the members of Captain Kent's
troupe, while their conception OF
comedy is plainly shown by the many
funny situations presented in their
human-like exhibitions, In which they
enact actual comedy plays. That they
enjoy music is beyond question. Cap
tain Kent has among his troupe
number OF seals who actually APP
preach melody i'm their songs, while
their performance on musical instru-
ments, though not rivaling a Maestro
in a musical sense, still show them to
be interested in producing SOUND
Captain Kent is the originator OF
this special class OF trained animal
acts. While on cruise in the seas OF
the far north, number OF years ago.
Captain Kent was ice-bound for
number OF months of the northeast
: coast OF Greenland. and here far away
from the civilized world, home and
friends, during the long sunless days
OF an Arctic winter, the first troupe OF
performing seals was perfected. With
a score OF these furry coated pets as
his only companions. save his ships
company OF hardy sailors. he was
given an opportunity to study their
natures and possibilities. of which he
has taken full advantage In perfecting
them in their astonishing perform
ances. While II is true that others
have since attempted TO initiate his
accomplishments, though with less
than Indifferent success. he is the or
iginator, and SO far the only really
successful trainer Of seals for exhibit
tional purposes, and his act stands to-
dya alone. the most unique trained
animal show the world has ever seen.
Throughout the old world, where Cap
tain Kent has heretofore exhibited
: his company of Oceanic Actors, they
: have met with the most emphatic

clans come as special feature with

EXPLOSIVE LAWS, STRINGENT

More stringent than ever are the
rules which State Fire Marshal John
i. Winship has laid down for the
regulation of all places in the state
where explosives are stored or used
for all places OF entertainment. and.
In fact, for all houses and buildings
over which the department has jur-
isdiction.
The handling or storing OF any in
fammable liquid within dangerous
proximity TO open flame or fire is ex-
pressly prohibited, and where all such
liquids are stored or kept for sale, a
good supply OF some good extin-
guisher or other retardant must be
kept
Sixty gallons of naptha or gasoline
is the limit which may be stored In
one receptacle above ground, and this
must be kept in single story build
ing at least 10 feet from any other
building. The storage building must
be kept locked when absolutely not
In use. All tanks in which gasoline
over 60 gallons can be stored must
be placed under ground, although the
state fire maj shall may take excep-
tons himself and may issue special
permits under certain circumstances
The manufacturer can bring into his
factory, however, in air-tight drums
or tanks sufficient for his daily needs
no matter what the quantity.
Tanks may be permitted under.
meath building II buried TO deptf

capacity there must be nothing within
radius OF so feet; for 1000 gal
Ions, there must be nothing within
80 feet: for 5000 gallons, the radiu
is 20 feet; for 1900 gallons, 10 fee

THE LAST MAN.

(Memphis Commerciai-AppeaL =.
 More than fifty years have passed since the war between the north and south Soon a day will come when the surviving armies will be small In number and later will come a day when these noble sons of the north and south will exist only in memory
 Who will be the last man? It Is a question that no one can tell, but some day there will be last man, and then the curtain will fall on the historic tragedy. The actors will have ban ished. The stage will be cleared
 There is in St. Paul a club known as "The Last Man Club" It is made I'D of the survivors of Company B First Minnesota Volunteers, of the civil war Once a year members of the club meet They sit about cheerful table and exchange war "reminiscences. It is supposed to be gala occasion. an event of joy and rejuvenation. It Is quaint. fascinating and inspiring custom, but 1t Is a banquet fraught with sadness, for as the years go by and members drop from the roll call a draped chair about the board repre- sents the missing member. The sur- viving members talk in cool content ment, but in subdued tones. for each empty chair is significant. For the time being it seems as if the absent members were really present and no doubt they are in a spiritual way. They make their presence felt.
 To every man and every mind the insistent thought will come. Who will be the last man? The days pass. The burden of years press relentlessly on stopping shoulders. One by one the summons will be answered. The vet erans of the First Minnesota grow fewer in number every year. The ones who confidently look forward to the gathering of the year to come may be among the missing.

sIue or tne other. 1nIs IS not only the also rnat ot a large poruon ot human> ny other than those actually involv- ed m the tremenaous struggle.
 Even here m the unlted states. de- spIte our sudderlng pIalnts of horror at Ine awfulness ot what Is going on, there is liIJIe earnest desire 10 see peace. lnere is litlle more real de- sire to see the struggle ended before conclusion than there is in Europe. And the same thing probably applies Co the attitude Of the people of the majority of the remaining neutral states.
 IL seems to be universally recogniz- ed that there can be no secure peace until one side or the other is beaten Into subjection, and as long as this view obtains It Is useless to expec, that peace efforts of any character can succeed. ..
 However, as remarked before. we are sorry for Ford. He started out with grand purpoes in view-a pur- pose founded on that most lofty of all numan inclinations, to do good for his fellow men. But, he apparently chose the wrong time for doing 1t. This Is d fault oi perception and not of mo- tive and therefore one for which he surely cannot be blamed. The whole
 trouble has been that he started in the wrong time. It is useless to cry Peace" when men and nations are de- termined that there shall be no peace. Now that Ford has realized this. his disappointment Is doubtless very keen-just as would be the fore going of a cherished ambition or desire to any other individual It Is hard to be forced to realize that the hope that one has set his heart upon must turn to ashes or that the things that one has planned and worked for and looked forward to with whole souled interest can have no other reward but 
 Hence our sympathy goes out to Ford In his present failure and dis eomfiture He started with high hope and a noble purpose and has wound up in the slough of despond and blighted hopes. True, 1t was in a sense his own fault, but this does not lessen he bitterness and disappointment of learning not only that he could not ucceed. but also that he has been guilty of putting in on the other fel- lows game when ~~..- r,.. ..@>a
