1t was not the fault of an ignorant
Italian guest at the Cent al House
that he did not take star part in Il
tragedy the other day. The man
was shown to his room and in few
moments there came the smell OF
escaping gas. Proprietor Desc rap
ped at the door but the only answer
from the man, who had calmly blown
out the gas and turned in, was that he
was "asleep." After Il little per-
suasion, however, the door was
opened and Mr.. Desc entered into &
breezy explanation Of the mysteries Of
the gas fixture which was apparently
satisfactory to his intelligent listener,
who RETURNED to his bed. In the
morning he arose, lighted the gas
again, blew it out and left the room,
his experience of the night before
not having made much impression
on him.

possession of deer was evidently
looked upon with some suspicion,

warden, but sent back to the owner
