Stamp Recalls Legend.

From the Kansas CITY Star.
Switzerland has issued a new series
sesses unique interest. The subject of
this is little Henric, he son of Will
liam Tell, he marvelously accurate
cross-bowman Of Burglen. The story
is familiar to all.
Tell was at the fair at Altdorf and
was arrested by the men Of Gessler,
the cruel governor of the canton of
Uri, who suspected the cross-bowman
of ~disloyalty. Little Henric had beer
persuaded to run away to the fair by
his mischievous cousin Philip, and the
latter offered an indiscreetly public
insult to the emblem of authority that
Gessler had erected in the market
place.
Philip escaped, but Henric was
seized, and Gessler promised Tell his
freedom IL he would shoot an apple off
the boys head. Otherwise he would
Ter to kill him as he would not take
the chance of injuring the lad.
But the governor declared that il
Tell did not try to do as he was bid
both father and son would be slain
on the spot. Seeing that Gessler was
selected two arrows. One he thrust
in his girdle and the other he fitted to
his bow
The apple had been placed on the
boys head, and the father turned and
faced him., There was an instant of
suspense. then the sharp twang of
the bowstring, and the apple was
fairly pierced by the arrow. Tell had
saved his boys life and his own.
Gessler, thwarted in his purpose,
turned to Tell and asked why he had
placed the extra arrow in his girdle,
and the crossbowman replied:
For thee. tyrant! My next mari;
would have been thy bosom, had
failed in my first"
The new Swiss stamp shows Henric
armed with his fathers crossbow and
with the arrow-pierced apple in his
hand. The other stamp of the
series Shove Helvetia with the Alps

Exchange: A minister's wife, a doc
tors wife. and a travelling mans wife
met n day recently, and were talking
about the forgetfulness Of their hus-
bands. The minister's wife thought
her husband was the most forgetful
man living, because he would forget
his notes and no one could make out
what he was trying to preach about.
The doctors wife thought her husband
was the more forgetful still, for he
would often start out to see a patient
and would forget his medicine case and
travel nine. miles for nothing. Well"

PARDELL is REARRESTED
and TAKEN TO RAPIDS
Was Released from BeItrami County
Jail, Only to Again Fall
Into Duress.

Marti, alias D. E. Pardell, alias
D. W. Watson, and of several other
names, was released from the local
county Jail yesterday afternoon and
was Immediately re-arrested by the
deputy sheriff Of Itasca county, from
Grand Rapids.
Marti, under the name of Pardell,
had just completed the serving of
90 days for jumping a board-bill in
this city and was wanted at Grand
Rapids on the same charge. Deputy
Sheriff Harry had warrants for his
arrest, both under the name Of Wat
son and of Marti.
Marti is wanted also at Inter.
national Falls and at the Hotel
Lennox in Duluth on the same
charge. It will probably be long
time before Marti gains his freedom
again.
Marti is the man who was around
here about two months ago with a
fake timetable scheme, whereby a
business man could have his adver-
tisement printed on new time table
by paying few dollars.

WOULD CUT STEEL PRICES.
Consumers Demand Corporation Re
duce Its Quotations.

Pittsburg. April 6.-An average reduction
of 10 per cent on the price Of finished
steel products has been demanded by
buyers of that sort of goods and, until
the steel corporation and other concerns
agree to this, it has been tacticly agreed
that no more buying will be done.
The strike Of consumers against the
makers of steel was given birth in Pitts
burg within a very recent period at a
meeting of many of the large concerns
interested, and so serious has the matter
become that President W. Z. Corey. OF
the Steel Corporation, while passing
through Pittsburg to-day, on his way to
the South. called all his Pittsburg lieu
tenants to his private car at the Union
Depot for a long conference. What the
result of the meeting was has not been
made known. but, it is said, there will be
another meeting in New York next week,
when Corey returns from the South,
where he has gone to look over the new
holdings of the corporation there. namely
the Tennessee Coal and Iron properties.
