'as a father He stopped abruptly
and shot a fierce glance at Jimmy edg-
ing toward the outer door. Then he
went on with a return of the friendly
smile with which he had greeted her:
Il believe you will have no further
trouble with Jimmy, Miss began /
will take him in hand. lie Shall not
cause you any more trouble | am
sorry he has distressed you. 1t must
be rather 4 task to keep these young
imps in order"
From his tail height ne looked down
on her in such genial good nature that
Anna Degar found herself liking Al
derman Mullin very much indeed.
"Thank you so much, Mr.. Mullin," she
said gratefully. Il was afraid to come
to you at first because"- She paused
in embarrassment and turned to the
door.
Mr.. Mullins eyes twinkled. Alder
man Mullins bark is worse than his
bite" he said dryly as he opened the
outer door and accompanied her to the
elevator.
At the farther end OF the corridor
James, the uuruly, was engaged in a
silent furious wrestling match with she
office boy. At Mr.. Mullins sharp whis-
tie they disentangled themselves and
approached.
1t was then that Mr.. Mullin grippe1
one of Jimmy's generous ears and SO
led him, walking stitily, into the inner
office and closed the door
In the long ride uptown Anna Degan
tried to forget the interview with AL
derman Mullin. 1t had turned out
much better than she had expected,
and yet there had seemed an instant
when he was about to refuse to take
any part IN the discipline of his own
and only son. She had been surprised
TO find lie father of James such II
young arI amabie looking man. She
had heard such stories Of his fiery,
dominant nature she had hesitatcd to
bring complaint before him. She
had feared for the boy-Jimmy had
always spoken in tones Of almost ter
ror Of his father-and yet
She gave up the problem and tried
to think of the pleasure that awaited
her that evening. 1t was the 18th of
March-St. Patrick's day-and she was
going to the big ball Of the Loyal En-
erald Knights. Mr.. Mullin had worn
sprig of shamrock in the lapel of his
we'll fitting coat. Anna blushed redly
and remembered with a certain fierce
axultation the day that Jimmy's moth
er, Mrs. Alderman Mullin," had visit
ed the school The recollection of her
rubicund face and good natured and
voluble flow of conversation quite drove
away the picture Of Jimmy's good look
ing father. After that she thought of
nothing save the ball.
The orchestra was playing The

ballroom with her sister and brother
in-law ana her littla foot beat time

pdted delight.
Her gown was a triumph of tender
love for the mother country and affec-

When Venice was mistress of the
maritime world she attracted many
young men desirous of profiting by her
commercial advantages. Among them
was one Giuseppe Pessero, who went
there from Rome. Pessero was of
good family and had been intimate
with the Borgias, the Farnese and
other great families at a time when
the Italians were very skillful in get
ting rid of those who stood in their
way by means of poison.
One afternoon, while being pulled in
gondola from st. Marks down to-
ward the Rialto, Pessero passed n barge
in which sat vision of lovelincss.
Giovanni" exclaimed Pesscro when
the two boats had passed. 'Who is
that LADY,"
That, signor," replied the gondolier,
sis Signorina Francesca del Prombo."
Turn, Giovanni-turn at once and
follow"
The gondola was swung around and
pulled to Il flight Of steps leading to
the square of st. Marks. The lady
had embarked and entered the square
when Pesscro's gondola drew up to
the steps. In a few minutes he saw
the Signorina Francesca join Il party of
gentlemen ana ladies who were sit
ting idly, some reading, some playing
on lutes, others chatting. Pessero, see
ing one among them he knew, spoke to
him and was introduced to the group.
But 1t was Francesca that he want
ed. Selling the earliest opportunity,
he devoted himself to her, though
without encouragement. Francesca
was betrothed to Luigi Sansovino, one
of her own rank and high IN favor
with the doge. Disregarding this, Pes
sero persisted in his attentions and
after an acquaintance of a few weeks
made bold to ask for Signorina del
PrombO's hand. 1t is needless to say
that his suit was rejected.
That was a far different age from
this. While the people had attained a
certain refinement, they seemed still
to retain the traits of their barba-
rian ancestors. 1t was not an uncom-
mon thing for man rejected by a
woman TO revenge himself upon her.

Cuba's New Stamps.

Stamp collectors will probably be
interested in the new issue of Cuban
postage and revenue stamps which
have been printed In New York city.
The Cuban government has discarded
the old design that has been used for
several years and has substituted the
portraits Of the men who distinguished
themselves in the military service of
the country. The stamps range in de.
nomination from l cent to 81.

said that during the coming summer
he and Captain Robert Bartlett will

The White Shark.


The shark of sharks, the real imam
eater" and the one most dreaded, is
the white shark. This variety reaches
Il length of thirtyfive feet and
weight of 1000 pounds. Its head is
long and nat, and the snout far over
hangs the mouth. Its six rows of teeth
are sharp as lancets and notched like
saws. Its mouth Is very large, so that
one has been known to cut mans
body completely in two at single
snap of It's cruel jaws and another to
swallow one at gulp. Near Calcutta
one Of these sharks was seen to swal-
low bullock's head, horns and ell.
From the stomach OF another a bulls
hide was taken entire, and the sailor
who made the discovery insisted that
the bull had been swallowed whole
and all except the hide had been di-
gested. From the stomach Of another
was taken lady's workbox filed with
the usual contents, scissors and all. 1t
Is commonly the white shark which
follows the vessel at sea day after day
and week af,cr week.

James Mulin, you may remain after

long ruler mt the ireckcd faced boy.
Jimmy smiled scornfully and threw
another paper wad at the back of his
btterest foe and settled down in his
seat
Get your hat and coat James. l

Perhaps you will explain to him why
you cannot obey me-"
When Anna Degan reached Mr.. Null
Inns office she confronted a tall, hand.
some man with black eyes much like
Jimmy's own, who looked down upon
the two visitors with a friendly smile.
"Sit down." he said, bringing for
ward a chair.

Mr.. Mullins fine eyes widened with
unconceaIed surprise. "WeIl, really"

for Jimmy's behavior"
Anna arose with sparkling eyes and
cheeks flushed with Indignation. "Oh.
do not say that Mr.. Mullin! How can
you, father, rcpudiatc any RESPONSE
bility for your sons conduct?
Mr.. Mullin seemed to lind unusual
interest in the lovely face framed in
its mist of dusky hair. He seemed re-
luctant to terminate the interview by
any definite answer.
"Then you refuse to Interfere, Mr.
MullinY" Miss Degan's voice was
naughty now, and her red lip curled
with contempt. AS n father she
paused suggestively.
Mr.. Mullin seemed to awaken to new
life. LAS a father" he said vaguely

VOTING TODAY IN
parliamentary
ELECTION
Bitter Campaign Came to a
Close Last Night
ARISTOCRATS VS.. DEMOCaATS
Limitation of Power of Peers Over
shadows All other Demands of
Liberals

London. Jan. l5.-The conflict that
opens the ballot boxes today for the
first general election since 1906, is a
death struggle between the two great
political parties in the field-the arts
tocrats and democrats.
The campaign closed last night. II
has been fought on an issue entirely
novel to the people of these times,
and it has been fought with an inten-
sity of conviction, energy and bitter
ness unparalleled in Great Britain In
the present generation
The vote to protect the vote, is
the exhortation addressed to the peo-
pie tonight bp the leading Liberal or
gan and it then portrays how the con
/ Aict presents itself to the Liberals,
On the opposing side is ranged every
possible influence in support of the
privileged classes.
The two outstanding features OF
/ the campaign have been the determi-
I nation of the Liberals to concentrate
the attention of the people on the
constitutional struggle involved in
the attempt of the Peers to control
the public purse and the quick reali-
cation by the Conservatives that the
rejection of the budget had been a
mistake
The campaign has been notable fol-
the enormous use of picture posters
and similar devices The tariff re-
formers even opened shops in differ
ent districts in order to display sam
pies of foreign imports dumped in
to England. This led to amusing in
cidents-the discovery in one case
that an alleged American chair really
had been made in London.

Los Angeles, Jan l5.-Louis Paul

the cheers of 10000 spectators on Az

of twenty miles TO the sea and re-
turn. This was the feature of the
fifth day of the meet,
He sailed fifteen miles as the crow
flies. As he drew near Wilmington,
Long Beach and San Pedro HaIbor
he was greeted with roar of whis-
ties from craft in the harbor. He
sailed above the wireless telegraph
mast at the harbor entrance and then
flew back to Los Angeles. AS he APP
peared over the aviation field again
he was Justify welcomed.
Soon after o'clock Curtiss started
the official events by trying to set a
new speed record for the course of
a mile and a half His first attempt
was 2:24 10. About this time Paul
han distracted attention bp his San
Pedro flight When things had set
tied down again Curtiss made a new
trial He cut the time to 2.30 SO
Not satisfied with this, he made an
other attempt and set a mark OF Z

HAD BEEN ON FOR A YEAR
E. G. Sales, Texas Spectator, Re

Profits Of 100000
HAD BEEN ON FOR A YEAR

New York, Jan. l5.-The big bull
campaign in cotton definitely collap-
sed yesterday with the most spectac-
ular perpendicular decline seen in a
week of erratic recessions. Reports
freely circulated in the trade after
the close of the market had the pos
ition of the leading Southern bulls
completely undermined by the con
tinued liquidation which has been in
progress since early in the year
At the low point New York con-
tracts showed a decline of from $500
TO $3.50 a bale from the closing pri-
ces of the night previous, which was
a break of from $500 to $3.50 from
the high figures of the day and of
Sl3.35 to SI425 bale from the high
point of the season. Many contracts
touched $1370 late in the afternoon.
The bull market had lasted for over
a year. At. the height of the cam
paign il was estimated that t. G.
Scales of Texas, the leader had ac-
cumulated paper profits of $l0,000,000
for the season His heaviest hold
ings were in May Cotton and he and
his friends were generally believed at
one time to control contracts calling
for the delivery Of fully one million
bales during that month.

GRANITE PLANTS
WILL BE OPEN
ON MONDAY
Lockout in Big Industry Ras
Been Declared Off
NO SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT
Employers are Ready to Resume but
Workmen Demand an Increase
in Pay

Montpelier Jan. 15.--If the union
men among the 5000 granite cutters
of Washington county desire to go
back to work next Monday they may
do so, for the Granite Manufacturers
association yesterday morning decid-
ed to call the lockout off and open
the stone sheds and Quarries the first
day of next week Notices Of the de-
cision have been sent out to Water
bury, Barre, Montpelier, Mortified,
Winiamstown, and East Barre. Only
union men will be allowed to return.
This action on the part of the man
ufacturers takes away from the dis
pute its two sided aspect and the
whole question of whether work shall
be resumed is put up to the granite
cutters The manufacturers have
made the same offer in regard to the
use of the bumper that was made
TO the Mortified branch at the begin
ming Of the trouble. The Barre cut
ters, since that time, have asked for
an increase in pay but this demand
was not considered by the manufac-
turers when it was decided to open
the works to the union men.
The general feeling here is that the
/ outlook for the end Of the strike is
not very promising and it is believed
I that ii what is expected happens and
/ the strikers do not return to work
/ the trouble will have entered upon
a new phase and its end will be made
more remote

FUNERAL OF Il. S. ouNHAM
Large Attendance of Relatives and
Friends at Service.

Friends at Service.
A very large number of friends and
relatives attended the funeral of
Herbert S. Dunnam held at his late
home on Wednesday afternoon.
When the news of Mr. Dunham's sud
den death was received on Monday it
was a great shock to all He had at
tended church twice on Sunday and
sang in the choir Sunday evening.
His pastor Rev. l.. A. Cooney of
the Baptist church conducted the
funeral services, speaking from the
words of Paul For me to live is
Christ, and to die is gain" A former
pastor, Rev r. b. Tozer, was also
present and both spoke tenderly of
their great regard for Mr.. Durham.
He was a man of strong christian
character, always faithful to the
church and ready to help in work for
the Master. A man of calm decided
Judgment. Just in the prime of life
it was hard to understand why he
should have been taken He had
watched over loved ones through
weeks and months of pain-but in
his own going away he had been
spared all suffering. He would be
missed as a business man from the
community He would be missed
from his accustomed places in the
church-and more than all he would
be missed in the home where he fill
ed so large place, the mother hav-
ing been taken before.
1t was a calm peaceful face to look
upon and remember as he lay with
the casket covered and surrounded
with beautiful flowers from his chill
dren, from the church, from the
school and from brothers, sisters and
friends The interment was in the
family lot in the cemetery on the
hill.
