HOBO HER GUEST.
Frowsy Tramp Spends Week In
PaIatiaI Denver Home.

Frowsy Tramp Spends Week In
PaIasiaI Denver Home.
Sleeping every night for a week In a
palatial residence without the knowl-
edge of the occupants. changing rooms
once because one was too cold and
finally demanding a farewell breakfast
at the point of a revolver and bidding
a polite adieu to Miss Fannie Domini.
the mistress of the household. an un-
identified hobo accomplished what has
probably never before been attempted
by specimen of his species.
The residence where the tramp
lodged so long is situated at 527 South
Raritan street, Denver, and is the
property of NJ. A. Raynard. Miss Dom
mi, who lives in the big house, is a
cousin Of the owner. Miss Domini was
busy about her household work when
she was startled by sound. Turning,
she beheld a befrazzled hobo, who
bowed politely and said: "Now, don't
youse scream or faint, loidy. I won't
holt youse. It's me wot's perfect
gent ALI wants is a little scofhns
before / leave dis house, where l has
spent so many happy hours"
The hobo then told Miss Domini,
who was too dumfounded to interrupt,
that he had been in the habit for the
past week of entering the house by the
cellar way to sleep. He slept in the
cellar the first three nights, and when
Miss Domini's maid was washing in
the basement he was hiding within a
few feet of her. - hobo found the
basement too cold. he said, so after all
in the place had retired he went to the
attic, where it was warmer. coming
down occasionally when he desired to
secure provender from the icebox on
the back porch.
In the politest terms he demanded
his breakfast, and when he exhibited
q revolver with its muzzle turned away
from Miss Domini he got what he de-
sired. After he had eaten large
meal he disappeared, going south. Miss
Domini reported the case promptly to
the police, but the brazen yet humor-
Gus hobo cannot now be found. .

Bail Refused Gallman.

COLUMBIA, Nov. 28.-Chief Justice
Pope has refused bail to James W.
Gallman, white, of Union county,
who was convicted of manslaughter
and sentenced to Is years in the pen
itentiary. An appeal was taken and
pending the appeal Gallman's attor-
news applied to the chief justice for
bail. Under the law no circuit Judge
can grant bail to person convicted
of manslaughter and sentenced to a
term longer than ten years. The
only hope for bail was therefore be-
fore q justice Of the supreme court.

Chestnut Gree
A Follower of AnaniaS.

There had been a fight on a street
car in the ''wee sma" hours, when
graves do not stand tenantless, at
least in St. Louis, but when parties
of jewellers homeward wend their
way from the suburbs. The next
morning two blue-clad servants OF
the United Railways Company, the
same number of policemen and a
cloud of sable witnesses lined up be-
fore Judge Tracey.
One loquacious colored gentleman
gave his testimony, which was so
obviously in opposition to the facts
in the case that the intervention Of
the Judge seemed necessary:
Have you read the Bible?'' asked
the Judge.
Eyes, SIR briskly responded the
witness. 'tI have been student Of
the ELS Holy J, Scriptures ever since was
.sDid you ever read in the Bible of
a character named Ananias?"
Eyes, sir, and / have been trying
to follow him and initiate his example
for nigh onto 20 years." replied the
witness.
'aThat will do," said the Judge.
You may step down. It seems to
me that $40 and costs will about hit
this case"
The witness left the chair, wonder
ing what the people were all laugh
ing about. Outside the court room
light was shed on the personality of
the Scripture character whom ne had
been modestly following. A coiored
clergyman did the light-shedding act,
and the witness hastened back to cor
rect what he had called 1.-THE mistake

The ..Nisger' and the ''Open Door. -

Because certain white families in
Greenville locked their pantries after
giving out the meals, they were put
on the black list and their names read
out to the congregation by the negro
preacher, at the same time advising
his hearers not to work for those
white people whose names appear on
the black list. If this kind of thing
keeps up, it won't be long before
the nigger preachers will be having
black lists made of ali those white
folks who are cautious enough to lock
the doors of their chicken houses
every time they hear of big niger
meeting in the neighborhood. The
average niger parson believes in the

been surrounded by a school Of man
eating sharks. Chief Officer Renkell
was sitting on deck with heavy cali
ber rifle at his side, waiting for a shot
at one Of them, when Thomas, who
was working on one Of the lighters
tied up to the Allegheny, lost his foot
ing and went overheard.
A half dozen Of the sharks swim
ming about the bow OF the steamer
made a rush at the longshoreman, and
Mr.. Renkell, realizing that it would be
useless to shoot, seized big square OF
salt beef, which the cook was prepar-
ing for dinner, and hurled 1t into the
water ten feet from the struggling
man. Evidently the sharks preferred
the salt meat to human flesh, for they
halted in their rush to fight for it.
Though the struggle Lasted but a
moment, the diversion gave Thomas
time to seize a rope thrown to him
and to regain the lighter: When safely
on board he was 80 overcome with
fright that he was prostrated for
hours.
The sharks, some Of them dozen
feet In length, swan about the lighter,
swapping their huge jaws, until Mr..
Renken succeeded in wounding sew
eral with his rife. Later with another
piece of the salt beef for bait he sue
ceeded in hooking one which when
hauled aboard measured ten feet. The
Jaws of this shark, which Mr.. Renkell
took home as a souvenir to decorate
his Hoboken home, are two feet In
length.
