FINED A FRANC.
What That Meant to an American Who
Was Living In Paris.

Was Living In Paris.
When you are fined a franc in Paris
It means that you pay II francs 10
centimes. or just over half a sovereign.
This is the only conclusion to which
one can come after reading the curl
GUS experience of an American citizen
who is staying in Paris to complete
the education of his sons. He lives in
an apartment pear the Arc de Tri-
Omphe, and the other morning one OF
his servants committed the impru-
dence of shaking carpet out of the
window after 8 o'clock A lynx eyed
constable saw her and Immediately
climbed the stairs. rang the bell, en-
tered the apartment and drew up a
summons against the tenant The
American was called and gave his
name.
II did not know it was breach Of
the law" he said. But as l have
broken it I must pay. How much is
it,"
You will be fined 1 franc" replied
the policeman.
There you are" answered the
American. and he held out the coin.
But the agent" refused to take it.
Later on" he remarked as he with
drew, you will be summoned before
the justice o>S e peace"
Some days later the delinquent was
invited to appear before the "juge de
pai1" and obeyed the summons. He
was obliged to wait three hours in an
antechanber. Then he was admitted.
DO you admit" asked the magis-
trate, having broken the law"
u do" was the reply.
Good. You are fined franc
There you are. then" And the
American again held out the franc.
But the magistrate would have none
of it.
You will pay the sum later. You
will be advised when. You may with

The American took his departure,
considerably surprised at so many for
malities in connection with a franc
fine. A few days later he received a
| stamped paper inviting him to pay,
first Of all, 1 franc. the amount of his
fine. plus % centimes. the amount OF

! police court he remarked:
In America a law which forced a

Dane Was Again the Terrible
Fighter of Old and Could
Not Be Stopped.
BATTLE WENT II ROUNDS.
CANS WAS FLoORED SEVERAL
TIMES BUT 1T WAS NOT UNTIL
THE 18TH THAT HE FELL FOR
THE COUNT.

San Francisco, July 4.-Battling
Nelson knocked out Joe Cans in the
seventeenth round here this afternoon
before an enormous crowd which went
wild with frenzy when the lightweight
championship changed hands. Nelson
was the old Durable Dane and gave
Cans fearful beating. The end was
clearly in sight after the twelfth
round. In that session Nelson flOored
Cans twice and the negro was fioored
several times after that, his cleverness
alone saving him that long For a
time the weather was very threaten
ing. 4 fog rolled in over the ocean
and enveloped the pavilion, but later
In the day the sun came out and when
the fighters entered the ring there
was cloudess sky. Twenty women
were scattered about the ring side and
lent color TO the assemblage. There
was not a vacant seat in the great
amphitheatre, the spectators being
banked about the walls. 1t was an
nounced by the club managers that
there was over 100000 in the house.
It was an enthusiastic crowd, which
cheered every move.
The men were weighed in their
dressing rooms to save time. The
scales were set at 1873 pounds. Meth
er of them budged the beam. 1t was
announced that both were close to the
1872 pound mark.
The ringside betting was 10 to
with Cans on the long end, No Mel
son money was in sight. Tex Rick
ard of Goldfeld, and Eli and Jim May
of Reno, New, we'll known both as
mining men and sports, INDUCED in
some lively betting at the ringside.
Richard bet $4,000 with May at even
money, that Cans would win within
twenty rounds, $4,000 to $4,000 that
Cans would win fight, and $4,000 even
Cans would win in fifteen rounds.

Mole Superstitions.

According to tradition, if you have a
mole on your chin you may expect to
be wealthy. while If you have it I'M
der your arm it promises you wealth
and honor as well. A mole on the
ankle indicates courage. On the left
temple a mole indicates that you will
find friends among the great oneS of
the earth, but if it be placed on the
right temple it warns you Of coming
distress. mole on mans knee
means that he may expect to marry a
rich woman. 4 mole on the neck
promises wealth. If you have mole
on your nose you are going to be a
great traveller. 4 mole on the throat
indicates health and wealth.

Great American Circus Will Be Here

The Phoenix Republican has the following to say regarding the Great American Circus which will exhibit in Williams Thursday, April 23rd:
 The Great American circus reach ed Phoenix yesterday and ia now holding forth at the corner of Fifth street and Washington, better known as the carnival grounds. The Great American circus ie a blending of the old fashioned with he new and up to-date. IL is not the largest circus in the world by some several tents and rigs and some hundreds of people but it claims to give just as much for the money because all that it gives an be enjoyed by the patron and there is lack of that maze of stuff hat confuses 90 the visitor cannot zee half that is going on.
 The Great American circus is a ! one ring show but there is some ] thing doing all the time in that ring. There is a jolly mixing of acrnbatics, trained animals, mid-a air performances, comedy and general nilarity.
 The program includes fifteen inc acts, presented one at a time 90 all may see. There are trained logs. a talking pony, trained goats md trained monkeys. (besides the clowns) and of these there is a Iuintette which guarantees to make the people laugh or give their money back. There are hand balancers. contortionists, wire workers. horizontal bars, triple trapeze performers, etc.
 The circus boasts of it's quality rather than it's size, but it is never theless of creditable magnitude for one ring aggregation. There was pleasing performances yes- terday afternoon and again last night, and there will be two per- formances today, afternoon and evening.
