HIS NINE CHEESES.
An Old Time New England Story Of

Anecdotes in whi.l the mean and

to ridicule are popular every where and
always. Few ancient towns are with
out their historic or traditional in

concerning an unpopular parson OF

A BROKEN PANE OF GLASS.
One That Once Cost Citizen George
Francis Train $4,000.

A broken window pane once cost
George Francis Train more than $780,,
600. 1t was this way: Citizen Train,
with the brains of twenty men in his
head, all pulling different ways" went
to Omaha in the spring of 1864. At
that time he was the most talked of
man in America. He had not thing
but money. He bought 5000 city lots
and altogether spent several hundred
thousand dollars. He boarded at the
Herndon House, the best hotel in sight.
The quixotic Train was regular in only
one thing-his habits. He always oc-
cupied the same seat at the table. One
morning a pane of glass was broken
out of window directly behind his
chair. He protested and was advised
to change his seat. He would not. In
stead he paid a servant 10 cents min
ute to stand between him and the
draft. After breakfast he expostulated
with the landlord, but received no sat
isfaction.
"Never mind" said Train. 'In sixty
days 1 will build a hotel that will ruin
your business"
And he did. The contract was let
that day. Scores Of men were put to
work. The site selected was Ninth and
Harvey streets, near the Missouri riv-
er. Citizen Train went to New York
and engaged Colonel Cozzens, a noted
caterer Of that city, as manager for his
hotel.
The building alone cost $40, 900. The
furnishings cost $4,000 more. In the
basement was a gas plant, the only
one west of ST. Louis. The work was
done on time. and. true to his word.
sixty days after he threatened the man
ager of the Herndon House George

opened his hotel, which he called the
Cozzens House. The grand opening
ball was attended by the governor of
Nebraska and his staff. the mayor of
Omaha and many nota bles from other
states. The house was blaze of glory
and a scene of almost oriental magnifi
cence. Just when the big reception
was well on there was q sudden fash
a strange noise, and then-total dark.
ness! The gas plant had collapsed.
The Cozzens House did a dourishine
business for a year or two, and the
Herndon House was badly crippled
Finally Train fell out with his man
ager, and the place was closed.
After the business part of Omaha
moved back from the river the Hern
don House declined and finally re
lapsed into a state Of innocuous desue
| tude. A few years later it became the
property of the Union Pacific railroad.

Belief Of Negroes In Their Ability to

A we'll educated and clever negro in

In South Carolina a means employed
to guard against such visitations is to

her victim she must devour every

Situation in Marion County of
Great Consolation to DEM
ocrats, Who Expect Same
Conditions Elsewhere.
Especial Correspondence

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 21.-If the
betting boards in the capital city indi-
cate anything, Indiana is very much
In the doubtful list for the fall cleo
ton. A tour of the places where bet
ting boards are maintained showed
that there are no odds offered on any
thing but combination bets. Even bets
are posted that Taft will carry Indiana
but that Watson will not carry Marion
county. Another combination bet is
that Marshall will carry Marion coun-
ty, but lose the state. Another is
that Kern will run behind Marshall,
but will not carry the state. All these
bets are at even money. Few of them
have been taken and there seems to be
little interest in the offers. Straight
bets with odds are always more at
tractive than those of combination
sort but they are not yet in sight.
Marion county seems to be the ker-
mel that is hard to crack The recent
scandals in county affairs have un-
doubtedly hurt the republicans, but
when it is taken into consideration
that the county is normally republic
can, and that by from 1900 to 1000, it
is hard to see where the democratic
managers find all their comfort in a
situation that the republicans, are not
as party to blame. The republicans
have been even more insistent on the
prosecution of the rascals than the
democrats, who have held back quiet
ly hoping to reap political capital. Not
a bet has been posted bearing on the
outcome in the district, and there
seems little doubt of Overstreet's re-
election. Nor has single offer appear
ed with Bryan on the long end. In
fact, the offers do not show any inter-
est favorable to Bryan, at even money
or In combination bets. Only one i'm
preston is given by the betting
boards-that Indiana is looked upon
as doubtful, and all because of Marion
county. The republican managers are
working hard to poll the party's full
strength in the county, and with two
full months ahead, there seems ample
time to straighten things out. At any
rate, the democrats will know that
they have been in a fight if they
should succeed in carrying Marion
county.

Natures Cunning.

Protective mimicry, that cunning de-
vice of nature to preserve animals
from their enemies, is well known in
the eggs of certain fishes, notably the
California shark. known as Gyropleu-
rodus francisco. The shark is of a
sluggish habit. lurking among rocks.
and its dark egg resembles a leaf of
kelp or seaweed folded up spirally. 1t
is deposited among the beds of kelp
and clings to the leaves by the edges
of the spirals. The young shark bursts
open the end of the egg and swims
away. Another sharks egg of the Pa
cific coast has tentacles which clasp the
seaweed and also initiate it's appear

at this that he inserted the following
