Albrecht will Fight Extradiiion.

william Albrecht. son OF Hrs. Erie.
dericke Albrecht of this city IL under
arrest At St.. Paul under reQuisition
papers from the State Of Montana.
The first Information that the young
man was In trouble WAS disclosed BY .
letter received by Sheriff Julius over
. week ago from . sheriff Of Montana
requesting him to be on the look out
tor William Albrecht. 1t appeared
from the letter that Albrecht bad hired
q span of horses and wagon from .
neiphbor over two months ago and
had then disappeared. The owner OF
the property values it At $4,000. AL.
brecht promptly disappeared and It Is
assumed that he disposed Of the prop.
erty and then left the country. After
searching for him and the property for
several weeks without result, the
sheriff concluded that his man might
have gone to New UIm,, his former
home, and therefore wrote to Sheriff
julius asking him to be on the LOOKOUT.
When the letter reached New Ulm AL.
brecht who had been visiting here for
several weeks, had already left.
Sheriff Julius, however, got on his
trail and located him last Friday at
the Frederick Hotel In st. Paul and
notified the Montana authorities where
they could find their man. They i'm
nediateIy wired the Sheriff OF Ramsey
County and the arrest of Albrecht fol-
lowed. Albrecht stoutly maintains
his innocence and says that be is going
to fight the extradition papers. From
letter received by Sheriff Julius
since Albrecht's s arrest, from the owner
of the property We gather that the
money for the loss of the team would
be more agreeable than the return OF
Albre chit to Montana.

A Weird Procession.

Five hundred snake charmers, sound
ing weird notes on their pipes, formed
the unusual yet picturesque procession
that followed to his grave Katch Sarak,
a man Of big renown in his business,
who died in terrible agony as the result
of a cobra bite received while practic-
ing his profession in the neighborhood
of Garden Reach, India.
"Guru," or god, he had become
dubbed by the people among whom he
lived, such was his influence over poi
sonous reptiles. HIN services were
sought recently by a neighbor who had
missed many fowls from his compound
Going at dusk one day, the snake
charmer discovered a cobra of unusual
size among the birds; so formidable in
fact, that he postponed his attempt 10
capture it until daylight, when he was
successful in securing it.
Instead of dispatching the snake al
once, he took 1t to the local bazaar for
the edification OF the natives. On al
tempting to extract it's fangs, the cobra
wriggled free and darted at It's captor
who was bitten on three fingers. The
gurus" supposed godlike qualities
proved of no avail.

TIME teacher asked us to rite
essay on What Constl-toots
Grateness, & last mite l asked
Pa & Ma to help me rite it.
Thay are crowding the children
ahed too fast these days, sed Ma, the
idee of asking a child to rite a essay
with a subjeck like that.
1t may seem like vary deep sub
jock to you, sed Pa, but it is mere
child's play for me. l will help Bob
looking at yure fashion magazine,
sed Pa. Bobbie, cum into the library
ware we will be close to the books &
will rite yure essay with you.
In the first place, sed Pa, wen we
got into the library, true grateness
is what the teecher ment wen she
gave you the subjeck. What Consti-
toots Grateness. OF course there are
different kinds of grateness. Mathew
son, for instans, is the gratest pitcher
that ever lived, & yet he will not
live in history as a CRATE man. Bryan
is a CRATE talker, & yet he will newer
be remembered as Washington was
remembered. Dickey Doolin Is a crate
prize fiter but that let's him out. None
of these men mite be sed to be truly
CRATE, Pa told me. Grateness of the
reel sort as the grateness Of a Shake
speer or a Caesar, or. to bee moar
modern, like me, sed Pa.
The surest way to tell reel CRATE
ness or to spot a CRATE man, sed Pa,
is to notice his clothes. He will new
yer look like a tramp on the bench
in the park, Pa sed, but he will
newer look like a picture of a man
: like you see on cards in the tailor
shops. All Of them men on the tailor
| cards, sed Pa, has high, stiff collars
| & thay ware leather gloves, rite in
! the middle of the Summer even.
| l always thought that was the rite
| way to dress, l toald Pa.
| 1t maybe the rite way to dress for a
yung man that likes to dress, sed Pa.
| but it amt the rite way to dress if
| you are a crate man. Imagine George
Washington with one of them Alpine
| hats with a bow on the back of it, Pa
sed. Or think OF Caesar leeding his
Romans aggenst the Gauls with
high, stiff collar on. Why, sed Pa, if
| one of them Gauls shud hit Caesar on
| the top of the he'd 1t wud cut his
| throte. No, Bobbie, sed Pa, the truly
CRATE man of all time have been
men witch believed in having thare
| clothes comfortable but not stylish
Thay believed in beeing eileen &
| took a bath Wenever 1t was handy
| but moar than one CRATE man has
been known to live in place ware
