SOUNDS LIKE A ROMANCE.-A
few years ago, when o United States
Senatorial election was pending i'm
Ohio one of the leading candidates
needed another vote to make his
election sure. His campaign mana.
ger, after canvassing the situation,
began work upon bucolic repre-.
sentative from one of the Western
Reserve counties.
The old man grew very indignan
at the first hint of money in connec.
tion with his vote. He fumed q
great deal, swore a little and very
melodramatically asserted that his
manhood was not tor sale at any
price," Gradually the fact was i'm.
pressed upon him that the one neccs.
Sary vote could be secured in anothe,
quarter and that his obstinacy would
have no effect upon the Senatorial re.
suit anyway, while it might materi.
ally affect his pocketbook.
Thereupon the old fellow made an
eloquent plea in his own behalf
lie strongly asserted that he was an
hoheot uau, whose reputation was
as dear to him as his life, and whose
character always had been unspotted
by contact with the world.
"You will readily understand,
SIR" he added, "that having as
much at stake as l do it would be
impossible for me to entertain for
one moment any proposition you
might make to try to influence my
vote in this matter. My vote is not
for sale, but l have no ill feeling to-
ward you for what you have tried to
do. And as proof of that fact I'll
go right over to your room now and
join you in social game of euchre,
just between ourselves"
" All right" assented the lobbyist,
" Pm pretty busy, but l guess / can
find time enough for a single rubber
with you. How about stakes? ?"

Money and Yaluablcs.

In one of the old London banks a
box was recently found, containing
money and valuables, which had
not been opened or called for in one
hundred and sixty years, and which
now remains without claimant
Incidents Of like sort are not infre-
quent in banking history, though
there is no other recorded instance
of package held in trust remaining
so long uneXamined.
Some years ago the Merchants
National Bank of Baltimore dicov-
cred box containing ten thousand
dollars in bonds of the Pennsyl-
Vania Railroad, the ownership of
which could not at first be traced
The coupons for the preceding fif.
teen years were still attached. 1t
was finally discovered that the bonds
belonged to the Hagerstowu, Md,
Bank, and had been deposited as
collateral. The president of the
HagerStown Bank died the cashier
was superseded, and the institution
lost all traces of the transaction
The disappearance of the securities,
however, always remained an un,
pleasant mystery until it was thus
happily cleared up.
In one of the private banking
houses of Frankfort, during the
first half of the century, box con.
tanning large sum Of money and
securities was deposited for safe
keeping, and when called for a few
days aftcrward could not be found
The banker had himself received it
and, rs he supposed, pnt it i'm place
of security. He was so overcome
by the occurrence that he went home
and shot himself. The next day thu
treasure turned up, safe and sound
the receptacle having in momen
of absence of mind been stored
away in an odd corner and over

PennsylVania's ends got down the field

was handicapped by the absence OF
Boyle from the left end while the In

uninterestfng, owing to changing tao
ties from aggressiveness to careful de-
Tense. Good kicking was difficult be-
cause of a spanking northwest wind,
which favored the Chicagoans in the
first half and Yale in the second half.
The game was marked by striking
features-the remarkable playing of
Draper, of Chicago the famous for
mer Williams half-back, and the Won
derful Improvement in the Yale team.
Draper was a tower of strength, and
to him is due the credit of the West
erners' only score. Yales offensive work
was sharp, rapid and telling, and her
defensive tactics while weaker than
in former years, indicated an improve

crowd. The Hanleys were outclassed, and
never once was the st. Thomas goal in dan

their interference faster and tackled hard
Twenty-mnute halves were agreed upon. St.

to the center. On the first line up st.

defeated the Central high school of
Minneapolis, in that city yesterday,
by a score of AZ to 0. The game was a
splendid contest From start to finish,
at every point, the South side outplay-
ed Central There never was an in
slant when Central had the slightest
show to score. How overwhelmed they
were may be inferred from the fact
that only once in the entire game did
they get the ball on downs. They had
the ball in their opponents territory
but five times throughout the game.
South side played a fast and splendid
game. They bucked the line beauti-
fully, made end gains at will. their
Interference, their tackling, and their
team work good. In four minutes after
Central kicked off South side had
