Piece OF Furniture That Pennsylvania
Paid $4,000 For.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 2S.-The
commonwealth in the state conspiracy
trial today called additional experts
to show that the prices charged by
Contractor J. H. Sanderson for the
furniture of the capitol were greatly
in excess of the actual value of "spec-
tally designed furniture
Charles A. Johns of Milwaukee,
who has furnished many public build
ings testified as to his opinion of the
actual cash value of articles of furni-
ture in all parts of the capitol. In
all instances it was much less than
paid by the state. A division in the
ante-room of the senate which cost
the state $4,000, Johns said was worth
but S270. i
Charles r. Retting, a manufacturer
of furniture of Grand Rapids, Mich,
testified that the throne chair" for
the speaker of the house which cost
the state $761, was worth 5000, a
sofa which cost the state $3.50 was
worth $500, a clothes tree for which
the state paid $27.40 was worth s12.
A small window seat for which
Sanderson was paid 1921 was
worth 500.
Frank E. Smith, Of Philadelphia, q
representative of a desk company. also
testified His concern supplied 1871
tables to Sanderson for the capitol.
Smith said the cash value of an OBJ

He Gave Her a Present.

When was IA young man Lady Jer-
sey Was one of the leaders Of fashion,
and her house was the resort Of poll
ticians and others. With her lived her
daughter. Lady Clementine Villiers, a
handsome and clever girl. The custom
had been established that all friends
should give the latter a present on her
birthday. and these presents were set
out in an antechamber. Among these
friends was Lord Brougham, then an
old man. He called on a birthday, but
had forgotten what the occasion was,
and had brought no present. Seeing a
mass of presents laid out, he seized one
OF them and took it in as his present,
rightly counting that the young lady
would not remember that it was one
that already had been given to her.
And very proud he was of his pres
ence Of mind. But. then, he was an

Riding a Camel In the Desert,

that his dearest wish was to ride across
the desert on the back of a camel. He
thought such a ride must be very poet.

"My dear young friend" replied the
explorer. II can tell you how you can

camel on the deserts Of Africa is like.
Take an Office stool. screw it up as
high as possible and put it in a wagon
without any springs. Then seat your
elf on the stool and have it driven
over rocky and uneven ground during

Vote On Governor Is Close,

HELENA, Nov. 4.-Vice Chairman
Nolan of the democratic central COM
mittee stated this evening that the
committee claimed Norris would car
ry the state by 1000, and would pos.
sibly elect Tolan, Goodwin and Swim.
dlehurst. He comedies the carrying
of the state by Taft and the election of
Pray.
Twenty thousand votes are yet to be
accounted for in Montana, according
to the calculations of the republican
central committee. The latest returns
received in Helena give Taft, Norris
and Pray the state. The republicans
declare every man on their state tic
ket. except Donlan, is elected by ma.
j~orities ranging from 1850 to $500,
and they do not concede the election
OF Governor Norris, declaring that
the outstanding vote is almost wholly
from republican counties, and that it
will be sufficient to elect Donlan by a
narrow margin.
BUTTE, November 4 -Advices from
throughout Montana indicate that
Iatt has carried the state by a ma
jori;y close to 5000. Charles N. Pray
Of Fort Benton is reelected to con-
greas by about 1000, and the figure
will probably be increased, The gov
ernorship is still in doubt, with Don
Ian running about 1000 behind Nor
ris, with the chances of the latter's
lead being reduced by votes from nor-
mally republican counties, but Sec
tions of the state SO sparsely settled
as to make the odds in favor of the
election of Norris.
Missoula county, the home of Don
Ian, gave him a majority of about
300. which is much less than had been
figured on by the republicans, and
Silver Bow county, the democratic
stronghold in the state, instead of
giving Norris 1900 or 5000, as ex.
pected, gave him only 1000.
