fights will be held in Connecticut,
where glove contests are permitted.

The gates of the passenger depot
which shut out all the people not hav-
ing tickets for the trains were yester-
day closed at the Union depot against
an elderly woman wearing spectacles
and using an umbrella for a cane.

and brought it down on his head with
all the vim of an old.fashioned log

passed him and said
There's my ticket, cir, and I've got
more behind it. Mebbe one man and

Don't Wear Long Skirts.

That long skirts are serious mem
ace to public health has apparently
been proved by DR.. Casagrandi, a dis
tinguished scientist Of Rome. AT a
congress which was held in the Eter-
nal City the other day he told his coll
leagues that he has made some simple
experiments which had convinced him
that the fashion Of wearing trailing
skirts ought to be abandoned.
He had, be said, employed a num-
Der of women, wearing long skirts, to
walk for one hour through the streets
ofthe city, and after their promenade
was over he had taken their skirts and
had submitted them 10 a careful exam
ination. As result he bad found on
each skirt large colonies Of noxious
germs, including those Of influenza,
consumption, TYPHOID lever ana 'eta'
nus. The bacilli Of minor diseases
were also we'll represented on each
skiIt DR.. Cassgrandi maintained
that in view Of these facts women, and
especially mothers, ought at once to
stop wearing long skirts, and the 9TH
er members Of the congress unhesit~t-
irgly expressed the same opinion aud
passed resolution TO this effect. a
French writer, commenting on these
experiments, says that the time may
not be far of when all women will
wear short bicycle skirts, and that the
sooner this time comes the better
pleased will be all those who have
made study Of hygiene and who
know how dangerous 10 public health
the long skirt is.

sworn took position with his back to

The Judge in a bland and courteous

Address yourself to the jury, sir.
The man made short pause, but,
notwithstanding what had been said to
him, continued his narrative.
The judge was then more explicit
and said to him: "speak to the jury

Held the Baby and Won Vote.

The Democratic candidate tor Gov-
ernor of West Virginia is the most
versatile campaigner in the United
States. He can pluck goose, make
a pudding, lead cakewalk and play
the fiddle for dancing party. All OF
these accomplishments have been
brought into play, it is said, during the
present campaign, whenever votes
were to be made. Virginian polltl-
clans, however, have always been
noted for their vote-getting talents,
and here is story which shows that
so years ago they were as resourcetul
as they are now.
Hon. Henry Bedinger, Democrat
and Hon. Andrew Kennedy, Wing,
were opposing candidates for congress
in a district composed Of Jefferson,
Frederick, Hampshire and other coun-
ties. They were warm personal trends
and made Joint canvass, frequently
travelling in the same conveyance, as
railroad facilities were limited at that
period. The story, as related in Mr.
Bedineer's inimitable manner, was to
the effect that he and Mr.. Kennedy
went to the home of farmer one eve
ming and requested entertainment for
the night. The farmer responded with
the usual Virginian hospitality and
provided separate rooms for his guests.
Mr.. Bedinger rose early in the
morning and went down stairs, where
he met the farmers wife with a num-
Der of children, including an infant IN
arms. To gain little political advan-
tage by ingratiating himself into the
favor of the lady of the house Mr.. Bed
niger spoke in the most complimentary
terms of each one Of the children, and
capped the climax by insisting upon
holding the infant. The mother
promptly intrusted the baby to his
care, left him in charge Of it and went
out to milk the cows.
Mr.. Bedinger held the infant for
what to him seemed an interminable
time. He did not like the occupation
of nurse, but he comforted himself
with the thought that he had scored a
point on Mr.. Kennedy, whose appear.
ance be expected every moment.
Time dragged, Mr.. Kennedy did not
present himselfand Mr. Bedinger; with
the infant in his arms, screaming lusti'
ly, wended his way to the COW pen IN
search of the mother. To his great
discontinue he found that Mr.. Ken
nedy was already on the scene, and
while madam MIXED the cows Mr.
Kennedy, brush in hand, kept of the
flies, while chatting pleasantly with
the mixer. The farmers wife be-
came a Kennedyite, but the farmei
vote for Bedinger on bis record as a
baby-minder, and the latter was elect
ed. Mr.. Bedinger was afterward ap-
pointed Minister to Denmark, while
Mr.. Kennedy subsequently represent
ed Maryland in the United States
