STRANGE
aalIuCinatIOn Of Mansfield
Man At Gallon
Gallon LEADER

lGallOn beaderD
Considerable excitement was caus.
ed at the city building yesterday af
ternoon when man was discovered
climbing over the transom OF the
mayors Office calling for his wife to
open the door.
An officer was called and when he
went into the room he found that the
man was stranger from Mansfield
by the name of Amos Allgire, who was
arrested last Sunday morning for be.
ing intoxicated and Monday morning
was fined S. and costs and locked I'D
again 10 wait until he had sobered up.
Allgire was released yesterday noon
and taken to Mansfield, as he was in
bad condition.
Tuesday night he talked all night
about his wife, whom he thought was
in Gallon and whom he wanted to take
back to Mansfield saying he could see
her lying in an alley and that it would
be necessary for him to get carriage
and drive back to Mansfield with her.
From his talk it would seem as II
he was deranged but at times he
would apparently be all right. The
mayor thought that he had better send
somebody with him to see that he got
home all right, SO he was sent to
Mpnafiald nm tho nnon car
At about o'clock he came back and
wanted to tell the mayor to ask if he
had sent his wife home or where she
was, as he did not find her at home.
He went up stairs at the city build
ing to the mayors Office and looking
through the door where the mail is
dropped in, he said he saw his wife
in there and called for her to open the
door and let him in and as no one
opened the door he climbed through
the transom and was walking around
the Office lighting matches and look
ing in every corner for his wife when
officer Fast arrested him.

Courtaut the Wolf.

Paris has forgotten the time when It
used to go In terror of the wolves
which carried of women and children
from the streets and even raided the
graveyards. At one time they became
so mad with desire for human flesh
that in a single week they devoured
fourteen persons, all between Mont
martre and the gate of st. Antoine.
On the vigil Of ST Martin (says Grace
James In Joan Of Arc') there was
hunted and taken a horrible wolf,
(which 1t was said had done more,
and more cruelty, than many others
put together. That day he was killed.
He had no tail, and from that he was
called Courtaut. There was as much
talk about him as IL he had been an
outlaw Of the woods or a cruel cap
tain, and when he lived folk said to
one another as they went forth to Ia
Dor in the fields. Look out for Cour-
taut' And on this day he was taken
through Paris in a cart, dead, with
his great jaws open, and all the peo-
pie went to see, and they made holi-
day and rejoiced, because Courtaut
could trouble them no more"

The Sanity of Paris.

The French live within their means
and by a sense of economy wholly I'm
known to us manage to save and re-
tire to enjoy whatever fortune has
stored up for them, says f. Berkeley
Smith in Success Magazine. To them
France is sufficient They voyage
rarely and gamble less. The spend
thrift or the man who plunges on the
bourse, the races and the gaming ia
BILE is regarded by the masses In the
light Of rogue and fool. The Pa
risians work hard enough for their
leisure, but they never eliminate 1t nor
allow their work to encroach upon
their traditional daily vacation, as
luncheon, the aperitif hour, dinner and
fete days. They work, not to amass
millions and die in harness, but to
save enough to give their daughter her
dot, without which she may never
marry; start their son In his chosen
trade and have enough income left to
retire before they are too old to enjoy
their freesoS,.
