DEMOCRATS REFUSE
TO RUN FOR OFFICE
Nine Thousand Say Methods Smack
Entirely Too Much of
Boss Rule.
Lax Asnoeiataa Preau.l

CINCINNATI, o.. Oct. "a poll
tical sensation was the announce
ment yesterday that nine OF the
twenty-one candidates named Tues

who were honored with renomina-
ton headed the list of the declina-

BAD COLLISION
Trains Meet at Riverside Station,
But Do Not Come,
Together.

Baltimore & Ohio officials are
here today making an investigation
into what might have proved to be
"a serious disaster yesterday after
noon. A wreck was narrowly avert
ed at Riverside station, near wes-
ton.
The passenger train from Rich
wood had orders to meet freight en-
CINE No. IT, at Riverdale and in
passing Weston the engineer asked
fiagmman the number of the en-
CINE the yards there. He inquired
whether 1t was No. 172 and received
the reply which he thought was In
the affirmatlce, and went ahead.
Just as he reached Riverside he
sighted the freight engine and only
by trains length was a collision
averted. 1t appears the flagman
told him the number of the engine
in the Weston yards was 1872 and
there was mistake as to what was
said, it being understood that 172
was said instead of 1872, or at least
there was mistake as to the num-
Der of the engine inquired about.

struck him. A physician nearby was
summoned and the fellow was taken
to his home after medical treatment
had been given him.

He Learned Something

Most of us think we know the law
pretty WE'LL" said the Philadelphia drum
meT, but / had a little experience last
winter TO show me that there are several
things in the sta tute books that I didn't
know. I was In n Connecticut town and
dropped into barber shop to get
shaved There was only one barber, and
he didn't look as II he knew putty. He
turned out to be pretty good shaver,
however, and as I had had a drink Just
before entering the shop fell asleep in
the chair | slept for half an hour, and
when l awoke he was through with me.
The first thing missed on getting out of
the chair was my roll of money; next.
my watch; next, my overcoat; next and
lastly my scarfpin. Invent for that barber
for all was worth. but he denied rob
blng me, and his face wore a smile Then
got gait on me and went to lawyers
office.
Can you prove by credible witness
that you had 500 In cash when you en-
tered the barber shop?' he asked.
IT couldn't"
Can you prove that your watch was
taken in the shop instead of being lost
on the streets?'
II couldn't.
Are you sure that you had your pin
on as you opened the door to enterT
II wasn't"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-28

LAS to your overcoat,' continued the
lawyer, have you a bill of sale of 1t, or
was anyone with you when you bought it2
In other words, can you swear to the
ownership In law of any particular over
coat?
II couldn't.
"'Then l can do nothing for YOU he
'snid, and I went to a second lawyer to
be told the same thing. I had left the
shop without paying for my shave, and
was even told that the barber could ar
rest me for beating him out of IS cents
and have me fined So. / believe l can
quote Shakespeare correctly and dstln-
guish between tea and sugar. but when 1t
comes down to the law l am not In 1t.

ICE CREAM DID 1T.

Come early tomorrow evening and we
will sit in the park" she had coyly said
as Walter bade her loving goodnight
and went down the steps
He had replied with smile and
nod. He was young and guileless young
man, and this was his first love. He had
never been buncoed.
The next day seemed never ending to
him, but finally the sun went to bed and
Walter found a girl hanging on his arm
and headed for a park. Under the bud
ding trees they sat down to hear the last
songs of the robins before roosting high.
He sat with her hand In his, and for
10 minutes neither spoke. Then Helen
softly breathed into his ear:
THAT must be an ice-cream parlor
across the street"
'I think it's beer saloon," he replied
as chill went up his back.
But ladies are going in there"
Yes. but it is fashionable now for ladies
to go into beer saloons"
She sought to pull her hand away, and
there was silence for a moment. Then
she said:
II can almost taste chocolate ice
cream"
1T is onions you SMELL" he replied.
s'Someone is cooking them for supper"
she moved n few inches away from
him, and under the electric light he saw
her eyebrows come together and her nose
point straight into the air.

of ice cream" she softly began, but
as she paused he broke in:

HOW HE BEAT THEM.

We were talking about copper stocks
and the money that had been made and
lost in them. when the man who had
been consulting his diary for the last
quarter OF an hour closed the little book
and turned and said;
Gentlemen, that reminds me of one
OF my first mining experiences. had
100000 left me, and while casting around
to go into something 1 read the prospec-
tus of a silver mine In Montana. After
bit made up my mind to go out and
have a look at the property, and / went
/ found n hole In the ground where some
ore had been taken out, and l found half
a dozen men who told me that the thing
was a swindle 1t certainly looked like
one, but | am man who has a horror
OF doing anyone an injustice. / waited
to talk with the two brothers who owned
the mine before eondemning It,"
"And they said 1t was all right, Of
courser' was querled.
Eyes. they did found them honest
serious men, as far as could determine
Prom the way they put things l was led
to believe that the mine was worth at
least 100000"
"And what did they asked for itl'
''Only $4,000. They wouldn't have
asked that much only they were both
butchers, and they wanted to so back
East and start big retail shop with
Persian rugs on the foor and mirrors all
along the walls. ! couldn't help but sym
pathize with their scheme"
And what did you DOR
''Well, l am a tender-hearted, sympa-
thizing man, and after a few talks with
them. l bought the mine for $4,000. and

home in a jitfy, and If you want to send
me out for somebody's sarsaparilla I'll
be yours to command"
The Elephant hurried to the nearest
pool and filed his trunk with water and
returned TO say:
Now. then. here's the water, and you'll
feel better at once and -"
And he squirted a barrel of 1t over the
poor Bug and drowned him out of hand

big beast as he stood back and surveyed
his work.

We had been talking about ghosts and
goblins and mysteries--a group of us In
the smoking car, and the man with the
missing eyebrows had listened without
comment. He was finally asked If he had
never had any experience with the mys-
terious, ana after a moment he replied:
Yes, gentlemen, have. Even as

one thing, and that was putting on a
sock with a hole In the heel of it. 1t
