The next moment Olaf leaped upon
the stage and clasped Hedwig in his
arms, leading that part of the audience
who did not know Danish, to believe
thrt he had fallen in love on sight with
a savage woman from the Piecrustland
Island
The real story, however, was now ex-
planned to them by the minister and the
manager followed with a speech of his
own. On this the excitement grew in
tense, the air was rent with cheers the
savages apparently comprehending what
had happened, clapped their hands and
leaped as if for joy and the noise set all
the wild animals to roaring and made
The elephants trumpet wildly. When
the clamor was silenced the minister
stepped forward and informed the au-
dience that since the reunion of the
happy pair had been so public, they
desired their marriage to be equally so,
ard that he was about to marry them
upon the stage where they had met.
This was done, and Olaf, who had been
but lonely bachelor filled with regrets,
and seeing ever before him a vision of
MS lost sweetheart stretching his arms
.owards him from the tempest-tossed sea-
-eturned to his now no longer lonely
nome with his Savage" but loving wife.

Circus in Politics.

The people of West Virginia are very
much interested just now in the political
circus that is being equipped at Charles

The enterprise is being put son the

politicians.
1t is complete circus in every detail,
from tent pins to elephants. The famous
clown John Lowlow will campaign
with it,
The programme is to travel over the
entire state and show in every mountain

The removal of the state capital from

largely through the influence of this

The war Is over.

One of the strongest illustrations that
the war is over is furnished by the list
of cadets appointed to the Military acad-
envy at West Point, in which appears
the name OF George Mason Lee of Vir-
ginia. For the last two and half years
George Lee, who is a son of Fitzhugh
Lee has been a student at the Virginia
Military institute, where he not only
stood well in his classes but attained the
rank of color sergeant of his company.
Three of his kindsmen have preceded
him at Uncle Sans training school of
warriors. Robert E. Lee having been
his granduncle, G. w. c. Lee his uncle
and Fitzhugh Lee his father, recently
appointed consul general to Cuba Rob
ert E. Lee graduated second in his class
n 1926, G. w. c. Lee graduated at the
head of his class in 1854 and was sent
to Europe in the engineer corpse, and
aster Fitz Hugh Lee had graduated he
rose to the rank of captain in the United
States army. This commission he re-
signed, however, to follow the fortunes
of his Uncle Bob, under whom he sub
gained renown as a command
err of cavalry.
AT the recent examination of candi-
dates for the cadetship at West Point
the fourth scion of the house of Lee
passed a most creditable examination
His friends are confident that Mason, as
he is called, will give good account of
himself at the Military academy.-Chi-

Bicycle racing in the White lot is the
popular pastime in Washington these
moonlight nights. Just south of the ex-
ecutive mansion is a smooth and excel

his injuries, never recovering from the
shock. Coroner Campbell had the body
removed to the undertaking rooms of
Kregelo & Bresee and Immediately COM

When the patient was first brought

had been residing at No. 1926 Alham-
bra avenue, where he had been rooming
for over year. He came to this section
from Howard, suburb of Chicago, III.

A FRACTURE OF THE SKULL
Knocked Down and Fatally Injured by
Runaway Horse
the Receiving Hospital-A Dan
gerous Operation Performed

Abram E. Allen a carpenter residing
on San Rafael avenue, Highland Park
was run over and fatally injured at the
corner of Eleventh and Main streets yes
terday morning shortly after o'clock by
a runaway horse, which had broken
loose from one of the cars of the Main
street and Agricultural park line. The
injured man was employed in digging
around and repairing loosened rails, and
was struck from behind by the infuri
ated animal. being felled to the ground
with a fractured skull and other wounds
which will cause his death.
The hcrse which caused the tragedy
is mean and vicious animal and has
caused trouble ever since he has been
on the line. The car which he was pull
ing up town was stopped at Ninth street
switched on to the other track to return
southwark again. Just as the driver
coupled the horse to the car the beast
made lunge. breaking the hame straps.
and with only the collar and bride on
him went tearing off down the street

hind, the force of the collision sending
man and beast sprawling in heap. In
his struggles to arise the horse kicked
Allen in the head several times with his
iron shod hoofs, finally being captured
just as he scrambled to his feet. Allen
was picked up unconscious, with blood
streaming from his eyes, ears, mouth
and nostrils, and hurry call sent for the
patrol wagon, in which he was conveyed
to the receiving hospital.
Drs. Bryant and Ainsworth attended
him, finding him terribly injured. AL
len was too weak from the shock to
operate upon, so was put to bed until
afternoon, when he had so far recuper-
ated that the surgeons went to work
upon him in a desperate effort to save
his life.

SUICIDE BY STRYCHNINE.
A Ranchers Wife Ends Her Life by
Poison in Deadman's Canyon.

Coroner Campbell was yesterday af-
ternoon summoned to Newhall, from
which city came report that Mrs
Domingo Sasuraco, wife of a rancher
living in Deadman's canyon, ten miles
north of Saugus, had committed suicide il
the morning by taking a dose of strych-
nine. No reason was assigned for the
act, and only meager particulars are yet
otainable
1t appears that Mrs. Sasuraco told her
15-year-old daughter of her intention of
taking poison, showing the bottle of
strychnine, which was kept in the house
for the purpose of poisoning gophers.
The girl took the drug from her mother.
but soon afterward was compelled to
run to neighbors for assistance as Mrs.
.Sasuraco was taken violently i'll. When
the party returned the mother was found
dead on the floor.
Deceased was the mother OF four child
rem, three boys besides the 15-year-cId
girl. Melancholia is supposed to have
been the reason for the commission of
the deed. as her family relations are sa;
to have been of pleasant nature.
