Last evening people passing 5. Bar

soundly IN "A large covered spring wagon
near the street curb. He was stretched
across the seat. and while his position
was not comfortable one the man dld

face of a man well advanced i'm years
his cheeks covered with q thick growth or

TO a man who was well known IN pubic

looked like ex-Congressman Ben Clover

with some intricate question afilactins
their constituency Congressman Glover
OF Kansas slept, and, it is said, snored,
not softly or gently. but loud enough to
be heard IN the adjoining legislative hall

A widowed man. with a haunted ex-
pression on his face, stood III the morn
ing in front OF the empty store on East
Main street. where tho baby show was
held. His name is W. G. Muntz, and NE
is The man who owns the baby that was
adjpdged the 9rettlest Of all tie inIdntlle
beauty which sfaced the benches al that
famous exhibition FOR the last week. lie
was awaiting ten angry women whose
feelings were too many for them. Need
less to say, they were the women whose
little dears did not get the .irst prize
The man with the expression told a
POs--Expiess reporter that he had been
accused hy the women OF having some
secret connection with the managers OF
the show, and winning the prize thereby.
They say that he was down there Satur-
day night the only man among crowd
OF women: that he went about win ma
lice aforethought and asked people 10 vote
for his child. This is his crime, most
heinous in the eyes Of the women who
did not get any prize. The reporter was
then surrounded by an excited assemblage
of fond mammas, al talking at once The
above statement Of the case Is the result.
Muntz says that he has been adjudged
the prize and should have 1t. The wo-
men say he should not.
Why asked the reporter.
"Why. just" answered twelve voices,
Gust because"
This reason appeared so sufficient that
the reporter was forced to wait until his
mind had cleared. Then he asked what
they would do II the committee should de-
eide that the prize remain where II ~.
I'VE have been 10 the Chief Of Police,
and he said" Here the tumult ceas-
ed, and the women looked at one another
They were not able evidently 10 tell what
the Chief had said. In the mean time the
managers Of the show appeared and sid
that there was absolutely no foundation
for the charges Of the women. They said
that they were In a hurry to get out Of
town. as they had another show in a
nelghboring place, and wanted 10 make
arrangements. A man had been sent for
the Committee OF Award, but its compon-
ents had gone 10 dinner The women
whose number had been sTelled by the
arrival OF three severe-looking females
with blood i'm their eyes. punched to-
qether like a flock OF ducks and eyed the
men who were In the front part of the
store distrustfully disdainfully. and
haughtily. Mr. Muntz. the unhappy own
or OF the prize baby looked out Of the
window with feigned carelessness. A low
mlttering from the back or the hall in
the direction Of the women foated TO the
front Of the store. At 200 O'Clock the
situation had remained unchanged. \

prize off. II spread CONSERVATION through

A philadelphia Spectacle.

Next door 10 the Office OF popular
magistrate in a central portion OF the
CITY there is a small tailor shop which
has this sign I'm the window: Trousers
pressed while you wait" Quite num-
Der of politicians frequent the magistrates
office. and they often drop INTO the tailor
shop TO have the bags" taken out OF the
trouser knees. one day last week Select
Councilman Tommy" Ryan and a num-
Der of up-country delegates were sitting
i'm the tailors back room while their re-
spective pantaloons were being ironed.
Representative Johl VI. Fow, who IS
forever on the lookout 20 play practical
Joke. passed the door Of the shop and
took in the situation at Il glance. Mr..
Fow raised his mighty foghorn voice In
one wild cry of fret The effect was
instantaneous and startling. Mr. Ryan,
the first 10 dash through the shop door,
was clothed, as TO his iether oxtremites'
in flaring scarlet Two OF The country
politicians wore gray and white, but the
third wore, beside the startled look upon
his face. not much of anything. His
billed" shirt was pretty long. but II did
not prevent the few pedestrians on the
street from seeing his bare knees knock
ing together with fright. When the VIC
Tins realized the trick that had been
