Y ANsAs CITY, MO-The goat is
n not beautiful animal In the face.
He hasn't a sweet disposition. He
isn't playful. He won't cuddle. But
he has his uses.
Frank e. Essex of local grain
and milling company. who raises thou
sands Of sheep and goats on his farm
near Raytown, says goat Is the most
contrariwise animal ever invented.
Everything goes contrary with him
like Mrs. Gummidge, But like Mrs.
Gummidge he has a pretty good heart
II you can get on the right side Of
him.
Mr.. Essex has one particular goat
on his place that is the best and the
worst goat that ever lived. Sometimes
Mr. Essex gets 80 alfred mad Mt him
tlat he longs to take a club and Kill
him. But every time he raises his
hand to slay him he thinks OF tho
many kindnosses the goat has done
rim. and his heart relents.
The goat. Mr.. Essex admits. is not
pretty to look at. He is bald. he has
wicked eye and his whiskers are full
Of cockleburrs. His disposition Is so
mean that he spends all his time
thinking up things to do which his
perverse mind tells him Mr. Essex
doesn't want him to do. II he is
turned into a nice pasture where there
is plenty Of green grass and fresh
running water there is no gratitude
in his heart. He gives a contempt

Cat Skaters Governors Resolution

INDIANAPOLIS. IND.-Gov. Thomas
R. Marshalls resolution to spend
July behind the locked doors of his
offices in the statehouse were shat
tered early In the morning on account
of the governors admiration for
Tom" big, black cat. the capitol
mascot.
Tom was not responsible directly
for the governors throwing open the
doors Of his executive offices. A friend
of the Democratic nominee for the
vice-presidency, knowing that the cat
was admired by the governor, initiated
the sound of cat scratching against
the door OF the private office until Mar
shall was greeted by crowd Of late
arrivals from the Baltimore conven-
ton. They gained access to the room
to congratulate the governor by imi-
tating the scratching Of cat when
loud knocking had failed.
The governor was engaged in die
tating his decisions on the numerous
petitions for pardons. when crowd
began to congregate at the doors of
the executive Offices. Frequent pound
ings and shouted requests for en-
trance were UNDECIDED.
The crowd was asked to remain
quiet. The governor, seated at his
desk. with large pile of congratulatory

Expected Spanking, Acclaimed Hero

A TLANTIC CITY. N. 1.-The trou-
"a bled conscience of Harold Isaac.
twelve years old. Of 23 Bartlett ave-
nue., led him to make a confession to
his mother the other day. He fully ex-
pected to be spanked. Instead, he was
acclaimed a hero.
Harold went over to Linwood park,
ten miles from here, on the annual
picnic of the ST. Nicholas church. Be-
fore he left his mother admonished
him not to go near the water. He
gave his solemn promise.
The youngster is an expert in the
water and later in the afternoon he
left the picnic grounds and strolled
about to Bargaintown lake. Several
Of his boy chums were disporting in
the water. Harold. although he cast
longing eyes at the cool water, remem-
bered' his mothers, warning and his
promise. He sat down on the bank as
near the water as he could without
touching it, resolved not to violate the
promise.
A few minutes later. George Kloris.
boy Of twelve and his particular
pal" got into deep water and could
not make land. despite his game fight.
He started to drift away and the other
youngsters. badly frightened when
they saw he was drowning. scampered
ashore. grabbed their clothes and
started on run to summon help.
The Springfield herald., 1912-07-26

The drowning boy called to Harold
to save him.
Then he could stand 1t no longer
He kicked Off his shoes. plunged and
battled for ten minutes and had Just
succeeded in dragging the unconscious
form ashore when some of the other
boys returned. Then he led the work
of resuscitation and was finally re-
warded. George opened his eyes and
gradually became himself once more
and by the time Harold's clothes had
dried he was almost recovered. Right
there young Isaac made every one of
his chums swear that they would not
tell about his plunge in the water.
They promised and kept mum" But
finally the youngsters conscience trou-
bled him. and he could hold in no long
er. He told his mother he had been
in the water, and stopped there ready
to take his punishment. But young
Kloris overheard the confession and
told the real story. Now Harold is
the happiest kid in town.

spit in his face, which was already
covered with blood.
The Marquis de Montebello has tele.
graphed the following version of the
incident to the Figaro and several
other journals:
This afternoon at the most elegant
social club at Nice. In the presence OF
at least 500 persons. Baron jacques de
Saint.Marc. president of the club,
whose face had already been slapped
at the Cannes Polo Club last week by
Baron de Fontevillat, was struck with
cane several times because of the
Marquis de Saint-Marc's refusal to
accept the jury OF honor which the
Marquis de Montebello deemed indis.
pensable to know whether his char.
acter. past and present, admitted OF
a hostile melting in the regular man,

This scandalous business arose out
OF grudge which originated, in the
resignation by the Baron de Saint
Marc of the vice presidency of the
new Cercle de la Mediterranee, OF
which the Due de Montebello was
president. The baron's example hav.
ing been followed by thirty OF the
members, there was certain amount
OF bad blood. The Baron de Saint.
Marc and the Comte le Bret had even
appointed seconds while they were in
Paris, 'but the affair was referred to
arbitration and had been settled with
out a hostile meeting. A few days
ago, however, the Baron de Fonte.
vi!lat struck the Baron de Saint-Marc
In the face on the ground of the
Cannes Polo Club. and the latter
promptly sent his seconds with de.
mand for satisfaction, but the Mar.
quis de Montebello and M. Homelle,
acting for the Baron de Fontevilat.
asked that the matter should be sub
mitted to arbitration. This was de
clined by NJ. de Saint-Marc's seconds,
who argued that this ISemediated as
sault was too serious to admit OF
such a course, and when they report
ed the result Of their mission to their
principal he sent a strongly worded
letter to the newspapers and said that
he would have his agsre;sor tried in
the local police court.
