kHINNEAPOLIS.-Ea ting his way
AvA through trolley ropes and wires
into the affections of hundreds of
Minneapolis street railway employees,
Near Stop Billy" goat mascot of the
street railway system, has lost his
prestige by an overt and underhanded
act which came near costing a score
of conductors their positions with the
street railway company. The con
ductors were Near Stop Billy's"
friends.
For two months conductors who
have hung their coats in the lounging
room al the shop have been missing
transfers. Whole books of transfers
have disappeared from pockets. The
men have been rebuked by the com
pany heads. They have been unable

Late the other day Conductor WeIch

Fair Bathers and Big Rats Use Beach

Many bathers, while walking along
the beach, have suddenly stepped into
holes which the rats have dug, and
have been filled with dismay when.
with angry squeal, large gray and
brown rats have turned and snapped
at them
John ]. Morgan, manager OF q com
pany which Is engaged In the work OF
DISCRIMINATING vermin, stated that It
was not an unusual thing for rats to
take up their abode along the lake
shores In summer. The hundreds of
dead fish which are cast up by the
waves, he said. attract the rats In
large numbers. 'The rats burrow In
the sand, at the foot of the banks, tn
large numbers" said Mr.. Morgan
Then, too. the hot weather may have
something to do with the condition.
The rats win swim out In the water in
hot weather and Will also make their
homes In the wet sands along the edge
of the water"
The rats In many cases are extreme
ly large and savage, and threaten to
attack PERSONS who disturb them.

Expert Says Pies Always in Demand

/ those tall amber-colored glasses of
one-cent orangeade. to mention oRly
a few Of the Busy Bees noontime deli
cacies. Sol Robinski said that the
right and the only man to see about
this here pie question Was Phil Breiten-
kopf, than whom there was no higher
pie authority In the whole city.
-Phirs the boy that can talk to you
about pie" explained Sol. That fell
low is a regular whatyer call genius
when 1t comes to knowing what kind
of pie 1t is before he cuts II. How
does he know itf How can l tell
your If knew, wouldn't | do 1t my
self"
Sol has a wide, gllround e, perienco
Ia Ann street and they say he is the
highest salaried man in the Busy
Bees employ, but in the matter of
pie he is not the equal of his old
tutor, Phil Breitenkopf
Tn hot weather, 1t is all pie, pie,
pie, For three cents they get half a
pie, and for two cents they get a
glass of milk. Perhaps II they have
more than ilve cents for lunch. yum
derstand, they blow it In Gu root beer
or ice cream co-en. but first they must
have pie and milk"
While he talked, Sol kept both
hands working dishing out pies. There
were all kinds. AS Sol said. there was
fresh APPEL and huckleberry and Gus
tard and lemon meringk. All very
fine. The boys would point to this
kind or that, and Sol would bisect It
with his long knife, balance the half
on the fiat of the blade and pass a
toothsome morsel out over the heads
Of the crowd, never once dropping the
pie or missing the right customer.

Good in Spinach.

Very young spinach is the best and
the fresh, juicy stalks and all can be
cooked and minced together.
Poached eggs on spinach form a
familiar dish, but the Italians vary II
agreeably. First cook the spinach I.
then strain and mince 1t. and then
stew 1t gently with butter; then beat
ap six new-laid eggs with 1t and
stir these, and one ounce OF Parmesan
cheese into the spinach with wood
en- spoon. Toss about rapidly until
the mixture thickens, but do not let II
boil. Serve on toast.
To cook spinach the good cook uses
no water. First 1t has been thoroughly
cleaned and washed until every grain
OF sand has disappeared. Then put in

sufficient moisture viii develop. BY
using extra water much OF the good

WINE GOES DRIFTING BY.
Thousand Cases Of Champagne Afoat

BOSTON. March 23.-To see a thousand
cases OF champagne go drifting by and to
be unable to save any Of 1t was the ex-

steamer Francisco. which is here today
from Hull. England. The champagne was
in iron-strapped cases, and appeared to be
part Of the cargo Of some steamer which
had recently foundered.
The Francisco was fighting her way
along through heavy gale, and the big
seas were breaking over the decks when
the champagne was sighted. One of the
sailors was walking along the deck when
a big wave broke in front of him. From
the very crest Of the wave he pickeu of a
bottle which had broken loose from one
Of the cases.
