The situation is reported as grave,
as the spirit of revolt is widespread
among the Portuguese people.
The dispatch, giving details of the
battles, is undated, but the first riot
is one that was reported two or three
days ago as rather Insignificant af-
fair. The first trouble grew out of the
act of the king in dismissing parlia-

decree. 1t occurred on the return to
Lisbon of Senior Franco, the premier,

SQUIRRELS IN MISSOURI.

Squirrels are generally thickest in the heavy hickory timber and in the big tracts of overcup oaks. When these crops have borne but slightly, the squirrel transfers his feeding grounds to the willow oak flats, where an abundance of these small acorns make up for the lack of other dainties But if farmer has plowed up a tract of rich swamp land and planted it to corn, then the gray squirrel feels as through the nut crop was but a very comon diet, and levies tribute day af- ter day on the farmer who has had the audacity to invade a territory that has been sacred to him for centuries.
 ray squirrels are out stirring from the first gray of dawn until the hour of 10 a, m. After that they are not seen again until p. m. On very windy days few stir about. During the nut ting season they are very gentle, and during the latter part of January while watching the mallards drop into the willow oak flats, they scampered all around us, and hardly a tree but held band of these running var hints. Often they boldly returned within 10 yards of us. In the fall they are more wary of man, and make good shooting as they run and jump from tree to ti'er-as they sel- dom lie still and permit one to walk al around their tree, like the fox squirrel of the hills.
 Our hill squirrels, namely, the big fox squirrels, seldom venture into the bottoms, and it is rare sight to see one The gray squirrel is a warrior and comes right up into the feeding grounds of his enemies with perfe, impunity h the hill lands adjacent to the bottoms, the fox squirrel Is fair ly plentiful, and does not increase in proportion to his gray brother. The fox squirrel usually makes his home in large post oak trees, invariably those that have a dead top. He will venture out at all hours of the day. but generally alone. Except in the rutting season, they do not appear tc run in bands like the gray ones. They are not successfully hunted without 6 ' dog, for they are always on the alert 1 to hide, and when treed they remain quiet in some fork until killed.-Forest and Stream.

What happened? They would not agree, and the judge finally had to discharge them, but not until he had expressed in very plain words just what he felt. When the man was tried & second time he was convicted, and that is only week or so ago..
 Its all speculation what jury will do, said the court clerk. Sometimes you will have a panel of jurors which will be for conviction in almost any kind of case. Then you will get set of men who will not convict on the most convincing evidence.
 At times prosecutor will be great favorite with jury and they will do almost anything he asks. An other prosecutor may antagonize a jury from the start, and they will vote against him even if he makes, out a perfect case.
 "Often juries become irritable and the judge has to scold them. I've known cases in which jury has felt that the judge tried to influence its verdict when he only laid particular stress on an involved point of law. Then they wouldn't agree on any point in the case.
 Tn summer juries feel sometimes that they are being imposed upon when ] they are asked to work a long day. If they are kept out very long in the hope that they will agree on verdict they blame the judge. But when a strict judge gets the impression that the jury are trying to shirk their work he is apt ito keep them out long time.
 "As an example of stubborn juries, | remember a case in which the prosecu- | tion made out a complete chain of evil dence and there was no defense. There wasn't any doubt about the defend ants guilt. and thee judge in a brief charge practically said so.
 "A couple of the jurors decided that the judge was abusing their preroga- lives and they wouldn't vote for con- viction. The judge knew what was go- ing on and kept them in a stuffy room l for hours on hot afternoon, but the two men wouldn't give in and the judge was compelled to discharge the jury In the evening"
 Nov and then a funny thing hap pens. I remember an unimportant case where all thee jury had to do was to announce that the defendant was not guilty Thee foreman of the jury was German. As had been expected the jury was out only a moment.
 "'Do you acquit? asked the clerk, l ignoring the usual form for taking verdicts.
 | "'No,' said the foreman promptly.
 "The other jurors poked him in the ribs.
 "We say not guilty said the Ger lman, who was puzzled Charleston News and Courier.

were to leave off paying this tribute in so questionable form there might be cretain heartburnlngs suggesting a lack of popularity. Indeed it is on record that the beautiful and famous duchess of Devonshire once said she would know when her popularity was on the wane when the butcher boy in the street ceased to turn round and look at her. I have seen the king In the streets of London alone and un- attended, unrecognized by the thous- ands of people who passed him by, frequently see the queen in her car- riage, and were 1t not for the fact that the police have some secret wire less code which enables them to stop the traffic half mile in advance of the royal equipage, the public would probably not know that she was abroad. In former days when the kings daughters were young girls often saw them on the tops of omni- buses having ride and imagining themselves in the light of ordinary Londoners, and this have always understood was the chief joy of the young prineesses. Nothing gave them greater pleasure than to go into shop and to be addressed by the gorgeous young gentlemen in froclx coats as "Yes, miss" and No, miss; i; which is quite natural when one con siders the everlasting formalities and obsequiousness coupled with "Your royal highness thls" and Your royal highness that" to which they are in- evltably forced to submit

RAT DOES TRAPEzE ACT.
Walks Telegraph Wire, Beset by Spar
 rows Until the End.

A gray rat walking along an elec- tric wire thirty feet above the ground for many blocks furnished novelty on West Baltimore street, The feat which sexcels that of any trick rat ever exhibited in a show, would seem a dream of the imagination but for the fact that the spectacle is absolute ly vouched for by thousands of per- sons who watched the strange sight from o'clock until 8. Beset by a number of English sparrows, which seemed to take a fiendish delight in attacking the badly handicapped rod
 ent, he at times varied his steady gait along the wire by acrobatic perform
 ances calculated to ward off the at tacks of the birds He would sit up on his launches on the slender wire, no
 larger than a lead pencil, and recon- hotter before continuing his hapless journey from pole to pole. After a
 most gallant fight for life, which de- served a betetr recognition under the' rules of fair play, the unfortunate an
 inal was finally knocked from the
 wire at Carrolton avenue and Balti-
 more street and dispatched by dog
 Just how the rat got on the wire in the first place has not been satisfac-
 torily explained, but 1t Is thought that dog chased him somewhere-s persons say as far east as the neigh borhood of Howard and Baltimore streets-and forced him to run up a pole. Baltimore Dispatch to Wash Iington Post
