For years he has been one of the

used his napkin vigorously, All mem

That night he had neuralgia. Instead

The other night a pup entered a china
store at Newton, and was unnoticed
when closing time came. Towards
morning he happened to think he prom

to get out. The only way he could see
was through a plate glass window over
lot of fragile china. He tried it, but
the result was somewhat disastrous to
the owner Of the store. By the time the
store was opened it looked as though
a cyclone had struck it, but the dog got
away.

Negro Pours Load of Shot Into
Clerks Body.

Pittsburg, Nov. Charles Url, a
young man employed in the wholesale
liquor store of Ben Kersberg at Minden
mines, was shot last night by an IN
known negro and will probably die from
the wounds inflicted.
A party of two negro men and two
negro women came to Minden mines
last night from Yale and were driving
about the town singing and talking in
a. boisterous manner. One darby had
shot gun which he exhibited and said
that he had come over there to settle
a. grudge against some one. The party
went into the Kersberg liquor store and
while in there the negro who carried
the gun thought that Charles UJrl was
not as courteous as he should have been
in complying with the requests of one
Of the women, and fired a load of shot
into Urls head and shoulders. I'M
mediately after the shooting the quar-
tet got into their hack and drove out Of
town. A large posse was out in search
of them all night, but could not find
them, although the team and convey
ance were found about five miles from
town. The negroes were from the late
importations from the southern states.

It Paws to Be Cheerful.

[From the Philadelphia Record.1
A manufacturer of Kensington tells
this true tale: Fifteen years ago I
was very rich, but ten years ago there
came a time when it seemed that I'd
surely fail One day when a smash ap
peared a certainty I walked down
Chestnut street toward the wool houses,
blue, blue as indigo. On a corner I went
in and hit one. 1t was big drink to
take, but I needed it. It cheered me
up. Just them a man I knew came
in and said: Say, Bill, what makes
you always look so cheerful? Don't
you ever have any trouble at alp oh,
yes said I, jollying a little; but to
look blue doesn't do any good etc.
Well this fellow said, I tell you what
I'm going to do. I've got $25, 900 lying
idle, and I'm going to get you to in
vest it for me. You're well off. so
lucky in business always and so blamed
cheerful I'm sure nothing ever fails
with you, and I want you to invest this
money any way you please, and I won't
even ask how you did invest it Well,
I took this mans money It was just
the amount my lettering business need

NICE LEGAL POINT.
Real Estate Man Who Has Not Paid
Occupation Tax May Lose a Fee.

lola, Nov. 1-Citizens here will re-
member the sale of the Ledford land
south of town to the Portland Cement
company for $4,000. The sale has result
ed in a law suit, J. w. Coffey suing
Mrs. Ledford for $3.50 which he claims
is due him as commission on the sale.
The sale was made in a kind of I'M
professional way, the real estate men
being left out of the consideration, but
Mr.. COffey thinks the talk he put up
was largely responsible for the deal.
Mrs. LedfOrd refuses to pay the claim
and has hired Gard & Gard to represent
her while J. B. AtchiSOn is attorney
for Coffey. The hearing was to have
been before Justice Porter this morn
ing but was postponed. 1t is probable
that the occupation tax will enter into
the case, Mr.. COffey not having paid
his tax as real estate man, it is claim
ed by some, barring him from collect
ing commission. 1t is nice little legal
knot which has two very distinct sides
and the outcome will be awaited with
interest.

A Bold Tramp at Wichita En-
ters Avery Home.
ApprOpriates a POcketbOok and
COOlly Opens It
BEFORE MRS. AVERY
Who Draws a Revolver and
Threatens to Shoot.
But the Knight of the Road
Laughs at Her.

Wichita, Nov. IA bold tramp en-
tered the home of Mr.. Avery, 1901 Pat
tie avenue, yesterday and in the pres
ence of Mrs. Avery robbed pocket
book of it's contents and backed out of
the house. Mrs. Avery drew a revolver
on the man, but he paid no attention to
her and she was too frightened to shoot
The man came to the house and
asked who lived at the place. Mrs.
Avery told him and the man said that
he wanted to see her husband. Mr..
Avery was in the country. The tramp
gained entrance to the house by en-
gagfng Mrs. Avery in conversation.
AS the man stepped into the house,
Mrs. AVery's young child in rear
room began to cry. She stepped back
TO quiet it and when she returned she
was surprised to see the man holding
a coat belonging to her brother in his
hands, searching the pockets.
She started to cry out, but the man
warned her not to.
II viii kill you if you make sound"
said the tramp
Mrs. Avery was so surprised that for
a moment she was unable to move.
The tramp then picked up her pocket
book from the mantle and opened 1t.
Mrs. Avery grabbed a revolver from
a drawer and pointed it at the man
and commanded him to leave. The
man only smiled and distracted 80
cents in change from the pocketbook
and keeping his eyes on Mrs. Avery,
backed out the door.
Mrs. Avery was so overcome that she
was unable to fire the revolver and
sank into chair. She did not recover
her self-p possession for several hours.
