got an offer Of $40 a week

SALARY. But the man who ran the
house had u bar and a place where
they opened oysters. We we're told
We could take what was coming to
us in drinks and oysters. Neither Of
US liked alcoholic drinks, but we
made the most Of the oysters. We
would M up, then walk around the
bloc kand feel hungry again. We ate
so many oysters that Tho man who
opened them finally complained to
the manager. But by this time we
had eaten up at least half OF the
salary that we had earned. We didn't
know which way TO turn, when along
came Harry Prentice, who had made
n lot OF money with boat show. Billy
Rice had offered US a job in Chicago,
and Prentice took us there. Rice had
a show at Epstein's Casino, and he
gave us $50 n week for eleven weeks.
After that we went into vaudeville,
and always had money in our poCk-

engagement al the Avenue Theatre,

Strawberries are likely to remain
high in price throughout the season,
and local commission houses expect
the crop to be short. The berries are
of good quality, but the supply is
limited. There is heavy demand for
Strawberries all over the, country, and
the area planted with Strawberries is
very shall compared with that of the
United States.
/ The cold weather in the south which
destroyed much of the pineapple crop
also worked havoc with the straw

cigaret butts, matches, orange peal

of sweeping, cuspidor cleaning ant
kitchen duties just to break me II

that I wasn't used to it, but didn't
complaint wouldn't have done any
good. They fed us all right and gave
us "a good place to sleep; but Jefferson
barracks isn't any place for a mora
youth or minister's son.. The Off
GERS from corporal up to the captains
made it about as unpleasant for q
man as they could. They called you
anything from a bonehead to A.
One sergeant got his head smashed
in for that They never did say any
thing to me though, as / didn't give
them a chance. 1t is different here.
However. they bawl you out once in
a while, but in nice way. ] haven't
heard an officer, commissioned OF
non commissioned, use a bad word.
This is the most gentlemanly bunch

MEASLES ARE PREVALENT
Many School Children Are III With
This Disease.

Measles are prevalent in the city,
and it appears that the spreading of
this so-called harmless" disease can
not be prevented, as it is stated that
there is no law to compel people who
live at places where someone is. ill
with measles to stay at home. Measles
are what is commonly called catch
=ings and the germs of the disease are
remarkably healthy, attacking every
one with whom they come in contact if
that person has not already paid a tri-
butte Of several weeks illness to the
disease. Many of the school children
are unable to finish the school year as
they are i'll at home with measles.
Mrs. H. K. Fairweather, teacher of the
West Mankato Kindergarten, stated
Yesterday that about half her pupils
were unable to take part in the May
day fete, as they were ill at their
homes with measles. .
