$50, and you can take all the bets you
can get. Why, this herd of elephants
would walk on mice, and rats, too. You
bet with him and tell him to bring
along all the rats and mice he can ind
in the white house, and you can turn
them into the ring Monday afternoon
when the elephants do their turn, and
if an elephant bats an eye | will eat
his ears for mushrooms"
| went back to young Mr.. Senator
and took his bet, and told him | mad
plenty more money to bet the same
way, and he said the next afternoon
he would come with his mice and rats,
and a lot of money to bet that you
couldn't hold that flock of elephants
with log chains when he opened his
bag of rats and mice.
Well, how it got into the papers do
not know, but the next morning they
all said an interesting experiment
would be made the next afternoon at
the great and only circus, to determine
once and for all whether elephants
we're afraid of mice, and that a SEN
ator's son and a son of one of the pro-
prietors of the show would conduct
the experiment by turning loose a lot
of mice and rats in the rings at pre-
| cisely $3.50 p. m.
Well, you never saw such a crowd in
q circus as we had that afternoon. 1t
seemed as though the whole popula-
ton turned out, foreign ministers, ne
groes, society people and clerks. That
senator's son and the whole family,
and the neighbors, must have been up
all night catching mice and rats, and
it took nine boys and three servants
to carry the baskets and traps and
bags of mice and rats. l passed them
all in and we lined up on a front seat
to wait for the elephant stunt, and
when the thing was ripe we were to
empty the whole mess of vermin into
the ring.

Grand Officers Find Trouble on

strike here to end at once.
The situation as developed by the
peremptory ending of the strike Is said
to be unique in the labor world. Mr.
Fitzpatrick maintains that the SINGER

its dealings and arguments with the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad must be upheld and as he
finds that the strike was both illegal
and unwarranted, and as the company
will refuse to take back the strikers,
the duty of the brotherhood, through
the grand officers, is to fill every sNik-

men, even If men must be taken from
other railroads for the time being.

CASE
IN BRITISH
COURTS
MARQUIS PRONOUNCED
MENTALLY DEFICIENT
Capable Of Taking Care Of
HIMSELF Dangerous to No
body But Incapable Of Hand
ling His Property,

London, Aug. 11.--What in legal
history will be considered a celebrat-
ed case was concluded today when u
jury in the historic old hall of Lin
coins Inn, inquiring, at the instance
of the official solicitor into the mem
tai condition of the Marquis of Town
send, returned the curious verdict
that his lordship is capable of taking
care of himself, being dangerous
neither to himself nor others, but
that he is of unsound mind SO far as
managing his affairs are concerned.
The case which has already mani
tested great public interest, develop
ed some sensational as well as un-
pleasant testimony. 1t was marked
today by an extraordinary incident
when the jury, against the wish of
the judge, insisted on hearing Town
sends testimony in secret, even re-
fusing the request of the marchioness
for permission to be present. Then,
before the lawyers closing address
had been concluded, the members of
the Jury announced that they had
made up their minds and after the
judges charges were out only ten
minutes
1t was alleged that the marquis
was unduly influenced by one Rob-
bins, whom he has known for four
teen years, and the marchloness testi-
fed that Robbins influence over the
marquis had brought about separa-
tion between herself and husband
soon after their marriage.
