THE TRIUMPH WAS HERS.
A Resoiutc Little Woman Who Hum
bIed n Haughty Glass- Setter.

| pIeu naughty eiass- setters
There is Just now a triumphant little
lady on Dearborn avenue, near Chicago
avenue, and only block away Is a glazier
who is suffering the horrors OF defeat.
In the Dearborn avenue mouse were two
broken window panes. One OF these was
| entirely destroyed and the other had only
a small corner broken of. The glazier
was sent for to replace them.
Now the lady had two small pictures in
need Of glass and the big pane was just
the thing. She vould have it cut to fit
them and would be 80 much ahead. But
when she mad paid the workman the big
pane OF glass was gone.
She sent the domestic over for IL, but
the glazier refused 20 give it up. 1t
vhas der rules of der shop" he explained,
blandly. Then the little woman went
over.
See here, paid you what you asked
for putting in those panes and you've
carried off my own glass. i want that
glass now"
"Vhell, you pay feefty cents. Der rules
Of der shop say So"
Il don't care anything about the rules
OF the shop. You've taken my glass and
want it."
"Vhell, you ged cudt," he returned,
and the little woman retreated.
Later in the evening she went back, ac-
oompanied by her husband. The husband,
without any preface, walked up to the
counter, took up the window-pane and
started out with it.
Policei Policei" shrieked the ex-
cited workman, rushing out on the side
walk. The husband laid the glass down
rs two officers from the Chicago avenue
station hurried up. The situation was
explained, and the police told the hus-
band to take the glass IL he was certain
of the property. When ne looked around,
however, it had disappeared.
They were outwitted. Justice Kersten
was appealed to to recover the property
under a criminal warrant. 1t wouldn't
stick. Then the little woman decided to
bide her time. II came.
Three mornings later the GLACIERS boy
rung the bell. Did the glazier leave q
hammer there the other dayf
"Oh, yes" replied the landlady, stout
ly.
The glazior needed II very badly.
"Tbat's all right. Tell him it's the
rules OF this house that we keep all the
tools left here. IL he wants his hammer
tell him TO return my glass;"
Ten minutes later the boy was at the
door with the pane ofglass. The land
lady took IL.
"Tell your boss I was mistaken-he
didn't leave his hammer herel" And the
door closed with bang.
Later IL was learned that the hammer
was left rext door.-Chicago News.

So Far as Anyone Knows the Comet 10
"raking % sneak"


"raking a sneak"
The people who Lad decided TO sit up
and see the meteorc showers last night
didn't do IL. There was no use OF their
sitting up in Providence because the sky
was leaden and gray, and the air felt like
air from snow fields. 1t promised more
for the people who sat up to see snow
storm, than for those who dote on comets
and meteoric showers.
To tell the truth great many Provi-
dence people were greatly interested in
the promised meteoric shower and a few
felt uneasy lest the comet should knock
the earth, cosmos, into infinite space, but
those who lied TO see stars and those
who wanted to be knocked into nothing
or nowhere were alike disappointed.
Not many people it is true anticipated
being sent up or down or whichever way
people go but some did and were really
alarmed and some seemed disappointed
when the time was past and they neither
saw stars or went flying to kingdom
come
A great many people didn't even think
about the matter and went about their
business or went TO sleep rather just as u
great many people always do. even when
there is something momentus on hand or
supposed to 90 as there was last night.
Well, we are all here to-day and so is
the world as far as we know.
Nobody knows anything about "nuf-
fin'", as the little boy said, and the
scientific chaps don't agree as to what
action Mr.. Comet is taking since his
threatened butting up against the earth
or its orbit, or atmosphere or something.
One fellow says the earth's atmosphere
will dissipate the comet and DIR. Park
hurst is reported as being of the same
opinion.
The sporting fraternity is reported to
ing quiet sneak"
Anyway, its gone by this time.

NO FRAUD ON HIS PART.
If the Bank Had Been Smarter 1t Might
Have Got Its Muney Ernm Eiah


Ex-Mayor Grace of New York said of
the suit brought against him by the
American Bank Of this city, charging
him with fraud in inducing it to take
some notes of Grant d Wards, endorsed
by James ID. Fish:
The suit was brought originally two
years ago, and just three days before il
would have been barred by the statute OF
limitations The allegation then was
that L was partner in the firm and re-
sponsible for its debts Mr.. Nicoll was
counsel for the bank then, and he was
beaten bv Mr. Coudert before the general
term. That left nothing for the bank. il
IL wished To pursue the matter, but to
allege fraud. That is why the suit is
brought in its present form.
"The allegation that knew the condi-
tion Of the firm when the notes were put
into the hands of the bank is absurd.
The fact is that thereafter I invested
$40, 900 with Grant 81 Ward, which | lost.
| would not have been likely to do that il
had known the condition OF the firm.
would IL One OF The brokers OF Grant &
Ward was In here today, aud he told me
that his partner was ruined by Grant a.
Ward. He said that he could produce
any number OF responsible witnesses big
men. to prove that nobody outside of the
firm and Fish was aware of its condition.
This SUIT woulu probably never have
been brought mad l not been in public
life.
Anyhow, IL doesn't disturb me II is
in the hands of my lawyer To do with n,
lie sees fit. III ! employ doctor don't
expect To tell him how TO do his work
III the bank wins. my check will be- ready.
but don't believe wilt have To draw IT,
An amusing feature of the aff ur is that
IL the bank had sued Fish, VINO endorsed
the notes, I'm time it would have recovered
the money. as his estate was solvent

ABOUT AFRICAN SNAKES.
The Cobra Regarded ReverentIy by the
Natives.

The African cobra Is regarded some-
what reverently by the natives OF that
country, who once year kill cobra dc
capello and hang its skin to the branch OF

Then all the children born during the

theory that IL will pro'ect them from the
bad effects OF future bites.
