warmed their hands at the stove, and
one Of them suddenly began snufting and
shifting, and then called out:
Say Mister, your kerosene is leak

couple OF matches and ran down stairs.

Remembered what?"
"That my kerosene was upstairs at
the back end OF the store. | hurried up
as quick as could, but 1t was too late"
"They had robbed the till and gone,
ofcourse?"
"Oh, no. They had gone around the
counter, and my big dog had corralled
one In the potato bin and the other be-
tween two molasses barrels, and was
biting them at the rate OF forty bites a
minute"
Then how was 1t too later"
"Why, when l called the dog of and
looked the fellows over | hadn't the
heart to kick 'em across the street. 1
just led 'em to the door and gave 'em
one lift apiece and asked 'em to call
again. ] wish wasn't so chicken

Tale OF Robbery.

An old Polander named Molinonsky COM
planned to police headquarters last night that
he was driving hons last night over Powder
House Hill, when several men sprang out
from the side OF the road and threw a wagon
sheet over his head and robbed him OF SIS in
cash and lot OF provision he had In his
wagon. Officers Z. o. Stevens, X. Il. Alexander
and Schumacher rode out in search of the sup
posed highwaymen, but could not End them. II
Is supposed that Molinonsky was drunk when
he left town, and driving out towards homo
over the Powder House Hill, fell asleep In his
wagon, his horses stopped and some Mexicans
living IN the country Whereabouts may have
stole his provisions. tits doubtful Ifhe ever

hut came to no formal conclusion upon 1t.
They differed in opinion about it. A large
majority were opposed to II. However,
they seemed TO think that if the Republic
can Senators proposed to pass the Platt
resolution they would not oppose it. The
Republicans are stili talking about the
determined action OF the President ia
answer to the Edmunds resolution. 1t
rather rem harnesses them. However, they
still show a disposition TO fight. The
proposition to consider the Presidents
nominations IN open session still hnds

however, make inquiries Of the members
