S5IMPSON COUNTY, KY, was in a

meet on Saturday, and on Friday night two
well-known politicians, caught in rain

Perdue The politicians, Major BloodgoOd
and Colonel Noix. were sly candidates for
the coveted position, so sly, in fact that
neither one knew of the schemes Of the
other.
After supper. while old John and his
guests were sitting on the porch talking
over the coming struggle and listening to
the sweet katydid that held vesper service
in locust tree, old John, getting up and
stretching himself, said to the Major:
" Let me see you moment, please"
The Major followed him to the end of the
gallery. I" Major" old John whispered, 81

kept them in large, old-fashioned safe.

Having previously located the safe in the
store, he WAS now ready to begin. 1t was
a cold, snowy. stormy night, about 10
O'clock, and Forester walked up to and I'M
locked the door with an air of ownership.
He carried small sample-ease in his hand.
Going in, he turned up the gas in the rear
of the store, and then shook down the
stove. He leisurely worked the combina-
ton to the safe, and in less than half an
hour had before him thousands Of dollars
worth of costly gems and watches. At this
very interesting point the night Waterman
came in.
Good-evening, said the cordial burg
lar, as he continued to remove yaluables
from the safe to his sample-case.
Come back to the fire and warm your
self; it is very cold out tonight" The
patrolman admitted that it was and saun-

wldeawake all the rest of the night. 1t was
not until the next morning that he became
aware of the trick that had been practiced
upon him. Forester by that time was well
cut of the way, and his connection with the
robbery was not discovered until few days
before his death, when he confessed 1t.

"Zing-zanr" Described.

'Zng-zangs" are very popular with the
colored citizens. A ''zing-zang" is one of the
most unique entertainments of the age, says
the Indianapolis Sentinel. Every vestige
of furniture in the room where one is to
take place is removed before the 'Zing-zang"
begins. Tallow candles are then stuck
in the walls and everything is ready. A
skinned son of Africa then leads the
