The cause of this useless evolution of

by publc-spirited citizens of Glenn County.

which were to the effect that the election
which resulted in the creation of the new
county was characterized by a criminal dis
regard of the laws of the State. One of
these atlantis swore that he changed seven
teen ballots, and in so swearing either
acknowledged that he had committed a fell
ony or perjured himself, thereby committing
another felony. Another swore that he had
voted seven times on the day of the crea-
tion of Glenn County. and he also CON-

The Attorney General, when questioned

SONTAG'S THREE SHAWLS.
How the Great Singer Became Cor
nected with the Berlin Theater.

How the Great Singer Became Con-
nected with the Berlin Theater.
When the theater was founded in Berlin,
in 1924, the Directors sought to gain special
talent for the young stage in order to secure
rich vidends.
Renriette S9ntag, who was then IS, was
The rising meteor on the artistic horizon.
Two Of the Directors journeyed to Leipsic
in order to induce the artist to sign con-
tract for several years.
In Leipsic they met messengers from
other theaters. who surrounded the lovely
singer with the same appeal. After days Of
negotiations they made no Roadway. A
rich fnancier from Berlin, tired of the de-
lay, adopted measures which could not fail
to have the desired effect upon the young
and pretty but poor artistic.
He bought beautiful shawl, and, pre-
senting 1t to the singer, he pointed to the
pen to sign the contract.
Never had Henriette SOntag possessed so
pretty an article OF apparel. Completely
overcome by the sDlendor of so rich gilt,
she turned to her sister, Nina, and said !:
Nina, l am faint; please sign"
So she was bound by a contract and
formed the chief attraction for three years,
not only of the theater, but of the city of
Berlin.
The receipts of the theater were enormous,
yet several shareholders reproached the
managers of the treasury for making un-
necessary expenditures and demanded
therefore, strict account of the use of the
money.
These expenditures were soon made pub
lie, and it came out in the newspapers that
the shawl, which the singer received in
Ioipslc, was presented without the consent
of the shareholders.
The morning this fact was published in
the papers Fraulein Sontag sealed up the
valuable present. and with true womanly
tact, sent it TO the Directors of the theater.
Her messenger had scarcely entered the
assembly-room when the news of the oc-
currence spread all over the city and in the
evening of the same day a Turkish shawl
lay on the singers toilet table. 1t had been
sent by the King and was more valuable
than the first one.
Early the following day the fnancier and
Director of the theater who had given her
the shawl in Leipsic was announced, and.
as he presented her with far &C sitter shawl
he lOkingly reproached the lovely Henriette
for giving away his present and begged her
not TO let this one share the same fate This
present was from himself independent of
the shareholders.
Finally by a unanimous decree, the
Directors appeared in body before the
public's fayorite to restore the shawl in
question to its rightful owner-From the

The Fate of n Rival.

He had passed the flush OF youth, and it
had been bobtail flush.
1t showed in his clothes and in his SUBJ
dued demeanor.
Still he loved the girl and was at the
moment this story opens on his knees at
her feet.
II love you." he murmurej, taking her
hand, which was. good one, land want
you to marry me-"
She dropped her eyes on the floor.
But he was so absorbed in his business
that he did not notice and did not pick
them up.
"Will you be mine?" he whispered.
She did not answer.
He held her hand closely and waited in
breathless silence.
At this moment his rival burst upon the
scene.
She screamed.
"Thank heaven" she cried merrily mo-
ment later, as she viewed the scattered frag-
ments, Ibis life was insured in my favor
and we may be happy yet"
Then he folded her to his manly bosom
ana unfolded her many times ia rapid,
consecutive manner, and they were very,
very happy.
''Memento mori," she said softly as she
parted from him to go out after broom aud
dust-pan.
And they mementoed many, many times,
but the mort wasn't in it.
