BOXED WITH HIM.

A Lady Teacher Instructs Ex-Superin-
tepdent Fisher in the Manly Art.
Scissors, In the Oakland Enquirer, tells a
good story on eX-Superintendent Fisher,
the we'll known educator, who has recently
returned from trip through the northern
counties, where he has been conducting
teachers Institutes. At one of the towns
which he visited small party of teachers
spent an evening playing whist in room
which was rather cold and draughty. Mr..
Fisher became conscious that he was catch
ing cold, and to restore his benumbed cir
culation he jumped up and invited one of
the gentlemen teachers to box round with
him. The gentleman declined, whereup0n
one OF the lady teachers offered to box Mr..
Fisher. The latter thought this was a merry
jest, but laid his handkerchief down on
the floor and invited the lady to toe the
scratch.
She was not slow to do so, and began to
strike and parry with unexpected spirit.
Presently she caught Mr.. Fisher with his
face unguarded. and, leading out with
left-hander, she struck him such blow in
the eye that he was daZed and cried
enough" AstoniShment as much rs the
force of the blow he had received although
the latter was enough to make his eye sore
for couple OF days. almost knocked out
Mr.. Fisher. and he did not know whether to
be more or less aStonished when, in answer
to his inquiries, he was told that the mus
cular lady teacher was an English woman,
who believed in boxing, owned pair of
boxing gloves and Instructed her pupils in
the manly art.

placed their value far below what they are
worth. thus showing large deficit. He added:
"If l am allowed 10 wind up the affairs of the

A member of the Committee Of Associated
Banks expresses the opinion that depositors OF
the Maverick National Bank will ultimately re-
ceive dividend amounting to about 10 cents on

Thomas n. Hart. one OF Potler's assgnees,
expressed the opinion to-day that no other banks
would be affected by the failure of the Maverick.

net Republican gain Of 70S. On this basis
the Republican gain in the State would be
1912. Last year Governor Russelps plural
ity in the State was 905S. The indications
so far from the large cities are that he has
held the pluralities of last year and is
elected by at least from 1000 to 1000 plural
ity. The balance of the Republican State
ticket is undoubtedly elected. 1t is impos:-
sible to give any idea of the complexion OF
the Legislature.
Thirty towns give Allen 1896, Russell
1922, Republican gain Of 272.
One hundred and eighty-one precincts OF
the 207 of the city give Russell 3O.795. Allen

During the day reports came into the Board
of Elections of errors Involving the

numerous, however; some consisted of the
marking OF the head candidate on the

TO vote the whole ticket. Other errors were
made by marking after instead Of before
the name Of the candidate.

How nIeissonler Got Even.

Meissonier had become celebrated and
was beginning to make money when he got
acquainted with Parisian grandee. very
wealthy, very fond of posing as an art
patron. but very penurous. One day Meis-
sonier, hreakfastng with the grandee, was
struck by the beauty of the texture of the
tabecloth. 'One could draw upon it," he
remarked; and, suiting the action to the
word. he produced pencil and made on the
snowy, smooth nap wonderfully able
sketch of n mans head. The economical
swell had the head carefully cut out of the
denask and FASTENED to frame and glaze his
prize. A few weeks later Meissonier again
breakfasted with his patron and found by tbs
side of his plate at the corner of the table
assigned to him 4 neat little sheaf of cray
ons and holders, with penknife and some
indarubber.. While the guests at the con-
clusion of the repast were enjoying their
coffee and cigarettes. the host saw with de-
light from the corner of his eye that Meis-
sOnier was hard at work on the tabecloth-
this time with a superb little full length of
a medieval halberdier. Theparty broke up,
the guests departed, and the economic
