Quincy pigs il awful cute,
With their little trinibley snoot
Snifiin at the pussly that

Looks like they're 50 clean an white
An SO dainty an polite.

Tiltin down the clover tops

Think they might have napkins too5
Fl quincy pig was big
As shore an certain pig.
Men he wouldn't ac' 50 fine

Things out in the dirty street,
Dirt an all, an men lay down
In mud holes an waller roun.
So the quincy pigs is best
cause they're nice an tidiest.
They cat most like you an me
When theyss company!

HISTORIC PICTURE. ,
Signing the Peace Protocol Between
the United States and Spain
Shown at Exposition.

Paris Nov. 1S.-Chartran, the painter,
has finished his picture for the exposition,
called the "Protocole de Paix," ordered
by H. C. Frick of Pittsburg as present
for President Mckinley, at a cost of
$4,000. The picture is a work of ex-
traordinary intensity. Around a simple
office table are grouped the seven men
who assisted in signing the peace proto-
col with Spain.
President Mckinley is standing with
his hands pressing on the table and a
profound look upon his face, studying the
document upon which Paul Cambon, the
French ambassador, representing the
Queen Regent of Spain, is writing his
signature.
Seated near him, with his hands
crossed on the table, is Judge Day,
watching the signature. Behind are
grouped Mr.. Moore, Mr. Adee, Mr.. Grid
Ter and Eugene Thiebaut, the secretary
of the French embassy, who is near Am
bassador Cambon.
From single window a soft ray Of
light illumines the scene. The picture is
certainly destined to make a sensation
at the exposition.

FOR INSULTING
THE PRESIDENT.
French Court Sentences Deroulede
to Three Months Tmprison-
ment-The Conspiracy Cases.

French Court Sentences Deroulede
to- Three Months Imprison-
ment-The Conspiracy Cases.
Paris, Nov. 1S.-Before the Senate,
sitting as high court today, NJ. De-
roulede was examined in the conspiracy
cases. He began by affirming his love
FOR the republic. But" he exclaimed,
"a plebiscitary republic"
He then attacked President Loubet,
but was checked by NJ. Fallieres, presi-
dent OF the Senate, who refused to listen
to his TRADE and demanded that he
withdraw his allegations.
This NJ. Deroulede, amidst the loud
applause of the other accused persons,
refused to do.
He denied all desire to agitate the
country, explaining that he merely
wished to assure respect for the father
land and army.
The public prosecutor said NJ. De-
roulede should be prosecuted under the
law of 1881, Furnishing persons who in
suited the President of the republic.
M. Deroulede, while admitting the
honesty of NJ. Loubet in his private ca
pacity, maintained his former observa-
lions, and the court retired to consider
the matter
In the high court, later, M. Fallieres
read decision of the court. condemning
M. Deroulede to three months imprison-
ment for insulting the President.

INHABITANTS CHEERFUL.
Ladysmith Apparently Not Disturbed
by the Boer Horn bard ment.

London, Nov 1S.-The salient feature
of today's war news is the arrival Of a
runner at Esteourt from Ladysmith and
information from Ladysmith dated
Wednesday, November Is, that the In.
habitants were cheerful and that the only
recent casualty was volunteer killed in
a tent. The sortie referred to in the
runners report occurred Tuesday, No
vember IA. The Beers were driven from
their guns and five were killed and two
wounded. There has been no news later
than this to justify the belief that the
comparatively cheerful situation then
prevailing at Ladysmith has in any way
been altered. The sortie referred to by
the Ladysmith runner is probably the
same as reported from Gen. Joubert's
camp mentioning heavy firing between
the Free Staters and the British.
1t is pointed out that while the posi-
ton at Ladysmith may momentarily be
less unsatisfactory, there will be no lack
of cause for anxiety before the place is
relieved. Ominous statements are com
ing by mail that the British retreat from
Dundee was largely due to the short
ness of ammunition and as this, it is
thought, is probably the plight at Lady
smith and elsewhere it seems to furnish
ground for anxiety for the safety of the
various isolated garrisons. With the CO.
lenso bridge destroyed, it is claimed that
Gen. Butler will have more difficult trans
mort nrOhlemS to solve.

WE'D IN WASHINGTON.
Senator Thurston and Miss Purman
United and Leave on a Trip
Through the South.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1S.-The mar
riage of Senator John M. Thurston of
Nebraska and Miss Lola Purman, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. Purman of
1923 q street, was solemnized this morn
ing at o'clock at the residence of the
brides parents, Rev. DR.. Frank M. Bris-
tol of the Metropolitan Methodist Episco-
pal church officiating. Dr. Bristol at one
time occupied the pulpit of the First
Methodist church of Omaha, Neb, and
is warm friend of Senator Thurston.
The wedding ceremony was attended
only by the immediate relatives of the
contracting parties and few intimate
personal friends of the groom.
Ihe bride was attired in a plain but
elegant tailor-made gown of light gray
cloth with a picture hat to match. She
was unattended and the ceremony was as
simple as possible. A wedding break
followed the ceremony, after which the
bride and groom, accompanied by the
brides brother, Carroll Purman, her sis
ter, Miss Fay Purman. and Miss Rosa.
mond Brockway of Boston, drove to the
pennsylvania station, where a private
car of the Union Pacific was waiting to

tors home, for Thanksgiving.
The senator and Mrs. Thurston will re-
turn to Washington in time for the open.
ing of Congress.
Senator Thurston's bride is a highly
gifted young woman, whose mother was
Miss Leadora Finlayson of the we'll
know old Southern family of that name.
She is vivacious and a good converse
tionalist. Her father, Maj. William j.
Purman, at the breaking out of the Civil
war, entered the army and served with
distinction under Gems. Meigs, Sprague
and Meade. He was a leading member
of the Constitutional convention of Flori-
day and in reconstruction days was elect
ed to Congress from that state.

GOVERNOR IMPOSED UPON.
Notorious Texas Criminal is Pardoned
by Mistake.

Austin. Tex. Nov. 1.-THE recent par
don of George Isaacs. WHOM as serving a
life sentence in the penitentlary of Texas
for the murder of Sheriff Tona MCGEE at
Canadian, has created much dissatisfac-
ton.
No one could understand how it hap
pened-not even Gov. Savers. At first he
didn't believe it, but when the pardon
signed in his own hand and duly attested
by the seal of the state was brought from
the warden's office he had to accept it as
& fact-one, too, that filled him with
amaZement.
1t now seems that one of his confden-
tial clerks and IsaacS' attorney rugged UP
the pardon so that it lacked nothing but
his signature and the seal to make it an
effective instrument. put it on his desk
among a lot of comparatively unimpor-
tant papers placed there for his sigma
ture, and that when he came to. it he
signed it under the impression it was
something else
