Ita1y's King Acknowledges His Mistake
in q Dispute.

Ita1y's King Acknowledges His Mistake
in a Dispute.
The good nature of Italy's king is well
illustrated by an anecdote from h days
of The last royal hunts at Monza. King
Humbert is accustomed to take his sport
with the gun in pretty much the same
clothes as other persons, aud without at
PENDANTS, thereby DISTINGUISHING himself
from his imperial German ally, who has
insignia of his high office all over his
hunting costume, and is accompanied
usually on The chase by noblemen and
~f1unkeys.
Shortly before the end of his last sea-
son the kings hounds started a hare
about two miles from Monza and the
king fired. At the same instant another
shot was heard. and an Italian peasant
with an old fashioned gun and a non
grel dog, hurried up from the opposite
direction.
The peasant mistook the simply yet
elegantly clad sportsman, who disputed
his possession of the hare for II Roman
dude, and caught up the royal arm
stretched toward the dead game. There
was a hot discussion, which ended in the
triumph OF the Kings superior logic and
his taking off the hare.
At the royal castle the King gave the
hare to the servants that they might pre-
pare 1t for his supper, and stood by as
they dressed 1t for the pan. When the
e~ntrails were removed the bullet that
caused the animals death was found.
1t was of the old style for a u of the
pattern of fifty years ago. The King
looked at it. and at once sent out u mes
senger to summon to the castle the
peasant who had disputed the possession
of the hare. When the old man was led
into the Kings presence. the latter
stretched TO him both hands and said:-
My dear man l have just discovered
my mi. take. The hare belongs to you.
AS it is already roasting, however, l can
do no more than to ask you to help me
eat it,"
The peasant sat at the Kings right
hand at dinner that evening and, al
though high society spoiled his appetite,
he jingled his wine glass against that Of
his sovereign. and rode home, consider
ably exhiliarated, in the royal carriage.

afternoon class. They have a heap of
fun.

Officer Nugent Catches "Finger"
Morrison at Work.

The notorious Ginger" Morrison, who
has served several terms in State Prison
for burglary, was arrested about one
O'Clock this morning. Policeman Nj
gent, while patroling Montgomery street,
noticed that a panel of the door IN the
req of David Davis tailor shop Mt
No. IS Montgomery street, had been re-
moved. Nugent made further investiga-
ton, and discovered that the iron bar
which secured the door was on the floor,
and that two panes of glass had been cut
out of the transom. He was unable to gain
admission by the front door, and accord
ingly went through the restaurant
of the Philadelphia Hotel. climbed
over two high board fences
and finally reached the rear Of Davis
store. He was about to get down into
the rear yard when he discovered Two
men crawling along the roof of an adj
joining shed. He drew his revolver and
ordered them to stop, threaten
ing to kill the first one that
moved. One of the men got up
and surrendered himself. and in walking
toward Nugent shielded his companion,
VINO took advantage of the opportunity
and made good his escape. Nugeut recog-
nized his prisoner as Finger Morrison,
and knowing him to be a dangerous Gus
toner, handcuffed him, and took him at
once to the First precinct station house.
Morrison ave his name rs George Wat
son and his residence as No. 235 Newark
avenue. He said he was a carpenter.

nell this morning he stated that he was
a tailor and resided in New York. He

glars, Ash Smith and Tangaree. He has
served three terms for burglary In Brook
lvn, one from this city and one from New

rison because of the absence of two
fingers from his left hand. Superintend-
ent Smith ordered him "mugged." His

tempt to burglarize this store also. Super
intendent Smith and Chief Murphy COM
plimented Nugent upon his good arrest.
