A Garrick Trick.

One of the best of the stories that
have been preserved relating to David
Garrick's remarkable faculty for i'm
personation Is that one about holiday
that he and the French comedian Pre-
Vile had when the English Roscius
was visiting in Paris.
One morning Garrick and his French
colleague were waiting in a diligence
to start for Versailles. The driver re-
fused to bulge until at least four pas
sengers would undertake the trip. Gar
rick jumped out and. changing his gait
and voice, hailed the coachman on the
box and got in again. He repeated the
trick three times. each time with a
different voice and appearance. The
driver, thinking he was now full In
side," joyfully cracked his whip and
galloped away with the two actors for
his only passengers.

HARD PRACTICE FOR
4. AND N. TEAM
Lambert, the Big Tackle, May Not
Get Back In Game Owing to
Abscess on His Eye.

The Farmers are put through two
hours of the hardest kind of work
each afternoon. The work consists
principally of running signals, giving
especial attention to the forward
pass. The Farmers heretofore have
not used the forward pass very much,
but have confined their style OF play
more to line, bucks and short end
brushes. with the perfection of the
forward pass they will add much to
their strength, more especially when
they 60 against strong lines as they
are sure to do when they meet Okla
homa, Mississippi A. and M. and the
Kansas Aggies. Vesmirovsky, Higgin-
botham and helms came in for their
share of hard work in punting. YES
mirovsky undoubtedly holds the kick
ing honors in Texas this season. His
work in the Arkansas game caused
much favorable comment. The high
spirals from his toe kept the Arkan-
sas safety man guessing all the time
and on every exchange of punts the
Farmers would gain from ten to fjT
teen yards. Vesmirovsky is not cAly
strong on punts, but his drop Hcks,
as well as kicks from placement, are
long and true. Higginbothan/i is also
showing great form in purfing. His
punts are ranging from y7orty-five to
fifty yards. He is also Exceptionally
fast and is one of the best men in
the back field to advance the ball.
Shorty" helms, Gas the cadets call
him, was given, This first tryout in the
Arkansas game and his work was in
deed highly satisfactory; however he
only played for few minutes, but in
four downs he advanced the ball fifty
yards.
It,.is much regretted by all that
Les6nbert, the big tackle, will be out
OF the game for some time on account
/of an abscess on his left eye. This
has been giving him trouble for some
time, but he has been able to take
part in most of the games. He re-
manned in Dallas, where he will I'M
dergo an operation. 1t is impossible
to say just how long he will be out
of the game, but it is hoped that he
will be able to play by the time the
Farmers meet the Sooners in Houston
on November II. Beasley is still on
the hospital list, but is improving
steadily and may play in Fridays
game with Austin College. With both
Beasley and Bateman to pass the ball,
the Farmers should make consider
able Roadway with the forward pass.

When II Rained Stones Eleven pay.

When IL hained stones Eleven Days.
There are hundreds Of well authenti-
Gated accounts Of stones falling from
the skies. from the mysterious regions
of the great sea OF space. but such
"falls" have usually been singly or. at
the most, in small showers. Accord.
Ing to legend told by the Arabs of
the Sahara, there was a time in that
portion of the dark continent when
pebbles and fine sand literally rained
from above for several days, covering
the earth to depth of many feet In
fact they claim that the great desert
did not exist prior to the time when
this great shower of aerolites came. In
Jenckyn's "Trip to Ye Burning Sandes
of Africk" the following is told under
the head Another of Gods Wonders:"
Moreover. the natives of these parts
say that 1t once rained small stones
and sandes for period Of eleven days
and nights. Much fertile land and
many towns and thousands of animals
and human beings were thus buried
up."

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, Oct. S0.-A rever-
sion to the cold storage egg has been
compelled because of the inactivity Of
the South Texas hen. Local stocks
are exhausted and receipts supply but

eggs are coming to the relief of the
Houston market, and 27Q2Sc per
dozen is the price to the trade. The
cold storage product brings $3.50.
Another scarcity in the Houston
produce market is lemons and grape
fruit The demand for lemons is I'M
usually good for the time of year and
train load into Houston would be
taken up in day. The demand for
grapefruit keeps the price high, as
the supply is not sufficient.

Mankato.-Petition were filed ask.
ing for recall election on mayor
and four commissioners who comprise
the city council under the commission
form of government. Those sought
to be ousted are Mayor Charles T.
Taylor and Commissioners Bangerter,
Humiston, Lamm Snd Henline. The
petitions were filed by e. v. Waters,
former street commissioner, who was
removed last fall, and contains in all
456 names or nearly 100 more than
the necessary Is per cent of the votes
cast in the last election.
After being removed three months
ago Waters filed charges against the
council for alleged violations of the
charter in the manner of making pub
lie improvements and expending city
money. These allegations were inves-
tigated by committee of the Com
mercial club, and found to be largely
technical, and resulting in no detri-
ment of the city's interest. The recall
election is asked on the same grounds.
There are no charges or intimations
of dishonesty or incompetency, on the
part of any one.
Under the charter, if the petitions
are found to be legal the election
must be held in about sixty days.

FIGHT FOR STATE AID
Court to Decide Seniority of Rival
Agricultural Society in Nor
rison County,

st Paul.-The dispute between two
Morrison county associations, each of
which claims to be the senior agricul-
tural society in the county and there
fore entitled to the state aid granted
by statute, came before Judge Lewis
of the Ramsey county district court
yesterday. The hearing was in the
mandamus case of the state on the
relation of the Morrison County Agri-
cultural society, which holds it's fairs
in Motley, against State Auditor S. G..
Ivesson to compel him to draw a war
rant in favor Of the society in the
sum of S42S, the amount paid in legiti-
mate premiums.
The rival of the plaintiff society is
the Morrison County Agricultural Co
operative Society of Little Falls, which
says it is the successor of the Little
Falls Street Fair association and lays
claim to seniority and title to the
state allowance
The conflicting claims of these two
societies have been reviewed at a hear
ing before the state auditor, who de-
cided in favor of the Little Falls soci-
ETY. as senior land will pay it the state
bounty unless prevented by the court.

MAKES MONEY IN PRISON
Saltwater Convict Ends IL Months

Stillwater.-Edward Matthews was
released from the state prison and
was paid $3.50 as money he had earned
for overtime in fourteen months in
generation. He was an expert oper-
ator of spindles in the binder twine
factory and earned as much as SIS a
month for extra time.
Matthews was arrested on charge
of grand larceny in December, 1910.
He was then working on the farm of
Joseph l.. Tauer, at Cottage Grove, in
the southern part of Washington
county. Matthews was charged with
selling various farm products belong
ing to his employer and offering to
sell span of horses. He pleaded
guilty, and gave as a reason for bad
ly bruised face and head that he had
fallen out of a wagon while suffering
from a brain storm
Matthews called at the court house
after being released from prison to
get two satcheis of clothing; showed
his money and told how he had made
stake in prison. He left for the
state of Washington, where he has a
brother. Formerly he was stone

SEQUESTERED GEMS
Bankrupt kasson JeweIer Who Made
Burglary Charge is Questioned.

Winona. - Victor P. Mastenbrook,
bankrupt jewelry merchant of Kasson,
admitted when pressed by counsel for
the creditors in bankruptcy court in
Winona that he gave a part of his
stock to Mando Erickson, young
man OF Kasson, just before he filed his
petition in bankruptcy.
Erickson came to Winona early this
month with the jewelry and the local
police, suspecting burglary, placed
him under arrest. Mastenbrook came
to Winona, identified and claimed the
jewelry, and declared Erickson had
robbed his store while Mastenbrook
was absent in connection with the
bankruptcy matter. Erickson, who
first alleged the jewelry had been pur-
chased by him from a brick yard
worker at Kasson, revised his story
and declared it had been given to him
by Mastenbrook to hold, pending the
bankruptcy proceedings.
Mastenbrook brought no formal bur
glary charge against Erickson In the
court he said he believed his stock
was exempt and that he could do as
he pleased with it. In his schedule
he set forth his assets were 5000, all
of which he claimed was exempt, and
the creditors demanded to know why
he did not also include the goods
given to Erickson if they, too, were
exempt Mastenbrook's liabilities are

GOVERNOR GREETS
SENDS LETTER OF FELiciTATioN
TO MRS. RosET scHMAHL ON
HER LEAP YEAR BIRTHDAY.
SURVIVOR OF MASSACRE
OF the Sioux Indians in 1S62-Molded
Bullets for Soldiers Day After
Birth of Son at Fort
Rideley.

st. Paul.-Mrs. Roset Schmahl, pio-
neer heroine of the Indian massacre
Of 1862 and mother of julius Schmahl,
secretary of state, was handed tele-
gram from Governor Eberhart, con-
graduating her upon the completion
Of her eighty-third year. Although
Mrs. Schmahl was "a years, she cele-
brated her twenty-frst birthday, as
February 20 comes only once in four
years.
The Governors letter follows:
Recognizing your invaluable serv-
ices to the state in the trying times of
its early history and ranking you as
one Of it's most honored citizens,
want to join in the congratulations
of your host of friends on your birth
day anniversary, bespeaking for you
continued health and prosperity.
In the early days of the Minnesota
settlements Mrs. Schmahl and her
husband settled in st. Paul and went
from here to Traverse des Sioux,
where they engaged in the hotel busi-
ness. Their hotel was the stopping
place of Alexander Ramsey, Henry NJ.
Rice and the other early state Off
cials. 1t was at their hotel that Ram
sey met the Indians and paid them
their allotments.
Later the Schmahl family moved to
Fort Ridgley, where they were at the
time of the Sioux massacre of 1862.
They were living in stone farm
house near the fort and when the
Fifth Minnesota troops came past the
farm they forced the family to go to
the fort. Twelve hours later all of
the persons who had not gone to the
fort were massacred.
1t was in the fort that Mrs. Schmahl
gave birth to Herman G. Schmahl,
now a merchant at Redwood Falls.
The next day she was molding bullets
for the soldiers and helping to care
for the wounded. After the defeat of
the Indians the family returned to
Traverse and later went to Redwood
Falls. A few years ago Mrs. Schmahl
moved to Duluth and is now living
with her daughter, Mrs. Johr ]. Pal
mer. OF the ten children bern to Mrs.
Schmahl only six are living. AleXan-
der c., Herman G.. and Julius A.
Schmahl; Mrs. George Wingett of
Dent, Mimi; Mrs. M. LSebenguth of
Alexandria and Mrs. JOHN ]. Palmer
of Duluth.
