Not Ashamed of Him,

An Englishman named Grove was a
fine classical scholar and distin-
guished orator. He made his own
position in life, even at time when
classes We're far more seriously re-
garded in England than they are at
present.
His father was carpenter, working
in the town of Winchester, and on
the most loving terms with his son.
One day the son, then an eminent
man, was standing near the cathedral
door, talking to the dean and warden,
when his father passed by.
The old man was in his working
dress, with his rule sticking from his
pocket, and was evidently willing to
spare the son n salutation. But the
younger Grove called out in good
Hampshire dialect:
Here, fayther! If thee baint
ashamed of |. l baint ashamed of
thce"-Youth's Companion.

E. V. Methever, the murderer Of
Dorothy Mckee, Long Beach girl,
paid the penalty Of his crime by be-
ing hanged in the gallows room of
San Quentin prison Methever was
dressed in a sombre suit of black,
with a white rose pinned over his
heart 1t was II minutes before Drs.
Casey, Edwards and Teaby pronounced
Methever dead. In the silence fol-
lowing the springing of the trap a
bird alighted on one of the barred
windows of the gallows room and
burst into song. Its voice for several
minutes mingled with the prayers Of
the priest, and it was not until slip

Queer Errors Perpetrated by Authovs
Who Knew Better.


Who Knew Better.
When Mr.. Anthony Trollope pic
tured Andy Scott as coming whistling
up the street with a cigar in his
mouth" he not only proved that ne
had never made personal experiment
of the double feat of smoking a cigar
and whistling a tune, but he was
unconsciously following in the steps of
still greater writer's who made their
heroes do amazing and impossible
things.
Those who remember Robinson CRU
soc may recall most wonderful feat
of this hero of childhood. When he
decided to abandon the wreck and try
to swim ashore he took the precaution
to remove his clothes, and yet by some
strange magic, of which the secret
has been lost. the author makes him,
when in this condition of nature. fill
his pockets with biscuits.
The great Shakespeare himself had
a peculiar facility for making the
impossible happen in his plays. One
of the most remarkable of these feats
occurs in the fifth act of "Othello,"
when Desdemoaa. after she has been
duly smothered by the Moor, comes to
life again and enters into conversation
quite nationally, even inventing a gen
erous falsehood to shield him from
the consequences of his crime before
she decides to die. The improbability
of a person recovering consciousness
and speech after being smothered, and
of dying after performing such a feat,
scarcely needs pointing out.
Shakespeare, too. had {. trick of
introducing the most glaring anach-
ronisms-so glaring, in fact, that there
is more than a suspicion that they
must have been introduced consciously
for some unknown reason. For in
stance, he makes a clock strike in
ancient Rome a. time more than q
thousand years before clocks were
invented, when such an event would
certainly have been the eighth Won
der of the world.
Quite regardless of the evidence of
geography, he transports Bohemia to
the seaside, and he introduces a
printing prees long before the days
of Gutenberg. He calmly introduces
a billiard table into Cleopatra's palace,
and makes cannon familiar to King
John and his barons.
Thackeray was no mean rival to
Shakespeare in vagaries of this kind;
but in his case they appear to have
been the result of pure carelessness
and forgetfulness. The most flagrant
case, perhaps, is where, after burying
Lady Kew and effectively dismissing
her from the story, he brings her to
life again to help him out of his plot,
and in other cases his capacity for
mixing up the names of his charac-
ters is as confusing as it is wonder
full

On corner stood a little barefoot
girl in her rags. Her soiled, pulgy
little hands hugged another bundle
of rags caressingly to her stained,
dimpled cheek, while she enjoyed all
het joys of young motherhood. The
bundle was her baby" Tied with
string near one end, the rags formed
into a head. Another string about
the middle produced the effect of a
waist line. A young man saw the
happy little mother. Whats that?"
he asked, resting a hand on the un-
kcmpt hair of the child.
"My dolly" she said, hugging the
rags closer.

Yesterday In the Criminal Court the
| case OF William T. and Elizabeth EN-
plem, who were indicted Ave times by
the grand jury for renting lioff street
houses TO women for immoral purposes,
! was on trial and was characterized by
the numerous sharp brushes between
Capt. Il. h. Doyener. who with A.. q.
| Fickersen. appeared for the defense.
and Prosecuting Attorney Nesbitt.
At the morning hearing a number Of
| Eoff street inmates we're examined, the
principal witnesses being Annie Par
ker and Mollie Fleming, two women
occupying two OF the houses in ques-
Ition. The women claimed that they
were purchasing the houses on month
! iy payments. and the State undertook
to show that the agreements of sale
made by the Emblem's to the tenants
| were subtcrfuges, and they were guilty
| as charged. The case went to the jury
ana a verdict Of guilty as charged in
the indictment was brought in. A mo-
| ton was made for a new trial.
The jury was as follows: Robert
| Cornish. T. w. Rail, Charles r. Scham-
bra. Joseph Neihause, G. w. Jackson.
Frank Higgs. w. E. Cress. l.. zarnitz,
]. J. Dariyweln. Waiter Miller. Charles
Zimmerman and George Robertson.
In the afternoon the second charge
was taken up and the testimony Offer
| ed In 1t was of the same character as
In the previous hearing. Captain Dow
| ener objected to nearly every question
put to the witnesses by the Prosecuting
| Attorney, and stated that he wished to
keep all irrelevant matter out OF the
case. At seven minutes to five o'clock
the case went to the jury and they re-
tired. At six o'clock they informed the
court that they had been unable to
| reach an agreement and were given a
recess until $50 o'clock this morning.
The jury is composed of Harry Mich
OILS, w. r. Burke, II. Bentz, Charles
Hannah. John Hamm, Harry Klapbeck,
l.. Gutman. G. Q. Porter, J. f. Turner,
| O. Waterhouse, l.. Freisie and Henry
Somehow.
In the course of the testimony one
OF the witnesses, Annie Parker, who Is
serving a jail sentence for keeping u
house of Ill fame. stated that she had
made an agreement with the Icmblems
whereby she was to purchase the house.
The agreement vas dated March II.
1900, and provided that the property
would be turned over to her for $500,
five dollars paid down and the remain
der In quarterly payments OF $1,000.
At this rate the property would be paid
for on March IT. 1906. with s per cent
interest to be paid In advance. The
witness admitted paying the Interest Of
$50 each month, but no demand had
ever been made for the quarterly pay
ments. The prosecution OF this case
is a step In the plans Of the authorities
to rid that portion OF the city Of such
institutions.

An elephant keeper of note, who seems
TO possess no other name than that of
Badger, is certain that the elephant
is an arrant coward so long as his
anger is not aroused. When madden
e., X all other animals and human
beings, the subjective fear becomes
dominated by objective passion and he
plunges right and left without. regard
to results.
According to Badger. he is not in the
least fear of elephants, although he has
witnessed the tragic end OF a dozen or
more associates In his time. He works
among the herds of the Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers Circus. night and day,
handling their trunks, p~inioning their
legs to the floor. and performing SINH
lar tasks of a dangerous nature.
Badger does not believe that an ele-
plant will attack a man unless II Is
sngered. And he Is ever on the look
out for the spells OF anger, which are
always indicated In plenty of time by
the appearance OF damp spots just
above the eyes.
The pupils OF the eye dilate and fash
wickedly: the beast becomes more ner-
yous than usual. Badger knows the
meaning of this. and his careless in
difference is superseded by the greatest
precaution. He becomes alert and eau
tious. for be 10 known that nine out OF
every ten elephantine fatalities have
been accomplished through the. treach-
cry Of the beast, the death blow coming
at a moment when least expected.
The great Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers shows will exhibit at Bridge
Park next Tuesday.

WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM MAINTAINS
HE WAS A MODEL
HUSBAND
SAYS WIFE WAS INTRACTABLE
Admits That Attorney Durment
Should he Killed for FOmentinE
So Much TrOuble-CRse
Is Not Ended.

The Cunningham divorce case is stil
on before Judge Lewis, OF the district
court, and the present indications are
that it viii not be finished until Monday
afternoon. When court adjourned yes
terday afternoon William Cunningham,
the defendant in the case, was still on
the stand, being cross-eXamined by At
torney Durment, for the plaintiff.
The answers of MI Cunningham to
the questions put by Mr.. Durment, were
a continual repetition of the word mo
except in some instances where he stop
ped to explain. The substance OF Mr..
Cunningham testimony was a general
denial of the charges made by his wife.
The defendant said that he had never
threatened to kill his family, but adj
nitted that he might have said with all
his trouble, that he might as well be
dead as alive. Asked as to whether or
not he had threatened to kill the plaintiff
and her attorney, Mr.. Durment in the
event that the suit of his wife was sue
cessful, Mr. Cunningham stated that he
had not but as to Durment he would
say that he ought to be killed. His wife
had run all over town trying to find
lawyer and could not get one, until she
got Durment. Witness stated that he
had signed the pledge just TO please his
wife, who was all the time saying to
him: You're drunk" Continuing he
said that he was not drunk at the time
he signed the pledge.
AS to telling his wife that he had
$4,000 in. notes, concealed from his
creditors, he had never done anything OF
that sort He had told her that his book
accounts would turn out we'll, $4,000 or
possibly $25, 900. In regard to the break
ing of the telephone, witness said it had
happened one day when he was angry
about some business matters. He had
tried to get some ore over the telephone.
and after having tried again and again
for some time, and not being able to get
the person he wanted, he had taken
the phone down and deposited it in the
back yard"
Mr.. Cunningham also told of coming
into the bath room and finding his wife
pounding their little boy, Johnny, with
a strap He denied laying hands on her
at that time, and said that she few at
him, causing him to use some vile
language.
The case is attracting number of
people, and the court room is crowded
every day. The trial will be resumed at
10 clock this morning.
