pends the election of the congressman
from the Second district. John Mar
tin. Democrat. has n plurality OF about
2.1O0 over w. A. Haggott. Republican.
according to unofficial returns from
the district outside Of Ell Paso county
In forty-nine out of the sixty.one pre-.
cincts In this county McDonald's plu-
rality Is 1878. Estimating Haggott's
plurality here as the same as McDon-
aids. Haggott has to gain only about
222 votes to tie Martin In the district.
Ell Paso county's decreased Republi-
can plurality this year is due to the
fact that hundreds Of Republicans. in
their anxiety to scratch for the local
Independent ticket, which had no ma
tional or state ticket, forgot to write
the word Republican at the top Of their
ballots. thus losing their votes for Taft
and Mcdonald.

In the suit, which was prosecuted by
James c. McReynolds and Edwin p.

legal combination as charged. Judges
Lacombc. Coke and Noyes in their
opinion say that injunctions should
issue against all the defendants eX-
cept the United Cigar Stores Company

A Bad Guess.

John Hawtrey was one Of England's
famous whipping schoolmasters. At
Elton In autumn the small boys used
TO buy chestnuts and roast them In a
shovel over the fire. One day a boy
named f., who was great favorite of
Hawtrey's, had lot Of chestnuts and
as a special favor was allowed to make
use Of the pupil room fire while the
boys were all studying. Hawtrey was
going n and out of the room while
we were working, and on one occasion.
coming In rather quietly, he caught
sight of #. kneeling over the fire ar
ranging his chestnuts. The boys posi-
t1on was irresistible to any lover of the
art Of chastlsement. Not seeing his
face and supposing II was one OF the
other boys stealing the chestnuts, John
Hawtrey quietly took his cane from
his desk and. creeping forward on tip
toe, gave the wretched r. a most ire
mendous whack. The boy jumped up
with yell. his hands clapped behind
him. Then the tutor saw who he was
and said, embracing him:
"Oh, my poor boy! / am SO sorry!
I thought II was another boy stealing
your chestnuts."
We, Of course, were all delighted and
reared with laughter.-London Graphic.

pan.on and tn. Organ Grinders.

Paris has more than once made war
on organ grinders. There, as here, they
hare their enemies and also their
champions. The war, however, Is an
old one, and politicians had time to at
tend to 1t even at the height OF the
revolution.
No less a man than Danton then took
the part Of the musicians
Citizens" he cried from the tribunal,
IL hear that an attempt In being made
to prevent the organ grinders Of Bar
barry from playing their tunes az usual.
Do you think, then, that the streets Of
Paris are too gay? Have the people Of
Paris too many songs on their lips?
One after another our liberties are be-
ing wrested from US. Leave us at
least the liberty of listening to the or
gans of Barbary, OF hearing from them
our favorite songs and refralns."
Danton was guillotined for reasons
with which this speech had nothing to
do. but the grafton containing these
sentiments was the last that he had
the opportunity Of delivering as a
member Of the convention. Westmin-
