same year say that states that were exporting quail only a few years ago are now trying to secure birds for propagating pur- poses. The commissioners say. how ever, that they secured 3,700 birds from Alabama
 The Audubon society of North Carolina in 1907 writes that it alone has the power to grant rermits for shipping wild birds and animals out of the state for purposes Of propa- sation and that the only shipments of birds during the previous year from that state consisted of twelve birds to park in Toronto.

Do You Ever
 Dream :?

In other words, did you ever. while sleeping, live in dream-land? We'll, if you never did, you're lucky, because it's mighty queer after dreaming of Indians going to kill you, to wake up and find it's only dream. But sometimes dreaming is a delightful sensation, that is, while you're in it." But when you wake up you generally think to yourself that was devil of a take in" For instance, if you dreamt all the shops were working overtime the past six months you d be surprised when you woke up. If you dreamt Congressman lilley was governor of Connecticut, or presi- dent of our country, or that he even won his case in Washington, D. C., regarding those internal boats, you'd have another think when you'd wake up. If you dreamt the trolley cars ever got a scrubbing or that the company hired one or two people to clean the car windows every night same as in all large cities, you'd likely have brain storm when you woke up. Say, did you ever take notice of those car windows? If you never did--don't. But remember when we say OUR Tea, Coffee, Cocoa, Spice, Butter and Buttermilk is the best in the city for the price, it's not dream, but our true pronunciamento, at

St. Paul, May 2.-Engaged 20 years ago, reunited and re-engaged last August by an accidental meeting. married after the suicide of the husbands first wife, and the second wife now deserted-this Is the strange story of the marital tangles of Eva and E. c. Gilbert the latter travel ing man formerly of New York.
 Twenty years ago Gilbert met Miss Eva Pantow at La Cross, and became en- gagged to her. They were about to be married when Gilbert looked too long on the flowing bowl and finally made zig gag approach to his flances house, which put finish to his marital plans. She broke the engagement and they drifted apart.
 Both were afterwards married. Gilbert 8 wife secured a divorce and several years later he married again, this time choosing a former friend. They did not agree and last June in Minneapolis the second wife committed suicide. In August Gilbert ac- cidentally met his old sweetheart, who was en route to Eau Claire to celebrate her mothers birthday anniversary They renewd their 20-year old attachment and were married. During the short months of their engagement Gilbert borrowed S1o0

The Trials of a Press Auent.

James L. Ford, in Success Magazine In order to supply all this matter, there
 devolves upon the press agent one of the
 most difficult duties in the whole theatri-
 cal professionalism of inducing the star players to sit for their photographs. For. delighted actresses are to have their
 pictures printed, there Is nothing they
 hate more than devoting half of bright sunny afternoon to sitting for them in
 costume in photograph gallery. Nor Is this to be wondered at when we consider
 the trouble that it involves and the agree
 able and profitable manner in which the time might be spent in walking up and down Broadway or driving on the Ave- nue. Sometimes it is necessary to bring the photographer to the theatre after re- hearsal and hold the actresses almost by main force until their pictures are taken. The press agent must also be ever on the alert to pick up and elaborate items of news connected wi.n his attractions, and, failing these to invent items that look like news, and to prepare them Tn an attractive form for the Sunday paper. He must also make suggestions to re- porters, put them in the way of secur- ing interviews anu other readable mat ter, entertain visiting journalists from all parts of the country-and not one of these while in New York fails to call on every press agent whose matter it has been his good fortune to run" during the year write advertisements, keep the quarrels between manager and star and all other tldings suggestive of disaster out of the
 papers, and to cast a rosy glow over everything that bears the managerial stamp of his employer. In addition to
 this, he frequently edits and writes
 press sheet containing several thousand
 words of cheery, readable matter re-
 lating to his shows.

each tagged with the proper name, the pictures of no fewer than 100000 men.
 Criminals are forever changing their names and hiding their pasts. It Is worth while to do so in New York, where the oft convicted criminal gets finally a life sentence. Other detectives capture, but cannot recall them. That is the place where MT. Sheridan dovetails in.
 Here is a passing example: Two meek individuals declare, with every earmarlk of innocence. that this Is their first of fense, and give the innocuous names of George Simpson and Joseph Edwards.
 They are taken to Sheridan. The cam- era eyes survey the pair for moment.
 That" said Sheridan. laying his hand on the smaller man, "is William Nelson. He did a stretch of three years for a rob bery. This one"-turning to the other 'is Herman--Henry Herman, who with Meredith, shot and attempted to rob Phil Daly at Fourth avenue and Twenty eighth street back in 1885. He's lost half his hair and 20 pounds since then.'
 And away goes MT Sheridan and pres ently produces the photographs of both malefactors properly tagged and labeled. Herman he hadn't met for r years. Her man regrets that meeting still.

small sum on almost any farm. In
fact much of the material for same
will be found on all farms lying
around idle and rotting. The cuts
with this short specification will ex.
plain how the writer has constructed
several such ice houses. The house
as shown is 16x20 on the ground and
ten feet to the caves. The roof is
very fiat and has only a four.foot
raise or third pitch.
If it is possible to locate the house
on sandy or gravel land it will not be
necessary to provide drainage sys-

stone to within IL inches of the top.
Upon the broken stone, build your
foundation of brick, stone or cement.
Many prefer the foundation to be of
heavy wood timbers, as it is then much
easier to keep out air and wind which
would be fatal to your ice. A house of
this size will hold between 60 and 70
tons OF ice and it is supposed that
the ordinary family will use from four
to six tons each month.

The door at the rear is used only
for filling the house with ice and as
shown one stud is left out and the
boards both inside and out allowed to-

boards are then filled in as the house Is

The inner door is single and the outer

So she has caused to he revivea

asserted, had been introduced by the

minded that the Queen whose memory
they adore was only prevented BY
her d~ath from putting down the cruel
sport it is hoped that they may allow
their present Queen to make it at
least questionable for ladies to at
