A slight Blisconception.

Under the subtle influence Of the new
world the foreigner becomes a good
citizen, willing to do his duty by town
and state and to extend it In time Of
need to his adopted country. But he
does not always grasp the entire polit-
ical scheme. Angelo, a newly naturaliz-
ed Italian citizen, lived. says the Brook
Ign Eagle, In one of row OF neat little
cottages built by man Of philanthropy
ic nature In factory town.
The cottages had pretty front yards
that faced on a street as nicely kept as
parkway. Before each gate was
an ornamental hitching post. One
evening when on a rent collecting tour
the philanthropic landlord found one
of the posts torn up and thrown into
the street. Angelo lived in the house
to which the post belonged.

came that post to be torn upY'
me teara him up" Angelo answered
"Me no wanta de pole. He costa toe

Angelo commanded. "Bringa de little

Obedient Mrs. Angelo brought the
paper, which turned out to be pol
tax notice.
"I.ooka disa," said Angelo, passing
the notice to his landlord. 'Dey max;

,eu nead was among the topmost
branches, and then, with the kitten in
his arms he slid deftly to the ground.
Hee! said Delaney when Shorty
joined him outside the fence. "prettv

Shorty wheeled on him suddenly

then he cut out pace for the training
quarters which landed Delaney there
Varspiring and well nigh blown.
delaney remembered afterward that
II was directly after the kitten affair
that Mahan began to behave rather
strangely. He insisted ON taking his
daily run quite alone. He found or in
vented numerous errands which took
MN 10 the village. and he went there
alone also. Every Sunday night pre-
cisely at he slipped off for ouiet
walk by himself. so he said.
Inc weeks went past and the time of
the hight approached. Instead of in
creaslng interest in his training
Shorty's zeal showed unmistakabla
signs OF Tagging. Delaney begged and
the trainer threatened, but Shorty Ma
nan could be neither wheedled nor
driven. The fight was to take place on
a wednesday evening The Sunday
evening preceding it Delaney and Daw-
son quietly Swallowed Shorty when he
set out from the cottage They followed
IN he,
fore the uncurtained windows of the
Vestry. Shorty entered and took seat
well down in front, and even as they
watched hymn was started. in which
they could recognize Shorty's home
made bass. Dawson. who was the head
trainer, gasped
Member the kitten told you
about: Delaney whispered. "Well,
I've found out that the girl was the
parsons daughter"
"Humph!' Dawson grunted, and they
started back.
When Shorty returned to quarters
Delaney was waiting for him.
Now, about this prayer meeting
business. Shorty" Dawson began.
Shorty's eyes flashed fire.
IF you fellows have been shadowing
me there's likely to be a rough house
here" he said. He stood glaring about
him for moment then turned on his
heel and went to bed.
There have been many vague theories
advanced and many absurd stories cir
culated as to why the Mahan- Devine
fight never took place. Some will tel
you Shorty Mahan was terror stricken
at the last moment. Others affirm ht
was paid liberal sum to forfeit the
fight to Devine. The real reason, SCI
forth In letter by Shorty himself. is II
the possession Of Jim Delaney. 1t came
the morning Of the fight:
Dear Jim-It's all off, You know I hav,
often said that II / was ever defeated II
never fight again. Well lost this figh

Some of the marble figures modelled
by women are sixteen feet high. There

these restaurants are to be surmounted
each with a statue of "Victory" in the
attitude of triumph. whether the tri-

customers Is not plain. At any rate,
the twin statues are to be the work Of
the Kentucky sculptor, Miss Enid Yam

lightly draped, her right hand holding
trumpet through which she Is sound

other hand she holds wreath of bay
