Democratic Town.

In town in Pennsylvania, for many
years, all the voting had been for DEM
ocrats. Such thing as Republican
was unknown. About this time, how
ever, the politicians of an adjacent
township thought it a good time to
start a Republican organization, and
finally persuaded a Mr.. Green who had
candidate for some minor office. On
election day Mr.. Green was too i'll to
go to the polls. In due time the votes
were published and Mr.. Green had just
one vote. Chagrined at this and an
noyed by the accusation that he had
voted for himself. he offered to give a
suit of clothing to the person who had
voted for him. The next day stupid
looking Pennsylvania Dutchman called
upon Mr.. Green and remarked:
IT wants dat suit of cloes.
"Ah.'' said Mr.. Green, then you are
the man who voted for me?" 20
yah, I'm dat man." "a So.

"Yah, swear to it,
After the clothing was given, Mr..
Green was so delighted, relieved and
glad to know that there was another

A Confidence Dog.

A butcher narrated the other day
a story illustrative of the intelligence
of dogs.
"A patron of mime he said, had

Hello, doggie,' said I, AID the collie
wagged his tail and dropped the paper
on the floor at my feet. 1 opened it.

ter for a piece of sausage. gave
him the sausage. He ate it and went
home.
Thine after time the collie came
with these orders to me, and finally
1 stopped reading them. Each, pre-
sumed was for sausage, and each
procured a sausage. L suppose, all
told, the dog got as many as TWEEN
ty pounds of sausages from me in two
months.
But the master, when 1 presented
my bill, kicked. He said he had only
given the dog about a dozen orders.
whereas 7 must have honored nearly
a hundred.
'Well, the upshot was that the two
of US got together and did a little
detective work. We watched the dog.
And do you know what we found ?
Why, we found that this cunning dog,
whenever a sausage hunger seized him.
would grab up a piece of white paper

to me.

looking at the paper, and through my
carelessness the collie had fooled me

Johnson: Il will give you 5000 for

Johnson and Hermann are credited

FRISCO MAY STOP FIGHTS.
Club chickering's and Jeffries-Munroe
WaIkover the Cause. -''' e.

san Francisco, sept THE f1gnt
between Joe Cans and Jimmy Garo-
ner. scheduled for September 80, may
be the last professional glove contest
to take place this year in TINS CITY
and county of San Francisco.
Recent developments in the pugl-
listic game have been such that the
board of supervisors is almost 10
man opposed to the issuance or any
more permits. To state it briefly, the
CITY fathers have determined that the
best way to stop the recurrence OF
another such fiasco as the JefIrles-
Munroe walkover is to prohibit en-
firely any more matches.
Although individually the members
of the board are prone to avoid any
discussion of the subject, it has leaked
out during the last several days that
there is a large stock of dissatstac-
ton in the city legislative body. Inc
members first became disguised when
Morris Levy, director general of the
Hayes Valley club affairs, attempted
TO grab the August permit when that
date was established by rotary appor-
tfonment the property of James w.
Corfroth, matchmaker for the Yo-
semitic and Shasta clubs. Then came
the Jeffries- Munroe farce, and the dis
gust deepened to such an extent that
at present the game is decidedly in
aeoDArdy.

Complaint Against Bowerman.

Pittsburg. Pa, Sept. President
Harry Pulliam, who is in the CITY,
announces that the Cincinnati club
proposes to file a complaint against
Catcher Frank Bowerman. who struck
a spectator at the game on Wednes-
day, and is now seeking evidence in
the case. Mr.. Pulliam, who must be
governed by the reports of his UNI
pires, can not take any action in the
matter, as thinner states in his re-
port that he did not see any blows
struck. The Cincinnati club, how
ever, proposes to protect its patrons
from assaults by players. and it is
limited that the Bowerman affair will
be taken to the National league.
