fight bya plurality Of 3ls votes over the
democratic candidate, and 496 over the re.
publican. Before the official count, when
it was not known who was elected, the Mis-.
soulian suggested a "fusion" in these
words: Miss Ella Knowles claims that
she elected attorney general, and Henri
j. Haskell is confident that he is elected
Is is possible that Henri and ella are one ?
If not, there is no reason why they should
not be. Both are good lawyers, eoonomi-
cal industrious, and by putting this and
that together could manage TO make both
ends meet. Oregonian.

Where Victory Perched.

A fashionably dressed lady was walking
up the north side Of Chestnut street to-
ward Tenth. Behind her placidly trotted
a small bulldog with black eye. AS the
pair reached Tenth street big tawny st.
Bernard dog was coming down toward
Chestnut street following colored man.
The dogs spotted each other Immediately.
The bulldog stood still and the hair could
be seen to slowly rise up on his back, while
the st. Bernard trotted forward. The
owner Of the bulldog had crossed Tenth
street. without missing her pet. She turned
to look for him just as the St. Bernard
trotted up. ooh, ohI' she screamed, that
big, horrid dog will hurt my poor little
pet, Somebody do please take him away"
The feelings of the bulldog were evident
ly hurt by this remark, for he unceremoni-
ously made spring upon the big st. Ber.
nard's throat which was encircled by q
large leather collar. The bulldog fixed
his fangs in the leather and held to it like
death. 1t is hard to tell which made the
most noise, the dogs or the lady owner of
the bulldog. She thought surely that her
pet would be killed. In the end the collar
of the st, Bernard had to be taken OFF and
the bulldog went trotting off with it in his
mouth after his mistress had paid well for
it.-Philadelphia Record.

The Nnse of Yernnesa.

The threat "I'll put head on you" Is
one that nearly every man has heard either
addressed to himself or to some one else.
1t is generally a challenge or invitation to
combat, but now it gets new and equally
quarrelsome significance because Of a row
in the world of art
A few months ago, says foreign CORE
spondent, several young rufiians broke the
nose Of the beautiful statue OF Paul Vero-
nese which adorns one of the principal
squares of Verona After long consulta-
tion, the city fathers decided to call upon
the sculptor, Romeo Cristani, to repair
the damage. But the signor declined to
obey their instructions, on the ground
that it would be beneath the dignity of a
great sculptor to attempt to patch up the
ltatue in such manner. 1t would be
necessary, he contended, to chisel a new
head for the work Of art at the cost of 1 900
lire. The council did not feel inclined to
pay this money, and made contract with
another sculptor to repair the nose alone.
Signor Cristani, enraged at the action Of
the aldermen, hastened to declare that he
would not allow another man to touch the
work which has made him famous. Up to
the present time no one has cared to run
the risk Of getting his own nose placed In
the condition Of that of the statue. 1t Is
possible that he will carry the day. Many
inhabitants of the old city uphold him, and
declare that they will assist him In pre-
venting the desecratiop of the statue At
any rate, the nose Of Paul Veronese prom
ises TO play an important part i4 the local
history Of Verona for some time to come.

quarter of the large cities of the United
States which terminate seriously have
knives prominently figuring in them. But
these people are gradually getting out OF
the habit of carrying knives which come
under the classification deadly weapons" !"
They are turning to razors since they have
learned that they may be sent to prison for

Not so very long ago policeman in the
upper part Of New York city was aston
ished to see n small boy running at the top
Of his speed from large italian, who was
shooting at the lad at intervals of few
seconds. The policeman arrested the man,
who turned out to be fruit vender from
whom the boy had endeavored to steal an
apple. The Italian struck at the thief
with baseball bat, and when he failed to
land chased the boy with the result al
ready stated. On the person of the fruit
vender q veritable miniature armory was
found, and the man had the assurance to
inform his captor that he had thus armed
himself to protect" his ware "forma de

A noted western detective who has a

ivory handle now yellow from age, has
neatly carved upon it the name "Jesse

Queer "Copselenee Money" Returners.

Every now and then the papers contain
reports of conscience money" having
been returned. In most cases the govern
ment is the gamer, for 1t is an indisputable
fact that many persons who would scorn
to do an injustice to fellow man have no
hesitation in defrauding the state. Stu
dents of social problems have frequently
contended that the people who send in
conscience money" are monomaniacs.
This is perhaps an extreme view, but it
seems to hold good in the case of an aged
couple named Letoux, who live in Leval-
lois-Perret, France. Periodically they send
to President Carnot sums Of money vary
ing from 500 to $500, in the imaginary be.
lief that they are indebted to the state In
regard to building material purchased by
them from the historical Chateau de Blois.
Needless to say that NJ. Carnot makes
a point Of returning these remittances
through the medium of M. Guilhen, the
local commissary Of police, who, however,
experiences some difficulty in carrying out
his instructions. On calling at the domi-
Cile Of the LetOuX with the last install
ment, he found the door locked and had
TO force an entrance. The couple refused
10 speak word to the representative Of
The law, who accordingly placed the bank
notes on the mantelshelf and withdrew.
NJ. and Nine. LetouX also send occasional
remittances to the department of public
estates, which is also obliged to use force
in order to restore the money.
