Brand NeW Graft

Some time since, in a fremont
street store in Boston, a nervous
little Frenchman brushed against a
pretty trifie of vaseware valued at
about $14, and succeeded in get
ting several score more pieces out
of it than had gone into it's making.
The fioorwalker led the abashed
Partisan aside and politely explain
ed that the broken vase must be
paid for. Monsieur fetched a hand
full of small silver and copper,
mostly foreign, from his pocket
when he was told the value of the
trife.
Mon Dieu," cried the Partisan,
40 francs!" At this he took out
his billbook and discovered $50
express draft, which the floorwalk-
er instantly seized upon, to the un-
speakable horror of its owner.
After deducting the value of the
vase. the former handed the man
his change and dismissed him with
a fioorwalker's blessing. The ex-
press. draft reached the bank in
due time, with four others as
fraudulent, but the volatile little
Frenchmen had departed.

FARMERS GOING

Nov. 5.-Many inquiries received

and northwest indicate that the
state college winter school for
farmers, which begins the first
week of January, will be well at.

enrolled and up to the present time
more than $50. inquiries from pros

This year distinctly new phase
Of the work of this school will be
the use of textbooks, and the as
signment of lessons by the pro.
fessors in charge. Heretofore the
course has consisted mainly of lee
lures.
Prof. George Severance, head of
the department of agriculture, has
just completed an outline of the
courses for the school, which in

and farm management, bee keep.

TURNED WIFE AND
LOVER LOOSE

BAD AXE, Mich, Nov. 81 am
opening the door of this cell SO
that you may go out into the world
again. You can do what you
please" said Joseph Smith to his
wife, Alice. as he unlocked the
door that kept her in the county
Jail.
Il am glad to get out" said Mrs.
Smith. "but l love Charley and
will go with him"
Smith walked to another part of
the Jail and his wife followed. He
looked through the bars at his
brother, Charles Smith.
Il am going to let you out" he
said, as he unlocked the door,
Charles came out, but said nothing.
Mrs. Smith joined him and they
walked away together.
The dramatic Jail incident is the
climax of astrange story of love.
Charles was the womans first
sweetheart, but he Tilted her for
another. Then she married Joseph,
but when her sister in law died she
eloped with Charles. The couple
was arrested and placed in Jail.
Joseph now refuses to prosecute.
The sheriff said he did not want to
be the one to let him out, but that
if Joseph was determined he could
let them out himself. Then he
handed him the keys and the re-
lease came.
When he let his wife out Joseph
helped her on with her coat.
Joseph" she said, you have
been a good friend to me. If l
ever need a friend again l will
come to you"

,PUGLLSTS FEAR JONAH

Jack. johnson, WIFI is
4A$thed to fight Tommy Burns
never enters the ring before hiding
q rabbits foot in the colors he
wears around his waist. Joe Cans
always put lucky pocket silver
piece, which he won in his first
mill, in his belt just as climbed
through the ropes. Joe Walcott
once a giant killer, never failed to
have a miniature horseshoe tucked
away in his breechclout.
John l.. Sullivan in all of his bat.
ties wore a pair of green trunks,
in the belt of which was a talisman
which his mother gave to him
! when he first entered the profess
sional arena. Game Jack Dempsey
the Nonpareil, would not agree to
tackle the easiest kind of mark
unless he had on his famous black
tights, in which he won some 60
battles. But the tights lost their
magic charm the night that Fitz-
simmons knocked Dempsey out
and also broke his heart.
Charley Mitchell, the former
English champion, had a mortal
fear of meeting cross eyed
woman on the day or night of a
fistic encounter in which he en-
gagged. He always insisted that
such a woman meant sure defeat.
The night he was to meet Sullivan
for the second time in Madison
Square garden Mitchell met a
cross eyed, red haired woman in
Fifth avenue and almost collapsed.
He dashed around the corner at
top speed, crossing his fingers sew
eral times.
"She nailed me with her bad
eye" he walled, land I'm under a
bloomin' spell, I'm sure!"
Sullivan, as il turned out, was in
no condition to go to the garden
and there was no fight.
1T was that Internal cross eyed
woman that queered he whole
show" exclaimed Mitchell, as he
left the garden in disgust, for he
believed that he had John l.. out of

shape and was ready to beat the
,, big fellow down and out.
When Jack McAuliffe was light
weight champion he always wore a
F, pair of dark blue trunks. One
night they were partially burned
in a small fire at McAuliffe's home
and he was heartbroken. At last
he decided to have what was left
o fthe trunks made over into a new
pair, which he wore in his memoir
able battles with Jem Carney,
Young Critic and Billy Myer, the
Streator Cyclone.
Bob Fitzsimmons is a believer in
dreams. Long before he won the
championship from Corbett at Car
son City he predicted the victory.
He said he had a dream in which
he won decisively. Fitz has since
declared that he never won a fight
in his life without first having
lucky dream. F'itz also had what
he said was charm that protected
him from injury. 1t was the tip of
kangaroo's ear, and theCornish-
man wore it beneath his belt in all
of his ring battles.
There are a great many pugilists
