Green not very long ago found a lantern and a man's shirt and pair of trousers in a cornell, which is just adjacent to the field where the skull was found.

The poet was discoursing on the time-worn topic of politics of the men who take office. "I consider politics and politicians beneath my notice," he said. "I do not care for office. I wouldn't be a senator or cabinet officer, and I doubt if I could be tempted by the offer of the presidency. For the matter of that, I would rather be known as a third-rate poet than a first-rate statesman." "Well, aren't you?" Schurz shouted at him.

A CIRCUS CHEETAH Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press. "A kid Pop had sent for from the 'at an upholsterer's? IN THE CAUSE OF MORE PIE "A cheetah," said Murray pleasantly, "is the pet of kings and rajahs and nabobs and the other classy geometry of the far east. Ever see one?" "I'm not sure," little Sammy Clancy answered. The two showmen were on the train en route to join others of the tent family to show in Philadelphia. Clancy was new to the circus business. He had appeared out of the west without warning and had bought out the Rawlings and Wells Oriental hippodrome on wheels, so to speak. Both Rawlings and Wells had decamped for New York without specifying their intentions as soon as the transfer was made, and the new owner had appeared simultaneously and had picked up the reins on the runaway outfit and stopped the danger. He was a very polite, low-voiced chap, about thirty, smooth shaven, dark, with a slow, boyish smile and a steady eye. The show people liked him at sight, and within a week respected him. He did not yell at them nor use large language. As Murray expressed it after a personal experience: "He's an ultimate conclusion. So and so's the case, and there you are, and what are you going to do about it? He's a wise little boy, and he's my boss and the rest of the show's, too." "There are several in this country," went on Murray. "Some of the parks have them. But they all seem disprited. I never saw but one live one. You don't know any of the old timers, do you? Haven't been in the business long?" "Not so very long," said Sammy. "This happened nearly eight years ago, just about the time small circuses began to lose their grip on account of vaudelle packing the the- A He Had That Animal Like a Tame Kitten Around Him. aters and getting the best acts. One of the last to give up was old Pop Atkins. By jove, he trotted over his old circuit with the same old phi-ops and animals and animals that he's been giving them for years. His wife died that year, but he didn't care. They'd trained the daughter, Clover, to take her place, and she took better than the old lady." Sammy evinced a fresh interest. "Good looker!" "More than that, son, more than that. She was the $10,000 beauty, all right. None of your little sawed-off soubrettes! Slim and fair, she was, and graceful—why, Lord Harry, you should have seen her ride a horse we had. It would waltz on its eyelids if she lifted her whip. But the cheetah loved her best. Pop used to beat it and poke it playfully with a hot iron, and so on. Once when it didn't mind him he stuck the lighted end of a cigar on the tip of its nose. Oh, yes, Pop was surely playful." "Were you with him then?" asked Sammy. "I was—up to two weeks before it happened. Then Pop and I had a gentlemanly difference of opinion, and I went east. He used to whip the girl the way he had her mother. She'd fight back, but it wasn't any use, and I interfered. Well, he was her father, and there you were. And she was too proud to have him arrested and testify against him. So after I pounded Pop and relelled my feelings and been declined by Clover, I left the show. She was working up an act with the chessah then. You know what they look like, bigger than a leopard and not so crafty. They train them for hunting over in Persia and India. This one was trained to hate the hand that struck him. So it laid for Pop." "Who took care of it?" asked Sammy lastly. Traveler Made His Protest, and the Result Was Both Prompt and Effective. An intimate friend of Frank Seaman was spending a summer out in the mountains of British Columbia. On one occasion he wrote Frank that he expected to move his camp in a few weeks and take a certain route, by water and rail, to another part of the mountains. By return mail he received a letter from Mr. Seaman saying, "Don't take that route. Take the train to — and from there the boat to — Stop off at — and stay there a while. They make the best pie at the hotel there that was ever made on this earth. Don't fall to put yourself in line with it." Mr. Seaman's fondness for pie assumes, at times, serious forms. When traveling in British Columbia himself he spent some time at one of the large hotels belonging to the Canadian Pacific Railway company. The service in those hotels is excellent. show where he bought it down at Coney Island. He wasn't good for anything around the show, but he had that animal like a tame kitten around him. He and Clover had all the care of it, for the old fellow was asleep most of the time. One day it got loose. I heard about it from a pair of mine who stayed on for the sea. season. It was about two, as the show was breaking up for a new town, and the cheetah got out and calmly strolled down the main street in the moonlight. It seemed amused and interested, but when a principal citizen got busy with a shooting iron it jumped at him and chewed his shoulder. Then this youngster went after it, but it had tasted blood and was feeling mighty alry. It only cuffed at the boy, but it laid him out, and all at once Clover heard the row and ran out of her tent and down the street after it. And say, she had her belt, little elastic business with a pretty buckle on it—you know the kind girls wear—and she put that around his neck and led it back to its wagon. How's that? Plucky? yes. While the boys were waving back with pitchforces and nets and hot irons." "Another time it had toothache and they got a dentist in, and she made him give it an anaesthetic. Little things, but they made that beathen cheetah animal love the girl as if it had been a pet cat. "Pop was thinking of selling out along this time, and the prospective buyer came on from Kansas City to look the show over. Instead, he looked Clover over, and spoke to Pop. Intentions? I don't know anything about them, son. If he had any good ones he certainly kept them out of sight. But he made Clover the bonus in the business deal and he bought the outfit that night. 'Long about 12.30 he comes out of Pop's quarters and makes for Clover. She hadn't gone to bed. She was over at the cheetah's wagon talking to it and to the kid. It was moonlight, those nights in August when the moon comes up like a great flame-colored blossom, and they were in Kentucky, near the Ohio border. The kid was playing on a mouth organ, real soft and decent, when the big-chap came over, took hold of Clover's arm and told her what the deal was. "When Clover screamed Pop himself came out and tried to reason with her. She was to go on that night to Kansas City and marry the fellow there and then back to the show. Pop said he was sick and tired of the whole show business and was going abroad to seek a jong-deserved rest from his labors. And he struck her with one of those short whips they use on the animals when they lift their upper lips and growl." There was a brief silence. The train was speeding along at fifty miles an hour. Sammy stared out of the smoker window contentedly, interestedly, and watched the landscape of New Jersey take wings to itself and roll up like the scroll of a parchment. "Then what?" he said finally. "The kid let the cheetah loose," said Murray slowly. "And when the two of them grabbed her and tried to carry her off it leaped on their backs. That's about all I know. Pop left the hospital five months later with scars that he'll bear all his life and the other fellow lost one arm. That cheetah was a discriminating animal. It died from a bullet Pop managed to land right finally; but it had done its work well. And the other two skipped out that night, the kid and Clover. I always thought they made for where her mother's folks lived, in Indiana somewhere." "That's just what they did," broke in Sammy happily. "And the folks down there was good to them. They let the kid work around the farm, and Clover got well and pretty, instead of looking like a wax candle most of the time. They lived there up to a year ago. It was a pretty good farm. You haven't seen Mrs. Clancy, have you—Mrs. Sammy Clancy? No? I thought not. She's going to meet us in Philadelphia tonight. She still likes the business, somehow. I guess its just because she's Clover, and I'm that kit that looked after the cheetah." A Light Support. "What is it, do you suppose, that keeps the moon in place and prevents it from falling?" asked Araminta. "I think it must be the beams," replied Charlie, softly.—Shelburne Falls Messenger Natural Query. Mrs. Thynn—Don't you think I look plump in this gown? Thynn—Yes. Did you have it made to shelburne? but Mr. Seaman was not satisfied with the size of the pieces of pie. He argued the case briefly with the various waiters, but got no satisfactory results. Also he stated his convictions to the manager of the hotel, but that functionary was not altogether a free agent and could make no change. In the pursuit of pie, however, Mr. Seaman cannot be baffled. Shortly before dinner one day he telegraphed the general manager of the C. P. R. at Montreal that the silvers of pie which were served were not adequate to the rest of the scenery. The message flew across the continent and at dinner that evening Mr. Seaman's silvers obsequiously set before him a large half moon of pie. From that time on there were no further complaints.

Des Moines, Nov. 25.—Failure to show any conspiracy and that he had taken the advice from the city attorney brought about the release of Oliver L. Ingledeau, mayor of Marshalltown, and four codefendants, on trial in the United States district court here, charged with interfering with the work of federal officers. The sensational case took a sudden turn following testimony given in rebuttal, when Attorney C. H. Boardman, counsel for the defense, made a motion before Judge Smith McPherson to direct a verdict in favor of the defendants by finding them not guilty. After considerable consideration, Judge McPherson granted the motion as inr as Mayor Inglede, Robert Goodale, Frank Haas, Michael Clark and Arthur Shaw were concerned. As to Samuel Wenger, Leo McNamara, John Jones and Deputy Sherif Charles Nason, he took the matter under advisement until this morning, when the court convened again. In granting the motion made by Attorney Boardman, Judge McPherson took occasion to severely criticise the actions of the Marshalltown mayor and the others facing trial. He spoke to some length, telling the men of the seriousness of the offense they stood accused of and cited several decisions showing where state authorities had no jurisdiction 1 state authorities had no jurisdiction in hindering the work of federal officers. Judge McPherson indorsed the actions of the government agents and their methods of securing the evidence they were after at Marshalltown when apprehended and arrested by the Marshalltown police. Judge McPherson, in granting the motion, so far as Mayor Ingledew was concerned, considered the evidence relative to the Marshalltown executive taking the advice of City Attorney Huber to the effect that he had a on account of the failure to show where there had been any conspiracy GIRL SHOOTS BABY BROTHER A Three-Year-Old Boy Was Probably Fatally Wounded in Harrison Council Bluffs, Ia., Nov. 25—Hazel, the 6-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Eckerot, living in Harrison county, shot and probably fatally wounded her 3-year-old brother with a rifle, which had been left on a chair by an older brother.
