the Big Cat. IS
A vivid pen picture of fight be-

"One afternoon" the hunter relates.
Il was resting on the shady side of
big rock which formed the bank of
small stream. On the opposite side
troop of balloons came down chatter

seeming around for danger. remain

"A deep grunt assured the herd that
all was well, and down the steep slope
they came, last of all a female with
two young, which the mother tenderly
helped over the rough places. Sudden

a bowlder and with one blow of his
paw grabbed one of the young.
''The mother, with a roar of fury,
threw herself upon the big cat. The

clambered back to her assistance. The
leopard had just settled the female and
was about to make off with his prey

The Donkey's Choice.

The vexed question of the future
life of animals has troubled the Mo-
hammedan, as it has other religions.
The question, it seems, was considered
by Allah a long time ago, and all the
animals were asked if they wished to
enter paradise. They at once said
yes, except the donkeys. These were
cautious and asked if little boys went
to heaven. The answer being yes.
they replied, ''In that case we prefer
to go to-the other place" S. II. Lee
der vouches for the fable in "The
Desert Gateway"

Two SpaniardS were conversing ear

The young American woman who pass

STRANGE Storehouses

In the old birds nests that are placed
near the ground in shrubs and small
trees close to hazelnut bushes and bit
tersWeet vines one will often find
a handful of haZelnuts or bittersweet
berries. They were put there by the
white footed mice and the meadow
mice, which visit these storehouses reg
ularly. Very often a white footed
mouse will cover a birds nest with
fine. dried grass and inner bark and
make 4 nest for itself.-New York

MURDER CONVICTION
0UASHED IN LONDON

London, Oct. 26:-For the first
time In the history Of the English
judiciary q conviction for murder
has been quashed by the court OF
criminal appeals, the prisoner, the
date OF whose execution had been
fixed, being released. Magistrates Of
all ranks are now urging members
of Parliament to 50 amend the law
that the court OF criminal appeals
may order a new trial In such cases.
AS the law stands, the appeal court
has no option but to let the pris
oner go.
Charles Ellison, a laborer, Was
charged with numbering Rose Rem
der, his sweetheart. lie attempted
an Alibi, but the jury rejected the
theory. The chief witness against
Ellison was q man named Fletcher,
who made two statements, the sec
ond an elaboration Of the first. In
the trial at Old Bailey, these two
statements were treated as one. and
the appeal court held that the Judge
at Old Bailey in his charge to the
jury had given 1t the impression
that there was but n statement,
whereas the first statement was not
put in evidence at all and counsel
for the defense had not seen it.
On this ground the appeal was
made and upheld. The court OF APP
peals In rendering its decision made
It plain that it thought the guilt
Of Ellison had been proved; never
theless a technical error had been
made and there was nothing To do
but let the prisoner go.

HUDSON COUNTY LOOKS
THIS YEAR
fFrom the NEWS Correspondent.

N II I'M ~ ~ v - LH
Trenton, Oct. 26:-Reports of the
political situation in Hudson county
that come to the State House are
not altogether encouraging for the
| Democrats, at least as far as results
in Jersey City are concerned. 1t
seems to be the general belief that
Hudson county Will surely elect a
Democratic legislative delegation,
but when it comes down to forecast
ing the result of she s%hrievalty fight
there is a strong feeling even among
Democrats that former mayor Mark
M. Pagan will be chosen to that
office.
Mr.. Pagan Is the Republican candi-
date against N. Peter Wedin, who
against a field Of five other candi-
dates In the direct primaries. Since
the primaries, however, serious
charges in connection with the draw
ing ofa petit jury by Mr.. Wedin as
an un~der-sheriff have been made.
The former mayor has been a strong
vote-getter in Hudson county and he
Is making d very vigorous campaign
for election as sheriff,
When III. Otto Wittpenn captured
the reelection for mayor OF Jersey
City against Mark Sullivan, it was
c~alculated that he would have a
waIk-ever In the election. AS the
campaign has progressed; however,
Andrew Knox, his Republican oppo-
nent, has developed unexpected
strength and many Hudson county
Democrats who have been at the
State House during the last week are
dubious rs to the likelihood OF Mayor
Wittpenn being able to wing a third
term.

.SEC'Y. OF STATE
MiddIesex Senator'S Visit to
State House Caused Gossip.

Trenton. Oct. Ex-senator George
s.. Silzer, Of Middlesex county, was
among the callers at the State House
this week and his appearance was
responsible for much talk to the eff
feet that ne was to be the next sec
Rotary OF state.
The terra of the present incumb-
ent, Col. Samuel D. Dickinson, ex-
ipires In April of 1912, and while
there have Been several m sug-
gested as likely successors Senator
Silzer seems a logical selection by
Governor Wilson.
The place is one Of much honor
land, as the politicians said yester-
day there is hardly q man in the
state who would refuse it. David s.
Crater OF Monmouth, has been men
ltioned and continues to be favorably
spoken Of. There Is hardly any
doubt but that Senator Silzer and
Mr.. Crater are the two most likely
names yet suggested.
Senator Silzer Is one of the old
members OF the Senate and has the
advantage over Mr.. Crater of being
connected with everything that Gov
ernor Wilson has accomplished In
the way Of having reform legislation
passed. For a number ef years
Senator Silzer has been one Of the
few minority Senator's who vigorous
~ opposed the way OF the Republic
cans, no matter how great the odds
against him. When Governor Will
son became the executive, Senator
Silzer was one Of the most ardent
advocates for the. passage OF his
measures and for this reason his
choice BY the Governor would not
be surprising.
