a special meeting Of the local CONNER
eial Telegraphers' Union has been called
for 4;SO o'clock this afternoon to elect a
delegate to the special convention, OF
meeting called by the International Ex-
ecutive Board, TO be held in Milwaukee,
Wis, October o. Great interest is be-

cessor for the presidency of the Interna-
tional body.
President Small has already been sus-
pended by the executive board. but In an
interview yesterday, replying 10 the
question as to whether he would apply
FER reinstatement. he declared emphat-
ically there was no reason for his doing
so; that he was the president and that
no special convention had been called, as
he, as president, was the only person en-
powered to call such a meeting. opinion
seems 10 vary on this point
Local Meeting To-day.
Next, to the convention, interest eenters
in the special meeting of the local body
to-day. Several candidates have an
nounced themselves for the delegateship,
and it is impossible 10 guess who will be
elected. The meeting will undoubtedly be
largely attended. and there is a possibility
of hot fight over the question OF in
structing the local delegate.
II is freely admitted that the conven-
tion is for the purpose of preferrlng
charges against, and probably expeHing
President Small, and the sentiments Of
the local body seem to be in keeping
with this policy. The convention viii

No Fun Fer 1oys,

In some Of the cautions OF Switzer-
land they have special laws made for
boys. Here is sample Of them:
III a boy throws stone aud hits a
man he may be fined 3 francs.
III boy throws a SNOWFALL and hits
a woman he may be fined 2 francs.
If boy calls girl red head he
may be fined from 2 to francs.
IF a boy throws at frogs in pond
without being ordered to do so by his
father or teacher he shall be fined a
franc
If boy throws stone and breaks
a window belonging to some one else
his father may whip him or he may be
fined francs.
If a boy makes face at his teach
er or draws pictures Of him on his
slate or speaks ILL of him he may ba
fined francs and have to beg his par.
don.
III boy stones dog or chases q
cat 1t Is q fine of franc.
III two boys fight without the con-
sent of their teacher it is a fine Of 5
francs.
'Ifsa boy steals apples or othar fruit
1t is fine Of francs. and he should be
beaten by his father"
The American boy who reads the
above will wonder what the Swiss boy
has to live for. About all he can do
and not be fined Is to have the measles
or whooping cough.-Exchange

A Pony Sentinel.

During one Of General Clusters In
dian campaigns he had boy bugler
with him who was mounted on a cir
Gus pony he had picked up somewhere.
The animal was not only full of tricks,
but he proved himself q better sentinel
than any of the soldiers. Three times
In four months he saved the camp
from night attack when no other
suspected that danger was near. Upon
one occasion the pony, who was loose
and walking about camp, discovered a
sentinel asleep on his post. That was
wrong, and the animal knew it was
and he gave the soldier such bite on
the arm as caused him to yell out and

pony had twelve arrows in his body
when found.-Cincinnau Commercial

Dean Stanley was once driving with
friend from Monrtale to Palermo.
Both men were reading. Stanley sud.
denly discovered that he was shiver.
ing with cold. He mentioned the
matter to his friend.
.Well, hadn't you better put some.
thing on?" said the latter, pointing to
the deans bag, which was close at
hand.
Stanley thought 1t rather a good
idea, and the friend went on reading.
As they entered Palermo there were
shouts of astonishment. Stanley was
placidly reading. His friend found
that the distinguished churchman had
absentmindedly drawn out a night,

Jean Richepin's Career.

The story Of how he came to adopt
literary career is sufficiently pictur-
esque. For some time he had picked
up a precarious livelihood by doing
Todd jobs" including such prosaic oc-
equations as that Of bootblack and
casual porter on the DUAL Marseilles.
One day he was engaged by gentle
man to carry to the railway station
heavy trunk. Arrived at the station,
there was an instant mutual recogni-.
ton. They were old college chums.
"What are you doing here?' asked his
friend. Carrying your trunk, I be-
iieve," said Jean. 'Why do you do
this?' Because must" "Where
do you live?" "Come and see," re-
piled Richepin.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling-a miserable room in
an attic in the poorest quarter Of the
town. Upon the table lay scattered
heaps Of manuscripts ean's incur
sions in the realms of poetry when
the more prosaic duties of the day
were over. Looking through them, his
friend was astounded at their quality.
''Why do you carry trunks and blacken
boots when you can do work like
this7'' he asked Richepin had never
given the matter thought. He had
never deemed these products of idle
hours worthy of publication. Pub
lished they were, however, in very
few weeks and created an immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Richepin never looked back.-West-
minister Gazette.
Each Got What He Wanted.
"A hunter set out one day to hunt,
and panther set out at the ssme time
to eat" said the lecturer.
81 must have fur oyercoat,' said
the hunter.
"'I,' said the panther, must have a
dinner
"Some hours later, in a lonely wood,
the panther and the hunter met.
"'Aha.' said the hunter gayly, level.
Ing his gun, here is my fur overcoat.'
"And he shot, but the panther, dodg-
Ing behind tree, escaped unhurt.
'.Then the panther rushed forth be-
fore the hunter could reload. u
Aha, here's my dinner said the
panther
"And he fell upon the hunter and de-
voured him.
"Thus each got what he wanted, the
hunter getting his fur overcoat and the
panther getting his dinner.

As It Looked to Him.

One of the ladies in fancy dress was,
though fair enough, trifle fat, and
we will not say that she did not look
well out of the thirties. And there
spake to her reporter:
MAY I ask what character you rep
resentT'
"Helen Of Troy" she answered
What did you think it wasp
WELL" he murmured, ungallantly
enough, as weights and measures con-
fused his brain and he gazed on her
ample proportions, II thought you
might be Helen Of Avoirdupois!'
