political liberty was as much the right of
woman as that of man. They believed it
wrong to ally themselves to any one politi-

these men for help and then combine at
the next election to defeat them.

found it and had drawn up alongside

remarked, nodding his head toward the
young lady:
''See this gal, mister; she's jest the
biggest fool in ten states, she is"
"She doesn't look it." responded the
gallant clerk with bow
"P'raps not; but she is, mister"
The girl gave him tender little shake
and told him to hush up.
"Listen at her." he said to the clerk
with chuckle. Listen at her. Don't
know nothin bout herself at all, she
don't. Wants me to hush up. But
won't. Say, mister, can't we get Ii
cense here:"

"For you and this young LADY," asked
the clerk again.
You bet it amt no other, mister"
he said, slapping the clerk across the
shoulders
1.-The clerk made it out, handed it over
and took the fee.
Didn't tell you she was the biggest
fool in ten states, he said as he stuck
the license into his pocket. Look at
her, will you? Slick as whistle and as
purity as yearlin calf. Got hundred

A slight misunderstanding.

j. B. Gordon is employed as watchman
over the u s. fleet commanded by Capt.
c. W. Durham. and now in Kahlke Bros
harbor AS is customary, when he as
slmed the position last fall he was re
quired to give receipt for all articles
put in mis- charge, and among the articles
he receipted for was an iron hand pump
worth 81 SO, but which in reality did not
belong to Uncle Sam at all, and 1t was
this fact that has caused great deal of
trouble and some unnecessary expense
The pump belonged to w. II. Darling's
sand feet which is anchored in the same
hArbor, and day or two ago two young
men In the employ of the latter, in pass
ing. noticed their pump on
one of the government barges
and Immediately took it to their
boat and locked it up. When Watch
man Gordon discovered what had been
done he waxed wroth, and Immediately
swore out a search warrant which was
placed in the hands of Constable Eek
hart. who found the property locked up
in closet, and warrants were then
sworn out charging the young men with
larceny. and the hearing of the case was
set for Saturday afternoon. In the
meantime Mr.. Gordon discovered that
the pump didn't belong to the governs
ment, and after a consultation he withs
drew the charges, and paid the costs,
So 10. and now he wonders how he is
going to get back at himself.

The Theatre.

A much talked of play, which will be
produced for the second time at the Bur
tbs tonight. is THE Clemencesu Case"
which many throughout the country
were ready to condemn before they had
seen the play, because they thought the
studio scene was not quite proper.
Since then this scene has been modi-
fed, and as the interest Of the play does
not depend upon single incident the
company have had most successful
tour, presenting it to large houses every
where. Miss Sybil tombstone, the orig
insl liza in the New York production, is
still 10 the company With others of the
original cast 1t is very strong play,
and of intense dramatic interest.
Howsoever opinions may vary regards
ing The Clemenceau Case" it is uni
versally conceaed by all theatre goers
that Miss Johnstone's LA deserves to
rank among the few creations of the last
10 years. Miss tombstone made 8 hit
last season, and gentlemen that saw the
performance last season will bring their
ladies this time.
