saerIIeqIous Cat.

The Chinese world of Philadelphia
Is searching for a large Maltese cat
which had the temerity the other day
to steal a nice chicken which had
been placed before the sacred joss.
There was almost riot when the
guardian Of the joss discovered the
loss but this turned to dismay later.
when the cat was seen crawling over
the roof adjoining the joss house with
a good portion of the chicken in her
mouth. There was a chase, but the
cat was too nimble. Now the joss
must go hungry.

A rustic English saying runs
Here's to the poor man. May his
beef and beer keep on increasing year
by year. May his dear little wife be
the joy Of his life and NJ or kick up
a racket. May She do al she can to
please her old man and mend up his
old ragged jacket" Better still is this
version Here's to the loaf that
never crumbles; here's to the wife
that never grumbles; here's to the
horse that never stumbles." To which
one might be tempted to add: Here's
to hope"

Music and MascuIInity.

Music as an art has little standing
in Japan, according to a letter in the
crgrcnt issue of the Travellers Ga
zatte. It is left almost entirely to
yemen, who cultivate it to the extent
OF playing on a guitarlike instrument
called the samisen. 'In the not very
remote past" says the writer, mo
gentleman could reconcile the practice
of music with masculine dignity, and
this state of affairs is changing but
slowly"

The inhabitants of Fontainebleau
are protesting against some Of the
uses to which the picturesque forest,
with its huge volcanic boulders, is be-
ing put by some of the clnemato-
graphic companies. There was lion
hunt with real lion in the forest of
Fontainebleau a few days ago, and
the people who live in the neighbor-
hood think that freedom in trade mat
ters is being pushed somewhat too far.

Brutality Of the Crusaders.

Few cities are said to have been be-
sieged and taken so many times as
Constantinople. Since the middle of
the sixth century it has undergone 20
sieges and has been captured eight
times. But its worst experience was
in 1904, wh,I 1t was captured by the
Crusaders. The city was given up to
pillage, and the socaled Christian
warriors are said to have acted more
barbarously than Turkish invaders
have ever done.

No woman should have poor, thin,
sCraggy hair and no man need become
bald. Poor hair and final badness are
due to the dandruff which an Occa-
sional application of Newbro's Her
piCide will destroy.
BY killing the germ and checking
the accumulation of dandruff, Herpi-
eide gives health to the hair and scalp
and prevents the hair from Coming out
Convincing evidence OF the value of
this we'll known scalp pTophylactic is
furnished in a letter recently received
from Mrs. F. Nielsen of Tomah, Wis.
She says: 81 fought the worst kind of

NOLAN Is TO BE PLACED
ON TRIAL COMING WEEK

New Lork, sept. 11.-Harry E. No
Ian of Chicago is under $500 bail for
appearance in court Sept II to plead
to the charge of abduction.
Nolan, who recently was appointed
as secretary to the United States Ie-
cation at Panama, is accused of hav-
ing induced 16-year-oId Marion Nc
Wicker of Newport News, Va, to
leave a steamer and come to a New
York hotel with him. She was on her
way to Scotland, where her father is
d well-to-do innkeeper.
At the Tombs court yesterday Sum
Lei Gerard, who had furnished the
cash bail, appeared for Nolan and ask
ed for a postponement of the arraign-
ment for two weeks and continual
ton of the $1,000 bail. The court al
lowed a postponement of one week,
but before fixing the amount of bail
ordered the assistant district attorney
to prepare a formal complaint.
While the complaint was being
drafted Gerard left the courtroom, TAX
ing with him Nolan, who had been
waiting in the corridor outside. Ten
minutes later the assistant district at
torney appeared with the complaint
and a search was made for Nolan and
Gerard. Not finding either, the court
ordered the cash bail forfeited and
fixed the amount of the bond for no
lan's appearance Sept. Il at $4,000
An hour after Nolan's bail had been
declared forfeited, two detectives, who
were sent TO find him, came back and
told Magistrate Murphy that they had
found Nolan in Gerard's Office.
We'll, where is he?" demanded the
court.
why, Mr. Gerard said the case had
been put over a week and the same
bail continued" one Of the detectives
replied.
Get out and arrest Nolan on sight, "
ordered the magistrate. and bring him
before me this afternoon"
Nolan was arrested yesterday after
noon In the office of his lawyer ana
arraigned. He told the court that he
had misunderstood the proceedings.
The magistrate revoked the order Of
forfeiture.

National Committeeman Pre-.

FIGURES AT LEAST $4,000
National, State and Congressional
Ticket to Sweep in No
Vember.
Especial to The Argus.)


Chicago, Sept. 11.-Charles Bosch
enstein, national committeeman from
Illinois, in a statement issued from
the democratic state headquarters in
the Hotel Sherman, predicted that
Wilson and Dunno would carry Illi-
nois by at least $4,000. and that the
entire democratic ticket, COMPRESSION
al and state, would be elected in No
vember.
THE situation In Illinois is radical
ly different this year." said Mr.. Boes-
chenstein. Democrats in every sec
ton of the state have become convinc-
ed that this is to be a democratic
year, especially in Illinois, and in.
stead Of being lethargic as in fighting
for forlorn hope, have confidence in
democratic success and are wagiug a
vigorous and enthusiastic campaign.
In years past the many democratic
business men, bankers, or lawyers
would ask, what will the democrats do
in New York or New Jersey, paying
little or no attention to the fight in
Illinois. This year the question of al
is, What will be the democratic ma
jority rolled up in Illinois?"
CERTAIN OF SUCCESS.
I'm its final analysis it, means thai
every democrat in the state has be
come convinced of the certainty oil
democratic success in Illinois and i!
doing his part in the fight to roll up {
tremendous democratic majority thit
fall.
Eight years ago Deneen carried II
hnois by 299,0O while four years age
his majority over Stevenson was bu
$4,000, loss by Deneen of 276,0O0 II
four years. l am confident his popu
larity has not increased since 1908.
THE BULL MOOSE.
Stevenson received $4,000 vote
| III 1908 while Deneen received $50, 0OC
| There is no question in my mind tina
Judge Dunno will receive at least a
| large a vote as Stevenson. The bu
moose party, it is conceded by all vii
cut into the republican vote at tn
very lowest figure about 10 per cen
and the most that can be elaine
from the democratic vote is less tina
5 per cent. These figures mean tina
Judge Dunno will be elected by a M
jority of approximately $4,000, and {
course that figure means the electio
of the entire democratic ticket.
1T also means that Governor Wi
son will carry the state and tina
from this year on Illinois will b
counted in the column of Democrat
states"

1909. AS Spencer was about to de-
part one of the women screamed.
Spencer drew his revolver and shot
out" every incandescent light in the
room.
The dangers which beset the pro-
fessional burglar, together with the
ethics of the avocation, were analyti-
cally discussed on the occasion of
Spencer's breaking into the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. II. S. Ripley. The Rip
leys did Mt have anything which ap-
pealed to Nancer. but as they seemed
to be nice people" he tarried a few
minutes.
In the burglary preceding the one
in which Miss Blackstone was muir
Gerod, Spencer dropped a locket bear
ing his initials and containing like
nesses of his mother and sister.
Thereafter the gentleman burglar"
was not heard from for nearly six
months, and the police had begun to
believe that he had sought other
fields During this time Spencer, who
remained steadily employed as a ship
ping clerk, was not suspected.
On the evening of March 81, 1910,
Spencer entered the home of Mrs. Lucy
Dow on Round hill. Mrs. Dow, her
daughters, Misses Harriet and Lucy
Dow. and their guests, Miss Martha B.
Blackstone, were seated at a table en-
crossed in a picture puzzle. Spencer
entered the room.
Throw up your hands" he shouted.
Miss Blackstone screamed. Spencer
fred two shots, either of which
would have been fatal. Miss Black,
( stone died instantly. Mrs. Dow pro-
tested Spencer turned savagely up,
on her. With appraised chair Miss Har.
/ Iiet Dow, seeking to save her mother
/ hinged at the murderer. Spencer,
white with rage, with an oath, fired
upon Miss Dow, who fell to the floor
I Spencer fed. The alarm was quickly
given, but again tangible clues were
lacking
At this juncture the locket which
. Spencer had lost and which had been
found by the owner Of the house he
had attempted to enter was turned
over TO the police. Spencer was ar
rested within SO hours. IN Spencer's
home the police found loot from the
Dow home and from other burglaries
Miss Lucy Dow positively identified
Spencer. Only a little grilling was re
CURED to induce Spencer to tell all he
7 knew.
At his trial last November he ragged
moaned and cursed by turns, anC
twice attempted to leap from his cage
when especially damaging evidence
vas introduced. Spencer's father ties
tined that he had once tied his sol
10 a tree in the woods and told hin
that he intended to leave him there
for the wild animals to devour. TIT
tIial lasted two weeks. The jury re
turned in a few hours a verdict o
guilty in the first degree. In Jul!
