She hurried to the stock Office and
bought the fifty shares before her
father reached the Office. The next
day stock raised and she was very
happy.
While she was standing in the
Office after she had returned, q little
mouse came creeping over the floor
toward her. She became frightened,
as you know most girls are afraid
of mice, and started TO scream for
help.
AS her father was passing the of

ming in he found a pale figure stand
ing on a trunk. Her wig was lying
on the floor, while her hair was
hanging down her back.
1t was a curious sight to see his
daughter dressed in clothes OF such
poor material.
In the meanwhile the mouse was
trying to creep up the trunk. Her
father then found out that his
daughter had tried to do as he
wished. When she told him about
the stock he let her keep the money
for clothes.

Mans Freak Memory Saved
Suspect Tried for Theft

The possession Of a freak memory
was revealed during the course of a
case of robbery tried some years ago
at Melbourne. The prisoner declared
that when the crime was committed
he was in the hut of man named
Lane, hearing him recite Walpole's
"Old English Baron" which occupied
two hours and a half in the delivery.
The jury disbelieved this statement,
so Lane was called to prove that he
was capable of the feat. He stepped
into the witness box and started re-
citing the story In way that showed
he knew it thoroughly.
When he had gone on for some time
without a moments hesitation, the
Judge wanted him to stop, but counsel
for the defense insisted upon proving
his case by having the whole story
repeated. Eventually 1t was decided
to admit the evidence if Lane could
repeat the last page of the book.
This being satisfactorily accomplish
ed, the abb was allowed and the
prisoner received his discharge

 The matter of withdrawing the petition from the clerks office and the matter of paying the costs will be decided later by Judge Philpot.
 Judge Jones Sustained.
 Owing to the differences of opin- ion of the attorneys in the liquor license case yesterday before Judge Philpot as to whether or not the petitioners had right to take non-suit the Graphic cites the follow ing decision of the Arkansas Supreme Court in the case of Carpenter vs. Dressler, 76 Ark. 4O3:
 "A case is not finally submitted until the argument is closed, and tho plaintiff has a statutory right to non-suit until final submission. Kirby's Digest Sec. 6167. "The court treated the agreement to submit the case as the final submissions; and@if this be right, still it was in the sound discretion of the court to per init a non-suit after final submission and the court ought to do so when it is in the interest of justice and to en able the parties to obtain a fair trial which cannot be obtained on the record as it then stands.

Meeting of Fire Committee Called for Today to De- /
 wise Ways and Means
WON'T TAKE UP STOCK
Chief of Police. to Keep City Pound Empty-Chief Breiner Buys
 Feed for Horses.

For the past several weeks Mayor Simon Bloom has been taking money out of his own pocket at different times to purchase feed for the patrol horse and stock horse owned by the city, This was necessary because To- cal feed dealers have refused to sell the city feed unless it was paid for in cash. City warrants were not ac- ceptable to them.
 Chief A. c. Breiner, of the Fire De- partment, has also been compelled to use his own money at different times to get feed for the fire horses for the same reason. On yesterday he was forced to spend his own hard earned cash to feed the fire horses at Fire Station No. 2, which, he said, had to go through all of Thursday without a bite to eat. He could not see the animals go longer without food and he bought it for them.
 Late in the afternoon he appealed to Mayor Bloom and said that things were getting desperate around the fire stations, as city could not get feed for the horses unless cash was paid for it, and that something had to be done to care for them. He re- ported that he had purchased three sacks of feed for the faithful animals yesterday, but that he could not af ford to longer put out his own money to feed the city horses. Mayor Blooms personal check had to be given yes terday to pay for feed that had beer given to stock in the city pound. H said he could not eat meal himsel
 and know that the dumb animal
 were left unfed.
 Mayor Bloom yesterday instructe | Chief of Police Frank Stewart t
 give the stockman orders to take n
 more stock for the pound when it i
 found running at large. He said tha
 the city was not in a position to car
 for the stock. properly and he woul not permit his men to imprison then

 Scandal Case. RECALL WITNESSES. Blind Senator's Attorneys Will Try to IMpeacli Testimony Given by
 Them for Plaintiff.
RECALL WITNESSES.

Oklahoma City, Feb 13.-Waiving the testimony of James K. Jacobs, hitherto considered her chief witness and who is alleged by the defense to be the chief conspirator against Sen ator Thomas P. Gore, Mrs. Minnie D. Bond closed her side of the case against the blind senator today. The defense immediately announced that it would recall several of the plain tiff's witnesses to lay the foundation for an impeachment of their testi- mony. #
 r Before closing, the plaintiff intro- duced the testimony of Mir. and Mrs. E.@A. Ballinger, aged parents of Mrs. Bond, who testified that Mrs. Bond had been a, nervous wreck ever since the alleged attack by Senator Gore. ! M. c. Bynion, sheriff, testified to the difficulty he encountered in serv- ing Gore with the papers in the suit
 The defense first recalled Dr. J. H. Earp. Dr. Earp, who is president of the Jacksonian Club, an anti-Gore or ,ganization, admitted saying to Dr. D. M. Deatty, We will have to beat Gore and get rid of him." He denied say ing, ,""We will have to get Gore" but admitted he confided to Deatty that he, Earp, was convinced that the Bond incident was a "frame-up'' on the blind statesman.
 Earp also admitted saying to M. b. Cope, of Fl Reno, Okla., that he be- lieved the Gore affair was frame up." He was asked if he did not say dirty frame-up," but denied the ex- pression.
 T. E.. Robertson was recalled and admitted getting $125 from James R. Jacobs in Washington.
 Read Dispositions.
 In opening it's case, the defense read dispositions from Miss Ina En- cry, Miss Tillie Strayhoff and Miss Madeline Keys, of Washington. Miss Emery is an author. In her deposi- ton she said she had a conversation with Mrs. Bond in the hotel Winston, in which Mrs. Bond had asked if Git wasn't awful what Senator Gore did to me?" Miss Emery said she replied that it was, if true. She said she ad- vised Mrs. Bond to drop the matter, but Mrs. Bond said:
 "No, I am going to publish it broadcast"
 Miss Strayhoff and Miss Reyes, housekeeper at the Winston, testified to seeing James R. Jacobs coming from Mrs. Bonds room frequently. Miss Keys also said dresser usually stood before the door between the rooms where the three witnesses were and the room in which the al legged attack took place. She this dresser was moved shortly before the affair.
 Howard E. Reed, detective, said he had been hired by Gore to watch Mrs. Bond and the alleged conspira- tors. He testified to the frequent conferences indulged in by these peo- pie.
