But a dog like that!" urged the
dogs owner. Look at his eyes! He's

FRENCH PRESS AND PUBLIC ARE
WELL PLEASED.
While Franco Did Got Secure All h
Wanted mt AlgecirRs, Her Degree
of Success is Considered Fnir.

-
Paris.-The agreement reached at
Algeciras is hailed with satisfaction by
officials and by the public press. which
is weary of the prolonged controversy
and the disturbing possibilities of war
The view in official circles is that
France secures a fair degree of success
on the principal questions relating TO
the police and state bank. However, 1t
is recognized that neither France nor
Germany has secured all that was
wanted. Frances desire to have con-
troll Of the police was partially realized
In her being allowed to police the i'm
portant Atlantic ports including Moga-
dor, which Germany was suspected as
coveting, and also with her ally, Spain,
to police Tangier and Casa Blanca.
On the other hand, it is thought that
Germany's desire to internationalize
Morocco was partly realized, as the
Franco-Spanish police is subordinated
to an inspector who will report to the
diplomatic corps. Thus both countries,
in a measure, were successful, but each
is SO ~safeguarded that neither will be
able to claim a victory. Frances pa
cifc penetration of Morocco. it is
thought, is remotely postponed, as it
is likewise to the cream Of the vast
northwest African empire. Aside from
the details Of the great achievement,
the officials consider that the agree

Of the knout, the rack and the dun
geon, the returns indicate a liberal
landslide in the duoma elections now
in progress. Fraud and the reign Of
terror instituted by the authorities
have made the vote smaller than 1t

tered the results. The constitutional
lists, it is reported, are triumphing
everywhere.

Interesting Supreme Court Dicision.

Jefferson City-The Donovan Com
mission Co., a st. Louis concern, lost
a suit in the supreme court in which
81 900 was involved, Judge Lamm en-
dering the opinion. Forged paper to the
amount of $11 900 was passed upon the
company some five years ago by a
clerk who was then employed in the
Clifford bank at GAINESVILLE. The
drafts had been forged by this-elerk,
and were drawn against accounts held
by the bank in the Merchants-L aclede
national bank in st. Louis. The clerk
committing the forgery was not an Of
ficer Of the bank, nor had the bank
knowledge of the forgery at the time.
Judge Lamm's opinion says "that il a
check or other bin Of exchange, or
other commercial paper, is shown to
have originated in fraud perpetrated
against the maker, the burden shifts
upon the holder to show that he holds
for value without notice Of fraud"

MISSOURI GLEANINGS.
ooumtie. Must Bear whole parae

Counties Must Bear Whole Harden.
Jefferson City--The opinion rendered
by Judge Lamm in the supreme court
In the case of the st. Joseph insane
asylum affects all the institutions of
that character in the state. The asy-
lum there mandamused the Buchanan
county court to compel that court to
allow claims for the care Of the in
digent insane of Buchanan county, the
bills presented including clothing for
the inmates Of the institution. The
circuit court sustained the county
court in its refusal to allow such bills,
but the supreme court reverses that
finding. Every county court In the
state would have refused to issue war;
rants containing like items a those
contained in the particular accounts at
issue in this case had the trial court
been sustained, and there would have
been endless trouble. The contention
that merely the bare maintenance Of
the insane was the only expense to be
borne by the county, and that the state
must provide other necessities, upon
which the Buchanan court rested its
refusal to pay the bills, is overthrow.
