Attracted by curiositv, the cetaceans be -

DIDN'T TAKBHISGDN
As a Result, V. itf Jones Was Be
seiged by Game in
Texas.
How a Way Station Hotel There
Stopped His Favorite.
Tipple.
Verily a man sees all kmds of game
when he hatn t a gun V D Jame s, tity
ticket agent of the Great Northern, could
not find room for his gun in his tiunk
when he was packing up for a visit in
Texas H e is just back fiom there with
some exasperatingly vivid memories of
game birds that apparently kn ew his pre
dicament
Within the past three or four years Mi
Jones has become an ardent devotee of the
shotgun H e has an aggravated case of
tnggei finger and has a breech-loadei
that "puts it where you hold her ' But
after weary weeks in bed with rheuma
tic fevei he didn t care much when he
had to leave his gun behind H e was
going to Texas for his health A t a
friend's house in the Lone Star state he
was awakened cne morning b j a tapping
at the window Two handsome California
quails were trying to get in to give him
the laugh When he went about the place
large coveys of the birds scuttled aw ay
i~om undei his feet then long lie ad
plumes nodding in derision H e walked
by the nver and could hardly see Ihe
water for the big flocks of mallards m d
red-head ducks When he went back to
the house foi a shotgun he found nothing
b ut three rifles m the rack H e doesn t
adm it that this is what unnerved him but
it's a fact that he had a relapse and was
laid up again for fouiteen days
When Mr Jones first struck Texas he
had to stop over about twentv-fom hours
at a small way station Th e layout in the
dining room looked decidedly dubious to
an invalid and foi his fiist meal he or
dered a glass of milk and a cup of cof
fee Th e lattei was impossible but he
could drink the milk Profiting by expeii
ence at the next meal he ordered a couple
of eggs and again a glass of milk Th e
eggs weie impossible but again he dra nk
the milk Fo r the thud meal he experi
mented with tea and milk and again was
obliged to depjve his sole physical sup
port from Ihe latter
Meantime this extraoi dmarv demand for
lacteal nourishment was playing havoc
with the hotel s dan y adjunct though Mr
Jones didn t know it AH unconscious he
dragged himself to the table for the
fourth meal and gave his oidei "Tw o
glasses of milk Th e waitress was ready
for him Th e cvais jest run ovei our
cow she said we ain t got no milk '
I hen Mr Jones moved on
But TeKa& is a gieat state said the
returned tourist this morning I thought
I knew how big it was but heie s what
we did rode thirtv six houis on a train
all in the state and thought we must be
pretty neai acioss it As we weie getting
off a Texan said* 'Better stav on till vou
get to the line whv the next countv is
biggei th an the whole jof Minnesota ' And
it was a fact for I looked it up '

a ge mean tempearture of March during
the thirteen years since the local weather

In that period the same mean for March
was reached oncein 1898and was sur
passed in 1894 and in 1902, when the rec
ord lose to 36 degrees The coldest mean
or the meane st coldfor March 17 above,
in 1899
The highest tempeiature last month
was felt yesterday at 60 above Th e low
est temperature, 18 above, came on the
20th
The total precipitation was 2 05 inches,
which is almost exactly the average pre
cipitation for March

made towards the establishment of a com
plete course in sewing and garment-mak-
nJg Th e work designed in the Course for

Bljmer In the pnmiiy department are
included the gnls from 6 to 8 and these
numbered 100, with eleven teachers Fo r
the model sewing but lap, with worsted

For the youngest children, coarse work
in raffia was provided, as this is a good
preparation for sewing Th e pupils wound
wisps of raffia with worsted one end of
