Torn Court Covns

footmen carrying cloaks. furs snowboots,
helmets and what not, are allowed to in
wade the palace and push their way
through the throng of guests looking for
their masters. Says the New York Sun:
This custom, a survival of Frederick
days. renders the getting away from a
Prussian court function work of some
difficulty. Ladies are jostled, dresses are
torn. tempers are lost in the scrimmage.
and It has long been a recognized thing
that nobody wears any precious lace on
court gowns because of, the risk. But
the customs is an old ONE, and, like all
such things, is hard to alter.

The night porter at a big hotel was
astonished to see the figure of a
man, scantily dressed, descending
the stairs in the early hours of the
morning. Tapping him on the shout

prayed, half asleep, while his cramp-
ed limbs ached and his fingers were
slipping slipping. And then
Anderson felt blow that knocked
him back to consciousness. He was
on the ground and it was daylight.
And the wolves were gone. He felt
himself all over, kneaded his numbed
muscles and found that he could rise
and walk. Then he went and got his
discarded gun and made his way

bag as he ran and scattered the con-
tents on the ground. From behind
him came the yelps and snarls of the
hungry wolves fighting, over the food,
then the chorus of mournful bowls
came to his ears again and the pack
was after him once more.
He turned now and fired into the
oncoming pack. There was a yelp
or two from a hit wolf, then his last
bullet was gone, and as he tossed
away his gun and turned to run again
they came on unchecked.
The leader of the pack was not
dozen yards behind him when he
reached tree. With wild leap he
grasped the lower branches and pull
ed himself out of reach just as the
beasts jaws snapped together under
his feet and the body crashed against
the tree trunk. y
When Anderson got his breath he
looked down and started to count
the snarling pack. He could see their
vague gray shapes and their eyes
cleaning like live Goals in the dark
ness. There were q of them, and
every one, of them had but one OBJ
ject-to drag Anderson from his
perch.
An hour passed, and still they were
leaping and yelping. Another hour
passed and their zeal waned a little.
They trotted back and forth under
the tree, while Anderson chung and
shivered. And whenever one of them
sat up on its launches and howled
all the rest would gather round and
howl with it.
The wind from the north was damp
and raw, and Anderson grew numb
from the cold. Midnight came, and
still the wolves kept up their vigil.
The hours heightened into ages.
Anderson began to lose hope. To
fight the creeping numbness he
broke off small branches and hurled
them at the wolves. But soon he

Massachusetts, Fish Story That Has
Others Very, Very Groggy.


Springfield, Mass, April .11.-All
stories incident to the opening of the
trout season pale before a tale con-
corning trout in Granville stream
A Springfield fisherman OF unques-
toned probity cast his line into the
brook soon after sunrise When a
ten-inch trout Jumped up for it the
line broke
Two hours later the fisherman saw
a trout swimming about in a deep
pool with the broken end OF the lost
line in its mouth. The bait which
dangled temptingly was seized by
monster trout. The smaller trout
held the line firmly, seemingly enjoy
ing the sport.
The Springfield man then landed
the smaller trout and with it came
the broken line and the larger fish.
The trout which the first trout
caught was the biggest catch reported
thus far.

WALTERS WIN LONG FIGHT.
Paris Restaurant Men to Allow EN-
plOyes to Keep All Tips.

Paris, April 12.-Paris restaurant
keepers have discontinued the custom
of charging walters from 81 to $3.50
a day for the privilege of serving
their customers; henceforward wait
ers may wait for nothing, so far as
the owner is concerned, and keep all
their tips. This is tantamount to a
considerable increase in pay and
walters today are about their busi-
ness with cheerful faces.
The walters fight for the right to
wait for nothing, however, has been
a long one and bitterly fought It
took several years of agitation to
bring success, the owners capitulat-
ing only when convinced they were
beaten.
Another concession gained by the
men is the right to eat their lunch
elsewhere than on the premises. Now
a waiter need no longer eat the food
he sees prepared in the kitchen and
serves for the house; he can go home
or to another restaurant for his
lunches and dinners.

TUBERCULOSIS is LESS.
MetchnikOff Declares Disease Has
Been Decreasing for 40 Years.

Paris, April 12.-Lecturing before
the Lyceum Club of France, Profess
sor Metchnikoff declared that tuber-
culosis was decreasing, and had been
doing so steadily for the last 40
years.
This satisfactory state of affairs
was particularly noticeable in Lon
don, Boston, Copenhagen and Ham
burg, the professor said. In the last
named city the number of cases has
dropped from "a to 12 per 10000
inhabitants in II years. M. Metchni-
koff believed that the unconscious alb
sorption of attenuated virus has a
great deal to do with the immunity
noticed among persons living in con-
slant contact with centers of infec-
ton. tuberculosis will probably dis
appear, he said, in the same way as
leprosy, which has long ceased to be
contagious. That day, however, is a
long way off yet, and there is still
much work to be done by scientists
in the laboratory and physicians in
the sick-room.

DIvA'S KISSES ARE REWARD.
Mary Garden Embraces Pcrter Who
Finds $4,000 Brooch.

Denver, April 12.-After conclud-
ing the role in That's at the Auditor
ium last night, Mary Garden called
a taxicab which was driven to the
Brown Palace Hotel In alighting
from the car she dropped a $4,000
brooch and also cabachon cut emer-
aid ring valued at $4,000.
Miss Garden telephoned early this
morning to John Barry, head porter
of the hotel, and asked him to find
the gems if possible. After a long
search he discovered the missing
brooch lying ON the sidewalk in front
of the hotel.
When he carried the brooch to the
singers apartment Miss Garden
threw her arms about his neck and
kissed him with vigor and often and
then drew out purse, from which
she extracted a roll of bills, which
she pressed into the astonished por-
ter's hands and begged him to keep
up the search for the ring.
Barry said the kisses were not of
the stage variety, but the real thing.

NEEDN'T IMPORT THEM.
Klamath Falls Judge Objects to
Sending for Wives.

klamath Falls Northwestern:
why do Langell valley bachelors
want to send east for wives?" asks
Judge Gowan. "Why, klamath Falls
and the valleys and hills on all sides
of this city are just swarming with
the healthiest, prettiest women in
the United States. Yes, in the whole
United States"
The judge doesn't want to see east
ern competition swoop down on the
Oregon product. Although Oregon
girls are prettier and healthier and
better cooks and neater housekeep-
ers, they are at a disadvantage,
thinks the judge. They don't know
how to flirt. That's the handicap.
They would flirt if they knew
how" declares the court. "They
are too womanly for that.
klamath county has any kind of
girl these fellows might look for.
klamath has the prettiest and the
healthiest girls / ever saw, and I've
looked at girls in every state in the
Union"
The judge sighed, started another
pipe, and resumed:
"If 1 was fifty years younger"
Il was out in the valley yesterday.
and, say, there are some of the hand
somest-I mean pretiest-(don't you
say pretty when you speak of a
woman? OF course you do; men are

prettiest widows in this country I
ever saw. They know how to cook.
too, and their houses are as neat as
bandboxes. There's nothing to this
spiel of the Langell valley boys. All
they need to do is put on a white
C liar, pay ten cents for shine, and
get out and get acquainted.
II believe in patronizing home in
dustry. These boys can find any
kind of girl, spinster or widow they
want right here at home. And if
they are going at it in the carload
lot basis, l might make some induce
ments in the way of rates. All l ask
is that the brides are good, whole
some Oregon girls. Then, if they
make it wholesale marrying bee,
they get wholesale prices. No cut
rates for less than carload lots,
though.
IF was thirty years Younger"
The judge lit another pipe.

STRIKE At CROSBY
STILL ON; MEN FIRM
Miners on the Guyana Range Are
Holding out-Thompson
May Be Closed.

CROSBY, Minn., April 1.-THE
strike situation remains unchanged.
The men are still holding out for
increased pay and eight-hour shifts.
The mine operators declare that the
scale on the. Guyana is higher than
that paid on the Mesaba range, and
that they will grant no demands.
The men met here this afternoon
and listened to talk by T. E. LatI-
mer of St. Paul, state secretary OF
the Socialist party, who has been or
ganizing the strikers into a union. No
action was taken in regard to a. vote
on the. question of going to work.
General Manager Warren Of tho
Inland Steel company, which works
the Thompson mine, left this after
noon for the east. It is understood
that he left orders to board up the
shaft at the Thompson and SHIT down
the works. The Thompson is not
a paying proposition.
In an interview this morning, Lat! 1.
mer termed the business men of the
city as PARASITES" because they re-
fused to sign petitions calling on the
mine operators to increase the wage.

CARPENTERS TO. ASK :.
FOR WAGE INCREASE
Ask Conference With Contractors
No Reply Received-strike
Should Be Averted,

The carpenters held their regular
weekly meeting Tuesday evening.
Nick Olsen, the new business agent,
made his first report to the union,
presenting several applications for
membership. Two new members were
obligated.
Business Agent j. H. Hatch of the
Superior carpenters was a guest of
the union and delivered a short ad-
dress along union lines. A short time
ago the union sent request to the
contractors asking for a conference
for the purpose of discussing a read
1ustment OF the wage scale.
The union believes that a minimum
wage Ut so cents an hour should b.
established In Duluth. Before taxing
any steps in the matter, it was be-
lieved that the increase could be Sc
cured by mutual agreement with the
contracting carpenters.
However, up. to this date the con-
tractors have ignored the request of
the union. 1t is hoped that O confer
:ence will be held and the matter will
be: settled without the necessity of a
strike.
