He went out hunting alone the 9TH

enough to shoot u fine mountain
sheep. The animal fell into deep
abyss and the king was just contem-
plating climbing down and rescuing
his trophy when a peasant boy came
up, Offering to do 1t for him.
How much?" queried his majesty,
who suspected that he might have
been recognized and would be held
up for a large ransom.
"One lire (20c.) and half Of your
breakfast"
The king assented. and after la
borious three-quarters Of an hour the
lad returned with his load, but before
putting II down held out his hand for
the coin.
Now, breakfast" he said.
The king opened fancy hunting
bag, which he carried on strap hang
ing from his shoulder, and took out
loaf of black bread, a big onion, a
few chunks OF garlic and half bot
tie OF red wine.
AS the nature Of the breakfast dis
closed itself the boy eyed the king
suspiciously, making no attempt to

robbed IL being photographed In a
watermelon patch. What IL most HUI
initiating to four young members Of
prominent families In Stephenson
county Is that they made the picture
themselves. The posture they assumed
at the time cost them $3.50 when the
plates were developed and when the
case was taken Through the courts.
The young men are said TO have
made a successful sortie on a farmers
melon patch and while they squatted
amid the ruins" one of their number
photographed the others. The plates
were sent to q local photographer for
development. Unfortunately the boys
did not remember that the particular
photographer was a son-in-law OF the
farmer who owned the melon patch.
The photographer not only recog.
nized his father-in-law's melon patch,
but he saw the wanton waste or a
particular melon which on his last
visit he had marked for his own. The
case was taken through the courts
and the boys forced to pay.

Pathetic Little Conspiracy.

LOUISVILLE. Nov. 12.-News OF
the tragic death Of Harvey W. Wat
terson first came to friends Of the
father, Henry Watterson, editor of
the Courier-Journal, and they immed-
lately formed a pathetic little conspir-
acy to break the news to the editor as
gently as possible. Telephone COM
munication with his country home, IA
miles from the city, was Immediately
stopped. The coterie OF friends de-
puted to Mrs Benjamin Ridgely, widow
of former consul-general to Mexico,
the difficult task of telling the father.
Mrs. Ridgely. suddenly bereaved a
few weeks ago of the husband who
had been Mr.. Watterson's protege and
intimate friend, accomplished her mis-
sion In the best manner possible; and
the editor is sitting at his home be-
numbed by grief, while hundreds OF
kilograms from men OF national prom
inence already are pouring In Offering
coincidence and sympathy.

re-enlist will receive all pay and al

The bill offered by Mr.. Warner was
not approved by the Military Affairs
Committee and referred for consid-

Democratic Senators will not sup.
port the Warner bill. They take the
position that the negroes did the
shooting and were properly dismiss

permitted to again enter the service.
In fact, q large proportion Of the
Democrats would favor legislation
