DAVID AND
JONATHAN
BY COSMO HAMILTON
Copyright, by Joseph b. Bowles.)

Glynde and Hilgay, whose friendship
puts that of David and Jonathan to
the right about, were fated to be pit
ted against each other in everything.
They cemented their friendship by
backing each others eyes when
Glynde was nine and Hilgay ten. They
both played cricket Hilgay's most
brilliant innings for Cambridge was
stopped at 80 by magnificent catch
by Glynde, of the oxford eleven.
Naturally enough, ii came to pass
that Glynde and Hilgay fell in love
with the same girl. At least, that is
only my way of putting it. Gynde
and Hilgay would tell you. If they
liked you well enough to discuss the
matter with you, that they were in
love with the only girl in the world.
Men in love are never accurate.
There was, to both of them, touch
of tragedy about this last coincidence.
They were dining in town together on
an off evening to see the Man of
Many Collars at the Alhambra after
wards.
With something of blatancy Hilgay
had said, Jack, I'm in love"
Jack Glynde put down his cigar and
turned very pale.
Il don't believe you, lists alb
surd."
Absurd? Coed heavens, why?" said
Hilgay.
Because | am, too, and we're dead
certain to be in love with the same
girl"
A little chilled silence fell upon the
two men For a moment they sat
looking at each other, superstitious
horror in the eyes of both Neither
dared to ask what was her name. ;
Glynde waited for Hilgay to give the
name and Hilgay for Glynde, At last

After Shanty Boats.

At Paducah the county officer. have
started a crusade against the shanty
boat owners who have failed TO pay
the county tax of 81 a year for tieing
to the Kentucky shores in McCracken
county, au1 several raids have been
made. This license law has not been
enforced, but will be from now on,
and will probably have a tendency to

TWO VERSIONS OF
 BLOODY TRAGEDY.
Woman Claims She Is Mans Wife, Which He Denies. Both Dying
 From Wounds

San Francisco. Dec. 20.-Lying on cots in the Central Emergency Hos pital with death but few hours off, Roy Garretson and Pearl Garretson, or Haefner, the victims of Joseph Haefner, who killed himself after shooting the couple in saloon Sat urday night, give different versions of the tragedy. Garretson, upon be- ing told that both will die, stated that he is not the womans husband, and said that she is the wife of Haefner the man who did the shooting. Ac- cording to the dying man, the woman left her husband some time ago and had been living with Garretson. Fail- ing in the attempt to persuade her to return to him, and finding her ill company with Garretson Saturday night, Haefner fatally wounded both and then committed suicide. The woman, however, indignantly denied that she is not Garretson's wife and declared that she was married to him several years ago.

 EXPRESS THEIR SYMPATHY.
Thousands Participate in Demonstra- lions at Rome To Approve Frances
 Attitude Against Church.

Rome Dec. 20.-A demonstration participated in by several thousand anti-clericals took place here in the piazza adjoining the Farnese Palace, expression of pleasure at France s attitude against the Catholic church. It was necessary to employ the entire garrison of Rome to face the demon sNation and protect the vatican, which is now surrounded by cavalry and the bridges leading to it guarded by troops.
 Fresh attempts were made to beat back the cordon and the cavalry charged the demonstrators, a few of whom were slightly injured and sev- eral arrested. Amid roars and shouts and the singing of the Marseillaise, the foment continued for hours. A commission of the demonstrators was received by M. Barerre, the French ambassador who expressed his appreciation for the sympathy of the Roman people.
 The government endeavored by all means to prevent the demonstration. The stand the government is taking is that, although Italy is friendly to France, she does not wish to take sides in the dispute, especially when her relations with the church arc better now than they have been since 1870.

BOER RAIDERS TO BE
 CHARGED WITH MI RDER

Cape Town, Dec. 20.-Col. CreWe, nounced that the leaders of the re- cent Boer raid would be charged with wilful murder, and that the indict- ments would include the words with malice aforethought. This means that there is no escape from the death penalty in event of conviction. Col. Crcwe states that everything possible was done to bring Dutch and English elements together without success. Annuities were granted to disfran- clise Dutchmen and all possible con- ccssion made and nothing was now left to be done but show the clenched fist. He said that for two years he had known the raid was pending, but did not expect it 50 soon. He thanks Mr. 1Ioffmeyer and AIr. Therm. who, ing from spreading. The raid has demonstrated, according to the miIi- taly authorities that the defence force of the colony was admirably Organiz- ed. It is stated on authority that Herr Volk's attempt to out Chinese from the Rand was due to d desire to get into power, though if it propos- ed to deport Chinese and replace them with Europeans Herr Volk would not agree. Native labor can be had in abundance if the natives were treated as well as the Chinese. No body would object to the Chinese go- ing if they were proposed to deport Chinese and the production at the mines was kept up so that one mil lion and a half of Cape produce now despatched annually to the Rand was not stopped.
