LITTLE STORIES.
Where He Made His Mistake.

1'i.s story is told of a certain Col.
Ford who lives omewhere in Con-
necticut The colonel. who is we'll
known for the elegance of his dress
and appearance, had occasion to visit
some land recently purchased by him.
In order to get there quickly, he decid-
ed to "cut across lots and so let
down the bars of an adjoining field,
and started across. It so happened
that the lot was being used as a tenn
porary pasture for a particularly fe-
rocious bull OF course Col. Ford
knew nothing of this. but hardly had
he gore half way across the lot When
Now. the colonel is brave man, but
the bull was too much for him and he
decided to run SO did the bull, and
for a moment only, the colonel had

picked up by the owner of the bull.
who inquired anxiously as to the eX-
tent of his injuries.
As can readily be imagined, the
colonel was in a towering rage. "HoW
dare you keep such a vicious animal
around sir?" he cried. ''Tll have

ance; Tll-I'll-" but here words fail

But, sir" broke in the farmer. 'the

You had no right to cross that lot in
the first place sir
The colonel stood amazed, then

asked
sNo. can't say that do" answered
the countryman.
I'm Colonel Ford. sir. Colonel
Ford, I tell you"
The farmer looked thoughfully at
the perspiring wreck of elegance, and
then in to the other lot.

WANTS DUNSMUIR'S MONEY.
Edna Wallace Hopper Is Trying to
Break His Will.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 9.-Edna Wallace
Hopper, the actress, who is suing
James Dunsmuir, seeking to break the
will of the late Alexander Dunsmuir,
gave evidence in the trial here to-
day. She said she first knew the late
Alexander Dunsmuir when a child in
the seventies. She had been sent to
boarding school by him. He treated
her kindly.
She went to live with him and her
mother at San Francisco in 1885 or 1886.
She noticed that Alexander Dunsmuir
drank excessively then. He had hal
fluctuations and wanted to sign checks
always when in that condition. She
also told of how, when child, Alex
ander Dunsmuir would sometimes pick
her up out of her bed when sound
asleep and place her in tub of cold
water.
Eventually the witness told Dunsmuir
that if her mother was not acknowl-
edged as Mrs. Dunsmuir she would go
away. He persuaded her not to, but
during his absence she went to New
York and went on the stage. She next
saw him in 1892. He was then drink
ing heavily. When she saw him in
1897, he was very weak and childish
from excessive drinking.

the store, in the rear, were badly
scorched, The flames were fast maxi

lants with others. in the case of the
United States VS.. the Northern Securi-
ties Company. was filed in the United
States Supreme Court to-day by At
tOrneys Francis Lynde Stetson and
David Wilcox. They claim on behalf
of their clients that the so-called mer-
ger was entirely lawful, and say:
These transactions have consisted
merely in the organization of a lawful
corporation of New Jersey, and in the
sale to and purchase by it of property
lawfully salable. The legal effect of
the transaction has been that the own
er of stock in one OF the railway COM
panies has sold the same to the Securi-
ties Company. and has received there
for stock of the Securities Company
which company owns the stock not
merely of one of the railway compa-
MES, but the stock of both. So that
each individual who has transferred his
property to the securities company has
obtained therefor something entirely
Overwhelmingly, an interest in a COM
pany holding stock of the other rail-
way company as well. 1t is manifest
that in the fullest possible sense this
constituted a sale of the property"

Told Him.

treasurer and one of the directors of
the Universal Tobacco Company, which,

said that when. as secretary and treas
urer, he had questioned certain vouch-
ers for travelling expenses of agents
who, he knew. had not been travelling,
he was told by them that it was none
of their business, and when he ap-
piled to Mr.. Butler the latter told him
it was matter that he (Galbraith)
should know nothing about.
The witness was then asked If he
knew anything about the United Ma
chine Company, $3.50 of whose stock
figures as an asset of the Universal
Tobacco Company. He answered that
w. H. Butler was president and George
P. Butler vice president of the United
company. He did not know whether
the stock had any value or not.

Convention.


Washington, Dec. 9.-Republican ma
tional committeeman are arriving in
Washington for the quadrennial meet
ing, which opens Friday at the Airing
ton. With this vanguard of the men
who decide the date and location of
the next national convention come the
convention boomers.
The question of representation in the
next convention, as expressed in circu-
lar letters sent out by Gen. Brayton
or Rhode Island, is a topic of no little
interest to the committeeman. Most
or the committeeman who have ar
rived agree that they have no au-
thorlty to say what the basis of repre-
sentation shall be in the call to be is
sued for the convention. The most the
committee can do, they say, is to pass
Il resolution recommending that a ba-
SIS, Which will reduce the number of
delegates from the South, be adopted.
This view of the situation, in con-
siderable part is shared by Postmas ter
General Payne. vice chairman both of
the National Committee and of the Ex-
ecutive Committee. Mr.. Payne is the
father of the idea for reduced repre-
sentation, and urged it stoutly at the
Philadelphia convention.
Il still favor my plan, and think it
ought to be adopted" said Mr.. Payne
tonight. But am aware that it is
a matter which the convention must
pass upon. The committee cannot take
any decisive action
